Edward

Algebra Tutor • +60 Subjects

My name is Edward. I look forward to helping out anyone that is facing academic or linguistic challenges. I have a Master In Education from Texas A and M College Station and currently teach 5th grade in New Orleans, LA. I have taught Kindergarten, 1st, 4th and 5th grade in a general education classroom and in a dual-language setting. I am fluent in Spanish and have experience teaching ELL students. I have tutored for Math courses as high as Pre-Calculus. I love teaching Math, Essay writing, and Reading. Those are the core subjects, I know, but I truly have a passion for teaching and seeing individual growth in those I help tutor. I understand that everyone learns differently and look forward to helping you achieve your goals by differentiating my instruction so that you can feel comfortable and positive about the learning experience.

Heather

AP Music Theory Tutor • +21 Subjects

I believe that every student has great potential. I used to be a public school teacher in Anaheim, CA and now I'm a homeschooling mom in Oklahoma! I teach my children at home as well as classes at our homeschool co-op each week. At home, I use a classical method of education which emphasizes reading, writing, research, Latin, Debate and more which gives students great critical thinking skills.What I have learned from all different teaching experiences is that students who are struggling probably didn't get to be taught the right way--the way that matches how they think and learn. A good teacher should be able to recognize when a certain approach isn't working and then alter or completely change the approach. I can work with anyone who really gives a good effort. My main strengths are Language Arts (which includes grammar, writing, reading, spelling and everything else in our English language), Math, up to pre-Algebra, and music theory, including A.P. Music Theory for high schoolers looking to major in music in college. Overall, I try to instill the concepts of "how to learn" and "how to think critically" instead of "what to learn." With that perspective, you can begin to pursue subjects that you love, and you can learn anything!My degrees and credentials are B. A. Music in Applied Piano and Church Music; CA teaching credential (which I have now let expire); M. M. Choral Conducting. As stated above, I teach 13-14 year olds at our homeschool co-op. We study Math, Logic, Latin, Writing, Science Research, and Debate. We prepare for a mock trial every year.

Katherine

Adult Literacy Tutor • +33 Subjects

I have a Master of Arts in Teaching degree from Salem College and a Bachelor of Arts degree from UNC-Chapel Hill (Go Tar Heels!), where I was awarded the Outstanding Student Award at UNC-Chapel Hill. Since 1996, I have held a master's level teaching license-teaching elementary, middle and high school students in regular education, special education and homeschool settings. I recently became a Certified Computer Science Discoveries Educator through Code.org. Equitable access to books and sharing the love of reading is my dual passion- I have helped bring thousands of books to rural areas with the Dolly Parton Imagination Library, created a website with my daughter to provide an accessible, engaging resource used by families all over the world, and worked as a literacy coach in multiple states. I am a Scorer for standardized ELA assessments in the Southwest- so I know what it takes to master the EOG tests! I have tutored extensively since 2020- a proud moment recently is one of my third-grade students just won her schoolwide reading trimester award-exceeding the classroom goal by 1138%! I have always seen a teacher's role as a guide- to provide the educational tools, safe space and creative experiences to let students lead their learning adventure. It is a privilege and an honor to get to be a part of your child's educational journey!

Jeanne

ACT English Tutor • +43 Subjects

I graduated from Case Western Reserve University in 2012 with a BA insociology with honors. I greatly enjoyed my time at CWRU, and I wasinvolved in groups such as Women in Liberal Arts and the ResidentialHousing Association???s Community Involvement Committee. I becameinvolved in sociology research in elderly health care at CWRU, where Igained a love of data analysis. Because of that, I completed apost-baccalaureate program at Cleveland State University last year,and next August I will be going to graduate school for an MPH inepidemiology. I???ve been accepted to Emory and University ofMichigan-Ann Arbor so far, and I???m waiting on the other schools I???veapplied to. I???m really excited to start my career in epidemiology, andI???m not even sure how I???ll decide which school to attend!I???ve been tutoring since 2009; for the last six years, I haveprivately tutored junior high to graduate level students in all typesof subjects: from algebra to to biology to history to statistics. I???veparticularly tutored many high school students, where I tutor nearlyall aspects of their curriculum. I have tutored extensively in ACT/SATpreparation, with private and professional experience. I also workedfor a year at the Cleveland State Writing Center, where I helpedcollege students improve their writing skills. I love tutoring in allits forms, but I am particularly passionate about ACT/SAT prep,writing, and high school math. Writing has always been a passion ofmine, and I feel like it is applicable to so many parts of life. It isalso so fulfilling to see a student improve on the ACT/SAT, makingmeasurable changes and gaining confidence. I???ve always enjoyed math aswell, and I enjoy showing students how math can be interesting andfun.My tutoring style is really student-focused. I very much strive totailor my tutoring to each student???s needs, as every student is uniquein their needs and preferences. I work towards full comprehension,talking through their thinking processes, and helping them learnthrough their own mechanisms. I teach them the skills, strategies, andcontent, and I give students the confidence to utilize these toimprove their studies. I reinforce the foundations of what they arelearning, and particularly in test prep, I make sure students have allthe important strategies down. I try and build camaraderie with mystudents, making sure they feel comfortable and realize that I toowent through the stressful process of school, whether it be juniorhigh, high school, or college.When I am not working or in school, I really value my free time. Ienjoy crafting and sewing, and am working on dresses and earrings. Ilove watching documentaries and listening to podcasts. I like readinga lot of nonfiction, particularly sociology and science, whether it bebooks or articles. I like exploring Cleveland, such as trying newfood, going to exhibits, and anything from bowling to arcades.

Tara

Elementary School Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of South Florida with a bachelors degree in Elementary Education. I have been a classroom teacher since 2010, however I discovered many years ago that I have a passion for tutoring students, working one on one to determine their obstacles for learning and then help them discover what strategies work best for them to overcome their challenges and build their self confidence. Although I have tutored students in grades K-7, and a few adults to take the TABE assessment, I especially like working with the younger age levels to help them achieve a strong foundation of skills to build upon. I have also worked extensively with children on the Autism spectrum.I feel it is essential to build a healthy relationship with my students so they feel safe and secure in their learning environment. Also, the better I know my student the more able I am to provide them with unique and meaningful learning experiences to spur their natural curiosity and keep them motivated. It is also important to teach them that making mistakes is part of the learning process and how to grow from the experience.My overall goal as a tutor is to foster students with a passion for learning and an excitement for discovery as well as help them build a healthy self image and resiliency to overcome challenges and succeed.

Salinah

6th Grade AP Language Composition Tutor • +92 Subjects

The careers I've chosen reflect my never-ending pursuit of knowledge and service by helping others achieve their goals through education. At SUNY Purchase College, I supervised and worked closely with residential professionals and fellow students to assist in providing them with a safe learning community by creating and facilitating interactive programs. I've worked as an Administrator for a Master's program focusing on Stem Cell Biology at the University of Southern California and I've worked with medical doctors who are seeking to become specialized in their chosen field of Otolaryngology at the University of Nevada as Program Coordinator. My drive, determination, perseverance has helped me attain these career opportunities and have solidified my passion for working in higher education. Having the opportunity to work with students from different backgrounds and academic concentrations allowed me to become an individual with strong leadership and problem-solving skills paired with a prowess for professional and academic excellence.
