Gordon

Algebra Tutor • +3 Subjects

While at USC (University of Southern California) I tutored extensively. Helping younger students was a huge part of my personal growth, as a person and a professional. After receiving my BA in History with a focus on Modern American History, I entered the business world, yet still continued to tutor for about five years. Now that I have 10+ years of professional experience, I have been lucky to travel (both for work and leisure) to seventeen countries, and counting! I have experience tutoring a broad range of subjects, but I am most passionate about Math and History. I am diligent about organization, and feel it is the key to success (in academia and otherwise!) In my spare time, I love reading (mostly American literature and scifi: Kerouac, Hemingway, J.D. Salinger, Orwell, etc.), basketball, hiking, spending time with family, and traveling.

Adelle

Accounting Tutor • +50 Subjects

Hi! My name is Adelle Flores, and I'm an experienced tutor and teacher who is ready to help you (or your child) succeed.I graduated in the top 5% of my high school class at Katy High School and went on to attend the University of Houston (GO COOGS!). I graduated from UH in May of 2018 with a degree in Biology and minor in Medicine and Society. I participated in the Honors College while at UH as well.I currently attend the University of Houston - Victoria in Katy, Texas and am working on my Master of Business Administration.Overall, my academic courseworks highlights include the following: Calculus 1 & 2, Statistics for the Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Great Books (Literature), History of Medicine, and business topics such as Accounting, Finance, Marketing, and Economics.My teaching pedagogy involves working with each individual student to develop a plan for their success: every student is starting at a different point, and I make an effort to meet them where they are and walk with them through their learning journey instead of pulling them up to where they "should" be right away. I switch between learning styles in order to make sure that students understand the material in the way that makes sense to them. Individualization is at the core of tutoring and why students seek it, so lessons should be given in the same way.I'm very communicative and connected in to my students and their needs. I'm also willing to drive throughout the Houston area if you are interested in In-Person Tutoring.Let's get started!

Sarah

Art Tutor • +18 Subjects

I love teaching because I love seeing my students engaged with learning. I love to see the "aha" moments when they make connections and are proud of their accomplishments. I am a lifelong learner. I have a BA in Religion (Buddhism) from Carleton College and a MA in Languages and Cultures of Asia from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I have traveled to France, the Netherlands, Denmark, Japan, and China. I've lived in a suburb of Paris, a small farming island of Japan, and also in Lhasa in the Tibetan region for one summer. I taught communications/writing and comparative religion at UW-Madison. Recently, I taught pre-K at a Reggio Emilia inspired school, where learning is child directed. Currently, I wake up very early to teach English as a foreign language to students in China. I love to see the strengths and potential in all people. I believe educators have the responsibility to support equity in education and I consider myself an ally to BIPOC, AAPI, Latinx, LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and other groups. I enjoy reading, writing, photography, gardening (especially with native plants), hiking, gaming, and spending time with my family. I look forward to meeting you!

My goal as a tutor is to treat every student as a unique learner. Every student learns differently and my goal is to find out what makes them tick in order to open the doors to understanding the topic. As a tutor, I strive to get my students to not only learn the knowledge, but truly understand. I have been working in the education field since 2007 and I am familiar with various techniques. My approach to education is very hands-on and inquiry based.

Frequently Asked Questions

A tutor provides personalized feedback on your writing that goes beyond what you might get in a classroom setting. They can work with you on the specific areas where you struggle—whether that's developing a strong thesis, organizing your ideas, strengthening your argumentation, or refining your writing voice. Through one-on-one instruction, tutors help you understand the "why" behind writing conventions, not just the rules, so you can apply these skills to future assignments.

Grammar is the foundation—correct punctuation, sentence structure, and word usage make your writing clear and professional. Style, on the other hand, is about how you express your ideas: your word choice, sentence variety, tone, and voice. A strong essay needs both. Tutors help you master grammar mechanics while also developing your unique writing voice, so your essays are not just correct but engaging and persuasive.

Writer's block often happens when you're trying to write the perfect essay on the first try. Tutors teach strategies like freewriting, outlining before drafting, or breaking the essay into smaller chunks so you're not facing a blank page all at once. They can also help you move from confusion about your topic to a clear thesis statement, which gives you a roadmap for the rest of your writing. Many students find that talking through their ideas with a tutor helps clarify their thinking before they even sit down to write.

Organization is where many essays fall apart. A tutor helps you build a logical structure by identifying your main argument, organizing supporting points, and ensuring each paragraph connects back to your thesis. They teach you how to create outlines that serve as blueprints, how to write topic sentences that guide your reader, and how to use transitions that show the relationship between ideas. With practice and feedback, you'll develop the ability to organize complex arguments clearly on your own.

Yes. Citation formatting can feel overwhelming, but tutors break it down into manageable pieces. Whether you need help with MLA, APA, or Chicago style, a tutor can show you how to cite sources correctly and help you understand the purpose behind proper attribution. They also help you integrate quotes and paraphrased material smoothly into your essay so citations feel natural rather than awkward—and your arguments stay strong.

Literary analysis requires you to move beyond just understanding what happened in a text to understanding how and why the author created meaning. Tutors help you develop close reading skills—identifying literary devices, understanding themes, and analyzing character motivation. They then guide you in translating these observations into a coherent argument with specific textual evidence. This turns your analysis into a compelling essay that shows deeper engagement with the material.

Revision is where good essays become great ones. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, tutors teach you to revise in layers: first looking at big-picture issues like thesis clarity and argument strength, then moving to paragraph organization and transitions, and finally polishing grammar and style. They also help you develop self-editing skills so you can evaluate your own work critically. With this strategic approach, you'll learn to revise efficiently and see real improvement in your writing.
