Mark

10th Grade Math Tutor • +44 Subjects

I am a bio-medical engineering student with a minor in mathematics at Arizona State University. I absolutely love science and mathematics and look for any opportunity to help others to understand why these subjects fascinate me. I am currently in my senior year at ASU; I have a 3.96 GPA, and I am married with two young boys. For the past two years I have been working for the University Academic Success Program at ASU helping students excel in math, physics, and chemistry. Those I tutor come from a diverse background and often require assistance with advanced topics within the aforementioned subjects. Prior to starting my academic path, I spent 8 years in the Army. Half of my military career was spent as an air defense coordinator, and the other half as a respiratory therapist. I have a very broad set of skills and life lessons that I fall back on when I tutor. In my youth I was disinterested in education, and I joined the military when I was 19 because my grades did not leave me with many other options. The Army gave me the opportunity to rethink how I look at the world. I want students, especially young students struggling to find meaning in what they are doing in school, to grasp the impact that education can have in their lives if they embrace it.

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I grew up in Hawaii but left the beaches to attend Boston College. In 2004 I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing with a Mathematics minor, and moved to New York City to work as a high school math teacher.While teaching math full time in the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT Prep, I also attended graduate school at night at Brooklyn College and earned my Master's degree in 2007 with a focus on Math Education.I took a break from teaching to join Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a Christian missions organization, and traveled to Rwanda on a mission trip before returning to the east coast to work as a tutor. I served as the main math tutor at an education center in New Jersey for two years, helping students with their school work and aiding them in preparation for the SAT and other standardized tests including the ACT, SAT II, ISEE and SSAT.While working as a tutor I also authored a memoir based upon my time in Rwanda and in 2011 self-published a book entitled, "A Remnant in Rwanda."I love working with youth and teaching them the value of education, critical thinking, and living life for a great purpose. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, movies, everything Apple, and working out.

I am currently an undergraduate student at Oregon Institute of Technology in the Biology Health Sciences program. In high school, my favorite subjects were English and history, but I became interested in the sciences at the beginning of my collegiate career. With that being said, I have a variety of interests that help to make me well rounded tutor. I am very patient and willing to adapt to the needs of each individual student that I work with. My goal is to connect with each student I work with and make a comfortable learning environment in which the student can achieve his or her goals.

Taariq

ACT Prep Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Duke University, where I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics in 2014. I am primarily a math tutor but I also enjoy teaching chemistry and physics. Math was always my favorite subject in high school and I continued my love of math at Duke. I have also been a middle school and high school tutor throughout my time at Duke through the Program in Education. One of my crowning achievements at Duke was winning the DT Stallings Award, which is awarded to a Duke senior who has shown sustained and dedicated service to tutoring local school children. When I am tutoring a student, I prefer a very hands-on approach. I love working out problems with my students after working through an example problem completely. By working problems out with my students, I am able to help them if and when they get stuck. I hope to convey to every student the ability to think logically and persevere when things seem difficult.Outside of math and tutoring, I am a huge sports fan and novel reader. Since I graduated from Duke, I have a fierce love for all things Blue Devils and I really enjoyed watching Duke Basketball in Cameron Indoor Stadium. One of my favorite things to do is to read a novel while listening to my iPod.

10th Grade Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am currently a college student at Widener University majoring in Spanish Secondary Education. I plan to become a Spanish /ESL teacher and hopefully have a certification in Mathematics as well. I am also very active and I love to dance, cook, and travel.I currently tutor for Widener Reads/Counts at the Widener Partnership Charter School as a Math, Reading and Spanish tutor/ teacher's assistant. I also tutor at the local Boys and Girls club as well as for the College Access Center of Delaware County as a volunteer. I am extremely passionate about teaching and education which also contributed to my induction in Kappa Delti Pi International Honors Society for Education.I have had much experience in tutoring and have also been able to teach in some circumstances. My tutoring experiences began at home and in high school when I tutored my siblings,older family members, and fellow peers. I cannot describe the feeling I get when a student is finally able to achieve a concept, or make great progress in a subject area that proved difficult. I have been able to teach multiple Spanish classes because the Spanish teacher at the school in which I tutored resigned. I was able to engage the students and at times I had to create lessons on the spot. The experience is definitely one that will benefit me later for my teaching career after graduation. I am very excited to work with other students and hope to be very helpful in their studies.I am very excited to work with new students! Please do not hesitate to ask me questions and schedule a lesson with me. My goal is to be as of much assistance as I can, and to guide you into success in whatever difficulty.

I am passionate about educating students about science and applying real world phenomenon to my lessons. I have taught as a tutor during the summer with high school students for science enrichment. I have also taught science to elementary and middle school students. I love teaching students using hands on experiments and class demos. I try to keep the content engaging and as entertaining as possible. I went to the University of Saint Mary where I received a bachelors degree in biology. I also have a Masters in Secondary Education from Pittsburg State University.I can tutor all levels of elementary and middle school science. I can also tutor biology to high school students, which is my favorite subject. I enjoy teaching biology because it is truly the study of life in many different aspects from the cell to ecosystems. My teaching philosophy for science is to always try your best and that is all I can ask for. Education is the key to success. From a working family I grew up valuing education as a way out of poverty.Outside of the classroom I am interested in achieving a higher biology degree. I also work at Science City in Kansas city which brings science phenomena alive. I am also obsessed with animals. I have three pets at home and hope to continue to add more to my family.

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.
