Jordan

College English Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a highly motivated and passionate teacher/tutor with absolute devotion to aiding students in their inspiring story. I was born and raised in Utah and have developed a deep background in the principles of creative writing, college-level writing, reading, and literature. I earned a BA in English with a Creative Writing Emphasis at Weber State University and have had some of my fictional work offered to be published in undergrad literary journals. Currently, I am pursuing a master's degree at Western Governor's University in Secondary English Education and have just finished all my coursework. This, along with over three years of experience working with students from diverse backgrounds, is the foundation of my commitment to helping out all my students. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, creative writing and academic writing; and most importantly, inspiring students to develop a love for learning and always giving their best effort.

I have been in the education field for over 15 years. I love assisting others of all ages in exploring and expanding their learning capacity, which in turn, enriches the quality of their lives.

7th Grade Reading Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am a former high school teacher in the state of Illinois. Having taught both French and Spanish for the past thirty-two years, I have had the pleasure of sharing my passion for languages with all age groups from junior high to university students. During this time, I have tutored students in French from all ages. I have also had experience tutoring a broad range of subjects outside of foreign language study. I have a bachelor's degree from the University of Illinois in French with a certificate in teaching. This was accompanied by a minor in Spanish language. I have a Master's degree in Media Communications from Governor's State University and continuing education studies in Education, Psychology, Sociology, and Social Studies. My experience with youth is not limited to the classroom. I am heavily involved with the Lions Club at the local, district, and state levels. My involvement includes many service projects but my main focus is with youth: the Leo Club (a younger version of the Lions) and Lions Quest ( an instructional program for social interaction). I enjoy teaching the youth of today, each experience is unique, and I find I learn from them as well.

ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +100 Subjects

I love learning, teaching and interacting with people about the subject matter that I am very passionate about. I do not believe that any subject is superior to another, and that together they form the basis of a well-rounded, informed individual. With regard to my particular areas of expertise, History, Social and Political Sciences, I feel that these areas all interact, and react, to each other and form an essential part of our human story; the story of us if you will.

“The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards," wrote Anatole France. This statement is an excellent introduction to my teaching philosophy. I believe that the fundamental responsibility and challenge in teaching is to transmit one's own enthusiasm and curiosity to students. In my experience, once students are curious and engaged, teaching is much more effective and enjoyable. I have found this to be successful in lecture, laboratory, and individual tutoring settings.I am currently an adjunct lecturer in the physics department at the College of Staten Island, and I am working on my Ph.D. in theoretical/mathematical physics from Kent State University (Kent, OH). I have been tutoring and assisting students in introductory-level physics courses since 2004, and I greatly enjoy the teaching aspect of graduate school. As a teaching assistant in both laboratory and lecture settings over the course of six years, my average overall rating from undergraduate evaluations is 4.37 (out of 5). In addition to teaching college students, I have mentored high school students working on science fair projects in the Washington, DC, area. I am a member of the American Physical Society and the New York Academy of Sciences.My primary tutoring interests are physics, mathematics, and SAT prep, and in the rare moments when I’m not teaching or working on my dissertation, I enjoy practicing yoga and playing music.

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.
