Jaclyn

Anatomy Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am a graduate of Rider University. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Behavioral Neuroscience with a concentration in Pre-Medical studies and a minor in Spanish. I am currently in the College of Nursing at Villanova University working on receiving my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree and continuing on to becoming a Nurse Practitioner. While I was attending Rider University, I was a tutor in Biology and all levels of Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor is Anatomy because it is very interesting to me and I use Anatomy everyday as a Student Nurse. I believe that tutoring is helpful because sometimes hearing a different explanation of a certain topic or subject makes it easier to learn. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, swimming, reading, and doing yoga. I love helping people any way that I could. I believe that tutoring is a great way to help students understand and learn material by minimizing stress and increasing their confidence level.

College English Tutor • +13 Subjects

I have a PhD in Russian from Columbia University, and 31 years of university-level teaching experience. Now that I'm a Professor Emeritus, I've became an art educator and language tutor. I've tutored people who were native speakers of French, Spanish, German, and Hungarian, among European languages; and of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among Asian languages.And, actually, tutoring for SAT Prep and helping people improve their grades in high school English is not so different from that. When I do that kind of tutoring, I emphasize features of the very complicated English verb system such as colloquial phrasal verbs and their more formal equivalents ("to go back"/"to return").Of course, every student is different, and each teaching situation is different, so I bring to each session a prepared lesson that both reviews the previous lesson and works on new problems and ideas.

Asia

Elementary School Reading Tutor • +7 Subjects

As an Alumna of Rockhurst University, I have dedicated my career and voluntary work to advocacy and education. I am currently attending Law School at Washburn University as I wanted to obtain a career to use my reading and writing skills for advocacy. I enjoy teaching English, Reading, and Writing skills as they are the foundation for any academic or professional opportunity. During undergraduate I ran my own mentoring program where I assisted high school students with english essays, scholarship essays, and reading skills, In which every senior in the program was accepted into college and received scholarships. Concurrently, I served as a Girl Scout Troop leader where I practiced sight words, reading comprehension, and writing skills using microphones and bubbles. I believe that a creative education space builds resilience and critical thinking skills which will nicely accompany a strong foundation of reading and writing skills.

I am a graduate of Elizabethtown Community and Technical College and Western Kentucky University. From these two post-secondary education institutions, I hold an A.A.S in Business Technology Management Option, a B.S. in General Management, and a M.A.E. in Learning and Behavior Disorders Grades K-12. I've received additional training through the University of Louisville to become an Autism specialist. I went into Special Education because I have a passion for helping others and desire to help everyone reach their maximum potential. Since 2011, I have worked with high school students with a variety of disabilities in the resource and co-taught settings in a wide variety of subject areas. My favorite subjects include English, US History, and Arts & Humanities. I also enjoy helping students improve executive functioning and social skills. When working with students, I like to find the learning style that works best for them to help them succeed. Outside of teaching, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my family. Being a wife and mother are my greatest accomplishments. I also enjoy participating in theatre on and off stage, writing, baking, sewing, painting, and playing video games. I am looking forward to continuing to help others, while still being available to my family, by being an online tutor!

Basic Computer Literacy Tutor • +21 Subjects

My happiest employment memories are those as a Walt Disney World Cast Member. I was hired as a Merchandise Host, and after 16 years left as an Information Technology Analyst, specializing in data architecture and business analysis.Today, I call myself a Word Wrangler. It's a way of expressing a well-established love/hate relationship with the English language.Before I took an 85% pay cut to work at Disney, I had been a Jr. High School Band Director. That went splendidly (not!), for a year, before I retreated to Technical Writing. For several years, first drafts were always painful, but revisions were kind of fun... rewarding, even.Then I learned to outline. After a while I could more easily wrangle with the the words.I have also worked with computers since olden times, even before the internet... even before the PC. We used to call them "confusers", but I've always loved them. I was a databased programmer for several years. For three years, my office was in a trailer back of Epcot's World of Motion... which I saw transformed to the current Test Track. Later, I moved to an office above the Main Street Bakery at the Magic Kingdom. There, I set up an intranet for Theme Parks Finance so managers in shops, food service locations, and at attractions could adjust labor schedules hour by hour, based on actual attendance.But... that's enough about me. Where are YOU headed? What should we focus on to be sure you are ready reaching toward your goals?

Rachelle

Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a highly motivated UCLA graduate with a B.S. degree in physiology and over 10 years of tutoring experience. I was in an advanced math class in high-school, so I started tutoring at the age of 16. I have tutored kids as young as 5 years old to college-aged in a variety of different subjects. I mainly tutor different levels of math such as Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and grade school math as well as some Biology. I have helped numerous students understand difficult concepts as well as drastically improve their grades. I am extremely patient, and I make sure that each of my students thoroughly understands every concept before test day. I think my greatest accomplishment in tutoring was helping a girl who was failing Algebra get a B+ in the class.Outside of work, I love to cook, exercise, watch Netflix shows, and explore new restaurants with my friends.

Academic Coaching Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am a current third year dental student at the University of Michigan. I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Microbiology with a minor in Mathematics from the University of Michigan in 2017. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Math, and dental related tutoring (DAT, pre-dental). I firmly believe that math doesn't have to be boring and love to find ways to make it interesting! In my experience, helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests and teaching tips and tricks I have learned along the way is very rewarding. I also love help navigating the confusing path as a pre-dental/pre-health student.

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.
