Jeffrey

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am enrolled in the Mechanical Engineering PhD program at Rice University which will begin Fall 2020, and I am hoping to return to academia as a professor after earning my PhD. In the meantime, I am looking to share my passion for gaining knowledge, specifically in STEM, by educating the up and coming members of such a great field. I have experience tutoring both Calculus and Physics at Notre Dame, as well as experience as a Student Assistant for Differential Equations and Mechanics. I believe the key to learning is much deeper than learning to solve problems and that seeking knowledge is one of the best means for personal improvement.

Rhea

AP Statistics Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Chicago. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences, and I am on the pre-medical track. I am extremely passionate about tutoring, and I have several years of experience tutoring students in my high school's learning center in various subjects as well as tutoring private clients in Standardized Test preparation. Given that I graduated high school recently, I have taken several Standardized Tests and high school subjects myself, so I have a comprehensive understanding of not only how to tutor these subjects and exams, but also what it is like to take them. While I have a wide range of interests and am able to tutor various subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring in Standardized Test preparation (including ACT, SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams), Biology, Chemistry, Math, and Spanish. I truly believe that students should have the opportunity to learn in the way that works best for them, and I love being able to help them succeed by creating a comfortable tutoring environment in which we can best assess their particular needs and use strategies specific to them. My passion for learning drives everything that I do, and tutoring is the platform that I use to try to spread that passion to others. In my free time, you can find me playing badminton, listening to music, or baking something (hopefully) delicious.

Tony

Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, and I will be starting a graduate program at Columbia in August. I am about to complete a year of service with City Year, an education non-profit that places young adults into under-served schools. As a City Year member, I worked full-time in the classroom with middle-school students who were in approximately the 10th percentile for math (meaning they score lower than 90% of students). One-fourth of those students were able to grow around 15 percentile points by the end of the year! Hobbies: reading, cooking, gardening, music, art, nature, books, writing

Charles

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Matthew

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!

Frequently Asked Questions

The subjunctive mood is one of the biggest hurdles for advanced Spanish students because it requires understanding not just grammar rules, but the speaker's intent and attitude—something that doesn't exist in English. A tutor can break down the key triggers (doubt, desire, emotion, impersonal expressions) with targeted practice, then move you from mechanical conjugation drills to natural usage in conversation. This personalized approach helps you internalize when and why to use subjunctive, rather than just memorizing rules.

Many 12th graders struggle with preterite vs. imperfect because both describe the past, but they serve different purposes—preterite for completed actions, imperfect for ongoing or habitual ones. A tutor can use real-world examples and narrative practice to help you feel the difference intuitively: "I was walking (imperfect) when I saw (preterite) my friend." With consistent 1-on-1 practice, you'll develop the instinct to choose correctly without overthinking.

In most 12th Grade Spanish classes, speaking time is limited—you might get a few minutes per class while 30 other students wait their turn. A tutor provides dedicated conversation practice where you're speaking the entire session, making mistakes safely, and getting immediate feedback on pronunciation and natural phrasing. This consistent speaking practice is what builds actual fluency; research on language learning shows that speaking time is the strongest predictor of conversational ability.

12th Grade Spanish vocabulary goes beyond basic nouns and verbs—you're learning abstract concepts, literary terms, and specialized vocabulary for essays and discussions. A tutor can help you use spaced repetition and retrieval practice (testing yourself over time) rather than cramming, and connect new words to themes you're studying in class. They can also show you how to use context clues and word roots to expand vocabulary naturally, rather than memorizing isolated lists.

By 12th grade, you're not just learning grammar—you're reading literature, analyzing films, and understanding regional differences across Spanish-speaking countries. A tutor can provide cultural immersion-style learning by discussing why certain expressions exist, how history shapes language use, and what's considered appropriate in different contexts. This deeper understanding helps you read between the lines in literature and speak more authentically, not just grammatically correctly.

By 12th grade, you've likely picked up some pronunciation habits that are hard to break on your own. A tutor can identify specific sounds you're mispronouncing (like the Spanish 'r' or the distinction between 'z' and 'c'), explain the mouth position needed, and give you targeted practice with immediate correction. Regular 1-on-1 feedback is far more effective than classroom corrections, and helps you develop the muscle memory for authentic pronunciation.

AP Spanish requires mastery of all four skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—at a high level, plus cultural knowledge. A tutor can help you practice the specific exam formats (like the free-response essay and conversation simulations), teach you time-management strategies for timed sections, and focus on your weakest areas. They can also help you develop a natural, sophisticated speaking voice for the oral exam, which goes beyond classroom preparation.

Even advanced students sometimes hesitate with ser (permanent/identity) versus estar (location/condition/emotion) because the rules overlap in ways that don't translate to English. A tutor can use consistent examples and practice to help you internalize the distinction—"Soy ingeniero" (I am an engineer, permanent identity) vs. "Estoy cansado" (I am tired, temporary condition)—and explain why certain phrases use one verb over the other. With targeted practice, it becomes automatic rather than a mental checklist.
