Krista

ACT Writing Tutor • +25 Subjects

I have worked with youth for the past six years, and one thing I have found to be consistently true is that no two kids are the same. As a tutor it is really important to not think that just because one method works for one kid that it will automatically work with another. It is my job to make whatever the student is struggling with personal or stated in a way that makes it click. I went to the University of Central Florida and majored in Sociology focusing on youth. I started out volunteering with an organization called Youth for Christ and discovered that working with youth is what brings me the most joy. When an opportunity to volunteer teaching students who had been in trouble with the law came up I jumped on it. These kids required me to not only help the students understand a specific concept but to help them to see the value in understanding the concepts at all. I fell in love with tutoring through that organization because when students struggle with school they will often unknowingly feel a sense of shame that goes pretty deep, when they are able to finally understand what they are struggling with it helps to build their grades as well as their confidence. I love getting to be the person who helps them feel that sense of accomplishment.

Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

I believe strongly in the importance of a good education, and in the ability of students to achieve to the utmost of their potential which is often much greater than they think they can achieve! Through learning science, mathematics, foreign languages, technology, literature, history, and the arts, a person can broaden his or her horizons to discover new worlds they've never imagined. My desire is to help people take those steps of discovery and to help create lifelong learners.

Algebra Tutor • +20 Subjects

I believe fully in the philosophy of lifelong learning, and I plan to be a lifelong learner. For ten years, I have enjoyed tutoring others in my areas of strength, not only to help with content mastery, but also to help others enjoy becoming lifelong learners themselves. I have just graduated with my Master's degree in viola performance from Carnegie Mellon University, having earned a Bachelor's degree from Western Michigan University.I am a musician by training, but I enjoy seeking knowledge in all subjects, and sharing that knowledge with anybody who will listen. In particular, I love to tutor writing, because the tutoring process encompasses both the "strict" rules of written grammar and the "open-ended" rules of content organization. To learn to write, a student must learn to express ideas, and in this setting, tutors and students can truly get to know each other.The most effective learning comes after we make learning enjoyable. That takes effort from both the teacher and the student. The teacher should come to the table with a good method and the creativity to break from the method from time to time. The student should come with an open mind, a little bit of patience, and curiosity about at least one thing - even if it is not directly related to the lesson. Some of the best learning moments can start out as light conversations!

Andrea

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

I have an associate in arts, which I received from Glendale Community College. I am currently finishing my bachelors in education at Arizona State University, and I plan on teaching middle school mathematics. I have interned in numerous classrooms and with various grade levels. I have worked with small groups of students as well as a whole class. I am familiar with the traditional ways of teaching subjects as well as common core standards, specifically in math. I tutor in Math, English, Reading, and Writing, although my favorite subject to tutor in is math, because I am going to be a math teacher. I enjoy helping students and my goal for math, is not to make students love math, but to be able to understand math, and all other subjects I tutor in as well. My teaching philosophy can be described as practicing math over and over until it becomes second nature. I also believe it is important to understand the process in math and not just remembering problems or getting answers. It is important to understand how and why you solve problems a certain way to fully understand mathematics, and that is why I believe in teaching reasoning and logic in math. My tutoring style can be described as one where I will constantly question and ask my students what they are doing. If they can answer in detail and explain their reasoning and logic in math, then that is how I know they fully understand the content they are learning. I will not just give the answers when a student is stuck, I will guide with questions, use background knowledge and relate new content to what students have already learned, because I will be looking to my students to be able to find the solution themselves. I feel this is the best approach when I tutor, because it will be more rewarding for the students when they figure out the problems with guidance from me. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy taking my husky puppy to the park, and hanging out with my family. I also play in a softball league with my sister and brothers on Sunday, and I enjoy catching up on some of my favorite Netflix shows in my down time.

I graduated from Lynn University in 2010 with a degree in Communications. I'm a patient, encouraging, positive tutor who specializes in liberal arts, English, and essays. I love helping people learn! I believe to be an effective tutor one must be a good listener and encourage a dialogue, both of which I practice in my tutoring sessions. Tutoring is about the ability to really address what the student needs. Outside of academia I enjoy fashion, movies, and the arts.

Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects

I recently graduated from Houghton College with a B.S. in Biochemistry. While in college I loved the challenging courses and taking more classes than required, and I achieved high As in all Science and Math coursework.I started tutoring in high school and continued tutoring all throughout college for as many courses as possible including Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biology, Physics and Calculus, among others, for both high school and college students. It is incredibly satisfying to see students who were struggling finally succeed. I have a great track record of helping students succeed in the their classes, raising Cs to Bs and Bs to As and increasing MCAT scores as much as 8 points. Along with tutoring I teach MCAT review courses and love engaging students in the long and difficult process. I plan on attending medical school a I am excited and passionate about a career in medicine.Along with academics I love to read for fun and play soccer. I played varsity soccer for four years in high school, and intramural soccer in college. I also love other outdoor activities like swimming and hiking. I am a Giants fan so I like to watch football, mostly the Giants, and play card or board games with friends.

Biology Tutor • +33 Subjects

My life long passion has been teaching and influencing children. For 20 years I volunteered in community/church based organizations, teaching and helping the young. After raising my own children, I decided to go back to school and get a teaching degree. I graduated Trinity Christian College with an elementary education degree having endorsements in English, science, and social studies. I also earned an ESL certification. I love teaching online! I have 5 years of online experience teaching students from 5-15 years old one on one tutoring sessions. My desire is to make a personal connection with each student; then use that connection to build the groundwork for a successful student/teacher relationship. I customize each lesson to fit the student's personal needs and learning goals. I welcome adult English learners as well. I specialize in conversational & written English skills. I am a native of Chicago and love to talk about my city. Looking forward to meeting you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Score improvement depends on your starting point and how consistently you work with a tutor. Students who work through targeted practice problems and focus on their specific weak areas typically see meaningful progress. Many students improve by 50-100+ points when they receive personalized instruction that addresses their gaps in foundational concepts, problem-solving strategies, and test-taking timing.

The key is identifying exactly which topics are holding you back—whether that's algebra, geometry, statistics, or test-taking pacing—and working intensively on those areas rather than reviewing everything broadly.

Pacing is one of the biggest challenges on timed tests. Tutors help by teaching you to:

  • Quickly identify which problems are easier vs. harder so you tackle them strategically
  • Recognize when to move on rather than get stuck on one problem
  • Use estimation and elimination techniques to solve problems faster
  • Practice under timed conditions to build speed and confidence

Working through full-length practice tests with a tutor helps you develop a rhythm and discover your personal pacing sweet spot.

Many students struggle with algebra concepts (solving equations, working with variables), multi-step word problems that require translating English into math, and geometry reasoning. Others have solid math skills but struggle with test anxiety, rushing through problems, or not fully understanding what a question is asking.

A strong tutor starts by diagnosing where your specific gaps are—through practice problems and past test attempts—rather than assuming you need help everywhere. This targeted approach makes your study time much more efficient.

Practice tests serve two purposes: diagnostic and confidence-building. Early on, a full practice test helps you and your tutor identify patterns in what you're missing. Later, timed practice tests build stamina and help you refine your pacing strategy.

The most effective approach is to take a practice test, thoroughly review every wrong answer with your tutor to understand why you missed it, then focus your studying on those topics before attempting the next practice test. This cycle of test-review-study is far more productive than drilling random problems.

Yes—algebra and geometry are core to CAHSEE Mathematics. You need to be comfortable solving equations, working with variables, understanding functions, and reasoning through geometry problems. Strong algebra skills are especially critical because many word problems require you to translate a real-world situation into an equation and solve it.

If algebra or geometry has always been challenging, let your tutor know early so they can help rebuild your foundation in these areas while you're also preparing for the test overall.

Confidence is built through preparation and repetition. When you understand the material, know what to expect from question formats, and have practiced under timed conditions multiple times, anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors help by creating a low-pressure environment where you can make mistakes and learn from them without judgment.

Additionally, tutors teach practical anxiety-management strategies like breathing techniques, positive self-talk, and how to recognize when you're overthinking a problem. Many students find that their anxiety drops significantly once they've successfully solved similar problems multiple times.

The best tutors combine deep knowledge of CAHSEE content with the ability to explain concepts clearly and adapt to how you learn. They're skilled at diagnosing exactly where your understanding breaks down, then breaking complex topics into manageable pieces.

Great CAHSEE tutors also understand test strategy—not just math. They know common pitfalls, time-management techniques, and how to help you approach unfamiliar problem types. Equally important is patience and the ability to build your confidence, especially if you've struggled with math in the past.
