I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals.

Greetings! My name is Brenda Corley. I am originally from Chicago, IL, but I currently live in Indianapolis, IN. I am a high school English teacher for Indianapolis Public Schools and previously I have tutored students for GED preparation, ESL and writing composition. I enjoy interacting with people from different cultures and learning about other countries.I believe we are all capable of accomplishing anything we put our minds to do. However, sometimes we need a little guidance or extra motivation and that's what I am here to do. I desire to empower you to be your best and inspire you to reach your academic goals.

My father loved camping and the out of doors and so some of my earliest memories are of camping in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. As a family, we took extended trips through the western United States, Canada and Alaska, towing a travel trailer and camping in mostly primitive camps. As a young teen, I started backpacking in the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado and developed a great love for the mountain and canyon country of the west. It was this great love of nature that attracted me to science--first as a Forestry major at Northern Arizona University but which eventually evolved to the study of chemistry, as that seemed to me the basic science that was as the heart of understanding nature. While my love of learning was probably instilled in me very early in my life (thanks to my parents, I was an avid reader), it really came out while in college. In finishing my chemistry degree, I realized I was just beginning to learn what I wanted to learn and went on to graduate school to get a PhD studying Physical Chemistry at Purdue University.I am now retired from full time teaching, but not from my love of learning (nor my love of the mountains) which has continually evolved. My experiences of teaching science from demonstrations in elementary school to graduate level courses have given me a great interest in the teaching of science to the general public and sharing with others, that same awe, wonder and appreciation I have."To become educated is to become more human."

I am currently a fourth grade special educator providing support in primarily math, reading and writing. I also work as a reading interventionist with the Leveled Literacy Intervention program as well as Sonday for students who benefited from multisensory reading instruction.I graduated in June 2004 from Columbia High School, in May 2008 from Rutgers College with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology, in May 2009 with a Master's Degree in Education and have dual certification in elementary education (K-5) and middle school mathematics (6-8). I returned to school at Kean University to get my Teacher of Students with Disabilities certification which I completed in 2013.Working with students with special needs means working with learners with widely varying abilities. I design creative, stimulating lesson plans that accommodate multiple intelligences, bring a hands-on approach to learning, and keep students interested and focused. I encourage student learning by using a number of hands on activities, including the use of manipulatives, and by incorporating technology into my lessons.

My goal is very simple: To help you write well. I will read through your writing, analyze one-time problems and repeat issues, then develop an individualized approach to help you (or your child) improve on these things.I believe in creating a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere for the student, but keeping focused on the assignment. I speak directly and pointedly so the student knows precisely what's wrong with the essay (and, most importantly, how to fix it). I also make sure that the student makes the corrections his or herself so they get the actual feel for writing something well. Good writing is not just about using correct grammar, it is about structuring an argument, persuading an audience and sounding eloquent; skills that will help student well into adulthood.I have an MFA in Creative Writing with my thesis being a full-length novel that was edited by a five-time Pulitzer Prize nominee. I have also been a Proofreader for ExpressScripts Medicare and a Research Assistant to a Princeton University historian, doing his fellowship with the James Madison Program.I'm a pretty avid record collector and music-lover. I spend the bulk of my day working at a local nonprofit and being disappointed by the New York Giants.

I am a normal person just like everybody else. I recently graduated with a PhD in Chemistry, and I used to be top in my classes when I was in school. I said this not to brag, by all means, but to stress that anybody can do it too -- as long as they are passionate enough to work for it. My job is to help you find that passion, help you develop confidence in the subjects, or at the very least, help you succeed in your classes and exams.Feel behind in your class? Need an A on the final exam to pass a class or to get a certain grade? I have been there! (...Believe me, more than enough times) When I was struggling with my classes, I wish someone would teach me the subject (better than the school teacher/professor!), tell me the key points to study for the exams, and show me tricks to memorize formula or equations. Throughout many years in school, I've developed several ways to master the subjects and I want to pass it on to you.I self-studied GRE for a month and got a perfect score on the quantitative part. I know how. It's easy.

I graduated from University of Iowa in 2005 with a degree in Elementary Education and Reading and in 2015 with a Master's Degree in Educational Leadership from Concordia University. I will graduate soon with a Masters in Special Education from Grand Canyon State University.I have been a teacher for over 10 years. I spent 8 years teaching in Houston, TX before moving to Miami, FL. In Texas I taught 1st grade, Kindergarten and Pre-K. I am currently a first grade Reading and Language Arts teacher for Miami Dade County Public Schools.As a teacher, I am determined to be an effective instructor so I can help my students be successful. I realize the importance and benefits of building effective partnerships with educators, parents, and community members to foster student learning. These partnerships are significant because they enrich the educational experience that I am trying to achieve in my classroom and school. I believe the teacher's instructional responsibilities consist of using a variety of teaching strategies to teach a lesson so he or she will meet the needs of diverse learners inside the classroom. I look forward to working with your child.

Hello, my name is Anu and I presently live in Naperville, IL but am originally from New Delhi, India. I am a graduate Dental Surgeon from India and started my career with teaching in a medical college and thereafter I have more than 15 years of clinical experience managing my own dental practice. I am a certified professional coder (CPC) from American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC).I love teaching and would like to help my students with coding and related fundamentals. I would like to share my strategies with my students clear the CPC exam and problems faced in everyday coding.

I am a PhD candidate at Wayne State University for Biomedical Engineering. I graduated in 2014 with a dual degree major in Biochemistry and Psychology. I have three years of undergraduate research experience working in a Computational Chemistry Lab and two years of experience working in a wet chemistry lab in industry. My research background helped deepen my understanding of core concepts taught in my biochemistry classes. On the other hand, my psychology background has trained me to be patient, and understanding of cognitive learning across all ages. I have been successful in using all of the mentioned skills to teach family and friends. I have had nothing but positive experiences tutoring and it gives me joy to foster the younger generations interests in math and the sciences. Some of my best teachers have been my hardest teachers and they have taught me to be persistent. This applies for me as a teacher and as a student as I do not leave work unfinished as a student nor am I able to leave another student without giving them a fair chance at success.

Learning doesn't have to be boring, when you understand the "why", the "how" becomes less daunting.
