Emma

ACT Prep Tutor • +40 Subjects

I graduated this Spring from Duke University and I'm in the process of applying to Master's programs for marine biology. I've been a motivated and committed student for the past 15+ years and I'm excited to bring my knowledge, enthusiasm, and passion for learning and teaching to all of my tutoring sessions. Although I majored in Biology at Duke, I got a minor in Classical Studies - or ancient Greece and Rome - so I have a pretty diverse educational background. In addition to my studies in college, I was DUMB (a proud member of the Duke University Marching Band) and I conducted research on Hawaiian monk seals. In the future, I hope to participate in more field work with marine mammals and eventually become a professor, so I look forward to incorporating tutoring into my educational track!

Noah

Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

Hey! My name is Noah and I attend the University of Pennsylvania studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics. As you can already see from the subjects I study and tutor, I have a wide array of interests and take great satisfaction in my work.In the past, I have tutored students for the SATs (I and II), AP exams, and in a wide range of subjects. I previously ran a writing center, helping students to improve their writing skills and revising college essays. I have been a parliamentary and policy debater for seven years and recently attended the World Universities Debating Championship in Bostwana, Africa.I am friendly, communicate well, and capable of adapting my teaching style to meet every student's needs. As a student and as a tutor, I understand the difficulties both face and look to build my tutoring style around my tutee. As a young tutor, I can also relate well to students. Having taken many of the same courses and exams only a few years ago, I understand what it takes to succeed and am willing to go the extra mile to make sure my students enjoy the same success.

Matt

ACT Math Tutor • +62 Subjects

I have been lucky enough to have many great experience so far in my life. I was a Korean translator in the US Army for eight years. After serving in the Army, I went to Riverside Community College and then San Diego State, where I majored in English and minored in Asian Studies. I've since earned a teaching credential and Master's in Education from National University, and worked as a high school English and Spanish teacher for most of 2001-2013. Outside of “work,” I like to travel and to learn foreign languages. I've traveled a fair bit in Asia and Europe, and hope see South America soon. I live near San Diego State University now, and have lived in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and various places around the country. I also love old cars and reading, especially historical fiction.I can tutor English, Spanish, Social Studies, Math (up through Algebra I), and standardized test preparation. I especially like tutoring Spanish, literature, and history. I really enjoy tutoring because I get to help people and I love learning! I believe that it is easiest to learn when we can make personal connections with what we are studying, so I seek out ways to connect the learning to your experiences. I also believe that learning is more effective when it is fun and when it is done in a multi-sensory manner, so I utilize multimedia, tactile learning, and music as part of my tutoring. I'll work hard to ensure you are learning the knowledge and skills to be successful!

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +27 Subjects

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Florida State University with a Major in International Affairs, and a minor in English Literature in May 2015. Throughout my undergraduate career I volunteered tutoring children in the Tallahassee area, and taught English in Nepal and Cambodia during my summers off. I am looking forward to moving to Phnom Penh, Cambodia in the near future to continue my love of teaching. In the long term I plan to get my Masters in International Conflict Resolution and move to Washington D.C. so I can work to enact laws that protect vulnerable communities in developing countries.My favorite subjects are AP Comparative Government and Politics, and Literature, and I love to help students craft and polish essays and papers.

Blakely

College English Tutor • +27 Subjects

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree from New York University, where I double majored in Journalism and English. While pursuing these studies, I also earned a Certificate in Editing from NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. In addition to my courses, I devoted my time in New York to gaining professional experience through internships with a local newspaper and InStyle magazine's online publication. Working side by side with esteemed Editors, Photographers, and Reporters was an invaluable experience that exposed me to the excitement and challenges presented by the fast-paced field of communications.Upon graduation, I joined a boutique tutoring agency based in New York City, as the Program Coordinator, learning the ins and outs of school systems and educational enterprises. Because of my time spent with this company, I believe that the best way to approach tutoring is as a Mentor, rather than merely an Educator. I strive to support students both intellectually and emotionally, helping them realize their own ability to succeed. While I am qualified to tutor a wide range of subjects, the work I find to be most rewarding is assisting students with Writing. There is simply no greater pleasure than to see a student realize that they not only have valuable insights, but that they have the power to communicate this knowledge to the world.When not reading or working on my own personal writing projects, I enjoy biking, going for walks with my dog Benji, searching for any and all televised gymnastics competitions, and watching football on Sundays.

Erica

College English Tutor • +50 Subjects

I have more than 10 years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have taught students of all grade levels, from kindergarten through the college level. I have also tutored various subjects, including math, English, reading, technology and standardized test preparation. I believe all students are able to effectively learn new information and apply it to real life. All students learn differently and at different paces. Some students learn by doing, some by hearing and some by seeing. An effective tutor is able to use different teaching methods to reach each individual student. Also, the tutor must understand the strengths and weaknesses of each student to assess areas of improvement. When you pair the student with an effective tutor, then the student will gain more knowledge. This results in better grades and test scores, and a greater opportunity for success in the future.

Lyall

Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am a recent Brown University graduate from Dallas Texas now living in Manhattan. I graduated with honors in political science and have a good mind for standardized tests. I am currently preparing to take the LSAT, so I am in the test taking mindset myself and am excited to help students preparing for the SAT/ACT this summer/fall. In addition to SAT tutoring, I have experience coaching high school debate and am passionate about finding ways to simplify test-taking concepts so that they can become second nature to students approaching the process. I am a strong believer in the notion that standardized test taking is a learnable skill and believe I can effectively help students get into a mindset conducive to their succeeding. My favorite subjects to tutor are test prep and politics/government course work. I am excited to tutor all components of test prep but am particularly passionate about the reading/writing portions, which have always come the most naturally to me.

Richard

10th Grade Math Tutor • +54 Subjects

I am currently a PhD candidate at Northwestern University, studying microbiology and public health (my two biggest passions). I received my Bachelor of Science with high honors from Emory University in 2011, where I double-majored in Biology and Spanish. During my time at Emory, I studied abroad in Australia working on barrier reef and rainforest ecology, and studied in Spain mastering my Spanish language skills. I can read and write Spanish with high proficiency and have tutored Spanish speakers, and received highest scores on the AP Spanish exam with listening. My favorite academic subjects are math and science, and I have received perfect scores on a variety of standardized math exams, including SAT I math, SAT II math IIC subject test, BC calculus AP exam, and the GRE quantitative exam. In addition to tutoring mathematics at all levels, I enjoy tutoring grammar and mechanics, and editing essays. I received the Carlos C. Rojas Excellence in Writing Award from Emory University, and have served on the editorial board for Emory University's undergraduate research journal, as well as have authored peer-reviewed manuscripts at Northwestern University. I have lectured to undergraduate students at Northwestern University in cell biology, and have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in both a classroom setting and one-on-one. I have a very diverse background of knowledge and have worked in a variety of settings, both academic and in industry, and can meet any of your tutoring needs. I am a very patient person with excellent communication and listening skills who will take the time to get to know each of my tutees. After identifying and recognizing a tutee's own strengths and weaknesses, I can tailor a unique tutoring plan to help each student exceed his or her goals.
