Award-Winning English Tutors in Bellevue, WA

...subjects, like jazz, or English, or my current philosophy class. Some of my favorite things to do in my free time are write and perform music, theatre, spend time with my friends and family, create things, like writing or drawing (even though I'm not very good at the latter), and of course a little TV. I truly believe that learning should be fun, and no matter the subject material, taking the time to study and...

...a standardized test can feel overwhelming. But you really can be prepared. Careful, concept-oriented preparation can help ensure that students don’t run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need to recognize as many problem types as possible. Sitting for a standardized test can be a stressful experience for many people. I try to give students a firm toolkit of techniques and tactics so that...

...having worked as an outliner for the AP books. Teaching is a personal endeavor and a necessary passion in my particular field. On one hand, science is a small community and relies on personal, one-on-one apprenticeship in order to train the next generation of researchers and explorers. On the other hand, learning science (learning anything, in fact) is best done with context in mind; if you can sufficiently teach someone, especially a layperson, the subject...

...of diverse backgrounds. I have worked with students as young as third grade up to learners that already have college degrees. My background as a 9th grade English teacher has given me the opportunity to work with students from low-income backgrounds, students with learning disabilities, English Language Learners as well as students from a range of racial/ethnic identities. I strongly believe in every students' ability to learn new and challenging concepts. I have a knack...

...Education from the University of Puget Sound. Through my undergraduate studies, I received a Bachelors in Music and a minor in English. I lived in northern California for two years teaching for AmeriCorps where I enjoyed gaining experience in both tutoring and teaching. I have experience tutoring all elementary subjects, as well as experience tutoring English (for example, essay writing) with elementary, middle school, high school, and college students. Teaching and working with kids is...

...courses in community and private colleges throughout Seattle and Los Angeles for the past twenty-five years. I have taught developmental English through standard and advanced level essay writing and literature courses. I have also taught a wide variety of ESL courses both here and in several countries abroad. Currently, I am teaching an online humanities course at the University of Phoenix where I have been employed part time for the past eight years. I have...

...potential. I have worked with a wide range of age groups from elementary aged kids all the way up through college aged adults, so that has helped me learn how to work with a wide range of people. When it comes to my academic experience, going through middle school, high school, and college I have come to understand that math is the subject that I am the best at and also enjoy the most. People...

...enjoy preparing for standardized tests, and hope to share some of that enjoyment with my students. Standardized tests are like puzzles, and predictable puzzles at that: once you learn to crack the code, you realize that they're not so scary after all! It's really important to me to find a teaching style that works for each individual student; one-size-fits-all teaching rarely works. So, I'll take the time to work with you and find an approach...

...with a double major in History and Law, Societies and Justice, and a minor in Human Rights. I am most excited about tutoring students in History, English, and Public Speaking. At UW, I focused my studies on social movements, the civil rights movement, and the Vietnam War; and I focused my extracurricular activities on Model United Nations and community development projects. I have experience both taking and assisting peers with A.P. exams, including World History,...

...feel most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I believe in a student driven approach to teaching that adapts and adjusts to different learning styles and personal traits in order to best serve my student's needs. Learning is a lifelong process and should be encouraged and nurtured across all aspects of our daily lives and personal interactions. When I'm not tutoring, you might find me on a local trail or beach with my dog. I...
