Award-Winning English Tutors in Bellevue, WA

...Spain and tutored for many years. I'm a distance lecturer in translation English to Spanish for a British University too. I moved to the US in June 2014 to earn a MA in Linguistics with a Language Teaching Specialization from the University of Oregon in Eugene. After graduation I started working at South Seattle College, where I currently teach ESL and Spanish. I can tutor in Spanish, English as a second language, and a regional...

...work published in magazines and literary anthologies. Besides being passionate about writing, I also believe that each one of us has a unique set of gifts and talents that can be fully developed with just a bit of guidance. I know that we all learn differently and I use a strength based approach in order to support, challenge, teach and reach outcomes. I am experienced in building lessons based on the individual needs and learning...

...I love exploring and analyzing languages and the written word. (In fact, much of the music I have written has been inspired by literary or linguistic concepts.) I have taught courses in music theory, history, and composition at the University of Washington, and I have tutored students of all ages in school subjects ranging from biology to social studies. I especially like working through math and standardized test questions since I enjoy puzzles and problem...

...development projects. I have experience both taking and assisting peers with A.P. exams, including World History, U.S. History, U.S. Government, Comparative Government, English Language and English Literature. I believe that students learn best when a seemingly complex subject is broken down into simple and logical pieces, and the pieces are made relatable and relevant to students. I also believe that for students struggling with subjects like History and English, test-taking skills are just as important...

...incredibly important to me for my entire life. I have loved school ever since I started it, and I have worked to be successful in my education the whole time. My effort has paid off - I now attend the university I have worked towards, studying something I love. Despite excelling in and enjoying academics, I have chosen an artistic field of study and, eventually, career. This hasn't changed my passion for education, nor has...

...I earned a B.A. in History, Comparative Literature, and European Studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While in college, I spent a year at the University of Seville in Spain. As a tutor and teacher, my first goal is to tap into my students' curiosity and show them how what they are studying gives them access to another world besides their own. I love to see students begin to use writing as a way to...

...school teacher here in Seattle. I have been teaching for almost two years, and have been working with elementary aged children for over eight years. As an elementary school teacher I know the skills and tools children need to be successful. I have experience working with every grade level, as well as students who are learning English and students receiving special education services. Lastly, I truly believe in teaching children skills they need to not...

...the most rigorous of graduate school exams, I further strengthened my abilities in verbal exams, critical reading, and writing at an advanced level. I spend my free time playing soccer, volunteering at the Downtown Emergency Service Center (DESC) homeless shelter, playing the piano, hanging with friends and much more. I love working with people from all walks of life and have also spent time tutoring a diverse range of people at Seattle Education Access in...

...have immersed myself in the region's splendid diversity. This work as an educator has given me experience developing age-appropriate lessons in a variety of areas, including Reading, Writing, Science, and Math. My cultural agility is the result of interactions with students of various nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although I would be delighted to tutor many subjects, my passion is English. From an early age, I have been fascinated with words and the way we use...

...workbooks, textbooks, and media. I recently moved from NYC as I worked in the NYC Deptartment of Education as an English teacher and Social Studies teacher. The students I have worked with in the past are Gifted and Talented, Dyslexic, Dysgraphic, Anti-Authoritative, ADD/HD, Epileptic, Autistic, English Language Learners, and those with specialized IEPs. I'm also a writer and am working on my second novel as I try to perfect my first. I also edit for...

...since I was a kid and watched The Magic School Bus and the Bill Nye show. I majored in Neuroscience and Behavior in college, so I learned a lot about Biology and Psychology, and I plan on getting a Master's in Bioengineering. I spent two years serving with the Peace Corps in Peru, where I learned to speak Spanish, build stoves out of adobe, and a lot about life in rural communities. In my spare...

...slowly in intermediate college math courses, but gradually the subject matter was known with practice, which eventually enabled me to appreciate math as an art. I see this work as a mutual advantage and I intend to pursue graduate studies by fall at the University of Washington while hoping to learn and teach along the way. My specialty areas are calculus, pre-calculus, trigonometry, geometry, and algebra. Advanced courses beyond calculus III may require preparation.

...I am a recent graduate with a Masters in Human Resource Management from the University of Kent. I also hold a Masters of Arts in International Relations and a Bachelors of Arts in American Ethnic Studies and Interdisciplinary Visual Arts. I love being able to help people through fun and innovative methods of learning and craft my sessions to accommodate my students. When I am not teaching, I enjoy cooking, baking, decorating/diy, art, local events,...

...Diabetes in a research laboratory in Seattle, Washington, and I plan to use this experience to pursue a Ph.D. in cognitive neuroscience (the study of how we form and access memories). My interest in neuroscience fuels my philosophy of education. I think all students have a profound capacity to learn and my role as an educator is to help the student unlock their potential. In my time as a teacher and even during my own...

...enjoyable for a wide range of students. At all levels, I encourage both the hesitant and eager students to succeed. I tailor lesson plans to different learning styles and abilities. With the extra attention I give, my students consistently tell me they have learned more than they ever thought possible for themselves. Many of my students once nervous about math or science went on to major in these subjects in college with great success. They...

...I love math, and love helping others with math even more! I'm very good with all levels of students, from elementary school up to college and beyond. I am very patient and understanding by nature, and have a knack for getting to the root of any problem in order to help students understand it themselves. I am not interested in simply just giving you the correct answer. My ultimate goal is to help you develop...

I have been teaching ESL for three years in Nevada and Korea. I would love to help your students reach their their full potential in any language. I also have experience with reading and writing having volunteered in New York classrooms and helping friends with their troubles.

...succeed in those areas. It is fun to share those approaches with students and watch the AHA! moments unfold. Why do I teach? Successful learning requires awareness of HOW you think: how you create and organize your own perception. I am fascinated with this meta-thinking, this thinking ABOUT how you think, and I take great joy in helping others gain deeper insight into their own thinking patterns. I graduated from Oberlin College with a degree...

...The technological 'tools' available today, better than anything from our past, deserve study and use. That's why much of my career has been computer technical support. I believe we all need computer help to get our work done, whatever that might be. Beyond that, I believe in a liberal education. The U.W.'s approach made all students, in all majors, take a wide variety of courses. Exactly as intended, this liberal education proved how knowledge in...

...with hundreds of students from every conceivable background to ensure that their educational experience is the best it can be. I also worked closely with students to improve their writing in both form and content. I worked with a summer bridge program that prepares high school juniors and seniors for their transition to college. I also worked as a special assignment mentor to provide scholastic support for middle school students. I am extremely passionate about...
