Alana

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +33 Subjects

Hello there! I would love to work with your student! I was the valedictorian of my high school, earning my diploma with a 4.6328 GPA (the highest in the history of my school), and I recently graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's in Neurobiology and Behavior as I pursue God's calling for me to become a neurosurgeon. I was the captain of the Peer Tutoring Lab at my high school from 10th to 12th grade, so I have experience tutoring students from elementary to high school level. Because I understand the importance of fully grasping material and believe that students all approach content differently, I am a patient teacher willing to explain the same concept in different ways multiple times. I strive to create a warm, caring learning experience in my sessions because every student deserves a positive academic support system. I earned a score of 5 on both AP English Exams, a 1530 on the SAT, and won the National Merit Scholarship Competition in 2022. I'd love to work with you!

Maham

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +71 Subjects

I am currently an undergraduate student at Rice University pursuing a bachelor of science in biochemistry and cell biology on the pre-med track. One of my most memorable experiences in the medical field has been working as a research intern at Texas Children's Hospital and collaborating with genetic specialists to publish a research paper about a rare genetic disease. Medicine is truly one of my greatest passions, and biology has been one of my favorite subjects to tutor through the peer mentorship program at my high school. Through this program, I have also extensively tutored math (from middle school math all the way through IB Mathematics) and find myself drawn by the methodical nature of the subject. Many times, I find that students simply label math as "difficult" because the concepts are brand new and numbers seem like a foreign language. Relating math concepts to simpler everyday ones is one of the many strategies I use when tutoring math, and I have found a lot of success through it. Throughout high school, I have been very active in my school community as the Editor-in-Chief of the school newspaper, president of the Speech and Debate Team, and president and founder of the Random Acts of Kindness Club. Through these roles, I have mentored younger students in areas such as writing, research, and public speaking. Additionally, I am fluent in 4 languages (English, Urdu, Arabic, and Spanish), although my favorite one to teach is Spanish. Attending an international school has emphasized to me the importance of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance, and I believe that learning a new language is one of the best ways to reinforce these ideals. In my spare time, you can find me engrossed in arts and crafts, running my Etsy store, or volunteering my local art museum's kids' crafts classes. I also love listening to music, creating music on my violin, and singing various genres.

Miles

Geometry Tutor • +11 Subjects

I'm a Cornell University alumnus with a BA in Philosophy and Mathematics. My minor was Linguistics. Currently, I'm finishing an MSc in Logic from the University of Amsterdam. I tutor math, chemistry, logic, philosophy, English, Latin, and ACT prep. During my senior year, I was an undergraduate course assistant for Calculus I at Cornell, grading homework and conducting weekly homework study groups. I also taught courses on the philosophy of physics, mnemonics, and category theory to middle school students for a program called Splash. While living in Amsterdam, I was the TA for an introductory cognitive science course that included propositional logic and formal language theory. I took pride in giving highly detailed responses to students' questions, providing concrete examples and analogies to more familiar topics. My teaching philosophy is one of kindness, optimism, and patience. Also, I like to make my lessons as entertaining as possible, which is not difficult because I can be a goof even when it's not intentional. I can break complex topics down to their atoms. I never skip steps or assume that something is understood without confirmation. I try to see everything from your perspective. Most importantly, I work hard. I will go the extra mile to help you. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy writing stories and music. I spend about 2 hours every day exercising, and I love being outdoors!

Jiatian

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I am a 2020 graduate of Rice University and currently in my final year of Medical School. Throughout my academic and professional journey, I've found that one of the most rewarding parts of education is helping others reach their potential. I've worked with students across many stages, from high schoolers preparing for the SAT/ACT, to applicants refining personal statements for college and medical school, to medical students tackling board exams. In each of these settings, my goal remains the same: to help students not just learn material but learn how to learn. My teaching philosophy is built on the belief that success doesn't depend on being naturally gifted, it comes from consistency, structure, and a willingness to improve. I work with students to develop individualized study plans, set achievable milestones, and build momentum. I focus on helping students become confident learners who can approach problems with clarity and strategy. Especially in standardized test prep, I emphasize the importance of going into each question with a plan of attack. Whether it's reading comprehension, a science passage, or a medical vignette, I teach students how to prioritize information, filter out distractions, and apply what they know efficiently. Test-taking is a skill, and through consistent practice, students can go from feeling overwhelmed to feeling in control. I'm especially passionate about tutoring subjects that require strategic thinking, like exam prep, because it allows me to show students how much of academic success is not about memorizing facts, but about mastering the process. My ultimate goal is to help students become independent, confident thinkers who can take these skills beyond any one test or class.

Sarah

Pre-Calculus Tutor • +35 Subjects

I recently graduated from Johns Hopkins University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience. As a prospective medical student, I have and will continue to spend a lot of time in the classroom, understanding what makes teaching and learning most effective. I work to integrate my studies into my tutoring, focusing on giving meaningful examples to help drive complex topics home and provide plenty of opportunities for repetition to increase retention. I have a few years of formal tutoring experience, primarily in middle school and high school math, though my focus and interests have shifted since then. Now, my expertise lies in neuroscience, MCAT prep, and all the relevant class material included in those specialties (biology, chemistry, organic chemistry, biochemistry, physics, etc). I've spent most of my education informally tutoring those around me. Whether it was a teacher's request to help explain a concept to my peers or taking the initiative to help out my peers with challenging subjects, I've had plenty of practice working with a variety of subjects and students. I hope to help students not only learn material but understand how they best learn and study, raising their confidence and comfortability inside and outside of the classroom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tutors work with students on a comprehensive range of English skills, including essay writing, grammar, vocabulary, reading comprehension, literary analysis, and test preparation for standardized exams like the SAT and ACT. Whether you're struggling with organizing your thoughts into a coherent argument, developing a strong thesis statement, or refining your writing voice, personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to target the specific areas where you need the most support.

Writer's block often stems from unclear thinking about your topic or uncertainty about where to start. Tutors help you break through this by asking targeted questions that clarify your ideas, brainstorming strategies that generate multiple angles, and outlining techniques that give your writing a clear roadmap. With personalized guidance, you'll develop strategies for moving past the blank page and building confidence in your ability to express your ideas effectively.

Grammar is the foundation—the rules that make writing clear and correct. Style is how you use language to create voice, rhythm, and impact within those grammatical boundaries. A tutor helps you master both: ensuring your writing is grammatically sound while also developing your unique voice and understanding when to bend rules strategically for stylistic effect. This balance is what transforms adequate writing into compelling writing.

Unlike classroom instruction where feedback is limited, personalized 1-on-1 tutoring gives you detailed, individualized feedback on your actual writing. Tutors work with you through the entire writing process—from thesis development and outlining through drafting and revision—addressing your specific weak points. This personalized approach has been shown to significantly accelerate improvement because instruction is tailored to your learning style and current skill level, not a one-size-fits-all curriculum.

Yes. Many students struggle with citation formatting and understanding why proper citations matter. Tutors explain the reasoning behind different citation styles and teach you the specific rules for MLA, APA, Chicago, and other formats. They'll show you how to correctly cite sources in your essays and help you avoid plagiarism through proper attribution, skills that extend far beyond one class.

Tutors work with students at all levels—from elementary students building foundational reading and writing skills through college and graduate students preparing for standardized tests or tackling advanced literary analysis. Whether you're in middle school working on paragraph structure, high school navigating complex essays and literature, or college refining your academic writing, you can get matched with a tutor experienced at your level.

Reading comprehension and literary analysis require active engagement with text—identifying main ideas, understanding author's purpose, analyzing symbolism, and supporting interpretations with evidence. Tutors teach you strategies for close reading, help you ask better questions about what you're reading, and guide you in developing well-reasoned analyses supported by textual evidence. This structured approach transforms reading from a passive activity into an active process of deeper understanding.
