...to teaching a full year of 5th grade, I have done it all. I also spend time throughout the school year helping tutor fellow college students in different areas of their schoolwork.

...specialize in test preparation strategies for the ACTs, MCATs and APs, but am equally qualified to tutor in numerous biology related topics in addition to Mandarin Chinese.

Knowing that every student studies in different ways, I am flexible and also take the time to...

I am enthusiastic about learning and a nerd for numbers and creative writing! I know what its like to be a student managing many subjects at once in addition to test prep and I am excited to help make that process easier for current students.

...people one on one rather than in a classroom. I have three children of my own ages 3, 5, and 7. I live in Boston. I love to laugh and play while learning.

When I am not teaching I love to ride roller coasters, hike with my kids,...

I look forward to working with you to achieve your potential and find the success you've been looking for in your academic pursuits!... Academic success is not determined by innate...

...of teaching experience. I am very passionate about languages and history, but also about teaching in general; after working as a French Teacher's Assistant at Allegheny, volunteering in elementary school, and teaching university-level English in France, I have discovered how much I love helping others learn. As a liberal arts college graduate (my classes at Allegheny consisted of around 15 students each) I have firsthand experience getting individual, customized instruction directly from a teacher, so...

...looking forward to helping students with test prep and gaining a deeper understanding of their subject matter. As an American History major I'm especially interested in history, government, literature and the arts. Reading and grammar are my specialities!

I have worked with students of all ages and levels, including special needs students with...

...I tutor PSAT and SAT prep and writing through high school, as well as math and reading for elementary or middle school students. I have spent time working with younger students, including teaching English to first and seventh graders in Peru. My favorite subject to tutor is writing. I believe in allowing students to work through things and discuss them with me along the way rather than simply giving them the answers. In my free...

...I also have an Associates in Arts degree from Houston Community College, which I obtained simultaneously with my high school diploma; I attended a dual-credit high school. I tutor anything related to English, Writing, Neuroscience, and Social Studies. I absolutely love tutoring writing, because I have always loved being able to express myself through words and the power I have over my diction and the power behind phrasing a simple sentence. I believe that every...

I have noticed life to be an amazingly beautiful thing that must...

I am currently working simultaneously on my English bachelor's degree and a master's in Linguistics with a focus on Japanese language. While studying at the Nagasaki University of Foreign Studies, I took a course on teaching foreign languages to non-native speakers. There, I discovered my interest in teaching....

...students make the most progress they can. I provide interactive, engaging and fun lessons for your students to ensure that they are getting the best tutoring they can get! My communication with you is just as important as with your student as we are a team in the success of you student. My students make many levels of progress each year in my classroom in both math and ELA. I am currently studying Special Education...

...answers are wrong. I have been a tutor for the ACT for 4 years and have seen immense improvements in each student I work with. Additionally, I recently wrapped up my own MCAT journey so everything that I learned to guide me through the process is fresh in my mind! I also am passionate about STEM subjects and love coaching students in their science and math courses, specifically in Chemistry, Calculus, Algebra, Geometry, and Physics....

...study, and work to incorporate a student's strengths into some of the areas they are currently working on to improve. By looking at all the skills a student has I believe we can find a way towards achieving the goals of learning. I think that planning is a very important skill as well and I like to work with all of my students with planning. This planning can be used for studying, for homework, for...

I'm a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University. I received my B.S. in Biological Sciences with a minor in Biomedical Engineering. Personally, I like tutoring STEM subjects such as math, biology, and chemistry the most. I love seeing my students gain confidence in their subject areas and grow over time. Outside of academia, I enjoy cooking, exercising, reading, and spending time with my dog.

In my free time, I love to explore the city, go to museums, national parks, and just adventure with my friends. But sometimes I like those quiet days reading about astrophysics in my free time! When I interact with my students, they're more than just my students. I like to get to know you and what...

...academic year. It couldn't be neglected or passed on like any other subject. I may say that excelling in passing the Arabic exam was a must to pass. I received my Bachelor of Arts in 1981, and since then I have been working as an English teacher as a second language to IB level and other grades, as well as an Arabic teacher for non-Arab students. Since graduation, I have traveled to the United Arab...

...enhanced my leadership and mathematical skills. Math has always been my strongest subject, as shown through my math testing scores, and advanced placement upon entering college. Similarly, my enriched abilities in organization and communication would prove extremely useful for this position. As I worked my way up from a retail employee to the manager and webstore manager of a retail store, I gained leadership skills, technological skills, as well as business decision making and managing...

...struggle with certain reading and writing skills. I have students who were born in raised in the area, some who have been here for only a few short years, and some who just came to the US from another country. With all this, I believe everyone should have the opportunity to learn and grow, and I believe everyone is smart and skilled in their own way. There are different ways to learn, and one way...
