It is magical to me to see a student "get it" - to make that connection towards which they have been working so hard, to feel the satisfaction of achieving their goals. To be part of that process is an honor and a privilege that I never take for granted.

I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan with a B.S. in Biomolecular Science. I am currently a candidate for a Master's in Oral Health Sciences. While I tutor in many different subjects, my favorites are math, science, and English. I want students to love what they are learning. School is supposed to be fun and challenging. I want kids to see that while some subjects might be trickier than others, anything is possible if you just put your mind to it.

Shannon

AP Statistics Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of North Texas with a bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have completed Master's coursework and research in the field of Educational Psychology, with a focus in Gifted Studies. I tutor many subjects, but I really enjoy teaching various math courses, Advanced Placement, History, and Language Arts. I have worked with students of all ages, from Pre-K to adults returning to education. I have a great deal of experience writing curriculum and tutoring test prep for SAT, ACT, ISEE, STAAR, and AP tests. Additionally, I have a strong passion for working with students who need support in applying for college (applications, essays, etc.). After studying abroad and 6 years of study, I have a strong interest in the French language and culture that allows me to provide tutoring for students taking French courses. In my experience as a tutor since 2013, I have cultivated a variety of tutoring strategies and methods to adapt to each student's individual needs. I feel that the key to helping a student master a subject is to start small, set goals, and find a method of learning that works best for them. In addition to my role as a tutor, I am also a substitute teacher and volunteer as a mentor with underprivileged middle and high schools. The majority of my free time is spent with my family. Often we enjoy outdoor activities, concerts and traveling.

Phoebe

8th Grade math Tutor • +43 Subjects

As a student of life, education, both formal and informal, energizes me. On the formal front, I have my AA in Psychology, my BA in Criminology, and my MS in E-Commerce, and I have an equally diverse post-studies career history. My love of education has taken me to Southern California where I fed my love of law and learned about film. Next, I visited rural Florida with a stint at a Community Theatre. I've even spent a fair amount of time in the Hospitality Industry in Las Vegas, which, unexpectedly, introduced me to the construction industry. Through all of this, I have been a professional tutor for profit and pro bono. I believe education should be available to everyone regardless of age, sex, or socio-economic status, and I utilize learning identification to impart wisdom in the most effective way possible for each student's needs. I love that magical moment when the student "gets it." With experience in a broad range of subjects, mathematics is the most enjoyable for me, as well as LSAT Logic Games I'm the weirdo doing LSAT games at the tea house. My spare time finds me in nature for hikes and trail runs, and I can regularly be found on an obstacle course (Spartan, Tough Mudder, SISU, etc.) or doing an extreme endurance events either racing or supporting friends. Life is to be learned and lived!

Anudeep

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +66 Subjects

I'm a freshman at Rutgers University studying Aerospace Engineering with a minor in Computer Science. I've always been curious about how the world works, which led me to explore everything from physics and calculus to machine learning and space research. I'm especially interested in how AI can solve real problems in spacelike predicting satellite orbits or understanding Earth's upper atmosphere. Outside of the classroom, I've tutored students from grades 6 to 12 in math and physics. I love breaking down tricky concepts and helping students find that "aha" moment. My favorite subject to tutor is Algebra 2it's where math starts getting deeper and connects to the real world, especially physics and engineering. I focus on making my sessions clear, supportive, and engaging. Whether a student needs help building confidence or mastering complex topics, I aim to make learning feel less stressful and more exciting.

I am a current Master's in Public Health student at the University of South Florida. I graduated from the University of Florida with a Bachelor's in Biology and minor in public health. I have previous experience tutoring middle school reading and math.

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.
