Gagik
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a graduate of Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan, where I completed my Ph.D. program in Physics. I was doing research in physics for many years, but it always comes a time when you feel you must pass your knowledge to other people, especially those of new generation. So, I started teaching and tutoring then. Originally I was teaching Conceptual, Algebra-Based and Calculus-Based Physics courses at different colleges and universities. Yet, while teaching these courses, I was also unofficially "tutoring" the students during my office hours when they were coming with their concerns and confusions. Officially, my tutoring started in January 2017, when I was offered to tutor at Science Learning Center of Stark State College in North Canton, Ohio. One thing I like in tutoring is the opportunity to work with students individually and use personal approaches to direct them to the success in their studies, rather than teaching an "average student" standing at a whiteboard or a projector screen. I am tutoring College, University and AP Physics courses, also I am able to tutor algebra/trigonometry and calculus. Rather that just giving the students the equations to solve the desired problems, I prefer to make the students work themselves, concentrating myself in directing them whenever it is necessary and explaining the subtle points of the confusing material studied. During the tests the students are left with their task alone with no help form anyone, and my goal is to make them able to deal with such tasks successfully. Hobbies: art, books, writing, reading, music

Michael
AP Statistics Tutor • +58 Subjects
I am a graduate of Yale University. I received my Bachelor of Engineering Science in Chemical Engineering. Since graduation, I earned a certification to teach English as a Second Language, and traveled to Beijing, China, where I taught at both primary and high school levels (including several math and Physics high school courses). While I tutor a variety of subjects, I have always had a particular passion for math and Chemistry. In high school, I led the Ohio ARML Math team, and earned a gold medal in the State Science Olympiad tournament for the Chemistry Lab event. I bring the experience I gained competing in and writing for a variety of academic competitions to my students when I teach or tutor them, and I love the excitement of pushing students to reach and expand their potential, as well as the fun that comes from a student seeing a question a new way and understanding it on a different level. I know that education and brain-training are necessary for not just success, but fulfillment, in life. In my spare time, I enjoy crossword puzzles, running, bouldering, trivia, and watching a variety of sports (both American and international).

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often struggle with essay organization and thesis development—knowing how to structure arguments and support claims with evidence. Literary analysis can also be challenging, as it requires students to move beyond plot summary and develop interpretations supported by textual evidence. Additionally, many students find grammar and mechanics confusing, not because the rules are hard, but because they don't understand when and why to apply them in their own writing. Writer's block and revision anxiety are also common, leaving students unsure how to approach blank pages or improve their drafts.
A tutor works through your writing process—from brainstorming and outlining through multiple revision stages—providing specific, actionable feedback on structure, clarity, and argumentation. Rather than just marking errors, they help you understand why a thesis is weak, how to strengthen topic sentences, or how to integrate quotes smoothly into your analysis. Tutors also teach revision strategies like reading work aloud, identifying patterns in your own mistakes, and learning to self-edit before submitting. This personalized feedback accelerates improvement far more than generic rubric comments, since the tutor can address your unique writing habits and challenges.
Grammar is the mechanics—subject-verb agreement, comma placement, sentence fragments—the technical rules that make writing clear and correct. Voice and style, however, are about how you express ideas: word choice, sentence rhythm, tone, and personality in your writing. A strong English Language Arts tutor teaches both, but understands they serve different purposes. Grammar creates a foundation so readers aren't distracted by errors, while voice makes your writing engaging and distinctly yours. The goal is helping you master grammar so you can break rules intentionally for effect, not accidentally out of confusion.
Tutors teach you how to move beyond summarizing a plot and instead develop interpretations grounded in textual evidence. They help you ask better questions while reading—about symbolism, character motivation, authorial intent, and how literary devices create meaning—and then show you how to construct arguments around those observations. Close reading strategies, annotation techniques, and frameworks for analyzing different genres (poetry, drama, novels, essays) become tools you can apply independently. With personalized guidance, you'll develop confidence in your interpretations and learn how to support them with specific, well-chosen evidence from the text.
Yes—tutors help you understand citation systems and apply them correctly in your essays. Beyond just formatting rules, they explain the purpose of citations (giving credit, allowing readers to find sources, building credibility) so you understand why they matter, not just how to format them. Whether you're citing a novel, a scholarly article, or a website, tutors can guide you through the process and help you integrate sources smoothly into your writing. This support is especially valuable when you're writing research papers or analytical essays that require proper documentation.
Writer's block often stems from perfectionism, unclear thinking about your topic, or not having a clear plan. A tutor helps by breaking the writing process into manageable steps—starting with brainstorming and freewriting to generate ideas without judgment, then moving to outlining to organize those ideas before you write a single sentence. They ask questions that help you clarify your argument and find your entry point into the essay. Once you have a plan and understand what you're trying to say, the actual writing becomes much less intimidating, and you can focus on expressing your ideas clearly rather than staring at a blank page.
Whether you're struggling with basic sentence structure, working to improve from B's to A's, or preparing for AP Literature, tutoring is personalized to your current level and goals. A tutor assesses where you are—identifying specific gaps in grammar, reading comprehension, or analytical thinking—and builds from there. For advanced students, tutoring might focus on developing a more sophisticated writing style, mastering complex literary analysis, or preparing for standardized tests. The key is that instruction meets you where you are, not where a textbook or class assumes you should be, so you're always working on skills that actually challenge and advance you.
Look for tutors with strong writing skills themselves, ideally demonstrated through education or professional experience in writing, literature, or English teaching. They should understand writing pedagogy—how to teach the writing process, not just correct grammar—and have experience working with students at your level. Subject expertise matters: a tutor should be able to discuss literary analysis thoughtfully, explain why certain writing choices work or don't work, and guide you through revision with specific, constructive feedback. Experience with standardized test preparation (SAT, ACT, AP exams) is valuable if those are your goals. Most importantly, they should be able to explain concepts clearly and adapt their teaching to your learning style.
