Jeanine

Algebra Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering with a primary focus in Environmental and Structural Engineering. Upon graduation, I moved to Tanzania to pursue a Fulbright Research Grant where I was able to work with community members to help establish a water distribution system for a rural village. After returning, I completed my Masters level coursework at the University of California, Davis in Civil and Environmental Engineering. I have had a variety of tutoring experiences over the course of my studies, ranging from one-on-one tutoring sessions, to group settings through a classroom internship. I am passionate about a lot of subjects including mathematics, physics, and chemistry. I also love literature and writing and can confidently help students practice critical reading and writing skills. In my spare time I enjoy biking, hiking, climbing, exploring, reading, and going to the beach!

Emily

Algebra Tutor • +34 Subjects

I am a current sophomore at Stanford University and am working towards a degree in Mathematical and Computational Science. I am also a Lead Math Tutor at Stanford's Center for Teaching and Learning, where I tutor Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Single and Multi-variable Calculus. When I was in high school, I also tutored Elementary, Middle, and High School students at a local library in various subjects with an emphasis on Math and English.Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to tutor is math. To many people, math is just a jumble of numbers and an exercise of memorization. I was fortunate enough to be able to view math as a puzzle a series of steps that solves a mystery. As I have continued my studies in math, I have come to believe it is essential as it helps to develop problem solving skills as well as fundamental principles of logic. These skills have helped me through various subjects like statistics and general chemistry.I like to tutor through concrete examples, and my ultimate goal is to help students solve challenging problems on their own.In my spare time, I like to knit and play tennis. I am currently trying to learn how to play the ukulele.

Rosie

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +45 Subjects

I recently graduated from University of Vermont with a double B.A. in Environmental Studies and Studio Art. I've been working with young people for over seven years in lots of different settings, but after starting college I realized how much I loved teaching. Most recently, I've been working with students in outdoor education and in other alternative learning settings, and am considering becoming a classroom teacher. My years of education experience have helped me develop some strategies for students who struggle in school and with tests.My favorite subjects to tutor are science, history, and English. I also work in general homework help, test prep, and organization skills. I like to tutor history and English especially, because being able to have a conversation about a subject really helps me learn. When I begin working with a student, I like to start out by getting to know them and their interests, and trying to pinpoint exactly where they are having trouble in a subject. By finding these leverage points, I can help them develop good habits and new strategies to create success in their schoolwork. I believe that everyone can be successful in school, but it's a matter of finding a custom plan for each individual. In my years of working with students, I know that everyone is different and what works for one student may not work for another. I aim to help my students develop the self-sufficiency, passion, and skills to help them accomplish their goals in school.When I'm not working with students, I love to be outside--hiking, biking, swimming, and kayaking are some of my favorite pastimes!

Alex

Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects

I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at UC Davis, and I am currently a Master's student at California State San Marcos studying Experimental Psychology. My research involves studying peptide influences on maternal behavior in mice, specifically peptides related to stress and alertness. I have a passion for statistics and research methods. My goals for the future involves getting a Ph. D. in behavioral neuroscience and eventually working as a researcher and/or college professor. Through the Master's program, I have had much experience working with undergraduate students helping them with statistical procedures and planning research proposals. I am also currently teaching a section of an Introductory Psychology class at CSU San Marcos. My favorite areas in which to tutor would hands down be statistics and research methods. As a tutor, I value the interaction with students, as I love to be a mentor and provide guidance in both academics and life management strategies. I have many other interests outside of academia, including rock climbing, juggling (I can juggle 7 balls), playing guitar and piano, snowboarding, riding my road bike, going on hikes, and playing board games.

Benjamin

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

Currently, I'm working on a Master's program in Library and Information Science, but I am also a recent graduate of UC Davis where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with an emphasis on Medieval and Early Modern European History. I love learning and teaching history of all kinds, but I am also available to tutor many other subjects from Math and English to SAT and GRE preparation. While I do not have much formal experience in tutoring, I was a peer tutor throughout high school. Also, as the oldest sibling, it fell to me to help my younger brother and sister through the difficult times in their studies, so I have plenty of experience helping students find the right way to learn the skills and information they need for school. As you may have guessed from my interest in libraries, I love reading. Mostly I read fiction, but also some non-fiction when I find a particular book that sparks my interest. I'm also exploring origami and meditation as a way to encourage relaxation and better health.

Carter

AP Computer Science A Tutor • +8 Subjects

Throughout my life I've always loved to learn. Whether it be a new technology that just came out or something to further expand my knowledge of the world-- I've dived head-first into it. I am passionate about Computer Science and the related fields, and love to spread my knowledge to others. I am currently attending San Jose State University to achieve my degree in Software Engineering with a focus on graphics programming and Machine Learning/AI. What I believe makes me such a great tutor in Computer Science areas is that I taught myself programming six years ago, so I understand all the struggles that someone who is trying to learn programming are going through. In my free time I'm often playing (or creating) video games, or researching the latest technology to see if I can work it into my life and experiment with it.

Wilfredo

10th Grade Tutor • +46 Subjects

I graduated from Biola University with a B.A. in philosophy and a minor in Biblical studies. I taught high school students practical life lessons and theology at a local church for a year and am now looking to hone my critical thinking and communications skills by tutoring while I apply for graduate school.I tutor math and English, but between the two I favor English. It teaches us how to communicate ideas and, oftentimes, how to assess the quality of these ideastwo of the most crucial and universal skills we need in life.My goal is to help students get the most out of their education. This means more than just earning good grades. It means learning to enjoy school, learning how to learn, and learning how to think for themselves. It is an ambitious goal, but it is one for which any progress is cause for celebration. So when appropriate, I take my time to show students not just how to solve a problem but why it is important to solve and how it relates to everyday life.During my free time I like to work on cars. I own a Mazda Miata and a 350 hp STI-swapped Subaru Impreza. I also like to stay active. I go rock climbing and bouldering at indoor gyms and, occasionally, outdoors too. I also lift weights and play basketball to stay in shape.
