Hallie

AP French Language and Culture Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am a PhD candidate in Anthropology, and I love the exhilarating work of helping my students grasp difficult concepts. Whether it's planning how best to engage them, or working one-on-one with a student until they have that breakthrough and connect the dots between theory and real life, I thrive on the dynamic process of making knowledge not only accessible but also thrilling and possibly life-changing.I have over ten years of experience as an instructor, tutor, writer, and editor, in many different subjects, contexts, and even countries. I have taught ESL to elementary school students in Korea and sociolinguistics (in French) to Master's students in Madagascar. I was awarded two of the most prestigious graduate research fellowships in Anthropology for my dissertation research, and have received numerous awards for my academic work as well as my fiction writing and poetry.Standardized tests are sources of anxiety for many students, but I welcome the challenge of turning something so daunting into something manageable that my students can tackle with relative ease and absolute confidence.

Justin

College English Tutor • +27 Subjects

Education is the foundation of success. Everyone can be a great student provided they get the support they need. This means that every single person has the capability to be successful. I do not believe that anybody is "bad at math", some people simply learn in different ways or have not been given the chance to fully engage the subject to understand completely.I believe in teaching holistically, teaching understanding; I believe it is most important to understand the material on your own. Someone can tell you how to answer a problem, but the student will only progress when they can reach the solution on their own. I enjoy patiently helping a student discover their own path to the answer. With someone to help out if the student deviates from the right direction, I believe each and every student can achieve their learning goals.Since graduating from Connecticut College in 2010, I have worked as a teacher to students of all ages: from 3 on up. I have taught in the US, in China, in classrooms, at summer camps, in the outdoors, all over. I have a liberal arts background. I graduated with a focus on Chinese language, but studied history, philosophy, math, science, art, music, and literature among other subjects.I look forward to helping you find the success you know you can achieve.

I attended Reed College and received my BA in Mathematics, 2014.While completing my undergraduate degree, I have been tutoring Math for the last two years and preparing for graduate school to earn my Teaching degree.My favorite subject is Multivariable Calculus because it led me to realize that I wanted to help other people learn Math.I have taken college courses such as Number Theory, Analysis, Multivariable Calculus, Quantum Algorithms, Linear Algebra, Abstract Algebra, Geometry, Real Analysis, Complex Analysis, and completed a senior thesis on Differentiation Over Quotient Spaces.I am enthusiastic about applying Math to real life and finding new ways to make Math more approachable.

Nathan

Biology Tutor • +10 Subjects

I received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Western Washington University in 2013, and then spent 18 months completing the doctoral course work at Boston College for synthetic chemistry. I've tutored general and organic chemistry privately at Western Washington university, and I've taught discussion sections of general and organic chemistry at Boston College. I'm currently pursuing a Masters in Teaching.My strength as a tutor is that I'm not so far removed from playing the role a student myself, and I remember the struggle of encountering tough material for the very first time. I like to keep that perspective in mind when I meet with students; my tutoring style is focused on building up from strong foundational principles, rather than drilling material into one ear so it can spill out the other. I'm striving to reach that "aha" moment, when the material becomes intuitive. I love to approach science problems from multiple angles with students, to increase comprehension and confidence in the material rapidly.I've been a part of two very strong organic chemistry research teams, for a total of about 3 years. I was fortunate to publish the research that I had accomplished while at Western Washington University. (More details about my research are available on my resume/curriculum vitae.)Outside of academia, my passions are: Lindy Hop (a kind of jazz dance), cooking meals with/for loved ones, reading (novels, short stories, poetry...), and a very wide variety of music.

Yuni

Biology Tutor • +8 Subjects

I graduated with a degree in an interdisciplinary study called Human, Biology, Health and Society with a minor in music. I love exploring and learning about the world through various perspectives and disciplines. I also have a life-long interest in the arts, particularly music and literature. Coming from a diverse background of education and environmental exposure, I understand the challenges of processing new information and approaches to intake and digest them. My emphasis in teaching lies in listening to my students and self-directed application. I am excited to discover how materials in science can help students to understand the world and themselves.
