Kurt
Astronomy Tutor • +25 Subjects
I have always used the philosophy that anything worth doing, is worth doing right. This is also very true in the learning process. Some content may be difficult to understand, but with effort and persistence, it can and will get done.I currently hold a professional secondary teaching certificate which allows me to teach/tutor grades 7-12 in all sciences. I really enjoy the earth sciences and physical sciences. I think that there are tons of examples that we can observe in the world around us everyday.I enjoy being outdoors, especially on the water. I love summer time and try to get outside as much as possible.
Samuel
SAT Reading Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Bard College, where I studied Written Arts and Arabic. I wrote a 70,000 word novel as my senior thesis, and I am now attempting to have it published. I love cooking, and in the past I worked as a cook in a restaurant. I also worked as manual laborer for a landscape company, but, unfortunately, that did not lead to a love of gardening. I am an avid reader of all genres, and I love movies and TV as well. I love to travel , and I love languages, although my fluency in anything but English is questionable.
Emma
Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +30 Subjects
As someone who considers themselves a lifelong learner, I am passionate about learning new concepts, and I am motivated to share this attitude with my students!I graduated from Indiana University Bloomington in 2017 with a BA in Speech-Language Pathology and a minor in Psychology, and in 2020 with an MA in Speech-Language Pathology.In the future, I plan to serve as a Speech-Language Pathologist in an urban school district with students who come from diverse ethnic backgrounds and SES.As a student pursuing Speech-Language Pathology, I have had extensive experience in teaching individuals from ages 4 to 80 by providing speech therapy and have become an expert in tailoring my teaching style to best meet the needs of my students.I have served as a graduate clinician in several elementary schools, where I have provided speech therapy (e.g. reading groups, targeting narrative retell, grammatical concepts, phonological awareness, core language, social skills, study skills, organization, etc.) in small group settings. Additionally, I have worked as a graduate teaching assistant in Indiana University's American Sign Language Department, where I co-taught American Sign Language with Deaf professors and provided office hours for undergraduate students. I have also worked alongside special education teachers, general education teachers, and paraprofessionals to design language-enriching curriculum in a summer camp setting for elementary school students with special needs, and served as a camp leader as well.Subjects I tutor include Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Algebra 2, PSAT Critical Reading, PSAT Mathematics, PSAT Writing Skills, Psychology, Elementary School English, English Grammar and Syntax, Elementary School Reading, Elementary School Writing, Elementary School Science, Essay Editing, Finite Mathematics, Science, Special Education, Study Skills and Organization. I also provide preparation for SAT and GRE exams, as well as the PRAXIS Speech-Language Pathology exam.As a tutor, my philosophy is to serve as a guide to aid students in discovering concepts for themselves. I break complicated problems into smaller, more manageable problems and always start with simpler concepts and ensure my student has mastered them before moving on to more complicated ones. I am constantly assessing how the student is understanding the lesson by asking comprehension questions and adapting my teaching style to better suit the student's needs. I also make use of technology and multimedia to maximize efficiency of my tutoring sessions and students' success.
Corrie
Algebra Tutor • +21 Subjects
I graduated from Colorado State University in 2014 with a bachelor's degree in Environmental Engineering. I am certified as an E.I. and a P.E. Currently, I am working towards a master's degree in Social Work with a focus on Latinx communities at Boston College.The bulk of my tutoring experience comes from my time in the Peace Corps. I served as a Community Environmental Conservation volunteer in Panama from 2015 to 2018. I co-taught Science, Environmental Education, and English in a multi grade one room schoolhouse with students aged 5 to 12, I also tutored middle and high school students in English after school. I have also been a youth mentor and enjoy making connections with students and encouraging them in their academic journeys. I worked for four years as an engineer at a small municipality in the water quality group where I managed the water quality database and performed process optimizations for water and wastewater. While I no longer practice engineering, I am very passionate about water and wastewater treatment and processes and am most excited to help future engineers achieve their certifications. My philosophy around engineering exams is that while it is important to know how to do the problems, it is even more important to learn how to think about problem solving.In my spare time I enjoy reading, hiking, camping, and skiing. I love backpacking and always spend at least a week of the summer on solo backpacking trips.

I have 18 years of teaching experience. I taught Special Education at both the Middle School level and Elementary level for 15 years, as well as ESL for three years in an online setting. I am certified in Special Education and Elementary Education and I have taught classes in Science, Social Studies, and English. I also have certifications in Wilson Reading and TESOL/TEFL (150 hours) in both of which I have taught classes as well. My teaching style online is very similar to my classroom teaching style in that I encourage my learners to do their best work while providing strategies to achieve success. Students have a natural ability to learn and I am happy to say they do it online as well as my students did in the classroom. Come join me!My area of specialization is teaching scaffolded reading skills and strategies as well as teaching scaffolded writing strategies. Because I have worked with many grade levels of both General Ed and Special Ed students, I am well prepared to work with a variety of student age groups and their learning styles. I am excited to be offering my teaching style online. My philosophy of teaching has always been to support every student in my classroom with patience, caring and scaffolded guidance. All of us deserve to learn in a warm, supportive atmosphere with a teacher who can provide quality instruction at the student's level. When a student feels supported, learning is a natural outcome.
Samantha
Elementary School English Tutor • +9 Subjects
I received my masters of elementary education from the University of Minnesota in May 2021. My bachelor's degree, which I received a year prior, was in elementary education as well. I also have a minor in coaching which I use to coach a high school cheerleading team. Since graduation, I have been working in an elementary school as a premier substitute. I have substitute taught in all grade levels K-5, special education, and specials (gym, art, music). While working towards my master's I worked full time in a 4th grade class. The first half of my year was in an online setting and I feel very comfortable teaching online. I believe strongly in personalized learning and building relationships. Building a mutual respect between teacher and student is one of the first goals I aim to accomplish. Building a relationship is crucial for success because knowing my students means I know what they can do and I am able to use their strengths to help them learn. In my spare time, I enjoy coaching, reading, and crafting. I also love to spend time outside with my friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tutor provides personalized feedback on your writing that goes beyond what you might get in a classroom setting. They can work with you on the specific areas where you struggle—whether that's developing a strong thesis, organizing your ideas, strengthening your argumentation, or refining your writing voice. Through one-on-one instruction, tutors help you understand the "why" behind writing conventions, not just the rules, so you can apply these skills to future assignments.
Grammar is the foundation—correct punctuation, sentence structure, and word usage make your writing clear and professional. Style, on the other hand, is about how you express your ideas: your word choice, sentence variety, tone, and voice. A strong essay needs both. Tutors help you master grammar mechanics while also developing your unique writing voice, so your essays are not just correct but engaging and persuasive.
Writer's block often happens when you're trying to write the perfect essay on the first try. Tutors teach strategies like freewriting, outlining before drafting, or breaking the essay into smaller chunks so you're not facing a blank page all at once. They can also help you move from confusion about your topic to a clear thesis statement, which gives you a roadmap for the rest of your writing. Many students find that talking through their ideas with a tutor helps clarify their thinking before they even sit down to write.
Organization is where many essays fall apart. A tutor helps you build a logical structure by identifying your main argument, organizing supporting points, and ensuring each paragraph connects back to your thesis. They teach you how to create outlines that serve as blueprints, how to write topic sentences that guide your reader, and how to use transitions that show the relationship between ideas. With practice and feedback, you'll develop the ability to organize complex arguments clearly on your own.
Yes. Citation formatting can feel overwhelming, but tutors break it down into manageable pieces. Whether you need help with MLA, APA, or Chicago style, a tutor can show you how to cite sources correctly and help you understand the purpose behind proper attribution. They also help you integrate quotes and paraphrased material smoothly into your essay so citations feel natural rather than awkward—and your arguments stay strong.
Literary analysis requires you to move beyond just understanding what happened in a text to understanding how and why the author created meaning. Tutors help you develop close reading skills—identifying literary devices, understanding themes, and analyzing character motivation. They then guide you in translating these observations into a coherent argument with specific textual evidence. This turns your analysis into a compelling essay that shows deeper engagement with the material.
Revision is where good essays become great ones. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, tutors teach you to revise in layers: first looking at big-picture issues like thesis clarity and argument strength, then moving to paragraph organization and transitions, and finally polishing grammar and style. They also help you develop self-editing skills so you can evaluate your own work critically. With this strategic approach, you'll learn to revise efficiently and see real improvement in your writing.
