Christie
Calculus Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a certified ESL teacher as well as teaching History at the local community college. Being an ESL teacher gives me the opportunity to bridge language and cultures, which is something I am passionate about. History is the perfect subject to encourage students to think critically and independently. History, whether it is personal/family or state or national or world, provides an identity and moral understanding. I find it exciting when students move beyond parroting what I say or what the readings say to draw their conclusions and back up their statements with facts. By examining the past, students learn so much more about the present, as well as develop the abilities to use logic, problem-solve, assess evidence and conflicting interpretations, and understand past examples of change. These abilities transition into working life skills as well as develop responsible public behavior no matter if they are a national or community leader, an informed voter, or an observer.
Satvik
AP Statistics Tutor • +68 Subjects
I am an incoming college sophomoore studying Aerospace Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology. I was one of the top scholars at Carmel High School in Indiana and have various experiences teaching and tutoring through leading the Carmel High School Science Olympiad team to Nationals for two years in a row. Many of my friends consistently come to me for help with various subjects because of my willingness to help and teach in a way that makes sense to everyone. My specialities are physics, chemistry, math, and economics but I am comfortable tutoring any STEM subject, the SAT, and the ACT. Some of my accomplishments include a perfect 36 ACT score, 800 on the Physics, Math Level 2, and Chemistry SAT subject tests, and a 5 on all the physics, Calculus BC, Chemistry, Macroeconomics, Computer Science, etc. AP exams. When teaching, I focus on making sure that not only do students understand different concepts, but also that students understand why and practical applications of the different concepts. As a recent high school graduate, I have a deep understanding of how high-schoolers think, what is covered in various courses now, and can connect with my students a lot more. Additionally, as an undergraduate teaching assistant at the College of Computing at Georgia Tech, I taught weekly recitation sections of 30 students and held weekly office hours. Therefore, I have lots of experience teaching and working with students.

I am happy to assist with a wide variety of subjects from ACT prep to general homework assistance for any age student. My experiences with children outside the classroom as a swim coach and assistant scoutmaster has reinforced my belief that teaching requires positivity, patience, and enthusiasm to achieve success.
Lauren
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am a graduate of Indiana University where I received a Bachelor of Science in Biology with a Mathematics minor. Currently, I am pursuing a Master's degree in Human Genetics in hopes of soon becoming a Genetic Counselor. Previously, I have held positions as a Mathematics tutor and Biology Undergraduate Teaching Assistant while at Indiana University. I personally love tutoring and helping students succeed in the way previous role models, professors, and students have helped me in the past. I believe each student learns differently, and it's incredibly important to determine how each particular student learns and what strategies work well for each individual in order to allow them to succeed. I also thoroughly enjoy helping students find a passion and enjoyment for STEM fields as I have. In my free time, I love traveling, acting in community theatre productions, and crafting. Hobbies: books, traveling, music, art, travel, reading, writing

Hobbies: books, hiking, reading, music, writing, art
Shivram
Calculus Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am from Munster, IN, and I am currently pursuing my Bachelor of Science in Neuroscience at Duke University. During my free time, I enjoy playing basketball, watching basketball, and reading about basketball. You can also catch me trying to stay musically inclined, solving a Rubik's Cube, or playing board games. I am passionate about service in various forms, and I wish to pursue a career in medicine in the future. Throughout my academic years, I have engaged myself in varying instructional opportunities, from teaching younger students how to play the harmonium to guiding my peers through various academic subjects. My own academic challenges motivate me to be the most effective tutor I can be and help me guide my students through potential pitfalls along their academic journeys. I strive to create an environment where healthy interaction and communication are fostered, as I believe these are the crucial to the student experience. I tutor AP Psychology, MCAT Physical Sciences, MCAT Biological Sciences, and MCAT Social and Behavioral Sciences. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require assistance with any of these subjects.
Emma
Calculus Tutor • +50 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of the University of Notre Dame, IN, where I earned my doctoral degree in contemporary American poetry. Before that I earned my masters in English at Wake Forest University, NC. I am passionate about poetry, writing, and the English language, and dedicated to helping others understand and achieve competence in the writing process. I have taught college-level composition courses, as well as a poetry course, and have tutored at Wake Forest University's writing center for two years, and therefore have experience in coaching students at different skill levels through many stages of the writing process, including formulating arguments, brainstorming ideas, handling grammatical issues, finding sources for research, and revising essays. I continue to enjoy meeting students where they are and walking with them through the learning process. We are all students of language; I find a deep satisfaction in enabling others to become great students.
Ben
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +78 Subjects
I am a high school history teacher who has also worked as a teaching assistant at one of the country's top 10 colleges. I've taught ACT/SAT prep for about 4 years to students at all ends of the academic spectrum: from those working with learning disabilities/accommodations & struggling with timing to those trying to achieve perfect scores. Although I always create individualized plans, I focus on teaching every student the most effective, step-by-step way to approach each question on each section of the test. Beyond test prep, I've taught/tutored just about every academic subject through the undergraduate level. Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading about history, going to church, coaching sports (track & tennis), and spending time with my family. I really enjoy getting to know each student I teach as we work toward our goals. Hobbies: sports, books, reading, music, writing, art
