Award-Winning Graduate Test Prep Tutors in Washington

...of the University of Washington. At UW, I was a Pre-Med student, so I am very familiar with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other sciences. I also have spent the past few summers tutoring students in Reading and Writing and am able to help with everything from college essays and writing assignments to skills for standardized tests. I'm happy to work with a range of ages and will do my best to help make sessions as...

...English prep, reading comprehension, writing, essay construction and editing, college essays, project creation, and presentations. I am comfortable working with all age groups. A little bit about me: I am a recent graduate from Syracuse University living in the Miami area. I dual-majored in psychology and public relations and graduated with a 3.8 GPA. My coursework provided me with extensive experiences in writing, reading, and public speaking. In high school, I was always in upper-level...

...service program called City Year. As a Corps Member, I was able to tutor and mentor students in an under resourced community. I tutored students in mathematics in individual and group sessions. I also served in the classroom with a Teach for America teacher, where we partnered together to help students succeed in Algebra 1. In addition to tutoring students in the classroom, I tutored students in higher level mathematics after school. I even tutored...

...studying methods to begin mastery of any subject area. I tutor SAT/GRE test prep, as well as writing in general, biology, and French. However, my favorite subject to teach is ecology because I am passionate about environmental/ecosystem stability and would ultimately love to work in biodiversity conservation. Appropriately, I enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, and camping. I also practice wushu--a Chinese performing martial art that is great in building core strength. Thank you...

...test preparation and writing. I believe that great test takers are made, not born. Anyone can improve your SAT or LSAT score with the right practice and guidance. I like to use a teaching method similar to how I would teach a sport by simplifying the concepts and strategies necessary into manageable terms, and then practicing specific skills in need of improvement. I believe great academic writing is all about clarity and structure, and I...

...It is understanding that standardized tests are logic games, that they test nothing outside what you have already learned in school. The rub comes from the presentation, that standardized tests are designed as puzzles. There are rules and operating procedures to be followed, and if those rules and operating procedures are followed, you can improve your scores. This all boils down down to what the student wants from the test and the following school experience....

...to European History. I've also got quite a bag of tricks when it comes to study tips, organization, and balancing studying with life. I got my start in tutoring during my undergraduate studies at DU. I was a camp counselor with a summer camp for high schoolers. The camp focused on Chemistry and Math. Afterwards, I taught PCAT review classes. My personal tutoring style involves pieces of the Socratic method; I use questions and the...

...approach to tutoring thus focuses less on memorizing formulas and more on understanding why these work and how you can arrive at them yourself. I have always enjoyed being able to help other people and my somewhat unique outlook on mathematics, coupled with my experienced mathematics background, have enabled me to assist many different people in the past. I have experience in teaching people of different ages and different needs, and I understand how to...

...student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at...

...from the university, I worked as an English instructor at the University's Center for English as a Second Language (CESL), where for three years I taught academic reading and writing, communication skills, and standardized exam preparation. I enjoy tutoring, and have experience giving private instruction in English reading, writing, and speaking, and preparation for the following standardized exams: SAT, ACT, GRE, TOEFL and IELTS. It's been my pleasure to work with students from a variety...
