...order to be successful. After earning double Bachelors Degrees in Political Science and History from the University of Central Florida, I joined the Peace Corps. For two years I taught English and Social Studies in rural Liberia. Upon completion of my Peace Corps service I continued teaching High School Social Studies in Florida. Following that, I pursued a Masters in International Educational Development from Teachers College, Columbia University. My graduate degree focused on educational programming,...

I have worked both part-time and full-time for independent schools for 8 years, and now, I am excited to develop my abilities on this platform! "Creative" and "knowledgeable" are adjectives used to describe me, and they are my defining strengths as a teacher. Over time, I have also honed the focus and organization that now define me as an educator. This effort made me driven, hardworking, and nurtured a sincere empathy for my students.

...both learning and teaching, and I'm a very social person. I am eager to share my experiences of success (and failure) to help my students do well in their own experiences. I love to travel and experience new things, and I love to integrate my experiences into my learning and my life. I have some tutoring experience, having worked with two fourth-grade aged children on their English skills, including grammar, spelling, essay writing, and other...

Hi, my name is Nicole! I'm a musician who LOVES cats! I can't wait to meet you and help you on your journey!

...clear and concise essays, or building stronger study habits and skills. I believe that rather than telling students exactly what to think or what to write, a tutor's primary role should be to fill in gaps of knowledge, to provide resources, and to encourage students to think about how new information relates to broader concepts they already know. I truly value and appreciate the experience of tutoring because it helps me become better equipped to...

As a secondary teacher in English, it is my goal to continue to use my passion as a tutor. I have developed a number of key skills and qualities which I will use to provide support for the student. I look forward to use my experience to help my student excel in their area of need.

...about tutoring. I have tutored first graders and college students, one-on-one or in groups ranging from two to twenty students, from basic fractions to multivariable calculus, and in English and in Spanish. Through all this range of tutoring experiences I am still enthusiastic about helping people learn. My degrees taught me to love math and Spanish, and I also enjoy teaching English and editing writing. My tutoring philosophy is to personalize my lessons and focus...

...a minor in Biology. I plan to pursue a dual JD/MPH degree, with the goal of specializing in Health Law. I have vast experience in numerous subjects, including English, Math, Science, and Spanish. My favorite subject to tutor in is Math because it is so rewarding to help others understand tricky concepts and be able to apply those concepts in higher-level classes. In my free time, I enjoy playing field hockey, reading, and spending time...

...years. I have seen the young people I tutor soar to new heights with a little bit of extra help that builds confidence and independence. Also, I have also been tutored myself so I know how it feels to sit on the other side of the desk! Overall, my approach is based on dialogue and respect, lots of humor and out-of-the-box creativity (ask me about the most grammatical pop song ever written), and genuine engagement...

With my years of experience tutoring a variety of subjects, I have learned that the best approach to working with students is to prioritize their wants and desires for their work. I am especially skilled in writing across all disciplines, and would be excited to help bring your goals and intentions to life on the page!

...PhD in Physician Assistant. So there is a deliberate commitment to a growth mindset in our family. Outside of fulltime work and part-time tutoring, I calm my senses by walking, dancing, listening to music, singing out load (Karaoke), bike riding, and the occasional binge watching on Netflix (with my family). Housecleaning does wonders for clearing my thoughts and processing feelings (especially when my children participate in completing their assigned chores). I enjoy Home & Garden...

I have been teaching biology and microbiology at CCBC and Stevenson for a year and a half. I particularly enjoy teaching one-on-one. I am patient and kind and I experience identifying what a person needs (dedication, repetition, or discussion/understanding) to learn different concepts.

...tutored online during my free time throughout undergrad. I am proficient in a broad range of subjects, but my favorites to help other students with are English and Math. I always enjoy helping young students with math because it is great to see their excitement when they finally understand a problem and get the right answer on their own. I love getting the chance to boost their confidence and make them more comfortable with their...

...things on their own. For me, teaching is about learning how to teach each child as a whole and individually. Every child learns differently and I believe that it is my job to figure out how they learn right from the beginning and then work with them to make them better. No two children learn the same so I have learned to figure out how each child works in a class. One of my biggest...

...my parents and a library card that opened my eyes to a wealth of information. It's my goal to help others enjoy learning as much as I have! I first started tutoring in high school, and I've enjoyed helping students from kindergarten age through college work through challenging concepts to gain a better understanding of the material. I'm a strong believer that "hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard". Not all subjects come...

...and success. I expanded this passion out to the community, offering private sessions for students and parents navigating the college admissions process. Drawing on my background in learning and motivational psychology, as well as my experiences and training as an AVID GDL, I specialize in an adaptable, mentoring instruction style, especially effective for students facing unusual circumstances or special needs. While I tutor everything from academic prep through scholarship applications, I find the most satisfaction...

...something I want to do for at least a portion of my life. I studied creative advertising before switching my major to English; then I started working at the writing center where I was employed to help foreign students and peers in need. Now I'm here to try and expand my knowledge in the art of teaching. I want to work with students closely so that the effort is evident in the work the student...

...taught students from a variety of backgrounds. My teaching style tends to be hands-on and creative, and I do not believe that all students learn the same way. It is important to me to respect a student's learning style and adjust my teaching approach accordingly. While much of my experience comes from working with young students, I tutor a broad range of subjects. I am especially passionate about reading and literature, and love helping students...
