Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Bellevue, WA

I am an engineer who loves teaching and tutoring. I tutored math as an undergraduate student and taught labs as a grad student. After working years as an engineer, I went to Southeast Asia to teach because it is the job that I love the most. I look forward to working with students and enriching their minds.

...Speakers of Other Languages). I have a B.A. in Spanish and a minor in French. My student focus is: elementary through adult - both public and private education. I have taught students literally from all around the world. Personally, I have studied aboard, lived and worked both in the U.S. and overseas in various countries. I am multilingual, and I continue to strive to improve my communication (reading, writing, listening and speaking) in other languages....

...and gladly pay it forward. I feel that it is just as important to support our youth in their education on humanities and the arts in addition to their studies in the STEM field. I envision a future where learning compassion and how we can help others are just as valued as being proficient in math, science, and business. On my educational background, I went to college at Thomas Edison State University earning my Bachelors...

...exchange programs that vary from an emphasis on the performing arts to creating video ethnologys of a foreign culture. Traveling with over 30 kids already has its challenges, but when we throw in the added variables of the political climate or language barriers of Guatemala, Guyana and Morocco, educated improvisation became a powerful tool to our success. I lived in many of the aforementioned countries, by doing so, I was able to be the bridge...

...the material presented to them (Schiefele, U. (1991). Interest, learning, and motivation. Educational psychologist, 26(3-4), 299-323.). One of the best things about being a tutor is being able to see the moment everything "clicks" and makes sense. I make a conscious effort to relate what students are working on to things they are interested in and already understand so the new material will "click." It gets them engaged with the material, and motivates them to...

I am retired from the Issaquah School Distict, and my degree is in Early Childhood Ed. I have been tutoring for 8 yrs.I treat each child as an individual, and adjust my teaching to their learning needs. I have worked with many Special Ed children also.

...Literature. I plan on continuing to my Masters in Teaching through WGU this fall, primarily focusing on secondary education. I have studied an array of literature, writing forms, grammar, and linguistics. Growing up I also went to and received tutoring for my school work until my SAT/ACT Prep, which really helped shape and motivate my educational career. I am so excited to work with students, and show them that learning can be FUN!

...teach because even after learning some of the most basic information, some of the most exciting current events in science can be understood as well. I believe that if a subject is relevant and interesting to a student, they will be more eager and excited to learn. While a student, I learned through peer study groups that the act of teaching is one of the best ways to learn and master a subject. I employ...

...majoring in Industrial and Labor Relations, with a double minor in Finance and Computer Science. I graduated with the IB Diploma and wrote my EE on World Studies: Psychology and World History! In high school, I was heavily involved in DECA ( as a national titleholder), FCCLA (regional board), and now serve as secondary chair of Delta Sigma Pi (professional business fraternity) and Kappa Kappa Gamma. I'm excited to work with you as a tutor!

...writing in between. Public education has evolved in a way that makes me feel I'm no longer comfortable trying to evolve with it, so I've given up teaching and have begun working as a real estate agent in the south Seattle area. I look at tutoring as something I can do occasionally on the side, because I do miss working with students, especially those actively seeking to better themselves and their skills.

Regardless of gender, race or history, I believe, that with the right mindset, anyone has the ability to learn anything they want and accomplish their goals; I was born in a small town in Mexico called Irapuato. 23 years later I graduated college with a mechanical engineering degree from one of the most notorious programs in the nation. Whatever your goals, I'd like to help achieve them.

...I would like to understand them as a person. I want to benefit them as a person, and bring growth and change to them, to build a strong and positive foundation for their education, and their future. A good teacher is always improving. They are always adjusting their worksheets, assignments, lectures, demonstrations, classrooms, seating charts, etc. This is because a good teacher learns from their students. Every year the teacher has enhanced their skills because a...

...years of experience as a public school teacher in Seattle at the middle and high school levels, teaching classes in Reading, Writing, History/Social Studies, and Literature. My interest and expertise in these subjects, as well as my ability to work effectively with students of all different backgrounds and ability levels, will be easily observable in any tutoring session that we organize. So whether you are looking for essay-writing support, an improvement in reading comprehension skills,...

...everyday lives, and the lives of others. I also am known and loved for injecting humor into my tutoring work in a way that keeps things fun and fresh.

(Doctor of Education), University of Washington I am bilingual in English and Spanish, and also speak Portuguese. I am a guitarist and banjo player, and avid lover of...

...skills and above all, confidence. I am particularly strong in foreign languages - I have taught all levels of French (including AP), I am also fluent in Italian, and I am fairly adept at German. I also have strengths in English lit and writing, as I majored in literature and journalism, and worked as a reporter, writer, copy editor and freelance journalist for many years. I am very positive and warm, yet encourage students to...

...in subjects related to reading and writing, and I was flattered and happy to have my first paying job. In my experience, many students study in a very inefficient way. My approach is to keep students motivated by using our time intelligently. I build their confidence and understanding starting from the most fundamental concepts, and in the end they master subjects more fully and more quickly than they would have by rushing through them.

...and I want to work with you in the ways that fit you best. When it comes to explaining the fundamentals, I'll support you in math and psychology; when it comes to biology, I'll help you conquer the nitty-gritty; and when it comes to reading analysis and writing skills, I'll help you shine. I'd be happy to work with you, regardless of age or background. Thanks for passing by, and have a nice day!
