...different reasons and each academic pursuit has brought me unique life experiences. My years of mandarin study have opened doors for me abroad, including competing in Mandarin on an international television show and rehabilitating sea turtles in the South China Sea. My pursuit of biology has taken me from studying crows’ ability to recognize human faces here in Seattle to researching critically endangered monkeys and dolphins in picturesque rural China. I am excited to encourage...

I hold a Master of Arts in International Studies (MAIS) and a Master of Public Administration (MPA) from the University of Washington. I'm also a recipient of the prestigious Boren Fellowship and a three time FLAS Fellowship awardee, awarded for advanced language and area studies. I speak four languages and bring a global, real-world perspective...

...each student. That's why I love tutoring. I can tailor each student's sessions to what they actually need to work on, not what they need to learn for a test. I also believe in contact with school teachers when available. Knowing what they're struggling with in school allows me the ability to see what they need to practice, in addition to what they need to learn. I truly wish the best for each student I...

I have been working with children in schools, daycares, summer programs, and afterschool programs for 13 years. I hope to use my diverse experiences to foster communities of joyful and eager learners.... I believe that each student travels on their own unique path to knowledge. I believe that a teacher is a guide along these paths, walking alongside each student, supporting them where they struggle and guiding them when there is a fork in the road.

...professionally since 2011, mostly with working adults and young adults. I come from a long line of teachers on both sides of my family. Above all, I bring compassion to my work. I have a learning disability which makes me gifted in some areas, but very slow in others. This disconnect made my educational journey a long and difficult one. I understand the thrill of success, but also the despair and discouragement that comes with...

I am a college student working towards a B.A. in English with an emphasis in Journalism and am passionate about all forms of writing. I have been published in a local newspaper and am currently part of my school's newspaper team. Helping young writers grow and build confidence is important to me. Writing doesn't have to be scary!

...recently, as a Fulbright scholar, I completed a Master's degree while living in Scotland and leading a community writing group. Additionally, I worked as a writing tutor while I was studying at University of Washington for my Bachelor's degree, where I graduated magna cum laude. As a professional, I have had two books published in addition to dozens of articles. I am dedicated to helping others grow and be successful no matter where they are...

...former chemistry laboratory teaching assistant. I am also a professional improvisational pianist, harpist, and vocalist and the solo vocalist for my college Jazz Big Band. I have earned all A's in Cellular Biology, Microbiology, Organic Chemistry I and II, Anatomy and Physiology I, and Calculus I and II. I excel in rigorous college English courses and placed in the 98th percentile nationally in Organic Chemistry, according to American Chemical Society standards. I struggled initially with...

...think that we are only hindered by the limitations we place on ourselves, and that if we open our minds and stay dedicated, we can learn just about anything. This ethos led me to complete my minor in Sociology and Anthropology, take four years of voice lessons and auditioned choir, learn guitar, and write music. Currently, I am trying to learn Spanish, the basics of physics, and bike maintenance. I hope that I can share...

...a bard for a second grade teacher. He got me hooked on the Odyssey, which ended up defining my academic life. Writing, myth, journalism, linguistics, history: it's all a part of this huge story, a story with lots of parts we're all working on. I'm a nerd about how it works, and I've studied it from a lot of angles. As a tutor, I'm all about helping people find their voice and that part in...

...areas of focus are: psychology, history, philosophy, and writing. I have a master's degree in history and a master's degree in psychology. As a tutor, I do my best to be: patient, understanding, creative, and hardworking. Each student is unique and thus arrives with his or her own set of challenges and strengths; I strive to encounter the student where they are at. I hope to set realistic goals with students and build a strong...

Hi! My name is Orion and I just graduated from the University of Washington! I earned a BS in General Biology and am planning to attend a masters program in Physician Assistant Studies. I took many AP classes in high school and took junior and senior level classes as a freshman at UW so I could graduate a year early. Hopefully I get the chance to help you conquer some challenging classes :)

...not only my career but my passion! But even for students who don't love the books they are assigned, I believe it is important, as a life skill, to know how to discuss literature critically. Of course, good standardized test scores are useful too, and I understand from my own experience what skills are necessary to succeed on the SAT, GRE and Lit GRE. When I am not reading, writing, or teaching, I love to...

...I also taught piano and worked as a counselor at a summer camp for elementary aged students so I'd like to say I understand and get along pretty well with them! As for my tutoring style, it varies from student to student. I gauge what works and does not work when it comes to teaching techniques and tailor my approach to best help my student learn. Additionally, I've seen that asking questions and guiding my...

I love to teach! I am excited to pass on knowledge from my own educational experience to a student so that we can all participate in the cycle of education together.

...about teaching. I have 3 years of teaching experience teaching high school students SAT prep and exam preparation. We will find a book together that you like and I will purchase it too on my end if that is what is needed. But hopefully we can find some online material to start working with. I am an advent writer. I've been writing since I was 15. If you want to work on your writing skills,...

...writing process, from brainstorming and planning to revising and polishing. I believe that clear, creative, and efficient writing is a necessary tool for every student, one that will serve him or her well in school and beyond. Everyone can become a better writer, and I enjoy being part of that process. When I am not writing or teaching writing, I spend my free time reading, listening to music, or drawing with my three-year-old son, who...

...taught several myself. Northwestern University provided Contract & Business Law, and much computer-related instruction came from Novell, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, and others. Now I'm taking online classes to keep up with the growing use of social media Web sites. The technological 'tools' available today, better than anything from our past, deserve study and use. That's why much of my career has been computer technical support. I believe we all need computer help to get our work...

I recently graduated from Columbia University where I majored in English Literature. I'm also a pre-medical student, and I am currently taking a gap year teaching at an elementary school in Seattle before I apply to medical school next year. I have the most experience tutoring elementary and middle school students, but I am also comfortable with teaching english, math, and science K-12, and also the MCAT. Please get in touch if you are interested!

...English teacher for a year. I have been tutoring students of all ages since I was in high school, both privately and with tutoring organizations focusing mostly on English (reading comprehension, writing, etc.), but I have also tutored quite a bit of math, and I am excited to start tutoring French! When I tutor, I try to do all that I can to create an environment where the student feel comfortable enough to make mistakes...
