Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Tacoma, WA

...English 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!

...The sciences are my favorite to 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...

...creative 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.

...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 new set of students has brought more experience and knowledge to that teacher. A good teacher is constantly learning. As a good teacher, that is what I will do. Children Learn Best When In...

...really enjoy watching people blossom as they gain knowledge, 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...

...philosophy to tailor my tutoring strategies to the individual student, making sure they have a clear understanding of why I'm structuring their lessons in a particular way, rather than having them just blindly running through practice exercises. My first formal introduction into tutoring others was in high school, when my English teacher asked me to tutor her daughter. I have always been top of my class in subjects related to reading and writing, and I...

...environment, 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!

I have tutored and taught several undergraduate chemistry courses, including: general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and high school chemistry.
