Award-Winning History Tutors in Bellevue, WA

...for two years in Arkansas. Although I have several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is sequential...

...to tutoring ESL, GED, and middle-school Math and Reading, I have worked as a college-prep writing instructor in a prison. I've also lived in Asia for three of the last five years, teaching and studying in mostly India and Southeast Asia. My tutoring/teaching style combines a big-picture, compassionate approach with detail-oriented and focused efficiency. In other words, I motivate my students by helping them apply their lessons to more than just school, while still focusing...

...a reciprocal and empathetic pedagogy. This begins with the acknowledgment that all students are different, all students have their own interests that should be taken seriously, and all students possess a wealth of knowledge and experience that can be drawn upon in order to allow each student to fully develop his or her own capacities. I love working with students in all fields, but I am most passionate about the Humanities and Social Sciences, Politics,...

Both were remarkable experiences and have significantly shaped my teaching style while simultaneously, through the stories of my students, demonstrating to me the paramount importance of education in today's society. I am a very flexible and amiable teacher who enjoys exchanging ideas with students. That said, my two years of both in-classroom and tutoring experience have shown to me the importance of having lesson plans of clear, consistent material. My...

...to take your concerns seriously and help you work through anxieties so that you can be your best student self. My favorite topic to tutor is History, but I also love to help students with ACT preparation and college admissions essays. I recognize that applying to college can be very stressful, and as a future professor, I think it is important that I help walk students through that process, sharing advice and critique and making...

...belief in the interest and importance of the thing taught, a concern about it amounting to a kind of passion. I believe a teacher ought also urge his students to think critically. It's almost always the case that rote memorization of facts or data cannot impart the same deep understanding of some subject or issue that becomes possible through critical examination and asking "why" things are the way they are. I'd love to be your...

...so far but by far my favorite subject is History. I have found that by examining what humans have done we can come closer to understanding what we are. My mother is a high school science teacher, and ever since 9th grade I have been tutoring, although my interests shifted quite frequently. In college, I was able to both study and tutor Politics and History in probably the best city for those subjects, our nation's...

Careful, concept-oriented preparation can help ensure that students don’t run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need to recognize as many problem types as possible. Sitting for a standardized test can be a stressful experience for many people. I try to give students a firm toolkit of...
