Award-Winning History Tutors in Bellingham, WA

I am a recent University of Washington graduate in Spanish Language and Comparative Religion studies. I love playing the flute, reading, and tutoring students at my local high school and here.

...US certified teacher. I speak and write Mandarin Chinese (although far from perfectly!). Learning a foreign language, especially one so different from English, has been a long-term and ongoing project. One of the most important things I’ve gotten from learning Chinese is a sense of humility and forgiveness. Learning can be hard—and every teacher will...

...1995. I've tutored Spanish, history, science, math, and English (lots of English! Dyslexia and other learning disorders are my specialty). I can't really say that I have a "favorite" subject. If I had to pick, I'd have to say a subject I'm not very familiar with - it's an excuse to learn something new! I...

...two large urban schools within the Miami Dade district. I opened and expanded an International Baccalaureate program at John A. Ferguson HS, where I became an IB certified teacher, later on training and supervising 16 teachers in 8 different languages offered at the school. I taught and led an ESL department in Boston, MA for...

...Other Languages (TESOL). I've had the privilege to study in a range of places, including Colorado, Washington, and Valparaiso, Chile. The teaching opportunities I've been given include weekly lessons with exchange students in the U.S, as well as volunteering with Valpo Surf Project, a non-profit that teaches English to underprivileged youth in Valparaiso, Chile. My...

...I am a Finance student at the University of Washington in Seattle, WA. Besides business, I have extensive expertise in a variety of subject areas, ranging from language arts to math and science. I have been tutoring students of all ages locally and have seen every single one of them achieve great success in education...

...homework and assignments. More recently, I tutored one-on-one with students in their home, helping with Zoom school. I also recently worked as a student teacher at a local middle school where I taught a six-week course on digital literacy. I am interested in tutoring many subjects, but I am most passionate about social studies, government,...

...at a wilderness camp, taught in public schools with students who have IEP's for emotional/behavioral difficulties, supported teachers through various special education needs, and have taught subjects such as reading, writing, social skills, history, and math. Needless to say, I have been driven to help others because I enjoy the challenge, building relationships, and helping...

...for the University of Washington, Seattle, with a PhD in history. I am also a documentary filmmaker. I joined varsity tutors because I love teaching and take great joy in helping others reach their potential! I have expertise in history (especially European history), dissertation writing, public speaking and filmmaking. I hope to meet you soon!

Anyone can learn anything if given the opportunity and the correct path to the conclusion.... Engage the student on all levels, and then lead them to the answer instead of pushing.... Try to find out the most effective way to teach the student. Relax and talk about how to get to the solution.... Find the student's favorite way to learn.

...students who have special needs and who come from homes experiencing distress. I can relate to them and know how to be patient and encouraging in order to give them a sense of hope in what sometimes seems like a hopeless place. As an educator, mentor, and life coach, it is my goal and life’s...

...help them succeed! Having started learning a language from the beginning, I am well equipped to help others do the same as I have a good idea of what works and doesn't work in language learning. Additionally, my international affairs major has deepened my understanding of politics, history, and macro-economics - learning how all of...

...English tutoring. My approach to tutoring is centered on the belief that nothing is particularly difficult if you just break it down into small parts. For example, things like Advanced Placement tests and standardized tests when viewed as a whole can seem like daunting tasks which require lots of higher order reading, writing, and thinking...

...with students to recognize errors, and to help students be able to answer questions by themselves. I have a similar approach in English subjects, where it is very important to develop a thought process when thinking analytically about a piece of writing. Students will learn to recognize grammatical structure and parts of speech, as well...

...When not working or gaming, you can find me wandering mountain trails. As I stated above I believe that forging a personal connection between the student and the material is the key to education. The teacher's job to identify and facilitate that connection and encourage the student's curiosity. People learn best when they want to...

...students, identifying their strengths and weaknesses, and leveraging their interests in order to motivate them and build confidence. I hold very high expectations, but I always take the time to figure out what kinds of strategies and supports students need to be successful. I strongly believe in helping students develop a growth mindset, which they...

...school to college students through various subjects. I have also worked extensively with special needs children, doing everything from teaching special education to one-on-one in-home mentoring. Through my experiences, I have continued to carry my passion for working with children and have developed my skills in making successful and individualized learning fun. Math, science and...

...or so students doesn't allow--it's more personal. By use of whiteboards, practice problems, constant repetition, and positive encouragement, students start to understand the problems themselves and are more likely to be able to solve similar problems by themselves in the future. When I can see the student understands a troubling concept so that s/he can...

...philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of...

...enjoy knowledge, both the receiving and the giving thereof, and Im looking forward to being able to help your student (or you yourself) grow in the field you are currently grappling with. I have been fortunate to do well in my own academic pursuits: earning a Bachelor's in International Affairs & History from Georegetown University...
