I tutor a wide range of subjects, with a background in humanities, arts and math. I've been a language teacher for the past seven years, focusing on "twice exceptional" students, those who are highly gifted and have challenges like autism, executive functioning, and learning disabilities. With master's degrees in both Mathematical Physics and Special Education, I love teaching both advanced subject material and the fundamentals of literacy, organizing, and the whole human that go along with all learning. I often say I work best with folks who "love learning but hate school."I am very flexible with teaching, ethics and focus on student needs, styles and interests. In languages especially, I can bring students to great leaps in proficiency through low-stress, research-backed methods like immersion in "comprehensible input" and learning through stories and cultural material with lots of context.

Current college junior at USC majoring in History and Cinema. I can help with writing, art history and any history subject!

I earned my bachelor's degree in English with a focus in writing from Randolph Macon Woman's College. During my junior year I studied abroad in England where I was instructed in writing using the Cambridge and Oxford style essay construction approach. My time in England allowed me to travel in Europe, and this began a love of traveling and meeting people from across the globe. My senior year of college I worked as an international student Orientation Leader and Mentor, and in the spring, I interned at the local high school as an English language tutor for immigrant students. After graduation, I worked in the service industry and also made time for a trip to New Zealand and Australia, while earning a certification in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and Teaching Pronunciation from Oxford Seminars and Eastfield College, respectively. I used these qualifications to journey to the city of Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia, Russia, where for two years I taught English language comprehension classes and exam preparatory classes focused on argumentative style essays and mathematical analysis essays. I taught group classes of children, teenagers, and adults, and I also was engaged as a private tutor through the language school where I was employed. I am currently a student at the University of Texas at Arlington working towards my Masters in Linguistics, which I intend to use to continue teaching English language at a private or public school. I am also employed as a reading comprehension and vocabulary teacher at the Nepali Cultural Center in Irving. I have traveled to 15 countries including Lebanon and the Czech Republic, and I love reading, coffee, shopping, tech gadgets, creative writing, and singing karaoke in my spare time.

Teaching at the university level has enlightened me to the learning modes of both high school and college students. As an instructor of Freshman composition at Baruch College and Brooklyn College, I taught essay writing to students who were in an in-between state: not quite full-fledged college students, but eagerly ready to leave high school and its rote ways of thinking behind. In the first weeks at Baruch, I realized something very important: we are always a little in-between places, and we do not altogether leave the "old" house when we move into the "new." I increasingly understood teaching to be less about the introduction of new knowledge, then creative ways of re-appropriating what we already know. In short, I became a fan of recycling, finding out what my students knew (always a surprising amount), what worked for them, and then coming up with improved ways of merging those effective strategies (at writing an essay with a thesis statement, for instance) with what were time-tested and worked well for me.As a tutor for standardized tests, I do the same, but also draw upon specific literary-minded questions that I asked on a routine basis as an Instructor of World Literature. The one I think is most relevant to the SAT and other standardized tests asks, "what is the author not merely saying with his or her words, but doing with them"? When we put ourselves in the shoes of the test-writers, not just the shoes of the test-taker, a lot becomes really clear about how to succeed at taking tests without really trying (so hard). This said, I am also a believer that the amount of time you put into anything is proportionate with the results, and study really does pay off when it comes to APs and SATs. Study can also be fun, and I make an emphasis on how a slight change in approach to the materials covered on these tests can transform hours of drudgery into a playful, good time.I come from a background in academia where I was a Ph.D. student in English Literature (CUNY) and editor. It goes without saying that I love literature! Some of my favorite works are Moby-Dick, the poems of Gwendolyn Brooks and Emily Dickinson, the lyrics of Bob Dylan, and anything by James Baldwin, Kurt Vonnegut, or James Joyce. I hail from the Midwest where I earned a BA with Honors from the University of Michigan and studied Englisn Literature and American History. In Ann Arbor, I also honed my historical trivia when I competed on academic bowl, which is like Jeopardy, but with teams.

I am a graduate student who loves teaching all age groups. I place emphasis on student interaction at all levels, and love different Zoom and online interface features to create a dynamic classroom environment. I'm communication-oriented, and focus on finding out my students' academic needs to help them achieve their goals.

I am Chad Bergman, a current Dartmouth student pursuing my Bachelor's in Economics with a physics minor. I have experience tutoring college economics in person on Dartmouth campus as well as online tutoring in high school calculus and physics. I've had great success on the SAT and ACT as well as my AP tests in high school, and I hope to help others succeed as well. My favorite subject to tutor is physics because I feel like learning to apply a few fundamental principles to different real world situations is extremely useful in any discipline. While tutoring I try to help students master the fundamentals so they can apply them to the material we're working on as well as future material. Outside academia, I help look after my four siblings and play more League of Legends online than is perhaps healthy.

I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude with Honors in Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania, and I was also in the top 5% of my class in high school. I have been privately tutoring for 4 years, specifically in high school chemistry and test prep. I also helped teach a remedial English class at West Philadelphia High School for a year through a program called Community School Student Partnerships. I am dedicated to making difficult material more accessible and engaging to students who are struggling in an imperfect educational environment, and also to fostering literacy, writing and critical thinking skills that can be applied to all subjects and beyond. I am a research assistant at the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania, and in my free time, I enjoy theater, traveling and swing dancing.

I'm a dedicated, free-spirited educator dedicated to pushing students to be the best version of themselves they can be. I've worked in public education for two years as a high school teacher and seek outside opportunities to help individual students as much as I already do in my own classroom.

Hi!My name is Jorge and I am a language arts, Spanish, and social sciences tutor. In terms of language arts, I specialize in reading comprehension, analysis, and composition skills. I am a certified Spanish language and literature tutor at all levels, and I also teach history, geography, and politics in general. I am Spanish and Peruvian by origin, and I grew up in Florida. I have lived in three continents, and I have over five years of experience teaching in multicultural environments. I love teaching one-on-one and helping my students excel in their specific learning goals. For me teaching is like cooking, the best results are obtained when you're willing to try new things and integrate different techniques and ingredients into the recipe.

I am currently working on my second degree from Towson University. The first is a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science. I will complete my Master of Arts in Teaching with a focus on social science next May. When I graduate, I will teach high school history, civics, government, and geography. In the meantime, I am a substitute teacher for high school and middle school students. History and politics are my favorite subjects to teach, and I am an excellent writer. Essays, short stories, and research papers have always been a strength of mine. Throughout college, my peers sought me out for writing advice, and I often obliged them by editing their work. I volunteer to teach basic reading skills to the adult illiterate population in Baltimore, at the Greater Homewood Community Corporation, once a week. As an avid reader myself, I know how much reading can enhance one's quality of life. I am a firm believer in differentiated instruction. Not all students learn the same way. I tutor/teach students in the way that best suits their learning styles. I welcome the opportunity to teach audio, visual, or kinesthetic learners. Although history is my strength, "teaching" is my real passion. After teaching, sports are my second favorite hobby. My playing days are mostly behind me, but I’m still a huge baseball, basketball, and football fan.
