Rob

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +85 Subjects

I am a private tutor with over ten years of experience on the SATs, College Essays & Applications, English, History, Math, TOEFL, and the like. I have taught for over seven years, including at such prestigious institutions as Choate Rosemary Hall, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Fordham University with a triple major in English, Philosophy, and American studies. I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts.As a tutor, I am both flexible and patient. No two students are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather, I try to meet students where they are, and find ways to help them accomplish whatever goals they have in mind, be it an SAT score, a better writing style, or a new approach to studying history. I have helped hundreds of students with SAT preparation, and have worked both around the United States and internationally as a private tutor and college counselor, so I am familiar with many different types of students, from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the various difficulties they face. In short, I work with students in many ways, depending on what the student him or herself needs.

Kwaisi

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +26 Subjects

The purpose of education is to prepare future citizens of the state to be informed, engaged and aware of how our society functions so they can reinforce its strengths and challenge its weaknesses.I have a special responsibility as a U.S. History and Economics teacher at the St. Frances Academy as we are the oldest historically black educational institution in the western hemisphere. It is especially important that our students in particular are armed with the knowledge and a visual example of what it takes to graduate from college, gain meaningful employment, and/or endeavor in entrepreneurship.I believe students learn best by repetition in being challenged with the subject matter and their assignments while relating both to the real world. I have designed my own college level curriculum with a mini-lecture that I recorded myself at the beginning of each lesson, and a video from another academic source related to the subject matter at the end. In class, I lecture using the socratic method allowing those who struggle in that format to ask questions or read passages to stay engaged in the class. I believe important concepts are strengthened if they come from not only myself as the teacher, but from another academic source outside of the building. Most importantly, they need to hear them come from themselves and their fellow classmates.Whether Economics, U.S. History, World History, Geography, or test prep my goals remain the same. In order:Preparation for college and the professional worldEstablishing a plan of attack for complex subject matter (outlines, timelines, outside sources.)Time management (all assignments are posted one week ahead of time)Technological Expertise (proper essay format and citing, online submission)Punctuality (no latework is accepted)Overcoming difficult challenges using the resources you have (office hours, academic support, study groups)Develop engaged citizenryForce critical thinkingIntroduce different problem solving techniquesNurture self-directed learningSeeing individual fulfillment at the discovery of content mastery and generation of new knowledgeIn my opinion, the most effective method for teaching is trial and error. Unfortunately, due to the failure of many of the elementary and middle schools my students are coming from, many students are "A/B Honor Roll" whom have developed poor habits that will be conducive to academic failure at the next level. It's important to let them try it their way or "the way that has always worked" so they understand the level they need to rise too for success in college.I know this because my graduates come back and tell me how happy they were that at least they had me to prepare them. I also have my A students talk to my next year's class and they reveal what they get out of the class. "You don't know until you go through it!" is a phrase I often hear them tell the next year's students that I take great pride in.The most important aspects of my teaching are organization, consistency, and availability. My class is completely planned out for the year and online, and all rules are contained in the syllabus. The structure of the class along with assignments due and types of assignments is clear and there really is no deviation. I have multiple office hours throughout the week.

Edward

ACT Prep Tutor • +30 Subjects

I just recently graduated from a Master's program in History from the University of Cambridge, in England. Before my Master's program, I also studied History as an undergraduate at Yale University. While I am available to tutor a wide variety of subjects and tests, including the ACT, I am most passionate about History (as if you couldn't tell already), and I am very excited to teach new students everything that I've had the chance to learn over the last five years. My tutoring experience includes providing general homework help for children with special needs, both in home and at school, and providing subject-specific help through online tutoring. I have also worked as a camp counselor, so I know how to treat students with the respect that they deserve, while also ensuring that they understand the material before them.In the long-term, I would like to work in the US government and help create foreign policy. For now, though, I'm interested in learning more about the foreign policy and national security challenges that face the United States today and how these issues might intertwine with the global energy market. In my spare time, I enjoy cycling, watching television and films, and listening to music.

Graduating from Brigham Young University in 2019 from the McKay School of Education was one life dream fulfilled. In high school, I wasn't sure what job I should obtain, but I thought of how good it felt helping other people to reach their needs and dreams and I felt like teaching was what I was meant to do; and after three years where I substituted for many different grades, and part-time taught 1-6, 7th grades it proved to me that teaching was a true strength and passion of mine.

Joseph

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +28 Subjects

I have a BA in English Literature and an M.Ed., both from The University of Pittsburgh. I earned my certification as a reading specialist from the University of Akron.I have 10 years of teaching experience as a certified teacher. I am also a certified reading specialist. I believe the best way to teach is to assess the learning style of each student, teach to their strengths and help them develop strategies to work around their weaknesses. That means helping them discover how they learn which is a skill they will use for a lifetime of learning.My interests include travel, exercise, yoga, reading, politics and snowboarding. In my current position, I am responsible for managing several education programs for students with special needs, aged from 7-20.

Adobe Illustrator Tutor • +15 Subjects

My educational journey began at Kent's Hill, a boarding school in Maine. I went on to pursue a degree at The University of Maine at Augusta, where I received my BA in a liberal arts degree. I later continued my educational journey by pursuing my Masters in Visual Arts from Jacksonville University. At Jacksonville University I had the opportunity to teach a figure drawing class. I have seven years of experience teaching grades 6th to 12th grade. Most recently my experience is working for the Maine public school system, as an art teacher with grades K-12. I teach studio art courses to Middle school students, while I teach High school students advance drawing, painting, sculpture, and foundational art classes. With every art student that I have mentored, I have encouraged them to explore their potential to advance skills in new mediums and push conceptual thinking.

Elizabeth

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +25 Subjects

Hi! My name is Elizabeth, and I have years of experience tutoring LD/neurodivergent students, teaching adult learners, and substitute teaching. I have tips, tricks, and hacks for dyslexics, ADHD students, and those with dyscalculia. I can also tutor history, and social studies.I was a tutor, reader (recording text books onto tape), and note-taker for the Jones Learning Center at my alma mater, the University of the Ozarks. I worked with a students who were had a variety of diagnosis', including but not limited to, severe dyslexia and ADHD. I have facilitated outdoor learning experiences for youth and adult learners in New Orleans, and have taught basic computer skills to low income adult learners. For the past two years I have been a substitute teacher, focusing primarily on subbing for special education classes, subbing for inclusion teachers, and dyslexia teachers. I enjoy working with middle school, high school, and young adults they always ask the best questions, and have interesting and thoughtful perspectives.Tutoring sessions with me may involve cheers, chants, jumping around, and dance parties if needed. I'm a firm believer that there is no one way to learn, and my goal is to find out your best way of learning, and adapt my tutoring to you. The first several tutoring sessions with be a combination of assessments,(figuring out where you are academically, what gaps there may be, and how you learn) and what your learning goals are. The final tutoring session for a section will be you teaching me the material we've covered, if you can do that effectively, you've mastered the content (and you'll ace the test/class).
