I received a Bachelor of Science in Literature, Media, and Communications from Georgia Tech. My area of concentration was in media and communications. I have experience in numerous writing forms, including journalistic and technical writing. During my college career, I worked as a Peer Tutor at the University of West Georgia. In my experience, learning is a collaborative effort and can be achieved from many directions. In my tutoring, I try to align each student's academic goals with the material they are mastering. I have a passion for academic writing. I am a firm believer that strengthening one's writing skills is one of the foundations of academic success.I tutor up to college-level English, reading, writing, and social studies; as well as offer support for the college application process.

I believe that every student can learn if the right approach is used. Finding the right buttons for the student to push is the real job of the tutor.

I am going on my 4th year of teaching and love working with students. I know learning history can be challenging andoverwhelming at times. However, I have all kinds of learning and studying strategies prepared for the students. The best part about these strategies is that they can be used for other subjects other than history. My goal is to have the students take these strategies and use them for other classes.Therefore, they can build their confidence, as well as become more independent in their future Studies. I plan to be dedicated to each student that I have the privilege of working with.

I am a passionate academic tutor and content area expert. My objective is to provide students with conceptual knowledge and understanding of the topics, which will allow them to become independent, life-long learners. No matter your current skill level, I can meet you where you are and help you cross your academic finish line!I currently study Chemical/Biochemical Engineering and I previously completed the rigorous International Baccalaureate Diploma Program. As such, I have extensive knowledge in the fields of Chemistry (high school, inorganic, organic), History (Europe and the Middle East), Math (all levels up to, and including, Calculus II), Physics (algebra-based), the IB Programme, and ACT Prep. I have tutored in each of these areas extensively.

Hello, I'm Alicia, a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, and graduate student in Writing at Columbia University.In May of 2011 I received my Bachelor's in Comparative Arts, a unique interdisciplinary program offered through the WashU's Department of Comparative Literature - essentially a hybrid of Literature and Art History. I also completed minors in both Photography and Writing, two of my greatest passions. In the fall of 2012 I began my MFA in Writing with a concentration in non-fiction at Columbia.My extensive coursework in English and Creative Writing has given me a great deal of experience in workshop-based classes, and has made me a careful and skilled editor. I believe one of my greatest strengths is not only my own ability to write fluidly, but also to help others do the same while still respecting their individual voices. I love to work with students on college essays, other applications, and general writing skills - this past year, one of my students with whom I worked on a college essay was accepted to every school to which he applied, and I work to achieve that goal with all of my students! I'm also experienced in Verbal and Writing test prep, particularly for the SAT, and find great satisfaction in watching my students' scores steadily improve. In short, if your tutoring needs have to do with words, I've got them covered!I also devoted a good portion of time in my undergraduate career to foreign language study and to developing an appreciation of global culture. I have studied Spanish, French, Russian, and German and have traveled on my own to over twenty nations. I spent half of my junior year abroad in Barcelona, Spain, honing the Spanish I had been accumulating since the fifth grade, picking up some Catalan, and studying design and art history in one of the world's foremost design capitals. I am experienced as a tutor in Spanish language, and have had much success bringing up my students' grades through personalized assessments and exercises built around their own weaknesses, in addition to those provided by the textbook and general homework help.In my free time I love to photograph, bake, knit, make music, and travel. I hope you'll consider me as a tutor!

Hello there! My name is Quinn, I am a student at the University of Northern Colorado. I love music, biology, math, science in general, and absolutely adore writing! I have helped students of every age with their academics, social life, and even career life. I can't wait to work with you!

I am a double graduate of Columbus State University where I majored in Political Science and received my Master's degree in Public Administration. While in school, I began a non-profit called "MyCivics" where we specialized in tutoring students in the social sciences such as politics, government, history and other areas. Currently, I am in school for my Ph.D. in Public Policy and work full-time in local government as a public administrator.Why do people make the decisions that they make? That's the question that I have dedicated to spending my career hoping to answer. As a student of politics and government, it is my job to not only learn, but also help others learn about the decision-making processes that affect their lives every day. I believe that good citizens are those that remain well informed about the world around them and seek solutions that aim to make the world a better place.In my spare time, I love to read, travel, exercise, spend time with my wife and puppy, and play video games every now and then.

After graduating from Penn State in 2010 with a degree in Classics & Ancient Mediterranean Studies and Religious Studies, I worked for several years with Bethesda Project, a social service agency serving the homeless population in urban Philadelphia. The experience was both enlightening and humbling, and it emphasized to me the inextricable importance of education to the prevention of widespread poverty and societal injustice. I decided then to pursue a career in education, and I recently completed my M.Ed. in Secondary Social Studies at Temple University. I have since become a Pennsylvania certified teacher in both Social Studies and English for grades 7-12, although I am also comfortable tutoring younger students.My strengths as an educator lie in my passion for both the subject matter and the desire to see students directly benefit from true comprehension and understanding. To me, history and social studies are important only in the context of what they teach us about how events and culture shape the world in which we currently live. A history class cannot be taught in isolation - it must be made relevant to our experiences today. I can certainly help struggling students to memorize names and dates for an exam, but my primary goal is to encourage a thorough understanding of cause and effect so that the memorization process takes on real meaning.In a similar way, I view English reading, writing, and composition as integral components in basic communication. Reading comprehension skills help us to make sense of both written and verbal arguments from others, not only in the classroom but in the real world. Likewise, the development of writing skills is crucial to our ability to express our thoughts in a coherent, persuasive manner. These are skills with consequence far beyond the walls of the classroom.I believe that all students possess strengths and weaknesses in the academic setting, and in all subject areas I am eager to share strategic studying tips for various types of learners. When a student is aware of how he/she learns best, future comprehension becomes a surmountable challenge rather than an imposing barrier.

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in International Relations with an emphasis in Middle Eastern Studies and Arabic. As part of my coursework, I studied Arabic for three years and spent a semester in Amman, Jordan. After graduating, I worked on a U.S. Senate campaign, then interned at a think tank and congressional office in Washington, DC. While at the think tank, I co-authored an article that was published in US News and World Report. I am currently pursuing my juris doctorate (JD) at the University of Georgia School of Law.While an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for a political writing and research course and an Islamic studies course. As part of this, I did extensive proofreading and editing of student papers and taught weekly lectures on writing skills and current events. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about reading and writing, SAT prep, and history. I really believe that asking thought-provoking questions is essential for effective teaching. In my spare time I enjoy biking, running, working out at the gym, and reading.

I am a graduate student at Boston College receiving a Masters in Theology & Ministry. I am also a graduate of Tulane University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Italian as well as a Classics minor. During my final year at Tulane, I was hired as an Italian tutor where I worked with freshman and sophomore students. Since graduation, I have been working as an AmeriCorps member as a part of City Year, where I tutor 5th grade students who are especially behind in reading and math. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Italian, French, History, and Admissions Essays. My teaching philosophy is centered around intrinsic motivation, believing that the best results come when we are genuinely interested in exploring our curiosity, building our intellect, and expanding our creativity. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, yoga, laughing with friends and family, and walks in nature.
