Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Everett, WA

...in both the humanities and sciences. The winter after graduating, I received my EMT license and moved to Bozeman, Montana. While living in Bozeman, I was a ski patroller at Big Sky Resort. While patrolling, I discovered a fascination with medicine. After one more season patrolling at Big Sky and two at Crystal Mountain, I fulfilled prerequisites in Bozeman, took the MCAT, and applied to medical school. My undergraduate education focused on the humanities and...

...very relaxed and easy-going, although I typically challenge my students to understand mathematical and scientific principles in the context of real-world problems, and I encourage critical thinking and problem solving whenever possible. My primary academic interest is string theory, which tries to combine Einstein's theory of gravity and general relativity with quantum mechanics, the physics of the subatomic realm. One of my advantages as a math tutor, in particular, is that I have first hand...

...working with students. I discovered tutoring while I was studying to teach in college and ever since I have found it suits my love of working closely with dedicated students. I have more than five years of experience tutoring students and have had the honor of watching them blossom as students and as people. From a junior in high school telling me that he really understood math for the first time, to a senior getting...

...was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?)....

...my students. In addition to teaching, I am a writer, and I've been editing my own book lately, soon to be completed and published. I have had poetry, prose and articles in local magazines and newspapers. Both my BA and MFA degrees from the University of Washington and the University of California, Irvine respectively are in creative writing, so that is my specialty. However, I can help with any type of writing. Most of the...

...eat for a day, but teach him to fish and he'll be set for life, type of deal. My favorite, however, is to tutor writing and reading, as these are my own favorite things to do. I think the art of writing is one of the most important, as it effects how you present yourself, as well as how convincing your work is. There is nothing that does not, at least in part, require writing...

...my m=Masters in teaching with the hopes of becoming a high school Biology and/or Chemistry teacher. I have a passion for education and love helping students learn and succeed - not just to pass the classes they need to, but to have a thorough understanding of and passion for the topic. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my passions are Biology and Chemistry. In my free time, I snowboard, read, cook, hike, watch movies...

I focus on using what a student already knows and improving their ability to apply and their confidence to look within. Most of the time those are the biggest obstacles. I like to focus on process and generally stay away from spending time on rote memorization. I won't claim to make learning fun, but I will try to make the work less arduous. Work smarter not harder!

...capable of reaching his/her goal, given the tools needed to accomplish this. I try to reach each student at his or her level. Each one of us has special gifts and talents and I love to see my students' gifts blossom for others to see. I tutor math from the elementary level through Calculus 1 in addition to the math components of the SAT and ACT. In my spare time I do crafts, knitting, and...

...my solutions to help students achieve their goals. Preparing for a standardized test can feel overwhelming. But you really can be prepared. 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...
