Award-Winning ISEE- Lower Level Tutors serving San Diego, CA

...something I cared deeply about. I tutored my way through college at Wesleyan University, where I graduated with Honors. Now with five years of experience, I am prepared to teach on a wide range of subjects in a variety of styles. When not tutoring, I am a playwright and lyricist, working on my second musical; a drummer playing shows throughout the city; and an amateur media theorist saving up for graduate school.

...school. My intent, when tutoring, is to responsively connect with students, so that they can engage in understanding their subject and acquire learning tools to attack new material confidently. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, Math, and Social Studies. Studying U.S. and World History is a personal passion; delving into STEM topics, such as 3D printing, microbiology, and chemistry, is a self-educating goal. I believe education is inspiring the desire to engage in learning,...

...magnetism and static electricity. Both my degree at Yale and my research at MIT and other institutions were hard-won. Thats because although I loved the subject matter in truth I did not have all the intuition for the material that came naturally to some. In order to compensate, when I found that mere classwork was not enough, I turned to online videos, external reading, extensive diagramming and other more flexible learning tools. As a result,...

...algebra, test taking tips, time management, etc. During our sessions together, we will review the problems that I have provided for homework, and I will instruct the student on better and faster ways to solve the correct problems and demonstrate ways to approach the problems that they did not know how to solve. Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great tutor/student relationships. I set high...

...experience with all ages of children. Additionally, in college, I participate in a program called Each One Teach One. WashU has partnerships with St. Louis Public Schools and students to go schools once a week and tutor the kids as a way to give back to the community. I want to start as a teacher after graduation, get my master's degree, and move into education policy. I have known I wanted to be a teacher...

...time on, explain concepts in alternative ways, and review the building blocks that the student needs to complete the tasks at hand. We'll work together so that your student gains skills and confidence. I've enjoyed working with preschoolers to middle schoolers, and high school students are a great group to interact with. Everyone has their own energy and personal story they bring to a relationship, so I can say I do not prefer one age...

...school in the Fishtown section of Philadelphia. I work hard to develop 1:1 or small group sessions with my students to help them find their confidence to succeed as I know they are capable of doing! I am always challenging myself as well as my students to reach our full potential. I hold my students to high expectations. I am excited to have the opportunity to share my knowledge in a tutoring session to help...

...taking a break from teaching in a formal classroom setting to raise a family and pursue writing. Tutoring has become a perfect fit for this time in my life because I still get to work with students on a regular basis. One of my favorite things about tutoring is working one on one with each student, making each session fit their individual needs. My goal is to strengthen a student's knowledge foundation. Building their knowledge...

...experience teaching new skills through the Girl Scouts program. For over two years I have participated in Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) and Girls on the Run (GOTR). As a mentor for BBBS, I often helped my little sister with her homework, and clarified any questions she had about the subject matter. As a GOTR coach I taught participants about a positive self-image and healthy dietary choices. My experiences working with others and my devotion...

...University of Michigan. I have taught college courses in psychology and organizational behavior, and recently received a Master of Arts in Teaching from the University of Northern Colorado. I enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds. My tutoring style emphasizes identifying and building upon student strengths, adapting my methods and explanations to best meet the needs of individual students. I enjoy helping students develop specific skills and meet their immediate goals, but I love...
