Award-Winning Middle School Tutors in Hollywood, CA

...hand. My tutoring style is individualized to each student as everyone has a different struggle and thinks in a different manner. Using my background in Education from the University of South Florida, I am able to create a unique learning situation for each student. I am also very patient and able to view a problem from multiple angles. These abilities allow me to create a learning environment that turns frustration into triumph. I also enjoy...

...with over 3 years of tutoring experience in various subjects, I've had the privilege of implementing creative instructional strategies. These efforts contributed to a 24% increase in students' cumulative SAT scores and a 15% improvement in AP Biology and AP Computer Science scores. I am genuinely dedicated to excelling in a STEM-related field and have been fortunate to be involved in founding and directing the international computer science competition, "OHacksIO," which brought together over 300...

...of teaching and tutoring experience, including one year teaching ESL at a Kindergarten in Chiang Mai, Thailand, three years teaching ESL at a cram school for students in elementary, middle, and high school in Taipei, Taiwan, and two years teaching creative writing to undergraduates at the University of Notre Dame. As someone who has studied Mandarin Chinese for three years, I understand the difficulty of acquiring a new language and the importance of immersion in...

...where the gaps are in their comprehension. One of my proudest accomplishments was teaching an algebra Regents repeater class for those who failed the test multiple times. I worked extensively with students to identify where they were struggling and remediating those areas (one example: I learned a student didn't actually understand how negative numbers operated and so they were constantly tripping up in arithmetic). We achieved about a 90% pass rate in the course and...

...Masters of Arts in Teaching English. I tutor a wide range of subjects, although I am most passionate about English, Spanish, and Writing. I am an advocate of student-centered tutoring, and my goal is to support and guide students so that they have the satisfaction and confidence of knowing how to think through a problem and reach the correct answer. In my free time, I love to bake, read, play soccer, and act in plays.

I hold a Ph.D. in English, Creative Writing and Literature, from the University of Houston. I also hold degrees in Classics from Wesleyan University (B.A. with Honors) and Columbia University (M.A.).

My writing, poems and essays, has been published in the Southwest Review, Poetry, The Paris Review, Salamander, the Bennington Review, the Colorado Review, and in other journals...

...abstract concepts and content into real life situations or problems. This approach fosters an interdisciplinary vision of the subjects I teach, and has enabled me to successfully support students in a variety of academic subjects, such as language arts, math, and science. I love helping students see the connections and intersections between different subjects. I believe knowledge and skill in one subject can strengthen knowledge and skill in another, a belief that is reflected in...

...of complacency. I always want to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down...

...that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry, followed closely by Physics. I feel that anyone can learn anything as long as it is explained in a way that is conducive to them, and I aim to...

...independently complete a task they weren't able to before. This comes through in my tutoring. I utilize BST (behavior skills training) and a variety of best teaching practices from the field of ABA to help my students quickly master subjects to fluency. I am positive, I am patient, and I am skilled at working with students that need a little extra help or a slightly different approach to master knowledge. I would love to help...
