From tutoring general biology undergrads to founding Marquette's Brain Brigade — where she designed hands-on neuroscience demos specifically for middle schoolers — Elise has been teaching this age group since well before medical school. Her science background is the obvious strength, but years at Huntington Learning Center meant she also covered reading, writing, and math for the same students, so she's used to handling a full evening's homework spread in one sitting. Rated 4.9 by families.

I am a graduate of Harvard University. I received a dual Bachelor of Arts in Astrophysics and Earth & Planetary Science. After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked full-time as a post-baccalaureate researcher at Columbia University's Astrophysics Laboratory in New York City. Currently, I'm working toward a PhD in Exploration Systems Design at Arizona State University. I first starting tutoring in high school and have continued for nearly a decade since. I have tutored many students across all levels of mathematics from the elementary to the undergraduate level. Additionally, I have tutored several students in astronomy at the undergraduate level. Calculus is my favorite topic to tutor, as I find the concepts to be incredibly fun to both learn and teach. In addition to tutoring, I also worked as a multivariable calculus teaching assistant for the Harvard Mathematics Department. I firmly believe that anyone can learn math. There's no such things as a "math person." It's just a matter of finding the right teacher. Outside of my academic pursuits, I also enjoy flying single-engine airplanes, writing screenplays, playing a relaxing game of golf, and training in martial arts.
I am especially committed to supporting first-generation college students, those for whom English is a second language, and working adults as they navigate the challenges of higher ed. Nevertheless, I have taught and mentored graduate students at Harvard and talented undergrads in a variety of disciplines and welcome helping with theses. In addition to teaching, I have a background in publishing and editing, and have been a writer since childhood. Language creates reality, and interpreting and using it well opens many doors. I delight to see students realize their capacities and expand their universe.
I am a recent graduate from Arizona State University. I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelors in philosophy. I will be attending the Sandra Day O’Connor College of Law in the fall of 2012. I have always been successful in academics and enjoy school thoroughly. I have also served as a Military Police Officer for the Arizona Army National Guard for over four years.
I have over two years of tutoring and teaching experience at Case Western Reserve University. I served as a Supplemental Instructor for ENGR 145 (Chemistry of Materials), where I created worksheets, led review sessions, and helped students develop strong conceptual foundations. I later worked as a Teaching Assistant for ENGR 210 (Circuits and Instrumentation), grading assignments and assisting students with hands-on circuit building and lab work. As a Biomedical Engineering major on the pre-med track, I specialize in tutoring pre-health and engineering courses, including General and Physical Chemistry, Math, Biology, Physics, and Anatomy and Physiology. I also provide MCAT preparation in the B/B, C/P, and P/S sections. My teaching approach focuses on clear explanations, active problem-solving, and adapting to each student's learning style. I strive to make challenging material approachable while helping students build confidence and independent learning skills.
I am a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. Throughout all four years of high school, I tutored my peers in subjects such as chemistry, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Passionate about sharing my learning with younger students in the community, I was also a primary instructor for the Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I spent three years teaching math and reading to students who ranged from pre-K to 12th grade. Additionally, as an assistant instructor for the Arizona Science Center's Camp Innovation, I empowered youth by delivering science programming to children between the ages of four and seven. Through such experiences, I've realized the impact that I can have as a tutor.
I am a rising 2L working towards my law degree at Arizona State. I specialize in helping students with Reading and Writing skills. My focus is on creating study habits and techniques that are tailored towards a student's learning style and ability. I'm here to help students succeed in any way that I can by using my own academic experiences. Outside of the classroom, I love sports, hiking, and travel.
I am a fan of the "Pomodoro Technique," which uses a timer to split each half hour of the session into a 25 minute work period followed by a 5 minute break. The promise of a short respite helps students power through distractions, and the break helps ward off frustration.
I am currently pursuing my M.A. in Mathematics Education through Northern Arizona University. Of course I love to teach math, especially to those students that have a history of hating it, but English is also a great passion and strength of mine. Outside of teaching, I am the sponsor of my school's Korean Club, I coach the varsity pom team, I choreograph the school musicals, and I am a member of a small dance company, so I have a high respect for the arts as well.
I'm a 24-year old teacher/tutor. I am a very personable, outgoing person and I enjoy making connections with others- especially when I can make people feel comfortable no matter what the setting- and I find that those who have less to say usually have the most important things to say! Tutoring provides me with a platform in which I am able to help others gain confidence in their work and watch them discover abilities they may not have known that they have. Above all, this is what I most love about tutoring and teaching.
I am a graduate of Williams College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Since graduation, I have worked a wide variety of jobs: organic farm manager, solar panel installer, sous chef at a renowned restaurant, founder of a music cooperative in downtown Phoenix and, most recently, multi-instrumentalist in a band that tours all over the world. Obviously, my interests are broad. I view every personal endeavor as a fundamentally educational experience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, history, philosophy, and Spanish (which I learned to speak while studying philosophy in Argentina). I really enjoy working with students to sharpen written assignments. Even the best writers require editing! I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy making music, travel, and reading.
I'm enjoying my time at home and getting to explore questions of interest to me.
I am also very good at communicating scientific and mathematical concepts in refreshing and understandable ways.
I am currently a graduate student at NYU pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. Before moving to New York, I completed my undergraduate degree at Stevenson University in Baltimore. During this time, I worked as a peer tutor for three and a half years, covering subjects such as math, writing skills, and psychology. While at Stevenson I also helped to pilot a program that worked with at risk students to strengthen their study skills and motivation.
I am a graduate of Ohio University, Athens, Ohio. I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Geological Sciences, and also attended Graduate classes while enrolled there. Additionally, I have a Bachelor of Science Degree in Computer Sciences from American Sentinel University in Birmingham, Alabama. I have tutored students on many occasions in a variety of subjects. My strengths, however, lie in math and science. I have worked with students of varying ages, from grade school through high school level. My greatest satisfaction is working with a student when they 'get it', understanding a concept that had been confusing or uncertain. While this can be gradual or sudden, you can really see it when it makes sense. I also enjoy helping students prepare for Standardized Tests. My goal is to help them advance, while keeping the material interesting. It is also my hope that I can help students reduce the stress they may feel when preparing to take these tests. I believe that if you continue to learn throughout your life, you will always be growing.
I'm a rising sophomore at Georgia Institute of Technology. I love teaching and got a lot of practice from tutoring my brother. Physics is probably my favorite subject to teach.
I am always looking for new approaches to benefit every student better.
I am teaching, all that matters is working together toward those goals. Watching my students grow empowers me to better myself and strive for personal growth. Tutoring has also taught me that teaching is not just utilitarian. We need teachers, certainly, and teachers serve the purpose of educating. But teachers can also be mentors. Some of the people I most respect and admire, most strive to emulate, most love, have been teachers and tutors. As a tutor I am invested not just in imparting information and understanding, but in my students' well-being and happiness. I look at students as every human deserves to be looked at: holistically.
I am a very patient and understanding person. I speak clearly and always make sure I can help the student find a way to understand the material, even if it means deviating form normal techniques. I have tutored both kids and peers in the past. I have found that for kids, especially in mathematics, relating to something they enjoy makes the experience more enjoyable. Regarding peers/college level students, I can relate to them very well, because I have been through exactly what they're going through and I believe the number one trait is patience. I never rush a student and treat them with the utmost respect.
I am a great candidate to help you progress your learning and advance your thinking.
I am a Notre Dame alumna and an Arizona State alumna, where I received my Masters in Social Work. I am from Milwaukee, WI, and moved out to Phoenix 9 years ago.
I am currently attending the University of Houston in pursuit of a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in History. I have tutored students previously in history and mathematics (especially algebra). Along with history and mathematics I am also available to tutor Spanish I, Spanish II, Biology, and SAT/ACT prep! I really enjoy tutoring in history and math because many students find these subjects to be difficult. The feeling when a student finally understands a concept that they were previously having difficulty with is amazing, and I love seeing a student's face brighten up when they achieve this new understanding. As many students have different learning styles, I believe that it is important to create an individualized study plan for each student that best fits their method of learning and allows us to make the most of the tutoring experience. In my free time I thoroughly enjoy curling up with a good book. Currently, I have a list of 20 must read books that I am trying to work my way through. I worked as a barista for a long time and because of this another of my hobbies is to find new coffee shops that I can use as a new study spot or to simply read in. I have also recently begun practicing hot yoga, which I have found to be extremely relaxing!
I am a Math and Science expert, and I would love to help you or your student reach their potential. I offer flexible hours, I am easy to get along with, and I have effective methods. I take pride in helping others learn. I have a BS in mechanical engineering so there isn't a high school or college math class I haven't taken. I'm a Physics dork as well! Outside of tutoring, I love the outdoors, sports (especially the Cardinals and Suns!), and science-fiction. I look forward to working with you!
I am studying Chemical Biology in UC Berkeley. One of my passions is Organic Chemistry, which I used to loath but now enjoys after taking a year of it. Also, because I like helping others, I enjoys tutoring/teaching students who are struggling. During high school, I have tutored other high students after school on various subjects such as Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Latin. During college, I have held informal review sessions for General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry for my underclassmen. I tutored my roommate and one of my underclassmen in Organic Chemistry. Finally, with a Graduate Student TA, I co-taught a Organic Chemistry Lab class section , where I answer questions regarding lab material and demonstrate lab techniques. Currently, I am interested in tutoring Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Biochemistry, Physics, and Calculus

Frequently Asked Questions
The jump from elementary to middle school involves significant changes—students move from one classroom to multiple teachers, more complex organizational demands, and increased independence in their learning. Many students struggle with time management, note-taking across different classes, and adapting to varying teacher expectations. Personalized tutoring can help students develop these critical skills during the transition, building confidence and stronger foundational knowledge that makes success in subsequent classes easier.
This depends on your student's needs and goals. Some students benefit from focused support in their most challenging subject—like mathematics or English—to build core skills that improve performance across all classes. Others need help balancing multiple subjects. A tutor can assess where your student would see the most impact and create a personalized plan. Many students start with one subject and expand as their confidence and grades improve.
Tutors working with students in Phoenix are familiar with the standards and expectations across Arizona's school districts. Whether your student attends a Phoenix Union, Paradise Valley, or other local district school, tutors can adapt their approach to match your school's specific curriculum, textbooks, and assessment formats. This alignment helps students not only understand concepts but also perform better on tests and assignments specific to their classroom.
Absolutely. Beyond subject content, tutors can teach effective study strategies like note-taking systems, test preparation techniques, reading comprehension methods, and time management. These habits are crucial in middle school, where students juggle multiple classes and assignments. Personalized tutoring allows tutors to address your student's specific challenges—whether they struggle with procrastination, organization, or test anxiety—and build skills that extend far beyond tutoring sessions.
Middle school students often take standardized assessments like AIMS (Arizona's state test) and may prepare for entrance exams for selective high schools or gifted programs. Tutors can help students understand test formats, develop problem-solving strategies specific to standardized questions, practice with sample tests, and build confidence. Personalized instruction targets your student's specific weaknesses, whether that's reading comprehension, math problem-solving, or test-taking stamina.
Not at all. Many students who are performing well benefit from tutoring to challenge themselves further, prepare for honors or advanced classes, or dive deeper into subjects they're passionate about. Whether your student needs support to build foundational skills, wants to move from a B to an A, or is ready for advanced concepts, tutors can personalize instruction to meet them where they are and help them reach their goals.
The ideal frequency depends on your student's goals, current performance, and learning pace. Some students benefit from weekly sessions to reinforce classroom learning, while others do well with bi-weekly meetings. For students preparing for a test or working to catch up, more frequent sessions can accelerate progress. A tutor can recommend a schedule and adjust it as your student improves, ensuring you're making the most of tutoring investment.
