Award-Winning PSAT Tutors serving Kirkland, WA

...in the public school system, so math and I have become close friends! In my teaching and tutoring, I love using question strategies to help learn where my students are at in their math skills and to help them to continue to grow in them. Hopefully with me as your tutor, you will learn to like (or dislike) math a little more than you do now! When I am not working with students, I love...

...an eighth grade student in the ISEE, and I have tutored high school students in SAT/ACT as well. I love working with students on both STEM subjects and humanities, as my major encompasses both fields almost equally. Now that I've graduated with a degree in architecture, I'm also interested in helping architecture students learn the programs necessary to succeed in the major, including Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, and modeling softwares such as Rhino and SketchUp....

...at the answers to a question you got wrong on a test and realized that you knew how to find the answer you just made a simple mistake. I can help you make less of those mistakes, and that is where the most significant short term growth can be made.

...eases students' fear of asking questions or making mistakes themselves. I take these approaches to foster a sense of collaboration by communicating that I, the teacher, am not on a different level than the students. Instead, we work together. I learn about my students' interests outside of science, their motivations, their backgrounds, and their plans for the future. Building these relationships and inspiring young people is why I am excited to be a tutor.

...a summer study abroad learning about social justice in India. My last quarter of college was an internship teaching ESL in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. While I love studying literature of all genres, I feel the most impactful literary experience is one that deeply resonates with the reader, and inspires them to write their own stories. This is why I am an advocate for detailed, creative, and personal essay writing. The most powerful essay or piece of...

...on my profile. I have tutored a wide age-range; from pre-k to college and everything between. I was a tutor in several capacities throughout my years at school, and have continued to tutor and teach since then. I really enjoy helping students grow their own sense of self-confidence and watching them grasp the material. Sometimes all it takes is a little extra explanation that is hard to get in the classroom when the teacher is...

...worked with students who have been diagnosed with some form of learning difference. Much of my time with the tutoring company included not only me being responsible with administrative duties, but also the tact to help students find their own learning styles. My goal is to give my students the confidence to be risk takers. To take challenges in stride and find connections with what they're learning to what they love. I am a tutor...

I transferred from Carleton College, where I focused on economics and was also able to take a wide range of liberal arts courses. I have been tutoring since high school when I was a peer STEM tutor and continued to tutor various subjects through college including Math and English.

...with a 3.6 cumulative GPA. I thoroughly enjoy math and applying mathematical methods to the real world, in particular through the study of physics. One of my greatest strengths in this regard is my ability to approach a problem from multiple angles. If the first approach I suggest for a problem isn't clear to a student, I can usually come up with an alternate, sometimes more intuitive way of addressing the same problem. Recreationally, I...

I've helped students overcome academic challenges, boost their confidence, and achieve measurable progress.

My goal is not only to help students succeed academically but also to instill a lifelong love of learning.

...to engage with learners by having a positive attitude and making learning fun. When learning is engaging and fun, I find that the material is more memorable and some of the stress of testing is removed, and to this end I try to incorporate games as much as possible. I like to give the students ample space to show me what they do already know, something that is illuminating to me as a tutor and...

...independent research project looking for West Nile Virus in bird specimens from the Joseph Moore Museum of Natural History. I traveled extensively in college, all on biology-focused abroad programs, visiting East Africa, Ecuador, the Galapagos islands, and the Bahamas. I also studied the plant and animal life here in North America. As a tutor and teaching assistant, I did group and individual tutoring, sometimes working with a student only once or twice and other times...

I also worked at Mathnasium for two years. In lessons, I mainly focus on solving practice problems, so if you want to master a topic, I am excited to help!

...and Irish Gaelic. I read anything from classic novels to soup cans. I think learning in a subject is never complete, especially when it comes to learning a foreign language. As a student myself, I'm very in tune with the struggles of native English speakers in learning Japanese, and I think it is imperative to open oneself up to learning something new that may be outside of their comfort zone. Through the process of your...

I'm a graduate of Washington State University with a BA in English who is looking to help others expand their knowledge of literature. I find the analysis of literature to be very interesting and hope to inspire those I work with to feel the same way. I am most versed in early American literature but am familiar with many other types as well. I seek to promote close reading strategies and emphasis on aesthetic analysis.
