...finding the style of learning that is most effective for them. What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be able to determine when a student has fully grasped the concept. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and pets,...

...at one point you thought through how to present information in a form that is easier to visually interpret. The exact meaning of "prestidigitation" might elude you some day, but if you ran across this word on the SAT or the GRE, you likely had to learn how to infer tone and meaning using limited information. These skills are valuable and likely what you will retain throughout your life. This is why I care about...

...academic version of yourself. I want to teach you in a way that maximizes your retention and your understanding of the problem. I'm comfortable teaching psychology and US history, but I excel most at teaching standardized test-taking strategies. I can show you the best ways to approach GRE and SAT essays, and the fastest ways to recognize the correct answers in the reading, writing and verbal sections. I'm based out of Tacoma, but I'll travel...

...am working towards a BS in Economics with concentrations in Business Analytics and Management. During my fall semester I was one of 14 students from the freshman class nominated to be a peer tutor in the Writing Center.

I especially enjoying...

...that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also need to teach our students how they can become their own teachers and succeed on their own. Hence, I want my students not just to do well in their math classes or exams, but I also want them to be able to...

...enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding 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...

...I was an undergraduate, and I have also tutored older elementary school students, middle school students, and high school students. Most of my students are aiming for scores that will help them get into highly selective universities. Some of my students also have ADHD, autism, or communication disorders. All of my students expect to work very hard in order to achieve their goals. In my free time, I like to watch foreign and independent films,...

...an after-school program serving Somali refugees and as a monitor at a French bilingual school, I have immersed myself in the region's splendid diversity. This work as an educator has given me experience developing age-appropriate lessons in a variety of areas, including Reading, Writing, Science, and Math. My cultural agility is the result of interactions with students of various nationalities and socioeconomic backgrounds. Although I would be delighted to tutor many subjects, my passion is...

...convinced myself that the life of a small college professor, including running a small research lab and teaching classes, would bring me the most satisfaction. During my time at Harvard, however, I saw that the realities of academic science conflicted with my earlier vision of life as an academic scientist. My time at a fast-paced research-focused institution highlighted those conflicts and has motivated me to pursue teaching the sciences to high school students. Students have...

...educational backgrounds up to college level. I love helping students learn to craft an argument, chose their thesis and points, and build a structured, polished essay. I believe all students bring a unique and important perspective to their writing, and my job is helping them find their voice. In my free time, I work as an audio engineer, help out with gardening and cooking at my co-op house, and read widely and enthusiastically.
