Award-Winning Reading Tutors in Everett, WA

...I love to teach and work with the Pacific Science Center as a Communication Fellow. I attended Stanford University for both my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Biology, with a minor in Chemistry. While there, I researched the immune system and how asthma and allergies develop. After college I managed a summer camp where I developed my love of working with people and the mountains. In my free time, I can be found hiking, backpacking,...

...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 focusing on so many students at once. My style is pretty laid-back. I'm friendly and patient, and I will do what I can to help you as long as you are willing to help yourself. I love using nemonic devices that help keep vocab or other concepts...

...I am very passionate about education, especially topics like biology, chemistry, and math. I believe that learning is a process, and students must be patient to understand this to be successful. I also currently tutor a sixth grader in time management, organizational skills and adjusting to more difficult topics in school. In June, I hope to be starting graduate school to get my Master's degree in teaching math and science. With this, I plan to...

...My school experience has encompassed private and public school, home schooling, and parent-teacher co-ops. I began tutoring as a freshman in high school, and have continued to tutor elementary through high school levels of math, reading, writing, English, chemistry, Spanish, and history. I tend to offer a lot of math assistance, but I love tutoring in the humanities as they are closely related to real people! I believe in the importance of not only learning...

I have a master's degree in history and a master's degree in psychology. As a tutor, I do my best to be: patient, understanding, creative, and hardworking. Each student is unique and thus arrives with his or her own set of challenges and strengths; I strive to encounter the student where they are at....

...questions, the heart to care for those around them, and a love for learning. I will strive to help my students become successful, not only in their studies, but also in their path to becoming responsible, caring adults. This is my goal as an educator. As John Steinbeck once wrote, “I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great...

...students who are motivated and engaged. My strengths are in reading, writing, and English. I love stories and I love explaining concepts in an accessible way. I believe in holding students to the highest reasonable standards - I don't expect students to perform beyond their current capacity or understanding, but I do expect students to try and to produce their best work-effort. I also believe that learning can and should be fun, and that students...

For four years I taught English in Japan to grades K-9, and what I learned was most important in teaching is to simply have a relationship with the children and be patient. Not everyone learns in the same way or at the same rate, and it's sometimes just an issue of finding a method that clicks. ... My teaching philosophy is to lead the student through the problem, and, as much as possible, to let the student discover the answer on their own.

...minor in Architecture. Since graduation I worked for an online learning company, helping produce and edit their high school math curriculum. Additionally, I taught SAT Prep for a private tutoring company and a student success center in Brooklyn. Those experiences complemented my previous work for other companies in Math, Reading, and an academic journal. As a professional editor, I enjoy reading student writing and making concrete recommendations for improvement in grammar, logical flow, tone, and...
