...than is trying to calculate a favorite quarterback's passer rating), and I have a particular passion for teaching grammar, as precise language is essential for clear and unambiguous communication of ideas. When not applying for college faculty positions, taking care of my toddler daughter, or tutoring, I enjoy hiking in beautiful locales, watching basketball, doing crossword puzzles and playing Scrabble, being a coffee snob, and singing Baroque choral works (currently a tenor in the Pasadena...

...and a Film minor. I grew up in Orange County, CA and started tutoring my fellow students before I even hit high school! I've had the opportunity to help students ranging from middle school to college level. While history is (pretty obviously!) my favorite area of study, many of my students are working on standardized tests (SAT, ACT, AP.) We've also covered English grammar and writing, Literature, statistics, college admissions, Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry,...

...preparation. I prefer a student-centered approach to tutoring: I get to know a student and work with them to develop ways of understanding a subject on their own terms (and writing in their own expressive voice) instead of telling them what the "correct" method or answer is. I take learning very seriously, but I prefer a comfortable, laid back and humorous teaching style and learning environment rather than an uptight or stressful one. On my...

...and science, because I think that too many students are told that they're hard or not fun. In my sessions, I always try to relate what we're learning back to something my student is interested in. I really enjoy sharing my love for learning, and I always make sure to keep it fun and informative. Outside of tutoring, I have directed several plays and a feature film. In my spare time, I like to bake...

...now. I enjoy the richness of the English language and even the challenge of following all of the rules, punctuation, etc. The job of a writing coach is also very important. While we all learn from getting feedback about our composition, we also want to work with a tutor that can help us express our own ideas well. I am interested in helping each client with the key skills that will help them along their...

...of Language & Literature tutoring French, mostly focusing on individual sessions mixed with monthly group meetings to practice conversation skills. My passion for the language began in high school and I've been hooked ever since; I was even fortunate enough to spend a summer studying abroad in Angers, France. Other subjects that I enjoy tutoring include: writing skills (especially as they pertain to essays), grammar & mechanics, reading and study skills & organization. I love...

...teaching both public and private school. I've worked with students who are gifted, students who are English learners, students with special needs, and students that appear "average" but really just need an extra boost of individual support to excel! My favorite subject is English literature--and grammar, essay writing, critical reading--anything that has to do with the English language, in fact! I have tutored K-8 ELA and 9th-12th grade students in all arenas, from British and American...

...a double-major in Philosophy and Religious Studies. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, California and have been living there ever since. I love and enjoy tutoring English, Biology, Spanish, and Writing Skills, including how to develop and structure clear, precise, and concise essays. In the summer of 2012 I went to a Seminar in Philosophy of Science held at Cambridge University in England, UK., and studied the recent biological developments. I've worked with...

I'm a Human Biology major at Scripps College in Claremont, CA. This is my second year tutoring, and I've tutored ages 5 to 19 in subjects such as math, literature, standardized testing, geometry, Chinese, physics, and biology.

...students in both New York City and Los Angeles, and across a variety of subjects, age levels, and abilities. I've also conducted research on teaching, learning, and student preparedness in the community college context. Writing is by far my favorite subject. It allows me to understand and nurture a student's creativity and imagination- which always leads to some amazing conversations- yet it also allows me to simultaneously sharpen students' communication and critical thinking skills. Aside...
