I believe that learning, like the rest of life, is meant to be savored. I personally do not enjoy learning information that I find boring, so I've made it my life goal to find a way to make everything interesting. My goal as an educator and as a human being is to find the wonder and humor in everything that I learn and teach. I would love to share this experience with you. I've spent over ten years educating informally as well as professionally in environments which range from K-12 classrooms and higher education to the zoo. I graduated with accolades from Florida State University with a degree in Biology, focused in Zoology, and am currently working on an MS in Biological Sciences at Texas A&M University Commerce. I love learning, and I think that together, we can make sure that you do, too! Outside of school I have tutored adult ESL students and worked as an editor in a writing center.Professionally, I worked for three years as an educator and keeper at the Fort Worth Zoo, bringing animals into classrooms and providing programming about them to the public. After working briefly as a science educator in Dallas, I began tutoring for Varsity tutors in subjects ranging from K-16 life sciences, mathematics, and ACT prep. For the past four years, I have worked as a program coordinator and educator, building hands-on STEM outreach programs and college-preparatory/remedial mathematics programs through federal grant projects in Dallas. I have personally reached over 10,000 students in the four years of my work with hands-on STEM programming, but my proudest accomplishments have been the bonds I've built with students who swear I've "converted" them to a life of STEM through our work together.As your tutor, I'd like to get to know you, your learning style and how we can work as a team to help you to reach your academic goals. I believe that the first step to success is the power of knowledge and there is no concept too complex or dry to be digested by any person. The key to learning is all in the presentation! When I am not teaching, I like to train animals, have adventures, run trails, and write short stories. My vices include baked chips and sour punch straws. I can make a mean lasagna and my mother thinks that I am very funny. Let's get together, talk about how we can help you to achieve your academic goals and enjoy the journey as well!

I am a military spouse of over 26 years. I've had the honor and privilege to move around the United States. I've taught in multiple states and many grades. This has created such a wealth of experiences as an educator. I've worked with preschool students all the way to adults. It brings me great joy to see my students grow and develop.

Hello! My name is Jaime Rakowski, or "Mrs. Rakowski" to my students. I am a graduate of Central Michigan University as well as Kennesaw State University. In the 8 years after I graduated from CMU with my Bachelors of Applied Arts in Child Development, I worked in many daycares as my husband and I moved for his job. During this time, I worked with infants-school aged children. After settling down here in Georgia, I went back to KSU to earn a second bachelors degree. This time it was a Bachelors of Science in Early Childhood Education. After graduating from KSU, I was hired to teach 3rd grade at the elementary school that I student taught for. I spent 3 years in 3rd grade and moved down to 2nd grade where I taught an additional 3.5 years. In early 2021, I also received my ESOL certification.Working with children from birth-5th grade, I have seen the huge importance of early childhood literacy. Early literacy has a major impact on a student's success in and out of the classroom. This is where my passion lies. But reading isn't the only thing that I love to teach! I also love math and social studies. Above all, I love to learn and I love to foster and build that love of learning within each of the students that I work with.

I'm a recent grad from Wesleyan University, where I've worked as a tutor, a teaching assistant, and a researcher. I've taught middle-schoolers how to program their own video games, interviewed monks in Minnesota, studied Dante under a world-class expert in Bologna, and edited transcripts on the history of philosophy since 300 BCE. I can proofread essays, perform long division, translate difficult texts, and find the derivative.Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, my plans were to attend Columbia's School of Social Work, where I was hoping to counsel foster youth. Unfortunately, I've had to defer my enrollment to Columbia, but I'm still just as passionate about education and child welfare as ever. My goal as a tutor is to share with my students an excitement for learning, as well as a sense of wonder for the infinite potential of the written word.

Hi! I am a current undergraduate studying both neuroscience and history! I have a passion for teaching and my biggest goal for my students is to walk away feeling confident about the subject material covered in the session. I aim to create an environment that fosters trust and comfort so students are never afraid to ask questions or tell me that they're completely lost and need me to reexplain. I also make really nerdy puns and provide funny stories to help create connections with subject material and make for a fun session!

I am currently finishing my last semester at Wayne State University, and will be graduating with a Bachelors in German and International Studies. I have tutoring experience with 8 and 9 year olds in Math and Science, as well as English tutoring for a 10 year old German student.The subjects I teach are German 1 to 4, and can help students on their way to learning a second language. My favorite subject to tutor is German, it has always been my favorite subject in school and I am always excited to teach others what I have learned. My various experiences studying abroad in Germany helped build my confidence in my speaking ability, and really gave me a new appreciation for the language.I believe that the best way to learn is to to teach. In my experience with tutoring so far, I have found that instructing a student is the best way to improve ones self. This is why much of my teaching strategies center around having the student teach the material back to me.When I'm not tutoring German I'm usually reading. I have a passion for literature of all kinds, and once I get talking about a good book it's hard for me to stop! Another hobby of mine is music, I play bass guitar and clarinet in my free time.I hope to be a help to anyone looking to improve their German speaking skills!

My passion for teaching stems from a philosophy instilled in me by my 4th grade teacher, 'anything worth doing, is worth doing well'. My goal for educating students is to challenge them to be curious, courageous, creative, and critical thinkers in order to empower children to take charge of their own success. Learning needs to be intentional, energetic, hilarious, focused, motivating, and inspiring, which requires passionate educators, such as myself, to create environments where all of this is possible. I approach education from a whole-child perspective. A student's success is not based solely on their academic achievement, but their social/emotional development, their relationships with their peers, family, surrounding community, culture, and world. This enveloping philosophy begins with developing a student's character, heart, intellect, and creativity equally; the things that resonate from their core, so that their success is not based purely on academic standing, but who they are as a person. I love each and every one of my students and I make sure they know and feel this in the way I relate to them. Their success is directly linked to my commitment to making it so.

Hello! I am currently applying for medical school and Masters programs related to medicine. I graduated from Texas A&M University in 2019 with a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical sciences and a minor in Neuroscience. Because my background and future goals are predominately math and science related, I feel I have a strong handle on these subjects. I have experience tutoring and mentoring College Station ISD middle school students through a pre-medical organization at Texas A&M. I helped those students in math subjects such as probability, geometry, and number operations, and in science subjects such as basic biology and chemistry concepts. I believe any student can succeed given the right resources and I am willing to help students accomplish their goals. I am flexible with timings and other needs so please contact me for further information.

I graduated from Rutgers University in 2013 with a B.A. in French and English, receiving High Honors for both majors. I've been tutoring students since my first semester there, starting with literature and composition and eventually tutoring students from all levels of the Rutgers writing program, as well as those students who needed help in my areas of expertise. For two years, I taught English in France as part of the TAPIF program by the French Ministry of National Education, and tutored other students privately; I am fluent in French and am adept in common ESOL teaching techniques, both in the classroom and in a less formal setting. I particularly love tutoring Writing and Composition, Literature, History, and French - especially when an interdisciplinary approach helps the student approach information in new ways - since these fields are where my academic expertise and my interests align. I truly want to share my love of language, history, and literature with my students. I'm also passionate about every student's right to an effective education, so my goal as a tutor is to consider each student's individual style of learning and to teach them practical skills they can carry back to the classroom, the exam, and beyond. In my spare time, I play the violin and the ukulele, write a lot, and go to the sea whenever I can.

I graduated from Bryn Mawr College, where I majored in Biology and concentrated in Public Health. I recently completed the 2015 MCAT and will be applying to medical school this spring. While in college, I interned at a maternity hospital in India, assisted in the development of community health programs in Philadelphia and taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to adult immigrants and students abroad. I also mentored middle school and undergraduate students with science and math courses. I am open to tutoring in a broad range of subjects, including Algebra, Spanish I/II, ESL and Biology (SAT II, AP, and MCAT).My tutoring style is personal and interactive. Learning as a student, I was deeply gratified by the teachers who inspired my interest in science and had the faith to invest in my talents. While teaching my own students, I have enjoyed instilling the same love of learning as well as an attitude to persevere through their own challenges. I acknowledge that every student faces his/her unique obstacles and understand that students learn at varying paces through different strategies. In my tutoring sessions, I go out of my way to get to know students to adapt activities to their learning styles and to help them reach their personal goals. Additionally, I like to make sessions hands-on. Having had an ESL class full of different language speakers, I have become creative at designing a variety of activities and visual aids to communicate concepts from different viewpoints. I have also successfully applied these learning strategies towards tutoring different scientific disciplines and continue to experiment with resourceful ways to make learning a fun, engaging experience.
