Elizabeth

College English Tutor • +41 Subjects

You learn best what you love best. That's about as philosophical as I get when it comes to tutoring. Take me, for example. I love students. I love watching their eyes light up when they "get it" for the first time. I love discovering their little quirks, what makes them tick, and what gets them pumped about life. Essentially, I love learning about YOU. That's what I'm here for - I'm excited to learn about you, so that I can help you get excited about learning! I promise, it isn't as cliche as it sounds. Seriously, think about that thing you can't wait to do - that thing that gets you out of bed in the morning, and hangs out in your brain whenever you have a spare minute. Know what that is? That's called Passion. Whether or not you realize it, you've got passion. Everybody does, for one thing or another. I'm here to help you connect that passion to your learning. Think I'm up for it? Let's chat!

College Application Essays Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a graduate of New York University where I received my BFA in Film and Television with a minor in Business, Entertainment, Media, and Technology. My curriculum had a strong focus on liberal arts, which I apply to my tutoring every day. I cover a range of subjects including Language Arts, High School, and College Essay Editing, and even career-focused skills such as Powerpoint and Public Speaking. I truly enjoy helping students and I take pride in helping them reach their full potential. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching movies.

College English Tutor • +43 Subjects

My approach to tutoring is very-much centered around personalization: I'm interested to know what your hobbies are, what kind of music you listen to, and what kinds of television shows and movies you enjoy. I strongly believe that engagement with any topic, even if a student is not keen on it to begin with, can be made interesting by relating it to their interests outside of academia. For example, the relationship between popular culture today and 19th century literature might not be immediately apparent, but so many things--from serialized television to pop music to superheroes and superhero movies--continue to feel the influences of earlier periods and forms (like the novel, poetry, nonfiction, and even literary celebrity of the 19th C). Additionally, I am familiar with numerous approaches to teaching composition and would be able to customize tutoring sessions to fit a wide range of student ability.I hold a PhD in English with a Graduate Certificate in Gender Studies from the University of Southern California. My dissertation was on the topic of slackers in popular film, television, and literature from the 1980s to the present, and traces the contemporary slacker's origins to 19th century literature and literary figures (such as Herman Melville's "Bartleby" and Oscar Wilde). While I was at USC I taught "Writing and Critical Reasoning," an introductory college composition course, for their Writing Program for seven and a half years. The course's themes ranged from "Black Social Movements in the U.S.," "Race, Gender, Sexuality and Popular Culture," and "Exploring Ethnicity Through Film" to "Environmental Ethics," "Contemporary Moral Issues," and "Education and Intellectual Development." I have extensive experience working with non-humanities majors (Business, Communications, Engineering, etc.) as well as non-native English speakers.I also have experience teaching English (grades 9-12) at Immaculate Heart High School, an all girls' Catholic private school, in Los Angeles, CA. During my time there I taught English I (9th Grade), American Literature (10th Grade), and Monster's in Literature (12th Grade).

Daniel

Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a graduate of Texas A&M University with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. I have been tutoring others since high school, and I enjoy the problem-solving process. Since graduation, I have continued tutoring in math and reading. I challenge my students on a daily basis to make sure they are familiar with the material and the purpose of learning it. When they are struggling to comprehend the material, I try to give them clues and tips on what information may be relevant or how to properly approach the problem. The most important part of tutoring is having fun learning. I always try to include some type of small activity that will help engage the students to participate. I believe education is essential, improving the quality of life for yourself and others. The subjects I can tutor include math from high school to college, computer programing (C, C++), basic computer skills, science from high school to college, and Electrical Engineering. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math and Electrical Engineering. I have always loved math since elementary school, and electrical engineering has piqued my interest in future innovations of the world. In my spare time, I enjoy building computers, working out, gaming, and fixing technology devices that may need maintenance or new parts.

Laura

ACT Prep Tutor • +59 Subjects

I am currently a first year graduate student at Columbia's Mailman School of Public Health working towards my Masters in Public Health in environmental health sciences. For my undergraduate, I attended Fordham University and received a Bachelors degree in both biology and anthropology. I know how difficult advanced science and math classes can be on top of other studies, and I am really looking to work through these issues with potential students. I am available for sessions in biology, chemistry, physics, as well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT, and ACT prep. I have ample experience with academic writing, so I can work with students through many different types of assessments. I know that the subjects I tutor can be frustrating and difficult at time, so I believe in low pressure tutoring where we can delve into the material and move at whatever pace the student needs.

Jacob

AP Computer Science Principles Tutor • +6 Subjects

I have always been a huge fan of helping others and computer science, so I thought that I might as well combine the two! I have always been looking for opportunities to help others around me, including tutoring and volunteer activities. This has been a part of me for as long as I can remember, and I have been tutoring students that surround me since before High School.I'm currently is college as a freshman, going towards a major in computer science, software development, and a minor in sociology. I love the wide range of uses that computer science can be implemented into, and I absolutely enjoy learning how others see problems before them and how they proceed in getting through that problem.With all of that being said, I will be tutoring a variety of computer science languages and subjects, such as Java, C++, and Ap computer science classes.I tend to take the first quarter of the very first tutor session to get to know who I will be tutoring in order to gear lessons towards something they can easily digest. I like to include activities or subjects that they may enjoy into lessons in order for the students to more accurately, and actively, learn their lesson. This also helps keep the student focused on their subject and even make the tutoring session enjoyable!
