Award-Winning SAT Tutors in Seattle, WA

...their difficulties. I try to challenge students to critically engage with their material, as well as providing examples and supplemental materials that are suited to their learning style, allowing them to approach the subject from multiple angles until they find one that works for them. I believe in patience, but I also believe that if something is not working, there is another method out there that can work, and we should use it. If a...

...neuroscience (the study of how we form and access memories). My interest in neuroscience fuels my philosophy of education. I think all students have a profound capacity to learn and my role as an educator is to help the student unlock their potential. In my time as a teacher and even during my own education, I had the opportunity to work with many peers and students to help them reach their goals. Most of my...

I recently graduated from the University of Washington's rigorous Mechanical Engineering program. I have over a year of professional tutoring experience. This includes experience with middle school, high school, and college students. It also includes experience tutoring students with various learning disorders and attention/retention issues, as well as students who are very quick to learn.

...MO. I've loved science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my...

I have been tutoring adults since 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...

...always 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...

...At UW, I was a Pre-Med student, so I am very familiar with Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and other sciences. I also have spent the past few summers tutoring students in Reading and Writing and am able to help with everything from college essays and writing assignments to skills for standardized tests. I'm happy to work with a range of ages and will do my best to help make sessions as useful as possible.

...Center. I am taking a course on tutoring and it has given me deeper insights into different types of communication with students and how to personalize the experience for each person that I work with. I especially enjoying tutoring disciplines in math such as Calculus as well as helping to prepare students for standardized tests such as the SAT. I am excited to work with students on a diverse array of topics!!

...is to work through examples with the student, guiding them along the way with questions meant to help them think about the problem and come to their own understanding of the material. Teaching, to me, is a dialog. My role is to help you learn the material in a way that works with how you process information. I teach high school and college level mathematics, and I also help with test prep for GRE and...

...with other engineers, pouring over plans and specifications on an old, shaky, dented, metal work desk. The liability that came with the job meant he found himself at times in various lawyers' offices. He recalled the stark differences between workspaces, exemplified by a rich mahogany desk, polished and intricately carved. Inspiration can come from the most unexpected sources, and this became mine. Not for the creature comforts that luxury items provide, but the vastly different...

Not to mention my tutoring experience--in college I tutored high schoolers in all subjects, from math and science to text prep and history. As...

...they are. Often all it takes is somebody to point out the similarity between that difficult subject you're struggling with and a concept that you already know and are strong in to click on that lightbulb of comprehension. My life's passion is to do just this: to make STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields more accessible to more people, especially those who don't think they're up to the task. I am passionate about our...

...I am more than capable of teaching any and all sections of the SAT or ACT and any related academic subjects (math until precalculus, English grammar, composition and writing). My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry! It allows me to explain how a lot of things work, and I enjoy relating the behavior of atoms and molecules to the characteristics of everyday things. Science is best when its concepts are understood and observed beyond the...

...for students of all disciplines, and indeed for all people who are involved in the difficult process of navigating human relationships. Achieving this precision, however, easier said than done. As a tutor, I am committed to helping students express themselves with as much creativity and uninhibitedness as possible while also staying true to the constraints of the English language. I believe that I am able to do this by employing the conversational method of pedagogy:...
