After having been through the stresses of applying for colleges, grad schools, and other types of programs, to give back and ensure that you have the tools and skills necessary to reach your academic goals. I have taught and tutored a variety of core subjects for many years, and am happy to share knowledge and best practices for successful preparation!

I am Ed, the Educator and Entrepreneur! I love working with students of all levels and building critical thinking and reasoning skills!

...over 15 years of teaching experience at the college level, where I taught a wide variety of physical therapy topics and a majority of our graduating classes had a 100% first time pass rate on their board exam. As a tutor, I provide students with a detailed schedule and materials to study each week to keep them on track, followed by weekly quizzes to hold them accountable. I also enjoy helping people of all ages...

...students through my high school's tutoring program. I mainly tutor in Math and Spanish (specifically Algebra 1, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 2 and Spanish 1-4). I would describe my teaching style as very different depending on the student I am tutoring because I aim to find the best method of teaching that is most beneficial to each student! Aside from Academics, I enjoy being outdoors, painting, volunteering, playing with my dog, and crocheting! Most of all, I...

...getting my master's, I joined Teach For America and taught high school English for two years. Most recently, I taught composition and developmental English at Penn Valley Community College. My approach to tutoring is non-directive. I ask questions to help guide students to answers, which helps them practice critical thinking skills and deduction, rather than rote memorization. Overall, this leads to a greater understanding of concepts and a better ability to recall information and perform...

...is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point. In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become clearer through more examples of it, or from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click"....

...was not. My eventual goal was (and still is) to earn a teaching certificate, but that is still a ways off. What else could I do? An idea hit me. Just because I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do. I...

...of practice working with children, as demonstrated through my many years of teaching. I am genuinely interested in this position because I am confident my skills and hands-on experience match the demands for this position and believe it will help me develop necessary skills for my future in the medical field. I am looking to interact with many people and help them through difficult times in their education. The feeling of the unknown is extremely...

...science. I know firsthand how frustrating and time-consuming it can be to study science, and I love helping students master difficult concepts and gain confidence. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT, ACT, and GRE. It can be particularly challenging to raise verbal, English, and reading scores on these exams, but it can be accomplished with lots of practice and with strategies tailored to each individual student.

...native who enjoys rock climbing and nature. I work currently for a large international engineering consulting company and specialize in water engineering. I am a strong believer than learning occurs in a much different way than the traditional lecture method given in schools. Schools are teaching hard facts and not showing students how subjects can be applied to real life. Students miss out on many wonderful realizations in their daily lives because they don't understand...

...ended up focusing on art and ancient cultures. I have a Bachelor of Arts in art history and am a PhD candidate at Yale University, where I am completing an iconographic and photogrammetric survey of ancient Maya architecture on the Yucatan Peninsula. Along the way I have travelled in Africa and Latin America, lived in Mexico--where I studied as a Fulbright Scholar--and in Canada, where I taught at McGill University. I started teaching test-prep classes...

...and understand. Learning is so much more fun if it is relevant to things we already love. I also try to create hands-on experiences that we can hold, move, and arrange as we talk about math: we have to get up off the worksheet. Making Kool-aid is a much more understandable (and delicious) way to learn about ratios than just doing practice problems out of a book. If I am relating math to my own...

...minor in materials science and engineering. I primarily tutor subjects in math and science because I love helping students break through obstacles to understanding tough concepts. I believe that sometimes all it takes to tackle a difficult problem is a fresh perspective, which is how I like to approach my tutoring sessions. I love to hike, I'm an avid board game player, and I'm currently teaching myself to play guitar - it's going pretty well,...

...that any student can become a grade A student with help of a tutor or a mentor. Through my tutoring experiences, I have been able to see students go from failing classes to understanding and discovering new concepts in classes. I am able to relate to students, as I was a student myself. Education is a key element for success later in life and if we do not provide a strong backbone for our kids,...

I have 25 years of experience as a Math and Physics teacher and am an expert in making difficult concepts comprehensible to students. I take great satisfaction from helping students succeed. I have taught everything from middle school math and science to 12th grade, including AP Calculus, IB Mathematics Higher Level, IB ToK, IB Extended Essay and have extensive experience tutoring students preparing for the SAT and ACT exams.

I am a junior at the University of Kansas studying Mathematics. I will be tutoring math up to Calculus I (or AP Calculus AB); I will also be tutoring the entirety of the ACT.

...graduate degree in mathematics education. Last year, in 2020, I graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a degree in mathematics and have since spent extensive time educating K-12 youth both in-person and through various virtual platforms throughout the United States. Moreover, as an educator within the Baltimore Public School District, I understand the importance of education and have been exposed to and benefited from a wide range of teaching pedagogies and educational perspectives. To...

...a B.A. in Mathematics & Statistics, an M.A. in Teaching, and ongoing graduate work in math, I've spent over 20 years in the classroom and more than 30 years tutoring learners from sixth grade through AP Statistics. I quickly pinpoint skill gaps, then use patient, real-world explanations and step-by-step reasoning to rebuild foundations so every new concept clicks. My goal is to replace math anxiety with the satisfying moment of "I get it!"

...This understanding led me to majoring in chemistry. With all of the analytical science under my belt, the math just came naturally. Minoring in mathematics made sense because of the critical role the subject plays in chemistry. I can tutor students with topics such as: chemistry, physical science, quantitative analysis, laboratory techniques, arithmetic, pre-algebra, SAT math preparation, algebra 1 and 2, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and both differential and integral calculus. As a current college student, I...
