...up, and creativity is not instantly fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e., the kind given on SATs, ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have also done a fair amount...

I am able to determine what obstacles are preventing a student from grasping a concept, and create different means of overcoming those obstacles. Creating a partnership with the student and understanding what he or she needs to overcome is what makes me a great tutor. ... I would talk with the student and/or his or her parents to learn what each hopes to achieve from the tutoring sessions.

In my spare time, I do landscape painting in oils and pastels....

...of an undergraduate in Applied Mathematics. I was fortunate enough to have a paradigm shift in the way I perceived myself and the world around me and love getting to share the good news with others: people who prefer reading and making music and art can also do great in their other classes, especially when the math and science is presented the right way. In my free time I like to spin, knit, sew and...

...and the subject with which they are struggling. I believe that every student is unique and that by connecting seemingly farfetched or intimidating educational topics to something in the student's everyday life, a tutor can help that student thrive. When I am not involved in academia, one can find me playing with my band, backpacking on the Olympic Peninsula, or reading a good book in a warm corner of a coffee shop.... I believe that each student has a slightly different pathway that they use to access and expand upon the information in a given subject. My teaching philosophy revolves around finding that unique connection and using it to elucidate difficult topics.

I am from Edmonds, WA. I went to high school at Lakeside in Seattle, and I did my undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. I've loved science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess).

...have worked with a wide age range of students, from elementary to high school. My goal as a tutor is to foster the love of learning for learning's sake in my students; even when teaching standardized test prep, I believe the focus should be on engaging with the subject matter, not just on "gaming" the test! I enjoy tailoring each study session to the student's individual needs, and working to discover the very best ways...

...school students in Test Prep, Writing and Reading, and adults in English language. I believe in hard work and having fun while prepping for important tests. As a native New Yorker growing up here, I attended Hunter College High School and the Brearley School, so I know how important test prep is! Because of my experience as a teacher and student, I firmly believe that excelling at school not only leads to great academic opportunities,...
