Award-Winning SAT Writing and Language Tutors in Redmond, WA

...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 spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about the...

...tutoring programs in middle school, taught and tutored third grade Hebrew and B'nai Mitzvah students in high school, participated in a program teaching Spanish at a local elementary school in college, and spent the year after college teaching English in China. While teaching in China I worked mainly with high school students (mostly seniors) and provided individual tutoring to middle and high school students. When I returned to the US I also spent some time...

...tutor for underserved kids, a counselor at a Cornell University academic summer camp, and a teacher in a fifth-grade classroom, I've learned how to inspire even the most reluctant learners to love using their minds. There's nothing more gratifying to me then seeing a student understand, and I'm privileged to witness that moment often. Whether your student needs to master the art of writing the five-paragraph essay, prepare for the SAT, or write their personal...

...mostly India and Southeast Asia. My tutoring/teaching style combines a big-picture, compassionate approach with detail-oriented and focused efficiency. In other words, I motivate my students by helping them apply their lessons to more than just school, while still focusing on the necessary outcomes of improved scores! I most enjoy helping students with their writing skills, basic-intermediate math skills, college planning, and study/organization skills. In my free time, I can be found doing acrobatic yoga, cooking...

...life). I am also outdoorsy, and I love to hike and backpack, as well as horseback ride (used to compete in hunter-jumpers, now somewhat limited but I ride when I can). Music is my other major activity, and I sing classical soprano, play violin, and can do some basic guitar--enough to accompany myself and friends when we sing folk songs and popular music, and to support us as we make up harmonies. Travel is also...

...on the field of social sciences. My school experience has encompassed private and public school, home schooling, and parent-teacher co-ops. I began tutoring as a freshman in high school, and have continued to tutor elementary through high school levels of math, reading, writing, English, chemistry, Spanish, and history. I tend to offer a lot of math assistance, but I love tutoring in the humanities as they are closely related to real people! I believe in...

...from the political theory I studied at Whitman. At Montana State University, where I took my prerequisites, I served as a peer instructor for physics classes. Just as I did at the writing center, I tried to get students to see the fun in physics, making their studies less of a chore and more of an inquisitive process. Whenever it’s sunny and warm enough, my free time is spent rock climbing; I also volunteer with...

...an internship teaching ESL in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. While I love studying literature of all genres, I feel the most impactful literary experience is one that deeply resonates with the reader, and inspires them to write their own stories. This is why I am an advocate for detailed, creative, and personal essay writing. The most powerful essay or piece of academic writing is one which is inspired by the writer's personal instincts and experiences. In my...

...business law and taxation. University of Washington School of Law's graduate program in taxation. I graduated this past June and received my LL.M. in Taxation. I first began to tutor when I was 17 and I quickly realized I was a natural teacher, but more importantly, I discovered I truly enjoyed teaching. For the 3 years I attended law school, I tutored college students in English, Psychology, Literature, and a variety of other subjects. One...
