Brett
Elementary School Science Tutor • +2 Subjects
Hi everyone! I'm Mr. G, and I'm looking forward to helping you hit your academic goals. I'm a certified teacher and qualified principal with a Master of Education and over ten years of full-time experience. I'd say my biggest strength is versatility. I've worked with every grade from Kindergarten all the way up to Grade 12though I spend most of my time with Middle and High School students. I'm definitely a 'jack-of-all-trades' when it comes to subjects; I cover everything from Math and Science to Social Studies and Phys. Ed.. Because I work across so many areas, I love helping students 'connect the dots' between different subjects to make those complex ideas a lot easier to wrap your head around. I also have a ton of experience teaching English as a second language. I actually lived abroad for 15 years and taught in places like Singapore and South Korea. I've traveled to over 40 countries, and I love using those global experiences to bring my lessons to life and connect with students from all different backgrounds. I make it a point to adapt my style to whatever works best for you, so you always feel confident and supported. Whether we're tackling a tough Math problem or just practicing your conversational English, I bring a high-energy, adventurous spirit to every session. I truly believe learning should be an adventure, and I can't wait to help you start yours. Let's get to work!

I look forward to inspiring a love for knowledge in my students!
Mary
Elementary School Math Tutor • +7 Subjects
I currently work for an afterschool enrichment program (Best Brains) tutoring elementary English and math, and I have 4+ years of experience as a private ESL tutor for both children and adults. I am working toward my Masters of Science in Secondary English Education and ESL at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative World Literature and Japanese, and from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Arts in Japanese Language and Literature. I began tutoring while I was in high school, assisting with algebra homework. In college, I volunteered as a kindergarten reading assistant through a program called Start Making a Reader Today. I later volunteered while in graduate school at a local high school tutoring students in beginner Japanese. I have also been employed by the University of Wisconsin as a Teaching Assistant, and taught in Religious Studies and East Asian Studies. In all cases, it has been a pleasure watching students progress in their academics and to see them grow as young scholars. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because of the feeling of connection that language can bring. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the smiling face of someone the moment that they finally "get" something they've been struggling with and watching their confidence boost. In my free time, I host a small book club, pen pal with friends around the world, and try my hand at new recipes.

Mateo
SAT Subject Test in Spanish with Listening Tutor • +28 Subjects
Born and raised in Colombia! Fully Fluent in English as well. As a native Spanish speaker, I am eager to help students improve their Spanish reading, writing, and speaking abilities, offering insights into both the language and the rich cultural contexts in which it is used. My background in anthropology and Latin American studies allows me to provide a unique perspective on language learning, connecting linguistic skills with cultural understanding. As a cultural anthropologist, educator, and native Spanish speaker, I am passionate about helping students explore the complexities of human societies, develop critical thinking skills, and master language proficiency. My academic journey, which includes a Master's degree from Florida Atlantic University and ongoing PhD studies at the University of Calgary, has equipped me with a deep understanding of anthropology and interdisciplinary approaches to social sciences. Throughout my career, I have gained extensive experience working with diverse student populations. As a Graduate Teaching Assistant at both Florida Atlantic University and the University of Calgary, I have assisted in designing course materials, facilitated engaging discussions, and provided personalized support to students in subjects such as Introductory Anthropology, Philosophy, and Medical Anthropology. My role as an Adjunct Professor at Florida Atlantic University allowed me to develop a comprehensive curriculum exploring the cultural, historical, and sociopolitical dimensions of peace and violence, encouraging students to analyze complex global issues from an anthropological perspective. I am particularly passionate about tutoring anthropology, Latin American studies, research methods, and Spanish language skills. My approach to tutoring is student-centered, focusing on creating a supportive atmosphere that facilitates open dialogue and intellectual exploration. I believe in adapting my teaching style to meet the individual needs of each student, whether that means providing additional explanations, using visual aids, or relating concepts to real-world examples. For language learners, this might involve immersive conversation practice, culturally relevant materials, or tailored exercises to address specific language learning goals. My teaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that education is a transformative tool for personal growth and social understanding. I strive to make complex anthropological concepts and language skills accessible and relevant to students' lives, encouraging them to think critically about the world around them. I also value inclusivity and diversity in education, having experience working with English as a Second Language (ESL) students and adapting my teaching methods to accommodate various learning styles and backgrounds. Outside of academia, I have a keen interest in museum education and public anthropology. My experiences as a Museum Educator at the Miami Children's Museum and as a Research Intern at History Miami Museum have given me valuable insights into communicating complex ideas to diverse audiences. These experiences inform my tutoring approach, allowing me to make anthropological concepts and language learning engaging and relatable to students from various backgrounds. In my spare time, I enjoy exploring new cultures through travel, participating in academic conferences, and engaging in community-based research projects. These activities not only enrich my personal life but also contribute to my ability to bring fresh perspectives and real-world examples into my tutoring sessions, particularly when it comes to language and cultural studies.
