Miranda

Algebra Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a mechanical engineer who is passionate about using my skills and knowledge to make the world a better place. I currently work in green energy, specifically on developing technology for the decarbonization of mining and industrial equipment. I received bachelors and masters degrees from the University of Michigan, where I was a graduate student instructor and machine shop trainer. Despite my choice of studies, I have often been frustrated with own my math and science class experiences, and how often I see one bad class/teacher/experience ruin a student's self-confidence or passion. I have the most experience in math and science, but I can also help out with English, introductory Spanish, or test prep. Outside of work, I play ice hockey, volunteer for Seattle's Youth Tutoring Program, read, and occasionally hike/bike/run.

Denise

Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects

I've always enjoyed learning. As a tutor, I want to help my students enjoy it, too. I've got an MS in Chemical Engineering and an M. Div from a theological seminary, so I'm comfortable with a wide range of academic topics. I love working one-on-one with students because it allows me to find creative ways to help them master new concepts. My teaching style is all about helping students problem solve so that the end result is not only a better grasp of a subject but also a stronger sense of self-empowerment anytime they tackle something new.I grew up in Lake Tahoe, CA, where my winters were spent in skis and my summers were spent in swimsuits. I also enjoy hiking, soccer, and just about anything else that involves being outside. I'm a recent transplant from California, so on a rainy day, you'll probably find me inside with a cup of tea and a movie or a good book.

Robert

College English Tutor • +22 Subjects

Hello, I am a recent graduate of the University of Washington where I received my Bachelor's degree in English. I graduated on the Dean's List and received a scholarship to fund an Undergraduate Research paper on American Literature. During my studies I volunteered at a Seattle School in ESL classrooms. There I worked with groups of students and individuals on a variety of subjects including english, math, and social studies.My tutoring style centers around exploring a students strengths and weaknesses and working realistically with them to improve their knowledge. Each student is an individual and needs individualized learning. But of course there are general strategies which I find effective. Although I am capable of tutoring a variety of subjects my specialty is English and writing essays as it is what I have the most experience in. My strategy for attacking any essay topic is to help tofirst gather information, plan out how to form it into an effective argument, and then get to writing. At this point I work with student from the sentence level through paragraph and finally to overall structure. My goal is to not only improve the current essay, but to imporve essay writing skills permanently.I am passionate about teaching, and find it constantly rewarding. Currently I am awaiting deployment to Sub-Saharan Africa with the Peace Corps where among other things I will teach. Aside from this I also enjoy playing guitar and listening to music, films, jogging, and just hanging out with friends. I grew up in Kirkland and have lived in Washington my whole life.

Alexandra

Biology Tutor • +18 Subjects

I recently graduated from Juanita High School from the Cambridge program and am currently a student at the University of Washington, and am pursuing a bachelor's in architecture. However, seeing as I have just started my college journey, I will only be tutoring French, German, and high school level subjects for the moment. I moved to the United States from Germany around 11 years ago and attended a bilingual French American elementary and middle school. I also attended German lessons outside of school. French and German are my native languages, but I have also completed both the AP German and French exams, as well as the French DELF B2 and the German DSDII C1 level exams, and am ready to help tutor in those subjects. I want to help students not only learn the languages but find a passion in learning about them and the cultures of the countries in which they originated. I strive to help encourage students to discover their learning styles and help them find effective methods for studying.

Amanda

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +34 Subjects

My teaching philosophy is to create the best possible learning community by offering a variety of instructional approaches and foster the development of success skills for my classroom and beyond. Regardless of the course I want students to want to learn. This desire to learn is present in everyone but it needs to be activated. Anatomy & Physiology is a very challenging course but the subject is fascinating. It presents an opportunity to spark interest & interject humor. The rectal valve, for example, is important structure for everyone. It prevents that “you hope no one noticed” fart from being loaded. As you can imagine, it gets giggles but it captures attention, induces laughing and endorphin release. Happy brains want to learn.What also facilitates this “want to learn” is that I quickly establish an open dialogue with students. Involving the student in their own learning also lies at the root of my philosophy. I encourage students to participate in discussion and provide an environment where they feel like they can take risks. Even when students are wrong I always applaud them for their efforts (“Good try/Not quite/excellent idea”). Step in my classroom and you’ll probably find it rather noisy; reflecting learning is in progress.I believe it is important to present myself as a friendly and supportive instructor. I take time to get to know my students, their names, what their career goals are or what their interest is in the course. I also make time to chat with the students and it does not have to be about the class. Students are valued members of my classroom regardless of their background, education or other social factors.Part of my effectiveness as an instructor is my ability to relate scientific concepts with everyday concepts students are familiar with. For instance, students have trouble visualizing ionic movements and how these movements relate to the establishment of resting membrane potential. I turn myocytes/neurons into banks and ions into dollars. Students understand money and can relate that concept to ionic gradients and movements. While it may sound silly, ions as dollars, but it is an effective means of concept visualization for the students.To be an effective instructor I rely on my creativity and analytical abilities. I constantly research and develop lesson plans & assignments, review, take out what didn’t work and continually change my approaches. What works for one class may not work for the next. I try creative ideas including 3D modeling, cartoon depictions and even create crime scenes with a murder to solve as part of a dry bone lab. Studies show that happy and engaged brains learn better.
