As a dedicated tutor with a Master's degree in Special Education and a U.S. teaching license, I am passionate about supporting students in their unique learning journeys. My diverse background, including a Bachelor's degree in Political Science, international experience teaching kindergarten, and tutoring English online, has equipped me with a broad perspective and adaptable teaching skills. I firmly believe that every student learns differently and possesses a unique set of strengths. That's why I tailor each lesson plan to meet students where they are, focusing on their individual needs and helping them achieve their educational goals. My approach is student-centered and flexible, ensuring that each session is engaging and effective. What I love most about tutoring is the opportunity to connect with students and witness their growth firsthand. I am committed to fostering a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel confident to explore their potential and develop a love for learning.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from Cardiff University, and have a Masters in Counseling from Monash University. Trained in the Orton-Gillingham approach to literacy, I am passionate and experienced in using a multi-sensory approach to tutoring students with dyslexia and other reading difficulties. Having worked in an educational setting for over 11 years in Hong Kong, I am experienced in working with students from kindergarten all the way through to primary school.

I have a BA and Masters of Science in Mathematics. I have been teaching all levels of Math for the past 14 years and I love to make it fun! It is also great to see students understand and succeed as they don't always realize how simple something can be when it is broken down into easier steps! I have taught middle school, high school and college level Mathematics. I am also a licensed Mathematics and Special Education teacher and have worked with college students as an instructor and adviser. I love to teach and show neat tricks to help students understand complex concepts!

Hi! My name is Yash Kavadia, and I'm currently a Finance major at the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business. I graduated from Bergen County Academies, one of the top-ranked public high schools in the country, and I've always had the passion and patience for helping others succeed too. Over the years, I've tutored students in subjects ranging from elementary school math and English to high school AP classes to SAT prep and college prep. I personalize every lesson to match the student's unique learning style and goals. I personalize every session according to the student, their pace, and their goals and deadlines. My approach focuses on building confidence, mastering concepts, and making learning engaging and effective. I know how stressful academics and test prep can be, and my goal is to make things simpler and more manageable for my students. Whether you're trying to boost a grade, prep for the SAT, or strengthen your college applications, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to help you reach your potential! Especially with school starting, this is the perfect time to start and get ready and ahead.

Hello! My name is Sam Bicking. I am an alumni and student at The University of Pennsylvania studying Pre-health sciences before entering medical school. I have been tutoring for several years with students with disabilities (and amazing students without disabilities).

I have been an elementary and middle school teacher for the past 14 years, and enjoy working with all ages of students. My focus over the last few years has been to delve deeply into the science behind learning to read. As a result, I have become a Certified Orton Gillingham Instructor through the Institute for Multi-Sensory Education (IMSE). The Orton Gillingham (OG) approach consists of multi-sensory instruction that is direct, explicit, and systematic. Lessons are based on the individual needs of the student. It has been proven over time to be a very effective way to teach students with reading difficulties, including dyslexia, to read. I look forward to help you or your child experience the joy of learning to read.

Update: I completed a two-month full-time guest teacher assignment teaching World Languages Spanish to high school students (9th-12th) Spanish 1/2/3. By utilizing a student-centered learning approach, cultural competence, and equitable teaching, I support students with pedagogy rooted in inquiry, hypothesis, information gathering, problem-solving, and action. I encourage all students to adopt an open-minded approach, and provide support to gifted students, students with disabilities, English Language Learners, and Multilanguage Learners with equity. "Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced." James Baldwin I am in my second year of grad school, pursuing a dual master's degree in K-8 Elementary Education and K-12 Special Education (Mild to Moderate Disabilities). With my education grad studies and BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), I synthesize creativity and best practices in education to find creative ways of supporting learners. My pursuit and purpose is to guide with compassion and enthusiasm. I encourage students to take ownership of their learning. By promoting student agency, students empower themselves to achieve in academic, social, emotional, and behavioral development. As an ADHD adult, I enjoy working with ADHD students and adults experiencing anxiety + depression. What is effortful for our neurodivergent brains is also our superpower! In my career, I have lived and worked in NYC as an editorial photographer, actor, and dancer. I lived in Berlin and pursued performance art + music while honing my communications skills in digital art + copywriting in Marketing. In Los Angeles, I succeeded as a commercial and theatrical actor. My skill set is suited for collaboration with all students to support and develop their passion for learning, exploration, and critical thinking. I live in southeastern Washington State and teach in northeastern Oregon and southeastern Washington State public school districts. I support students in the following subjects: Elementary School Reading Elementary School Math AP English High School English Middle School English Middle School Math Digital Media & Graphic Design Fine Arts & Filmmaking Creative Writing Study Skills & Organization German 1/2 Spanish 1/2/3 Spanish Language Arts English Language Learners English Language Development Algebra 1/2 Special Education (all subjects) High School Math "We all have ability.

All students can learn, however, not all students learn the same way. The key to learning and the most important part of any teachers job is helping students understand how they learn best. That is what I do well.

As you can probably tell, I am passionate about helping others learn. I believe that all students can lean, when provided with the proper tools. I have a diverse background in education, having worked as a teacher in all grades, K-12, special education, and adult education. Additionally, I've held roles as a lead teacher, literacy coach, instructional specialist, academic engagement administrator, assistant principal, principal, and director. I hold five teacher certifications and four administrator certifications. I am also a proficient instructional coach certified through the MDE. I graduated from MSU, U of D, WSU, SVSU and CMU. I have an insatiable thirst for learning and take great joy in instilling that same love for learning in others!
