...art histories; ACT Reading, Writing, and English; AP English Language; and college admissions essays and preparation. I love conducting sessions as "learning labs" where open and honest discourse is the foundation from which critical knowledge is gleaned. My approach is threefold: create an inclusive, welcoming learning community that encourages and rewards exploration and curiosity; present the course material in a way that resonates deeply with each unique student and introduces them to new ideas each...

I love to help my students feel more confident in their studies and to see them succeed. We will work on the foundations to build confidence and make a surefooted progress toward their subject goals. I try to figure out what is not working for the student and try to reinforce what the student is doing well. If they don't understand one way, I look for other way to help them with what they are...

...about helping others. In the past, I have worked with age groups ranging from kindergarten to high school seniors. While in high school, I tutored and mentored underclassmen. During and after high school, I worked independently with students who were referred to me by my high school's faculty. As a Group Leader for the Boys and Girls Club I worked with youth ages K-8 and I tutored and taught for Upward Bound during the semester...

...thinking, reading, and analytical skills. I stress to my students the importance of developing strong written and oral communication skills, as well as applicable skill sets that will translate in the professional world. I began my tutoring career in high school as a peer-to-peer volunteer tutor. I tutored first generation students and students from historically marginalized communities with the federal TRIO program as an undergraduate at UW. In D.C. I tutored second language learners looking...

...in a cookbook/memoir about American women, (such as my grandmother) in the kitchen. I love to write, and love helping students write as creatively as possible within the parameters of their schoolwork. I’m committed to making learning as fun and enjoyable. Having been an occasionally reluctant learner, I believe that most people are happiest when they feel that they’re learning independently, and are empowered enough to make their education their own. I want to help...

...students' strengths and weaknesses. I incorporate student interests when choosing the texts, and check in with them to see if my strategies are working. With my experience, I've got an abundance of tools, strategies, and materials from which to draw to engage and assist my students. I teach by breaking concepts into understandable chunks, so students can comprehend the parts that make up the whole. This is for everything from breaking down words to reading...

Hello! I am a young educator with four years of tutoring experience. I currently work full time as a middle school teacher, but I miss working one to one with students. A good tutor knows the subject material and knows how to make it interesting to the student. I'd like to make learning fun and foundational for my students! ... No two brains work the same way. A good teacher knows that in order for a...

Hi, my name is Sophie! I am originally from Massachusetts, but now I live in Texas, going on three years now. I love to learn, meet new people, and explore new places. My travels have taken me to Ecuador, Panama, and Spain, where I have practiced my Spanish. I also love to read books of all kinds and write in my free time. I have tutored students from elementary school to college in Spanish, literacy,...

...moment happen for my students when they finally grasp a concept they???ve been struggling with. Usually with my students and as a student myself, I find that explaining concepts in a different way with language that is more understandable or connecting it to real-world experiences goes a long way. As a competitive swimmer for the past 15 years and the captain of my college team, I understand the desire students have for excelling in both...

...I want students to walk away from a session with the tools they need to tackle an obstacle that previously felt insurmountable, so I take a very hands-on approach to these subjects by actively guiding students through prompts, GRE strategies, and research outlines. I want the student to walk away from each session with a collaboratively created plan of action that will help quell their anxiety and guide their efforts going forward. I take a...
