Margaret
College Application Essays Tutor • +43 Subjects
I am presently a student at the University of Redlands working towards a degree in creative writing. I have a strong background in general language arts and have tutored students of all ages in the past. I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students become comfortable in even the most strenuous academic settings. In my tutoring sessions, I aim for a casual-yet-firm approach, and I'm most at ease tutoring students in high-level language arts, with a special focus on academic essay writing and general written communication skills. When I have free time, I'm an avid reader, favoring everything from scholarly texts on the history of corn cultivation to highflying space opera comic books.

Vicky
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am currently a college student pursuing a Mechanical Engineering degree at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. I believe in the saying, "If you're the smartest one in the room, then you're in the wrong room." I believe that education never ends and one should never stop learning. I have been tutoring math at my college since my freshman year and I love helping students understand mathematical concepts. I like to apply math to everyday concepts such as pizzas, pies, and shopping to make concepts easier to understand.
Jessica
Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +12 Subjects
I received my Master of Arts in Biology from Point Loma Nazarene University. My undergraduate studies were completed at Pepperdine University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a focus on Marine biology and Ecology. Additionally, I also hold California Single Subject Teaching Credential in Biology. My credential program was completed at California State University San Marcos. Since completing the credential program in 2008, I have worked as a high school science teacher at a large private high school in the area. In the six years that I have been teaching, I've had the opportunity to teach a variety of courses including: General Biology, Chemistry, AP Environmental Science, Marine Biology, and Honors Anatomy and Physiology. For the past three years, my focus has been on the latter three courses previously mentioned. Prior to becoming a high school teacher, I worked as an Outdoor Educator at Ocean Institute, and traveled throughout Western Europe teaching English as a Foreign Language classes in Greece, and England. I have a true passion for education and science. My goal when working with students is to provide them with an opportunity to take ownership of their learning, resulting in greater understanding and appreciation of the topics we are discussing/learning. In my spare time, I enjoy surfing, swimming, sailing, snowboarding, photography, and traveling.
Tavleen
Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Redlands in April 2015 with a B.S. in Chemistry and a B.S. and Biology. I have three years of tutoring experience at the University of Redlands, where I tutored college students in general chemistry, organic chemistry and molecular genetics.I initially began tutoring at the University of Redlands because of my enthusiasm for learning. I am a firm believer that the best way to fully grasp a subject is through teaching. I enjoy the challenge of explaining difficult topics in chemistry and biology in a variety of ways that tailor to each student's unique learning style. Of course I quickly learned that the most rewarding part about being a tutor is seeing your students succeed. It is gratifying to watch students finally grasp a concept that they have been struggling with, or to see their self-confidence rise with your help and encouragement.My passion for teaching, clear communication skills, and ability to build strong, personal relationships with students are essential attributes that make me a successful tutor. I am passionate about education, and I believe that the passion of a teacher directly affects the interest and learning of students. I strive to bring that passion into my tutoring sessions so that students are not only engaged in the topics at hand, but also develop their own interest in the matter. Passionate teaching must also be accompanied by coherent communication. I have learned that an effective tutor is not only excited about the subject, but is also able to convey the information efficiently. My ultimate goal in tutoring is to provide a nourishing environment that allows students to learn and grow intellectually.When I am not studying or tutoring, I enjoy playing golf, watching any sporting event (especially basketball, football and hockey), and spending time with my friends and family and two dogs.

Constanza
Biology Tutor • +27 Subjects
During my K-12 education I received tutoring in various areas including ESL, music and math. In high school I began tutoring because tutoring had been a positive experience in my life. In college I majored in Biology and minored in creative writing. During my four years at Scripps I had the opportunity to gain great conceptual understanding in both the sciences and humanities.I have always had a passion for learning. My curiosity for knowledge has allowed me to study in the humanities, the sciences, and in music. Over the past six years I have had various opportunities to tutor students in these subject areas. My main goal for these students, as well as future students, is to gain conceptual understanding of the material.
Jonathan
Algebra Tutor • +37 Subjects
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Integrative Biology from the University of California, Berkeley where I focused on ecology and evolutionary biology. As an undergraduate, I had the chance to serve in two teaching positions on campus. In the first course, I assisted graduate students and professors to guide a class through core level biology. The second was a hands-on affair, in which I led students through the preparation of animal specimens for preservation in a museum. Through my experiences, I have discovered that the best way to learn and teach a subject is to tackle it with a variety of approaches. For example, students intimidated by the technical jargon of math often find problems easier to understand when symbols are replaced with words. Through such strategies, I aim to make dense material more communicable and relatable and to provide students with the confidence to accept new challenges. I am most excited to discuss ecology, evolution, and math, but I am also able to tutor subjects such as physics, writing, and standardized testing. In my free time, I enjoy playing video games, practicing martial arts, and hiking.

I also volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society.
