Heidi
Algebra Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a math and science enthusiast. I love finding solutions to problems. In high school I was described as a nerd, not only because I graduated valedictorian of my senior class, but because I did all of my homework as well as extra problems.My love of math and science caused me to pursue a Civil Engineering degree at the University of California - Irvine. After graduating with my undergraduate degree in June 2014, I am now working on my graduate degree in the same field. My overall career goal is to work for a public agency that monitors and analyzes environmental hydrology and water resource models.I started tutoring math in high school. A family friend asked me to help her son, who was struggling with seizures and missing class a lot for doctors appointments, catch up with his Algebra 2 class. Once I started college, I got a job tutoring students primarily in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I enjoy tutoring not only because I enjoy solving problems, but because I love seeing and hearing about my students success. My best day as a tutor was when one of my Pre-Calculus students told me that not only did he pass his final exam, but he moved up an entire letter grade in the class. I was so excited to hear this news because I knew that it meant that now he would be able to take AP Calculus which would, in turn, make him a more competitive candidate his dream aerospace engineering program.In my spare time, I enjoy reading. My favorite days are ones that are spent with a novel. My other hobbies include playing piano, photography, running, hiking, yoga, and travel.

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +45 Subjects
I recently graduated from University of Vermont with a double B.A. in Environmental Studies and Studio Art. I've been working with young people for over seven years in lots of different settings, but after starting college I realized how much I loved teaching. Most recently, I've been working with students in outdoor education and in other alternative learning settings, and am considering becoming a classroom teacher. My years of education experience have helped me develop some strategies for students who struggle in school and with tests.My favorite subjects to tutor are science, history, and English. I also work in general homework help, test prep, and organization skills. I like to tutor history and English especially, because being able to have a conversation about a subject really helps me learn. When I begin working with a student, I like to start out by getting to know them and their interests, and trying to pinpoint exactly where they are having trouble in a subject. By finding these leverage points, I can help them develop good habits and new strategies to create success in their schoolwork. I believe that everyone can be successful in school, but it's a matter of finding a custom plan for each individual. In my years of working with students, I know that everyone is different and what works for one student may not work for another. I aim to help my students develop the self-sufficiency, passion, and skills to help them accomplish their goals in school.When I'm not working with students, I love to be outside--hiking, biking, swimming, and kayaking are some of my favorite pastimes!

I am currently a student at Pasadena City College, planning to transfer in 1-2 years. I am pursuing a science degree (I'm considering both Life Sciences and Physical Sciences).I first began tutoring in spring 2014 and immediately fell in love with it; as a college student I myself study with friends/study partners quite frequently. Working with clients feels almost similar to these relaxed and enjoyable - yet highly productive and efficient - study sessions. I find joy in demonstrating to students that these tutoring sessions don't have to feel like tribulation; although I am their tutor, I am also a student just like them so I know how to study (and thus help them study) without burning out.I've tutored students ranging from 3rd grade to high school seniors. For my younger students, I've mainly tutored math fundamentals, Earth Science, writing, and ISEE prep. In addition to tutoring, I've been teaching at an after-school program for exactly one year; this experience gave me the opportunity to teach a class of up to 10 elementary-school kids, developing my ability to attend to various students' needs simultaneously. As a teacher with a more active role, I arranged a curriculum with supplemental topics to complement material being taught to them in school, and as a 3rd-4th grade instructor, I organized many games and "art projects" to familiarize students with the learning material. This job has helped me practice putting together lesson plans based on common core requirements, rather than just using the student's own material. As a tutor, it's not always necessary to supplement the student's schoolwork with additional material, but if appropriate I feel very comfortable creating targeted lesson plans.As for high school students I've mainly tutored Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, SAT math prep, Chemistry, and Statistics. I have much experience tutoring high schoolers; in fact the majority of my previous students have been at the high school level. Not being too much older than students of this age range, I find I can relate quite well and I can serve as a role model, exemplifying how well-educated/smart/happy they too can be in 5 years (at my age).I generally prefer tutoring SAT math, Geometry, and Algebra 2; using mathematical reasoning to approach a challenge appeals to me because it's a skill that requires experience. I enjoy helping students reach the answer, emphasizing not the final solution, but instead the process used to find the solution. Being forced to think and solve critically is what expands students' minds and gives them experience mathematically, helping them figure out how to approach problems of all subjects in the future. These math courses incorporate a lot of critical thinking into each problem and that's where the fun is!I believe that all students are entitled to the best education possible, which can be accomplished in a variety of ways. It could mean a weekly tutor to supplement learning, or extra time with a teacher. Regardless of how it is accomplished, a student's access to efficient, individualized education catered specifically to his/her needs can define his/her successes in life. It is my belief that students deserve individualized attention from a single educator who is monitoring that specific student's strengths and weaknesses. A student deserves the best possible shot at life!In my free time I've recently started playing the piano, which also consequently got me into classical music. I sometimes take apart classical pieces on my computer and merge them with others, integrating various composers and styles; music has recently become a great hobby of mine.

10th Grade Tutor • +29 Subjects
I grew up without much resources to help me succeed in school. Equipped with enthusiasm to learn and succeed in life, I embarked on a journey to reach the goals that I had in mind. As a result of that experience, I can really empathize with students who are struggling in school and do not know whom to turn to for help. My forte has always been mathematics, so I would like to help as many students as possible and let each one know that he or she can have a taste of success.

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +31 Subjects
When I get a tutoree I become invested in their progress and academic success and never have a 'my-way-or-the-high-way' mentality, but am flexible to trying to find new ways of teaching for however a particular student learns. I think this flexibility and dedication to making school work as easy as possible for my students is my strongest attribute as a tutor.I am available to work up to thirty hours per week. Friday through Sunday I would generally be free to tutor at any time; on Mondays, I am available during the day, and on Wednesdays, I am available from mid-afternoon (starting around three) through the evening. I am usually not available on Tuesdays or Thursdays. I would not need to take any month off.

Hello! My name is Ethan Swerdlow, and I am currently working as a Mechanical Engineer at Boeing's Huntington Beach facility.I received a Bachelor of Science degree from Lafayette College in Mechanical Engineering, with a minor in Mathematics. I played Division-I Football for all four years of my undergraduate experience.I was born and raised in San Diego, and attended La Jolla High School. During my high school years, I played varsity football and lacrosse, and completed a rigorous course load.Because of my 8 years as a student-athlete, I understand the complexities of time management that students face when balancing difficult coursework and other activities. Throughout my higher education, I have enjoyed tutoring. My strengths and passions are in math and science. Growing up, I struggled a bit with other subjects, and because of this, I have a great appreciation for the importance of a helpful tutor.

I’m currently a rising senior and Presidential Merit Scholar at the University of Southern California. I’m studying biomedical engineering and planning on combining my interests in technology and medicine in my aspirations of becoming a physician.Nonetheless, education and mentorship is a huge part of my life. Throughout my entire college career, I’ve been teaching grades ranging from 3rd grade to high school about subjects ranging from life sciences, physics, and engineering concepts. I’ve also gone through my fair share of standardized testing ranging from the PSAT to the MCAT and really believe I’ve come to learn the tips and tricks you need to succeed on such tests. As a result, I have informally helped a lot of my younger peers through their academic and mental preparation for these exams. I also am very familiar with the college application process and the pre-med/engineering life following, and I would love to be able to mentor/assist anyone who is thinking of a career path in engineering or medicine, or even both as I am pursuing!I’m excited to be able to apply what I know in a meaningful way through tutoring or mentoring, and I look forward to hopefully helping and getting to know anyone who believes they can benefit from my experiences.And of course, as they say at my university, whatever test or course you are going through……Fight on!

Noor
Algebra Tutor • +47 Subjects
I have always tutored my siblings and my friends, but in 2012 I began tutoring professionally. My teaching style includes using lots of visual aids to make the concept easier to grasp and ensures that all my students understand the concept instead of memorizing the subject. My expertise lies in teaching math and biology. I am currently in my third-year of dental school and will graduate as a dentist in 2017. My undergraduate degree focused on human biology.
