Patrick

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +68 Subjects

I graduated summa cum laude from Emerson College, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies and a minor in Writing, Literature, and Publishing. While in college in Boston, I was struck by a quote on the side of the Boston Public Library: "The Commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty." This statement gives me great inspiration as I work with my students. As a tutor, I have worked with students from ages 5 to 25. I tutor many academic subjects, but my favorites are always History, Social Science, English, and Literature. I love these subjects because I often feel they are our greatest keys to understanding why the world behaves as it does. I have taught numerous forms of standardized tests for admittance to high schools and colleges. It is not uncommon for my students to see significant increases in math, reading, and writing sections of these tests. I always find that the best tutoring results come from keeping sessions as fun and engaging as possible while still covering the material. When not tutoring, I teach performance classes in subjects like magic, comedy, and balloon sculpting. When not teaching, I enjoy reading, hiking, travel, and video games.

Cameron

Anatomy Tutor • +15 Subjects

I am a college graduate from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biology where I focused on Molecular Biology and its application to Human Physiology and Anatomy. During college I would frequently help my peers tackle tough science concepts. I have also spent many hours assisting teachers at the junior high level. I tutor a variety of sciences including: Biology, Chemistry, Microbiology, Physics, Anatomy, Physiology, Biochemistry, and Genetics. I also tutor Pre-Algebra and Algebra. My favorite subjects to tutor are Physiology and Anatomy since these subjects are the basis for understanding medicinal practices. Students that I tutor will have a plan aimed toward success in their class and they will gain study skills to help them better develop as a student. In my spare time I enjoy running and swimming for exercise and I like watching sports (especially the NFL).

David

Algebra Tutor • +26 Subjects

I earned my Bachelor of Science in Physiology and Neuroscience with Phi Beta Kappa Honors from UC San Diego. I have a passion for the sciences, especially Chemistry and Biology. I have a love for learning and I believe this enthusiasm really helps my students become excited about the subject matter. I am confident in my ability to teach both Chemistry and Biology for all grade levels, including college level courses. I also have an extensive background with Physics, Biochemistry, and Algebra as well. While I was a student at UCSD, I worked as an undergraduate Teaching Assistant for several distinguished biology professors. I have taught more than 150 different students, each with their own personal skill levels. I take pride in being able to cater my teaching style to each student's individual needs. I have been exposed to the material from both a student and teacher's perspective and I have learned the most effective strategies to help you succeed.My goal as a tutor is to not only teach you the material, but to also teach you the most effective way to learn and study as well. I believe learning should be a fun process and I enjoy incorporating humor within my lesson plans to keep my students engaged. Through the many AP courses and upper division science classes I have taken and excelled in, I am confident that I can provide you with the tools to succeed in any course. I encourage students to learn the main concepts as opposed to just memorizing information, which I believe will then allow them to tackle even the most difficult problems. I have also worked as a piano theory teacher for students of all ages and am therefore comfortable teaching all grade levels.I recently applied to medical school as I aspire to become a physician. During my free time, I enjoy working out, watching and playing basketball, and eating. I look forward to helping you succeed!

Christie

ACT Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects

A mantra for my own education is to retrieve knowledge through higher education that others can apply to change their lifestyle and improve their quality of life. This is one of the reasons I am a pre-health student with an aim for a career as a Physician's Assistant. Tutoring students is directly related to my mantra and passion to educate. I am very eager to apply the lessons learned through high school and two years at Cal to help a student excel in any material. Because both of my parents are teachers (one high school-level and one university-level), I have both observed their teaching methods in the classroom and have received their teaching. I have had the opportunity to communicate through difficult concepts with them, evaluate methods, and test approaches occasionally with my own tutees. I have taught the English language, a subject I am very familiar with, to primary school students in Japan as well as have explained how polarizability benefits SN2 nucleophiles to a university peer a few days after learning it. These varying degrees of familiarity in subject material have helped me to practice recalling material on the spot to then explain it to a student. These different experiences have trained me to meet each student where they are.My schedule of availability begins on July 18 and until mid-August I am free from Monday through Saturday beginning at 8 AM and Sunday after 1 PM. I can work up to 30 hours/week.I look forward to working with you as a tutor!Christie Matsumoto

Adult Literacy Tutor • +21 Subjects

History buff and Italian language enthusiast!I am a European History graduate from University of California, Santa Cruz. I am incredibly passionate about the history of Europe over the course of the last hundred years and the impacts that major historical events, such as the rise and fall of fascism, had on the development of the world as we know it. I believe that this strong passion can be put into good use to educate and help others understand the importance of history and where it can lead us. I am particularly interested in educating and researching events surrounding the marginalization and persecution of people of different creeds, colors and situations in the hopes that it will illuminate similarities in present times. Through this I hope to find a position that allows me to educate future generations and teach them the importance of equality and prosperity for all.

I am currently studying Politics, Philosophy, and Economics at The King's College. I have tutored several of my peers in the past on coursework ranging from logic to math and political thought. I enjoy tutoring public speaking and writing most, though I also tutor AP Government, SAT, and the ACT. I tend to explain a problem/concept before having a student tackle it. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TED videos, and cooking without recipes. I look forward to working with you!
