Tony
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Yale University and incoming first year medical student at Columbia University. Originally from the DC area, I have always had a passion for science and medicine and pursued a degree in Biology while at Yale. During the 2008-2009 academic year, I tutored science, math, English, history, and Mandarin Chinese part-time with a DC-based tutoring company. At Yale, I worked as a freshman counselor to provide academic and career advice to incoming freshmen. I have taken both SAT and MCAT test prep classes and am familiar with both tests as well as the preparation necessary to score well. My personal career goals include attending medical school to pursue either immunology/infectious diseases or psych/neurology, teaching biology at the university level, and working in public/global health with either the CDC or the WHO.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +29 Subjects
I am a freshman at Caltech majoring in Applied and Computational Mathematics. My favorite subject to tutor is math because I find it very rewarding to simplify complex topics to aid in understanding. I have lots of tutoring experience. In high school, I ran and taught an SAT prep class and was vice president of my school's NHS chapter where I ran our tutoring program, and I, myself, tutored. I also was a teaching assistant in the summer of 2020 for a class in discrete mathematics through a program called PACT (Program in Algorithmic and Combinatorial Thinking). I love learning and hope to make the process enjoyable for you!
Matthew
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects
I'm a highly creative person who works best with visual thinkers. Very recently graduated from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!
Quinn
Calculus Tutor • +17 Subjects
I am willing to address any issue with an open mind and I try to develop strategies that play to a student's strengths. I would like to think I am very approachable and personable, and I have had very positive experiences with many students in the past using this philosophy. Outside of academics, I love playing basketball and watching sports, as well as chilling with friends, listening to music, and keeping up with politics and current affairs.

Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Frequently Asked Questions
Third graders learning Spanish ELA typically struggle with verb conjugation in present tense, especially irregular verbs like ser, estar, and ir. They also find it difficult to transition from simple sentences to more complex narratives with past tense, and many students mix English and Spanish when speaking spontaneously. Additionally, building vocabulary retention—particularly for descriptive words and action verbs needed for writing—requires consistent, targeted practice that goes beyond classroom instruction.
In a classroom setting, 3rd graders rarely get extended speaking time in Spanish. With personalized tutoring, students get uninterrupted conversation practice where they can make mistakes in a safe environment and receive immediate feedback on pronunciation, grammar, and word choice. Tutors can adapt the pace and topics to match each student's comfort level, gradually building confidence in expressing thoughts, asking questions, and responding to prompts—skills that are essential but hard to develop in group settings.
Tutors work with age-appropriate Spanish texts—short stories, fables, and leveled readers—and use strategies like pre-reading vocabulary introduction, guided questioning during reading, and retelling activities to build understanding. They also help students recognize cognates (words similar to English) and context clues to decode unfamiliar words. For 3rd graders, the focus is on moving beyond word-by-word decoding to actually understanding plot, characters, and main ideas while building confidence as readers.
Third graders in Spanish ELA are learning to write simple narratives, descriptive paragraphs, and responses to prompts using complete sentences. Common focus areas include subject-verb agreement, correct use of present and past tense, spelling patterns in Spanish, and organizing ideas with beginning, middle, and end. Tutors provide guided writing practice with scaffolding—starting with sentence frames or word banks—then gradually removing supports as students gain independence and confidence in expressing their ideas on paper.
Expert tutors teach grammar rules explicitly—like conjugation patterns and sentence structure—but always in context through reading and conversation, not in isolation. They model natural Spanish usage, encourage students to notice patterns in authentic texts, and correct errors in a way that feels conversational rather than punitive. This approach helps 3rd graders internalize both the 'why' behind rules and the 'how' of using Spanish naturally, which is more effective than memorizing conjugation charts.
Tutors use research-backed strategies like spaced repetition, retrieval practice, and thematic grouping to help vocabulary stick. Rather than drilling isolated word lists, they introduce new words through stories, games, and real conversations, then revisit them across multiple sessions in different contexts. This approach—connecting new words to familiar topics, using them in sentences, and practicing retrieval—is far more effective for 3rd graders than traditional flashcards and helps students actually use the words in speaking and writing.
Tutors weave cultural elements into lessons by reading stories from Spanish-speaking countries, discussing traditions and holidays, and exploring age-appropriate cultural references. This approach makes the language feel alive and purposeful—students aren't just learning words, they're learning about the people and places where Spanish is spoken. For 3rd graders, this cultural immersion builds motivation, deepens comprehension, and helps them understand that Spanish is a real language used by real people, not just an academic subject.
Tutors model correct Spanish pronunciation consistently and provide gentle, encouraging feedback when students mispronounce words or carry English speech patterns into Spanish. They use techniques like repetition, exaggeration of mouth movements, and comparison of similar Spanish sounds to help students develop accurate pronunciation. Since 3rd graders are still developing language awareness, tutors focus on the most impactful sounds and patterns first, building good habits early rather than waiting for ingrained mispronunciations to develop.
