Kriya

ACT Prep Tutor • +44 Subjects

Your learning is my fulfillment! I will provide you with all the tools necessary for such learning, and therefore, academic success.I have knowledge and experience from many corners of the world that are waiting to be shared. I graduated from the University of California Berkeley with majors in chemistry and South and Southeast Asian studies. Since finishing my undergraduate, I have lectured Southeast Asian literature at a university for two semesters, as well as tutored high school students in SAT and ACT test preparation for two years. As such, I am more than capable of teaching any and all sections of the SAT or ACT and any related academic subjects (math until precalculus, English grammar, composition and writing).My favorite subject to tutor is chemistry! It allows me to explain how a lot of things work, and I enjoy relating the behavior of atoms and molecules to the characteristics of everyday things. Science is best when its concepts are understood and observed beyond the classroom.My style of teaching is participatory and inquiry-based; I will ask a lot of questions to facilitate critical thinking and active learning. This also allows the individual to arrive at the answer using his/her own methods. A thorough grasp of the fundamentals of a subject is essential, and we will fill in any gaps in knowledge together.I wish to pursue graduate degrees in multicultural education to transform pedagogy and curricula, especially around topics of history, language, and identity. At the same time, I also love all things scientific and nerdy. Foreign films, travel, personal narratives, role-playing games, tropical beaches, hiking, and yoga are some of my interests.My pursuit of knowledge is to deepen my understanding of natural and social phenomena, which I believe allows me to be a more compassionate individual. I look forward to being of service to the world as a teacher, one student at a time.

Karessa

ACCUPLACER Reading Comprehension Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a graduate of Wheaton College in Massachusetts. I received my Bachelor of Arts in African, African-American, and Diaspora Studies and took several courses in Hispanic Studies. I am currently working on my Master of Social Work Degree. As an undergraduate student, I studied abroad for an academic year in Puebla, Mexico where I was able to complete a project on the presence of people of African descent in Mexico. Since high school, I have been working with children and young people often as a mentor and in academic support. One of my first tutoring experiences was as a tutor for a reading program that provides extra support to first grade students who are struggling to read at grade level. In college, I taught eight grade US History and some elective courses to middle school students in a summer enrichment program in Norfolk, Virginia. Additionally, I have supported students in the college application process working with them on parts of their PSAT and in college essay writing. In past jobs, I have assisted students studying for Accupulacer exams to enter into Community Colleges. One of my favorite quotes is by Frederick Douglass and it sums up my beliefs on education: "Once you learn to read, you will be forever free." I believe that education has the power to liberate people and from my personal experiences, I have experienced it as a transformational process. In my spare time, I like writing poetry and attending poetry shows, participating in Improvisational Theater, and reading.

Mike

ACT Aspire Tutor • +28 Subjects

Educating students is what I do best. I earned my BA in English from Illinois Wesleyan University, and I have been the recipient of The Academy of American Poets' Prize, multiple Dean's List Awards, and the Campus Life/Intellectual Leadership Award. I was the president of my English honor society (Sigma Tau Delta), as well as the president of the poetry group on campus (Tributaries).The most important thing to know about me is that my true passion is student success. As a previous Teach for America corp member in the city of Denver, I taught for three years in Denver's lowest and highest performing middle and high schools. During my time teaching, I was part of a staff that took a student body that had an average of a 6th grade reading and writing level in our 9th grade class and led them to the highest overall growth recorded in the district and the second highest in the state of Colorado. According to nationally normed standardized testing, the average student in my reading/writing classroom that completes the work with me grows approximately two years in their abilities in one academic year.As a bilingual educator (I speak Spanish and English), I am able to assist a diverse group of students with a variety of literacy concerns from phonics and language acquisition all the way to essay composition and literature analysis.I am the type of teacher that listens carefully to students, figures out their learning styles and the gaps in their knowledge, and then tirelessly and relentlessly assists students in overcoming those gaps as fast as possible.When I am not helping students achieve their dreams, I beatbox, do jiu jitsu, and adventure around the city with my friends, family, and loved ones.I can't wait to meet you!

Naftali

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +78 Subjects

I am an undergraduate junior at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. I am getting a Bachelor of the Fine Arts in Dramatic Writing with an emphasis on Screenwriting and a minor in Child and Adolescent Mental Studies. I have tutored and taught for Kaplan Test Prep in the past. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Writing. In my experience, there is no best approach for how to tutor students. Every student is different and should be taught in a way that helps them better understand both the subject matter in front of them and themselves as a student. I believe that the healthy combination of creativity and patience can lead to the solution of almost any problem in life. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (graphic and classic) novels, practicing yoga, writing scripts, going to movie theaters, and aimlessly browsing through Netflix.

Nick

Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I graduated from American University in December of 2015 and earned my Bachelor of Arts in Justice, Law, and Society, while also completing a Minor in Applied Physics. I have a deep passion for both criminal justice and physics, and have written and edited a variety of papers in both subjects. In addition to law and physics, I am also fairly skilled with languages, having taken Spanish for six years, and Italian, Ancient Greek, and Latin for a year apiece.In addition to focusing on law, physics, and languages, I have also had a lot of success with helping students with learning disabilities, such as ADD, ADHD, and dyslexia. I myself was diagnosed with ADHD when I was six, and I have developed a variety of techniques designed to aid students who struggle with these learning difficulties.

Esthus

African-American History Tutor • +18 Subjects

I am a graduate of Howard University and of the University of Michigan Law School. In addition to my law degree, I have received undergraduate degrees in English and Philosophy. I have also done graduate work in philosophy at Temple University. I have worked several years as a professional journalist. My work has been published in many newspapers and magazines including USA Today, the Nashville Tennessean, the Baltimore Sun, the Asbury Park Press, the Michigan Daily, the Army Times, and the Honolulu Advertiser. I have won several awards from state and national press associations for my work. I am also an adjunct legal studies professor in the Roher College of Business at Rowan University. Since 2003, I have tutored students preparting to take the SAT, GRE, and LSAT. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Social Studies. For both subjects, my tutoring style is focused on ascertaining and addressing the student's specific needs, but tends to focus on improving student's ability to read texts actively and for understanding, teaching students to take and rewrite class notes, and learning to write effective essays. I have many hobbies and interests. I am a huge sports fan. I follow the Dallas Cowboys, Philadelphia Phillies, Philadelphia 76ers, and the Michigan Wolverines. I am an avid reader of literature and history. I enjoy writing, cooking, biking and golfing. I love to travel. Most recently, I have traveled to Ethiopia, South Africa, and Switzerland. I plan to visit China this summer.

Asta

ACT Prep Tutor • +98 Subjects

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States.Even though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I enjoy teaching English and standardized test preparation the most. I love helping my students find beauty in the English language in addition to helping them achieve their college goals. I also love working with students on their college essays because that's when I feel I get to know my students the best, as we talk through dreams, aspirations, and life experiences. I view education as a skill; education is not around to help us learn specific things, but rather education teaches us how to learn.Outside the classroom, I'm a well-traveled certified SCUBA diver who enjoys spending time kayaking and weightlifting. I also played ice hockey through college and performed as a classical pianist on campus and in Europe. When I'm not feeling so active, I can be found knitting, crocheting, reading, writing, and daydreaming about where I want to travel to next. I'm working on becoming a true Renaissance woman.
