Julie

College English Tutor • +15 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Linguistics, hold a certificate in TEFL, and will begin work on a master's degree in English this fall. I have more than ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students in composition, literature, grammar, and ESL. I am passionate about helping students succeed and develop lifetime love of learning. By evaluating areas of student weakness and creating a clear plan to strengthen these areas, I have seen my students grow dramatically in both their skills and confidence. I worked extensively with curriculum development and teacher training in an English-speaking K-12 school in Indonesia, which grew to more than 600 students and received international accreditation in less than ten years. I have visited many countries in Southeast Asia. Besides traveling and spending time with family and friends, I enjoy running, gardening, and playing the piano and flute.

My formal education was completed at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. There, I majored in Women and Family Themes with a minor in Psychology.

I also tutor English as a second language students through and online platform. On occasion, I substitute teach in the local public and private schools. I have taught nature immersion students to identify and ethically harvest wild medicinal plants and craft safe medicinal preparations.Students take many different pathways to mastery. I believe in encouraging their strengths and building growth mindsets while supporting weak areas. Helping a student make connections, build skills and overcome challenges brings me great joy!

Maggie

ACT Prep Tutor • +51 Subjects

Hi! My name is Maggie, and I have been tutoring since high school. I graduated Cum Laude from Duke University in just 3 years, and I graduated with a Distinction Thesis. I have a psychology major and a certificate in Human Development. Since graduation, I have been working in an elementary school as a special education paraprofessional. This job was exciting to me because I was able to focus on the special needs children (ADHD, ASD, Down Syndrome, EBD), but I also got to teach some classes and help the general education students. The job was perfect for me!I recently moved to St. Paul, and I now want to become a full time tutor. What I really love about tutoring is the relationship that is formed between student and tutor. I like to really get to know a student so I can learn how to help him or her best. It is important to me that a student is able to enjoy his or her work. That will make learning more fun, and it will make the student more successful. I am so excited for the opportunity to tutor your child! I look forward to helping him or her achieve and find confidence in abilities and intelligence.

Andrea

ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +49 Subjects

As a professional with a passion for education, learning and learning design, I believe that given all the data on learning environments and learners, one cannot deny that the ideal learning environment is one which incorporates real-life experience as much as possible and when not possible, provides for simulations of real-life settings using technology to bring the world to the learner and the learner to the world. Learners see relevance in realistic situations and are therefore engaged and motivated. Motivated and engaged learners explore complex situations, find connections, problem solve and deepen their understanding of the topics they are studying. These connections propel learners to branch out into other subject areas to explore and expand upon. While passing that test is of course very important, fostering curiosity creates a lifelong desire to grow our knowledge base. This will bring about a greater satisfaction in all we do.

I graduated from Manchester University in 2012 with a degree in Spanish and Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I have taught various levels of language learners all over the world: elementary students in Spain, young adults in Taiwan, and adult ESL classes in the United States.I am also still a language student as I am teaching myself medically-based Spanish vocabulary.I understand learning a new language is difficult and requires a different style of instruction, which is why I utilize a lot of interactive activities, conversationally-based classes, and a lot of positive reinforcement.Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, science fiction movies and books, yoga, and spending time with my Philadelphia friends and family.

Brandy

Algebra Tutor • +39 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Mathematics and English from Converse College in 2007. I was a Computer Science minor and and undergraduate Computer Science tutor during my senior year. I received my Master of Science in Mathematical Sciences from Clemson University in 2009, where I was both a graduate teaching assistant and a graduate research assistant before becoming a graduate teacher of record. My area of specialty is Algebra/Operations Research. I presented my research at FAU during the Southeastern International Conference on Combinatorics, Graph Theory, and Computing two consecutive years, 2008 and 2009. Since graduation, I have spent over three years teaching Mathematics at the college/university level. I recently relocated to Houston, Texas, where I intend to continue teaching, tutoring, and mentoring. I have worked with third through fifth grade students with reading difficulties for nearly 10 years. I am primarily a Mathematics tutor, but my first love is English, and I truly enjoy working with students in Computer Science as well. Since my MS from Clemson is a breadth degree, I am an expert in all six areas of Mathematics. My goal is to turn negative attitudes towards difficult subjects into positive attitudes with accomplishment and understanding on the part of my students. I am a firm proponent of education, believing that your education is the only thing that is ever truly yours. Once you attain knowledge it is yours for life, unlike material possessions which come and go. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, yoga, walking, and watching movies.

Evan

ACT Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects

I graduated from William Jewell College with a Bachelor's in Music. While I have a broad spectrum of areas that I enjoy studying and tutoring, math is one of my favorites. Back when I was in high school, my friends always came to me for help with learning Math, and I always enjoyed helping them. Calculus is one of my favorites in particular, because I enjoy seeing my students realize that, while it is kind of intimidating at first, Calculus is just as easy as the math that came before it. I also enjoy helping students learn to get comfortable with standardized tests like the ACT. I keep both of us in a good mood so that the test doesn't seem as frustrating as it used to be for them. The change in a student's outlook when they start enjoying what they are doing always cheers me up.In addition to tutoring and teaching, I also enjoy playing my clarinet, reading, listening to music and playing video games.

Steven

College English Tutor • +19 Subjects

I am a graduate of the Arizona State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education. Since graduating I have taught and coached both students as well as teachers in all levels of elementary school. My work has been primarily in Title 1 schools and with many students who are learning English as a second language. In the past two years I have worked as a Math Interventionist and Instructional Coach supporting students to accelerate their achievement as well as supporting teachers in best practices for assisting struggling students and enriching high performing student success. This past year I worked as an OSPI Math Fellow for the Puget Sound Region and currently hold a Washington State Teaching Certificate as well as working towards a National Board Certification.My passion lies in building foundations for students, regardless of their station of understanding, so that they have the confidence and drive to accelerate their achievement. Every child deserves access to an equitable education and as an educator, I strive to provide quality support to every student. Above all, learning should be fun! I believe it both motivates and inspires. I enjoy encouraging students to take control of their own learning and it begins with self confidence. In my spare time, I love drawing My Little Pony pictures with my daughter and watching my son bravely transition from crawling to a very shaky walk! It is a very exciting “work in progress!”I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and your child. I am confident that with rigorous and engaging encouragement we will together accelerate academic achievement as well as cultivate a love of learning.
