My tutoring style is very personalized, and I love finding creative ways to motivate and help my students really understand their work. It is very important to me that I give my students a solid foundation, background information, and customized techniques to make their learning as exciting and efficient as possible. I look forward to working with you!

Rachel

ACT Prep Tutor • +44 Subjects

I graduated from Northwestern University and received a Bachelor of Arts Cum Laude in with departmental honors History and Political Science. I then got my Masters in Teaching, and have spent 8 years teaching middle school. I also was a Fulbright Scholar.While in college, I tutored in a local elementary school, working with kindergarten, second grade, and fifth grade students throughout my time there. I worked with these students in small groups and individual settings and tutored them in a variety of subjects, including math, reading comprehension and fluency, writing, handwriting, social studies, and science. I also coached competitive high school debate (following my own participation in the event throughout high school), and taught students research, writing, argumentation, and public speaking skills, as well as about international and domestic politics.I am comfortable tutoring in a variety of subjects, particularly at the elementary and middle school level. I am most excited about US history, English, writing, and public speaking. I am deeply passionate about educational equity, and firmly believe that every child has a right to an excellent education. As a tutor and teacher, I work to ensure that my students demonstrate growth in a subject area, in general academic skills, and in character.When not working with students, I can probably be found exploring cities, reading, making art, trying new foods, and chatting with friends.

Grace

ACT English Tutor • +27 Subjects

I'm a current undergraduate student pursuing a degree in Writing Seminars. I love learning, and I am very interested in many subjects including literature, history, classics, philosophy, and ethics. Outside the classroom, I spend a great deal of time training and practicing as a member of the Johns Hopkins University Women's Volleyball Team, coaching a competitive club volleyball team for high schoolers in the St. Louis area, and volunteering at a nursing home. As a writer, I have a great deal of experience composing scientific reports, analytical literary analysis, philosophical and political arguments, and creative pieces. Fiction writing is one of my personal passions, and my creative work has been published in several literary journals. I love working with writers of all skill levels, and I am prepared to address difficulties related to grammar and mechanics, syntax, structure, style, content, and editing. I studied Latin at the honors level for over six years throughout middle school and high school. I believe in the value of classical study and I am excited to help other Latin students work through the unique challenges of this language. I am also certified as a test prep tutor for the SAT and the ACT, and I look forward to helping students succeed in standardized testing.As a college athlete, I understand that many students are committed to activities outside the classroom, and I pursue productivity and efficiency in every session to ensure that students are able to achieve their academic goals without compromising other priorities. I also understand that no two students are exactly alike; I am very flexible in my approach to the learning process and I really enjoy working with diverse personalities and learning styles. I am a very positive and open person, and I hope to become a comfortable and reliable resource for all of my students.

I work with students on written response and other forms of communication.I believe the power to unite people through ideas belies the surface of every piece of language; it teems at the margins, billows at the rim of critical response, and dares to implode if not for the courage of the writer to engage in heated dialogue with text and audience.To achieve such a thing, and effectively, means not only to chisel the skill for syntax, grammar, research and format; it also means realizing a passion to change the reader???s mind, spark a fire in one???s audience face-to-face, and conjure the kind of ripple effect that leaves the world forever moved.My aim as a tutor is 2-fold:1. to sharpen students??? writing and oratory skills, and2. to inspire and affirm self-belief???the notion that the student and her, or his, ideas are worthy and worth sharing.EXPERIENCEIn 2011 and 2012, I taught two undergraduate-level lectures at the University of Maryland College Park: How Colonialism Caused Gender Stratification in the U.S., and The Harlem Renaissance: A Sanitization and Regression of Black Art.In Fall 2012, I lived in Hamburg, Germany for three months as a DO School Music Challenge Fellow, where I facilitated a multi-lingual and multi-ethnic class of young adults in choral and dance performance.Upon returning to the States, I worked in the private sector as a marketing copy and web specialist, and in 2014, created and facilitated a mindfulness and meditation workshop as part of The Rise of The Artrepreneur Presents: Unleash the Beast. an original 3-part art series about becoming who you are. The series will continue with its 3rd edition later this summer.Since 2015, I???ve toured Philadelphia and Chester Counties??? charter schools, serving as a guest teacher and mentor to students ages 11-17.EDUCATION2008-2012: University of Maryland College Park | Bachelor???s Degree in Liberal Arts | Major: CommunicationMinor: English, one semester.

Billie

Algebra Tutor • +42 Subjects

For over 11 years I have had the privilege to work with students from all different backgrounds and ability levels. I earned my bachelor's degree from Capital University and majored in Middle Childhood Education in the areas of Mathematics and Language Arts/Reading, I also earned my master's degree from University of Phoenix in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught in both a traditional school setting and online school as well, so I understand what it takes to help someone excel when face to face learning cannot take place. Math and Reading are my areas of expertise, and I enjoy working in both content areas. However, if I had to pick a favorite, I absolutely love helping students understand Math. I have a very approachable, student-centered teaching style. I understand that everyone thinks differently and at different speeds. I want my students to end their sessions with me feeling confident and successful and looking forward to our next time together. Teaching isn't the only thing I enjoy doing, I am very active and enjoy being outdoors, yoga, cooking, church, reading for pleasure, and cheering on The Ohio State Buckeyes! I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your maximum educational potential.
