Academic Coaching Tutor • +40 Subjects

I am a graduate of The University of Texas at El Paso. I received my Bachelor in Interdisciplinary Studies with a focus in English Language Arts and Reading. Since graduation, I have earned my ESOL and Reading Certifications added onto my teaching degree. As a tutor, the most passionate subjects that I have taught the last 15 years as an educator; they are Reading and Writing, focusing on ESOL students and Intensive Reading students. I am a "firm, fair, and friendly," educator, that the 'student' will enjoy and eventually learn new reading strategies within my lessons. This will help improve the student's reading and writing scores at the end of the year assessments.

Kimberly

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +35 Subjects

I am currently pursuing my Masters in Public Health at Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health. I received my B.A. in Psychology and Environmental Studies at Wesleyan University. In high school, I was selected by my teachers to tutor classmates in Chemistry, Physics, and Geometry. I helped students with homework problems and with test preparation (both for in-class exams and for the SAT Subject Tests). As an undergraduate, I was a teaching assistant for introductory Russian, and worked with students both in group and in individual sessions.My academic background is varied, and thus I am able to tutor students in a range of topics, including Environmental Science, Biology, Psychology, Statistics, French, Russian, English Language and Literature, and exam preparation (SAT, ACT, AP and GRE). My favorite topics to tutor in are Biology and Environmental Science, since I love sharing my interest in the science and using it to help students better understand and enjoy these exciting fields.My teaching philosophy is best summarized as "show not tell" -- I find that guiding students such that they can arrive at the answers themselves, rather than just explaining the problem, helps them fully realize their potential for success. When I'm not learning or teaching, I spend my time reading, running and baking.

Brandi

Adult Health and Wellness Tutor • +103 Subjects

I am, what my family calls, a professional student. I absolutely love to learn and take as many classes as possible. I started out as a Chemistry major at UNCW but decided to pause my college education to attend paramedic school and work as a paramedic. Then after becoming a mother, I returned to college through Trident Technical college in SC to obtain my Associates in Science. I followed that by completing a Bachelors of Science in Psychology degree at Old Dominion University. I attended a DO medical school and was successful in completing the coursework and Board exams but due to personal reasons I withdrew medical school as a fourth year student. I'm now a single mom of 3 boys and completing a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.When I first attended college at UNCW, I would tutor middle school aged kids in a variety of subjects. I really enjoyed teaching and helping others with their education and really looking forward to tutoring again. I will be tutoring all elementary & middle school subjects, Algebra 1&2, MCAT verbal reasoning and after refreshing my own knowledge, I will be tutoring Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chemistry and Physics.As a long time student and mother of a son that struggles to learn the "traditional" way, I firmly believe that everyone learns a different way. So as a tutor, I want to help you find the way you learn best and help to present the material that way for you. Everyone has the ability to become knowledgable and smart in all areas, if the information is presented in a way that they can understand. I hope to help you do just that!As a mom of 3 young boys and a full time college student, I don't have many hobbies. I enjoy spending time with my loved ones and reading books.I have been a student my entire life and I have a true passion for education and helping others. I would love to work with you and help you with whatever area you need an extra boost in. Learning can be fun and I look forward to having a blast with you!

Academic Coaching Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a current graduate student at the University of Chicago studying clinical social work with a concentration in pediatric psychiatry. I received my Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Franklin and Marshall College. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I started tutoring elementary and middle school students when I was in high school and continued to tutor when I was in college. Additionally, when I was in college I worked for an organization where I advised three high school students through the entirety of the college application process. Currently, I am a social work intern in the department of psychiatry at Lurie Children's Hospital. I have experience working with young people who encompass a wide range of learning abilities and I am sensitive to the unique needs that may pose a challenge to a student's learning. I am comfortable tutoring a variety of different subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring psychology, English, and science. I strongly believe in fostering an environment where the student feels supported and encouraged in the learning process.

ACT English Tutor • +37 Subjects

Through tutoring middle and high school, as well as college students, over the past two years I have honed my experience as a teacher to fit the specific needs of individual students. Most recently, I have worked as a peer writing assistant at NYU's Gallatin Writing Center, assisting college students with essays--ranging from personal narratives to research papers. I've also worked closely with a family of two children, now 14 and 17, and I have helped them with everything from deep literary analysis to homework organization, from Spanish flashcards to SAT prep, from short piano lessons to high school admissions quizzes.In May, I graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors from NYU's Gallatin School of Interdisciplinary Study. In addition to my experience tutoring, I have taught instrument instruction, music history, and songwriting to groups of 5-15 children every summer for six years, and now run a series of week-long music intensive programs in Brooklyn. As Director for this nonprofit program, I am not only in charge of developing appropriate curriculum for groups of children with diverse interests, but also of training a staff of 30+ teaching artists to be effective teachers and mentors.As a tutor, I will be most effective with kids ages 10+ of all genders, especially those encountering difficulties around reading and writing. I am qualified for general homework help, organization, planning, as well a reading comprehension, writing and test prep. Above all, I love working with kids, empowering them to reach their fullest potential!

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +24 Subjects

I have spent the last six years of my life living and working in foreign countries. From 2008 to 2012 I was working as an ESL teacher in Madrid, Spain. There I was given the opportunity to travel throughout Europe, perfect my Spanish, and enlarge my understanding of the world as a whole. After Spain, I moved to Shanghai, China where I began working as an eighth grade teacher at Shanghai High School. Having begun studying Mandarin Chinese in Spain, I continued my studies in China while working, traveling, and experiencing the wide variety of tastes, sights, and people that Asia has to offer.Having returned back to the United States, I am pursuing a Master's Degree in International Affairs at The George Washington University. I enjoy teaching students of all ages and have grown through my own personal experiences as a teacher. I particularly enjoy working on writing, literature, and public speaking. In my spare time I study languages, play the guitar, run, and play soccer
