BA Vanderbilt University • Professional (JD, MD, DMD, etc) University of Miami School of Law
2+ Years Tutoring

With over a decade of experience as a student and a personal understanding of learning challenges, I'm passionate about helping students succeed on their own terms. As someone with ADHD, I understand firsthand how to navigate the complexities of focus and time management, and I incorporate strategies that work for neurodivergent learners. This experience allows me to connect with students who face similar challenges, providing them with practical tools and encouragement to excel. I earned my Juris Doctor and LL.M in Entertainment, Art, and Sports Law from the University of Miami School of Law, and my Bachelor's degree in Human and Organizational Development from Vanderbilt University. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I specialize in English, History, and Law, and I particularly enjoy helping students sharpen their writing and critical thinking skills.

10+ Years Tutoring

I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

Megan
BA Rhodes College
6+ Years Tutoring

I am studying Spanish in Mexico after two years teaching English in Guadeloupe, France to sharpen my foreign language skills and ESL teaching capabilities in preparation for multilingual and multicultural educational spaces. Upon my return to the United States, I will pursue my teaching license in secondary history. Thus, I am passionate about teaching History, English, and French. I also excel at teaching and academic writing. In addition to my experience guiding students in traditional classrooms, I have taught yoga for the past two years. This has involved planning classes for large groups in addition to providing personal assists to students throughout their practice. With my experience teaching others in both the traditional academic classroom and the nontraditional yoga classroom, I have learned there is no better way to assist others in their growth than meeting individuals exactly where they are. As a result, my teaching and tutoring styles are designed to capitalize upon what students already know so that they may build upon said knowledge and achieve more. Further, my teaching and tutoring are based on our humanity as people and thus there is plenty of conversation, inquiry, and room for mistakes. I believe education is an opportunity for creating possibilities, and as such I couldn't be more grateful to help others imagine their future possibilities.

BA Yale University
5+ Years Tutoring

I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I believe that a good teacher not only helps a student tackle specific, formulaic kinds of questions, but also imparts the skills necessary for adapting to the diverse intellectual challenges that life presents. My goal is always for my students to leave their sessions having learned something that will be useful for years to come, not just on the next test that they are preparing for. After all, education is a lifelong process!

MS Thunderbird School of Global Management • BA Brigham Young University-Provo
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a graduate of Brigham Young University where I majored in International Relations and Russian and of Thunderbird School of Global Management where I earned an MBA in International Business. My college and graduate studies include coursework in Writing, Literature, Geography, History, Political Science, Russian, Music, Business, Math, Science, and Art. Because of my experience with many different disciplines, I am able to teach a wide variety of subjects and have experience working with students of all ages from middle school to middle aged. My greatest skill as a tutor is the ability to adapt challenging material to the viewpoint of my students. This allows me to build bridges of understanding that help more analytical people feel at home in creative disciplines or vice versa. If you are a gifted artist struggling with Math, or an aspiring scientist struggling with creative writing, I'm your man! I am also a very experienced writer and editor. In my free time I enjoy hiking, literature, ultimate Frisbee, international travel, soccer, baking, music, strategy games, and philosophical discussions. I have lived in Africa, Western Europe, and Russia and visited over a dozen countries. Please note that due to the many different subjects I have studied, the list of classes above is not complete. If you have tutoring needs for a very specific subject, I may well have taken a course in that area. Feel free to reach out with questions!

Frequently Asked Questions

Many students struggle with reading comprehension, essay writing, and grammar fundamentals—especially as texts become more complex in middle and high school. With an average student-teacher ratio of 19.7:1 in Cape Coral schools, classroom teachers often have limited time to address individual gaps in writing mechanics, analytical thinking, or confidence with literature analysis. Personalized tutoring helps students tackle these specific obstacles at their own pace.

In a classroom setting, instruction moves at a set pace for the whole group, which can leave some students behind or others unchallenged. With personalized 1-on-1 instruction, a tutor adapts to your student's learning style, focuses on their specific weak areas, and provides immediate feedback on writing and comprehension. This targeted approach allows students to build confidence, close skill gaps faster, and develop a deeper understanding of ELA concepts.

Absolutely. Strong writing requires practice, feedback, and revision—things that are hard to provide at scale in a classroom. Tutors work with students on everything from brainstorming and thesis development to sentence structure and editing, providing detailed feedback on each draft. Over time, students develop stronger organizational skills, clearer voice, and the confidence to tackle essays, creative writing, and standardized writing prompts.

Tutors teach active reading strategies—like annotation, questioning the text, and making connections—that help students engage more deeply with what they read. They work with students on vocabulary development, understanding author's purpose and tone, and analyzing literary elements like character, plot, and theme. With consistent practice and guided discussion, students build the skills to tackle complex texts independently and retain information better.

Tutors are familiar with Florida's B.E.S.T. Standards for English Language Arts and the expectations at each grade level, from foundational reading skills in elementary through literary analysis and research writing in high school. They can review your student's current coursework, identify where gaps exist, and reinforce what's being taught in class while filling in missing skills. This alignment ensures tutoring complements classroom learning rather than working in isolation.

Yes. Tutors help students prepare for FSA (Florida Standards Assessment), AP Literature and Composition, SAT/ACT reading and writing sections, and other standardized assessments. They teach test-taking strategies, help students practice under timed conditions, and build the reading speed and analytical skills needed to perform well. Targeted preparation reduces test anxiety and helps students approach these assessments with confidence.

The first session is an assessment and planning meeting. The tutor will discuss your student's current strengths, challenges, academic goals, and learning style. They may review recent assignments, tests, or writing samples to understand where support is needed most. From there, they'll create a personalized plan with specific focus areas and realistic milestones to track progress.

You can share your student's grade level, specific challenges, and goals, and we'll match them with a tutor who fits their needs.
