Test Prep Philosophy:Doing well on standardized tests often comes down to a matter of preparation. But standardized tests generally seek to test students' problem solving abilities rather than their aptitude for memorization or a particular subject. So how can you prepare for a test made up of unkno...

Lucy
Adult Literacy Tutor • +22 Subjects
I pride myself on getting to know my students on an individual level and catering my approach to meet a variety of specific needs. I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I studied Sociology and Spanish and spent a majority of my time outside of the classroom working with middle school students. After graduating I ran an after school program that provided career mentorship opportunities for 7th graders. There, I tutored my students in Common Core subjects. I understand that middle school students are well on their way to becoming independent adults, and I'm passionate about developing creative strategies to fit that unique period of development. Aside from this, I love writing and editing others' written works. In High School I was the Managing Editor of my school newspaper, and I worked at a variety of publications including the Cal Alumni Magazine and a Cuban Travel blog throughout college. Today, I edit on a freelance basis and specialize in everything from business memos to expository blog pieces. My journalism experience honed my skills in crafting concise messaging that conveys deep meaning. Outside of working with students, I love to create large works of art, listen to podcasts while walking around my city, and cook meals with friends!
Sergey
Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am an engineer with a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where I have taught math and science courses for 1.5 years. I also have several years of private tutoring experience, teaching various levels of math and science from elementary school through college. Teaching is my passion, not only because I enjoy doing it, but also since I see how it makes a real difference in my students' lives.I always attempt to explain difficult concepts in simple language, with real-world examples that my students can relate to. My tutoring sessions start with a discussion of the important terms and concepts, in which the student takes an active part. Subsequently, we will be working through some problems together, as I believe that problem-solving is the best way to learn new material. So be prepared for my hands-on approach! By the way, from my past experience, I know where students often experience difficulties, so will be spending some time on turning these weaknesses into strengths.Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new places and travel abroad every year. My hobbies include chess, soccer, hiking, and martial arts.
Melissa
AP US History Tutor • +27 Subjects
After graduating from high school I joined the United States Marine Corps. I spent 4.8 years in the corps, and was stationed overseas the entire time (Okinawa, Hungary, Kosovo). I have traveled to over 15 countries, and have developed a fascination for learning about different ethnic cultures. I enjoyed my time in the corps, and do my best to always try to incorporate my stories into my lesson plans. I am currently pursuing my TESOL certificate (Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages).For over 10 years I have tutored fellow students, coworkers, high school students, college students, ESL learners, and adults. During my undergrad program I was a writing tutor for not only fellow University Of Illinois at Chicago students, but also for students at Jones College Prep. During my graduate program I also tutored at Jones, and at Whitney M. Young Magnet School. I enjoy tutoring because I like helping students make sense of difficult topics. I also enjoy meeting new students, and forming a strong rapport.In order to create a successful tutoring session I believe the session must be student centered. During my student teaching experience at Whitney M. Young Magnet School I learned the importance of establishing rapport with the students. A strong rapport helps to create a relaxed learning environment. I also keep my lessons interesting by intertwining current events, my own personal experiences, and technology together. By using multiple teaching strategies I can cater to all learning types, since every student learns in their own unique way.

Algebra Tutor • +43 Subjects
I love school. I also love learning everything.More importantly, I met the right people in my life. These people challenged me to my core and my goal is to impart that same wisdom to anyone who wants help in their classes. I received an undergraduate education at the University of California Los Angeles from 2008 - 2012, where I earned a degree in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics. Here I earned a prestigious University Research Program Scholarship with the Oppenheimer Foundation for one year. I also performed research for the Howard Hughes Foundation one year later. My collective experiences and insatiable desire for success always lead me to find students who want the same thing.

Kelsey
College English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I am a Masters student with a 3.9 GPA studying Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I have taken many years of statistics, both at the undergraduate and the graduate level, and have years of tutoring experience. As a high schooler, I independently tutored a young girl in both reading and math for several years. Separately, I also tutored two young women for whom English was a second language.In my undergraduate career at UCSD, I was a teaching assistant for an upper division psychology course. As part of my graduate assistantship, I also assist or instruct (depending on the semester) for undergraduate statistics. I host office hours and SPSS-based labs, grade assignments, present material, provide study tools, and act as as a support system for my students. I have experience writing graduate school application essays and reviewing others'. Lastly, I have a wealth of scientific writing experience thanks to years of research and Master's thesis work.I am passionate about helping people achieve that "A ha!" moment. I have a true love of learning - it has propelled me to pursue a graduate degree and to assist others in doing the same. I enjoy building relationships with those I can assist, seeing them grow and make strides. There's nothing quite like the confusion of feeling lost in one's classes. I understand this feeling, I empathize with it, and I commit myself to lessen and, ultimately, eliminate it for others.It would be my pleasure to assist you in gaining confidence with all aspects of research methods! If you're interested, please reach out to me.
