Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.
I am very good at breaking things down to make them much easier to understand.
I'm a firm believer that being bilingual has set me up for success in the workplace and all generations should have access to learn even outside the realm of traditional school.
I am a student at Georgia Tech majoring in Biomedical Engineering and pursuing a minor in Robotics. As such, I am skilled in math and science. As an author and researcher, I leverage my reading and writing skills all the time and am passionate about teaching both.
As a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Capella University, I thrive on fostering a supportive learning environment for my students. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects such as AP Psychology, Creative Writing, and Elementary School Reading and Writing. My teaching philosophy centers on connecting with students through engaging, tailored lessons that not only enhance their academic skills but also build their confidence. I believe that every student has unique strengths and learning styles, and I am dedicated to helping them discover and develop these attributes. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring creative writing and poetry, which I incorporate into my lessons to inspire a love for learning.
I am passionate about teaching students to read, because once you can read you can learn anything. I always tell students one of my favorite quotes: "Everything is hard when you don't know how to do it and easy once you learn how."
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I'm Solange - a recent graduate from Harvard where I studied Sociology & Women's Studies. I've been tutoring for eight years now, and have worked with a wide range of ages and in a wide range of subjects. Some of my specialties are college prep/test taking II worked in the admissions office on campus); social sciences; and literature/writing.
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals!
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Both matter, but the balance shifts based on where a student is. Early in 3rd grade, students benefit from learning present tense verb conjugation and basic sentence structure so they can construct thoughts correctly. However, the real power comes from practicing these patterns in actual conversation—ordering food, describing family, asking questions about hobbies. A tutor can weave grammar into natural dialogue, so students internalize conjugation patterns through use rather than memorization. This approach helps students speak with confidence while building a solid grammatical foundation.
Spanish verb conjugation requires students to track multiple variables at once: person (yo, tú, él), tense (present, preterite), and the specific conjugation pattern for regular vs. irregular verbs. In 3rd grade, students are also juggling present tense (hablar, comer, vivir) while starting to see preterite forms, which feels overwhelming. The challenge is that English doesn't require this level of precision—we say "I talk, you talk, he talks" with minimal change. Personalized tutoring helps by focusing on one verb family at a time, using repetition and real-world context ("I eat, you eat, she eats") so conjugation patterns stick through meaningful practice rather than drill sheets.
In a classroom of 25+ students, each child gets maybe 2-3 minutes of actual speaking time per class. With a tutor, a 3rd grader speaks for the entire session—answering questions, asking for clarification, describing their day, correcting mistakes in real time. A tutor can also adjust difficulty on the fly: if a student freezes on verb conjugation, the tutor slows down and models the pattern; if they're confident, the conversation gets more complex. This consistent, low-pressure speaking practice builds fluency and confidence that's nearly impossible to achieve in a group setting.
Pronunciation matters from day one because it affects comprehension and confidence, but 3rd graders shouldn't feel pressured to sound "native." The focus should be on clarity: rolling r's, the Spanish 'j' sound, and vowel consistency (a, e, i, o, u always sound the same). A tutor can model correct pronunciation and gently correct common mistakes—like pronouncing 'z' as 'th' in Spain Spanish or confusing 'b' and 'v' sounds. Regular feedback during conversation practice helps students self-correct naturally, and by 4th or 5th grade, they'll have internalized these patterns without explicit instruction.
Rote memorization of vocabulary lists doesn't stick—but vocabulary learned through context and repeated use does. A tutor focuses on thematic vocabulary (family, school, food, animals) and practices it across multiple conversations and activities. For example, instead of drilling "la manzana, la naranja, el plátano," a tutor might have a student order fruit at a market, describe what they ate for lunch, or play a guessing game. Spaced repetition—revisiting the same vocabulary in different contexts over several weeks—is far more effective than cramming. This approach builds both retention and the ability to use words spontaneously.
Cultural context makes language meaningful and memorable. Learning that "siesta" isn't just a word but a real practice in Spanish-speaking countries, or that different regions celebrate different holidays, helps students understand why they're learning Spanish in the first place. A tutor can weave in age-appropriate cultural elements—songs, stories, traditions, food—that make lessons feel alive rather than abstract. This also builds respect and curiosity about Spanish-speaking communities, which deepens motivation and engagement with the language itself.
A complete beginner needs foundational vocabulary, basic greetings, and confidence-building before tackling complex grammar. An intermediate student who's studied Spanish for a year might focus on expanding vocabulary, improving accuracy in present tense, and developing conversational flow. An advanced 3rd grader might work on preterite tense, more nuanced sentence structure, or reading comprehension. A tutor assesses where each student actually is—not where the curriculum says they should be—and builds from there. This personalized approach prevents frustration and keeps students challenged without overwhelming them.
All four skills—reading, writing, speaking, listening—reinforce each other, so a well-rounded tutor develops all of them. In 3rd grade, speaking and listening are the priority because they build confidence and fluency first. However, introducing simple reading (labels, short sentences, picture books) and writing (copying words, writing simple sentences like "Me llamo...") helps students see language in print and understand that Spanish follows patterns. A tutor balances these skills based on the student's goals and comfort level—a student preparing for a Spanish class placement test might emphasize reading comprehension, while a conversational learner focuses more on speaking.
