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 creative, detail-oriented iOS developer currently interning at Alervio, where I help design and build intuitive mobile experiences. As a recent Computer Science graduate from Indiana University, I served as a Teaching Assistant for iOS Mobile Development, guiding students through Swift, SwiftUI, and app architecture, and worked for two years as a Research Assistant developing machine learning and statistical models for brain fMRI data. I am also a former athlete, I grew up playing basketball and coached kids, strengthening my ability to teach, motivate, and build trust with students of all ages. I am driven by curiosity and innovation, I enjoy helping others understand both the big picture and the nitty gritty of any topic. And last but definitely not least, I am a native Spanish speaker, and an avid writer and musician in both languages, offering a unique perspective to help others navigate the nuances of language and creative expression.
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.
A little about me: I have over 10 years of experience in both tutoring and classroom instruction. My passion lies in fostering a love for learning through patience, kindness, and diligence. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment that encourages students to express their thoughts and develop critical thinking skills. By employing interactive and student-centered teaching methods, I am able to connect with each learner and adapt my approach to meet their unique needs. Witnessing my students grow in confidence and achieve their academic goals is what drives my commitment to education. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, writing, hiking, traveling, and painting.
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'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 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 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 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!
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'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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Verb conjugation is one of the biggest hurdles in 6th grade Spanish because students must simultaneously learn irregular patterns, multiple tenses (present, preterite, imperfect), and when to use each one—all while managing pronunciation differences. English doesn't require this level of verb modification, so there's no natural reference point. A tutor can break conjugation into manageable chunks, use pattern recognition to show how verbs like hablar, comer, and vivir follow predictable rules, and build fluency through repeated, low-pressure practice rather than memorization drills.
In a typical classroom, 6th graders might speak Spanish for just a few minutes per class period. With personalized tutoring, students get dedicated speaking time every session—whether that's ordering food at a restaurant, describing daily routines, or answering open-ended questions about their interests. Tutors can adjust difficulty in real-time, correct pronunciation gently, and create a judgment-free space where students practice without worrying about peers. This consistent, focused speaking practice builds confidence and fluency much faster than occasional classroom participation.
Cramming vocabulary lists doesn't stick—students need to encounter words repeatedly in meaningful contexts. Effective tutoring uses spaced repetition (reviewing words over days and weeks), connects new vocabulary to real-world scenarios (like shopping, sports, or hobbies the student cares about), and practices retrieval through conversation rather than just flashcards. When a tutor asks "What did you do this weekend?" and the student has to retrieve and use vocabulary words to answer, that creates much stronger memory than isolated word study.
Native speech is genuinely challenging for 6th graders because classroom materials are often slowed down or simplified. A tutor can bridge this gap by starting with clear, slightly-paced Spanish, then gradually increasing speed and natural speech patterns as the student's ear develops. Tutors also teach listening strategies—like focusing on familiar words, understanding context clues, and not panicking over unknown words. Regular exposure to natural conversation, combined with these skills, helps students build the confidence to understand real Spanish speakers.
The most effective approach balances both: students need to understand why Spanish works the way it does (grammar rules provide that framework), but they also need to hear and practice natural usage so language feels intuitive rather than mechanical. For example, learning that preterite describes completed actions is helpful, but students also need to hear and use it in real conversations to truly internalize it. A tutor can explain the rule, then immediately put it into practice through dialogue, so grammar becomes a tool for communication rather than an abstract concept.
Pronunciation improvement requires consistent modeling and feedback that's hard to get in a classroom setting. A tutor can demonstrate proper mouth positioning for sounds like the rolled 'r' or the Spanish 'j', have the student repeat with immediate correction, and build muscle memory through repetition. Tutors also help students understand that Spanish pronunciation is actually more consistent than English—once students learn the rules (like how 'a' always sounds like 'ah'), they can apply them across words. Regular practice with a native or near-native speaker dramatically accelerates accent improvement.
Language and culture are inseparable—understanding why Spanish speakers use certain expressions, how they structure conversations, or what topics matter to them makes the language feel real and relevant rather than abstract. A tutor might explain that Spanish uses more formal and informal registers (tú vs. usted) because relationship dynamics are central to the culture, or discuss why certain holidays or traditions appear in vocabulary lessons. When students understand the 'why' behind language choices, they retain vocabulary better and feel more motivated to learn.
This is one of the biggest advantages of personalized tutoring—instruction adjusts to exactly where each student is. A student just starting Spanish needs foundational pronunciation and basic vocabulary, while one who's studied it for years needs conversation depth and more complex grammar. A tutor can assess the student's actual level (not just their grade), identify specific gaps, and create a progression that feels challenging but achievable. This prevents both boredom and frustration that often happens in mixed-level classrooms.
