Dylan

ACT Prep Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a freshman Computer Science major enrolled in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University. I have a passion for teaching students, and I am experienced with having to give one-on-one guidance in teaching many concepts. Tutoring is very rewarding for me because I am driven to help others and give whatever knowledge I have gained over the years in every field. I also have experience dealing with situations in which students are not quickly or readily grasping concepts, and I have developed the patience to handle these situations. Teaching is just as rewarding for the student as it is for me, because I am thrilled when I see others achieve, and I would love to be part of the process. In addition to high school AP courses and test prep, I have taken college level multivariable calculus, linear algebra, physics electricity/magnetism and mechanics, computer programming (c++, matlab, LISP/Scheme), Dynamics of Systems, and Mechanics of Systems.

Mary

Academic Coaching Tutor • +56 Subjects

I currently work for an afterschool enrichment program (Best Brains) tutoring elementary English and math, and I have 4+ years of experience as a private ESL tutor for both children and adults. I am working toward my Masters of Science in Secondary English Education and ESL at the University of Wisconsin- Madison. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative World Literature and Japanese, and from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with a Master of Arts in Japanese Language and Literature. I began tutoring while I was in high school, assisting with algebra homework. In college, I volunteered as a kindergarten reading assistant through a program called Start Making a Reader Today. I later volunteered while in graduate school at a local high school tutoring students in beginner Japanese. I have also been employed by the University of Wisconsin as a Teaching Assistant, and taught in Religious Studies and East Asian Studies. In all cases, it has been a pleasure watching students progress in their academics and to see them grow as young scholars. I especially enjoy teaching language arts because of the feeling of connection that language can bring. My favorite part of teaching is seeing the smiling face of someone the moment that they finally "get" something they've been struggling with and watching their confidence boost. In my free time, I host a small book club, pen pal with friends around the world, and try my hand at new recipes.

Shelby

Algebra Tutor • +53 Subjects

I graduated from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a degree in Biology and English. Since then I have worked in various capacities in education, both on the curriculum development side and in formal classroom teaching. I worked as a lab instructor for Genetics and Evolution courses in Duke University's Department of Biology, and developed and taught science programs for the Duke University Center for Science Education. I also spent a year and a half teaching English conversation and writing to high school students in Japan. I have a passion for science education and am currently working to understand and improve the way science is taught in American schools. I place a high value on education and believe that in order to get the most out of it, students should be challenged and take full advantage of all of their educational resources. It's very rewarding to see a students succeed and reach their goals through hard work. I most enjoy teaching life sciences and writing, but I have a diverse background in many areas. In my spare time, I enjoy running, reading novels, baking (and eating) bread, and spending time with friends over coffee.

Alexis

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +48 Subjects

I am a graduate of CUNY Lehman College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics with a double minor in French and Japanese Culture. After receiving my degree, I had the opportunities to travel and live in Japan, South Korea and the Philippines. I taught English at Technical High School in Tokyo to prepare Japanese youth for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and catered to students from all levels (kindergarten to adults) in a private institute in Daejeon, Korea to help improve their conversational English. In my experience, helping struggling students prepare for the EIKEN (an English Proficiency Standardized Test), we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the interview stage of the exams.While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, French, History and Linguistics. My passion and discipline for learning foreign languages were the driving forces I was able to achieve fluency for some of the languages I took the effort to learn to this day. These are the same core values I also want to instill in all of my students. By inspiring them to achieve their goals and reminding them the importance of discipline and consistency, success is sure to follow. Some of my interests include learning more about world history and different cultures, traveling, and playing soccer.

Brittany

College English Tutor • +9 Subjects

Hello! My name is Brittany, and I look forward to working with you.I've worked as a tutor on and off for nearly ten years. My main focus has been assisting ESL students with English, and I worked as a junior high school teacher in Japan for two years before returning to the U.S. I've assisted college students with literature comprehension and essay writing, as well as adults and children with everything from business English to the fundamentals of grammar. I have also studied Japanese for twelve years, honing my skills through translation and editing and assisting fellow students however possible.My core belief is that education should be fun. Learning from textbooks and standard memorization techniques can be difficult, especially when the material is presented in a way that is not particularly interesting or captivating. Flashcards and textbooks are fantastic learning tools, but in my experience, supplementing them with games, songs, television shows, or anything else of interest to the student makes memorization and understanding much easier.Outside of teaching and tutoring, I enjoy reading books, writing, playing video games, and experiencing everything Seattle has to offer. I did dance and martial arts in Japan, and I'd love to get back into it soon.My hope is that we can work together to build a great relationship, and that I will be able to support you as much as I can. I am dedicated to working with you until you are comfortable, confident, and eager to take on whatever challenges await. I can't wait to hear from you!

Nicholas

ACT Science Tutor • +13 Subjects

I am currently working towards my degree in mechanical engineering at the University of Dayton. In high school, I tutored students around my age frequently with my school's chapter of Mu Alpha Theta (math national honor society). Since I arrived at college, I have been tutoring my peers in calculus, biology, and chemistry. I'm an engineering major, so of course my favorite subjects are science and math. I love to teach students any type of math or science; in fact, I find it fun. Although, I do find things other than school fun (I'm not that lame). I'm involved in a considerable amount of extracurricular activities at UD. I play trombone my school's jazz band (which recently travelled to New Orleans) and for my school's pep band (which supports the best basketball team in the A10 [go Flyers!]). I'm also on the club racquetball team for my school and I am a hockey fanatic. Despite the fact that most engineering majors are introverts, I am quite the talker. I will enjoy sitting down with you and talking through any issues you may have with your subject. I tend to make my students work on their own up to the point where they get stuck in a problem and explain their thought process as they go through. That way, I can understand what my students understand and what they don't. I hope you choose me as your tutor and I am looking forward to helping you succeed!

Brendan

ACT English Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a junior at the University of Arizona on a National Merit Scholarship working towards degrees in Japanese and Computer Science. I spent a few years in Japan as a volunteer, and one of the things I did was teach English conversation, in groups from as many as twenty-five to as a few as three. I'll be earning my JLPT N1 certification later this year -- Japanese is my favorite subject to tutor, but I also enjoy mathematics. I am a firm believer that the ability to do well in studying comes not only from content knowledge, but also from knowing the test and the strategies for taking the test. In my free time, I enjoy computers programming, video games, and just about anything from Japan.

Paul

College English Tutor • +11 Subjects

I graduated from the University at Albany with a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Studies, where I studied up to advanced level language courses in Mandarin Chinese as well as minored in Japanese studies. I also have extensive experience working one-to-one with students from my position as a Learning Center Writing Consultant where I assisted students in academic writing. By far one of the most rewarding milestones of tutoring is the moment you witness the student satisfied with the achievements you have helped them accomplish. Tutoring is a collaborative process whereby tutor and student work towards a common goal of academic success and achievement. I enjoy tutoring in ESL, Chinese, Writing, and beginner Japanese. Aside from tutoring, I am a musically inclined individual who dabbles in a number of musical instruments.

Brandon

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +23 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at UNLV. I major in English with a minor in Japanese and I am in the honors college.I serve as the editor of the opinion section of The Rebel Yell, UNLV's student newspaper. In the past I have tutored Spanish and Japanese language students, but I am actually most passionate about English and reading and would love more experience working with students to enfranchise them with the power of literacy. I derive happiness from seeing others grow and contributing to the lifelong process of education, so I find tutoring to be an appropriate outlet for this passion. In my free time, I enjoy reading short stories and writing my own prose.
