I am a rising sophomore at Amherst College, one of the nation's top liberal arts colleges. I am pursuing a double major in mathematics and philosophy - the combination of STEM and the humanities was a key reason why I chose Amherst and the liberal arts experience for my education. Ever since my freshman year of high school, I have been actively involved in tutoring. I have tutored elementary school students in Harlem in reading comprehension and vocabulary building; middle school students in the South Bronx in Latin and Roman mythology; high school students at my previous school in geometry, English, French, and Latin; and this year, I am tutoring a graduate student who recently immigrated to the United States in ESL and conversational English. As for my preferred subjects, I have an abundance of knowledge of and experience with college test preparation (both SAT and ACT, but especially the SAT). Because I went through the standardized testing process myself not too long ago, the top strategies and preparation methods for successful performances on these key exams are fresh on my mind. I have experience tutoring clients in the SAT and have worked with them to achieve significant improvement. All in all, I am passionate about getting to know my clients and working with them to make learning engaging using strategies that are the most effective for them individually. I am a strong believer in utilizing as many teaching methods as possible (visual, auditory, hands-on, project-based learning, etc.) to pinpoint the method that works the best for my students. I am patient, consistent, and hard-working, and I look forward to working with you toward success.

I'm majoring in Computer Science and Biology at Northeastern University, I like to dance, and my main goal is to help you achieve your goals.Teaching has always been a positive experience for me, so I am excited to engage with young, bright students and help them get where they want to be in life.I have two years of experience tutoring in Latin and one additional year of experience teaching dance. Instructing students, from five year olds to seventeen year olds, in these vastly different topics has taught me patience, focus, and how to handle the uniqueness of each student. Through teaching both Latin and dance, I have learned to plan efficiently and responsibly.I have strong interpersonal and communicative abilities. These characteristics, combined with my organizational skills and determination, give me a distinct advantage in getting through to my students.I am ready to be there for my students as a dedicated, compassionate, and reliable tutor. I'm still a student myself, so I understand how frustrating and tedious learning can be. That said, learning doesn't have to be tedious or frustrating. As your tutor, I'll do my best to make our lessons both enjoyable and effective. Thank you for reading this, and I hope to work with you!

I can teach you to speak, read and write in Arabic and Spanish. Alternatively, you can choose to study Arabic or Spanish only. I am also a fun and energetic teacher of English Language Arts and social studies and Eurasian history.

I am an experienced tutor, who has helped students raise their grades and succeed on college entrance exams.

I have been a high school educator for ten years and am especially interested in helping students to learn communication skills in English, German and other languages. I received a BA from Northwestern College, Watertown, WI and a masters from Wisconsin Lutheran Seminary. I am the World Language department chair at my school and teach all four levels of German, and also have experience in teaching high school Latin as well. My German students who have gone on to college German have consistently tested into higher levels of the program. I also have extensive classroom experience in helping students become better readers and writers in English. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, watching and playing sports, exercise and writing.

I believe that every person has the right to an education, and I am happy to do my part to allow that to happen. Whether students are looking for revision, assistance, or clarification, I am eager to help them achieve their goals. I have a Bachelor and Masters degree in Latin and Greek, and have been tutoring individuals in those languages, as well as writing, history, and literature, for four years. I love learning, love teaching, and want to spread the joy that I have found through education.

I am a senior graduating from Yale University this spring with a major in Music. I graduated from high school at Sidwell Friends in 2015, where I was academically focused on math and physics. I also prepared for and took the ACT in my senior year. I'm ready to help students with any of these subjects, particularly ACT test prep, math, or writing, a favorite hobby of mine. I know what it's like to be eager about learning, but not have the natural ability to be a fast learner, and I'm ready to share the tips and tricks that I've gathered with other students who want to become better learners as well. In high school, I spent much of my time working with the arts through choruses, drama, and dance; I was also a member of multiple athletic teams and the co-head of the GLSBT+ Alliance. Needless to say, I needed to find a balance between work and play! In college, I continue to be involved with music as a member of Doox of Yale, a TTBB a cappella group, where I served as Music Director my sophomore year. I have served as a Communication and Consent Educator, working with various programs to promote a positive sexual climate on campus, and am currently a First-Year Counselor. Next year, I will join the faculty at Phillips Exeter Academy as a choral assistant.

Hello! My name is Ashley Patterson, a career educator and learner for over 20 years. I live in Virginia with my family and love to help kids be the best learners they can be. Any subject from Latin to basic elementary reading or math can be easy for any person! I strive to help each learner unlock the potential in their brain :)

I am passionate about sharing my love of languages with students of all ages in a patient, encouraging and engaging tutoring approach. I grew up in a bilingual home and studied languages (grammar and literature), linguistics and psychology and completed a post-grad in higher education. I believe that being a good tutor also means being a good listener!

In my experience, the best teachers help their students understand the principles behind the material and work from there. Any subject, from Latin to history to math, can be a grueling exercise in rote memorization, but that's not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic Greek, Ancient Hebrew, and, of course, English) and I've learned that a lot of the principles of communication are universal. If you're reading this, you already know one language, so you've made the first step toward learning another! I'd love to help you go further. If it's English that's giving you trouble, I'd also be happy to be of assistance. I wrote over 150 pages of independent research in college and was an editor for multiple publications. Helping people improve their writing and make stronger arguments is something I really love.
