I know and understand student's challenges with mathematics. I am a patient teacher who will take you through any difficulties from scratch, step by step I will get you there. I love seeing my students improve in their studies. I speak both Spanish and English and can teach either of these subjects. I am also well experienced with the state core standards.-Juma

I recently graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston with a Masters Degree in English. I love learning and I believe that it can be enlightening and fun. But, I also know that the process can be frustrating at times. The mark of a great tutor is his or her ability to address each individual's needs so that learning can become an empowering tool rather than a stumbling block. Working with students in small groups and in one-on-one settings to this end is a passion of mine. I love collaborating with individuals to better understand their learning style and to best help them succeed. I tutor for all things English related, but I also offer Math help from the elementary level up through middle school and Geometry. I also believe that there is a balance between working hard and letting yourself play and relax, no matter how old you get! Things I like to do for fun are read a good book, write creatively, watch great films and talk about them, take a hike, go running, volunteer in my community, cook delicious dishes, explore new places and meet new people. I hope to meet you soon!

I want to be a positive light for all students, especially those who find school to be difficult. Many times a student has experienced challenges with reading which causes them to not enjoy it as much mostly because it has been hard for them.I am passionate about literacy and I make it my goal to help the students gain a positive reading experience that will foster a love for literacy and learning. Hopefully this positive light will carry over into their future.My experience in working with students is with kindergarten through eighth graders in the school setting. I have been a 5th grade classroom teacher for 10 years, then I served as a 7th and 8th grade teacher for 3 years. More recently I spent 8 years as a Reading Specialist for grades K-4 before becoming a Principal for a K-3 elementary school.I earned my Bachelor's degree from Bowling Green State University, then I earned my first Master's degree in Reading Instruction from Aurora University. Recently, I earned a second Master's degree in Educational Administration from Concordia University.My favorite subjects to tutor are Reading, Writing and English Language Arts. These are my favorite because I am an avid reader and I find enjoyment in escaping to the setting of the book as a character from the story.In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family and new granddaughter. I also love family vacations by the water, swimming, biking, walking, and reading.

My philosophy as a tutor and teacher is to guide, rather than direct, each student's learning and to recognize and adapt to the unique abilities and levels of every student. I believe that every student's needs are different and that the best way for the tutor or teacher to address these diverse needs is to listen to the student.In addition, I think it's important to use the knowledge that students already have to allow them to discover and intuit answers that they didn't know they were capable of producing. This requires enhancing each student's confidence as developing writers and readers.My extensive experience as a tutor and teacher has informed this approach. I've worked for three years at a local university's writing center, and for two and a half years as an adjunct English composition professor.

I am a Los Angeles area native, and hold a JD from the University of Virginia School of Law, as well as a B.A. in English from Tulane University in New Orleans. I have been a California licensed attorney since December of 2011, and currently practice full-time as a Law Clerk for four Los Angeles Superior Court Judges.Since I finished my undergraduate degree, I have tutored many high school and college students in essay writing and test prep. In particular, I love helping people improve their writing. While there are undoubtedly many great tutors in the area, I believe I bring a unique perspective with my legal writing experience. With this background, I strive to help students not only improve their academic performance in the short term, but also develop the skills they will need in their professional careers.I am available to tutor on weekday afternoons and evenings in and around the Pasadena area where I live with my wife and two children. I also may be able to tutor students near the Downtown area, where I work.Thank you for reading my profile. I hope to work with you in the future!

Hi there!I recently graduated from Syracuse University with a dual degree in English and communications. I adore the written word and spreading that love of it to young students. In college, I worked as both a Resident Advisor and a tutor to undergraduate and graduate students. Both opportunities gave me the chance to work with, mentor, and educate peers on curricular and co-curricular studies. Sharing my love of reading and writing is a great thrill of mine and I feel honored to get such an opportunity to do so.In terms of academia, my dual degree lent me the chance to hone my communications skills (I now work full time at a television production company focusing on documentary-style TV) as well as my skills in English. As a result, I became well-educated in both classic literature as well as contemporary literary theory focusing on a variety of topics such as gender, media, class and social structure, and an assortment of other theories and topics (all of which I'd love to chat about if given the opportunity).In my downtime, I love exploring and trying new things (mainly food) and I'm an avid animal lover.Here's some additional trivia about me:I was originally born in Texas (Air Force family)Trying new restaurants is one of my favorite activitiesFavorite movie: The Right Stuff (that Air Force family clearly had an impact on me...)Favorite book(s): Nothing compares to the Harry Potter series, in my humble opinionFavorite animal: My two golden retrievers, Logan and Skylar (though my cats make a decent bid for this vote)Favorite TV show: Mad Men (nope, my company doesn't make it - but I'm genuinely hooked on this series)I warmly encourage you to contact me! I look forward to meeting you.-Erin

Hello students! My name is Kyle and I am a lifelong San Diegan. I currently attend Denison University in Ohio where I major in Political Science. I've had plenty of experience writing college application essays, as well as helping fellow students with their own essays. In addition, I feel that I can offer much needed clarity and advice about the college admissions process, from crafting your resume to nailing your college interview. Besides tutoring writing, I have a passion for civics and love teaching government, especially since I have had real-world experience working on political campaigns. Every AP student I have tutored, in english, history and government, has passed their exams with a three or higher. I am very proud of this fact and I look forward to having you as my student!

My name is Ketaki and I come from a beautiful town in India.I am a civil engineer by education but a teacher at core.I have helped many a students to clear their concepts in the subject math,which is more often a dreaded one. It gives me immense satisfaction to see students come out and overcome their dislike of the subject and start enjoying it.I have always felt that having knowledge is a different thing and imparting it is essential to the learning process.I think I have that ability to impart it in a manner so that it is easily understandable.I hope to reach more and more children in need and help them enjoy the subject.My hobbies include listening to soulful music ,taking long walks all by myself and enjoying quality time with my kids. I love to travel and would like to go around the world and visit places.

I am a student at Harvard studying applied math and genetics. I love to learn and teach and will offer enthusiasm and experience towards the subject(s) of interest. As someone who graduated high school only a few years ago, I understand and appreciate the rigor of preparatory school and associated exams, such as the SAT. I will dedicate myself to my students and help them grow towards their academic goals.

I am a graduate of Florida State University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Art History and English, and University of North Carolina--Chapel Hill, where I received a Master of Science in Library Science. I currently work as Assistant Curator of Visual Resources in the History of Art department at Vanderbilt University. In my downtime I enjoy reading and hiking with my dog.Art, grammar, and literature are my passions and my favorite subjects to tutor. I am highly organized and have always been successful at test-taking, however, so I have the most to offer students in that area. I believe that the goal of learning should be more than just passing a test. Instead of rote memorization, I focus on contextualizing information and making ideas relevant to students so that they retain the material long after the test has been completed.
