Kari
BA Loyola University-Chicago
1+ Years Tutoring

I am creative and enjoy thinking from several viewpoints, which allows me to engage students of all learning styles. Although I tutor a variety of subjects, I especially love English, Literature, and Shakespeare because those subjects allow me to engage students in discussions where I learn just as much from their perspectives as they do from mine! Even though I enjoy these areas, I find that I can easily carry that passion into all areas of learning.

1+ Years Tutoring

I'm originally from New York City, but have been living in Minneapolis, Minnesota for the past 12 years. I'm thrilled to be back in NYC as a pre-med and Comparative Literature student at Columbia University. I completed my high school career at St. Paul Academy and Summit School, a small prep-school with a heavy emphasis on writing and discussion. I worked as the editor of my high school's national and state award-winning newsmagazine, The Rubicon, and have closely edited hundreds of drafts, worked one-on-one with a staff of 26 editors and writers (ages 15-18), and written a few articles too in between it all! I'm happiest learning and sharing my knowledge with people of all ages.

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.

Reid
PhD Harvard University • BA Wesleyan University
1+ Years Tutoring

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.

Charles
BA Yale University
1+ Years Tutoring

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!

Christopher
BA Harvard College
1+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and am about to declare as a Mechanical Engineering concentrator, working towards a Bachelor of Science degree. I've always enjoyed sharing my knowledge with my peers and those around me and have done so in both formal and informal settings. I've been a tutor for both Math and Spanish programs in high school and enjoyed the strides I made with students. I am willing to tutor any subject I have a background in, but am strong in mathematics, the sciences, Spanish, history, writing, and ACT prep. I enjoy teaching mathematics most due to the joy I can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on me always left the most lasting impressions. Outside of my studies, I really enjoy listening to music, both old favorites and new interests, reading classics, and gaming/playing basketball with my friends.

This personalized approach is especially effective for helping students catch up or move ahead in their grade-level curriculum.

The first session is an opportunity for the tutor to get to know your student, understand their learning style, and identify specific areas where they need help. The tutor will ask questions about your student's goals, any challenges they're facing, and what they've already tried. From there, you'll work together to create a plan for ongoing sessions that targets your student's needs.

Tutoring costs vary based on the subject, tutor's experience, and how frequently you want sessions. We work with families to find tutoring options that fit their budget. When you connect with us, we can discuss your needs and provide transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect.
