Developing culturally literate curricula for middle and high schoolers — the kind where students actually want to read the assigned material — taught Elena that engagement isn't a bonus, it's the mechanism through which comprehension improves. Her McGill and Edinburgh training in religious studies means she's spent years pulling meaning from texts that are ancient, dense, and deliberately ambiguous, which translates into a knack for showing students how to wrestle with unfamiliar language and extract an author's argument even when the writing resists easy summary.

Breaking down a dense passage starts with knowing what to look for — Karen teaches active reading strategies like annotation, identifying author's purpose, and distinguishing main ideas from supporting details. Her 1530 SAT score reflects the kind of close reading skill she brings to every session, whether the text is a short story or a nonfiction argument.

An avid reader herself, Kathryn approaches reading instruction by teaching students how to actively interrogate a text: identifying an author's purpose, tracking arguments across paragraphs, and distinguishing main ideas from supporting detail. These skills transfer directly to stronger performance in every other subject.

I am a graduate of the University of Calgary, where I received my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Since graduation, I have worked as a software developer and have practical experience with variety of technologies. I tutor a variety of subjects related to Computer Science, including computer languages used in web development like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Ruby. My favorite part of teaching Computer Science concepts is helping students break down a complicated subject into manageable parts and build up a powerful understanding -- much like the practice of software engineering itself. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, music, art, and hiking.

I am a former elementary and middle-school teacher and am now looking to use my teaching knowledge and experience to tutor. I received my bachelor's degree in Science-Business from the University of Notre Dame and my master's degree in Secondary Education from Providence College. I taught 5-8th grade math for two years and 5th grade math, English/Language Arts, Reading, and Religion for 1 year. I am no longer teaching because I am back in school myself, but would love to use my experience as an educator to tutor you or your child!

I am a recent graduate with a master's in electrical engineering from Case Western Reserve University. I won the Bill and Melinda Gates Millennium Scholarship which covers full tuition up to Ph.D. I was on the Dean's List for three consecutive years. Additionally, I won the OZY Media Genius Award in 2015 to work on high-temperature superconductors. I currently work as a Technology Analyst at Accenture. I am also seriously considering whether I should go for a Ph.D. or not.

I am most interested in tutoring Math (geometry, algebra 1/2/prealgebra, trigonometry), Physics 1 and 2, General Chemistry (Honors, AP, or college level), and the MCAT Foundations of Physical Science and Critical Analysis and Reasoning sections.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.

I am a recent college graduate looking for opportunities to tutor and get involved with education before I attend medical school this fall. I have a bachelor's of science from the University of Akron and my academic areas of focus where I am best prepared to teach are animal and cell physiology, immunology, biochemistry, and preparing for the MCAT. I took the MCAT this past January and am hoping to share some of the techniques that worked for me while the test is still fresh in my mind. For the ACT I would feel comfortable teaching the reading and science sections since those are my strong points.

I am a recent graduate from The Ohio State University with a passion for sharing knowledge with those around me. During my time at Ohio State University I studied the science of Human Nutrition which included courses of Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Calculus, Microbiology, Molecular Genetics, Nutrition, and several others. I plan to attend graduate school for a nurse practitioner program beginning in January 2017. I have tutored a variety of a subjects and with all age groups. Most recently I worked with high school aged students in the subjects of science, math, and ACT/SAT test prep. My goal as a tutor is to make learning a fun and applicable experience for everyone! My favorite subjects to tutor are science subjects and ACT prep. Outside of tutoring I enjoy spending my time in nature, reading, and hanging out with friends. I look forward to meeting you!

I am very skilled at tutoring the mathematics and verbal section of the SAT, as well as the Physical and Chemical, CARS and Bio and Biochem sections of the MCAT. I also love teaching chemistry, biochemistry and biology at the highschool, AP or college level.

I am currently studying to be an Industrial Systems Engineer with a Spanish minor at The Ohio State University. I'm an aunt to four and love working with them. I'm looking forward to working with you, too!
