My primary interest in tutoring comes from my background in history (BA from Brown University) and creative writing (MFA from The City College of New York).I remember the fright and joy I felt the first time I worked with students. It was in a shabby classroom in India, at a volunteer organization called the Lha Institute. The students were teenage Tibetan refugees and one monk from Thailand who was in town to learn English. The class spoke a mixture of bad English, Tibetan, and Nepali, but they had signed up for my creative writing seminar anyway. Some of them couldn't write or were afraid to share their writing, and some of them were more than eager to read personal essays about what was meaningful to them. At the end of the seminar, they gave me a gift of a pen and a special writing pad. Given their economic circumstances, this was a tremendous gift from them.

Hi there! I earned my PhD in English (a specialization in Writing and Rhetoric) this year and have tutored grade 6 students to graduate students in all aspects of writing and language arts. In addition, I have tutored ACT and SAT prep extensively. I look forward to meeting you!

I enjoy tutoring because, when my students succeed, I get to be a link in their larger success chain. My favorite notes are from students who write to tell me that they just got their law degree, or PhD, or made it into the Naval Academy. (Go Navy!)I personally graduated cum laude with a double bachelors in Sociology and Historical Studies from the University of Texas at Dallas. I specialize in shepherding students through the SAT and ACT tests. As much as I enjoy math, I especially enjoy tutoring reading and writing because getting very good with that skillset has the most carryover value to the real world for most students.If I had to describe my teaching philosophy it would be, "Take your goals seriously. Invest in yourself. Lace in. Win through." In my spare time I enjoy reading and writing, and working out. I probably read about 30 books a year and I've written six books including several tutoring books-- since 2015.

Hi! I'm a recent Stanford graduate (Electrical Engineering and Computer Science), and have been working at a major Management Consulting firm for a few years now. I personally scored a 2360 (out of 2400) on the SAT and 35 on the ACT and was successful in gaining admission to several top universities. I'm looking forward to helping you improve your scores towards improving your chances at getting in to your dream school.

I have a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin???Milwaukee in English and am currently working as a composition instructor at Milwaukee Area Technical College and at Bryant and Stratton College. I have also lived and worked as a second language teacher in Japan, Thailand and Saudi Arabia. Aside from teaching, I also am a writer and a translator (Japanese to English).I have worked as a tutor at the Writing Center at UW-M and have also studied tutoring pedagogy. My method of tutoring is to first discuss the assignment with the student, read the assignment prompt and then read the student's essay. I work top-down; that is, I look for higher level problems, and a fully developed thesis statement and/or clear supporting evidence, before looking at mechanical issues such as grammar and spelling. This method is student-centered, and I work to get the student writers to understand how to become better writers for themselves.

I am an undergraduate Economics student at University of Michigan's honors program. I have experience tutoring how to use excel, math through the calculus level, and micro and macro economics. I try to build students from what they understand to what they are trying to learn.

My passion for the Spanish language began about seven years ago when I was still in high school. It is something I wanted to pursue farther in my life and I have achieved that goal. I have a year experience tutoring university students and non traditional university students with beginning to intermediate/advanced Spanish. It is rewarding when students return to tell me that they did well on a quiz or exam. This was a paid position that I earned, and I had to be appointed and approved by several professors to get the job that I did. This means my grades in Spanish were exceptional. I would love to work with students of any age and would be willing to adapt to different learning styles.As far as other experience goes, I lived and studied in Salamanca, Spain for three months as well as lived and studied in Samara, Monteverde, and Buena Vista, Costa Rica for two weeks. I have also traveled to other Spanish speaking countries such as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. I have a strong passion for the language and everyday I strive to be better than I was yesterday. Living in these foreign countries helped me learn faster and even more than if I would have stayed in the States, because being forced to speak the language and make mistakes is all part of the learning process and if mistakes aren't made, neither is progress.What makes me an excellent tutor aside from my fluency in the language is my ability to be flexible. I don't have a certain "style" of tutoring, because that may not work for all students. Instead, I ask the students how they would like to best and then I adapt my teaching ways to what I believe they will benefit from the most.

I am currently a freshman at the University of California, Berkeley pursuing a degree in Computer Science and Business Administration. Since 10th grade, I've taken part in tutoring students from underserved areas in STEM-related subjects. Working with non-profits in my area, I was able to help numerous elementary, middle, and high school students learn the fundamentals of science. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about math and computer science. Helping students learn the abstract concepts found in math and computer science have been very rewarding and quite fun. I believe that education is for everyone and that anyone who puts in enough effort can reap the rewards and satisfaction of not only getting a problem right on an exam but develop a lifelong love for learning. Aside from school, I played soccer nearly all of my life and am a HUGE soccer fan. I also love reading about the latest and greatest tech and love to play the newest video games.

A fun tutor who enjoys helping others; I've had two years of tutoring experience at the University of Houston. I feel comfortable tutoring people of all ages and have worked mainly with freshmen and sophomores. I also love tutoring middle school students, high school students, and adults.

I graduated from Boston Latin Academy in 2005, with a Boston Scholars Full Tuition Merit Scholarship to Boston University. I graduated in 2009 with a B.A. in Political Science, and a minor in Religion. In May 2013, I received my J.D. from American University Washington College of Law and took the Massachusetts Bar Exam in July 2013. During my time at American University, I excelled at legal writing, and my work was published in the Administrative Law Review.My older brother is autistic and my younger brother is seven years younger than me, so I grew up helping them with homework and various other challenges. Additionally, I was a senior camp counselor at the Hyde Park Municipal Building from 2002 to 2006, and oversaw and directed junior staff members. During law school, I was an Articles Editor on the Administrative Law Review, and managed a staff of 5 to 10 people, as we edited pieces to be published in the journal. In this capacity, I oversaw all editing on my pieces, provided guidance and feedback to staff members about their editing skills, and trained staff members. I am very passionate about writing, and I really enjoyed the training and feedback aspects of my editing job.I tutor Advanced Placement, LSAT, Essays, Editing, Literature, ISEE Verbal/English, SAT Verbal, SAT Writing and Beginner Latin. I especially like to tutor writing, because it is my belief that with a little guidance, anyone can write. I also enjoy tutoring beginner Latin because as someone who took six years of Latin including AP Virgil, I understand how challenging Latin can be at first. Finally I also enjoy tutoring for the LSAT because my experience at law school and taking the bar exam has taught me that the questions on the LSAT, particularly the Logical Reasoning sections, are very similar to the questions on the MBE portion of the the Bar Exam, and I feel confident in my ability to teach reading these questions with a critical eye, and explaining test taking strategies.Since I have taken several standardized tests, including the ISEE, the MCAS, the PSAT, the SAT, AP Literature, AP English, AP Vergil, AP Microeconomics, AP Macroeconomics, the LSAT, the MPRE, and the Massachusetts Bar Exam, where applicable, I incorporate a lot of test taking strategies into my tutoring sessions. On standardized tests, test taking strategies are crucial to helping students grapple with intimidating questions that may cause students to freeze up, and I make an effort to address test anxiety when I tutor.Aside from tutoring, I like to run, do yoga, read, cook, travel and I enjoy Irish step.
