Hi, my name is Tyler but people call me Ty for short. I'm a sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania majoring in Political Science and Urban Studies with a minor in French. Education is what I believe to be the key to success and the door that opens up a better tomorrow. Reliability, credibility, and efficiency are skills I will always continue to improve on because there is no such thing as perfect. Be friendly, be positive, and be motivated. But don't forget to be happy! Favorite quote and my go-to motto, "Be the change you wish to see in the world."

I am a Summa Cum Laude ("with highest distinction") graduate of California State University, Sacramento. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, with a strong focus on research and academic writing. I am currently earning my Master of Social Work from Simmons University. During my time at CSU Sacramento, I tutored high school and college students from the Sacramento area, San Francisco Bay area, and Greater Los Angeles area. I supported high school students in their preparation for ACT/SAT English and writing exams. I helped my college students learn new writing styles, improve their understanding of APA/MLA formatting, and edit their papers for the highest grade possible. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most interested in Psychology, English, Writing, and Research Methods. In my experience, students who struggle with Standardized Testing tend to enjoy the learning process most when collaborating alongside me, instead of my teaching being imposed on them. I value my students' feedback, effort, and teamwork in creating lesson plans that work for them! I feel strongly that learning should be a fun, enriching process that engages students in critical thinking. I try my best to keep all of my tutoring lessons as entertaining and engaging as possible! It has been most rewarding to see my students' grades go from Cs and Ds to As and Bs. In my free time, I enjoy reading books on my Kindle, listening to true crime podcasts, going on road trips, and hanging out with my dogs.

My name is Kat, and I love to tutor and work with new students! I have experience working with students of all ages. I'm patient and kind, and I believe my students' interests and educational goals are top priority. Thanks for considering me as your tutor!

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University, where I majored in Public Policy and minored in English- Creative Writing. I am experienced in and passionate about the humanities primarily; my main areas of expertise are writing, political science, and literature. I am also a strong math tutor, scoring highly on exams like AP Calculus. In high school, I tutored in my school's writing center for years and continued proofreading college essays for public school students across Chicago since graduating. I am still interested in college essay tutoring, and I have experience helping students with Common app essays and many individual supplemental essays. Outside of my studies and tutoring, I am an avid music lover-- both a listener and performer-- and I love writing non-academic works for fun.

I received my K-12 education in Spartanburg, SC District #6. I graduated from Dorman High School and am still VERY proud to call myself a Cavalier. From Dorman, I went to Winthrop University (college at the time I attended) and received a Bachelor's Degree in Business Education. At that time in history, there was a teacher overage and I was out of school working temporary jobs when I decided to go back to school for my Master's Degree. I attended Converse College in Spartanburg, SC and received a Master's Degree in Special Education. I am currently seeking an Ed.S. from East Carolina University in Educational Leadership.I have been in education for 27 years and have taught students from ages 4-84. My favorite subject to tutor is accounting. I LOVE accounting. It makes sense to me. I have a minor in accounting, but choose to go the education route in undergraduate. I believe that education gives one what one puts in. I have worked with very smart students who were lazy and did poorly in the academic arena and students who were not so smart but worked hard and were very successful in their academics.Outside of the academic world, I love to go camping and sit and read. Over Memorial Day, my family and I went to the beach and in two days, I read two complete books. I was in my happy place.

My name is Amanda Poythress, and I've been working in the Education field for three years, now. I graduated from UCF in Orlando, Florida in December of 2013 and I've been working in schools ever since. I almost accidentally fell into education--I always thought I would use my English Lit degree to do something like editing for a publishing company (which I have done!) or writing my own novels (which I am currently working on!). I ended up substitute teaching in Florida for a few months and I found out that I was pretty good at it! There's a satisfaction that comes out of working with students, either in a large classroom setting or personally one-on-one and watching them learn new concepts or master old ones that is so satisfying.Since moving to Chicago in 2014, I've worked exclusively with three South Side Elementary schools. I have experience working with kids from Pre-K all the way up to 12th grade, but during my long-term positions, I've mainly taught Middle School division age kids (6th-8th). While I've worked in all subject fields (and a lot of Math!), my greatest passion is English and Literature. I love reading, it's probably what I spend the most time doing. I also love writing; be it fictional composition, analytical non-fiction based on books or academic essays, or personal non-fiction essays, I love all of it. I also find myself driven to help those struggling with composition or reading find if not a love, then an appreciation for the subject that can help them later on in life.My degree is in English Literature, and I've taken countless classes in genre and strategy-specific survey. I can analyze like the best of them, and it's my goal to help students do it too. In high school I took ten AP or Dual Enrollment classes between three years, so I understand the structure of the tests as well as how hard it is to juggle college course load on top of high school course load.My approach to teaching is to engage, engage, engage! I don't want to just lecture to a glassy-eyed student for an hour. That's a waste of their time as well as mine. And I understand that as a student getting tutoring, you're going above and beyond your classmates when it comes to time spent engaging with Education. That's a hard thing to concentrate on! I want to make it fun and challenging, but not hard and boring. I want you to learn, to further yourself, to become the student YOU want to be. My goal isn't to bog you down with extra work, it's to lift you up to new heights of understanding.I hope I have the opportunity to serve you, the students, and make a positive impact on this city that I've grown to love.

I am a graduate student at the University of Arizona seeking a PhD in English Literature. I previously received my BA in English with a focus in Professional Writing from St. Catherine University. As part of my role as a grad student, I also work as a Graduate Assistant Teacher. I teach writing composition and American and British literature courses.I have experience teaching students with varying proficiency levels, including some whose first language isn't English. I believe in meeting students where they are at in order to help them develop and refine their writing, editing, and reading comprehension skills. Writing and reading comprehension are two incredibly valuable skills, both inside and outside of the classroom, and I hope to help students become more comfortable with using those skills.

Hi, my name is Jake Meline and I'm a second year student at Loyola University Chicago. It is my goal to tutor you to the best of my abilities and to equip you with the tools to succeed in the classroom. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a graduate of the University of Michigan in Sociology. I went through the International Baccalaureate program at the first all IB program high school; International Academy in Michigan. My favorite subject to teach is english and writing types of work. I love analysis, processing, and reading comprehension. It is so fun to teach and learn at all aspects, and there is always something more to learn! I love to teach, I love to learn, and I love to help, so that is what I am here for! In my spare time, outside of teaching and learning, I play a good amount of Xbox, I love trading cards, and I am what one would call a "sneakerhead" (someone who loves, collects, and is deeply involved in the sneaker culture).
