I recently graduated from Bard College at Simon's Rock with a BA in Physics and Visual Studies. My research areas in Physics include quantum optics and geophysics, particularly about entanglement and the Earth's inner core, respectively. My focus in Visual Studies is lens arts and film studies with a strong lean towards formalism. The two disciplines may seem very unrelated to you, but it is the combination of the two that makes me a great student and teacher! A few fun facts about my college experience: I actually finished high school in 3 years and began college a year earlier than usual, and I studied abroad in Scotland (University of Glasgow) and the Czech Republic (Film Academy of Prague) during my junior year!My teaching experience include peer tutoring during my college years, working with both individual students and entire classes on college-level physics, math, and Spanish. Just after receiving my BA, I designed and taught my first full course on Climate Change at the 10th grade level. We covered all sorts of material, including the Physics and Chemistry of the atmosphere and ocean, all the way to a Model UN simulation to discuss global policies!I am moving onto a PhD program in Physics at Northeastern University, but I hope to continue to teaching throughout and after the program. I love helping students reach their potential. The pride and joy of watching my students come to an understanding with new concepts, develop a love for new disciplines, and find passion for learning -- it is the most beautiful thing I have experienced. And it's all thanks to you, the amazing, bright, and motivated students!

ACT English Tutor • +12 Subjects

I recently graduated from the University of Arizona with a Bachelor's of Science in Marketing and a passion for teaching others! I have five years experience working as a program aide for an elementary school and two years experience tutoring high school students. When it comes to tutoring my motto is "Show don't Tell!" and I believe that any student has the opportunity to do better with the right resources and attitude. I can help with most math and english ranging from elementary to high school as well as ACT test prep. I especially like helping with essays (providing I have read the book or material it is based on). My biggest interests outside of tutoring are beach volleyball and comedy, but I also love reading, and I even occasionally DJ.

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +16 Subjects

I have an undergraduate degree from Georgetown University and a graduate degree from Boston College. I received my Bachelor of Arts from Georgetown with a major in History and a minor in Government. I focused on both U.S. and Middle Eastern history at Georgetown, and was invited to write an Honors thesis for the History department my senior year. After graduating from Georgetown, I began my studies at Boston College where I received a Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction. I am now a history teacher at a public school in Massachusetts, where I teach U.S. History I and II, as well as Modern U.S. History. Not surprisingly, my favorite subject to teach and to tutor is History. I am most passionate about the history of the U.S. since 1945, but as I am sure most of my students will attest, I truly do find the history of any nation or time period fascinating. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring for the SATs and other standardized exams, in part because I believe that any student can improve once he or she knows how to study, and most importantly, how to build the endurance to take a standardized test as lengthy as the SAT. I approach the SATs much in the same way that I approach running – if unit tests in school are one-mile warm-ups, then the SAT is a marathon. With the right training (and dedication), I firmly believe that any student can improve. I have taught SAT prep classes in a variety of capacities. I worked for a major SAT prep company while in graduate school, and also piloted my district’s SAT prep course (which I designed the curricula for). I take a collaborative approach to teaching, and both in the classroom and one-on-one, I believe that the best way for a student to learn material is to move beyond recall and work toward synthesis and analysis for complete understanding. When I’m not teaching or tutoring, I love to read history books (especially those about Robert Kennedy), run (long distances – in all types of weather), and travel. The most incredible place I have been is Tanzania – if I hadn’t packed three massive Teddy Roosevelt biographies in my suitcase, I definitely would have brought home many more souvenirs.

I believe that education should be a diverse, student-focused, lifelong pursuit. I earned a BS in Economics and a minor in Film and Media studies from the University of Rochester, and am always seeking out new learning opportunities in my post graduate life. Through participation in a volunteer tutoring program on weekends, I discovered the satisfaction of helping students reach their potential. I've found that any student can enjoy learning when it's catered to their learning style and needs. A strong education can be a path not only to academic success, but also personal growth. Students aren't just learning science or writing, they're learning confidence, independence, and good habits.

I have an Associates degree in Early Childhood Education, and a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Psychology. I believe any child can learn as long as we, as adults, are patient and kind when teaching and we find a way to make learning fun. I have ten years of experience, including with K-1 students. I have worked with students of all ages and thoroughly enjoy helping students learn and grow when struggling with English related subjects. It is important that students learn not only the content of their classes, but also how to study and prepare for academic success throughout their educational career. I look forward to working with you and/or your student!

After obtaining an Associate's Degree in Science from Navarro College, I transferred into Texas A and M's Computer Engineering department in 2015. I am currently progressing towards my Bachelor's in this area. I tutored students while attending Navarro in Math and Science. Coincidentally, these are my favorite subjects even though that is what was in demand at the time. I seemed to flourish in these subjects when I broke theorems down into easier to understand rules, rather than always trying to apply the complicated jargon in the textbook. After implementing this into my tutoring, I noticed that it helped students feel at ease with the material. When I am not studying, I like to workout and practice overall fitness.

Frequently Asked Questions

Admissions committees want essays that reveal something authentic about who you are as a person and thinker, not just your credentials. The strongest essays typically feature a clear narrative or argument, specific examples that illustrate your point, and genuine reflection on why law school matters to you. They avoid clichés, demonstrate self-awareness, and show how your background or experiences have shaped your perspective on justice, problem-solving, or service.

A tutor can provide detailed feedback on your writing that goes beyond surface-level editing—they'll help you identify patterns in how you argue, where your authentic voice shines through, and areas where you're relying on overly formal or generic language. Through revision cycles and targeted discussion, tutors help you find the balance between demonstrating intellectual rigor and maintaining a natural, compelling tone. This personalized guidance is especially valuable because your essay voice should feel distinctly like you, not like a template.

Your personal statement typically focuses on a formative experience or aspect of your identity that shaped who you are, while a diversity essay explores how a specific background has influenced your perspective. A 'Why Law' essay directly addresses your motivations for pursuing a legal career and what you hope to accomplish. Tutors can help you develop a strategy for how these essays work together to create a complete picture of you as an applicant, ensuring each essay serves a distinct purpose without excessive overlap.

Strong law school essays typically follow a clear arc: an engaging opening that draws readers in, a developed middle section that unfolds your story or argument with specific examples, and a conclusion that ties your narrative back to your goals or values. Whether you're telling a personal story or making an argument about why law appeals to you, the structure should create momentum and help readers understand the significance of what you're sharing. Tutors can help you identify where your essay loses focus or where transitions between ideas feel abrupt, then work with you to strengthen the overall architecture.

Most strong application essays go through at least 3-5 meaningful revision cycles, though this varies based on where you're starting. Early drafts focus on getting your ideas and story down; middle drafts involve restructuring for clarity and impact; final drafts refine language, tone, and polish. Working with a tutor can accelerate this process by giving you targeted feedback on each draft rather than revising in isolation. They can help you identify which revisions will have the biggest impact, so you're not endlessly tweaking but strategically strengthening your essay.

Students often fall into patterns like being too formal or abstract (saying what they think admissions wants to hear rather than what's true), trying to cover too much ground (resulting in a scattered essay with no clear focus), or relying on generic phrases about the law and justice. Other common issues include weak openings that don't grab attention, insufficient specific examples to support claims, and endings that merely restate the introduction. Tutors are experienced at spotting these patterns and helping you move beyond them through targeted revision.

Writer's block on application essays often stems from pressure to make the essay perfect from the start or uncertainty about what story to tell. Tutors recommend starting with free writing or brainstorming exercises where you explore potential topics without worrying about quality, then reviewing what emerges to identify the most compelling threads. A tutor can help you generate and evaluate story ideas, ask clarifying questions that help you discover what you want to say, and create a manageable outline so you're writing with direction rather than staring at a blank page.
