Most math-heavy students treat reading as something they're either naturally good at or not — Samuel's 1590 SAT proves that analytical thinkers can be precise, strategic readers too. He approaches passages the way he'd approach a proof: breaking down the structure, identifying what each paragraph actually contributes, and teaching students to extract an author's argument with the same rigor they'd use to solve an equation.

A chemistry master's degree means Madhura spent years decoding dense, jargon-heavy texts where misreading one sentence derails the whole experiment — a skill she now channels into teaching students how to pull meaning from unfamiliar passages and track an author's logic across paragraphs. Her high school teaching and SAT/ACT coaching background gives her a clear read on where comprehension habits break down, especially for students transitioning from simple narratives to more demanding nonfiction. Rated 4.7 by students.

Strong readers don't just decode words — they track arguments, question assumptions, and notice how structure shapes meaning. Patrice developed these analytical reading habits at the University of Chicago's rigorous Core Curriculum and now spends her teaching career showing high school students how to engage actively with complex texts across fiction, nonfiction, and poetry.

Strong readers don't just decode words — they track arguments, anticipate structure, and question what they're reading in real time. Adrianne teaches these active reading strategies explicitly, showing students how to annotate for main ideas, identify an author's purpose, and synthesize information across complex texts.

Whether a student is decoding their first chapter book or struggling with reading comprehension on standardized passages, the underlying challenge is usually the same: connecting words on a page to meaning. Emma teaches active reading strategies — annotation, prediction, questioning — that turn passive readers into engaged ones. Her Master's in Education means she can pinpoint whether the gap is vocabulary, fluency, or inference and address it directly.

Training for both PK-4 General Education and PK-8 Special Education certificates means Zora has learned to adapt reading instruction for kids whose needs look nothing alike — a first grader still building phonemic awareness and a fifth grader who decodes fine but can't summarize a paragraph. Her background in Applied Developmental Psychology sharpens that flexibility, giving her a framework for understanding why a particular reading skill stalls at a particular age rather than just drilling the skill harder.

Strong readers don't just decode words — they track an author's argument, anticipate shifts in tone, and distinguish main ideas from supporting details. Alexander spent years as an instructional assistant working with students across grade levels on exactly these comprehension strategies. He's particularly effective at teaching students to annotate actively and ask questions of a text rather than passively scanning it.

An anthropology degree means Zoe spent years reading ethnographies, field studies, and cultural analyses where understanding context and authorial perspective isn't optional — it's the entire point. She brings that same interpretive mindset to reading sessions, teaching students how to pick up on what a writer is doing structurally and why certain details matter more than others. Rated 4.8 by students.

Homeschooling her son from kindergarten through high school meant Anita taught reading at every stage — from early phonics all the way to dissecting college-level essays and novels — and her dual English degrees (BA and MA) gave her the literary training to do it with real depth. She zeroes in on how a student interacts with a text in real time, catching whether the issue is vocabulary, sentence structure, or losing the thread of an argument across paragraphs. Holds a 5.0 rating.

Strong readers don't just decode words — they track an author's argument, question assumptions, and notice when a text shifts direction. Nathaniel spent graduate school dissecting dense primary sources and historiographical debates, and he brings that same analytical lens to reading instruction. He teaches strategies like annotation, summarization, and inference-building that make complex texts manageable.

Strong reading comprehension isn't just about vocabulary — it's about tracking an author's argument across paragraphs, recognizing when tone shifts, and distinguishing main ideas from supporting details. Desiree's English education background means she can pinpoint exactly where a student's comprehension breaks down and teach targeted strategies like annotation, summarization, and inference-building to close that gap.

I am finishing up my first year at Princeton University, still undecided but leaning towards studying Sociology. I have experience working with pre-K students through adults in a variety of topics ranging from environmental education to conversational English practice. I spent a year in Indonesia working at a disability rights NGO and helping my adult coworkers as well as elementary school- and college-aged students develop English language skills. I am very passionate about educational equity, and want to assist all students in accessing strong educational resources. I am able to tutor a wide range of topics, from standardized test prep to English to elementary/middle school Math and more. I also play violin and can help students with music theory, composition and general violin skills as well.

I am a social studies teacher. I have taught World History and Economics to 10th and 12th graders, as well as Global Studies to 8th graders. I was a graduate student at the University of Minnesota and obtained a Master's of Education in Social Studies Secondary Education (grades 5-12). I received my undergraduate degree in History in 2013 from Washington University in St. Louis.

I am happy to accommodate and work with learners on the spectrum.

I'm a Chemical Engineering graduate of the University of Pittsburgh (Class of 2021)mand received a full tuition merit scholarship to attend. I have tutored high school and college students in Math, Spanish, French, Chemistry, and Physics. I got my start in tutoring in high school when I would help my friends study for tests. I realized how much I liked it, and I continued tutoring through college. My favorite subjects to tutor are Math, Chemistry, Spanish, and French.

I am a graduate from Georgetown University, where I received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics with a minor in Music. I'm currently pursuing a Master's of Science in Business Analytics at Carnegie Mellon University. I've been tutoring since I started high school, focusing on mathematics and writing. Throughout my college career I was employed both privately and by Georgetown University to tutor peers and high school students in the Washington, D.C. area. I worked with students taking classes in all levels of mathematics falling under Algebra, Calculus, Combinatorics, and Problem Solving.

I'm a recent graduate of the University of Chicago (AB'17) where I studied English Language and Literature, and Linguistics. I have experience coaching students writing and editing college essays, resume/cover letters, and academic papers of all kinds. I was a content writer for a small Chicago start-up and later worked as a game designer for the University's game lab. I enjoy writing, dancing, reading, roller blading, and playing video games in my free time.

I am a third-year undergraduate student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Voice and Opera Performance with minors in Music Education and French and Francophone Studies. My ultimate goal is to become a teacher because I love working with students to help them achieve mastery of their subject(s)!

I am a sophomore at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, majoring in music and computational biology. I have always had a passion for teaching, and have experience tutoring students in a wide range of grade levels and subjects throughout my years in middle school, high school, and my freshman year at MIT through the Academic Teaching Initiative. I hope to help, and have had past success in helping, students succeed at whatever their goals may be; improved grades, improved standardized test scores, even college admissions. I hope to not only aid students in reaching checkpoints, but also to give them the personal interest in their material and the curiosity to help them move forward and continue to succeed in the future. The majority of my experience lies in tutoring middle school and high school math, middle school science, and biology, but I am also qualified to tutor high school science, a large number of AP exams, the PSAT, and the ACT. Given my current status as an undergraduate student, I am also uniquely able to offer mentoring and advice to any student interested in student life in college and college admissions. More than anything, I strive to be an approachable and reliable tutor whom my students feel that they can be comfortable with, because it is when a student is aware that their teacher is on their side that they feel comfortable thinking and asking questions in the ways that will help them grow. In my free time, I study music and vocal pedagogy, practice makeup artistry, and watch films.

I'm a first-year med student at Pitt Med. I graduated from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts with a BS in Biology this past May. As much as I love medicine and the hard sciences, most of my tutoring experience is in general ACT prep, in addition to academic and creative writing, middle school math and reading, and high school and college math. Some of my favorite all-time classes were medical sociology in college and AP US Government and Politics in high school. Through Tufts, I taught English as a second language (3 semesters) and citizenship exam prep (1 semester) to Hispanic immigrants and refugees, which taught me a lot about how to gauge students' understanding, teach tough subjects, plan activities, provide flashcards and the best possible study materials, and make the most of the students' time. I love tutoring because I know how much a tutor's patience one-on-one can make the difference. I love sharing my study tips and test-taking strategies so they can study efficiently and make the best use of their time to get that desired result. I want students to feel heard and supported and help them find methods best suited to them. I want to help students enjoy learning and find more confidence in themselves through mastering tough subject matter.

I am a student at the University of Pittsburgh, graduating in May with a major in Neuroscience and minors in Chemistry and Spanish. I've been teaching and tutoring for a year and a half as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant in the Chemistry department, working with students one on one and in small groups in General and Organic Chemistry. As a pre-medical student and a Neuroscience major, I've taken extensive coursework in biology, physiology, physics and math, so I am qualified to tutor those subjects as well.

I'm a Software Engineer at Dick's Sporting Goods and a student at the University of Pittsburgh studying Computer Science. I strongly believe in the education of technology driven academia for the young. It is my mission to ensure that any youth who wishes to be educated in a STEM field have that opportunity.

I am a rising Sophomore studying Mechanical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. I graduated at James E. Taylor High School as rank 7 out of over 600 students and swam for my high school swim team for 4 years. Currently, I'd say I'm most experienced in math and science and above average in English and would feel most comfortable teaching any of these subjects. I'm welcome to any other subjects and will try to provide the best tutoring services for you.

I am a current undergraduate student at the University of Pittsburgh, studying Political Science and Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I have ample experience in tutoring and working with children ranging from preschool to 12th grade. Through the Bev Hickman Writing Center at Catonsville High School, I received a full school year's worth of intense writing tutoring training, including AP essays, college applications, cover letters, resumes, and other class assignments. I have also gained experience in childcare through Trinity Summer Camp, where I worked as a counselor for ages 3.5 to 5 for 7 weeks; we focused on creating an enriching environment for education and fun, managing a wide array of behaviors and personalities.

I am a freshman at the University of Pittsburgh. I am double majoring in Economics and History and Philosophy of Science and minoring in Legal Studies. Throughout my high school career, I was part of National Honor Society, where I gained much of my tutoring experience. I have tutored students of all ages, from elementary school to high schoolers.

I am a student at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU). I have spent a large portion of my life outside of the United States and am fluent in Spanish and currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing and theatre, reading, playing the piano, climbing trees and doing anything outdoors. I have been tutoring Spanish at CMU for a year now, and am also well versed in History, Geography, and Math. I look forward to working with.

I am currently a student at Carnegie Mellon University studying Physics and Engineering. I have a strong interest in aerospace engineering and fluid dynamics.

I am a student of Architecture completing my Bachelor's degree at Virginia Tech. For as long as I can remember I have loved helping younger students master subjects I enjoy. One of my greatest pleasures is helping find that special something in the topic at hand that ignites a passion in the student's eyes, where they gain a connection with the material that will nourish their study for years to come. Teaching math and music have always been strong points for me, but language is my greatest focus. Having self-taught Spanish in high school, I'm bilingual and have had the privilege of volunteering on multiple occasions as a translator for groups traveling to Latin America. When it comes to the SATs, a lot of students become incredibly overwhelmed, but from my experience, with some help and effective practice, anyone can navigate them successfully, and to the best of their ability. Whenever I'm free and the weather's good, all I need is a rugged trail or a soccer ball and some competition to challenge me. However, when Pittsburgh is its dreary, rainy self, you can find me in front of a good book or blank canvas accompanied by a warm cup of tea.

Strong reading skills are really about asking the right questions mid-sentence: What does this word mean in context? Why did the author shift tone here? What's being implied but never stated? Elsie, a 5.0-rated tutor with graduate-level training in literary analysis, teaches students to actively interrogate texts rather than passively absorb them — a habit that pays off in every subject, not just English.

I am not working in an educational setting, I enjoy spending the majority of my time outdoors. Biking, running, and hiking are ways I can stay active and are great ways to decompress! One of the events I look forward to the most are the bike trips I am honored to take with Pittsburgh Youth Leadership, a program that provides an opportunity for youth in the city of Pittsburgh to see our nation while on two wheels.

I am a graduate of Geneva College with a B.S. degree in Educational Studies, specializing in Elementary and Special Education. I hold a Pennsylvania Elementary Education certificate (Grades K-8.) I have worked with children in classroom and daycare settings for five years. I can tutor a wide range of subjects, but my specialties are language arts and math. I have experience working with students with special needs, both gifted and children with physical and learning disabilities. I am familiar with IEPs and various methods to engage students, both general and special education. I enjoy tutoring because it allows me to work with a student in a way that works for them. I tailor my lessons to each student's unique learning style and interests. My philosophy of education is child first. I tailor my lessons to each student's unique learning style and interests. I believe that mixing interests with learning leads to more participation and engagement.
