I believe that all students can achieve. It takes someone who is willing to work with each student to find out how they learn and apply those techniques to help the student learn.

Hi, I'm Savannah! I am just finishing the final semester of my undergraduate work at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education where I studied Applied Developmental Psychology. I will be starting my graduate program in the summer at the same school focusing on Instruction and Learning. I have always had a passion for teaching and learning that has been further developed during my time in the CASE program at Pitt where we focused on learning not only how to teach well but also how to serve the overlooked populations of our society through education. My underlying goal as an educator is to bring social change to my classroom, in the lives of the individual students, in the school culture as a whole, and ultimately somewhere within the greater education system. I want each of my students to know their worth and their value, to feel loved and respected, and to feel welcome and safe. I want to teach them how to read, but even more than that I want to teach them how to be successful and equip them with the tools necessary to achieve that success. My goal is to carry over this philosophy in my tutoring too!

I consider myself an exception to the rule. Why? In high school, I played the flute and piccolo and marched during halftime while wearing my cheerleading uniform. I also graduated from the International Baccalaureate program. At Texas A&M University, I studied mechanical engineering and worked as a resident assistant in a private dorm where I put on social events, including Calculus tutoring. I took tumbling twice for fun and I minored in mathematics because the idea of taking additional math classes made me excited. After college, I joined Teach For America and taught 6th grade science for three years because teaching students was more appealing to me than making money in engineering. Evidence of my love for teaching is throughout this history.In high school, I tutored fellow band members struggling in algebra, geometry, and calculus so they could pass and continue marching. I also helped lead a study group for the IB Physics HL test. During my first year of college, I tutored ten people in my Calculus I class, all at the same time (so at that point it was basically another Calculus class). The teacher was brilliant but he did not know how to explain the challenging concepts in ways students could understand, so I had fun developing my tutoring to adapt to each individual person and better help him/her understand what seems IMPOSSIBLE and make it POSSIBLE and ENJOYABLE. Before joining Teach For America, I volunteered for my former 6th grade English teacher and focused on two students in building their writing confidence. Teaching 6th grade science, I integrated math whenever I could and I had the opportunity to teach math for summer school.Everyone can understand math and science if they can relate to the subject. I will guide you to your personal understanding and relations with whatever math (middle school, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus) or science (middle school, physics) subject you struggle with. I understand the frustration that comes with not being able to comprehend what's going on (history does this to me!) but it helps to know that you can overcome the frustration with guidance from a tutor and determination that you can do it! 2+2=4 was once the hardest math problem in your life but after practice, it's intuitive... and I can work with you on a path to make all math feel that way. Understanding projectile motion in physics or electron configuration in atoms for middle school can be tough but with real-world examples and using your imagination, there is no limit on what you can learn and truly understand!Thanks for taking the time to read a bit about me, and I look forward to joining you on a learning journey soon!

Manuel Stefano graduated with honors from the IB program in Upper Canada College, with honors from the B.A. Politics program in Princeton University, and with the LExS Award in the M.P.A. program in Leiden University in The Hague. He is currently a PhD candidate in Leiden University in The Hague for the Global Affairs School in Public Administration.He is a self-motivated and results-oriented international consultant, political advisor, instructor, editor, writer, translator, and interpreter with knowledge and experience in national and international governance, as well as international human rights law. He has professional experience with international organizations like the United Nations, as well as political parties in Colombia. He has founded and led public service projects, as well as cooperated with NGOs in various human-rights related programs.He has been teaching and mentoring high school, university, and adult students for over 6 years in a variety of subjects. He specializes mostly in English/Verbal sections of standardized testing (ACT, GRE, etc.), English writing (essays, theses, articles, etc.), English reading, Spanish, Political Science and Government, College Admissions and Applications, Public Speaking, and Study/Organization Strategies.Facilitating intergovernmental cooperation, sacrifice, and change through diplomacy to increase the normative and socio-political legitimacy of people's welfare are his prime motivators. He was born in Colombia in 93', where he and his mother escaped the Armed Conflict in 99'. Knowing the struggle of those who are most vulnerable, his passions are justice, peace, and honest governance.

While I have more than six years of experience tutoring in a multitude of subjects, I can offer an eager student more than a jump in grades or test scores. I pride myself in being able to bring about not just these immediate goals, but in bringing the student along in a comprehensive way; in writing, reasoning, and learning ability. What I provide is professional and academic mentoring, the kind that allows a student to be more than a test score.Many students, brilliant and motivated though they are, can make poor decisions about the college admissions process, about resume building, what they do in their extracurricular time, in interviews, etc. These problems cannot be avoided by just being intelligent. Even doing research in these areas can be daunting, as the internet, full of useful information as it is, provides both wise and foolish advice to young students. Navigating this resource requires experience and professional acumen, and it is not an inborn trait.I have worked with the entire spectrum of students; those looking to get into an IVY league school, and those just hoping to make it through high school. I can most easily and effectively tutor in the sciences, test preparation, and the writing process. I am the biggest asset to those students who have aspirations in the medical, scientific, or research fields, or who are hoping to be more competitive in the prep-school or college application process.

Specializing in teaching Math and Science at all grade levels, I help in understanding the "hard" subjects.

I am a law student at Drexel University Kline School of Law and a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College with a BA in Cognitive Science with a minor in Music. I have also taken numerous classes in Biology and have broad understanding of that field. I have also studied both Spanish and Hebrew languages and can speak both at an intermediate level. I tutor students in a variety of disciplines including biology, mathematics, composition, and test prep for SAT, PSAT, and ACT. My teaching philosophy is that because no student is exactly like another, neither should be my approach to teaching them. I like to get to know every student academically as well as personally so that I can best understand how to help you achieve and exceed your goals. Outside of my studies, I am a diehard football fan, an avid theater-goer, and a prominent student leader on my campus.

I graduated from Baldwin Wallace University with a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Literature/Language and Political Science and with a minor in Legal Studies. After graduation, I spent the last two years serving with City Year Cleveland as a Student Success Coach. In this role, I supported a Partner Teacher, in a 4th and 5th grade Science and Social Studies classroom for my first year and a 4th and 5th grade ELA and Math classroom for my second, through in-classroom assistance as well as additional tutoring outside of the classroom. These tutoring sessions were mostly small groups, however, I did have the opportunity to work with individual students often. I also facilitated extra preparation sessions for Ohio State Testing (OST) for my 4th- and 5th-grade students. I love to learn and I love to make learning fun for students, especially in ways that feel meaningful and interesting to them. In my free time, I like playing video games, practicing my Spanish on Duolingo, re-reading books from my childhood, and spending time with my two cats, Rhubarb and Strawberry.

I have 3+ years of private tutoring experience and I also worked at a charter school. I was able to help ALL of my students improve their grades.I am very passionate about education and I know in depth about how people learn and the different learning theories. I focus more on my student's learning than me teaching. I am very flexible, open minded, and patient. Let me know how I can help you.

I received my Bachelor of Science from the University of Michigan, where I studied Neuroscience and minored in Ukrainian Language and Culture. I am currently applying to medical school, which I hope to begin next fall. In my free time I love to explore the nature trails around Cincinnati as well as cook.While I can tutor a wide array of subjects, I am most passionate about Biology and English. As an undergraduate student, I was the Senior Editor of a student-run publication for three years, affording me extensive experience in editing others' work. After I graduated, I co-instructed an international summer science course offered by UofM for high school aged students. This was a lab based course that investigated topics in genetics and developmental biology. I had a lot of fun working hands-on with biological specimens, and it was a thrill to create a contagious learning environment.I believe that every student is unique and a tailored approach to his or her learning style is vital to their success. I strive to identify both the needs and the strengths of each student, and adapt an educational program accordingly.
