Few people view standardized tests with joy or fondness. It's hard to accept that a single number, derived from hasty answers to abstract questions, can play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws.But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share with others what I have gained.

Hey! My name is Ellis, I majored in Computer Science at Evergreen State College. Before CS I was a math major and tutored math privately. I absolutely love helping other people to achieve a clear, intuitive understanding of quantitative subjects. It's all too common for folks to struggle with math and even stress out about it. I hope to help more students to realize that math isn't scary. The most important thing is that we take the pressure off. The primary goal of the tutor should be to make the subject approachable and comprehensible. Once we unlock your intuitive quantitative skills you will find things like math and physics are much simpler than you thought!

I first tutored at BYU in the Physics Tutorial Lab, and I absolutely loved it. Helping people understand the concepts and have it really click for them was immensely satisfying. You can just see that light in their eyes turn on, and bam! They get it. Those kind of experiences led to my decision to make teaching an integral part of my career.I just recently graduate from BYU with a Bachelor's in Physics and will start graduate school in the fall, with the eventual goal of teaching physics in a college setting.Beyond the world of teaching, I love volleyball and the outdoors. Hiking, camping, backpacking, being outside energizes my soul. Volleyball is my sport, and I love teaching the basics to people, but I enjoy practically all sports, despite my pitiable attempts at soccer. Playing guitar, listening to music, and reading books also brighten my life.

I am a current student at New York University, studying for a BS in Applied Physics. I have been tutoring for 4 years, both one on on and in small group settings. I love tutoring because I get to teach others the subjects I am so passionate about. I am excited to get to know new students and learn with them!

I am a Grade 7 & 8 Science teacher and have been teaching for four years. I have taught Grade 5 & 6 English, Science, Home Ec, and Art in Japan for several years, so I can also help with Japanese. I have also taught Biology and Anatomy. I love all things Science but am happy to tutor anything you need!

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Michigan Ann Arbor, and am pursuing a dual degree in Movement Science and Biopsychology, Cognition and Neuroscience. I hope to go to medical school and become a physician in the future. I have had previous experience working with young kids at daycares, and I love helping others.

I was lucky to have my teacher in college whom I still call mentor now. Four years in college with this special gift built the cornerstone for who I have become and who I have been striving to be. I am forever grateful to my mentor for she did not only teach me knowledge in books but she also taught me how to be a person. I know that the time I met my mentor was the time my life met its turning point: My life has become different since then.My college memories with my English teacher are sweet and still inspirational. She is a graceful lady with an artistic temperament, delicate yet powerful. She is a living example of how education can change a person and benefit the society. Her influence on me never ceases to remind me of the virtue of helping people change their lives to the best of my ability.And to do that, communication is important and indispensible. The better part of education is communication, in a proper way on the right platforms. I believe one can only do satisfying jobs if he/she has passion for them. I would be more than happy to share my Chinese knowledge and experiences with friends from various backgrounds and cultures. I would treat my students the way I want to be treated by a responsible and insightful teacher.I am just as curious as every student and I am sure I will be a good student to my students in other respects because from each other we can always learn something.Receiving a Master's degree in Public Relations and Corporate Communication from New York University and a Bachelor's degree in English and American Literature, I tutor Mandarin Chinese and Cantonese.

I am a Senior at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make sessions light hearted, and less intimidating. Furthermore, as a problem solver, I will stop at nothing to ensure a student succeeds and fully understands a subject.

I enjoy helping students learn more about math. It is a great feeling to see the "light bulb" turn on. I have been a math teacher and tutor for over 10 years, which includes teaching secondary, collegiate, and graduate courses. I earned a B.S. in mathematics from the University of Notre Dame. I also have an M.B.A. in quantitative business analysis from Indiana University and earned my secondary mathematics teaching license/certification at Indiana Wesleyan University.

I am a Bachelor of Science graduate from a 4-year accredited Diagnostic Medical Sonography Program. I am registered in RDMS (Abdomen & OBGYN) and RVT. I currently work at a large children's hospital as the Lead Sonographer using ultrasound to help diagnose and treat patients typically from ages 0-22 years. I am very pleased to work with students to mentor and assist them in achieving all their academic goals! I have taught and volunteered as a tutor in multiple subjects and for multiple grade levels including in elementary education (reading/ELA and science). My passion is helping sonography students and graduates through ARDMS tutoring. My goal is to help each and every student I work with tackle their academic hurdles by finding out their best learning style and promoting strong study habits.
