Julie

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +34 Subjects

I have my BA in History from Salve Regina University, and my Master's in Education from Lesley University. I have been teaching and tutoring for the past four years in the greater Boston area. I am a certified teacher for history grades 8-12 and have teaching experience in both middle schools and high schools. I have tutored all ages and love working with many subjects such as History, ELA, Writing and developing Math skills with younger students! I have worked with many students on IEPs and love to help them strengthen their organization and focus. I believe that my teaching style adapts to ensure that each student can reach their full potential. By understanding where students have weaknesses, we can improve in these areas so that their grades improve and that they feel more confident. Outside of tutoring, I love to spend time with my family, friends and my dog.

Justin

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +19 Subjects

After attending high school in Vermont and graduating near the top of my class, I attended Boston University to study Political Science. During my time there, I participated in numerous internship programs, including a semester in Washington, DC, and was recognized as a member of the Dean's List every semester. In May 2014, I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a major in Political Science and a minor in Music.I have extensive experience with managing and training staff- skills which help me prepare my students to succeed. My own passion for education enables me to inspire those I tutor. I utilize an in-depth approach that focuses on the big picture, not just rote memorization. My students will not only be better prepared for their classes and exams, but will gain skills and strategies they can apply in their future studies.When not tutoring,I am an avid football fan (Patriots, Texans and Longhorns) and musician. I enjoy photography, squash, and volunteering as well. On the weekends I enjoy traveling and enjoying nature, including horse back riding and traveling to Galveston to go deep sea fishing.

Julia

AP Art History Tutor • +32 Subjects

I earned my Bachelor of Arts with Honors in English Literature and Studio Art from the University of Virginia. In the coming year I will be attending the Art Institute of Chicago as a graduate student in the Film, Video, New Media, Animation department. Eventually I hope to teach at the university level. As a member of the community scholar program at UVa, I have mentored Studio Art students at the undergraduate level for nearly two years.I believe that learning is a holistic pursuit. Everything is connected. Basic knowledge builds to become advanced, nuanced knowledge. I want students to truly learn an appreciation for learning and to develop their personal interests and achievements to the fullest. I am excited to tutor English writing and literature as well as studio art because both enable students to develop their own ideas and creativity.For me traveling fosters creativity as well as a sense of community with new and differing perspectives, which is integral to learning. I've spent time in Spain, England, France, Germany, South Africa, Honduras and most recently, Argentina where I worked as an Artist in Residence. I am already planning more adventures in Central and South America for the coming year.Whether I am abroad or at home, I enjoy rock climbing, hiking, cooking and painting. I am always reading and keeping up to date on current literature and art. For me, all of these activities invigorate my mind. I'm excited to share these passions with students and to help students cultivate their love for learning!

Dimitry

ACT Math Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a current senior at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I am completing a degree in Health Policy and Management with minors in chemistry and biology. Currently, I am on the pre-medical track at UNC I am applying to medical schools for next year. I have worked as a tutor at the UNC Learning Center for two semesters and I have been a TA for anatomy and physiology for three semesters (two of those as lead TA).While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I greatly enjoy tutoring standardized test prep and chemistry (general, organic, analytical, biochem) as well as biology (cell bio and genetics). I scored in the 98th percentile on the MCAT and am prepared to offer tutoring for this exam. Though it may be difficult, it can definitely be beaten with a high score with the right studying plan! I always strive to pass my vast wealth of experience on to students in a concise and easy to understand manner.My approach to tutoring is to focus on application of content rather than memorization and to help students develop good study and work habits. I have learned a number of great learning and studying strategies in my time as a tutor at UNC!

Luigi

AP Spanish Language & Culture Tutor • +58 Subjects

My name is Luigi Botta. I am a recent graduate from the University of Central Florida. I majored in Political Science - International Relations and Comparative Governments and minored in Diplomatic History. As a result, I can tutor you in courses including American Government, World History, American History, and Comparative Politics. I am also very good at both Modern Language Association (MLA) and Chicago Style writing formats. Nobody who obtains a degree in Political Science or History could ever walk out of college without knowing how to write in both MLA and Chicago Style. I am also fully proficient in the Spanish language, so please do not hesitate to come to me with your Spanish homework for help. I would really enjoy tutoring you in all the courses in which I have succeeded academically before.

Melissa

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +50 Subjects

I am a PhD Candidate in History at the University of California, Berkeley but am currently living in New York while finishing my dissertation on the British Empire in India in the late 18th Century. I am originally from New York City and attended a very academically oriented private school, so I have first-hand experience with the stresses and concerns many students face, regardless of the school they attend. I benefited from private tuition myself and would like to consider my story a successful one, therefore I hope to carry on the benefits of tutoring to my own students.I have 7 years experience private tutoring a diverse range of subjects in New York and London, and 6 years experience as a teaching assistant of History and Italian at the University level. I've worked with a range of students from high-achieving undergraduates to students at pressure-cooker college preparatory schools to children with high-functioning Autism. My specialty subjects are History, English, Latin, essay-writing, exam preparation, and I have extensive experience preparing students for exam prep (PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE to name a few) and university applications in the USA and the UK. I chose to go to graduate school and continue working in the field of education because I am passionate about both learning and teaching whether this takes place at home, in a classroom, or at an international conference.

Alexandra

Academic Coaching Tutor • +26 Subjects

I graduated from Rowan University with a double major in history and secondary education. After graduating, I taught in various capacities including as a high school history teacher, a college English teacher in Turkey through the Fulbright Student Program, and created and executed professional development workshops in two West Philadelphia schools while working as part of the University of Pennsylvania's Netter Center for Community Partnerships. These experiences have provided me with the ability to adhere to the needs of a variety of learners. Currently, I am finishing up my M.A in history at the University of Cincinnati and will be entering into a joint Ph.D. program studying the history of education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My expertise as both a historian and as an educator provide me with the tools needed to help my students succeed.

Holly

AP United States History Tutor • +23 Subjects

During the regular school year, I work full-time as a teacher incorporating critical and creative thinking into classrooms, K-6. Prior to becoming a teacher, I had extensive experience tutoring students of all ages, from second grade all the way up to those at the graduate level. I've tutored U.S. History at the elementary, middle, and high school levels; World History at the middle school level; Earth Science and reading at the elementary level; and writing at both the elementary and graduate levels. My favorite subject to both teach and tutor is anything related to history - examining different perspectives and their influence on later decisions is something which I find truly fascinating. I earned a degree in English Literature, with a minor in History, from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching, with a concentration in early childhood and elementary education, from Pacific University in Eugene, OR. In the future, I hope to teach aspiring teachers in a college of education. Teaching is truly a passion of mine - I believe that students deserve to work with someone who respects and affirms them, helps them develop self-efficacy, and pushes them to reach their potential. To that end, I adapt my teaching methods to fit the student, and always seek to apply what we're learning to real-world situations. In my spare time, I am an avid reader - books about historical events and education are some of my favorites, but I also enjoy popular fiction. I love attending Nats games, although I'm an Atlanta Braves fan at heart, and like to follow various college and pro sports teams, including the Oregon Ducks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Portland Trailblazers. When I can, I try to get outside and stay active as much as possible. A personal goal I have for myself is to run a 5K within the next 6 months.

Richard

ACT Prep Tutor • +57 Subjects

I'm excited to work with students and to facilitate their learning and school engagement. I have graduated recently enough to remember what school and class are like. It's an exciting time in life, but it can bring challenges too, at any level of education. That's why I'm here to collaborate with any students who can benefit from my tutoring. I hope to show clarity, professionalism, and respect in helping students master their work and continue to feel eager about learning.
