ACCUPLACER WritePlacer Tutor • +51 Subjects

Hi, there. I'm an experienced tutor who loves the English language and is skilled in teaching students from ages 6 to 60. My areas of tutoring expertise include language arts, English as a Second Language, research, reading, writing, composition, study habits, literature, verbal test prep and the humanities. So often in learning situations, we only hear about what we are doing wrong. That's no way to motivate people! I use a lot of positive feedback, encouragement and praise to show students what they already know and increase their appetite for learning. My goal is to empower students to build both knowledge and strategies to find knowledge. I've helped people of all ages and from all fields improve their reading comprehension and learn to polish their essays, themes, resumes, blogs, business proposals, lab reports and dissertations. If your class or project has a writing or reading component, I can help. I graduated magna cum laude from University of Maryland with a degree in English and I hold a graduate degree from Earlham School of Religion. I worked as a reporter and editor for five years before pursuing a career in pastoral care. I love helping people learn to use our rich language to communicate and build connections and I enjoy being able to impact students' lives in an immediate way.

1st Grade ELA (in Spanish) Tutor • +25 Subjects

"In learning you will teach, and in teaching you will learn." - Phil CollinsIf there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I LOVE learning. As a college student actively working towards my bachelors of science at Brigham Young University, I can honestly say that I've never been more excited about learning than I am right now. There is simply so much I don't know, and every day is a new opportunity to change that. My passion for growth has taken me to places like Spain, Mexico, and very soon, Ecuador. It has taught me a new language: Spanish, which I now speak fluently and which has become one of my two majors. It has even paid for my college education, and I am confident it will open many more doors for me in the future.I tutor because I want others to have what I have, and because I recognize the value of one-on-one instruction in an education system which has become altogether too streamlined and generalized to allow for any deep conceptualization without additional effort on the student's part. That's where I come in. My clients and I have a BLAST together, regardless of the topic, although some of my more popular subjects include Spanish, English, Essay Writing, and College Applications. I make sure to personalize each of my sessions to the client, and I really enjoy getting to know them and learning from everyone I teach.

AP Comparative Government and Politics Tutor • +30 Subjects

I have a master's degree in history from Portland State University, along with 60 undergraduate history taken in preparation for graduate school. I also earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of Oregon.My teaching experience consists primarily of serving as a teaching assistant for six quarters at Portland State. While I worked with a diverse group of professors who assigned somewhat different duties to their assistants, each provided me with the opportunity to develop my teaching skills in a real-world environment. While there I worked directly with students of many different ethnic, educational, and cultural backgrounds, both in class and during one-on-one conferences. I have also helped high school students develop their writing and complex reasoning skills.It is crucial that instructors not merely expect students to meet prescribed standards, but rather also provide them with the tools to do so. To this end, I work closely with students, demonstrating my own techniques for reading texts efficiently, applying critical thinking, and developing clear written and oral communication. I also believe that learning should take place in a collaborative environment in which instructors encourage free discussion and Socratic questioning.

Shannon

AP Psychology Tutor • +18 Subjects

I attended a small private liberal arts college for my undergrad which allowed me the opportunity to explore multiple fields of interest. I have a BA with majors in history and political science in minors in Asian studies and international politics. I took a year off of school to try my hand at working. During that year I worked at a living history site, where I educated visitors of all ages on early American history. I went back to grad school for a Master's in Public Administration with a specialty in Organizational Development. I worked full time while putting myself through grad school. It's important to gain life experience as well as educational experience. Both make you a well-rounded lifelong learner. I continued to work as a nontraditional educator in parks in recreation. Once I earned by MPA, I went back to school (again while working full time) and earned my Doctorate in Education. I love helping students of all ages learn about history, earth science, political philosophy and literature. In my free time I coach softball and soccer--two sports I played at varsity level in college.

Melinda

College English Tutor • +27 Subjects

I have been a Colorado licensed elementary teacher for eleven years. Teaching all subjects makes me uniquely qualified to work with children in all subject areas. I have mainly taught intermediate elementary students. I am also skilled in helping students develop organizational and study skills that help to prepare them for middle school. My original Bachelor's degree is in Political Science. Next, I obtained my teaching license and a few years later I earned my Masters Degree in Curriculum and Instruction. I have taught English Language Learners, educationally challenged students, and gifted students. I have been recognized by Denver Public Schools for the high growth of my students. I believe that all children can learn if the teacher uses whatever is necessary to get the information to the child in a way that they can understand it.I am originally from the Midwest but have lived in Colorado for many years now. I love the mountains and hike often. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, reading, and traveling. I'm sure that I can help your child reach their academic potential.

Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects

I graduated from Gettysburg College in 2012 with Bachelors Degrees in History and Political Science. In college, I frequently tutored my classmates, helping them to prepare for tests and presentations. I have worked extensively with children, accumulating five years of experience as a camp counselor in addition to several years as a swim instructor and coach to all ages. I was raised in an academic household, and although I struggled as a young student, I learned to embrace academic challenge and thrived as a student in high school and college, and I am now preparing to continue my education in graduate school. My experience taught me that all students, no matter their situation, have the potential to succeed academically, and I work hard to instill this belief in my pupils. Though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I have a special passion for the social sciences, particularly History, and I enjoy tutoring a variety of students, from those who do not fit the academic mold (especially ADD students) to those looking to boost their academic standing with a strong performance in advanced AP level courses. In my spare time I enjoy physical activities like long distance running, hiking, kayaking, and travel when I have the time.

My academic training, passion and talent for interdisciplinary research and teaching, specifically in Literature, American History, World History, Women's History and Performance Studies were honed in the American Studies graduate program at the College of William and Mary, where I earned the Ph.D. I also hold the M.A. in Women's History from Sarah Lawrence College (Bronxville, NY) and am a graduate of the University of Missouri (B.A. English Literature and Linguistics).A crucial component of my educational experience has included international travel, sparked by experience as a foreign exchange student both to France and Germany. In college, I minored in German. Subsequently, I also enjoy tutoring in German. As an academic, my scholarship has taken me to over seventeen countries, including Austria, Brazil, Denmark, Holland, South Africa, and many, many trips to France and Germany.For the past fifteen years, I have enjoyed a plethora of teaching experiences from academic posts, to tutoring and consultant work--and even to adult courses for non-matriculating students.Beyond the college liberal arts classroom detailed below, I have also garnered high school teaching experience in Manhattan's private, progressive schools. For example, I was a sick-leave replacement faculty member in U.S. history in the Upper School at The Calhoun School (2006), where I taught eleventh grade high school students. The keystone experience of 11th grade curriculum at Calhoun is an interdisciplinary research paper, which earns credit it both a student's U.S. History course and their English course. Drawing on my interdisciplinary experience, I successfully guided students through research skills, literary analysis and the tools requisite for historical perspective. Another example includes my experience working in New York City public schools, K-12, as a Curriculum/Professional Development consultant with Ventures Education Systems Corporation (VESC). As a consultant for this national school reform and professional development organization, I designed and delivered workshops in balanced literarcy, test preparation and critical thinking. I evaluated curriculum for elementary/middle school language arts and social studies and developed teaching guides with objectives, essential questions, activities, ongoing assessments, and state standards alignment.For the past several summers, I offered SAT prep tutoring at Mini Ivy in Lower Manhattan, working with students in the age range of 13-18, primarily on preparation for the SAT but also in essay writing.I have taught literature, history, jazz studies and women's studies at a plethora of the nation's ivy league universities and best liberal arts colleges, including: Columbia University (NY); Sarah Lawrence College (NY); Hunter College (NY); and Brown University (RI).
