As a graduate with a Bachelor's in Psychology and Biology from Denison University, I bring a unique perspective to my tutoring approach. With over two years of experience in both classroom and tutoring settings, I specialize in Elementary School English, Reading, and Writing, as well as Middle and High School English. I also have experience with elementary school math and science. My philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to express themselves and develop their skills. I am passionate about helping students discover the joy of reading and writing, tailoring my methods to meet their individual needs and learning styles. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, taking long walks, and spending time with my friends, which helps to further connect with my students.

I am a recent graduate of Denison University with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. While attending Denison I tutored many other students in Biology and Calculus, two subjects which I am passionate about! However, I am also able to tutor a wide variety of math and science courses. Education is incredibly important to ensuring a successful future, so I try and set students up to succeed with unique learning opportunities that bring the joy back to learning! In my free time, I enjoy working out, listening to music, and am currently training for a marathon in October!

Hello! I am a full time teacher at St. John's College High School in Washington D. C. I hold Master's degrees in Education (Saint Joseph's University) and Theology (Boston College). I have been a teacher since the Fall of 2016, and have taught in both elementary and high schools in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D. C., and the Federated States of Micronesia. Subjects I have taught include English, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Spanish, SAT Prep, and Religion.

Hi, My name is Simmy and I am a recent college graduate. I am here to tutor in a variety of subjects, including math, writing, spanish, and so much more. Please reach out with any questions you may have and I would be happy to help!

I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Denison University. I am currently pursuing an M.D. at Case Western Reserve University. I've been a college-level teaching assistant for both introductory biology and general chemistry. Besides chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring for test prep (ACT and MCAT) because I view these types of tests to be a collection of puzzles to solve. It's a lot of fun helping students to figure out the logic behind these puzzles and apply it broadly, and it's incredibly rewarding to see this integration of knowledge translate to a high score. When working with students, I like to challenge them to identify the purpose of the problem or question and what underlying reasoning can be applied broadly in future questions. In doing so, students gain more long-term usable skills and the ability to think independently.

I've been a tutor and Mandarin Chinese teacher for five years and have taught every type of student from Elementary school-age to adults at the Beginner level to International Baccalaureate prep courses. My own language background comes from living in China and attending the Beijing Foreign Studies University and Taiwan University. What I love most about tutoring is the unique opportunity that the one-on-one setting provides to ensure that you or your student really masters the content in the lesson in all four aspects of language learning (Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing). In addition to helping you achieve your course objectives, I am most interested in having students take risks and show motivation in their own language learning. You'll surprise yourself at how well you can communicate in Mandarin!

I enjoy teaching students of all ages. I graduated from Denison University in 2013 with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications and Creative Writing. I have gained thorough knowledge in Math, English, and Information Technology via the experiences I have had in tutoring students at elementary, middle school, high school, and college levels all over the world. In particular, I have worked extensively with students to develop and hone their writing skills for tests, college application essays, and academic papers. I am also well-versed in test preparation such as SAT and ACT exam preparation. When tutoring math, I have several different techniques that cater to a variety of students, but overall, I like to keep concepts simple and fun to learn. Repetition, flash cards, worksheets and practice tests are my main materials for helping students learn. My tutor sessions typically start with going over the student's current coursework, where they are struggling, and most importantly what they expect from me. From there, it is critical to plan out an organized schedule that will lead the student down the best path of success. I look forward to working with all of you and supporting you in your own journey of discovery!

I am a graduate of Denison University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Sociology/Anthropology. Upon graduation, I joined an educational non-profit called City Year, an Americorps program where Corps members willing give up a year to serve in effort to bridge the education achievement gap. In this role, I serve as a mentor and tutor to students while working alongside a partner teacher to give students the resources and tools they need to succeed. City Year works in English and Math classrooms and I have the pleasure of serving in an two adaptive math classrooms. While I'm open to tutor English and History and/or Social Studies, I am most passionate about Math. In my experience, helping struggling students think logically and developing procedural fluency, conceptual understanding, and productive disposition, we always seem to have the most fun connecting these skills to other aspect in life. In addition to this, its a pleasure seeing their confidence level boost when they answer a set number of problems correctly. Nothing warms my heart more when a student jokingly tells me, "Mister, back off, I got this." I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, binge watching my favorite tv sitcoms, hanging out with friends, and contributing to a cause greater than self.

I received my BA in English/Creative Writing from Denison University in Ohio where I also minored in Theatre. I am currently attending Long Island University/Hudson Campus. Here I am earning my Masters in Secondary Education (English, which I will be finishing at the end of this semester. Then I will be finishing up an Advanced Certificate in Literacy 5-12.I have been consistently teaching since sophomore year in high school when I designed and taught an Earth Science curriculum at a local nature center for a number of years. Since then, I've tutored Earth Science, taught Sunday School, tutored my peers through college, and am currently completing my student teaching at Rye Neck Middle School. At Rye Neck, I am teaching five sections of 6th Grade ELA Skills to children with a wide range of skills. I have also taught basic English Language lessons to Spanish speakers who want to learn English. I also have experience working with Autistic children.I offer tutoring services in English, specifically reading comprehension, writing, editing, test-taking skills, and test prep in English-based areas. I love teaching reading and writing because these are most often the areas that students claim to hate. Slowly, I can get students to realize the worlds that reading and writing can open up for them and they begin to love these things that they once hated.My teaching style is conversation based and filled with the Socratic Method. I believe in not handing a student the answer. Rather we can work through the problem until the student realizes the answer themselves. This leads the student to take great pride in their schoolwork and to have the processes in place to solve the problem on their own in the future. Students are always smarter than they think they are, they just need to learn the ways of studying and learning that work best for them. A teacher is merely a guide until the student can teach themselves. For this reason, I am a great believer in scaffolding, or providing a lot of support in the beginning and drawing away slowly until the student can master the work on their own.Outside of academia, you can find me doing one of three things usually (or trying to do them all at once fairly unsuccessfully): writing, reading, and directing theatre. I write a mixture of poetry or fiction and my reading tastes run from older British literature to Stephen King. Theatre, whether I'm watching or participating, is a huge passion of mine. I love creating world and characters and these three mediums allow me to do that in very unique ways.

I first started tutoring students my second semester of college on the campus in the Spanish department. I also obtained tutoring from the French department where I learned many different techniques of tutoring. Thanks to the students I have tutored, I am now able to think of many new ways to teach students since everyone have a unique way of learning.Outside of tutoring I like to spend time with my friends, surrounding myself with great company and engage in adventurous activities.

I am a graduate of Denison University where I majored in Communications, and PPA (Politics & Public Affairs). Before college, I was enrolled in the IBDP curriculum. While I tutor in a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, History, and Writing. I have extensive experience working with children between the ages of 6-12. During college, I was a TA and worked at the Writing Center, gaining experience tutoring individuals between the ages of 18-22. I view teaching as a partnership between the instructor and the students, where dialogue and collaboration are essential. By actively involving students in their own learning, I aim to cultivate a sense of ownership over their education. I encourage students to question assumptions, explore diverse perspectives, and apply their knowledge to real-world situations. Accordingly, I employ a conversation-based teaching style for my students.

I am a graduate of Denison University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, with minors in Spanish and music performance. Throughout high school and college, I have been tutoring my peers in Spanish, English, philosophy, math and even music theory. I have also tutored adults in GRE subjects. Since graduation I have been helping Spanish-speaking children in DC with their English and working at a lobbying firm. I tutor in a variety of subjects, focusing on Spanish, English, Math and Standardized Tests. I tutor in a fun, competitive and encouraging style, often comparing learning to reaching a new benchmark in a sport, or leveling up in a video game. I spend most of my free time playing soccer, singing and playing chess.
