After graduating from Dickinson College in 2016, I spent four years in the Providence Public School District, the last three of which I taught high school English. I have extensive experience helping students identify and break down the root causes of learning blocks; in my three years, I led my classes to achieve an average of 21% growth in writing scores over the year prior.When I began my LSAT journey, I studied hard, but ineffectively. I used my skillset as a teacher to identify my own learning blocks, and develop and reinforce sustainable practices. It was only then that I significantly improved. I believe a knowledgable, attentive tutor is often the needed momentum behind a student reaching her/his full potential. I can help you get there through fundamental technique, mental resilience, planning, and diligence.When I'm not tutoring, I'm playing or watching sports (does Rocket League count?), creating music with my band, and preparing for law school interviews!

Empowering students to think critically, build confidence, and turn challenging ideas into meaningful skills for school, work, and life with patient, practical tutoring that makes learning clear, engaging, and relevant.

I have a PhD from Brown University and an MPhil from the University of Oxford, both in Classics. My area of specialty is the Late Antique Latin poet Claudian and his works. I am also the Assistant Director of the Writing Program and Writing Center at a small liberal arts college, where I teach academic writing, first year seminar, and topics in expository writing. Helping students learn the habits of mind that are needed to express and develop their thoughts at a college level is the core of my job, and something that I take great enjoyment out of. I believe that communication should not be delegated to AI but should remain a uniquely human function-- that said, writing is hard! I will always work to normalize and validate the struggle of learning to write and can't promise any easy fixes or quick tips. I can promise to help students take control of the writing process and begin to uncover their own voices.

Hi! My name is Brooke, and I am a 9th Grade ELA teacher in New York City. I grew up in Rhode Island, and went to college in Pennsylvania. I love to read and write, and I am passionate about passing my love of literature on to my students. I am also passionate about giving them the skills necessary to think critically about the world. I want to push my students to solve complex problems, and never settle for less than their potential. I love to tutor students who may need help in my spare time, because it allows me to continue helping students! I know the value of out-of-school support and I want to help provide that to as many students as possible!

I am an experienced Special Education/Elementary Education Teacher. I am fun and love to make learning fun for all students. My strengths at the secondary level are in Math and Social Studies, however I taught 5th and 6th grade for 10 years before moving on to the secondary level. I am very reputable and dependable. I've been tutoring 7th grader and a 9th grader in English Language Arts for about 3 years on VT. I accel at teaching how to understand text and am skillfull at breaking it down to the students' level. I also have experience teaching chess and have participated in one tournament. If you're an advanced chess player, I'm probably not the best fit for you. I'm experienced at teaching openings and some middle game formations.

I believe the role of an educator, whether as a teacher or administrator, is to facilitate learning and growth by presenting information in a variety of ways that create interest in each individual student and in the class as a whole. Information that is portrayed in ways that are interesting and relevant to students is more meaningful and has a greater likelihood of being absorbed and retained. Through this instruction and example, students can follow their curiosity and exercise their imaginations and ideals as they develop as scholars, artists and athletes. I believe that progressive education is the ideal facilitator for this process of personal growth, and democratic participation of students in the classroom.I personally have a passion for learning and part of my role as an educator is to project that to my students, encouraging them to seek the same for themselves. I expect students to be accountable for their own efforts both in and outside of the classroom. Since students come from all sorts of backgrounds, cultures and upbringings, lessons and classroom exercises should be presented in a variety of different ways to meet their different learning styles. In the modern age where technology is constantly changing, educators like myself can use devices such as smartboards, projectors and other items, to better enhance the learning atmosphere inside the classroom. Studying both Spanish when I was an Undergraduate, and now Liberal Arts Studies as a Graduate student, allows me to better present a hands on and visual learning environment inside the classroom so that students can make the most of their academic experience.As an educator, my goal is to help students develop a strong interest for learning that they can carry with them through the rest of their educational careers. I believe finding the right balance of instruction in the classroom is attainable by a combination of organized planning, hands on activities and strong motivation to be a part of the learning process.

Hello! My name is Alexandria Lee. I am currently an undergraduate student at Dickinson College, where I study Political Science and Religion. I have a wide variety of experience in tutoring and education. I've tutored students in third grade to college level. I tutor in English, reading comprehension, basic-intermediate German, history, religion, and politics. I utilize PowerPoints and a conversation-esque style of teaching. Outside of academia, I am an avid painter. I enjoy acrylic painting scenery, religious scenes, and portraits. I was actually trained by a professional painter!

I graduated summa cum laude with a Master's in Classics (a combination of history, reading comprehension and writing) from Florida State University and this degree and associated experiences has provided me with a diverse set of knowledge and skillsets. While there I developed a firm understanding of the power of education to transform individuals and help every student to grow toward their greatest potential. Though every tutoring session varies, a session may include the review of previous content, a discussion of how to improve a written essay, the proper methods to prepare for an upcoming assessment, among many other possible forms designed around individual student need. In my approach to tutoring, I utilize a Classical Education approach, which deems the goal of education to be holistic or that students improve as people while they improve their content knowledge and skillsets. I design lessons to help students improve their content knowledge while also improving their self-confidence, personal responsibility and overall positive sense of self. The long term goal is help students become self-sufficient as we grow and improve their academic knowledge. I have 5 years' experience teaching english and history classes, both in Middle and High School (6th, 9th, 10th and 12th grade). If you need help with understanding historical trends, improving upon a written essay or comprehending a particularly difficult text, please feel to request my services. Feel free to contact me with any questions or to schedule a lesson.

Hi! My name is Jordan and I'm a Chemistry major at Dickinson College. I have more than 3 years of tutoring experience and I'm excited to work with you on anything you're struggling with.

I began my derivatives career with O'Connor & Associates, the Chicago-based pioneer of options trading and risk management becoming a floor member of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange trading single stock options and futures. My training began in the trading pit, side by side senior traders for whom I would be responsible for tracking delta positions, hedging trades, communicating with the partners, and learning options theory to prepare for a three-week intensive in house options course in Chicago with a peer group. We were close-knit, collaborative and hand-picked for what would be a rigorous and unique learning experience to set a foundation for our respective quantitative trading roles. I became a market maker, providing liquidity to the public orders, a specialist, keeping an orderly book of all public orders, and floor manager, overseeing the daily operations. The environment was dynamic, highly demanding, requiring laser focus, preparation and stamina. An integral member of the firm, collaborating with other member firms and the Board of Governors, serving on committees, worked on new business initiatives, recruiting and training new hires from top universities. At the time, O'Connor was the largest market maker in the U.S. financial options exchanges and had been looking to partner with a larger financial institution. The firm entered into a joint venture with Swiss Bank creating the opportunity to become part of a newly formed global team deployed as financial engineers in various financial centers - Chicago, Zurich, London, Paris, Tokyo, Hong Kong. My assignment was in the bank's headquarters of Zurich, Switzerland within the Treasury Group where I priced, hedged, executed, and made markets on OTC derivatives, structured product and warrants held by the coveted AAA balance sheet. This multi-year experience proved to be mutually beneficial both to my professional career, as it was for the bank's global securities businesses (particularly US Equities and Swiss Treasury) that I diligently represented resulting in increasing customer business and attractive risk adjusted return on capital (RAROC). My career trajectory continued to expand beyond US domestic equity markets into global markets - Asia, Latin America, Europe as well as into other asset classes FX, Commodities, Fixed Income dictated by customer investment policies, the liberalization of markets, and the respective risk books. I accepted new business roles and appointments and was later recruited to work with other global derivatives groups (Deutsche, HSBC) overseeing Corporate Derivatives programs, customer options activities, European research produced in the UK for US institutional client.
