Hi there! My name's Houston, and I'm about to be a senior Chemistry Major on Biochemistry and Pre-Medical tracks. I'm passionate about tutoring so you feel we're having an engaged conversation until you're feeling up to speed on the topics. For mathematical topics, I've always learned best by relating concepts to equations, and that's where I start. I'm doing physical chemistry research this summer (G, H, S, and all that chemistry math), so physics and chemistry are definitely my strongest subjects. Still, my experiences have given me solid foundations in biology and math. I'd be happy to chat, even just to see if we'd be a good fit, so don't hesitate to reach out!

I am a recent graduate of Florida A&M University College of Law. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from Furman University. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English and Writing. In my experience helping struggling students write essays, I try to make the process as enjoyable and as easy as possible. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to share this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and playing soccer.
Student success is my primary ambition; I love working with students to master difficult concepts using innovative methods. As an current middle school English teacher and an English and Politics/International Affairs double major with personal success on standardized tests and in the classroom, my focus is helping students conquer material and reach their academic goals. Seeing the light bulb go off in students' heads is, of course, personally gratifying, but students can open doors for themselves when they gain critical levels of understanding. I am familiar with complicated schedules as a recovering student-athlete and enjoy helping students work with their time management skills.
Hi! I'm currently pursuing a second degree in computer science at UNC Charlotte. I graduated from Furman University in 2012 with a BA in Music and I'm looking forward to starting a new career. In the mean time, I'm looking to provide tutoring services to kids, teens, and young adults. I've worked with various ages tutoring math and reading. I enjoy teaching and sharing my love of learning with others, and I hope I can be of service to you in the near future!
Working with students is my passion, which is why I have devoted my life to it. I have a degree in English from Furman University and also obtained National Board certification. I enjoy not only tutoring in literature, grammar, and writing, but also enjoy these things in my spare time. I am a firm believer that each and every student can find success, but it is our job as teachers and tutors to help students understand how they learn best. I look forward to working with you and helping you succeed!
Hello! My name is Mutaz Sarhan. I am a PHD student at USC studying Biomedical Science. I hold a BS in neuroscience and a Masters in Public Health. For younger students in elementary and middle school, I focus on creating fun, interactive lessons that build strong foundations in basic math, life science, and physical science. Whether it's mastering multiplication tables, understanding the scientific method, or exploring earth science concepts, I use real-world examples and hands-on activities to make learning exciting. With high school students, I specialize in breaking down complex topics in algebra, geometry, biology, and chemistry into manageable steps. I help students not only complete their homework but truly grasp the underlying principleswhether it's balancing chemical equations, solving quadratic formulas, or understanding cellular biology. My approach combines clear explanations with plenty of practice opportunities to ensure mastery. For college students, I offer support in introductory and advanced courses, including statistics, calculus, anatomy, and neuroscience. Having conducted extensive research in these areas myself, I can provide unique insights that go beyond textbook explanations. I'm particularly skilled at helping students analyze data, interpret results, and develop strong study strategies for STEM courses. What makes my tutoring effective is my ability to adapt to each student's learning style and needs. I'm patient, encouraging, and skilled at identifying exactly where a student is struggling. Whether it's preparing for a big test, catching up after absences, or getting ahead in a subject, I create customized plans that help students achieve their goals while developing lasting skills and confidence in math and science. With my combination of academic expertise and teaching experience, I'm ready to help students at any level build their knowledge, improve their grades, and discover the excitement of learning math and science.
My name is Amanda and I recently graduated with a BS in Chemistry from Furman University. I will be availablefor tutoring in math (all levels up to and including BC Calculus), physics, and chemistry, as well as English and history. I tend to favor explaining not only the procedure for how to solve specific problems but also the theory behind the procedure. I find that this makes the procedure itself more memorable and easier to apply to similar problems elsewhere. In other words, the key to any science or math problem is knowing how to think through it. That is why I am here: to explain how to think through the problem.For students who plan on following the premed track for college, I am willing to meet with you over the summer to help you get a head start in chemistry and physics classes. I know that those science requirements can be daunting, especially for humanities majors on the premed track, but I would be willing to help show you what is ahead if you are interested.
I received my bachelor's degree from Furman University, where I double majored in History and Religion with a concentration in Latin American Studies. I also have a masters degree from Emory University, and I am currently Pursuing a PhD in Religious Studies at SMU. My ultimate career goal is to become a college professor, but I love working with students of all levels. I tutor Spanish, Religious Studies, SAT and GRE writing and verbal, as well as essay writing and editing. I can help with college admissions essays as well. I especially enjoy helping students with their writing. I find that the process of learning to write a clear and well-argued essay can help students become better communicators and gain confidence sharing their opinions both inside and outside of the classroom. These are skills they can use for the rest of their lives. Since I too once struggled with finding the confidence to communicate my thoughts both aloud and in writing, I am passionate about nurturing confidence in the students I work with. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading, cooking, playing the viola, and relaxing with friends.
I am a 3rd year medical student at the AU/UGA Medical Partnership in Athens, GA. I received a Bachelor's in Neuroscience from Furman University and a Master's in Public Health from Georgia State University. I have 10 years of tutoring experience with elementary, high school, and college-aged students. As such, my tutoring experience encompasses a wide variety of subjects, including elementary school math and English, middle and high school math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II), AP course content (AP Biology, AP Literature), and college level Biology, Philosophy, and Psychology. My academic journey has also provided me with personal experience in preparing for standardized exams, including AP exams, the GRE, and the MCAT. I am friendly, compassionate, engaging, and have a passion for teaching and education.
I am an educator with several years of experience teaching and tutoring students, primarily at the college level. I hold my Bachelor’s degree in psychology from Furman University and my Master’s degree in cognitive science from Purdue University.I have primarily taught or tutored in psychology and statistics. I also have experience tutoring students in GRE/SAT/ACT test prep. Out of all of these, I especially enjoy tutoring psychology because there are so many fun examples and activities that can be incorporated into learning to help illustrate difficult to learn concepts.My personal teaching philosophy is that I will do everything I can to help a student learn. If a student is more comfortable with visuals then I will focus on coming up with good visual examples, or if a student prefers quizzing I will develop custom quizzes. Whatever may be the case I will do anything I can to help the student learn.I am also an education researcher. I specifically study what types of educational activities maximize student learning, and I use that to my advantage when tutoring students.Outside of tutoring I often enjoy designing and building things whether that means making a new website, doing some woodworking, or even building a new computer.
I have a very diverse resume, which includes a PhD in cognitive psychology, an MD, and most recently, an MPH. However, I found the practice of medicine not to be quite what I expected, so I have returned to teaching. I have taught multiple courses in psychology, including introductory psychology, research methods, history and systems, and cognitive psychology. I have also tutored neuroscience in both medical school and collegiate levels - I love neuroscience! Finally, I have experience in teaching and tutoring anatomy and physiology, as well as introductory biology. I really enjoy teaching, especially taking complex concepts and providing examples that make them easier to understand. Feel free to contact me to see if I can be of assistance!
Student success is my passion, and tutoring is my outlet. I have a BA from Furman University and 8 years of online tutoring experience with students aged 3 to 63. I have worked with all types of people. I have experience with adult learners, special needs (academic, mental, or emotional), and gifted students. I am adept at differentiating instruction and am patient, kind, and thoughtful. I understand that every student's struggles are unique, and I strive to meet them exactly where they are and support them in their academic growth. I currently tutor students in reading, writing, and math. Reading and writing are my forte, but I also enjoy tutoring math. I do sneak reading into math problems, because when a person can read and write well, they can excel in their other academic endeavors - even math! While I take learning seriously, I strive to bring fun to each session. I enjoy singing, being playful, and general silliness, which creates a relaxed learning environment.
I am a 2011 graduate of Furman University in Greenville, SC, where I earned my Bachelor's of Music in Voice. Through countless hours spent rehearsing and practicing, participating in student-run theatre, contemplating life in political science seminars, learning to speak two new languages, and performing on-stage in front of audiences large and small, I learned how to be a well-rounded musician, teacher, and life-long student.The arts are my passion, but education comes in at a close second.

I am a graduate from Furman University with a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience, and I completed my Master's in Biochemistry at Johns Hopkins this past spring. I tutor math and science, in addition to SAT and ACT prep.I love tutoring science courses, especially biology, since I always love to learn new things about how the world works and be able to pass on what I learn to students. I know that every student is different and learns differently than their peers, so getting to know students is my top priority when I tutor. Once a student's learning methods are understood, I feel I can help them improve effectively.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, watching soccer and basketball, and trying to find the best coffee in the city.
I am a certified special education teacher in South Carolina with 22 years of experience supporting students in grades K-5. I have an Ed.D in Curriculum and Instruction from Liberty University, and a M.A.T. in Special Education from Western Carolina University. I am passionate about supporting the individual learning needs of students to facilitate engagement and achievement in their academics. I have a wealth of experience with explicit and systematic reading instruction. I also believe in balancing direct instruction with activities that engage students based on their strengths and interests. In addition to literacy/ELA, I enjoy teaching elementary mathematics, and firmly believe in the importance of hands-on and visual approaches to teaching math concepts. Throughout my career as an educator, I have also been a private tutor on multiple occasions with students ranging from K-8th grade.
As a teacher I believe in and follow two teaching philosophies: Love and Logic AND Growth Mindset. This ends up looking like it being very clear how much I love and care for my students while also pushing them to learn from the hard moments. While I am encouraging my students to do their best work, I am always reminding them that "we can do hard things." By keeping this in mind, it makes learning so much more fun! I love helping students have those light bulb moments. A little bit about me, I have been a working with kids for 20 years and teaching for 10 years. I received my undergraduate from Columbia College, SC and my partial Master's (for my learning disability teacher license add on) from Furman University. This means that I have a background in both general and special education, all at the elementary level. I love tutoring in reading, writing, math, and social/emotional best! In my free time, I love photography, reading, cooking, and spending time with my my husband and our cat.
