My love of teaching comes from a lifelong love of learning and building relationships. As a high school student with over a 4.0 and a college student who graduated with honors, I know how to work hard, and I know that hard work will pay off. Having spent two years as a high school English teacher, I am extremely knowledgeable of all kinds of learning styles, but I have learned that almost every student learns best working one-on-one with a teacher. Therefore, I love being a tutor!A certified 7-12 English Teacher, I specialize in tutoring English skills (reading and writing) for success in middle school and high school and on the reading, English, and writing portions of the SAT and ACT. I can assist older students on GED English preparation and in their English college courses. I provide relevant homework for students who desire it.I appreciate feedback (online or in person) from every lesson, and I will work to improve and change my strategies to meet your needs.I am extremely flexible. I will meet you at a place that is most convenient and must suited to your specific learning needs.I look forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve success in your studies!

Math is my specialty when it comes to teaching or tutoring, but I have also been trained in techniques for tutoring all subjects included in standardized tests, especially the SAT.My tutoring style comes from my firm belief that a student will grow when they genuinely have their interest piqued, and the best way to do that is for their instructor to genuinely show passion and interest in the subject in order to pass that excitement on to their students.

I am a current student at Grinnell College who is passionate about helping students achieve their academic potential through personalized learning. I have worked as an educator in a variety of contexts, with a wide range of age groups, and know that what it takes for students to thrive is recognition and advocacy for their individuality as students and as people. My approach to tutoring, therefore, is student-centered.For over two years, I have worked with children as a volunteer for Sarah's Inn, a nonprofit organization that serves families affected by domestic violence. I have also been a tutor for 826CHI, which is a creative writing after-school program for Chicago youths. During high school, I also volunteered for over a year with Roses4Austin, which is an artistic after school program in the Austin neighborhood. Finally, I also enjoy dance and have assistant taught at Transcendance Studios in Oak Park, as well as taught a technique class to middle school aged dancers at Steppin' Out Dance Studio in Grinnell, Iowa.Please refer to my areas of expertise; I am enthusiastic to tutor in a variety of subject areas and am able to provide references upon request.I am thrilled to continue helping students of elementary school through high school reach their goals with confidence.

I graduated from Grinnell College in Grinnell, Iowa with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy in 2014. I recently returned to Albuquerque after spending a year in Spokane, Washington working with individuals experiencing homelessness. In addition to tutoring I work for Children's Choice after school program and hope to pursue a PhD in clinical psychology very soon. I would like to become a therapist in the future, and like to think my experience working with my students will help me when working with future clients. In my free time I like to play board games, do yoga, go hiking, and read books. I really like science fiction so if you have any suggestions I'd love to hear them!I do standardized test prep tutoring, with my favorite test to tutor being the ACT. My tutoring style is to adapt my method to each individual student. Different things work for different people and I will do my very best to try and find a method that works for you. I will also try and help you create a study plan to organize your studying and reduce stress. Together we can see those test scores go up!

I have been helping students learn math and physics for more than 10 years. I treat learning as an adventure with me as the guide. I have experience with diverse learners, including students with ADHD, autism, and other learning issues. I strive to relate topics to realistic applications so that you know why a particular subject is useful. I am ready to work with you to better understand physics and math.

I have a bachelor's degree in General Anthropology from Grinnell College, A master's degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and finally, a doctoral degree in Anthropological Archaeology from the University of Michigan based on archaeological research I conducted in India at the great late medieval/early modern South Indian imperial capital of Vijayanagara in its 16th-century heyday one of the largest cities in the world.Despite the anthropological emphasis of my academic training, however, I have spent much of the past 11 years teaching as an instructor in the History Department at the University of Arkansas, where my teaching activities have focused on global surveys of ancient civilizations and courses on the history and culture of early India. In recent years, I have also extended my reach to the modern era with courses on Modern Imperialism, Colonial India, and most recently, a course on the History of Beer and Brewing.Perhaps the most enjoyable aspects of teaching for me lie in the opportunity to share with students my fascination with investigating the immensely diverse civilizations that humans have created over the millennia and in imparting to students a sense of how we know what we think we know about these early civilizations in a manner that combines the methods and data of both history and archaeology.In my spare time I enjoy reading (both fiction and non-fiction), listening to varied musical genres, playing the trombone, hiking, cycling, cooking South Asian dishes, and home-brewing - the last a hobby that I have pursued for over 30 years as the result of the opportunity to study abroad in England as an undergraduate.

I am an independent artist and filmmaker currently residing in Chicago. I've been tutoring students in test preparation, writing, and math for a little over five years and love every part of it! I make sure to design my teaching methods with the specific needs of each student in mind. My top priority is the success of my students. I am very friendly and also push my students to challenge themselves.

I recently graduated from Grinnell College with a degree in Anthropology. As a tutor, I've worked with students of all ages, from elementary schoolers learning to read to adults preparing for the GED. I love history, science, math, and writing, and have a passion for the environment and social justice. However, I am excited to help students reach their goals in any subject area. I strongly believe in a collaborative approach as a tutor, where the students' goals are front and center, and we work together at a pace that is comfortable but achieves meaningful results. Outside of tutoring, I love spending time in nature, and am pursuing a career in the environmental field.

I enjoy helping students dramatically improve their performance in mathematics. Algebra and Geometry are my favorite subjects to tutor, but I am able to tutor anything up to Trigonometry. I am talented at utilizing unique teaching strategies and tools to engage students effectively, and foster a fun and fascinating learning environments. I am exceptionally patient and encouraging, while providing individualized and extracurricular support for students that are struggling with learning concepts and mathematical topics.

I enjoy working with students to develop personalized lesson plans, based on their learning style, for acquiring new skills and knowledge. Having taught in a wide variety of contexts, from elementary school children in Peru to adult learners at Universities, I understand the importance of being adaptable and always present and alert to students' needs.

I am an enthusiastic, patient, and experienced educator. I believe we can all find great joy in achieving a deep understanding of complex topics; I am here to help my students capture that joy. I care deeply about fostering the potential of all students. Tutoring is not just a job for me, but a passion. I have five years experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I tutored organic chemistry for three years in college, and I taught high school math for two years in Memphis. I love meeting students where they're at, and helping them to reach their goals. I studied chemistry and linguistics in college. My favorite subjects to tutor are chemistry, organic chemistry, Algebra 1, biology, essay writing, and ACT/SAT prep. I love helping students to discover their own problem-solving strategies in order to empower them as independent learners. In my free time I like to listen to music, go to concerts, play soccer, cook, hike, and read. I love having fun, and I try to make learning and studying into a game whenever possible.

A battle-tested veteran of the New York private school circuit, I graduated college in 2013 and now teach German in DC. I lived in German-speaking Europe for many years, and I majored its language, culture and history.I fully understand the many competing demands on a modern student's schedule. My tutees and I therefore tailor-make lesson plans based on their personal strengths and areas for improvement in order to fully capitalize on our time together.

I am an incoming Epidemiology and Global Health Master of Public Health student at the University of Minnesota. I received my undergraduate degree in Mathematics from Grinnell College in 2020 and also have extensive coursework in philosophy, biology, chemistry, and physics. I worked as a calculus tutor in Grinnell's math lab and tutored a professor's 8th grader in recreational math, competition problems, and ACT math test prep. I'm an alumni of the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY) and enjoy juggling, sudoku, and creating origami tessellations.

I am a dedicated tutor with a goal to center my practice on finding the learning style of each unique learner and working to establish an effective teaching style around the specific needs of the learner. I believe in communication between the learner and the tutor, and I encourage interactive learning.

After growing up in Minnesota, I attended and subsequently graduated from Grinnell College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry and Spanish. During college, I tutored students in Chemistry as well as worked at an on-campus coffee shop. I participated in a semester-long study abroad program in Ecuador, spending time in Quito and also completing a 6-week long internship with a midwife in a small indigenous village in Otavalo. After graduation, I moved to Louisville to pursue a Master's in teaching (MAT) while working as a Chemistry teacher. I have completed coursework towards an ESL endorsement through the University of Louisville as well, and am very passionate about providing individualized instruction that matches diverse student needs. I recently moved home to the Twin Cities to be near my family I find that breaking up difficult content, like Chemistry, into more achievable chunks often helps students feel more confident about their progress and allows them to visualize success. I, personally, enjoy reading, spending time outdoors, and walking my dog Lily.

I graduated from Northeastern University School of Law in May of 2014. Now, as I begin my legal career, I'm eager to encourage and assist students in continuing their education and pursuing their dreams.Before law school, I taught classes and tutored at an after school program in Boston. While there, I developed and standardized curricula for ISEE preparation (6th grade), Mathematics (5th and 6th grades), English (5th and 6th grades), Physics (5th and 6th grades), comic design (5th and 6th grades), and Robotics (grades 5 through 8). I also reviewed homework and skill-built in areas of weakness for students (grades 3 through 12).In 2009, I worked for Huntington Learning Center where I tutored students in preparation for the SAT in Math, Reading, and Writing. I also tutored students in preparation for the ACT and high school Mathematics.I look forward to working with motivated students.

I graduated Grinnell College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Religious Studies and Gender, Women's, and Sexuality Studies with a focus on women's history. I am currently a student at University of Pennsylvania in an accelerated bachelors+ masters program in nursing. I have been passionate about tutoring others since I was in high school. I began tutoring in high school as a hebrew school tutor and I volunteered in my high school's writing lab to help edit essays. As a senior in college, I was selected to tutor underclassman in writing and history. I took a special class to better learn how to teach writing at a college level. Because I have experience studying humanities, social sciences, and sciences I am passionate about tutoring a wide variety of subjects. I believe the key to an effective tutoring session is adaptability and making sure to personalize my approach to each student's needs.

In the summer of 2014, I took an MCAT prep course, studied various materials, and thrilled myself with a strong composite score. Although I appreciated the prep course’s rigid scheduling, most learning occurred on my own with a textbook in my lap. Afterwards, I found myself encouraging my pre-med friends to invest the time and effort to thoroughly explore study materials, and to confidently reach for the 99th percentile. To convey my desire for mutual success more broadly, and fulfill a position that in retrospect would have helped me further, I wish to apply my skills as a tutor.My work experience has been diverse in many ways, yet has also demanded professionalism and excellent teaching skills. Most recently, I worked in the Student Affairs office of my alma mater, Grinnell College, as the front desk representative for student, parent, and faculty concerns – all under confidentiality and time pressures. At the same time, I worked as a student leader of the Grinnell Outdoor Recreation Program to teach participants the techniques of various outdoor activities (e.g., canoeing, bicycling) and led day or week long trips with limited to no supervision. I was tasked with not only managing group safety, but maintaining healthy social dynamics and enthusiasm. This position understandably required exceptional responsibility and preparation, and I met these requirements without incident.Previously I have held two positions in education. In the Grinnell in Prison Program I first tutored two teenagers who had suffered mental and emotional trauma, and later taught two semester-long classes with self-composed curricula to inmates at a local correctional facility. With ambitious subjects, namely Cell Structure and Ancient Greek Humanities, I successfully captured class attention during lecture and discussions, included demonstrations, and asked them to submit several assignments during the term – all in the hopes that they found something inspirational enough to break the cycle of incarceration and poverty.As a college graduate in Biology, collaboration, coordination, and presentation were necessary elements of my research education. For example, I presented the results of climate change research that I conducted in Arizona to audiences at the University of Arizona, Grinnell College, and the 2012 American Geophysical Conference in San Francisco. These research skills, in addition to those described above, make me an excellent tutor.

Mick holds a B.A. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Grinnell College and is getting his Masters in Data Science at Portland State University. With experience tutoring college students and working with children as a summer camp assistant, he brings both academic depth and a genuine enthusiasm for making learning fun and accessible. He tutors a wide range of subjects, including K10 general coursework, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, PSAT/SAT prep, and programming in Python, C, and Java.

Hello! I'm an Iowa native who moved to Nashville for graduate school. My background is in the life sciences; I have a Masters from Vanderbilt in Chemical and Physical Biology, and my undergraduate degree is in Biochemistry. However, my education has been well rounded and I have interests in philosophy, literature, writing, and history. I have extensive research experience, and I hope to share my passion for science with students. I have experience mentoring undergraduate students during my graduate school education to help them gain research experience. I am a very patient teacher and have the ability to see problems from the students perspective; my tutoring style adapts to each student's individual needs, but centers on getting each student to come to their solutions rather than following any one formula for success. I have a lot of experience with standardized testing, and have taken multiple AP subject tests in addition to the ACT, SAT, and GRE examinations.In my free time, I like to play and coach Ultimate Frisbee. I coached the Vanderbilt men's team for three years and am currently leading a club team representing Nashville that travels throughout the southeast to compete. These experiences have helped me develop the leadership, discipline, interpersonal and educational skills that are so valuable for tutoring.

I am currently a law student at Northeastern University School of Law. I graduated from college with a B.A. in History and Sociology and have worked hard to keep my reading and college-level writing skills sharp. In my previous position as a community engagement director of a youth non-profit, I hosted college and job preparedness workshops as well as implemented a tutoring program to help youth with their organizational and study skills.In addition to the volunteer tutoring I've done in youth centers, I have worked for tutoring companies for the past 4 years, specializing in middle and high school math, reading comprehension, writing, and ACT and SAT Test Prep. I continue to volunteer my services outside of those positions as well, in order to provide my expertise to families who cannot otherwise afford lessons. My latest student went from an overall ACT score of 21 to 26, in two months' time.I truly believe I'm the best person to help out as I focus on making mastering difficult subjects an achievement students can be proud of. Please feel free to reach out to me to speak further!

There's fun to be squeezed out of everything, even your biology homework. As a tutor, I strive to get my students to find genuine enjoyment in whatever it is they're working on. If a student can discover what is seriously interesting about the material, he or she is much more likely to succeed in the work. I excel at getting students excited and interested because I am actually interested in everything! My specialty is literature and writing (I have a thing for grammar), but I also get a big kick out of math and science, especially biology. I make humor a part of everything I do, and I am adept at tailoring my tutoring strategies to fit each student's needs. When not tutoring, you might find me writing questions for game shows like "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire?" or watching old movies at the Film Forum. I also might be a LITTLE obsessed with my cat.

I am an undergraduate student attending Grinnell College in Iowa to pursue a B.A. in Computer Science. I grew up in Minnesota, and now I am staying in Omaha. I like traveling, meeting new people, and learning everything that I can.

I received a BA with honors in Chemistry from Grinnell College in 2011 and received my PhD in chemistry from the University of Wisconsin Madison in 2017. I was a student mentor in organic chemistry during my junior and senior years at Grinnell. Then, at UW Madison I was a teaching assistant for general and physical chemistry and taught summer outreach courses for high school students. After finishing my PhD work in December 2016, I served as a visiting faculty member at Cornell College in Mount Vernon Iowa. During the Spring 2017 semester I taught general chemistry, organic chemistry lab and conducted physical chemistry research with a student.When I was growing up I wanted to know the composition of the materials in the world around me and why a given material had particular properties. I found chemistry had the answers to my questions. Now I am inspired by how chemistry can be used to enable green and renewable energy sources. Chemistry allows us to connect the abstract and strange world of atoms and molecules to everyday applications.As a student, my learning was enhanced by constantly asking for clarification and attempting to craft my own explanation. As a tutor, I ask students to explain their thinking so I can find their confusion or misconception. After providing new information and examples I ask students to demonstrate their new understanding with practice problems to make sure my explanations made sense.Outside of chemistry I enjoy playing and following sports. I ran track and cross country in high school and college. I now enjoy playing ultimate frisbee and soccer.

I have received degrees from three American institutions of higher education, two of them quite renowned: Grinnell College in Iowa, one of the finest liberal arts colleges in the country, where I studied history (and I spent my junior year abroad studying history and politics at the London School of Economics and Political Science), and the University of Illinois, where I received a master's degree in labor and industrial relations. My third degree, in museum studies, is from San Francisco State University, not as prestigious an institution as Grinnell or Illinois, but one with a highly-regarded program in museum studies which attracts students from around the nation and world. I have a teaching certificate for ESL/ELL.History, labor and industrial relations, and museum studies may seem like very unrelated disciplines, but the common thread for me was my love for history. I focused on labor history at the University of Illinois, and, in fact, I co-authored a book on Illinois labor history, "Labor in Illinois, The Affluent Years, 1945-1980" while in graduate school there. Likewise, I concentrated on preparing for work in a history museum while studying at San Francisco State and did in fact work at the Pardee Home Museum in Oakland from 1992 until 2009, about twelve of those years as director.Most of my work at the museum was educational in nature. I honed my excellent oral English skills while giving thousands of guided tours of the historic house, including many tours for local school children. I also utilized my first-rate writing skills to explain the history and significance of the house and the Pardee family in the pages of the museum newsletter, which can be read at www.pardeehome.org.I became both a classroom teacher and a tutor after I arrived in China in 2009. I taught in a classroom setting at a public high school for three years and at a college for four years. For around six years, I was a tutor, with either one or two students per session, at a weekend English school in Tongxiang. So most of my students were of high school or college age, and, at the weekend school, also of middle-school age.Except for an unusual private high school in Shenyang, where I taught during my second year in China, and where I taught courses such as U.S. history, world history, and world politics, most of my teaching and tutoring centered on reading and speaking English. At both the high school and the college, I was responsible for preparing my own lessons, rather than following a set curriculum or using a textbook, so I was able to introduce the students to topics such as western politics and history and culture.I believe that most of my students in China who had any ambition to improve their English or learn more about life in the U.S. or other western countries felt very respectful and affectionate toward me as their teacher. l think they found me very engaged in my teaching, and quite lively and friendly, with a ready smile and laughter. I could be quite strict about one issue in particular, which was an absolute ban on playing on smart phones in my classes, but otherwise I could be quite relaxed and ready to enjoy the students and the class topic. I used to tell my students that I wanted to have an American-style classroom, with free discussion of any topic and students eager to participate and disagree with me, but it was really hard to budge Chinese students away from their norm of authoritative teachers and passive students. When I departed China in January, I received many presents and was honored at a number of dinners and parties, and I can only think that the students' high regard for me was quite sincere.I have had a passionate interest in popular music since my time in elementary school, when the Beatles and Bob Dylan and others came along and changed our lives. More recently I have been listening to a lot of Americana music and keeping a playlist of all my favorite tunes from over the past fifty years plus.My equally keen interest in historic architecture came later, during my freshman year of college, but I was able later to actually work in this field, as director of the Pardee Home and trustee of the Oakland Heritage Alliance. After a nine-year stay in China, I hope to get back to working in historic preservation as a volunteer in Cleveland. l enjoy doing little projects around the 1929 bungalow I own here and its yard.I am also a big animal lover, and I have just begun volunteering, as a cat adoption specialist, at the Cleveland Animal Protective League. I also love to write as a hobby, and I am now finishing up my 300-page China Journal about my nine years there, and I am ready to commence my Cleveland Journal.

I am a graduate of Grinnell College, a private liberal arts college located in Grinnell, Iowa. I have a Bachelor of the Arts in Computer Science from Grinnell's Department of Math and Computer Science. Since graduation I have tutored students of a wide variety of ages and background in a number of subjects. I have tutored middle school students in the Chicago area in Math and science and high school students in advanced Math, chemistry, writing, and helped them prepare for standardized tests for college admittance. I have also tutored adults preparing for academic proficiency tests for their jobs and with GRE prep for those interested in going to graduate school. Additionally I have taught English grammar, reading, and conversational skills to ESL students in Chicago, Ecuador, and Colombia. While I tutor a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy helping students with standardized test strategy and following their scores as they increase towards their goal. When I tutor, I aim to lead students to an answer by example so that they can see the reasoning involved themselves, rather than me just telling them the answer. The more the students can come to their own solutions, the more memorable the lessons will be. In my spare time I enjoy reading, playing skill games like scrabble, bridge, and poker, and outdoor activities like biking, camping, and canoeing when the weather is nice.

I am passionate about helping students build confidence in Japanese, Biology, World History, & Essay writing! With over 5 years of tutoring experience, I focus on ensuring that my students understand contents fully and holistically. In terms of my lesson-style, I use a structured style that is catered to each students' priorities and level. Among the strategies I use are content simplification via diagrams/rule sheets, application practice using exam questions, and essay constructive feedback.

Hi I'm Kara! I graduated from Grinnell College in Iowa in May 2017 where I majored in biological chemistry. During college, I worked as a class mentor for 1st and 2nd-year biology classes. As a mentor, I helped during class time and lab, but I also held sessions twice weekly outside of class to review and teach the material. I really enjoy working with my peers on biology concepts.

As a dedicated and enthusiastic educator, my passion for helping students stems from a deep-seated belief in the transformative power of education. Witnessing the moment when a student grasps a challenging concept or achieves a personal academic milestone is profoundly rewarding. These experiences drive my commitment to providing personalized and effective tutoring. My journey in education began during my undergraduate studies, where I developed a love for teaching while volunteering as a tutor for younger students. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Economics and Sociology from Grinnell College. This academic background has equipped me with a robust understanding of educational theories and practical teaching strategies. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including Mathematics, Economics, Sociology, and Geography. However, my favorite subject to tutor is Mathematics. The logical structure and problem-solving nature of math provide endless opportunities for creative teaching methods. I particularly enjoy helping students overcome their math anxiety and develop a genuine interest in the subject.

Hola! I'm a graduate of Grinnell College with a BA in Spanish and Linguistics. I have a passion for learning languages and increasing cultural competency. I aim to cultivate strong interests in learning the Spanish language because of all the opportunities and life lessons it brings to a student's life. I have been fluent in Spanish since elementary school through my enrollment in a Spanish immersion program, and have never taken a break from learning Spanish! I have experience tutoring college students from beginners just starting out to 4th years who have already mastered the language. I have spent 5 months living in Santiago, Chile and another 3 months teaching 9th and 10th graders English. I understand that learning a language can be one of the most challenging subjects a student can take, but I also believe it is the most rewarding. I hope to help you or your student on the path to successful language learning through individualized tutoring!
