High quality education is my passion! From a young age I attended a gifted and talented Middle School, where compassionate and encouraging teachers nurtured my lifelong love of learning. In High School, I was enrolled in the International Baccalaureate (IB) program in addition to multiple AP courses. Thanks to my supportive teachers, classmates and tutors, I was able to graduate High School with a perfect 4.0 GPA as Valedictorian of my 700 person class. All my life, I've wanted to foster that same level of passion for learning to everyone I meet. I graduated Pepperdine University in Southern California with dual degrees in International Business Administration and Economics with a concentration in Finance. I tutored all throughout my university career, working with my college peers as well as high school and middle school students. I especially love to work with students on fundamental math concepts that often get rush through in traditional classroom environments. It's my passion to get my students passionate about math! I'm eager to find out how I can best work with you to make learning fun and easy!

MS Pepperdine University • BA Hollins University
6+ Years Tutoring

I graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in political science from Hollins University. I had the wonderful opportunity to study in France and spend a semester in London. Finding a positive learning environment where I was able to thrive was a turning point in my life and shifted my career route towards education. Following graduation, I earned a Masters of Arts in Education from Pepperdine University. I also earned CA teaching credentials in Social Science, English, and Multiple Subject (elementary). I have worked with all types of learners as both a secondary English and history teacher but also as a tutor for students in grades 5-12. I am most passionate about giving students the personalized educational experience they need and deserve. I teach most history subjects, English, writing, and study skills. I am at my best working with struggling learners who need to build the skills necessary to become lifelong learners. I believe each student has the capacity to learn. Often the struggles students have stem from a lack of academic literacy and executive functioning skills. These can develop overtime while working through school content. I overseeing curricula for a national group of secondary schools and am currently seeking a Doctorate of Education-Learning Technologies at Pepperdine University. When I am not working or studying, I enjoy exploring the city, traveling, seeing friends, and attending theatre productions.

Jake
BS Pepperdine University

Hey I'm Jake and I'm a junior studying Finance and Applied Math at Pepperdine University! I've been doing private tutoring for over six years now and have taught all kinds of topics on all different levels of math, from Algebra to AP Calculus BC. I've seen great success in my own studies and scored perfect scores on the math section for both the SAT and ACT, as well as scoring a perfect 5 on my Calculus BC AP exam. As for my teaching philosophy, I believe that any student can learn as long as they combine hard work with an open mind! I've seen this in my over six years as a private tutor and I've been with students from frustrated and hopeless to thriving and confident in their OWN skills that THEY developed! There's nothing more rewarding for me as a tutor than seeing a student achieve their own goals, and that's my main goal: supporting students and meeting them where they're at to take them to where they want to be.

In my experience, I have found that everyone is capable of excelling. As a tutor, I see myself as a guide through unknown terrain. The journey across is yours to make; I am just here to help you get to your destination. I have been tutoring since High School working with middle school students to improve their reading and writing abilities. In college, I would help draft essays and research papers. Although I can tutor a variety of subjects, my specialty is with the language arts. I can tutor at all levels of reading and writing on whatever type of reading or writing you are engaging in, be it creative or academic. However, my favorite subject to tutor would be public speaking. Most people hate speaking in front of a crowd, and I used to count myself among them. What changed was that I realized no one wanted me to fail. The crowd was there to listen to me, and they all were rooting for me to get my ideas across clearly.Some final notes about myself: I received my Masters of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University and my Bachelor of Arts from University of California, Merced; outside of tutoring, I enjoy playing video games like DA:I or SCII, and watching Anime and TV shows online; my favorite Anime would be either Fruits Baskets or Escaflowne; I also like to sing.
