I am not someone who is satisfied when a student memorizes steps to solve a problem. I always want the student to understand what he/she is doing and why they are doing. This insight will make them a stronger, faster and better student, particularly in the field of mathematics. This brings the student long term results that could extend far beyond the work done in the tutoring sessions. Mathematics is my love and economics is my passion and because of this I bring incredible enthusiasm for the s...More

I am most passionate when tutoring students in mathematics because, regardless of your field of study, math has a funny way of popping up in whatever you do. As someone who has been the worst and best student in many classes, I understand that low performing students are NOT dumb or lazy and that a stellar tutor can make a big difference. In my free time, I like to sing in my church choir and exercise.

I am open to helping students practice speaking, reading, and writing without any judgment. I am open to helping you learn Chinese or Japanese no matter where you are in the learning process.

I am a graduate of Pomona College, where I received my B.A. in Linguistics. I love languages and grammar, and I enjoy helping others figure out the puzzles of how English and other languages work. I was a Fulbright English Teaching Assistant in Turkey, where I taught English to university students. I have experience with students of all ages as a tutor at Upward Bound and local community organizations. I have also worked as an American Literature teacher at Breakthrough Twin Cities, where my fav...More

I'm a graduate from Pomona College, where I majored in Media Studies, and minored in French. I am currently living and working in the Nashville area, but am available to tutor online from anywhere. For two years, I worked behind the scenes in Pomona's admissions office as an application reader, so I know how important the grades, scores, and proper style can be in determining where you'll go to school and who you'll become as an adult; and I also know how much having someone to guide and help yo...More

I am a new graduate of Pomona College, in Claremont, CA, where I studied Religion and Philosophy. While there, I wrote many papers of a wide variety, working on strong arguments, organization, and phrasing. I peer edited as well as volunteering with groups that mentored high school students, focusing on college admissions work, continuing and expanding my experiences from high school of tutoring for standardized testing. Additionally, I taught beginning violin to younger children.

I am drawn to primary care because it will allow me to bridge disconnects between underserved communities, patients, like Guillermo, and their doctors. I am confident that my ability to communicate empathetically with people from various backgrounds will be beneficial in an intensive care setting. I am excited to dedicate myself to a career as a physician serving the underserved, eagerly awaiting the opportunities and challenges ahead.

I'm a Junior at Pomona College, an elite liberal arts institution in California with a 7% acceptance rate. I am double majoring in Math and Computer Science. I primarily tutor Math, Physics and English, as these are subjects I've tutored in the past and believe I am most qualified to teach. I've always had a lot of fun teaching strategic and critical analysis, through intriguing puzzles and game-like math problems. I believe I am very personable, and love to meet new people.

I am most fond of languages, literature History - there's just so much humanity and adventure and passion and awesomeness and...we'll you catch my drift :) I have taught and tutored children as young as 5 up through college aged folk as well. My parents are both professors so I guess I was bitten at an early age with the education bug. Like them, I think that the keys to unlocking the most fruitful learning experiences are: Patience, Passion and Listening - on the both the part of the student an...More
