I am familiar with teaching and evaluation methods to identify and help reading and writing issues, including reading strategies, like reviewing and summarizing, and writing strategies, like story maps, free writing, genre writing, and voice writing.

I am a recent graduate of Swarthmore College where I received my B.A. in physics. I had minors in mathematics and philosophy, and chose to pursue the honors program at Swarthmore, graduating with High Honors. I have experience tutoring students in high school, community college, and students attending Swarthmore. I most enjoy tutoring math and physics, since these are the subjects I love studying most on my own time. Explaining abstract ideas as a TA, as a volunteer in local schools, and as a fr...More

I am planning to enroll in the Latin American Studies program at the University of Oxford in September. During my junior year of college, I studied abroad in Granada, Spain where I lived with a host family and taught English at a local middle school.

I am a passionate educator and writer and have worked as a tutor and classroom teacher with students of all ages and backgrounds. I received my MFA in writing from Johns Hopkins University, where I taught undergraduates. My background as a teacher and tutor encompasses work with language arts in all its forms: creative and critical writing, reading and literary analysis, grammar and mechanics, college essays and language-focused test prep.

I am a Ph.D. chemist who has spent a good portion of my career focused on teaching. I recently served for eight years as an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Trinity College, a liberal arts college in which faculty have lots of one-on-one interactions with students.

I am currently transitioning back into full time chemical research but would like to keep a connection to st...More

I am currently a senior studying at Swarthmore College with a double major in chemistry and mathematics. I have tutored college and high school students in many topics including organic chemistry, calculus, trigonometry, algebra and general chemistry. I have also tutored students in the SAT verbal and math sections, as well as the math subject tests. My favorite subjects to tutor are SAT math, general chemistry and calculus.

I'm currently a neuroscience/psychology researcher at UW Madison. Teaching is one of my passions - I love being able to help students learn and understand class material.

I'm very good at test taking and US history, and I I have also been involved with theater, public speaking, and creative writing for a large part of my life, and I enjoy sharing the knowledge that I've gained from these experiences as well; in fact, one of my favorite things to help people with is finding the best ways to communicate ideas both structurally and semantically in writing and speech, from book reports to college essays.

I am also an alumnus of Brandeis University where I attained a Masters in Software Engineering. After graduation, I worked as a derivatives trader for over a decade. I was fortunate to teach over a dozen classes in statistics, probability and decision making.

I am most excited to help students prepare for the SAT, AP Government, and AP Human Geography. When I'm not tutoring, I work full-time as a city planner and play classical trumpet in several music ensembles.
