I want you to succeed, and I am strongly committed to helping you gain the knowledge and skills you need to flourish during our tutoring sessions. You will be challenged, and you will have a great opportunity to develop your critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Critical thinking is such an important part of your education and future. It fosters independent thinking, which will allow you to formulate answers to questions that may have more than one correct solution or no known solution. You will be actively engaged in your learning. You will interact intellectually with me during our tutoring sessions. We will build a safe and open learning environment that will allow your talents to flourish, provide you with a chance to demonstrate your own ideas, express your opinions, and ask meaningful questions. It is my hope that I can be along with you on your journey of learning.

As a mom of a young child, clinician and advocate to college students I know the challenges that arise with balancing academics, social like and growing up in todays society. I am well diversed with helping in several areas academically and socially to build confidence and competence. My motto "I am not telling you it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it. "

I earned a Bachelors Degree in Elementary Education in 2008 from Jacksonville State University and will graduate this year with an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from The University of Alabama. I have taught 6th grade Reading, Comprehension, and Writing for 12 years and have been a middle school administrator for the last two years. Throughout my years as an educator, I have tutored many students in all elementary subjects. My favorite subject to tutor in is English Language Arts because it is important to be able to communicate clearly with others.

Hi, my name is Betsy. I am a graduate student pursuing a Master's in Psychology from the University of Louisiana-Monroe. I attended the University of Alabama and graduated cum laude with a B.A. in Marketing. I have a passion for education and helping others succeed.

I love helping students of all ages discover their full potential! My strengths are engagement, creativity, and encouragement. I enjoy thinking outside the box and challenging my students to grow their skills with confidence. I work with students of all ages, teaching reading fluency, reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and writing skills. I also guide students in creative writing, poetry analysis, literary analysis, Shakespeare, and research papers. I specialize in proofreading, editing, and helping students craft strong essays, including college application essays. I also enjoy teaching history, art history, philosophy, ESL and other humanities. I enjoy working with students with learning differences, including ADHD, autism, and dyslexia, helping them build executive functioning skills, confidence, and effective study habits.

I am a lawyer in the Washington, D.C. area. I tutor in the test prep space - primarily for the SAT, ACT, and LSAT. I graduated from the University of Alabama in 2013, where I was a National Merit Scholar. I then spent one year in the Washington, D.C. area as a SAT/ACT instructor for a testing company, where I taught at four different area high schools and marketed company services to area high school students. I then attended the University of Virginia School of Law, where I was awarded a full tuition scholarship in part from my LSAT score. I also taught an SAT course for the same testing company during my time in law school. My teaching philosophy is simple: figure out what works for you and assisting you in achieving your best score. I'm pretty much always available to answer questions even outside of our tutoring time.

My journey to and through education is a long one because I am a life learner. I received my B.S. in Business from Judson College in Marion, AL. A few years later I went to the University of Alabama and received my Class B Teaching Certification in Special Education Collaboration K-12 which encompasses all ability levels, including Gifted. After that, I taught special education inclusion and small-group classes at a middle school in a metro Atlanta, GA suburb for 4 years (6-8 grades and all subjects). There, I was the lead special education teacher for a staff of 20 and passed the Praxis for Teaching Reading for middle school. For the next three years, I held the same kind of teaching position at a junior high school in Bibb County, AL. I continued my teaching career at a rural high school just outside of Selma, AL. My position again consisted of inclusion teaching and small group classes in all subjects and grades 9-12. After 5 years in that role, I made a change to general education in the same high school and did so by passing the Praxis in the area of English/Language Arts for grades 6-12. While teaching 10th-grade English and providing special education accommodations to my students, I served as the school's 504 coordinator. I earned my Master's in English Education for grades 6-12 from the University of West Alabama. Before the 5 years I taught 10th grade English passed, I began work on my Education Specialist degree in Teacher Leader at the University of West Alabama. Throughout all of those years of teaching middle school and high school, I tutored students at school in many subjects, especially reading, writing, math, and ACT prep during and outside of school hours. Next, I received a dream opportunity to join the faculty at an Alabama State Community College teaching Freshman English Composition I & II and American Literature I & II as I completed my Master's in English coursework from the University of West Alabama. During my first year in that position, I completed the coursework to earn my Ed.S. degree. I just completed my 7th year of teaching college English to start a brand new journey teaching elementary special education grades 1st, 3rd, & 5th. It has been amazing! I am approved to tutor A LOT of subjects: ACT English, ACT Writing, Algebra Pre-Algebra, Biology, Business, CLEP, CLEP American Literature, CLEP College Algebra, CLEP English Literature, College English, College Level American Literature, Comparative Literature, Creative Writing, Dissertation Writing, English, English Grammar and Syntax, Expository Writing, Writing, Fiction Writing, Government, High School Business, High School English, High School Government, High School Level American History, High School Level American Literature, High School Reading, High School Writing, History, Honors Algebra, Learning Differences, Literature, Math, Middle School English, Middle School Writing, Personal Finance, Reading, SAT Reading, Social Studies, Special Education, Test Prep, Thesis Writing, World Literature, and Writing, My favorite subjects to tutor are biology, English, math, literature, and writing because these are common trouble subjects that I can make easier for students. When I'm helping students and showing them different ways to understand various subjects, my students often say, "Why didn't my teacher explain it that way?" I incorporate the many accommodations and differentiation techniques I have learned over my 22-year teaching career. I am passionate about helping students succeed in areas in which they have struggled by teaching them tools to apply themselves as they continue to progress. When I work with students I use scaffolding to provide students with support and opportunities to work independently. Often I will incorporate alternative learning scenarios utilizing different learning styles and graphic organizers. I believe that all students can learn all subjects and find success along with increased self-esteem. Building relationships with my students is the key to the success they experience. As a teacher/tutor, my roles range from mentor to coach.

Hi, My name is Amber Wilson. I am in my 11th year of teaching special education. I have a bachelor's degree in early childhood education with a concentration in Special Education from Georgia State University in 2011. I then pursued my Masters degree in Collaborative Special Education (K-6th) from The University of Alabama in 2012. I pursed my Educational Specialist degree in Special Education from University of West Georgia in 2015. I have taught resource/co-taught K-5th in DeKalb County starting in 2013 for 5.5 years. I then went to teach resource/co-taught middle school math in 2018 for Gwinnett County Public Schools for 4 years. I am currently teaching self-contained Mild Intellectual/Moderate Intellectual Disabilities in Hall County School District starting in 2022. I believe that all students can learn, and they will learn to their potential. It might not be what everyone else is learning and it might not be at the same time as everyone else. I also believe that whatever a child is growing up to be, it will be the best they can be and will do the best they can do. I like working with students and believing in them and giving them the opportunity to learn and fill in the gaps that they are missing.

I have over 9 years of experience tutoring students preparing for teacher certification exams and hold degrees in English and Education, as well as a technical writing certification. I enjoy helping students strengthen their reading comprehension so they can break down test questions and avoid common multiple-choice mistakes. I also guide students in using exam specifications to study strategically and focus on what is most likely to appear on the test. My goal is to help every student feel confident, prepared, and calm on test day. I would love to help you achieve success.

I am a graduate of the University of Alabama where I received my bachelors in History. For the last 4 years I served as a prosecutor. I have since taken on a different role. While I never had dreams of becoming a writer, or writing everyday in my profession, I am currently serving as a judicial law clerk for the appellate court in my state writing, everyday. I seriously laugh when I think about the times I used to say "I hate writing." While in law school I also studied abroad in Tokyo, Japan where I worked in a law firm doing legal work, and teaching English to the attorneys in the firm. It was there that I realized I enjoy tutoring and teaching. As a practicing attorney, I continue to provide assistance to students who are studying law, as well as high school and college students participating in mock trial. To seek out a tutor let's me know you want to excel at what you're doing, and I look forward to helping you reach your fullest potential!

I am an avowed science nerd and Star Trek fanatic who loves helping students learn science!

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree in Biology and a Master's of Science degree in Nutrition. I am available to tutor Nutrition, Life Science, High School Biology, AP Biology, and College Biology. I believe that ALL students can learn....it is up to me, as the teacher, to find out how you learn best and then I meet you where you are. I will use a variety of methods to help you learn the concepts with which you are struggling, including computer simulations, videos, discussions, games, models, and hands-on activities where possible. My goal is to build a relationship with you and use YOUR strengths and likes to help you succeed in learning science.

I have taught 1st grade for the past 7 years in Nashville, TN and earned my degree at The University of Alabama. Roll tide! My passion is English Language Arts (ELA). I love teaching phonics, writing, reading, and grammar. I also enjoy teaching Math as well, but keep in mind my experience is in the early grades K-5. During my time as a teacher, I've worked with students from all educational backgrounds. I have even taught online for a full year during the COVID era. It was a year where I've experienced the most self-growth as an educator and I loved learning how to teach through the computer. My students loved it, and it's crazy to say that we were still able to develop a student-teacher bond as well. I have had great success with students in my years of teaching and think that I would be a great fit as your tutor.

My career in helping students begins when I was in 9th grade at Walnut Hills High School. I was involved, on and off, with tutoring elementary children of a family friend and editing college essays for nursing students who were short on time. I was known for the precise nature of my editing and the sharp improvement whoever sought me for help saw in their grades. Though my tutoring career ended once I entered into university, this does not mean I was doing nothing; I was busy expanding my skills and own knowledge.Having majored in International Relations, I have studied a wide range of subjects, ranging from basic international politics to the history of mass-consumerism in Europe to Western European Art History to diversity and communication. During my time in university, I also worked as a research assistant to one Dr. Randall Salekin; my duties included editing essays that were either going to be sent to or were rejected from peer-reviewed scholarly journals dedicated to discussing clinical psychology in depth, and shadowing interviews with at-risk teenage boys at the Alabama Juvenile Detention Center.I have also lived in Germany for a semester, and have been exposed to a world and wealth of cultures I may not have been able to witness were I to otherwise have stayed in the United States. Being near-fluent in German has changed my mind and allowed me to think in more creative ways, which will translate into creative and innovative approaches in helping students learn. My exposure to many different people and backgrounds in and outside of academia has also allowed me to develop the worldview and open-mindedness needed to pass on what I have learned to other students in an act of giving back to the education system that has nurtured me and the success I have earned.

I'm currently a student at the University of Alabama, working towards an undergraduate degree in math/statistics. Im also a part of the honors college at the University, the honors society Phi Eta Sigma, am participating in the new STEM program that allows me to work towards a MBA while completing my undergraduate degree. While finishing up high school I volunteered as a tutor for the AVID program at my school and throughout the past three years have tutored several classmates in a wide range of subjects. While I tutor in several subject areas, my favorite is math. I believe that education is crucial in the world that we live in today, but I also believe that each student is different and learns in different ways. I love showing students how what they are learning now will help them in life and I love finding new ways to teach material, especially if the first way of learning something is not working. Outside of class, I love color guard, writing, and just spending time with my friends, which normally leads to failing at board games.

As an experienced tutor, I'm here to offer personalized guidance and support to help students succeed academically. My approach focuses on understanding each student's unique needs and fostering a positive learning experience.

I am a teacher and tutor with 12 years of experience. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature, Master's in Education from Loyola Marymount University, and my Master's in Writing from George Mason University. I have traveled and taught extensively, teaching middle school in California, children and adults in China and Virginia looking to improve their English (as I am a certified ESL instructor); and college-level English and essay-writing. I have served over 1000+ students across my career.

PhD student in Chemical & Biomolecular Engineering

I'm currently a fourth year medical student at a private medical school in Texas. I've been involved with tutoring since middle school continuing all the way through medical school. There are so many different ways to teach based on how students learn best and I am passionate about meeting the individual needs of students so they can succeed. I took unconventional approaches to learning as instilled by mentors throughout my life that greatly increased my ability to learn and comprehend material . I've worked with tutoring students in ACT prep, SAT prep, MCAT prep, IB and AP courses, as well as STEM subjects from elementary school through to college. Recently, I've also tutored for USMLE Step 1 & 2. I also edit and work with students who need tutors for writing and reading comprehension. I have extensive experience in both college and medical school admissions and work yearly with students on essays and applications. I went to high school at the Downingtown STEM Academy and graduated May 2018 from the University of Alabama with a 4.2. I have a BS in Biology with minors in Social Work and Social Welfare. I will be graduating with an MD and MPH in May 2022. I tutor english, math, geometry, algebra, SAT, ACT, MCAT, USMLE chemistry, biology, organic chemistry, and writing along with other subjects. I've worked with rural students in Alabama, students in the Greater Philadelphia area, and students in urban areas. I believe education should be personalized and while schools can't provide this due to lack of resources, tutors are a great substitute for that. Education is the gateway to social mobility and happiness and I seek to prepare my student to meet their individual goals. I work to create an environment where the student can focus on understanding the material for their own understanding and not for others which significantly increases the students confidence in the subject matter and their desire to learn more.

I believe that all students can learn, just not at the same time, pace, way and method. My job as a teacher is to have a varied approach and meet the needs of my students not try to force them into a mold. Anyone can accomplish what they want to as long as they are willing to work for it. I have taught elementary, middle and high school. I have mostly stayed in the English world but have taught all subjects in elementary school. I love watching students who have always struggled have a lightbulb go off when I finally help a skill click. The thing I love about teaching the most is that I get to help students achieve their dreams.

With almost 30 years of experience in the college admissions and aid process, including a decade in the dean of admissions and aid role at a national liberal arts college, I enjoy helping students understand the admissions process and craft the best essays and applications possible. Having worked at both flagship public research universities and private national liberal arts college across the United States, I understand how the application materials are used and use a positive approach to help students present themselves to the college in the strongest way they can. I believe strongly that there is not such thing as a dumb question and the most important thing in the college selection process is fit between the student and the college.

I am a graduate of The University of Alabama with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. While in school and after graduation, I have dedicated myself to teaching a wide range of students from preschoolers to college students, including students with disabilities and language differences.

I am an experienced reading teacher of 32 years. I have a Masters in Elementary and Early Childhood education. I am reading and ESOL endorsed. I also have my National Board Certification as an Early Childhood Generalist. I was trained by Institute for Multi- Sensory Education in Orrin Gillingham strategies. I believe everyone can learn to read !

I have a BS in mathematics and an MS in Applied Statistics both from The University of Alabama. I am currently applying to PhD programs in Applied Mathematics. I have voluntarily tutored friends, family, and classmates starting from the eighth grade to the present day. I love to tutor people because I love helping people and sharing a glimpse of all the possible ways mathematics can be applied. The subjects I would be an excellent choice for a tutor are Mathematical Statistics, Probability, and Statistical modeling up to the graduate level. Cal 1-3 (differential, integral, higher dimensional) and linear algebra are also subjects I can tutor.

For the past two decades I have dedicated my time, my efforts, and my research to improving the learning experiences for elementary aged children. I have also assisted high school students in their writing so they are better prepared when they enter college. I believe education can be empowering and can elevate individuals as high as they want to go. I spent 15 years as an elementary school teacher, 6 years as an adult education teacher, and for the past year and a half I have taught pre-service teachers at the collegiate level. I am an experienced educator who uses this experience coupled with research to provide students with the best options needed to help improve their status as a student. I am currently working on my doctorate in curriculum and instruction, continuing to find the best ways to better the learning experience for students.
