Award-Winning Tutors from University of Delaware

I graduated from the University of Delaware with my Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Special Education.I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Education Policy and Leadership from American University. Throughout my undergraduate experience, I spent a lot of time tutoring elementary and middle school students in reading and math. I also led two summer programs in which I facilitated STEM and teamwork activities with elementary aged students. Since graduation, I have spent two years teaching 5th and 6th grade English Language Arts in Boston, MA. I really enjoy working with my students to adapt my instruction in order to make it work for them. I believe education is really individualized-- every student learns differently and I am passionate about delivering instruction that is fun, engaging and relevant to each student! While I have experience tutoring and teaching many subjects for elementary and early middle school aged students, I really enjoy teaching math and reading. My goal is to make my students feel confident in themselves and in their ability to learn, and also have fun doing it! Outside of work, I love to run, hike, and paint.

Future Teacher. I want to make learning fun!

As a teacher with 15 years of experience in both regular and special education in the public schools, I am passionate about finding ways for all students to learn and achieve. So many children feel frustrated, angry and hopeless when learning is hard. I meet everyone where they are and find ways of getting them to the next level and beyond. I have expertise in a wide variety of techniques and methods. I am knowledgeable of IEPs (having written at least 300 in my career). I have worked with students as young as Kindergarten or as old as high school seniors. I have worked with students who are gifted and talented, students who are average performers, and many, many students with a wide variety of disabilities, from mild to severe. I have taught remotely for an entire school year (2020-2021 and half of the prior year. I have a M-Ed from Wilmington University and a B-Eng from the University of Delaware. I have completed many, many course hours since graduation to increase my overall proficiency and efficacy. I am passionate about finding ways for children to learn. ALL children can learn, some in traditional ways, some in non-traditional ways. Finding the way to ensure that students succeed is very important to me and to the world.

I am a graduate of the University of Delaware. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences with a concentration in Education. I went on to receive my Masters Degree in Secondary Education and Special Education. I am currently a Special Education teacher at a high school in Passaic Valley. Part of my daily responsibilities is tutoring students after class to help all different types of learners reach the same goal - understanding! The subjects that I tutor do not include only those in the social sciences, but also reading and writing skills. Reading and writing are crucial skills for all learners, and for any type of career path that a student chooses to follow. If my experience in education has taught me anything, it is that there are many different types of learning styles and it is meeting the need of that learning style that will help to foster appropriate understanding. Outside of the classroom, I also help coach wrestling and football at the high school, which are my passions outside of the academic sphere.

I am currently a graduate student in Chemical Engineering at the University of Delaware. I am working on using magnetic and flow fields to create advanced materials by directing the self-assembly process of nanoparticles . I have tutored students in Chemistry, Physics and Math all throughout undergraduate and graduate work. I truly enjoy breaking material down into its core components that allows the students to understand complicated information.

I like to tutor and teach because I love to learn, and truly enjoy helping others do so. As a cum laude graduate, I am well aware that hard work pays off. I also know that it is important to recognize when you need extra support in a particular subject or course, and even more important to pursue that help.I have tutored for the past 7 years at levels ranging from middle school to college. Additionally, I have been a high school teacher of both Spanish and French for the past 2 years. I am trained in foreign language pedagogy and know how students can best acquire foreign languages, and I have spent time implementing successful approaches on a classroom scale. My love for languages started long ago, and I really enjoy helping others to learn them. In college, I studied for a semester in the south of Spain and lived with a family there. It was there that I learned the true power of being able to communicate in foreign languages.Whatever your goals may be - whether it's improving your grades in a course, or learning for travel - I will be more than able to help you reach them.Additionally, I tutor for LSAT preparation. On the October 2015 exam, I scored a 167 (94th percentile) and am confident that I can help you reach your test goals. A higher score leads to better schools and more scholarships, so every point counts!I have a lot of availability and am more than willing to travel to you. I look forward to working with you and helping you reach your goals!

As a recent graduate of the University of Delaware with a B.A. in Psychology and experience as a peer writing tutor, I'm passionate about helping students feel confident and supported in their learning process. I strive to create a welcoming environment and provide invaluable feedback! Some of my subject interests include writing, english, psychology, and research science.

I have a BS in Biology, and a PhD in Plant Science. My area of research is in plant genetics. I have taught courses in Plant Biology and Genetics at the college and university-level at a range of institutions. I am available for individual tutoring in all levels and areas of biological sciences.

I am a Physics and Math teacher with an undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering and a Masters degree in Physics. I have also taught Chemistry labs at the Community College. I have tutored college students in math, chemistry, and physics. I have also tutored K-12 students in all levels of math, reading and study skills. I am passionate about helping people feel comfortable with math and science, and I try to adjust my teaching style to the learning style of the students. In my spare time I love to read and do puzzles.

I am a Pennsylvania certified math teacher. I have over three years of classroom experience and I am highly qualified to teach middle school through high school mathematics. I have always had tremendous success working with students on a one-to-one basis. I believe that every child should succeed, and that it is important to adjust my teaching style to the specific learner I am teaching. I am willing to tutor just about any math course but my specialties are Geometry, Algebra 1, and SAT Math.

Hi, I'm Matthew Schiff, a math tutor based in Plainfield, NJ. I believe learning is a personal and often non-linear journey, where mistakes are essential to growth - not detours. I create a supportive, challenging environment where students feel safe to engage in the "messy process" of learning. I tutor high school subjects including Pre-Calculus, Advanced Algebra II, Algebra, and Geometry, as well as college-level Calculus and Discrete Math. I also offer specialized support for the SAT Math and Praxis Mathematics (5165) exams. My academic background includes a Master of Education in Curriculum & Instruction - Mathematics Education (4.0 GPA, University of Texas at Arlington) and a B.A. in Secondary Mathematics Education (cum laude, 3.8 GPA, University of Delaware). With experience as a high school math teacher, I emphasize clear expectations, mutual respect, and differentiated instruction. I believe students should be able to choose how they learn. Whether through guided instruction, peer collaboration, EdPuzzle, or DeltaMath, I adapt my methods to meet each student's needs. My student-centered approach, rooted in William Glasser's Choice Theory, builds engagement and ownership. To support independent learning, I've developed "Schiff's-Notes," a collection of lesson summaries and practice problems. I also use Desmos, EdPuzzle, and DeltaMath to make learning interactive and feedback immediate. My goal is not just to teach math, but to help students build confidence, critical thinking, and resilience - skills that extend far beyond the classroom. In my classroom, students have shown over 70% growth on state assessments. As a Praxis Math tutor, I've helped future educators boost scores by 50% in just 8 weeks. If you're ready to master math and enjoy the journey, I'd love to help.

I was born in Texas and moved to India with my family when I was very young. Last year I came back to the US to pursue my higher studies.I have a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering and a Master's degree in Particle Technology. I have completed my Master's degree and while I search for full time employment, I want to utilize this time constructively and teach students and since I really enjoy teaching, I intend to continue doing so even after I have a full time job.Besides my academic interests in the field of science, I am extremely passionate about literature, music and the performing arts. I have been trained in Hindustani Classical Music for 10 years, I was president of my University Drama Club and also my School Debate Club and I am usually the go to person when there is want of poetic expression.Most of my free time is spent binging on old classic movies or singing out loud to classic rock and I also love to write.Having grown up with a little sister, I always took it upon myself to teach her (even if she didn't want me to sometimes). I have also taught few other kids and I realize that I very much enjoy the process of teaching and getting to know my students.I believe that the best way to teach someone is to first know the subject thoroughly myself, and then breaking it down in the simplest way possible for the student in a manner that they are able to relate to which can usually be achieved by establishing some common ground with the student.I am very much looking forward to getting to know some people through this platform and helping them learn in a fun way.

I received a Ph.D. in Biological Sciences from the University of Delaware this year. My research involved analyzing the evolutionary history, distribution, and functional significance of the sialic acid catabolism and biosynthesis gene clusters in the bacterium, Vibrio vulnificus. My dissertation work has given me a strong background in bacterial genetics, phylogenetics and bioinformatics, biochemistry and metabolomics.I have a passion for teaching and have experience tutoring introductory chemistry and biology courses, teaching undergraduates in a laboratory setting, and mentoring incoming graduate students. I have lectured sections at the undergraduate and graduate level of biology, focused on general biology and microbiology. I have also furthered my knowledge in pedagogy by taking courses in teaching the natural sciences through case-study based learning, as well as on the challenges of teaching the natural sciences in general. In the future, I hope to become a principal investigator at a research institution to continue to do excellent science involving bacterial metabolic evolution and mentor students.

I graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2010 with a B.S. degree in Chemistry. I then went to the University of Delaware and obtained my M.S. degree in Inorganic Chemistry in 2012. While in graduate school I was a teaching assistant for two years for introduction to chemistry laboratories and really enjoyed teaching. I am looking to use my passion for Chemistry and teaching to help students excel. I recently took the MCAT exam and I am currently applying to medical school. I look forward to helping you or your child succeed in Math and Science.

I am a graduate of The University of Delaware. I received my Honors Bachelor of Science in Education in Elementary Teacher Education with a concentration in Middle School Mathematics. Currently, I am working towards a Master of Education Degree in Leadership, Design and Technology from Pennsylvania State University. Since graduation, I have worked in a variety of mathematics teaching positions including as a Math Intervention Assistant Teacher, a High School Mathematics Teacher, and a Middle School Mathematics Teacher. I am a firm proponent of technology integrated, student-centered education, believing it to be necessary to stay up with 21st-century skills. I meet students where they are currently at, not where they necessarily ought to be through technology applications. In my spare time, I enjoy working on my house, reading, and spending time with family including my golden retriever, Callie.

I currently teach in a self-contained kindergarten classroom in a public school as a special education teacher. Prior to this, I taught pre-k inclusion and first grade. I love working with children and seeing them get excited for their own learning. When I tutor children, I use their interests and strengths to create fun games and activities to help them develop their literacy and math skills.

Welcome! I look forward to improving your skills. I am a Elementary Education/Special Education Teacher with experience from K-12. I have used all kinds of tools to improve reading skills, phonics to sound out words that re unknown, reading comprehension to be able to answer questions about what they read such as details or drawing conclusions, writing and basic math. My students enjoy the instruction because of the success that they are able to achieve. I keep in close communication with parents so that can see what their child is achieving and allow me to address any of their concerns. Students work with me and also have independent practice opportunities. When the student succeeds, I feel so proud.

Passionate and charismatic mathematics educator looking to tutor ACT Math, Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Trigonometry, and Geometry. Adept at implementing the Common Core curriculum through engaging lessons involving technology and student-centered activities. Committed to all aspects of student learning and the promotion of a growth mindset.

I've found that the most effective way to communicate a topic is to visualize it as much as possible, whether it be through images, graphs, data, or simply drawing it out. Numbers, equations, and text can only go so far, it's imperative to dive beyond them. Thinking outside the box can be applied to schoolwork, too!

I graduated from Caesar Rodney High School and became the 1st member of my immediate family to attend college when I decided to play football and major in Mathematics at the school that best suited my needs: Wesley College.Wesley's math program was small but filled with innovative professors and linked closely with an award winning chemical kinetic research department headed by renowned educator Dr. Malcolm D'Souza. The academic atmosphere encouraged constructive teamwork and helped me value virtuous collaboration and leadership skills. I studied applied and abstract mathematics while also learning pertinent information about the protocol for conducting research. The summer after my sophomore year I approached the chair of the mathematics department, Dr. Derald Wentzien, for permission to conduct an independent study about athletic participation in college. And in 2011, I begin researching Athletic Participation and itsTime Commitment as it Pertains to Academic Progress over the course of the fall semester while I lead the #3 ranked football team in Division III to our 3rd straight national semifinals appearance; the first time it had been done in its 141 year history.The following season I wrote The Art of Winning, a research study detailing the results of my findings, as well as the validity and implications of those results. I used my influence as a student-athlete, beat writer for the student newspaper The Whetstone, undergraduate researcher, and liaison for the Mathematics department to advocate for academic support and accommodations for underprivileged and underperforming students at Wesley College. I went on to accept a full scholarship to the University of Delaware's graduate education program and, in 2014, was hired by one of Delaware's most prestigious high schools, Cape Henlopen HS.I have spent the last 3 years executing rigorous versions of honors and college prep Statistics, Pre-Calculus, and Advanced Algebra. Now, I am ready to move on to the next chapter of my life.Feel free to contact me at erichgillespie93@gmail.com if you have any questions.All the best, Erich Gillespie Jr.

To be successful citizens and human beings, students must acquire more than knowledge; they must acquire good habits. It is habits such as curiosity, critical thinking, open-mindedness, respect, and cooperation that I hope to pass on to my students.My love-affair with language began at the University of Delaware where I graduated with a B.A. in English. Inspired to spread my passion for literature, I attended Simmons College, where I earned a Master's degree in Education. Upon receiving my teaching certification, I worked as an English teacher at Cambridge Rindge and Latin High School in Cambridge, MA. Most of my classroom experience focused on under-performing students, and my greatest joy as a teacher was in finding ways for reading and writing to feel relevant to students who had previously written off literacy as a non-essential.Along with my work in education, I have worked for the past five years on a variety of projects to create a sustainable and humane food system. In my own neighborhood of Jamaica Plain, I co-founded Egleston Community Orchard, an inclusive green space that grows food and community. I've also worked with several local non-profit organic farms as a grower and educator.I consider myself lucky to be an educator, in particular one who specializes in English language arts. Language is perhaps the only subject that has the potential to truly further every student on their path to self and world discovery. Through teaching reading and writing, we are, in reality, giving students a myriad of tools: the ability to communicate, to perceive the world through a multitude of perspectives, and the power to understand history and one's place within it.

I am currently a Junior at the University of Delaware in the midst of applying to medical school. While I have strong academic foundation in the biological sciences, I have diversified my educational background by taking several Psychology, Sociology, and Philosophy classes. I truly believe that being well-rounded in all facets of academia is what comprises true wisdom. I enjoy interacting with people and gaining their perspective on situations and trying to understand how they view scenarios. This one of the reason I enjoy tutoring. When I am not consumed in school work, I love running, doing yoga, and exploring new places.

I first fell in love with tutoring when I was hired by the University of Delaware as an in-house tutor in 2018. I had the privilege of working with students in Spanish at all levels, from novice to advanced. Since then, I have branched out into other academic areas including elementary education and high school/college humanities. My favorites are writing and foreign language, but I'm always excited to learn and grow with a student in any subject. I take a tailored approach to my students' learning, making sure that I understand exactly what they need and am able to provide it. Each student is unique, and I strive to make sure that they feel accomplished and prepared at the end of our sessions.I've got a Master of Arts degree in Spanish Education, a Bachelor of Arts degree in Spanish Studies, and I am on my way to a doctoral program in learning and teaching!I can't wait to meet you, and to make a plan for success!

I've been a TA for 2 years now, teaching and grading labs for both general chemistry and Biochemistry. Additionally, I've tutored for a wide variety of students in many subjects outside of chemistry, though have done extensive tutoring in chemistry fields as well. I generally tutor for World History, International Relations, Writing, Political Science, Chemistry (Inorganic, Organic, and Physical), Biochemistry, and many other subjects. I am a B.S. Biochemistry from the University of Delaware and I'm intending to go to medical school.I'm very passionate about helping students do their best and get the best grades possible. It's unfortunate many students don't feel like their professors or TAs don't actually give help. What I'm hoping to do as a tutor is to mend that gap a bit with a mutually beneficial interaction.I love tutoring most General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and International Relations type work. I have very strong depth and breadth in all these subjects, and always am willing to help students on these issues. I tutor best through example, either working through problems students have or talking with them about the work. I also am very good at helping students brainstorm essay topics or issues, and reviews on the subject. I prefer active learning over passive learning, lecturing is boring and tends to be a waste of time unless there's some interaction.Outside Academia, I love to write and hike. I'm also an avid subpar cooker, so if you want to know how to burn eggs I'm your guy.

I am a PhD candidate at Thomas Jefferson University studying prostate cancer cell and molecular biology. I have always been fascinated by the way our world works. During my undergraduate career I experienced the joy of passing that knowledge to others through teaching assistantships in functional anatomy and leading workshops in general chemistry. I have privately tutored in both subjects and I also have experience working with middle school students and teaching basic science and experimental methods. Whether your future career involves science or not, I am committed to helping student understanding of biology and chemistry fundamentals and employ a combination of active and visual learning techniques to supplement the textbook material. I am passionate about making the sciences approachable, as introductory courses in the area can be intimidating

Graduate student at Columbia University.Major in Finance + Economics (Undergraduate Program), and Public Administration (Graduate Program), Average GPA is 3.65.Speak Mandarin, English and Japanese.Subjects cover East Asian History (China & Japan), International Relation, Public sector (NPO related).

Teaching is about facilitating a process of discovery. In addition to tutoring, I work as a coach, because I want my contributions to the world to be about helping people excel and achieve whatever they are focusing on. As a Spanish tutor, I want you to grow your vocabulary and learn to use new grammar concepts. More than that, I want you to be able to express yourself, talk about the things that matter to you, and understand the worldview that comes with the Spanish language.

"My goal is to help you grow." As a tutor, no outcome is better than leaving that student with a sense of confidence that they can "do it" on their own. My job as a tutor is therefore to put myself out of a job. Whether we're conducting some side-by-side pair computer programming, or discussing high level concepts in object-oriented software design, or reviewing the formulaic steps to solve the quadratic equation, we seek the "A-ha!" moment where the student achieves a breakthrough in his or her thinking about the subject matter, about their potential for success, and therefore about themselves.

With a degree in English Education, I have spent over 15 years in the teaching profession. I have explored learning from several perspectives including classroom teaching, individualized tutoring, and parenting. My passion for English language and literature is evident to every student who meets with me. I have great approaches for tackling the intricacies of grammar, composition, and criticalreading that will benefit a lifetime of reading and writing. Having closely examined the challenges of the SAT and ACT, I am excited to share strategies that will certainly lead to more confident test takers. Most importantly, I believe the tutoring experience should provide students with relevant skills that will make all future education more successful. Learning is a skill all its own and there are so many ways to master it. As a teacher, it is my goal to help students discover the methods and techniques that best lead to their understanding, not for just one assignment, but moving forward as a perpetual learner.

I am a graduate of both Duke University and University of Delaware. I received my Bachelor of Science at Duke in Computer Science and Biology. After graduating from Duke, I had several jobs involving teaching, including training adults on Microsoft Excel and Word and as a Science, Math and English tutor to elementary and junior high students. I also worked in Philadelphia as a standardized patient for a medical school. These jobs made me realize how much I wanted to be a teacher full time.I went back for my Registered Nursing Degree at University of Delaware, with the specific aim of teaching nursing once I had some experience. While at school I was a TA for Pathophysiology, Histology and I did some tutoring for Biology I. As a nurse I have worked in the Emergency Department, ICU, Surgical Unit, Medical Unit and in home health care. I had some experience in the medical field prior to nursing school as a student athletic trainer at Duke and a volunteer EMT for a Pennsylvania 911 ambulance company.For the past 7 years I have been teaching LPN Medical Surgical Nursing and NCLEX preparation. I have also taught Pharmacology, Leadership and Management and clinical classes. I am especially passionate about Medical Surgical Nursing.My time in nursing education has taught me that everyone needs a little help sometimes. No matter how passionate you are, it's easy to find material confusing or difficult to remember. I can help with study skills and test taking strategies that will help you not only with your current class, but future classes as well.In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, bicycling and reading.

I received my Ph.D from the University of Delaware in Materials Science and received my Bachelors degree from the University of Pennsylvania, also in Materials Science. In addition, I have a minor in Chinese Language and Culture. I have always loved learning and science, which is why I pursued the highest possible degree. I just want to pass my love on through tutoring. I have tutored grades 1 though 12 from reading and phonics all the way to calculus and chemistry. I have also worked on test prep and taken the SATs, SAT IIs and GREs.I have worked with children of all backgrounds and abilities, so am patient and understanding through any difficulties.

I am a graduate from the University of Delaware. I received my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering in Mechanical Engineering with a minor in Sustainable Energy Technology. As an undergraduate student in college, I worked with underclassmen on homework and assignments, helping them with a broad range of math and engineering subjects ranging from Calculus 1 to Fluid Mechanics.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, watching automotive racing, working out, running, and working on electromechanical projects.

I am a recent transplant to the Portland area after spending the last 4 plus years in Ecuador. I have been involved in education my whole life both as a student and teacher/professor, in various environments. As a student of Spanish,I have reached the highest level- C2(Advanced/professional) but I continue to learn and grow, research the best learning methods and tools, and take this to the classroom. I have helped students advance, improve and grow in Spanish, English, TOEFL test prep, and poker, and have formed many great relationships along the way. I'm easy going but like to challenge and connect with my students and really feel I do a good job adapting to allow them to get the most out of our sessions, classes, and my extensive experience. Currently, i am in the process of publishing a book about gaining fluency in Spanish which breaks down in an easy fashion the self- study strategies, tricks, tips,and tools that I used to become fluent in the language. Outside of the education world I have held some other interesting professional positions, and have traveled both around the country and world extensively. All of these experiences have made me a better instructor and tutor and I hope to be able to help you advance in Spanish, ESL or whatever it is you are studying!

Education is an opportunity for all individuals to challenge themselves and grow. My role as the teacher is to help facilitate this risk taking which leads to growth for all students. My goals help each student reach their goals and live their true potential.

I am a graduate from Sacred Heart University where I received my Master of Science in Occupational Therapy. I received my Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science at the University of Delaware. I am an Occupational Therapist with a passion for tutoring future therapists in both coursework and in preparation for the NBCOT exam. I appreciate and value the educational opportunities I have been granted. As a healthcare professional, I want to give back to my profession and help others reach their goals.

HS math and SAT tutor. My students improve their math grades significantly and SAT scores, sometimes as much as 230 points. I teach students not only math but also how to study and how to take tests. Many improve scores in unrelated subjects as a result. I have a degree in math education (6th-12th grade) and an MBA. I started tutoring friends and family, realized I loved how my students succeeded, and have done it ever since.
