I am a highly successful physics and chemistry teacher in Massachusetts Public Schools for over 25 years. I graduated with high honors from Princeton University in Chemical Engineering. My math skills are practical and include graduate courses in differential equations and computer modeling.

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Virginia (UVA) originally from Fairfield, Connecticut. I am pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in Biology and Global Public Health on the pre-med track with the hopes of becoming a physician (hopefully in pediatrics). At UVA, I am involved in youth mentoring as a Program Director of "GEMS" (Girls Excited about Math and Science), where I teach exciting lessons and conduct experiments with a class of elementary school girls in a variety of scientific topics, while I am also the Head Program Director of Youth Mentoring at UVA. I was also involved in tutoring throughout high school, where I worked with a group of special needs students. While I tutor in a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Science (especially Biology and Chemistry), and Humanities, which are most strongly reflected in my own studies. In my experience in the areas of reading and writing in particular, strong literary thinking skills helped me to be more creative and set myself apart in many of my applications to college, so I am passionate about helping students of any age to become stronger writers. I am also passionate about enhancing students' skills in critical thinking, especially through STEM topics, which can set students up for success in any difficult course or standardized test. I hope to instill a strong appreciation for education and learning within each of my students, and I believe that the first step is to help students feel more confident in their areas of interest while setting goals for the future. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking and being outdoors, traveling, painting, and playing soccer.

As your tutor, I am here to help you reach your goals, no matter if you're shooting for a better ACT reading score or to conquer some tricky French conjugations. I will provide expertise in both English and French and use my tutoring experience and graduate studies in education to help you succeed.When working with a student, I aim to identify their learning style and strengths and use this information to maximize outcomes. My teaching strategies are flexible, allowing me to adapt to whatever my students bring to the table. I also believe in the power of setting goals. When students have a clear vision of what they hope to gain out of tutoring, sessions become more effective and students see results more quickly. Finally, I strive to take complex problems and make them simple for students, with clear explanations and helpful tips and tricks.In 2013, I graduated with honors from the University of Virginia with a double major in French and foreign affairs. While at UVA, I spent six months in Lyon, France, published a research paper in French, and took French graduate courses. As a foreign affairs major, I crafted research and response papers and earned excellent marks on my grammar and writing style. During my undergraduate years, I switched over from being my family's French tutor and English grammarian to a volunteer ESL tutor. For three years, I tutored refugees and French adults in English. In summer 2014, I was accepted to study language education at DePaul University. My goal is to ultimately become a secondary French and English language teacher.

I attained an Associate's Degree from Virginia Western Community College where I tutored students of various ages, including older adults. I continued my education and graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Virginia (UVA).I've always enjoyed math and science subjects and helping others understand concepts. With math, there's usually only one right answer and yet numerous ways to arrive there. This is also my philosophy with tutoring since all students want to do well in their courses but there are so many ways to accomplish that. Everyone is different which is what makes this world so interesting!

I am a graduate of the University of Virginia where I double majored in Economics and English Literature. I spent the year post graduation traveling the world (Brazil, South Africa, Thailand, Australia, Fiji, Hawaii). That year enriched my life in ways that formal education couldn't, and it has helped me to view learning and teaching with a global perspective. I then started working on Wall Street and have been doing that for the past 10 years. I understand the pressures and stresses of academia, which is why I like to bring a sense of humor to each session. I am currently tutoring English Literature, Essay and Creative Writing, SAT Verbal and Math prep. In my free time I enjoy reading, crossword puzzles, and trail running with my dog.

I am a graduate of Duke University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Literature and Cultural Theory. I am currently completing my PhD in English Literature at the University of Virginia. My dissertation focuses on 20th Century U.S. Fiction, but I also have a strong interest in African-American literature, film studies, popular culture, and gender theory. At UVa, I have taught literature courses as well as first-year writing seminars, which have focused on topics including the American Dream, Gender and Sexuality, and Borders and Frontiers. My favorite things about teaching writing are working individually with students to help them brainstorm ideas and articulate their point of view in their clearest, strongest voice, and seeing their work become stronger across each draft they revise. When working with students in my literature classes at UVa and the North Carolina Governor's School, I especially enjoy helping students develop strategies for careful, critical reading. My years of teaching and tutoring have led me to the firm belief that literary analysis and clear writing are not mysterious talents that you either have or you don'tinstead, I believe anyone can become a better interpreter of literature and a better writer with practice and encouragement. In my free time, I enjoy walking my dog, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, going to art museums, and catching up on "Game of Thrones" or "Project Runway."

My goal is to help students achieve their goal, whether it's to excel in a classroom, or to confidently order in a restaurant.A Brit by birth, I grew up bilingually between London and Cahors, a small town in Southwest France. I attended the local lycee and passed the baccalaureat with high grades. My B.A., from University College London, is in French Language and Literature. I spent a year in Martinique (French West Indies) teaching English in a local middle school. I've worked as a home tutor in a variety of subjects for middle school and high school students in London. I've taught adults too: I brought my passion for, and training in, landscape architecture to the New York Botanical Garden, where I was an instructor in the History of Landscape Design.I find tutoring so worthwhile that I also do it on a volunteer basis: I'm currently teaching English as another language to new Americans. I've been told I'm a good listener, and I believe people learn best in a participative, supportive environment. My experience has been that teaching, done well, is a two-way street: tutor and student learn from each other.My family is still in France (Paris, Rouen, and Cahors), so I return every year. A raging Francophile, I'm usually immersed in French culture, even from across the pond: France Inter is my favorite radio station, and I enjoy contemporary French fiction.

I have worked with numerous students for the VA and FL exams, and have had students for AL, IL, IN, OH, TX, WV, and CA exams.After over three decades of being licensed in numerous states, I can guide you thought getting to know what's important. I have been licensed in VA, PA, MD, and DC, and I have earned the CCIM designation.Real estate is interesting and fun. To be successful, you have to work hard and know the laws and regulations.Currently, I am a licensed broker in VA and PA, and go through re-licencing every two years for both, so I am current on typical laws and regulations.

Hey, I'm Ryan, I specialize in micro and macro economics, math through Calc 3, Spanish, and SAT prep. I've been tutoring for years throughout middle school and high school, and I'm happy to help with whatever you might need!

Hi, my name is Tatevik and I am a 2017 (B.S.) grad from the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. I currently work in consulting in DC and am passionate about STEM, data analytics, and management consulting. I enjoy spending time with my family and dog in my free time, playing tennis, and doing yoga.

I graduated from the University of Virginia with Distinction with BA's in English (Poetry Writing concentration) and French. Since graduating, I lived in St. Petersburg, Russia where I taught at the American Montessori International School and worked at The St. Petersburg Times, a weekly newspaper. I started tutoring before college, and I have since tutored students ages three-adult in French, SAT Reading, Writing, and Verbal, Essay Writing, ESL, Study Skills, and more.I am also an avid, competitive ballroom dancer. I began teaching dance at my ballet studio in high school before going on to teach my college team, as well as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language, Spanish.In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however, is immensely rewarding. With a little guidance, everyone has the ability not only to boost their test scores, but also to set themselves up for a lifetime of confident communicating.

I first became a tutor in 2007 when I accepted a position as an SAT prep instructor. I quickly found that I enjoyed working with students to help them meet their goals and ease their anxieties surrounding college admissions testing. After doing SAT prep tutoring for several years, I became a high school math teacher in the Houston area. Although this type of teaching required an expanded skill set on my part, I thoroughly relished the challenge and am grateful for the opportunity to have impacted so many young lives.Currently, I am pursuing a graduate degree in mathematics from the University of Houston, but I still have the urge to teach and help students as often as I can. I look forward to using this platform to continue to educate and change lives.
