I am a software engineer with a strong math background. I'm passionate about the subjects I teach and I'm looking to encourage that enthusiasm in my students.When I first began working towards my degree I started to tutor both college and middle school students in math. I found that I enjoy teaching and since then have tutored in Math, Science and Engineering.I am comfortable tutoring students with learning challenges. I personally struggle with Dyslexia and ADHD, so I can share tools and methods that worked well for me when learning content in school.I firmly believe that every student can succeed in a subject if they invest enough time into learning it and if the concepts are explained to them well. When I am working with a new student I try to figure out what kinds of explanations reach them the best and incorporate those into my lesson plans. I most enjoy students who are motivated and willing to put in the effort to master what they are trying to learn.

Hello!My name is Kellyn Traenkenschuh and I would love to be your tutor. I graduated from the University of Washington in Drama: Performance and Education. After college, I became certified to teach English as a Second Language. This last year I lived in Costa Rica and taught English to students of varying ages and levels. My classes are always fun, dynamic and personalized. Never a boring lecture! Whether you need help studying for the SAT, or tackling difficult English grammar, our lessons would be fun and interesting! Thank you for reading and I hope to hear from you soon!

My teaching career began many years ago in an Inuit village in Alaska (on the Chukchi Sea). It was a lot of hard work, but I came away from that experience understanding the importance of meeting each student where he/she/they were at: cognitively, emotionally, and physically. I work with my students as a coach and learning partner, tailoring what they need so they can get to where they want to go.I have a Bachelor's Degree in Education from Western Washington University, a Master's of Science Degree from the University of Minnesota, Mankato, and a PhD in Education from the University of Colorado, Boulder. I have taught thousands of college students for over 25 years: human development, educational philosophy, teaching pedagogy, research and writing skills, and speaking/presentation skills. I also taught high school students for a couple of years in Alaska and am currently a high school teacher for Seattle Public Schools; my class is called "Careers in Education." I treat my high school students like I treat adults, and work with them to take ownership of their learning so they can continue to build the muscles of self-advocacy and leadership.Because I work so carefully with my students on-one-on, I call myself a teacher-tutor-coach. With me, students learn reading skills, writing for different audiences, researching and writing master's theses or dissertations, and presenting information in a clear and confident way. I have also prepared students for the edTPA (capstone project at the end of student teaching) and the Praxis Test (for Para-Educator jobs). I have a 100% success rate with my students on those assessments. While the bulk of my career has been at the college level (undergraduate and graduate), I have had experience teaching middle and high school students, as well!In my spare time, I enjoy reading historical novels and writing my own books and blogs. Walking helps me relax and also process what I am learning and teaching. So I love to walk near water and in the woods.

Hi! My name is Maura, and I am an Elementary Special Education Teacher. This is my fourth year teaching. I graduated from the University of Missouri-Columbia in May 2020 with my Bachelor's in Special Education. I am a certified teacher in the states of Missouri and Washington. I provide my students with daily instruction in the areas of reading, writing, math, and social emotional skills. I have a passion for teaching and helping students reach their full potential. I differentiate all lessons to meet the specific needs of each and every one of my students. Every student brings a unique set of skills and needs to their education. I make an effort to get to know all of my students individually so that I can support them in the most appropriate and beneficial way.

I am a composer, instrumentalist, poet and educator in Seattle who is deeply passionate about the arts. I am constantly inspired to create and organize with sound and language in new ways; in an attempt to explore and express the limitless spectrum of the human experience.There are few things on earth more foundational than the arts, and as an educator I feel privileged to share my deep interest and appreciation with my students on a daily basis. There is nothing that brings me more joy then helping others attain the skills and tools needed to properly express themselves.

I am a recent graduate of physics at the University of Arizona, with two years of teaching experience at the college level. During my education, i always found teaching one of the most enjoyable aspects of my day and continue to believe that teaching can spread not only knowledge of a subject, but passion and interest.

I am a recent graduate of The George Washington University Law School and am currently a practicing attorney in Washington state. Prior to law school, I worked as an editor for a publishing company in D.C. I received my undergraduate degree from The George Washington University, with degrees in Journalism and International Relations. Throughout law school, college, and in my current and prior work, my writing abilities have been paramount. I have found success both in school and my career through understanding how to research and write for different purposes and different audiences, and I am excited to help students build this essential skill. My goal as a tutor is also to help motivate students throughout the writing process, not only by highlighting the short- and long-term benefits of being able to write well, but by creating a learning environment that generates enthusiasm and pride in creating a wonderful piece of writing. I also look forward to meeting new students in general, and learning about their interests and future goals. Some of my interests include cooking, photography, dancing, hiking, and playing tennis. Some of my future goals include getting a dog, learning to snowshoe, and of course, helping students achieve success in writing!

My goal is to assist other people in achieving their life goals through tutoring. I also want to encourage them as fellow humans. I focus on developing a study system for each individual student.

I am a PhD student in Classics (Ancient Greek and Roman studies) at the University of Washington. I have been tutoring Latin since 2015 and was a 5th and 6th grade Latin teacher for Basis.Ed from 2016-2018. I love working one-on-one with students of all ages to improve Latin skills!

About Me:I am a graduate of Chapman University in Orange, CA, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Advertising and Public Relations. I have spent the past eight years as an editor, as well as a web designer and developer. My interests include: reading (literary fiction, young adult), watching films, hiking, soccer, playing board games, traveling, cooking and writing. I am currently enrolled in the Literary Fiction Writing Certificate Program at the University of Washington.Tutoring Experience:I tutor students in English-related subjects: reading, college essay writing, essay editing, and grammar and mechanics. I have edited essays and research papers for high school, college and grad students, both ESL and native-English speakers. I provide feedback on content, organization, word choice, sentence structure, and grammar. I aim to give positive feedback before pointing out where they can improve in their writing as a means of making them feel encouraged and good about themselves.Tutoring Philosophy:Be Engaging: I strive to make learning fun and interesting. Students are more likely to stick with it through the challenging lessons if they are engaged. This can be achieved through learning games or by incorporating their interests into the lesson.Listen: Often, tutors and teachers focus too much on what they are saying and don't spend enough time asking questions directly to the student. By having them explain a concept to you in their own words and listening intently to their responses, you can discover a lot about a student's learning style and why they might not be grasping a concept.Be Patient: Students easily become frustrated over subjects or lessons that they aren't understanding. I strive to be as patient as possible and maintain a positive attitude. This provides an environment where students feel comfortable and encouraged to keep at it.Be Flexible: Every student has different needs and different learning styles. I am open to switching gears and trying new tactics when my usual methods don't work for a particular student.
