Matthew
Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects
My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.
Shoshana
Adult Literacy Tutor • +30 Subjects
Hello! I am a dedicated tutor who loves helping my students grow and develop further understanding and comfort with English and Spanish reading, writing, and speaking. My experience in the field of education began while pursuing my undergrad degree at Northeastern University in Boston, where I tutored my peers in both Spanish and English. I continued to privately teach English while living in South America, and I teach private Spanish classes in my hometown of LA. My understanding and compassionate approach to tutoring provides a safe space for students to clarify and express their misunderstandings of the material, and I take great care to really understand and get to the root of the confusion or difficulty. I love seeing my students succeed, grow, and develop confidence within their ability to master these subjects.
Valerie
Algebra Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have worked both as a volunteer tutor helping underprivileged students and as a private in-home tutor. I have mainly tutored students in math, helping them break down unclear textbook material into understandable steps. I enjoy using my understanding of the subject matter to help others understand it better. I have a B.S. from UCLA in marine biology.
Amanda
Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +37 Subjects
I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and completed some graduate coursework at Loyola Marymount University in order to receive my teaching credential in Biological Sciences. I have experience both as a tutor, working with high school students in AP Chemistry, and a classroom teacher, working with middle school students in Life & Physical Sciences. I have a broad range of subjects that I am comfortable tutoring in, ranging from English and essay editing to Algebra and middle school math. But I am most passionate (and get most geeked out about) teaching science, especially topics in Biology and Life Science, because I love learning about how our living world works! My teaching philosophy revolves around students harnessing their strengths to become independent learners, and my job is to facilitate making those connections. Outside of education, I love spending time outdoors and doing yoga (a combination of both would be ideal!).
Michael
ACT Math Tutor • +21 Subjects
Hi my name is Michael! My core philosophy is to teach you the fundamentals that will lead you to become an expert in the subject. What makes me qualified to be your teacher is I have learned from Calculus teachers recognized as the best in this country, Sam Calavitta. I scored 800 on SAT Math and received AP scores of 5 on Calculus AB and BC.

I also enjoy cooking (and eating!), spending time outdoors, traveling, and simply relaxing with family and friends.I look forward to helping you reach your goals in writing, reading, literature, school, and life!

Nick
Algebra Tutor • +9 Subjects
I am a college graduate with my B.S. in Biochemistry from California State University Northridge. I have been a tutor for one-on-one situations before as well as in a classroom setting. I very much enjoyed working with the students and teacher during my time in the classroom. I have a strong passion for math and all sciences. I prefer to tutor math, and am comfortable from elementary math up to algebra II and geometry. Outside of the world of academia, I really enjoy being outdoors and being in nature. I have played sports my entire life so staying active is a big part of who I am. I love Star Wars, playing video games, and most things involving science fiction or fiction, including Harry Potter. That being said, working hard is what has gotten me to where I am today, and is always something I try to instill in the students that I work with. I believe in a balance of work and play, but when I'm with a student and we're working, we will work hard. I believe it is important to enjoy what you're doing and I always try to make things fun when tutoring, especially with math and science!
Dorothy
Algebra Tutor • +27 Subjects
I was born and raised in Long Beach, California and moved across the country to New Orleans to pursue my B.A. in English at Loyola University New Orleans. I taught high school English in that city for three years until I could no longer resist the pull of Southern California. Here, I continued to teach in private and charter schools for six years while I worked toward my teaching credential at Cal State Dominguez Hills.I firmly believe that all learning can be interesting, and I try to impart my enthusiasm to my students. It is important to help students relate content to their own lives and environments so that they learn on a deeper level and can apply their knowledge in the future. As an English teacher, I love tutoring writing skills, literature, and vocabulary development, but I also really enjoy tutoring Algebra and SAT math. My well-rounded background gives me an advantage in SAT preparation, and my easy-going personality makes tests less stressful.When I am not working, I am usually swing dancing! I also spend my time reading, crocheting, and taking selfies with my cat.
