Award-Winning Test Prep Tutors in Tacoma, WA

...a few more schools before I make my final decision about where to go. I've taken the SAT, GRE, and the LSAT, so I'm a pro when it comes to standardized tests. I got bitten by the teaching bug while in graduate school, where I worked as both a teaching assistant and a tutor. I absolutely love the moment when my students finally understand a topic or concept that they have been struggling with, and...

...what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying to grad school now, and in my spare time I love cooking and baking (it's vaguely scientific, right?). I rowed in high school and college, so I know all about the...

...3 - 12th grade. I specialize in Math but I'm also very talented in the areas of science and language arts. My Dad was an engineer, and my Mom was an English teacher. They made sure I understood the world as well as possible. Please let me do the same for you! When I'm not molding minds, I like to explore the world. Traveling has been a passion of mine since I was a child...

...tutoring programs in middle school, taught and tutored third grade Hebrew and B'nai Mitzvah students in high school, participated in a program teaching Spanish at a local elementary school in college, and spent the year after college teaching English in China. While teaching in China I worked mainly with high school students (mostly seniors) and provided individual tutoring to middle and high school students. When I returned to the US I also spent some time...

...Previously, I graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Science in both Environmental Studies and Geology. I am a PADI certified Divemaster and I’ve been scuba diving all over the world. I have spent time working with special needs children and doing scientific research in labs and in the field. Throughout my education I have been a well-rounded student in sciences and the humanities because of my patience in problem solving and because I...

...on application of cognitive and educational psychology in the physics classroom for lasting learning of the concepts. As such, I have 18 years experience and expertise in teaching introductory Physics courses (both Algebra and Calculus-based) at college/university level. My experience and education lends to me having not only comprehensive understanding of Physics and Math, but also a deep understanding of how to present/explain in ways that make it easy to pick up the concepts and...

...International Studies and Anthropology, with a minor in Architecture. Since graduation I worked for an online learning company, helping produce and edit their high school math curriculum. Additionally, I taught SAT Prep for a private tutoring company and a student success center in Brooklyn. Those experiences complemented my previous work for other companies in Math, Reading, and an academic journal. As a professional editor, I enjoy reading student writing and making concrete recommendations for improvement...

...in order to achieve greater success in the classroom. Working in a school setting has better prepared me to tutor students because I understand what is expected of them in academics. I am a young, eager and enthusiastic individual who strives to help students achieve success and overcome challenges. While teaching or tutoring, I conduct myself with professionalism, patience and just the right amount of fun. I enjoy reading, swimming, hiking and doing crafts. My...

...am planning/planting my garden and battling the many pests that our damp weather brings, or on a hike in the mountains with my sister. On colder days I keep my hands warm by knitting hats for friends and family. My new winter project is to tackle shoe-making so that I can finally have a truly custom-fit shoe. So far I have managed one pair of sandals, but this summer I expect to be trying out...

...several years of experience as a science teacher, I actually prefer to tutor math. I think math is the foundation for many sciences and a solid understanding of math can lead to a better understanding of subjects like physics and chemistry. I think that education is based on building habits rather than falling into a pattern of getting behind then cramming. A lot of education is sequential and taking shortcuts doesn't always work. As someone...
