I am a junior at the University of St. Thomas studying Actuarial Science with a minor in Economics. My goal is to become an actuary at an insurance company. I tutor Spanish, ACT Math, Algebra, Calculus, Discrete Math, Finite Mathematics, Middle School Math, Pre-Algebra, and Statistics. Of these, my favorite subjects are Calculus and Statistics because I find that they have many real-world applications. I love math and hope to help others understand it and enjoy it! When not doing math, I enjoy cycling, swimming, and playing volleyball.

Originally from sunny California, Grace is a teacher and performer currently working in Chicago. She graduated magna cum laude from Northwestern University with a degree in English Literature and Theatre, with a concentration in Theatre for Young Audiences. You can find a portion of her honors thesis on Virginia Woolf's last novel published in the next issue of the Madison Journal of Literary Criticism! Grace loves working with young people and has been teaching drama and tutoring students in writing and test prep for the past five years. In college, one of her favorite activities was volunteering as a teaching artist with Seesaw Theatre, a company she helped found that creates multi-sensory theatrical experiences for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. She has experience working with students ages 5-18 and with individuals of varying abilities.

I'm a dedicated husband; father and educator/ coach who is determined to ensure all students I come in contact with are successful in all their endeavors.I have over 20 years experiences as a teacher, and I enjoy teaching/ coaching students to help them reach their goals.

Hello, I'm Sam! I have a scientific background in education, but love to read and have a knack for English and writing. I'm looking forward to helping all types of students unlock their potential through education!

It's not that you cannot master the subject - you just haven't had a session with me! As a successful tutor of 31 GED recipients and many other students at all levels, I love proving to people that they are in fact capable of mastering any subject.I am an honors graduate of the University of Michigan, which I followed with extensive international travel and independent studies in many areas. It is my goal to engage the student with tutoring support that does not assume any competency. Sometimes students lose interest because they cannot see the real-life relevance of some subjects; I make tutoring enjoyable because I can connect it with real life importance.In addition to tutoring, I love running, biking, travel, Dilbert comics, movies, sports, books, weight training, Spanish and food (maybe I love food too much!).One session will convince you that your life as an academic star begins with me!

I am currently a sophomore in college at Milwaukee School of Engineering, studying Biomolecular engineering. I love all types of chemistry and biology. I have tutored since my freshman year of high school and I love it!

I am a sophomore/junior at Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering at Arizona State University. My inspiration to become a Mechanical Engineer came from when my 6th grade teacher gave me a solar-powered fan. I'll never forget how the blades started rotating on their own as soon as the sun light hit the solar panels. It was as though the blades turned with magic. Exploring how the solar-powered fan functioned opened the world to renewable energy. But, ultimately what turned interest to desire for the field was when I took a trip to Honduras at the age of 21 and experienced being deprived of water and electricity. Realizing that these were the conditions not only the people in this country lived in, but millions more around the world, was unacceptable to me and a desire burned within me to change that. My personal goal is to use my degree and interpersonal skills to start a non-profit one day that will help solve this deficit as it is my deep belief that everyone should have access to clean water and electricity.Although I discovered my educational interest early in life my journey to becoming an engineer has been a long and complicated one. Growing up in Lincoln Heights, a Latino community in Los Angeles, California, in the 90s, in a single mom household was an economic challenge. My mother came to this country to escape El Salvador's Guerilla Warfare that killed all the men in her family. She spoke no English when she arrived in this country. Her language barrier only allowed her to obtain a job as a seamstress, where she earned cents for every piece she sewed together. Though she earned very little, she provided all she could for me and took on the role of a father and mother figure. That being said we lived on a budget, but I was grateful as we always had food to eat and a place to live.In 2010, my mother had a work accident that left her disabled and unable to work. Although I had always worked to help my mother financially, this was a huge hit to our income. The disability checks she received were not at all enough to sustain us, so I became a full-time worker and became the head of household at age 20. Adjusting to this took some time, and I had to stop going to school. I eventually returned to school at age 23, as a part-time student at a local community college, as I continued to work full-time. This by far challenged me in many ways and nearly broke me, as I was always tired, making it very difficult to concentrate and learn in class and even more tough when studying alone. What allowed me to push forward during these hard times was remembering how hard my mom had worked for us and my desire to make a positive change in the world. Thankfully, at age 26, I was hired as a part-time busser by a local fine-dining restaurant company. This job allowed me to work less hours and transition to become a full-time student since the tips I earned plus my hourly supplemented the extra income I needed to continue supporting my mom and me.With great efforts, at age 28, I was able to transfer successfully from community college to ASU. It has been a nine-year educational journey to become a mechanical engineer, but I am more determined than ever. I aim to make my mother proud and build on the progress she has done, as I know that my fulfillment is also hers and therefore lives through me. I want to give back to community by becoming a mentor. I want my story to inspire girls and boys by showing them that we are not a product of our circumstances, but of our decisions, will, and actions. I do this because in order to make a difference on a larger scale and be on the front lines to make decisions that will help millions of people worldwide I know that I cannot do it alone. I must build a team that will help me accomplish these goals, and what better than those that share a similar story.

I graduated from Haverford College with High Honours in Classical Language and Literature and from Oxford University (MSt) in Classics. My academic background includes a large amount of reading, analysis, and writing, which are suited to the SAT preparation. I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself. I work very hard to make sure that my students make progress! In order to make this happen, I will tailor my approach to a subject to the specific needs of each student. In my spare time, I do landscape painting in oils and pastels. I also enjoy rowing and generally being outdoors.

I am a graduate of Clemson University, where I earned a Master of Science degree in Mathematics. I take a student centered and inquiry-based approach, and over the past 6 years, I have helped so many students achieve their academic goals. While I have experience tutoring middle school through college level mathematics, I am most passionate about Algebra and Calculus, where I try to emphasize the logical processes behind solution methods.

My passion for teaching and tutoring sparked when I was an undergraduate student at Florida Atlantic University. I was hired as an undergraduate teaching assistant by the biology department to teach a discussion course for both biology 1 & 2. In my discussion courses I had gained experience in effectively communicating scientific concepts to students who were learning the content for the very first time. I had found that teaching students the big picture and conceptual knowledge first helped them digest more difficult information. I would also help students by using analogies and mnemonics to help them remember certain topics more easily! In my experiences as a teaching assistant I learned how to be patient with students when they do not understand right away; and I am able to tell when a student is not comprehending the topic which allows me to switch the way I portray the information. I also like to give visual queues to students to help them see what they are learning about whether by drawing pictures or by showing the student short animations. Also, I have the student teach me back to the best of their ability so I can pin point exactly where they are having trouble. I hope that with my guidance I can help students feel more confident approaching problems that they have not been able to answer before. The main topics that I tutor are biology, algebra 1&2, and pre-calculus. My favorite to tutor is biology because I think it is fascinating to learn how living organisms, especially humans, operate and respond to the environment around them.I earned my bachelors of science in biology at Florida Atlantic University and currently I am working on achieving my masters degree in biomedical science with the prospect of going to medical school. My goal is to continue teaching people throughout my professional career as a physician. When I am not studying in the library or taking classes, I like to be adventurous and spend my time outside. Some of my hobbies include spearfishing, snorkeling, mountain biking, and archery. I also enjoy spending time with close friends and meeting new people.
