Award-Winning Tutors serving Catalina Foothills, AZ

...the spring of 2011, I studied abroad in Alcala de Henares, Spain, a city in the municipality of Madrid. There I lived with a host family and was fully enriched by the beautifully rich Spanish culture; nothing could have been better for my acquisition skills than such a true immersion experience, and I advocate such programs for students who wish to learn foreign languages. My true passion is writing - I recently completed a poetry...

...for all. I signed up for some intensive tutoring--3 hours a day, 6 days a week, for one month. On a grading scale (UK), where a score of 75% or higher is an A (and I was hoping to reach the 75% mark), I scored a 100% on my final exam. I was shocked, amazed, and ecstatic. I felt empowered to pursue any field of higher study. The tutoring that I received helped fill in...

...as peers. My teaching approach is very student centered and hands on. I am a confident communicator and value the opportunity to work closely with the family as well as the classroom teacher if applicable. When I am not working as an educator I am usually involved with family. My four children, all in college or graduated, accompanied us during our years overseas and they are a fine testimony for our family values and love...

...you and providing resources that could be beneficial to your education. I believe that, "Education is the Path to Success". This means you continue to work hard and strive for success. My experience with teaching has been and is currently on Humanities and ELA. I am currently teaching Humanities which is ELA with the integration of History. Please feel free to reach out with questions or concerns that you have about me or for me....

...at all levels, have the potential to grow; and that with hard work and effective support, they will. As a tutor, I am committed to nurturing and maintaining a growth mindset in my sessions. Whether a learner is a top-scoring perfectionist with a fear of failure or a struggling student who believes they cannot succeed, a growth mindset will improve their relationship with learning. I completed my bachelor's degree in English at Kenyon College, where...

...pre-calculus and SAT prep. The biggest thing I've learned as a tutor is that everyone has a unique learning style and I was trained to be able to adapt to these different styles. Outside of school work, I love to go hiking with my husband and I am always in search of good food!! I have two adorable cats and a very cute dog. I have a love for all animals because I grew up...

I am passionate about helping my students' build their confidence in their ability to learn. As a graduate of the University of Arizona, I have a Masters Degree in Education with an emphasis in secondary mathematics. I am also fluent in Brazilian Portuguese which gives me the ability to teach to Spanish speaking students.

I am a life-long educator who loves tutoring and teaching children and youth. I have been fortunate to have had a career full of learning in secondary school and college. It's my passion to share some of what I've learned with you and to help you to excel in your areas of study.

...well in a subject was not always the easiest thing for me. Despite this, I decided to become a tutor because the last thing I ever wanted was for someone else to feel as if they were inadequate or to have someone encounter an instance of rushed tutoring. I have now been tutoring for a little over 4 years and have gained much experience along the way. Throughout these years, I learned to adjust to...

Teaching is exhilarating, I never feel more energized than after a class that has gone well. My desire is to engage, challenge, and inspire growth in my students. I want my students to make connections between old and new material, while developing a sense of self-sufficiency.

Teaching kids is my passion. I am an elementary school teacher in the Mesa area. I have experience working with kids in many different settings. I love working with them, and helping them reach their full potential, is my ultimate goal. Being in the classroom with my students is my all time happy place! Happy learning!

...more and your confidence soars. Success makes for more success. I tutor adults -- professionals in business and industry, but also educators and medical doctors. If you are trying to pass the TOEFL, I tutor that as well. So, if speaking is what you need, I can get you there. Using a couple of resources I've developed based on my experience tutoring, you can start to speak with confidence quickly. No more wondering "Why can't...

I'm almost a doctor! Ask me anything! I studied Human Physiology in college in addition to all the pre-requisites for medical school. I'm a 4th year med student now and can answer any questions related to that as well :)

...Chemistry, I believe in trying as many problems as possible to learn all of the various tricks associated with them, as well as going over the different concepts to make sure that the basics are fully understood. For Biology, I use a similar style, but with more emphasis on making sure the concepts are as easily understood as possible to facilitate easier learning and memorization. Finally, on a personal level, I enjoy doing just about...

...to my children. Then, not too long ago, I became a professional educator, and this, too, has been a gratifying experience. It is my pleasure to pass on the love of reading and the love of learning to the younger generation. Out of my love of reading, I have come to see myself as a life-long learner, and it is my hope to spark the interest of others to continue in the pursuit of learning...

I am currently student teaching 7th grade English in Tucson. My educational journey at Northern Arizona University to become a certified teacher with a degree in psychology is nearly complete. I have experience tutoring students with various abilities and interests for differing lengths of time. I look forward to meeting you!

...my favorite subject to tutor, as it marked the point in my academic career where I began to actually enjoy math. My tutoring style is one that values fundamental understanding and critical thinking. I would rather a student walk away with a deeper understanding of their material, rather than a list of memorized steps. On a more personal note, when I am not pursuing math and science, I spend my time geeking out with board...

...out with her writing skills. I have written a novel that will be published in the summer of 2021, so writing has definitely been a life-long passion for me that I love to help others with. I have tutored refugee students and international students as well, which has been a great joy to me. I love helping non-native speakers of English learn the English language. I have befriended many non-native students and have greatly enjoyed...

...the student to interact with me, as in more of a discussion versus a one-way lecture. My first and immediate goal is to build rapport with the student and develop a high level of mutual trust and respect. I look for multiple approaches to learning when possible, as learning can occur from visual, auditory and sensory cues. I have also personally studied how the brain actually learns, and have used this knowledge to better my...

I have been teaching for 26 years in grades 1-8, either as an English Language Specialist or a classroom teacher. I enjoy working with children and discovering the best ways to reach their academic abilities.
