I have been teaching for five years and am happy to say that I love my job more each day. I started my teaching career at a high school in Philadelphia and now teach sixth grade English and Math at a Quaker school. I have experience working with students ages third to twelfth grade and especially love tutoring writing and math. I currently tutor students at my middle school and have two years of experience tutoring for the SSATs. I have my Masters in Special Education and Secondary Math. I graduated from Columbia University in 2010 where I majored in history.I believe every student has the ability, when given the correct resources, to learn. I will be dedicated to helping your student maximize their learning and gain confidence with all academic subjects.

Hey there! My name is Miranda and I am going to school to become a math teacher and think this is a great way to start in the right direction! I want to help make math fun, if possible, and try to teach in different ways to help wrap your brain around it. I am patient and know that math can be frustrating, but I am willing to help you power through it!

Hola! I have taught Spanish for five years at the high school level. Unlike many other Spanish teachers I did not like Spanish in high school. In fact, I struggled a lot with it. However, after high school I was able to live in Mexico for two years and learned to love the language. Because of these experiences I know what it is like to struggle with the language, but I also know ways to make learning it easier and more understandable.Through college I also gained experience writing essays and research papers. I acquired valuable knowledge and techniques in formal writing.I currently work for my church as a director of religious education throughout western Pennsylvania. I have degrees in Philosophy and Religion (as well as Spanish) which give me a broad knowledge base and skills in textual analysis and application.

I have a BS in mathematics and a minor in physics from the University of Florida. I offer tutoring in these areas, as well as standardized tests like the SAT and ACT. I earned an IB diploma and offer tutoring for IB subjects as well.I often led study sessions and tutoring sessions as the officer of Outreach for the Society of Physics Students at UF. My main motivation for tutoring is simply that I love physics and math, and find them immensely beautiful. I want to share that love and illustrate concepts visually and intuitively rather than through mechanical computation. There's a quote I can't track down along the lines of "Do not attempt a proof until it is almost obvious" which guides my teaching philosophy.Outside of tutoring, I play classical piano, have worked in book conservation, and enjoy reading sci-fi and fantasy.

I have had many Math professors throughout undergrad and graduate school and I have found that, although they all know what they are talking about and are all very intelligent, what makes a math teacher great is understanding that not everyone understands things the same way he or she does. Throughout my years tutoring all levels of mathematics, I have developed the ability to readily explore several different viewpoints and methods to help students fully grasp the subject matter. I can present the material in many different ways until we find an approach that works and makes the material easy to understand. Nothing gives me a greater thrill than the look of relief on a student's face when they actually start to "get it" and realize that it is not as difficult as was previously believed.I have a Master of Science degree in Math, over three years' experience as an actuary, and am a member of MENSA. I am highly committed to students' performances and to improve their comprehension of all areas of Mathematics.

Graduate of Regent University and Oral Roberts University, respectively. Doctorate of Strategic Leadership, Masters in Business Administration, and Bachelor of Social Work with a Spanish minor.Since graduation, I have traveled extensively, training and coaching both students and adult learners with tools I developed, online tutoring of students preparing for the SAT exams, and the Maxwell Leadership program.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Business, English, Writing, Study Skills and Leadership.In my experience, when students come to their sessions ready to learn and improve on their subject area, the success they achieve exceed their expectations. I truly believe in the value of great education, it is absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I do my best to impart this appreciation to all of my students.In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, walking, dancing, and the odd game of scrabble and study of foreign languages.Skills: Online Tutoring Intelligent Tutoring Systems Peer Tutoring English as a Second Language (ESL)

My name is Amira and I am a student at Carnegie Mellon University! I'm super excited to work with you! I started teaching at a very young age, beginning with my three younger siblings -- teaching them to read, along with basic mathematics, and science skills. I also have dedicated much of my academic career to teaching kids to code!I'm an extroverted, upbeat, and positive person and I can't wait to see what we can achieve together!

Hi, I'm Savannah! I am just finishing the final semester of my undergraduate work at the University of Pittsburgh School of Education where I studied Applied Developmental Psychology. I will be starting my graduate program in the summer at the same school focusing on Instruction and Learning. I have always had a passion for teaching and learning that has been further developed during my time in the CASE program at Pitt where we focused on learning not only how to teach well but also how to serve the overlooked populations of our society through education. My underlying goal as an educator is to bring social change to my classroom, in the lives of the individual students, in the school culture as a whole, and ultimately somewhere within the greater education system. I want each of my students to know their worth and their value, to feel loved and respected, and to feel welcome and safe. I want to teach them how to read, but even more than that I want to teach them how to be successful and equip them with the tools necessary to achieve that success. My goal is to carry over this philosophy in my tutoring too!

Writing and critical thinking are essential to academic success and participation in our cultural experience. Life is richer with a clearer understanding of how and why cultural production and the arts work. My goal is to demystify the writing process and nurture critical analysis to not only increase academic success but create more meaningful life experiences. I firmly believe that the humanities and a liberal education serve to create a rich and more enjoyable life, regardless of what field of work one ends up working in.I earned my Bachelors degree in Comparative Literature from Long Beach State University and a Masters in English from Portland State University while working full time. This blue collar outlook benefitted me by seeing how a liberal arts education dovetailed into situations that were not strictly academic in nature. The critical thinking skills that were fostered in the classroom would translate out into the living world allow me to converse and engage with various members of the community in meaningful ways.My passion is allow students to see this fluidity between the classroom and real world and help them realize the meaningful nature of the humanities. Once this understanding is achieved problems with the writing process and critical analysis become less daunting, since we must simply learn a new way to communicate the ideas we are already engaged with.I enjoy attending all sorts of cultural events, especially those that offer unique and differing opinions from my own. From the country flea market to the civic opera, watching blockbuster films to the independent arthouse offerings, I like to engage with all of the cultural productions that are available to me. It is in that spirit of 'Carpe Diem' that I enjoy being a part of the creative, living world around us.

I am a Cornell University graduate, I majored in Biometry and Statistics. I am interested in helping students to succeed in their course work by sharing my passion for learning, and by helping students develop their critical thinking skills. I am particularly well suited to assist students with math and physics, subjects which I believe are fundamental in the process of "learning how to learn".My personal values are as follows;- Hard Work- Caring- Integrity- Do the Right Thing- Do Things Right- Teamwork- GratitudeMy goal is to nurture a partnership with students. Learning is a collaborative effort. Students need someone to work with as opposed to someone to work for, and I strive to provide that service to them.
