Kriti
Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects
I am currently a sophomore pursuing a bachelor's degree in computer science at the University of Washington, Seattle. I have volunteered to teach elementary to middle school children through two different non-profit organizations. One of the non-profit organizations puts a focus on teaching elementary students subjects within the STEM field to help them advance in those subjects. I also helped to develop a curriculum to start teaching programming at this organization using scratch for beginner levels and python for advanced levels. I am able to tutor a wide range of subjects that include elementary school, elementary school math, algebra, and various programming languages such as Python, Java, Scratch and even AP Computer Science. I find that having the right resources and guidance is extremely important in motivating students to keep learning and persevering through the challenging material that they encounter. It not only helps them better understand the class, but also makes it so that the material they are learning is still fun and interesting. By tutoring, I get the opportunity to work with wonderful students and help them advance in their education.

My passion in teaching is making mathematics accessible to everyone. I particularly enjoying working on Algebra II, Pre-calculus and Trigonometry. I also love getting to work on ACT prep.Beyond teaching I am a very active person, I try to get outside as often as I can. Traveling is perhaps my biggest passion. I am excited to start exploring the Pacific Northwest!
Stephen
Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a positive, energetic, and upbeat person by nature. I love teaching others and learning more about the world around me. I attended Beloit College (Go Bucs!) in Beloit, Wisconsin where I received my BA in History and submitted an Honors Thesis. The year after graduation I spent teaching English to university students in Kaifeng, China. I then went back to school and got my Masters in Communication from Hawaii Pacific University. While pursuing my Masters I was a Math and Reading tutor, and I worked for my university's magazine, writing and editing articles for quarterly publications.I tutor SAT, History, Math, Reading, Writing, English Literature. History is definitely the subject I enjoy tutoring the most, as it was my major and a continued passion of mine. I'm even in the process of writing a historical novel!I grew up in Hawaii, and I love being outdoors with my wife and two dogs. We all live in Spokane, WA now, where the scenery is beautiful and there's an always adventure awaiting around every tree and mountain. In my free time I enjoy reading, writing, playing soccer and tennis, and just relaxing with my family.
Michael
Basic Computer Literacy Tutor • +33 Subjects
I have been working as a professional software engineer for over 10 years and I have taught computer science classes at a local community college for over 5 years. I have plenty of experience and strive to provide valuable real-world perspective for my students.I started teaching and tutoring simply because I truly find fulfillment in helping others to achieve their goals and learning. Computing is such an important field, and, in this industry, there is a real need for students to have as much understanding as possible not just about the programming tools, but also the techniques and skills needed for real-world software engineering.What my students most appreciate about me is that I bring real-world experience to the table. Along with being able to teach you how to accomplish a specific programming task in a given language, I can also help you understand how it fits in to the bigger picture, and the tradeoffs related to the different ways you could approach solving a given problem.I look forward to working with you and helping you along the path towards your goals, whatever they may be. Please reach out if you are looking for someone who will strive to bring valuable insight as a tutor.
Daniel
Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects
I am currently finishing up my time at Stevens Institute of Technology, to obtain a Bachelor of Engineering in Electrical Engineering. My love for teaching is something I found when I would tutor my younger brother in Calculus. Ever since I have been taking teaching opportunities where I can find them. At Stevens, the night prior to calculus exams, I would give a review of the materials to over 200 students at a time. Afterword I would stay and help any student that needed assistance one on one. I tutor many things but my biggest interests are Calculus(AB), Python programming, and other high school level maths. I believe the best way to teach math is to reduce the intimidation factor that math can have and this is exactly what seems to work for my students. In my spare time I like to hike, camp, ride my dirt bike and play basketball.
