I am not a student anymore, however, does not mean I can't still dedicate myself to learning. There is no better way to do that than to help others learn too, and that is, most of all, what I want to do.

Carter
ACT Math Tutor • +37 Subjects
I am currently a Sophomore Mechanical Engineering major at Tufts University. I have a passion for anything math related and enjoy sharing my love for math with everyone else. I make sure that everyone understands the stuff they are learning on their own terms to make sure it is more accessible for future use. I was a Teaching Assistant for a Calculus 2 class last semester. I love baseball, swimming, and rowing. I also used to play chess competitively. I believe the way to truly understand something is to do it until you can explain it to someone else.
Jessica
AP Spanish Language & Culture Tutor • +25 Subjects
I have a BA from the University of Maryland College Park in Spanish, Russian, and Secondary Education, and an MA from CUNY Graduate Center in Urban Education. I taught Spanish for 7 years in middle and high school and I tutored high school Spanish students of all levels after school. I lived in Spain for a semester in 2005 and I absolutely loved it! I also lived in St. Petersburg, Russia for an academic year and it was the experience of a lifetime. I currently run an online store selling my teaching materials. I enjoy getting creative with the Spanish language! Teaching is a passion of mine and I am very enthusiastic. I enjoy watching students learn and grow and I love Spanish culture and the language (and even the grammar!). Spanish can be challenging but also a lot of fun!I love traveling and I have been fortunate enough to have been abroad a few times and seen much of Europe and Russia. I went to Greece and Italy for 2 weeks this summer, and I also visited San Francisco for the first time! I love camping and kayaking, and just generally getting out of the city. I have an adorable guinea pig and sometimes I enjoy knitting. :)

Sophia
ACCUPLACER Prep Tutor • +55 Subjects
I am a graduate of Hellenic College Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies with a minor in Ancient Greek and a Master of Arts in Divinity. During my studies and since graduation, I have traveled extensively, with both family and friends, and have made invaluable experiences throughout my adventures. I have tutored students from kindergarten through college levels for 7 years in a variety of subjects. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Spanish, Writing, and Multicultural Studies. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I firmly believe every student can become more confident and independent with the help of a tutor who takes the time to get to know each student's unique learning style. I believe education to be incredibly helpful for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading material that enriches my life, swimming, running, and watching odd and old movies.
Courtney
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
Hello students! I enjoy school and attend Arizona State University where I am obtaining a bachelor's degree in nursing. I have a psychology and social work minor completed to accompany my degree, and enjoy healthcare and sciences very much. I have also completed several AP and collegiate level English courses and enjoy helping those around me. Anatomy and science courses are my favorite to tutor, as I use them every day and find them very interesting. I tutor various levels of math, English, writing, and science, and like to let students contribute insight on the areas they need help with, and I provide feedback and knowledge from there. I believe that this increases student confidence and ability be self-sufficient and successful with the student's education. In addition to academics, I enjoy hiking and spending time with my puppy. I also volunteer at the county animal shelter and work with hospice care providers for nursing and elderly people requiring extra assistance. I wish you luck in your educational goals and hope to be hearing from you soon!

Alexus
Elementary School Writing Tutor • +9 Subjects
I'm graduating from the University of Illinois May of 2018 with a BA in Psychology. I've tutored in high school and mentored through my college career, which has taught me patience and compassion that I will use continuing in my tutoring. I tutor English as a second language and reading/writing at the elementary and middle school levels. My style is reaching someone where they are and adding onto it. I focus on finding and using strengths as a foundation to further learning.Outside of academia, I enjoy dancing. I've practiced ballet for 17 years and dabbled in other forms, like modern and hip-hop more recently. Dancing has always been an outlet for me. I love using my body to express myself just as much as I love using my words.
Cordell
ACT Writing Tutor • +21 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I'm passionate about helping people. I have a cognitive disability and despite not having good short term memory, I'm able to leverage my long term knowledge in everyday life, to still function successfully. I grew up in an environment where I was taught that the value of knowledge can be gained or shared from those around me. I'm a social work major and believe that the groups of people most often left unaided are the younger generations and slightly older generations as in the senior citizens.I've worked over the years with nonprofits, charities, after school programs, and youth mentoring groups. I gained my current level of education, recently a Kennedy-King College A.S. graduate, attended Robert Morris University, and currently on track with 90% completion of my B.S.W. at Governor State University and will start the Masters in Social Work next year 2020.I also have Expert certifications in Microsoft Office Expert (Word and Excel 2010). I can tutor a range of subjects, including, but not limited to: English Writing, Reading, Government History, Politics, Biology, Speech, Microsoft Office, and Computer technology. My favorite subjects to tutor are writing, speech, and government. Writing and speech involve characteristics that show the strength of a person's character that may not be instantly perceived on the surface. With government, it's interesting learning the methods laws that are established and impacts they have on its citizens. No matter how far a person goes in life there's always something new that can be learned. Adults can even learn from the youth just as we all learn from our elders.Growth only comes when you can admit to being weak in some areas and knowing when you need help. I encourage students to ask questions as many times as needed despite anxiety about sounding foolish or redundant, their personal understanding is more valuable than the thoughts of their peers around them. I have a personal disability and despite it, I can help encourage others to advance to new levels. Having a disability is just like having a different kind of motivational spark.I have a teaching style that empowers individuals to learn concepts that can be applied to similar problems. I recognize diversity and understand some students are visual, kinesthetic, and/or audio learners. I can connect students to the material by explaining the areas with the most confusion with significant patience.I have various ways to spend my time when I'm not contributing to my own knowledge and those around me. I serve regularly at my church during the week. I like to play sports and workout at the University of Chicago Athletic Centers, as well as play strategy/puzzle/sports games on various game consoles. In addition, I like to watch comedy sketches regarding politics and current events.
Ousmane
Algebra Tutor • +32 Subjects
I have been an engineer in the aerospace field for over 10 years. I hold a PhD and a Masters degree in Aerospace Engineering from GA institute of Technology. Prior to grad school, I attended the City University of New York where I earned two bachelors degrees (Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics).I have tutoring experience with a wide variety of students from college student athletes to students attending inner city schools to those in exclusive private schools. Through it all, my tutoring philosophy has remained the same: to guide students to the discovery of problems solving instead of providing them with the right solution. Because ultimately my objective is to help students develop their ability to learn independently.Teaching has always been a passion of mine. Since my college years, I have tutored on and off for the past 15 years. I am equally comfortable teaching young students as well as adults in a variety of mathematics and related subjects (Algebra to advanced calculus to Geometry and trig to statistics), physics, and tests prep. Calculus one is of my favorite subjects to tutor, because it is always awesome seeing students' faces when they realized the real life meaning or applications of a mathematical theory.Outside work, I love outdoor activities and I am avid soccer and basketball fan. I am also fluent in French.
