Award-Winning Tutors in Santa Monica, CA

...This experience is the foundation of my tutoring philosophy. I believe education increases one's own sense of ability and self-worth. Because of this, I aim to inspire interest and excitement in my students, not simply teach them effect ways to memorize a textbook. In this way, I agree with William B. Yeats in that "education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." I empower my students to seek answers...

...Also, as the oldest sibling, it fell to me to help my younger brother and sister through the difficult times in their studies, so I have plenty of experience helping students find the right way to learn the skills and information they need for school. As you may have guessed from my interest in libraries, I love reading. Mostly I read fiction, but also some non-fiction when I find a particular book that sparks my...

...also teach younger students at a weekly Girl Scout program in Watts. In high school, I tutored for the SAT as well as teaching swimming lessons for over four years, so I am very confident in my ability to make complicated topics understandable.

...many aspects to taking these exams ranging from test taking strategies, the material itself, as well as preparation right before the tests themselves. I believe that every student requires a different teaching strategy, and I believe in treating every student as an individual rather than a collective. In terms of me personally, I really enjoy classical and electric violin, tennis, DJ'ing, as well as electronic music production. I am also an avid gamer, and I...

I'm now a first year fellow studying Policy Analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.

...other standardized tests such as the ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT. I also teach a bi-weekly SAT Prep course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12).

I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planetRussia, all...

...enjoyed learning about the biological sciences and art. I love to draw and always try to find fun ways to integrate visual learning into my tutoring sessions. I also have experience with the ACT and GRE standardized tests and would love to assist any student who is trying to prepare for success on either. Standardized tests are a drag but studying for them doesn't have to be! I love ice cream and comics and am...

...transform how you view of the world and I believe we all need help sometimes to get from where we are to where we want to be. By first getting an understanding of my client's needs, I am able to patiently break down the material in a way that makes it less overwhelming and help boost their confidence by emphasizing what they already know. Then we can take that confidence and tackle the material they...
