Kelly
Algebra Tutor • +42 Subjects
I graduated from The College of William and Mary twice over. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a minor in Biology. I then completed my Masters in Education from The College of William and Mary with a concentration in Special Education. My humble beginnings as a teacher began at a residential treatment facility for children and adolescents with psychiatric and medical issues. In the years since, I have taught in public, private, parochial, day, and residential schools. Subjects ranging from English, Latin, math, and gifted education have been a part of my wheelhouse. I also taught English and study skills at a home education academy. While raising my children, I opened my own tutoring business and specialized in assisting learning-challenged students using educational therapy. I have also tutored various subjects, from algebra and biology to writing college essays. Teaching English online to students from around the world is another area I have thoroughly enjoyed. In the last five years, I have worked part-time in public schools as a math interventionist and math coach. Seeing the light bulb turn on when students finally understand a concept has been my joy. The reason I love tutoring is this: I feel I can make a difference in students' lives and students' learning methods. I believe when given the right tools, any student can learn.
Jordan
College English Tutor • +22 Subjects
I graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Arts in German from Utah State University, with minors in Latin, Linguistics and Music Performance. During my studies I began tutoring other university students of all levels in both German and Latin. Assisting language students has been a joy for me since the beginning, and an endeavor I have been eager to continue pursuing. There's something unique and inherently wonderful about the ability to express thoughts in multiple languages. Often times there is no translatable comparison, and it's through these discoveries that I have been able to truly understand a seemingly foreign culture. I am also an accomplished pianist with a classical background, and very much enjoy teaching piano to students of any level. As an undergraduate teaching assistant for college level Music Theory and Keyboard Harmony courses over multiple semesters, I am also happy to teach musical interpretation and theoretically informed performance practice.In the near future I plan to return to formal studies in the field of Linguistics to earn a Doctorate, and in the interim I have begun teaching myself computer science and programming languages. In this modern technocentric world, I hope to study the meeting of these two fields.

College English Tutor • +6 Subjects
I graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music (B.M.) and from Ithaca College (M.M.). At Oberlin, I studied trumpet performance and Eurhythmics, which is a fancy name for a unique pedagogical approach that uses movement to teach music. At Ithaca College, I studied to be a conductor, the musical kind (of course).So, why is someone with two degrees in music tutoring Reading and Writing? Writing has always been an essential arrow in my quiver of skills, so to speak. I wrote the program notes for the orchestra concerts during my time at Ithaca College and all my graduate coursework required a high level of writing. But the real reason I am a Writing tutor is that I love to write. Furthermore, I love to edit (strange, I know). I enjoy looking through an essay, tweaking words and sentences here and there to get the essay just right. There is something incredibly satisfying about constructing an expressive, potent piece of writing.When I am not writing, teaching music, or spending time with my lovely wife, I enjoy tinkering with my home espresso machine. I never used to be much of a coffee drinker until I bought my wife a semi-automatic espresso machine for her birthday. It quickly became much more mine than hers but as long as she gets the cappuccinos that result, she is fine with that. Understand, this is not the kind of machine that you just push a button and out comes a latte. It is the kind that specialty coffee shops use which require a bit of skill and finesse from the barista. I love experimenting with all the variables of making a great espresso including the dose amount, how fine to do the grind, how hard to tamp down the espresso, etc. The result? Delicious cappuccinos, right in my own home!

As an educator, the parallels one can make with students regarding excellent study habits and techniques is that they are quite similar to excellent habits and techniques that occur within physical exercise. An individual can lift weights for an extended period of time, but without proper form, the benefit gained would be minimal. A runner can train solely by running twelve miles the day before her thirteen mile race, but that would be highly ineffective. The best athletes know to seek out the proper techniques for improvement, and apply their efforts towards utilizing those techniques.Similarly, for you, the student, practicing repeatedly without any structure is not sufficient for success or excellence in your academic pursuits. Having the right techniques and skills in your study toolkit is vastly more effective. Success comes not only from applying yourself, but in directing your efforts in the correct ways. You need both proper from and exposure when it comes to how you study and practice, and that is what my tutoring can provide.As your personalized tutor (and an avid runner) I can assist you with directing your effort towards the right areas to ensure optimum success. I have taught critical reading, writing, and thinking skills at the university level for the past 5 years, and can transfer these skills to you to assist you with improving your performance on standardized tests at multiple levels, and/or your quality of writing on academic papers. Further as a highly capable instructor with several degrees between humanities related disciplines. I can enhance your understanding of what many students have found to be highly challenging subject material. I look forward to working closely with you to create a plan for your future academic success.

Jonathan
Accounting Tutor • +15 Subjects
Hi, I am a University of Texas at Austin Master in Professional Accounting graduate who has tutored at every level of my education career. From helping fellow students in high school with math to assisting graduate students with accounting as a TA, I understand the impact a good tutor can have not only on the bottom line grade but on overall confidence in a subject. Studying for the CPA exam (and scoring FAR-93, AUD-90, BEC-95, REG-94) puts me in a unique position to break complicated accounting subjects into their most basic components. Most of all I am genuinely passionate about helping others succeed!
