Matthew

Algebra Tutor • +25 Subjects

My entire educational background was spent in science and math classes, often it wasn't easy for me, so I understand what it's like to struggle with something and feel like you will never understand. But if you work the problems enough times and never quit you'll get through it. And asking for help is never a bad thing, no one has ever gotten through all of this without help.

Shoshana

Adult Literacy Tutor • +30 Subjects

Hello! I am a dedicated tutor who loves helping my students grow and develop further understanding and comfort with English and Spanish reading, writing, and speaking. My experience in the field of education began while pursuing my undergrad degree at Northeastern University in Boston, where I tutored my peers in both Spanish and English. I continued to privately teach English while living in South America, and I teach private Spanish classes in my hometown of LA. My understanding and compassionate approach to tutoring provides a safe space for students to clarify and express their misunderstandings of the material, and I take great care to really understand and get to the root of the confusion or difficulty. I love seeing my students succeed, grow, and develop confidence within their ability to master these subjects.

Amanda

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +37 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, and completed some graduate coursework at Loyola Marymount University in order to receive my teaching credential in Biological Sciences. I have experience both as a tutor, working with high school students in AP Chemistry, and a classroom teacher, working with middle school students in Life & Physical Sciences. I have a broad range of subjects that I am comfortable tutoring in, ranging from English and essay editing to Algebra and middle school math. But I am most passionate (and get most geeked out about) teaching science, especially topics in Biology and Life Science, because I love learning about how our living world works! My teaching philosophy revolves around students harnessing their strengths to become independent learners, and my job is to facilitate making those connections. Outside of education, I love spending time outdoors and doing yoga (a combination of both would be ideal!).
