No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.
I am a licensed secondary math teacher. I recently graduated with my degree in Mathematics Education from Brigham Young University. Their program is ranked one of the best in the nation for preparing undergraduate math educators. I took classes from nationally recognized professors with decades of experience. My favorite part of tutoring is to watch students learn. I love to see those moments when the light bulb comes on for them. I believe that different students need to learn differently. I am patient and encouraging with students as we figure out what they need. I enjoy breaking concepts down as much as it takes for students to begin to understand and build up. I think this conceptual understanding is crucial and I love helping others create it. I have experience both tutoring in person and online. I have tutored online on and off for about two years. I worked for a year as a general tutor at a dorm where I focused mostly on high school math and chemistry. I tutor all math: everything from elementary to college subjects. I also tutor Spanish; I lived in South America for a year and a half and speak fluently. Besides teaching I love hiking and camping. My favorite way to spend an evening is out at the park playing sports with my husband.

Hello! My name is Jonathan, I love music, sports, learning new things, and getting to know people. As a poor college student, my whole life consists of looking at things in new ways and always maintaining a positive outlook on learning. I'm eager to share my love for the many things I know and help you love it too!"The task in front of us is never as great as the power behind us" -Ralph Emerson
I am a happy person, and I love helping other people learn difficult concepts. I've graduated from college, but I never want to stop learning!
Learning didn't come easily to me at first. Only when I understood how the brain really works could I understand the effective ways of learning. Now I love helping others grasp the same principles I have studied! More than anything, I am here to provide encouragement and support and I am willing to go to great extents to help you reach your educational goals.
I think everyone deserves to learn in their own way and at their own pace. That's why I love being a tutor! I love working with people one-on-one to help them really learn, understand, and become more comfortable what they are studying.I have been tutoring in various subjects for about 5 years, but I specialize in math, especially Calculus. I worked in the math lab at Brigham Young University for 3 years and gained lots of experience in helping people understand math. I also enjoy tutoring a wide range of other subjects, ranging from test prep to computer science to English.I am currently a Master's student at BYU studying Computer Engineering with an emphasis in robotics and autonomy. When I'm not tutoring or doing research, I love to travel, run, play frisbee, watch movies, and just spend time with the people I love! I also sing Baritone in my University's top choir and recently returned from a tour to Vietnam and Indonesia. I'm a firm believer that everyone has something great to offer the world and it was fun to share my talents and to learn from others throughout the world!
I've been teaching Physics and Chemistry for the last 6 years at a prestigious high school in Utah. Originally from Chicago, I'm happy to be back in the Midwest. I love teaching because I love to see students' enthusiasm when they understand something for the first time or when they finally accomplish something that is hard for them. Success in school is more than just about getting a grade. True success can build students' confidence, increase their desire to learn, and give them more optimism in their future endeavors.My Bachelor of Science degree is in Physics Teaching, with a minor in Chemistry, and my Master of Science degree is in Technology and Engineering Education. My programs well prepared me in the sciences and mathematics with many classes, labs, and tutoring opportunities. My Master's program is a rare field and has drastically reshaped the way I teach. For my thesis, I was able to study the effects of the engineering design process on students abilities to problem solve. Since then, I have focused my instruction not only on the content, but also on teaching kids how to think through challenging situations using an organized thought pattern. Instead of just help students with their homework, I work to help them understand the content and teach them how think through the problems so they can approach new situations without hesitation.My students have statistically been the highest in the school both in their classroom tests and on their standard tests. I've had particular success with closing the gender gap for my classes. On average, boys do 12% better than girls on their standard tests in science and math, but in my classes, there was no gender gap. All students did significantly higher than their school wide and statewide peers. I attribute this primarily to the ideas of teaching for understanding, using a gradual release of responsibility in solving problems, and teaching problem solving skills.
I graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor's degree in elementary education. I was interested in teaching because I recognized my deep love for learning and wanted to inspire others to develop that same passion. Before becoming a certified teacher, I was a volunteer tutor for school and community outreach programs such as Seeds of Success, Best Buddies, and Peer Assistance Leaders. I also went on a service mission where I taught a variety of people on a daily basis. These experiences helped me to relate to students individually and teach with their interests and personality in mind. In preparation to teach 5th and 1st grade, I was formally trained in current teaching strategies for all subjects. I received additional, focused training on Phonics, which made reading my favorite subject to teach. Besides being a proud wife and mother, I enjoy varied hobbies such as cooking, yoga, hiking, architectural design, and learning the Portuguese language.
Hey! I'm Gavin. I'm a student at Brigham Young University in Provo Utah and love helping people. My current goal is to help you learn and excel in any way I can!
I have always loved helping others, and I've found that I do my best work in a one-on-one environment, like tutoring. I graduated from BYU with a bachelor's degree in communication disorders, and I will be working as a speech-language technician for Nebo School District, starting in the fall. I lived in the Dominican Republic as a church volunteer, and I am fluent in Spanish.I understand that students retain best what they do themselves. For this reason, my tutoring philosophy is to allow the student to go as far as he or she can alone and then give the tools necessary to figure the rest out together. This process continues until the student feels confident doing the work alone.
I am currently pursuing a double major at Brigham Young University in International Relations(with an emphasis in Eco-political development) and Portuguese.I tutor History, ACT Prep, and Portuguese.I love to teach and find it fun to learn, my approach as a tutor is help students love learning through developing an encompassing view-perspective- on their subjects. Or in other words by turning a list of things to memorize into a captivating story.I love Basketball and the arts, particularly movies, music and Literature.
I was born and raised in Mexico, and I have lived in the US since I was 18. I graduated with a BA in history and a minor in Arabic from BYU in 2009. I later went back and took about 15 credits of undergraduate math and statistics. In 2012 I graduated with a Master's of Public Affairs and Applied Statistics from the University of Texas at Austin.My Spanish upbringing has opened some doors to help Spanish learners. During my undergraduate years, I taught Spanish to pay for school. I would tutor students who wanted a down to earth explanation of a Spanish grammatical concept or who simply wanted to practice conversation. I later became an approved court interpreter in Utah and worked on a few arraignments and one trial.I currently work during for a research company writing statistical programs to analyze data. The way I put it is: "I run regressions for a living." I like statistics and I like intuitive interpretations of economic and statistical concepts. I have tutored high school and college students taking their probability, hypothesis testing, regression, and econometric classes. At UT Austin, I took more than 18 credits of graduate statistics and RA'd for an economist there.I love helping people understand concepts. I feed of the faces of students when they get it.
I have been a professional Civil Engineer for about 20 years. I chose engineering for a career because I enjoy math and science and solving problems. Math was hard for me when I was young, so I think I have an ability to empathize with students who struggle and to find a way to explain concepts so each individual can understand. I love seeing the light come on in a student's eyes when they finally understand a concept they've struggled with.I have lots of tutoring experience, beginning with working as a teaching assistant for several semesters in college. I also spent a year working in a free inner-city tutoring lab. I have taught professional development courses as part of my engineering job and I have taught three semesters at Drexel University as an adjunct professor.I use math and science every day at work, so I can help students with most STEM classes. I also have to write a lot as part of my job and have a reputation as a good editor of reports and papers. I am also fluent in Spanish, having lived in a Spanish-speaking country and having close family members whose first language is Spanish. I have helped my son and the children of many of my friends with their school work for years and have also helped people (kids and adults) who want to learn English.
A teaching philosophy is extremely weighted towards and directly correlates with my personality and what I believe to be best in my classroom settings. As a teacher I want to fill my students with creativity and the ability to decide for themselves and become their own agents. I hope that the children that I tutor will feel the need and responsibility to come together and make plans together as a partnership, obey those plans, and work hard to achieve goals.
Hi, my name is Linzie, and I want to help you! Having just graduated with my Bachelors Degree, I have recent and relevant experience that applies to your needs. I am passionate about offering personalized tutoring that goes at your pace and is tailored to your strengths. I have experience tutoring at all ages and levels, with a special emphasis in Spanish, English Language Learning, Phonetics, and Medical Terminology. I also am well-versed in the world of college admissions and applications--I'm currently applying to graduate school myself! Let's get started!
I'm a sophomore majoring in computer science and minoring in Spanish at Brigham Young University. I tutor Spanish at any level and I love it! I think Spanish is awesome and a blast to teach!
I love teaching and helping others. I've tutored since High School and my classmates, friends and students always tell me about how much I've made an impact in their lives. I believe everyone can improve and learn--that means YOU too! Ready?
I teach composition and rhetoric at a community college and BYU Idaho. Additionally, I'm a former high school English teacher and have an MFA in creative writing. I've had both poetry and short stories published, and I'm currently going through the publication process of my first novel.Although I specialize in creative writing and higher-level English courses, I have vast experience tutoring mid-level math and everything writing related. As father of a 7 year-old daughter and a 4 year-old son, I'm also passionate about working with younger kids. I speak Spanish fluently and taught it while an undergrad. My interests include music, video games, Netflix, and spending time with my family.
Link to LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brendan-smith-9a7a01112?trk=hp-identity-nameHello! I'm Brendan. I'm a sophomore at Brigham Young University studying sociology. I enjoy hiking, being with family, and all things music. I specialize in teaching Mandarin Chinese. I have been taking Chinese classes ever since I was 13, but what got me seriously interested in the language and the culture was when I lived in Taiwan for 2 years in a service capacity. During this time, I had the opportunity to serve in a number of cities in southern and western Taiwan and speak constantly with native Chinese-speakers. I gained a love for the language, the food, the culture, and the people there so I decided to continue my studies as I returned to the United States.Since being home, I have been taking advanced Chinese grammar and culture classes and loving it! During this past year, I have also had experience teaching new language learners Mandarin. They, like I had previously done, were going to serve in Chinese-speaking parts of the world. I helped them go through an intensive 9-week program aimed to help them learn the language and culture of the area they would be serving in, so they could be functional when they got to their areas of service. I found through this experience that every student has different needs and strengths and my job as a tutor isn't so much to lecture as it is to create an environment in which the student is willing to express questions or concerns and be desires to increase their skills. I believe that it's easiest to help a student when you have a shared vision and goal for what you can accomplish together and work hard to reach it. I help my students accomplish their goals by aiding them in discovering what methods best help them become passionate and proactive about learning and then practicing the implementation of those methods with them, so that when they don't need me anymore, they will be equipped with the tools they need to keep learning on their own.I appreciate your consideration! I hope to be able to help you achieve your learning goals.
Since graduating in elementary education in early 2021, I have worked as a 3rd grade teacher, a dyslexia interventionist, and a ELL teacher. I love to teach students and create safe environments for learning!
I am a current undergrad at Brigham Young University. I am majoring in Public Health and I plan to be a hospital administrator. I also of course have a passion for the Spanish language. I am minoring in Spanish currently and I am excited for the bilingual opportunities that the health care field offers. I fist discovered my interest for Spanish as an eighth grader. I won an award for foreign language at my school and I decided that maybe I should pursue learning more Spanish. I continued to study in high school and then I served an LDS mission in southern Spain. While there I did my best to take advantage of the learning opportunity. Spain has Spanish speakers from central and south america in addition to the native Spaniards. I learned to communicate with many people and perfect my Spanish one step at a time.I had to learn one step at a time and that is my tutoring philosophy. I know that a new language can not be learned overnight. Just like Math or Science it is a learning process that takes time and patience. I work with student to improve, grammar, vocabulary, comprehension, conversation, and whatever they stand in need of. I know how it is to struggle at learning a subject, and I also have experienced the satisfaction parents and students feel as understanding increases.
I am an Applied Physics Major with an Emphasis in Mechanical Engineering at Brigham Young University. I love to share the joy I have in the sciences and math to show truly the applications are so far-reaching.I have been tutoring since I was a junior in high school and was a Teaching Assistant in college for 3 years. I believe in aiding students in the learning process so they can feel better prepared for homework and tests, as well as grow in appreciation of the subject.On a mission trip, I lived in Mexico City for 6 weeks to study Spanish. For a year and a half after that time in Mexico, I taught in Spanish and studied it daily. I love to help others learn grammar and how to improve speaking this wonderful language!If you need any help learning math, physics, or Spanish, I would love to help you out!
Hi! My name is Michael. I can help you out with Mandarin Chinese, or with your English writing.I have a bachelors degree in Chinese from Brigham Young University and have been speaking Chinese since I was 19. From 2009-2011 I lived in Taiwan, and in 2013 I spent a semester studying in Nanjing.I am an excellent writer and have often been told by professors and potential employers that they are impressed by my English language skills. If you need help with writing (in English or Chinese), I'm your man!
I am a teacher that loves to teach grammar, vocabulary, writing, reading. ACT Prep. I love to travel and ride motorcycles. I am an avid reader.
I believe in helping the individual achieve their own potential, their own talent, their own success. As a tutor I aim to encourage the good habits that already are there to enhance any student's capability, as I am certain that everyone has gifts waiting to be uncovered.
Senior medical student and dad. I have tutored professionally since 2017. I plan to become an ophthalmologist (eyeball surgery stuff). I love helping students crush their MCAT or USMLE exams, especially students, like myself, who once believed they could not be skilled test-takers. I happily teach any student who could use a helpful and experienced hand with chemistry, physics, biology, etc.
I am a lover of children. I have worked with students from daycare, summer camps, and elementary schools. I graduated from Brigham Young University while I was teaching 3rd grade. I have worked with students in the classroom or in tutoring settings from 3rd grade up to 8th grade. I even take on the occasional collage student! I am most passionate about Math and Science but I also enjoy reading and exploring history. I can't wait to see how I can help you get excited about learning!
I received my English Teaching degree from Brigham Young University. I taught high school English classes for two years before starting a family and beginning work as a part-time tutor. I have tutored for several years in a variety of subjects, but my favorite subjects to tutor are writing and grammar. For the last three years I have tutored almost exclusively in college-level essay writing. I believe every student has the capacity to be a great writer. In each tutoring session, I teach concepts and principles of writing that students can apply immediately and for future writing assignments also. I also enjoy helping students prepare for college admission tests. I am a firm believer in education and the value of a college degree in shaping a person's future. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, baking, hiking, and tennis.
With a passion for learning, I have 4 years experience of Advanced Placement tests and tutoring, and 8 years experience general tutoring of all ages. I particularly enjoy English, History, and Science.I have six years of bilingual instruction experience, from preschool age to adults. I love tutoring English as a Second Language and Spanish language. I am currently completing my TESOL certification.As a tutor, I really work to understand each student's learning style and tailor instruction to their needs. I am looking for students who are self-motivated and willing to put forth the effort to learn. I strive to help students fall in love with learning as they improve in each subject!
Every student has the ability to learn, to overcome challenges, and to get excited over new discoveries. I believe as a tutor and a teacher that it is my job to guide a student to use their abilities, to conquer challenges, and to discover more than they did on their own. Every learner is different, and that's a good thing.
I love to learn: I am currently pursuing a Master’s in Public Administration with an emphasis in nonprofit management at Oakland University, and I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Brigham Young University. I chose an undergraduate major in English and minors in Editing and in Spanish. While at BYU, I was very involved with the Writing Fellows program which gave me the opportunity to be a specialized writing tutor for several years. I worked one-on-one with my fellow undergraduates to help improve them their writing in a variety of courses including humanities, religion, recreation management, and English. I also helped tutor new writing tutors as they came into the program through my position as a teaching assistant. I love to empower hesitant writers to come up with their own ideas and write using their own words. Helping students with reading comprehension and literature is also my favorite. When I am not reading, writing, and tutoring, you can find me outside hiking, practicing yoga, or navigating through whitewater rapids, most recently with my new husband.
I'm a native of San Diego and now reside in Utah. The French language has been an active, daily part of my life for 12 years. I started by living in Quebec, now work in an elementary French immersion program, and do volunteer conference interpreting. I am well versed in both Canadian and European French. This language brings immeasurable joy and fulfillment to my life, and I want to help others discover that same joy.
My tutoring style focuses on creating a positive writing experience for the writer. I ask a lot of questions both about the writer and the project they're working on, so my tutoring sessions often resemble conversations. As we discuss, I provide instruction about writing principles that the writer might benefit from knowing, drawing from various editing and writing resources in my editor-by-trade repertoire. I want writers to leave the tutoring session feeling confident about their paper and optimistic about writing in general. I want them to recognize their weaknesses and know how to improve them and ask for help. I want them to know that they don't have to suffer alone, that there are resources to help them revise individual papers, improve writing skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
I love helping people and I love education, which is why I love teaching!I believe everyone can learn if they truly want to. After all, everyone has potential. I also believe that we can do hard things if we put our minds to it. For example, I chose to study Spanish and became fluent in college, without having to go on a study abroad.If we use our resources, work hard, and do our best, everything will work out. I've seen this principle in action throughout my life. I have an AAS is Arts and Sciences, a BS in Home and Family Living with a minor in Spanish, and an MA in Hispanic Linguistics. Since I graduated in 2013, I also spent two years working for FamilySearch.org and two years as a middle school teacher. Believe me; it was hard, but it was absolutely worth the work to be able to tutor now!
Hello There! I'm Nathan and I tutor, which means I help you get so good at whatever you're learning that someday you won't even need me anymore! By focusing on study skills in addition to the topic at hand you will learn how to learn. I love math and chemistry and am enthusiastic about teaching the subjects to you. I grew up in Albuquerque NM and returned here to live after completing my bachelor's degree in chemistry. Outside of the classroom, I like playing music, game design, and taking my family to the park. I look forward to meeting you and making your tutoring experience a positive one.
I earned my degree at Brigham Young University, receiving a Bachelor of Arts in History. While I love history, I am also passionate about math, reading, and writing. I have had the opportunity to work with a number of age groups--from kindergarten to high school--tutoring math, reading, and writing. I believe that education is one of the most important gifts we can give to the children in our lives. It is important to me to help children gain a love of learning.
Learning is invigorating! Increasing our knowledge increases our understanding of the world and our satisfaction with life. We should take every opportunity to learn, be passionate about what we learn, and allow it to be fun and exciting.
I tutor Spanish at all levels. I studied Spanish and Portuguese at Brigham Young University. I have a BA in Spanish with a Portuguese minor. My Spanish evaluation upon graduation was "advanced high." This is one level below native. I do not have an foreign accent in Spanish or Portuguese (Brazilian). I taught at a language learning center working with 19 to 21 year olds. I have also taught Spanish as a long term substitute. I lived in the Dominican Republic for 2 years over two separate occasions. I have over 20 experience speaking Spanish. When teaching, I focus on helping students understand concepts that can be difficult grasp (i.e. subjunctive, pretreat vs. imperfect). The language is much easier to grasp when the student understands the "why" of a concept.I also studied law at Washburn University School of Law. I am a licensed attorney. Teaching Spanish is something that I really enjoy because I understand the process and it is rewarding to help people get over the conceptual humps along the way to fluency.
I tutor in math, physics, and test preparation. Math and Physics are some of my greatest passions, so I have absolutely loved my experience as a math tutor. I am invested in each of my students' success and work hard to help them succeed. Consequently, each of my past tutoring clients has seen significant improvement.I am a big believer in catering to students' learning styles. I pay attention to whether they are an audio, visual, or kinesthetic learner, and then I tutor accordingly.I am currently a junior at Brigham Young University. I am an Applied & Computational Mathematics major with a concentration in Electrical and Computer Engineering: Circuits. I have earned the high in many of my math and physics courses. In addition, I placed third in my university's undergraduate math competition while only a freshman.When I am not doing math or physics, I enjoy farming, inventing, origami, blogging, basketry, hiking, and building bagpipes.
I am excited to get to know you and help you in your academic pursuits! I received a Bachelor of Science from BYU in Management and recently finished my Master of Medical Science degree from University of North Texas Health Science Center. In July, I will begin medical school at the University of Texas - Houston. I have a great love for learning in a broad variety of topics. I also enjoy playing and watching a variety of sports, as well as traveling with my wife and daughter.
I've been teaching French in various settings for the past four years, and I'm currently getting my PhD in French Linguistics. I've taught and tutored all ages and all kinds of students, and I particularly enjoy teaching conversational French to people preparing to travel. I believe language learning is the most fun kind of learning, and I make sure that learning French is an enjoyable experience for my students. A lot of people are intimidated by the challenge of learning a new language, even though they already learned one when they were just a baby! I've seen time and again how when languages are taught properly, learning them goes from intimidating to exciting and fun. If you're feeling challenged by French, I can give you the guidance you need to make faster progress than you thought possible.
