I love helping students find how to use their interests and passions to succeed in areas that challenge them. I have experience working with students from elementary age to college age, in a variety of subjects. I love to write, read, and learn about history and cultures - so if those are areas you struggle with, or want someone to geek over them with you, I'm here to help :)When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy hiking, exploring new places (like New Mexico - where I recently moved!), and watching the new hot thing on Netflix!

I believe that a successful tutor has three key characteristics: 1) teaching/tutoring experience; 2) a passion for and mastery of the subject matter; and 3) empathy for the different kinds of challenges that students face both inside and outside the classroom.First, having actual teaching experience (as well as tutoring experience) exposes one to a wide variety of students and learning styles, which I believe are crucial to adapting to different students and their academic needs. In my case, this has included three years of teaching Chemistry I, Advanced Placement Chemistry, and Physical Science in the public-school system (North Carolina and Georgia). Moreover, I have been a certified tutor for Sylvan Learning Center for almost a decade in all levels of Math, Science, Reading Comprehension, and Writing Skillsincluding Elementary, Intermediate, and Advancedspanning all age groups. In addition to these topics, I have tutored students in standardized test preparation including all sections of the SAT, ACT and the GRE.Helping students achieve is, for me, rooted in my love of the subject matter, an enthusiasm I hope to transmit to all of my students. I was a scholar-athlete in high school and continued on to a liberal arts education at Davidson College in Davidson, North Carolina. While there, I majored in Chemistry and swam competitively. My background also includes research in Synthetic Organic Chemistry during a semester abroad at Queen's University in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Currently, I am finishing my graduate degree from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte in Applied Physiology and Neuromechanics, and enjoy the computational and theoretical challenges that my degree entails as it involves fundamental understanding of bioinformatics, genomics and biostatistics. At every step of the way, I have found new things I love about science, and continue to feel the thrill of learning as the different fields continue to change and evolve.Finally, a successful tutor has the ability to empathize and understand the different challenges that specific students might face, whether they are academic (learning to focus, tackling particularly difficult topics, managing their time), or personal, which can often infringe on one's ability to complete their academic work. I love helping students come up with strategies to maximize their potential and help them to overcome these obstacles and/or meet these challenges. Nothing provides the fuel for enthusiasm like seeing a student understand something for the first time or have an 'a-ha!' moment. I believe that a tutor sensitive to a students specific needs can help every student find the joy in any subject, as well as the best way to tackle it given the students strengths and weaknesses.

I completed the undergraduate liberal arts curriculum at Davidson College and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. Following graduation I completed four years of work at Children’s Hospital Boston in the Hematology and Oncology Department as a Research Technician investigating genetic disorders of iron metabolism in a mouse model system.After my time at Children’s Hospital, I enrolled in a graduate program at Boston University. After six years, I received my PhD in Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry. My PhD research focused on developing a novel methodology for fluorescently detecting unmodified RNAs in living E. coli cells.Concurrently, I was engaged as a Teaching Fellow for courses in Microbiology, Physiology, Molecular Biology, Cellular Biology and Biochemistry. As a Teaching Fellow I instructed and tutored engineering students who easily absorbed Mathematics, but struggled with the life sciences. Working with these students was challenging, but success in motivating and helping them overcome learning barriers to succeed academically was my favorite part of the job and personally very gratifying. I now believe that teaching students how to push through any intellectual roadblocks and overcome learning difficulties can be more important than teaching the subject matter alone. When I am not in the classroom or lab, I spend my time playing water polo or life guarding, surfing and fishing the beaches of Nantucket.

I am a current senior at Davidson College, working towards my B.A. in German Studies and Arab Studies. I have spent many hours tutoring the German and Arabic language to college students. I have spent time abroad in Germany, studying German as a second language with AATG (American Association of Teachers of German). My years of being a camp counselor and babysitter have translated into my teaching methods and style. I encourage young learners to approach problems in multiple ways by retesting previously learned material and encouraging independent thinking. I am a huge believer in discovering answers instead of being told them. I look forward to working with you!

I have an undergraduate degree from Davidson College in North Carolina. I recently graduated law school and sat for the Texas Bar Examination. In addition, I have worked as a teacher in the Houston Independent School District (HISD) and for the Children's Defense Fund's Freedom Schools. I have experience working with students of all ages. I believe in the value of education, but also recognize the unique difficulties and pressures that today's students face. I strive to combat these difficulties with a youthful and energetic approach to tutoring, aiming to make subject matters come alive. My goal is to make study material approachable and fun while maintaining a level of focus and discipline that leads to positive results, including better habits and higher grades. In my spare time, I enjoy playing and watching my favorite sports.

I am a knowledgeable, passionate, and compassionate tutor. My teaching experience ranges from high school instruction, private tutoring, coaching, preaching, and leading high school youth groups. I have tutored and/or taught in algebra 1, geometry, American literature, world literature, middle school math, middle school science, middle school English/reading, American history, world history, essay composition, SAT prep, SSAT/ISEE prep, SHSAT prep, and GRE prep. I always try to discern what the individual needs and learning styles of my students are and then try to meet them where they are. I believe that there is a great student inside everyone, and it takes the right approach to make that great student manifest.

I am a graduate of Davidson College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies with a focus on English. Since graduation, I have entered into the classroom teaching 7th and 8th grade English Language Arts and 12th Grade College and Career Counseling. I earned my Masters of Arts in Teaching. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students prepare to close the gap that the pandemic highlighted, we always seem to have the most fun learning to write and comprehend through creative writing. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary 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, working out, and mentoring youth in the inner city.

I'm a graduate of Davidson College with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and UVA with a Master of Data Science. My experience in tutoring ranges from helping my sisters and their friends in Trigonometry and Pre-Calc in high schools to working as a TA for CS Discrete Structures and Data Science Systems; I enjoy teaching a wide variety of Math and Computer Science subjects. I am particularly passionate about the language of SQL: not only it is a vital skill for the field of database management, it is extremely fun to learn! I believe that teaching is just as much about how to learn as what to learn, and hope to impart those methods for learning in my tutelage.

I received my BA in Theater from Davidson College and an MA in Education from Wake Forest University. Over the past several years, I have tutored a variety of students in English, math and organizational skills. One of my favorite subjects is geometry. It fosters essential skills like working with numbers and spatial tasks, which apply to just about any profession. As an educator, I pride myself on patience. Students often come to me with questions they didn't get to ask during class. I want to fill in those gaps and help people achieve their academic goals. I adore dogs, love promoting local arts and crafts, and enjoy performing Shakespeare!

I live in Madison, New Jersey, and I work in a veterinary clinic in Secaucus, New Jersey. I tutored primarily during the four years I attended Davidson College, an elite four star, four year, private liberal arts college in Davidson, North Carolina, where some of my pupils were local high school students who sought help in French and French history.My primary areas of expertise in tutoring are in French, Genetics, ACT, SAT, GRE, Spanish, German, and Dutch. I took Genetics at Columbia University, NYC, and I have lived for over four years in the countries where these languages are natively spoken.I am well versed in tutoring for the SAT and ACT because I graduated high school with a GPA of over 4.0 and was ranked in the top ten of my class in Madison High School, which in turn was ranked in the top ten high schools in the state. My SAT scores are listed at the top of the page. I speak 5 languages English, French, Spanish, German, and Dutch. French is clearly the next subject that I have comparable experience and background in. I received a 5 on the French AP exam, a 790 out of 800 on the French SAT II subject test, and in 1998 I scored first in the Mid-Atlantic region and third in the nation in the national exam conducted by the American Association of Teachers of French. I was then invited to France for an all expense paid two week vacation where I attended two World Cup games and was one the guests of the President of France at the time, M. Jacques Chirac, at a garden party in the presidential palace in Paris. I also wrote a 32-page French thesis in the last course of my French Major at Davidson College, NC. which summarized the influence of French literary views over North African novelists, especially Tahar Ben Jelloun in the post-French-colonization era in the 1920's.As for my expertise in Genetics, SAT, GRE, and Biology, I have a BS in Animal Science from the College of Biological and Environmental Science at Rutgers University, and I received a B in Genetics at Columbia University in the labs where the field of genetics was born with the study of Drosophila flies. My proficiency in tutoring in Biology is also exemplified by a 640 in the Biology SAT II Subject test. The two semesters during which I attended an American professional veterinary school in Oklahoma taught me a lot about stress in academia.My success in Spanish stems from the translating that I perform between Hispanic clients and staff members at the veterinary clinics I work at. I then completed my Spanish studies when I traveled between cities in Chile, South America working in an animal humane hospital and eventually getting accepted into the national veterinary school in Valdivia, Chile, L'Universidad Austral de Chile. I also received the German National Heritage Award combined with a partial scholarship to college, which was awarded to only one high school senior a year.

Hello! I'm Ryan, and I'm dedicated to empowering you and your words as much as possible. I even got an English degree from Davidson College to back it up. I've also worked as a College Advisor, so I have experience filling out hundreds of FAFSAs and college applications, editing quite a bit of last-minute essays, and assisting students in the best strategies for the ACT/SAT. I hope to help you present and uncover all your truths!

I work as a second shift teacher at a middle school in Brooklyn. I am a recent graduate of Davidson College, which was recently named by Forbes as the best college in the South. I received a BA in English with a Concentration in Education and subsequently moved to New York City . While in school I spent a semester shadowing a local high school teacher and aiding students in a one-on-one environment with a variety of tasks within their English curriculum. As English was my major, it is certainly my passion, but I also love a variety of other subjects, especially math and standardized testing. As a teacher during the week I understand the importance of making conceptual connections as a student rather than memorizing facts and strategies.

I am a very passionate teacher who has worked in public and private school settings at both the high school and college level. I have an undergraduate mathematics degree, and taught AP Calculus at a North Carolina high school. I also have a PhD in philosophy, and have taught at major research universities in Missouri and Ohio. I am personally invested in my students' success, and take pride in being clear, conscientious, and accessible.

As a passionate biologist with a PhD in Developmental Biology from Stanford University, I bring a unique blend of academic expertise and a hands-on teaching approach to my tutoring sessions. With experience in guiding students through complex concepts in AP Biology, Cell Biology, and Genetics, I focus on tailoring each lesson to meet individual learning goals. My methodology emphasizes interactive problem-solving and real-world applications, fostering a supportive environment where students can thrive. I believe in making learning engaging by incorporating memory devices and fun facts that spark curiosity. I'm excited to inspire the next generation of scientists and help students unlock their potential in biology.

Hi there!I am so excited to get to know you and help you along on your journey towards success.I recently graduated from Davidson College, a small liberal arts school in the heart of nowhere, North Carolina. I majored in history (with a focus on gender) and fell in love with it. To learn about how current social, political, economic, gender, etc. issues developed over time is fascinating. It has now become my passion to teach history in a way that is engaging and presents historical figures as real people that interact just like we do. It is most important to me, when it comes to history, to democratize its study -- you CAN understand it! It just needs to be in words more accessible to you.In terms of writing and essay help, I did weekly writing sessions with freshmen at my college to help them improve their papers. We would most ofter go over clarity, word choice, grammar, etc. I believe it's important to represent yourself how you want to be represented, and taking the time to learn to write in your own voice is very freeing and makes the writing process less arduous. I promise :)My philosophy around education is that if you are visibly putting in the effort, I am proud of you. Especially in these very hard times, I am proud of you for pushing through and seeking tutoring help. Education is important and learning is fun! I will try my hardest to make our sessions personable and not like you're just in school for another hour. I recently graduated from college and know exactly what school feels like, especially when you can't see people in person and your entire life seems to be consumed by screens.In my spare time, I let my brain rest. I strongly believe that taking care of yourself and checking in with your mind and body is the only way to keep your head on straight. I take walks and listen to podcasts, I love music (I write essays with intense soundtracks flooding my ears so that I can feel like I'm doing something world-saving), and I love YA fantasy novels :)

I graduated from Davidson College in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I earned my masters in 2009 from Wake Forest University in Business Administration and Management. My goal here is to help anyone who genuinely wants to learn and prepare themselves for success in education and in life. I enjoy golf and travel.

I have entered the PA profession as a second career. I was a teacher before transitioning into medicine and find tutoring a great way to tie both of my careers together! I graduated from Duke University PA school and passed my PANCE following a 2.5 week study plan and a few excellent resources. I am now heading into an Acute Care Fellowship.I would love to share my knowledge and study tips to help you feel confident going into the biggest test of your career. I know it can be incredibly stressful and so I am here to help solidify your learning and boost your confidence.

Though originally from South Texas, I recently relocated to Austin to pursue a Ph.D. in English. My areas of specialization are Medieval and Renaissance British literature. Prior to this, I received a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Texas State University-San Marcos and, while pursuing my M.F.A., lived in San Antonio. As I continue my graduate studies and teach colege-level courses, I am excited to share my love of the written word with students who want to grow as writers and readers. While the majority of my tutoring and teaching experience has taken place within a college writing center or classroom setting, I would be well-suited to work with college-bound high school students preparing for AP English exams and college application essays. I also have extensive experience working with students who have developmental and remedial educational needs and, additionally, have experience tutoring students for whom English is a second language. Where literature is concerned, aside from being well-versed in early British literature, I also have abiding interests in African-American literature, Mexican-American literature, Native-American literature, and poetry in particular across time. My undergraduate and master's degrees required me to read far and wide within the American and British literary traditions, however, and I have had great success working with students who struggle with literary analysis.I believe that everyone is capable of critical thought and creative expression regardless of her or his educational background or learning level. Everyone has a voice that deserves to be heard and a story that deserves to be told. As a tutor, my primary goal is to uncover and foster these things in my students because I believe that you cannot use the voice that’s uniquely yours until you first believe that you have one. And while I will put on my teacher hat when the occasion calls for it, I am first and foremost a tireless cheerleader and a relentless believer in my students. I strive to empower my students by cultivating their self-confidence and encouraging them to take intellectual and creative risks, all of which are qualities that extend far beyond the confines of an English class.Because I am a writer—specifically, a poet—many of my interests and hobbies revolve around language and literature. I am an avid reader of everything from Greco-Roman mythology to Contemporary American Poetry to Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter. Other interests include foreign languages in general and the Spanish language in particular, the American Southwest, classical music and music in general (I sing and play the clarinet, oboe, recorder, and ocarina), the visual arts, Star Wars and Star Trek, and the Middle Ages. I love being outdoors and am an avid hiker and backpacker. I also love to travel and have wandered across the United States, Mexico, Peru, India, and England. I hope to return to India one day and dream of going to Thailand and Tibet. My work schedule keeps me fairly busy and my cats Linus and Fergus keep me perpetually on my toes, but in my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga, discovering the next best place to eat that nobody has ever heard of, combing through the shelves at Halfprice Books, and exploring the city of Austin.

I am a graduate of Davidson College and Columbia University. My BA is in English, supplemented with studies in art history and Russian language. I studied abroad in Australia my junior year, where I studied literature and studio art. At Columbia, I earned my Master's in Fine Art in creative writing, with a focus on nonfiction. I have taught in the Columbia Summer High School Program and other Columbia programs, helping students of all abilities with all genres of creative writing, and with reading comprehension. These have been relatively small classes, where I have had the opportunity to get to know my students and provide advice and guidance based on my own academic career. I love helping students in all aspects of college prep, from SAT prep to time management to managing personal anxiety. I also tutor in English literature and GRE test prep. I believe that education should not only prepare one for the job market, but enrich one as a person, providing a wider and deeper worldview. I believe in not only teaching the mechanics of a subject but in helping a student understand the reasons behind those mechanics, to truly think about the material. This results not just in rote memory of facts but in more sophisticated critical thinking and the ability to generate new ideas, two skills that will serve a student for a lifetime, academically, professionally, and personally.I love to read: reading has been very important to me since I was a kid, and I enjoy helping others appreciate the pleasures of a good book. I balance this with physical activities, including yoga, weight lifting, and running. I play roller derby with New York's Bad Apples, and am so fortunate to be a member of that supportive community of women. I am also writing a memoir about my family, forthcoming from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt in 2017.

I believe that students excel when they learn in a supportive, encouraging environment. As a tutor, I strive to create a stress-free space for students to learn and thrive.In 2011, I graduated magna cum laude from Davidson College with a degree in English and was elected to Phi Beta Kappa. I also have a Master of Divinity degree from Columbia Theological Seminary, where I won numerous awards, including the prize for highest academic distinction.I have experience teaching ancient Greek, ESL, ELA, and religion, and am able to tutor in a variety of other subjects. If you are interested in growing as a learner, I would love to work with you!

Hey! My name is Ramsey, and I'm excited to tutor various subjects, from SAT/ACT prep to high school and college-level STEM courses. I have a strong background in educating high school and university-level students, and I pride myself on catering to students' diverse learning styles! As a student with late-diagnosed ADHD, it is my mission to create engaging lessons and inspire students to become advocates in their learning.

I graduated from Davidson College in North Carolina with a BA in Community Development based on my involvement in Community Service. Since then, I lived and taught Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle, and High School students in Thailand and Taiwan, and ESL and GED adult students here in the United States. I have worked with students from over 70 different countries in the world, of all ages, and all levels. I believe that learning should be fun and interactive. Everyone learns differently and I think my job as a tutor and teacher is to discover how an individual learns best and build on their strengths.Outside of teaching, I love to read, spend time at the beach, and play silly games with my 4 year old daughter.

I learned Spanish while living as an exchange student in Ecuador the year before I went to college (1989-1990). I became fluent during that time. I worked as an Assistant Teacher to the Spanish Department while studying at Davidson College and enjoyed getting to know the students & expanding their understanding of the Spanish language & the Latin American culture. I had the privilege of studying in Spain during my Junior year, which deepened my appreciation for the roots of the language. I worked as a Spanish/English interpreter for the Orange County courts as my Summer job during those years. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share what I learned.

I enjoy learning as much as I enjoy teaching! As a youngster I loved asking questions and spending time with books. I graduated from Davidson College in 2009 with a degree in English and Spanish Literature. After college I spend five years teaching in Oakland, California where I also earned my Masters in Teaching and Education.I enjoy teaching K-12 reading and writing skills as well as elementary through middle school mathematics. I am a Spanish speaker and enjoy helping others practice their skills. If you are interested in talking sports, The Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers are my teams!As a tutor, I will work with students to identify their strengths areas of growth. We will work together to master mathematics and language arts skills in a relevant and enjoyable context. I look forward to working with families in helping young learners realize their potential.

Hi everyone! My name is Alex Baggott-Rowe and I'm excited to be your next tutor. I live in Cincinnati OH with my wife and our two dogs including a the month old puppy! I love to cook, play board games, read, and watch TV/Movies, especially Marvel and Harry Potter.

I have been tutoring since 2018. I was a math instructor for five years at a math learning center. There I worked with students in grades 1 through college. I particularly love teaching elementary and middle school math as well as Algebra! I am comfortable working with students of all ages and all abilities. In addition to tutoring math, I was a Spanish AT for introductory Spanish courses and also conversational ones. I also volunteered at the local public elementary school weekly to teach Spanish to second graders. The summer between my junior and senior year, I was fortunate enough to intern in Spain and teach English at a bilingual school. I believe every student learns differently, and I am always happy to adapt my teaching methods to best meet each student's individual needs. These methods range include diagrams, drawings, and the socratic method.

Hi,I'm super excited to start working with you! Let me share a bit about my journey. When I was preparing for the ACT and applying to various programs, I didn't have a lot of resources. It was challenging, but I managed to score in the 99th percentile on the ACT, which opened up incredible opportunities for me. One of the highlights of my college career was interning at the White House, an experience that taught me the value of hard work and perseverance. Now, I'm gearing up for an exciting academic future: I'll be pursuing a Master's Degree at the University of Oxford and a law degree at Berkeley Law. These experiences have given me a wealth of knowledge and skills that I'm eager to share with you. I know firsthand how tough it can be to navigate the world of standardized tests and college applications, especially if you don't have many resources. That's why I'm passionate about helping students like you develop their writing skills and find their unique voice. Whether you're tackling the ACT Reading and English sections, working on your college essays, or studying for the SAT, I'm here to guide you every step of the way. I believe that every student has a story worth telling, and I'm committed to helping you tell yours in the most compelling way possible. My approach to tutoring is personalized and supportive. I take the time to understand your strengths and areas for improvement, and together, we'll create a strategy that works for you. When I'm not tutoring, you can find me reading, hiking, or enjoying a good cup of coffee. I love learning and am always looking for ways to grow and help others grow too. So, if you're looking for someone to help you boost your standardized test scores, improve your writing, or navigate the college application process, I think we'll make a great team. Let's work together to achieve your goals and make your applications shine!

Education is more than my professionit's my mission. I'm passionate about helping students unlock their potential and rediscover confidence in their learning. From early readers to high school scholars, I believe every student has the capacity to excel when given individualized attention, clear study tools, and genuine encouragement. Over the past five years, I've taught and tutored students across public, charter, and private school settings as well as virtually. My experience spans ages 7 through 18 and includes English Language Arts, Writing, Reading Comprehension, History, and Elementary through Pre-Algebra Math. I also have extensive experience supporting students with diverse learning needs, including ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Down Syndrome. I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Africana Studies with a minor in Arab Studies from Davidson College, and I am formally trained in Study Technology through Applied Scholasticsan educational methodology focused on helping students master concepts, improve comprehension, and build independent study skills. My teaching philosophy centers on connection, clarity, and creativity. I tailor each session to the student's learning style, set measurable goals, and create a supportive environment where students feel safe to make mistakes, ask questions, and experience genuine progress. Whether helping a child gain confidence in reading or guiding a high schooler toward higher-level writing skills, I focus on real understandingnot rote memorization. Outside of teaching, I enjoy writing, exploring world cultures, creating educational content, and inspiring others to approach learning with curiosity and purpose. My goal in every session is to help students not only succeed academically but also develop lifelong confidence in their ability to learn, think, and create.
