Hi, my name is Sydney! I'm excited to help others succeed in economics. After majoring in Econ in college and taking multiple graduate-level courses, I've learned how to make complex concepts feel more tangible and real rather than abstract or inaccessible. I enjoy approaching topics from multiple perspectives to find what clicks, and I tailor my explanations to different learning styles. Topics include elasticity, revenue and profit maximization, calculating surplus, menu pricing, game theory, and more!

I primarily tutor students preparing for the Reading and Writing portion of the SAT, but I also have a background and experience in biology, law, technology, and creative writing. I got my bachelor's degree from Duke University and I have a JD from Boston College. I chose to focus on the SAT as I know how stressful standardized tests can be, especially as they're a factor in the high-stakes world of college admissions. Regardless of the subject, I adjust my tutoring approach to a student's individual personality and needs - just because a test may be standardized does not mean I use a "one-size-fits-all" approach to helping students! Outside of academia, I enjoy travel (I've been to 34 states and seven countries), fitness, cooking, gaming, EDM, and watching sports.

I recently graduated from Duke University with a degree in biomedical engineering. I really enjoy math and science and I am eager to help other students in related subjects. In my free time, I like to run, play basketball, spend time at the shore, and cook.While I was a student at Duke, I worked as a student manager for the Women's Basketball team. I also completed a couple years of research in the Human Movement Performance Lab where I analyzed patient's walking patterns both pre- and post- total ankle replacement surgery.

I am a rising freshman at Duke University, where I will be majoring in Economics and Public Policy. I have extensive tutoring experience through opportunities such as Kumon, local educational summer camps, and serving with my school's National Honor Society (NHS) club. I am most passionate about helping students through classes English, Literature, and History, especially Advanced Placement (AP) courses. As a recent high school student, I hope to use my relevant experiences to help students prepare for the Reading and Writing portions of Standardized Tests (SAT, PSAT), as well as to tackle the college admissions essay. I am a firm proponent of the value of education, and believe it to be crucial in allowing for a brighter and better future.

I am a graduate of Emory University, where I was an Emory Faculty Scholar and academics tutor who double-majored in Economics and Psychology, and am also a current MBA graduate student at Duke University (on academic scholarship). I have several years experience tutoring across a variety of subjects and also 6+ years of experience as a recruiter (and 2+ years as Director of Recruitment). I also provide freelance career coaching and resume services when I am not tutoring or immersing myself in learning. Ultimately, I am passionate about helping my students find sustainable ways to learn from, succeed in, and get the most from their classes....even the ones that are most frustrating and that challenge them the most. Let's work together to achieve your/your child's academic goals and have some fun in the process! (Learning and fun should go hand in hand, after all).Specialty areas include: Math (Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1 &2, Statistics), Introductory Economics (Micro, Macro), GMAT (Verbal, Quant, Writing), SAT Verbal/Writing, Writing, English (all grade Levels up to AP/College), Reading Comprehension Psychology, Networking, Study Skills & Organization, Business

I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.

As a dedicated tutor, I bring a wealth of academic achievements and 3+ years of experience to the table. With scores of 36 on the ACT and 1550 on the SAT, coupled with my rigorous education at Duke University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science in Evolutionary Anthropology and Global Health with a minor in Chemistry, I understand the intricacies of standardized testing and higher education. My academic journey culminated in scoring in the 98th percentile on the MCAT and securing acceptance to over 7 medical schools, including the Emory University School of Medicine, where I currently pursue my M.D. These experiences equip me with the knowledge and insights to guide students toward their academic goals with confidence and success.

I am a writer and educator who is passionate about student learning. I have been a writing tutor at Duke's prestigious Thompson Writing Program where I assisted a wide variety of writing in the sciences and the humanities. I also created and led a summer workshop for public high school students to assist them in writing their college essay applications.

I love to help students realize their potential. I believe all children and teenagers can perform well in school if given proper support and encouragement from caring adults. Learning should be enjoyable, and not be made to seem like a chore. I incorporate fun and games into my tutoring activities whenever possible.I received excellent grades on all papers written at Duke University (master's degree) and Emory & Henry College (B.A.), and I can help high school and college students learn to write better papers. I am proficient at US History and can help an AP US History student towards a 4 or 5 on his or her exam. My concentration for both of my post-high school degrees was religion, and I would love to tutor students who are taking religion courses. My favorite hobby is reading, and I believe it is important to instill an enjoyment of reading in students as early as possible. I can help young people who need extra support to become better readers.I am reliable, easy to get along with, and I love kids! I work with children and teenagers in my primary job, and I am comfortable around kids of all ages. I have two daughters of my own so I know what it is like for parents to want the best for their children. I do what it takes to tutor students to better grades, confidence in a subject, and a sense of self-reliance.

Hello! My name is Julie and I graduated from Duke University with a double major in Neuroscience and French and a minor and Chemistry. I also took the MCAT this past spring and scored a 522. My subscore breakdowns were (131/131/129/131).I teach all sciences (biology, chemistry, anatomy, etc.), French, and MCAT prep. For French, I have been studying for 10 years and am completely fluent.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy running, yoga, and spending time with my friends. I am a Marshall Scholar and will begin graduate studies at the University of Cambridge in the fall.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy with a minor in Education from Duke University and my Elementary Teaching Certification from Johns Hopkins University. My academic interests lie in education policy and educational psychology, the intersection of how we learn and how the systems around us shape that learning. I nurtured my passion for classroom teaching while teaching fourth grade in Baltimore from 2020 to 2022, first virtually during the height of the pandemic and then in person. My students were curious, hilarious, and resilient, and they taught me that learning works best when it feels meaningful and joyful. Before teaching, I tutored in high school and college, worked in Duke's Identity and Diversity Lab studying how children make meaning of human differences, and worked as a full-time nanny, caring for twin infant boys. I enjoy tutoring many subjects, most notably English, Social Studies, and History. I love helping students see the patterns that connect the past to the present, and gain confidence putting their own ideas into words. My approach is structured but flexible: I set clear goals, then create space for curiosity, creativity, and discovery. Outside of tutoring, I love exploring new restaurants, reading fiction, and traveling to visit my family and friends.

I have taught high school mathematics for the past 7 years and have loved every minute of it. Throughout those seven years I earned my second Masters in Math Education and began pursuing my PhD in the field. I have had the pleasure of being nominated as a honor teacher five times by the top ten students during various years. I am a teacher leader in my community and I enjoy sharing the wealth of knowledge.
