I have always tutored my siblings and my friends, but in 2012 I began tutoring professionally. My teaching style includes using lots of visual aids to make the concept easier to grasp and ensures that all my students understand the concept instead of memorizing the subject. My expertise lies in teaching math and biology. I am currently in my third-year of dental school and will graduate as a dentist in 2017. My undergraduate degree focused on human biology.

Hello,I am a graduate student at Columbia University who has a lot of experience in one-on-one tutoring as well as in-classroom teaching, specifically in the areas of math and physics. I am confident that each and every student has the ability to learn, and it is my job as a tutor to identify the most effective teaching techniques for each student. Please, read briefly through my profile and hopefully you will find that I am a great fit for you or your child.Thank you,Warren

I graduated cum laude with a BA in History and Literature of England from Harvard and spent my junior year at the University of Bristol in England, where I was lucky to add Irish History and Practical Theatre classes to my schedule. I hold an MFA in Acting from UCSD and am an Associate of The London Film School. For much of my adult life, I have been a professional actor dividing time between classical work, new plays, and investigative theater. I have taught classes in acting, public speaking, Shakespeare, and Devised Theatre at UCSD, The Shakespeare Theatre of NJ and in diverse locations as a member of the NY based theater company, The Civilians. No matter what I'm working on with students --reading, writing, public speaking or study skills-- I hope to foster a love of learning and to encourage a curious and inquisitive approach to the world. I believe passionately that proficiency in the language arts empowers people to communicate with clarity and conviction in all aspects of their lives. Fanatical about good stories and good books, I love to read and see movies or plays or tune in to talk shows on NPR. I'm a foodie and an avid traveller and would probably always rather be on Cape Cod.

I'm a Structural Engineering graduate from UC San Diego with a passion for helping students in the math and science fields, as well as SAT/ACT test prep. I've had experience tutoring all subjects up to the high school level, and I strive to create a fun and rewarding environment for students. I've worked with a variety of age groups as a member of the Big Brothers Big Sisters program, and I find it easy to relate to all types of students. When I'm not studying or tutoring, I enjoy playing chess and basketball.

To start, I am a Korean-American originally from a small suburb near Los Angeles, California. My educational history includes a major in General Biology and minor in Psychology from the University of California, San Diego, as well as a Doctor of Physical Therapy Degree from Boston University. My educational interests include anatomy and physiology, kinesiology, neurobiology/psychology, algebra, and child and adolescent psychology. My personal interests vary from cooking to hiking to watching and playing just about every sport possible.I have had many years of tutoring experience in both a class and 1-on-1 setting. My longest experience involved tutoring a group of 10-12 7th and 8th grade students; which included but was not limited to completing schoolwork, preparing for STAR testing, and providing additional quizzes and questions when necessary. I have also had several years of part-time tutoring jobs for children in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th grade, with additional experience in 1-on-1 tutoring with 2 SAT students.My experience with teaching stems from not just an instructor's perspective, but also as a student; attending after school tutoring from the age of 13 to 17 years old. I believe this is one of the reasons I can connect to students so easily, because I understand the difficulties with learning. My tutoring sessions involve a very interactive approach on the part of the student with a reward based approach for their efforts. This is my way of promoting student interest in the topics of study, to prevent monotony and boredom with school work. I like to try to incorporate games into my tutoring sessions that may include topics they have learned; whether it's a memory card game, jeopardy, or a simple game of hangman.As your tutor, I will do my best to not only help your student excel at school, but also find fun in learning.

I'm a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacological Chemistry from UC San Diego and several years of experience helping students build confidence in math, science, and writing. I love creating a supportive, engaging environment where students feel encouraged to ask questions and think critically. My approach is patient, personalized, and focused on turning challenges into growth opportunities. I'm passionate about helping each student discover their strengths and reach their academic goals.

My name is Linda and I'm currently a fourth year medical student. I graduated from UCSD with B.S. degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and a minor in Visual Art. I'm very interested in math and science, as can seen with my educational background. Since I'm currently a student myself, I understand the frustration one can experience when faced with some academic challenges. I'm here to help and hopefully find a better way to overcome these challenges.

I am a 2014 graduate from The University of Arizona with a Ph.D. in Special Education with a focus on Deafness and a minor in Family Studies and Human Development. I graduated with a Master's degree in Deaf Education in 2004 from The University of Arizona and earned my Bachelor's degree from the University of California at San Diego and at The University of Toulouse Le Mirail in the south of France in 1998. I am a certified Teacher of the Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and have taught at a center school for the deaf and in the public school setting as a classroom teacher and as an itinerant teacher. I completed a doctoral student externship at The University of Kansas in 2012 and my research focus is on the development of self-determination for students who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. I have supervised graduate and undergraduate students at The University of Arizona and have tutored students in various subjects but really enjoy the Social Sciences and Linguistics areas. My tutoring philosophy evolved from my years of teaching experience. As I reflect on my beliefs regarding teaching and learning, I find that my mission as a tutor is threefold: to promote positive learning, to spark learner enthusiasm for learning, to provide a strong foundation for lifelong learning. I play the piano and the flute and am trying to master the harmonica. I am a long distance runner and love running. I am a big NFL fan and am forever a Pittsburgh Steelers fan!

I've been interested in teaching and tutoring since I was a teaching assistant in graduate school. While in grad school, I taught courses in statistics, political science, and history.My degree was in political science with a focus on statistical analysis, and I am now training to be a data scientist.For me it's a really fun challenge learning how a student sees a concept and how I can guide them to expand their understanding of it. Seeing a concept "click" with a student is one of the most rewarding feelings.

Throughout my own educational career, I have had my fair share of bad and good teachers and professors. As a university graduate now, I am truly appreciative of those who genuinely cared and took the time to share their knowledge with me and to create an environment for me to thrive and better reach my academic goals. Fortunately, I myself have also had the privilege of teaching and tutoring as well, and of passing on that same legacy of academic inspiration. After working with a variety of different students in different subjects, I realize that I love stirring enthusiasm in students and helping them understand invaluable concepts that will eventually lead them to their own paths of success. No one student is the same. My many experiences have shaped my teaching style and philosophy which can be outlined in three main aspects:1. pace and styleWhen presented with new material, the first step is processing and understanding it. Different students take in and digest new material in different ways and with different timing. Hence, I utilize a number of different teaching methods and select those that best fit a student's needs. For a visual learner, for instance, I would make sure to incorporate diagrams, pictures, and maps to best engage that student's learning potential. As for pace, some students can only take in so much information at one time and I would break down information in a way that is easiest for them to digest.2. mastery and dexterityPerhaps the most important skill any tutor and cultivate in a student is critical thinking. When a student finally comes to understand material, it is important that he or she is able to execute those concepts in different contexts and in different scenarios. When a student asks questions, I often times like to respond with questions myself that help them guide them to the correct deductions and conclusions themselves. This will also help ensure their ability to do well on their tests when they don't have a tutor around.3. vision and applicationA student's motivation to do well should be driven by the ability to see the application and relevance of the knowledge they are learning. Whether or not a subject seems to have any direct correlation with their future career, there are always key concepts that will either help them better function in society or at their future career. I love helping students find take-away concepts from subjects and application in their own lives.

First, a little background. I recently retired from the College of Education at Oregon State University where, for the last six years, I was a teacher educator helping to prepare prospective secondary math and science teachers. I held a similar position for eight years at the School of Education at UNC Chapel Hill. Before I moved to higher ed, I was a high school physics, math, and general science teacher in Seattle Public Schools for 15 years. So I've been teaching math and science content and pedagogy for almost 30 years. And before all of that I was an electronics test engineer in the Seattle area for 15 years. Over that time I earned a master's degree in physics from the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in education (physics), also from UW (my BA is in philosophy with a minor in math and physics from UC San Diego). Anyway, though I've retired, I'd like to keep on teaching, albeit on a more informal basis such a through tutoring. As you might imagine, I've worked with all kinds of students from kids with learning challenges to very gifted students. I subscribe to the "teach them to fish" educational philosophy by which I mean that my goal as a teacher has always been to help students learn both the "how" and "so what?" when solving problems in math and science so they will be able to do it for themselves in a variety of situations. For me, it's not enough that a student know how to solve a problem, I want them also to understand why both the content and/or procedure are important and worthy of learning. One of the biggest motivators for me as a teacher is getting students to the "aha!" moment. So, probably the most important lesson I've learned as a teacher and teacher educator is to listen carefully to what students say what students say is the best way for a teacher to really understand what students are thinking. The questions students ask as well as the answers they give are powerful tools to help teachers guide their learning. I've become a very good listener.

School takes up anywhere from 30-70% of a student's waking life, and there is no reason anyone should feel subpar or inadequate for that vast amount of time. I completed my undergraduate coursework at the University of California, San Diego, where I graduated cum laude with a major in Literature in English and a minor in General Biology, so whether you're an aspiring engineer struggling with poetry, or a future novelist grappling with coordinate geometry, I'm on your wavelength. In college I was a classroom volunteer tutor for the Preuss Charter School in San Diego, and I've been working for nearly two years now as a professional tutor, and have thorough experience with a range of subjects and standardized test formats. I also write pop culture articles on the side, and aspire to be a college professor of literature; consequently, I most enjoy teaching English and composition, and pride myself on being able to break down essay-writing to its most fundamental, obvious-as-peanuts basics. When I am not saving children from the abyss of school-related anxiety, I indulge in film photography, kung fu movies, and guitar.

As a communications leader and project manager with nearly 7 years of experience, I have developed company-wide communications strategies and led countless marketing campaigns.I am also a writer for Daily Progressive and the Voices of our Nation's Art collective. I have been published in Huffington Post and Daily Progressive. I run my own blog TengTied. As a writer for social justice, my ability to deeply empathize with and engage people of all communities allows me to explore intimately the stories of our collective struggles and reach broad audiences.

Hi! I'm Vinitha. I have a B.S. in Biology from UC San Diego and a PhD in Cognitive Neuroscience from UC Berkeley. I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential and recognize that students have diverse needs in the classroom. I am excited to help you achieve your academic goals!

I'm here to help! I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience, and a Masters in Finance and Economics. I teach IB, IGCSE, and Advanced Placement in Economics. IB and AP are the principle of economics foundational courses economics, business, or finance majors take at university.I have taught Spanish and am proficient in reading, writing, listening, and speaking Spanish. These are the four skills tested in high school courses in the US. I passed the proficiency exam at University and enjoy helping others with the grammar and conversational aspects of Spanish.In addition, I enjoy helping students develop their writing and study skills. I'm looking forward to meeting you and helping you succeed with your academic career!

I was born and raised in San Diego, California where I spent 7 years at UCSD to attain my bachelor's degree in physics with a specialization in earth science and master's degree in geophysics. After a year off, I moved to St Louis, Missouri to get my PhD in geophysics at Washington University in St Louis. I'm now living in Tempe, Arizona and looking to help some students with math and science. I'm one of those people who actually enjoys doing math and science, and I think it is very important for people to understand the concepts and ideas behind these subjects. Understanding math and science provide a different way of looking at the world and solving problems. I look forward to working with you and helping to prepare you for the future.

I believe that education is first and foremost about establishing relationships. I genuinely and deeply care about the students with whom I work, which creates a reciprocal relationship that I think is the foundation for establishing an education for students. The students I work with know I want the best for them, that everything I do for them is a gift for them because I care about them and want them to succeed.I got my education at the University of California, San Diego, where I majored in history and psychology. I stayed at UCSD for graduate school to earn a multiple subject teaching credential and a Master in Education. I have a supplementary authorization to teach social studies in all grades.My favorite subject is history because I find the truth to be so much more fascinating than fiction. But, I tutor in all subjects in elementary and middle school. I tutor in history and writing in high school.In my free time, I enjoy playing golf, ultimate frisbee, and racquetball. I especially enjoy traveling and have been to sixty countries.

I have been teaching and tutoring non-stop for the past three and a half years. I taught high school chemistry and general science, running labs, lessons, and anything else that was required. While doing that, I started teaching LSAT classes after work.Now, I'm a full time tutor, devoted to helping students score higher on tests and do better in classes. Because I've been a science teacher, I know how they think, why they do certain labs, and what they're likely to ask in tests. For LSAT, I've never worked with a student one-on-one and not raised his or her score.I love teaching, and would love to work with you!

As I have been tutoring math, literature, test preparation, and writing through out middle school, high school, and college, I have found tutoring to be very fulfilling and inspiring. No matter what the subject, each student requires a new, unique approach when tutoring. Whether they want to raise their test score or if they just are not getting the subject, above all, I understand a student's individual needs to best know how as a tutor, I can best help them reach their goals.I graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a bachelors degree in Literature and have lived in New York just over a year. My interests include art, writing, and technology; I especially love it when the three come together. I am an avid reader of canonical and "experimental" literature, so I love tutoring writing and english literature. I am also great at tutoring Algebra, and I have helped students prepare for the SAT.

I have always loved math and spreading that enjoyment! Being a well rounded student is crucial to both college admissions and being an active and aware citizen, so I enjoy helping others learn. I have taught precalculus to groups online via North South Foundation for the past 4 years and in person at Mathnasium for the past year. I am a current undergraduate, majoring in Bioengineering and minoring in Mathematics and Deaf Studies. I enjoy tutoring for SAT, ACT, AP exams (listed later), PSAT, and math competitions as I have a lot of experience in these.

I'll admit it: I love history. How much do I love it? Well, sure, I've been a History/English teacher for almost 20 years -- but I wasn't born that way! I grew up in California and my previous career was in both the music and film industries. This gives me the ability to teach while integrating pop culture, movies, TV, music (and maybe even humor?), making the subject matter a LOT more accessible, understandable and yes, in some cases, even enjoyable!I've been teaching all levels of history/social studies for over 20 years (middle and high school), as well as teaching AP-level US, World and European History, test prep, and I've even served as Department Chair for History at two schools. In addition to history I am also experienced in teaching Civics/Government, Economics, Human Geography and Psychology. If it's in the Social Sciences, I've taught it.My goal as a teacher/tutor is to show students that history isn't just made up of "dates" and "dead people," but actual STORIES that connect where we are today to where we came from. History CAN be fun and interesting -- if you learn it the right way!

I recently completed my graduate degree in English and Writing at the University of California San Diego. As an undergraduate I studied anthropology and Italian literature/language at Temple University. I moved back to Philly immediately after finishing my masters degree, and work part time for an independent non-profit publishing press in Old City, where I also administer creative writing workshops 1-2 times a month. I am a book worm! I think language is interesting and that studying it can give us unique insights to the ways people behave and interact.

I'm a teacher, a mother, an avid reader, a long distance runner, an actress, and crossword puzzle lover. I think creativity is the key to learning, so I promise to work with you to find the methods of learning that are going to help you the most.My mom was an English teacher and librarian, so I've got a great eye for editing grammar. I'm also a creative artist, so I can also help you with essays and research papers. I have been a public speaking coach for years, so I'm also a great resource if you've got a presentation to prepare.

I am a graduate of the University of California, San Diego. I chose to major in Sociology and became a Pre-dental student over time because I loved learning about the sciences. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects, including Chemistry, Biology, and Math. I have worked with students of all ages. My belief is that if the student understands the material presented, it is much easier to learn and incorporate. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports; mainly basketball. A healthy body leads to a healthy mind and a healthy mind can do powerful things.

I have always placed my focus on understanding the world around me in a straightforward, logical way. Thus, I have always excelled in mathematics and areas of science, of which the goal is to explain how the universe works. In addition to being a highly analytical individual, I am also very much in tune with my creative and artistic side, a combination which balances out both my world and interpersonal views. I take exceptional pride in my strong work ethic, pushing myself as close as possible to performance perfection. I believe wholeheartedly in being trustworthy and hardworking, determined to persevere regardless of workload, time constraints, or hardships. As such, my perspective is that while circumstances fluctuate, one's true character is reflected in one's ability to adapt and stay true to one's integrity. I aim to always reflect such character.

Education has always been a passion of mine. I love to learn about new things and expand my knowledge of various topics. Above that, I enjoying helping people even more. After receiving my Bachelor's in Science from UC San Diego in Biochemistry, I decided to pursue a profession in health care. I felt that by going into health care I can utilize my passion for biology to help others in need. I decided on Optometry and currently I am attending Marshall B. Ketchum University to obtain my Doctor of Optometry degree. I absolutely love where I am and want to help others achieve their dreams.

I hope to use my excellent academic achievements to help students excel in their study subjects.

With over 4 years of experience teaching elementary English and 5 years of teaching Math to students in grades 6 through 8, I am dedicated to helping students unlock their full academic potential. My student-centered approach focuses on building a strong foundation in both subjects by tailoring lessons to each learner's unique style. In English, I help students strengthen their reading comprehension, writing, grammar, and vocabulary while fostering a love for literature and creative expression. In Math, I specialize in pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry, breaking down complex concepts into manageable steps and using real-world examples to make the material engaging and applicable. I strive to create a supportive and encouraging environment where students feel confident asking questions and taking risks, aiming to not only improve their academic skills but also build their critical thinking, problem-solving, and self-confidence for long-term success.

Hi, I am a Ucsd physics major and have plenty of experience working with children between being a tutor and having worked in childcare. I love both learning and teaching so I am very excited for these tutoring opportunities! My philosophy has a lot to do with bringing the subject matter to life for the student and making sure they gain enthusiasm and confidence with the subject as they learn and work through the material. The specific needs for every student of course change because every one has unique learning capabilities and different ways of approaching and understanding the subject.

I am a dedicated educator with a love of learning. I have experience working with students from varying backgrounds and levels ranging from kindergarten to graduate school. I am known for my patience and understanding. My teaching method is to encourage students with hints and guidance guiding them to learn according to their own pace and abilities. I have an undergraduate degree in chemistry from Harvard University and a PhD in organic chemistry from UC San Diego, where I studied natural products synthesis. In addition to my academic credentials, I have many years of real world experience working in the biotechnology sector.

Learning has relevance as real-world experience. I am a University of California (UC) professor with a doctor's degree in English-and-American Literature. I have received several forms of academic recognition and am a member of several academic honors societies:Cambridge Who's Who: 2007-Present: Lifetime MemberPhi Lambda Theta: August 19, 2002Phi Kappa Phi: April 26, 2002Who's Who: 1989-1990Dean's List at California State University: Dominguez Hills: June 15, 1980Bachelor of Art's Degree with Distinction: California State University: Dominguez Hills: June 15, 1978Associate of Arts Degree with Distinction: El Camino College: June 15, 1976Alpha Gama Sigma Award: El Camino College: June 15, 1976I am also a member of the alumni associations of both the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). For many years, I have primarily taught English, Literature, and Composition, while also teaching courses in Philosophy, Science, Art, History, American History, American Government, US Constitution, Economics, etc. I also have backgrounds in research and in the health field. Further, I have also been a Referee and Reader for UCLA's American Indian Studies Center, providing insights as to whether a document should be published.I am familiar with both the Modern Language Association (MLA) standards and the American Psychology Association (APA) standards in writing, including in citations and references. I have over twenty years of experience reading, marking, correcting, and grading papers at the following levels: UC schools, state university, community college, and K-12, both in regular education and in special education.I have taught students and have graded papers in UC schools for over six years, in state university for two years, in community colleges for five years, and in K-12 for seven years. All the above is concurrent with practicing private tutoring in writing in many areas, but primarily in English, Composition, and Literature. I am credentialed in teaching in special education, both as a generalist and as an autism specialist. Finally, I also have many years of experience teaching in both English as a Second Language (ESL) courses and Sheltered courses.

I'm in my 2nd year of medical school at the University of Central Florida. I previously graduated Cum Laude from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in Human Biology and Education Studies. I was an Academic Mentor for underprivileged San Diego communities. I was also a Teaching Assistant for the Biology department at UCSD. I have taught in a variety of settings; from one-on-one tutoring to review sessions for 300 people in a lecture hall. I primarily tutor MCAT, SAT, and the SAT.In my experience, rather than the Tutor being an all-knowing power who lectures on the information, the most beneficial environment for the student is one that feels like a conversation. By creating a dynamic atmosphere between Tutor and student, the student will be able to truly understand the material. Constant collaboration is the key to a student's success and I have spent years mastering this skill.My interests, outside of teaching, include sports, music, and international work. I personally understand the everyday challenges that student athletes must overcome and I can tailor my approach to best fit their academic needs. On top of sports, I have spent my entire life learning either the piano, guitar, or ukulele. I traveled to Italy and spent two weeks there to sing for the Pope. I recently completed a ten day medical mission in Vietnam, providing primary health care and aiding the surgery team for ten or more hours each day.

I am a licensed, ARRT registered Radiologic Technologist, with a varied Hospital background. I also happen to be an excellent student and test taker. I'm looking forward to assisting you on your professional journey.

I graduated from University of California, San Diego and I grew up in China. I am really addicted in Mathematics and have a lot of tutoring experience to share. I worked as a math tutor math learning center for years. I have helped students from 6 years old to 60 years old. I have helped student's grades change significantly from failing to an A. The secret is that one can never succeed in math without practice.Badminton and Piano are two of my best friends. I learned piano from the age of 3 and I can play by ear now. I was also professionally trained badminton during my high school and achieved 2nd level national athlete in China.However, the characteristic that makes me special is my experience. I left home and came to California without a penny in my pocket. I have worked from a dishwasher to math tutor, from cashier to data analyst. While I am doing the hard work as a minimum wage worker, there has been a voice telling me -- Michael, you will not end up with that, you must study as hard as you can to earn a better life. I successfully survived in California, graduated from college and I am currently working as Actuarial Analyst. What I have learned from my story is that we must cherish every opportunity to study.So, if you are interested in a polite Chinese guy with an excellent mathematical foundation, with a lot of interests, and a young man who is self-supported as a first generation immigrant who had faced and overcame difficulties, please kindly contact me.I will try my best to help you succeed in Math and won't give up.

I am a graduate of UC San Diego with a Bachelors in Neuroscience through the Psychology department. After graduating, I went to Michigan Technological University and did some graduate work, before moving to Texas to be closer to my parents. I did my alternative certification program through Texas Teachers and am highly qualified to teach Science for grades 7-12. I have been a teacher in public and charter schools for the last four years, and have tutoring experience extending over ten years behind me as well.I am most passionate about teaching because I love seeing people learn, grow, and become problem solvers and leaders of the future. It's hugely rewarding for me whenever someone changes their mind about a subject, displays interest in continuing to study something related to what we've worked on together, or simply becomes proud of their academic improvement and success.My approach to teaching anything involves first engaging with the student, then making sure they have a strong foundation before reinforcing anything that they're struggling on. I love to make learning fun and interactive, because we all retain more of what we learn when we enjoy it. I hope to reach many more students with my infectious enthusiasm as the years go by.

I am a first-year medical student attending Rosalind Franklin University. I completed my bachelor's degree at UC San Diego studying Bioengineering with an emphasis on Control Systems and Mathematical Modeling. I have worked with graduate students, collegiate students, and school students. Tutoring is one of the most satisfying ways I spend my time. I value and enjoy building a rapport with each student so I can challenge him or her to think critically about a given problem. On the flip side, I continually remind my students to critique and to question what I am presenting, especially if a point is unclear. This not only helps my students to gain a complete understanding, but it also drives me to improve how I explain a concept.My passion for being a tutor comes from my family. I am the oldest son in a family of four children and took great pride helping my younger siblings with their homework while I was in high school. In my free time, I enjoy being active. I played collegiate lacrosse and also enjoy surfing, running, and playing soccer when I have some extra free time.

I am a graduate of University of California, San Diego. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on International Relations, and a minor in Philosophy. Since graduation, I've been interning at a policy think-tank in Washington, D.C. I really enjoy tutoring a broad range of subjectsfrom math to test prep to writingbecause it keeps me intellectually active and on my toes. I really like to tutor by leading my partner through an analysis of his/her thought process in problem-solving; I've found it's a really effective way to break bad mental habits and create new, good ones.

For the past 5 years, I have been helping young adults get into the college of their dreams. As an instructor at several community colleges, I have the opportunity to work with many diverse and fascinating students. I have learned that my students' education, experience, obligations, family, culture, expectations, motivation, and personal learning styles drastically affect how successful we are in accomplishing our goals.As a result, I customize my lessons to take these factors into account for every student I teach.As a lifelong learner myself, I am grateful for the many teachers and tutors who helped me earn a Master's degree in English Literature from San Francisco State University and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UC San Diego.Now, I work with students at every level: elementary school, secondary school, college, and continuing education. As long as you are motivated to learn and improve yourself, we will be successful. If you do not feel motivated, I have some strategies to help you as well!What can you expect from our sessions?* Improve your reading speed by 300 words per minute* Hone your ability to remember and explain what you read* Learn critical thinking strategies for analytical readingAnd...* Eliminate sentence-level errors by improving your mechanics* Write amazing paragraphs even when you have nothing to say!* Produce essays that rank in the top 5 percent of your classAnd...* Improve your test scores* Upgrade your study strategies* Know how to write for your audienceI am passionate about learning and helping my students grow as independent learners! Let's work together to achieve your dreams!

I am a Masters student with a 3.9 GPA studying Industrial/Organizational Psychology. I have taken many years of statistics, both at the undergraduate and the graduate level, and have years of tutoring experience. As a high schooler, I independently tutored a young girl in both reading and math for several years. Separately, I also tutored two young women for whom English was a second language.In my undergraduate career at UCSD, I was a teaching assistant for an upper division psychology course. As part of my graduate assistantship, I also assist or instruct (depending on the semester) for undergraduate statistics. I host office hours and SPSS-based labs, grade assignments, present material, provide study tools, and act as as a support system for my students. I have experience writing graduate school application essays and reviewing others'. Lastly, I have a wealth of scientific writing experience thanks to years of research and Master's thesis work.I am passionate about helping people achieve that "A ha!" moment. I have a true love of learning - it has propelled me to pursue a graduate degree and to assist others in doing the same. I enjoy building relationships with those I can assist, seeing them grow and make strides. There's nothing quite like the confusion of feeling lost in one's classes. I understand this feeling, I empathize with it, and I commit myself to lessen and, ultimately, eliminate it for others.It would be my pleasure to assist you in gaining confidence with all aspects of research methods! If you're interested, please reach out to me.
