Shobhna
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +38 Subjects
Hello, my name is Shobhna and I am an incoming freshman at Michigan State University! I started tutoring elementary kids in my neighborhood by helping them understand the basics of Math and English. Further exposure to tutoring was through my high school's National Honors Society chapter (NHS). Our chapter's mission was to provide underprivileged members of society care packages with medical and hygiene supplies at homeless shelters and tutor students who had minimal access to academic help outside school. In NHS, I tutored kids in Math, English, Chemistry, and Spanish 1. Not only did I enjoy teaching these subjects, but I also completed these classes with High Honors. Since graduating high school, I'm further motivated to minimize the disparities in education among disadvantaged communities. To add, I want to be able to tutor individuals from various backgrounds to minimize the academic difficulties that students including myself face. As a student who struggled with seeking additional resources when I found lessons in school hard, becoming a tutor allows me to help other students by connecting with them and learning the best ways they learn. With that in mind, I can structure the best method to shape complex lessons into simpler explanations to make it easier for the student to understand and allow them to apply their knowledge to excel in class. Together we can learn in the best way possible!

Molly
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects
Currently I am a graduate student in Stanford University's Master's Program for Human Genetics and Genetic Counseling. Prior to my enrollment at Stanford, I worked as a Genetic Counseling Assistant for Igenomix, a genetic testing laboratory. I graduated from Cornell University in December of 2021 with a BS in Biological Sciences and a minor in Education. As a student, I was a member of a research lab that works with the genetic basis of epilepsy in fruit flies as well as an undergraduate TA for a genetics laboratory course at Cornell. While I tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about tutoring biology and genetics, as that is where most of my expertise lies. I have enjoyed tutoring SAT and ACT math and science sections in the past and have found students have great success on these stressful tests after seeking out help from tutors like me. In my free time I love watching TV shows with my friends, being active, and painting. I am also a Crisis Text Line volunteer and enjoy taking shifts to help people through difficult times.

Grishma
Middle School Math Tutor • +69 Subjects
I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen how meaningful support can turn uncertainty into confidence. Having excelled academically myselfI graduated in the top 1% of my high school class and completed a rigorous AP curriculum in subjects like Chemistry, Biology, Physics, Calculus BC, English, Economics, and SpanishI know how transformative good teaching can be. I later earned my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University, where I studied Neuroscience, Anthropology, and Global Health. Those disciplines deepened my appreciation for how people learn, think, and connect across different perspectives. Throughout college and medical school, I've tutored students of varying ages and backgrounds in subjects including biology, chemistry, math, and writing, as well as standardized test preparation. My favorite subjects to tutor are biology and writingbiology because it helps students see the logic and beauty behind how living systems work, and writing because it empowers them to express complex ideas with clarity and confidence. My teaching philosophy centers on patience, adaptability, and curiosity. I approach each session as a collaboration, tailoring lessons to each student's needs and helping them build problem-solving skills rather than rely on rote memorization. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about photography and travelboth of which keep me creative, observant, and open-minded, qualities I bring into every tutoring interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions
A writing tutor provides personalized feedback on the elements that matter most—thesis development, argument structure, evidence integration, and revision strategies. Rather than just correcting grammar, tutors help you understand why certain choices strengthen your writing and guide you through the process of developing your own voice and style. With one-on-one instruction, you get targeted feedback on your specific weaknesses, whether that's organization, clarity, or supporting your claims effectively.
Grammar is the foundation—correct punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice ensure your ideas are clear and professional. Style, on the other hand, is about how you express those ideas: your tone, sentence variety, word selection, and overall voice. A strong writer masters both. Tutoring addresses both elements, starting with grammar fundamentals if needed, then helping you develop a distinctive, compelling writing style that engages readers and communicates your unique perspective.
Writer's block usually stems from one of a few issues: unclear thinking about your topic, perfectionism, or not knowing how to start. Tutors help by breaking the writing process into manageable steps—brainstorming ideas, creating outlines, drafting without judgment, and then revising. They also teach strategies like freewriting, asking guiding questions to clarify your thinking, and building momentum by focusing on one section at a time rather than the whole essay at once.
Absolutely. Many students find citation formats confusing, but they're learnable with clear guidance. Tutors can explain how MLA and APA differ, show you how to format in-text citations and works cited pages correctly, and teach you the reasoning behind these formats. More importantly, they help you understand why proper attribution matters—not just as a rule to follow, but as a way to acknowledge sources and build credibility in your writing.
Literary analysis requires you to move beyond summarizing a text to interpreting what it means and why the author made specific choices. Tutors guide you in developing strong analytical claims, finding textual evidence that actually supports those claims, and explaining the significance of that evidence. They teach you how to read closely for literary devices, themes, and character development, then help you organize those observations into a coherent, persuasive essay that demonstrates genuine understanding.
The best writing tutors combine subject expertise with strong teaching skills. Look for someone who understands essay structure, argumentation, and grammar thoroughly, but also listens carefully to your specific challenges and adjusts their approach accordingly. They should ask questions that help you think deeper about your own writing, provide clear feedback with specific examples, and encourage you to take ownership of your revision process rather than simply fixing errors for you.
Improvement depends on how frequently you work with a tutor and how actively you apply feedback. Many students notice better organization and clearer thesis statements within 2-3 sessions. Developing a more sophisticated writing style and consistently strong essays typically takes longer—usually several weeks of regular practice and feedback. The key is consistent practice between sessions, applying what you've learned to new assignments, and building confidence in your ability to revise your own work effectively.
