In my journey as an English literature student, I am striving to become a college professor of English. As part of that goal, I want to help students from all backgrounds get a quality education and not feel judged. In my public school education, I struggled myself with vision issues, which caused my education to dwindle, but it took one amazing teacher to ensure I found my way again. I hope to be the same for students.I received my bachelor's of arts from the University of Central Florida in English with Creative Writing. This degree qualifies me to tutor and teach grammar, spelling, writing, creative writing, and anything English related. On top on my bachelor's, I obtained my master's degree at the University of Alabama for English Literature in 2023. Currently, I am a PhD candidate in Literature at the University of Texas-Dallas and a Rhetoric and Composition Instructor.Overall, I am a tutor looking to mentor students to their highest potential. All students need to be successful is someone to believe in them and I promise I always will believe in each and every student.

I graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts in English with a focus in Renaissance Literature. After graduation, I received a Fulbright teaching grant to work as an English teacher in a bilingual high school in northern Spain. I liked the work and living in Spain so much that I decided to stay for another year, this time teaching at a different high school in Valladolid (near Madrid). My other teaching experience includes working as an SAT Critical Reading Instructor and tutoring high school students and adults in English while I lived in Spain. I also taught writing workshops for developmentally disabled adults while I was in college. Currently, I am enrolled in the Simmons College Graduate School of Library and Information Science, and upon completing my Master's degree, I hope to work in a special collections library with rare books and manuscripts.I tutor a number of subjects and am especially excited about English, Writing, SAT Critical Reading and Spanish. I always make sure to customize my lessons to the personalities and learning styles of my students and try to incorporate a variety of resources and exercises whenever possible. I think that one-on-one tutoring is an interactive process that should include lots of back-and-forth communication. Learning new concepts, especially ones that are initially challenging, is an exciting and enriching experience for me, and I hope to share that excitement with my students.In my free time, I love to read, especially science fiction, fantasy, and big, shaggy 19th century novels. I also enjoy hiking, camping and backpacking. Being new to the Boston area, I am looking forward to learning more about the area, especially all things book, library and history related.

I am a current undergraduate student at UNC Chapel Hill. I am a double major in journalism and French.On the side, I am also passionate about American history and classic literature, including poetry. Some of my favorite novelists include Dostoyevsky, Shakespeare, Toni Morrison, and Virginia Woolf.In my free time, I enjoy spending time at the lake with my family, traveling, reading and working on the editorial teams of my school newspaper and fashion magazine.Whether you want help editing a paper/college application, devising a thesis or structuring an essay, I am glad to help. I've been recognized on the national, state and local level for my excellence in AP English classes and creative writing.Additionally, I can help with introductory French classes through 300 level courses in college. Whether it's French grammar, writing, comprehension or speaking skills, I can offer patience and kind assistance.Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, and I look forward to meeting you.

Pronouns: they/them English; elle/le- Spanish; iel/lea-FrenchElsie holds a Bachelor's degree in Foreign Languages and Music from Allegheny College, and a Master's degree in French and Spanish from George Mason University. They have experience as an Adjunct Instructor of Spanish at George Mason University, and an adjunct instructor of French at the University of Pittsburgh. They are currently getting their PhD in French. They have also been trained as a writing tutor in English, French and Spanish. Elsie grew up in France, and continued to learn languages in immersion programs, study abroad semesters, and fascinating courses through graduate school. They have worked with multilingual students in elementary schools, immersion academies, tutoring programs, and in university courses. They also speak German, a little bit of Italian, and has an ever-growing "languages to learn" list.

I have been a high school English teacher for 2 1/2 years. Education was always a passion of mine and I became a teacher because I believe that the quality of a young person's education is the strongest tool they have to build success and happiness later in life. I love introducing students to a novel and showing them how much they can learn from it.I have also spent my last three summers tutoring for a company that specializes in building decoding and comprehension skills for struggling students. Working with this company allowed me to teach kids from kindergarten through high school.Before teaching I worked in advertising sales. I enjoyed the social aspect of this job; basically my success was rooted in how well I was able to communicate my position to my clients and together we put together advertising campaigns that communicated a certain message to their buyers. All my life I have been interested in how we as human beings communicate with each other and understand each other. How we do this has become increasingly complex and I find it rewarding and fun to teach this to young people.I love all manner of creative pursuits. I began designing jewelry about 4 years ago and I do this as a hobby for myself and friends. Anytime I can find something in my house to sand down and repaint or refinish I take on the project as well. I love learning and expressing myself creatively because it forces me to look at things in a new way and create something that simply wasn't there before.I also like to build creativity in the classroom (or tutoring session) since creative thinking is the root of good problem solving skills.I love teaching, I love creating new lessons and the experience of being able to show someone something new about the world is about the most fun and rewarding thing I've ever done with my life.

I have over ten years of teaching and tutoring experience, including one year teaching ESL at a Kindergarten in Chiang Mai, Thailand, three years teaching ESL at a cram school for students in elementary, middle, and high school in Taipei, Taiwan, and two years teaching creative writing to undergraduates at the University of Notre Dame. As someone who has studied Mandarin Chinese for three years, I understand the difficulty of acquiring a new language and the importance of immersion in the language as opposed to rote memorization of vocabulary words. I also believe that presenting arguments in a clear, well-structured, organized manner will improve any essay, regardless of the subject.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, where I attained two Bachelor's degrees in English and Ancient Latin Language and Literature. I am a licensed teacher with a diversity of experience working with young people. For the past 10 years, I have tutored students of all ages and in a variety of subjects, with a strong focus on K-12 mathematics. I am pursuing a Master's degree in Elementary Education and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. I am extremely passionate about teaching and work daily to improve my craft. Students, parents, supervisors, and colleagues have described me as efficient, extremely patient, creative, and caring.I am certified to tutor in a variety of subjects and consider the following areas to be my specialties:*Standardized tests, such as the ISEE, SSAT, and AP examinations*Students who demonstrate challenging behaviors*Long-term tutoring in math and reading--I love to guide a student who initially struggled to meet and exceed expectations!Outside of my direct work with students, I have coordinated a math tutoring program that placed K-12 math tutors into local public schools. I have also served as a Crisis Services Supervisor at the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). At NRS, I was able to support volunteers in providing trauma-informed services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth.I look forward to meeting you and your child!

I received an MFA from Harvard, a double BA from the University of California, Berkeley, graduating Summa Cum Laude at both schools. At Harvard I studied acting at the American Conservatory Theater/Moscow Art Theater Institute, and at Cal I studied English as well as Theater & Performance Studies, receiving scholarships in both departments, including the Departmental Citation (highest honor) for my honors thesis and production of Poet Laureate Robert Hass's "Time and Materials".As a tutor, I have worked for six years helping students with all SAT sections as well as English language and writing skills. I spent several years working as a Writing tutor at UC Berkeley's Student Learning Center, where I helped both long-term and drop-in college students with all sorts of writing help, including essays (literary, scientific, critical, sociological), applications and admissions statements, and creative writing. My last year there, I served as Senior Tutor, engaging with other tutors and mentoring new tutors to discuss and enact unique teaching pedagogies.In addition to the SAT and Writing, I tutor PSAT, basic Spanish, AP English, College Essays, voice and speech, Grammar, and Reading Comprehension. I love tutoring! It is hard to pick a favorite subject, but I have a special place in my heart for the art of writing - the sharing of a story, the power of an argument, or the creation of a world from a special perspective. I have worked with kids in 3rd and 4th grade through middle school, high school students (academic and pre-college focuses), and adults of all ages learning English, working on speech, or developing Reading and Writing skills. Additionally, I am fluent in Spanish and have tutored Spanish speakers.I firmly believe that students are not mere vessels for knowledge, but rather human beings with individual goals, hopes, and dreams. These are integral to their academic and pre-college work, since excellent work derives from one's sense of self, motivation, and experience. To this end, I always engage with students as collaborators. I work with them to develop "Sarah's SAT Prep Plan" or "Mike's Writing Workshop", as opposed to just a general course of study meant for anyone. Identifying specific problems and moving toward strong goals, I make sure students achieve changes that they can understand and internalize. Improvement is wonderful, but if students also know WHY a skill or approach is important, they will keep it with them for life.The artist's life is my bread and butter. I am a TV, film, and stage actor, and piano, trumpet, and guitar-player, and longtime creative writer. In regards to writing, nothing has been more educational and fulfilling than having my work published and produced. I used to run track and cross-country, but I am a little rusty these days. I like ballroom dancing, reciting Shakespeare, discussing films and plays, writing musical theatre, and singing. I enjoy good food, especially pasta, "Mad Men" (really, anything vintage), and New York City! As a tutor, I look forward to sharing my passion for life and learning with you!

I am a Yale University graduate with professional teaching experience at the college level. I know the SAT Writing and Reading sections like the back of my hand, and I know English, writing, and history as subjects just the same, but what I know most is how stressful and daunting the college admissions process can be. I am most passionate about helping you succeed in your school and test prep endeavors and to do that, I will teach you the test taking methods, study habits and study tricks that work best for you individually. No cookie-cutters tactics, no frustration. I am here to instruct, support, build confidence, encourage, and most of all, to be a patient guide in getting you where you want to be.

I have a passion for learning and helping others acquire knowledge.
