Brandi

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +12 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Redlands with a B.S. in Business Administration and a B.A. in Psychology. I am an experienced elementary and middle school tutor. While I most enjoy teaching English, I have experience tutoring in all middle and elementary school subject areas. I have tutored students in one-on-one sessions and after school "homework help" programs. In my spare time I enjoy running, hiking, swimming and baking. I also volunteer at the San Diego Humane Society.

Heidi

Algebra Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am a math and science enthusiast. I love finding solutions to problems. In high school I was described as a nerd, not only because I graduated valedictorian of my senior class, but because I did all of my homework as well as extra problems.My love of math and science caused me to pursue a Civil Engineering degree at the University of California - Irvine. After graduating with my undergraduate degree in June 2014, I am now working on my graduate degree in the same field. My overall career goal is to work for a public agency that monitors and analyzes environmental hydrology and water resource models.I started tutoring math in high school. A family friend asked me to help her son, who was struggling with seizures and missing class a lot for doctors appointments, catch up with his Algebra 2 class. Once I started college, I got a job tutoring students primarily in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I enjoy tutoring not only because I enjoy solving problems, but because I love seeing and hearing about my students success. My best day as a tutor was when one of my Pre-Calculus students told me that not only did he pass his final exam, but he moved up an entire letter grade in the class. I was so excited to hear this news because I knew that it meant that now he would be able to take AP Calculus which would, in turn, make him a more competitive candidate his dream aerospace engineering program.In my spare time, I enjoy reading. My favorite days are ones that are spent with a novel. My other hobbies include playing piano, photography, running, hiking, yoga, and travel.

Aleksandra

Arithmetic Tutor • +25 Subjects

I have experience teaching different grade levels and different subjects. I have taught both 6th grade and 4th grade. In each grade level I taught math, reading, writing, and social studies. I have also taught 4th grade science. I really enjoy working one on one with students and in small groups. I have taught an after school class for a few years to help students in math, writing, and reading. In the class we worked in small groups on many topics including homework, current school and grade level topics and old topics to help with intervention. I have also taught summer school to help students before moving on to the next grade level. I think it is very important to use many different types of strategies to help students succeed. Strategies I have used and find very successful are whole brain learning, cooperative learning, hands on and engaging activities, manipulatives, and technology.

While still in high school, I tutored fellow students to help them achieve their academic goals. After four years of undergrad, my experiences and abilities as a tutor have grown in breadth and depth but my passion has not changed. Even now, I enjoy helping people understand and even come to like challenging subjects, like math and the sciences.

Brandon

ACT English Tutor • +32 Subjects

My name is Brandon. I am from San Diego, California and I have found that learning makes me happy. When I am learning new things and mastering new concepts and skills, my sense of contentment is higher, I feel accomplished, and I have a healthier sense of self-worth.What I want more than anything is to impart that sense of fulfillment to others. Whether I am teaching in a classroom, tutoring difficult concepts, showing my daughter how to tie her shoes, or just interacting with those in my daily life, I live for those "ah-ha!" moments when a hurtle is overcome and a new idea takes shape.Come join me! We can learn from each other, have "ah-ha!' moments together, and work toward being more complete individuals.

Jonathan

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +25 Subjects

I am a recent graduate from The University of Chicago. I graduated with a degree in Political Science with much additional coursework in literature and philosophy. My favorite part about being a tutor is the moment of satisfaction that comes with seeing one of my students greatly improve after a lot of hard work. My favorite things to tutor are the GRE and the SAT, in part because I feel like a high score on these exams should be accessible for anyone if they are given the tools for success. As a former high school and college debater I enjoy having an opportunity to help students talk their way through the various logical challenges within these exams, as well as develop the kind of self-awareness and mental discipline that is essential to persevering and getting those last few questions right.

Trishala

Anatomy & Physiology Tutor • +21 Subjects

Hi, my name is Trishala, but I mostly go by Trish. I am currently a graduate student studying physiology at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, OH. I completed my undergraduate education at Georgetown University and majored in psychology. Between undergraduate and graduate school I worked as a Clinical Research Associate at Medanta- The Medicity medical institution in Delhi, India. During the holidays, I love to travel and explore different cultures :) I primarily teach by using a lot of visuals, as I believe this is the best way to retain information; however, every student is different and I will make every effort to employ a teaching method that caters to the individual.

Ema

ACT Math Tutor • +17 Subjects

I am a recent graduate of Harvard University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature with an emphasis on screenwriting. Although I love literature and writing, I am most passionate about tutoring math. I have five years of experience as a math tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and roller-blading.

Matt

ACT Math Tutor • +62 Subjects

I have been lucky enough to have many great experience so far in my life. I was a Korean translator in the US Army for eight years. After serving in the Army, I went to Riverside Community College and then San Diego State, where I majored in English and minored in Asian Studies. I've since earned a teaching credential and Master's in Education from National University, and worked as a high school English and Spanish teacher for most of 2001-2013. Outside of “work,” I like to travel and to learn foreign languages. I've traveled a fair bit in Asia and Europe, and hope see South America soon. I live near San Diego State University now, and have lived in Oregon, Pennsylvania, and various places around the country. I also love old cars and reading, especially historical fiction.I can tutor English, Spanish, Social Studies, Math (up through Algebra I), and standardized test preparation. I especially like tutoring Spanish, literature, and history. I really enjoy tutoring because I get to help people and I love learning! I believe that it is easiest to learn when we can make personal connections with what we are studying, so I seek out ways to connect the learning to your experiences. I also believe that learning is more effective when it is fun and when it is done in a multi-sensory manner, so I utilize multimedia, tactile learning, and music as part of my tutoring. I'll work hard to ensure you are learning the knowledge and skills to be successful!
