Reluctant student turned teacher and coach.When I was a senior in high school, I had loathed my language arts teacher, which motivated me to become a teacher myself in hopes of one day ridding the world of despicable teachers. Now, I work with secondary students in the classroom and on the field. I get excited when I see my students succeed. It is my life's purpose to help others be the best version of themselves.I love working with students of all different ability levels. My degrees are in language arts education and exceptional education. Also, I recently look my ACT as part of a requirement to receive a grant, so I have first hand knowledge of the requirements and test taking strategies needed to do well on the assessment.

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.

I am a senior undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania studying Political Science, as well as a research assistant studying violence against women. Becoming a truly successful college student often requires using an interdisciplinary approach to a given subject. I strive to bring what I have learned at a top University to high school students.

During the regular school year, I work full-time as a teacher incorporating critical and creative thinking into classrooms, K-6. Prior to becoming a teacher, I had extensive experience tutoring students of all ages, from second grade all the way up to those at the graduate level. I've tutored U.S. History at the elementary, middle, and high school levels; World History at the middle school level; Earth Science and reading at the elementary level; and writing at both the elementary and graduate levels. My favorite subject to both teach and tutor is anything related to history - examining different perspectives and their influence on later decisions is something which I find truly fascinating. I earned a degree in English Literature, with a minor in History, from Oglethorpe University in Atlanta, GA, as well as a Master of Arts in Teaching, with a concentration in early childhood and elementary education, from Pacific University in Eugene, OR. In the future, I hope to teach aspiring teachers in a college of education. Teaching is truly a passion of mine - I believe that students deserve to work with someone who respects and affirms them, helps them develop self-efficacy, and pushes them to reach their potential. To that end, I adapt my teaching methods to fit the student, and always seek to apply what we're learning to real-world situations. In my spare time, I am an avid reader - books about historical events and education are some of my favorites, but I also enjoy popular fiction. I love attending Nats games, although I'm an Atlanta Braves fan at heart, and like to follow various college and pro sports teams, including the Oregon Ducks, Philadelphia Eagles, and Portland Trailblazers. When I can, I try to get outside and stay active as much as possible. A personal goal I have for myself is to run a 5K within the next 6 months.

I love learning, and I want to help you love learning too! I am a recent human development graduate from Brigham Young University and a current developmental psychology PhD student at Arizona State University. I am passionate about education and helping students meet their educational goals through developmentally accurate methods. I have worked with kids ages 2-17 as a gymnastics coach and as a program leader at a school daycare. I have also worked as a college teaching assistant for research methods, social development, and adolescent development. I am a strong writer and reader, and I love to work with kids. I believe that every student has incredible potential, and I want to help you feel confident in your unique talents! I also have experience developing curriculum for unique developmental circumstances, including for children with autism. My teaching philosophy emphasizes autonomy-supportive learning and family involvement. Outside of teaching, I love reading, photography, and camping. Let's be lifelong learners together!

I love language and have a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing and in French Language & Civilization from Hunter College in NYC. I continued my Master's there in English Literature and am currently working on another Master's Degree in Elementary Education. My passion lies in helping students make connections in their own language as well as in learning a new one. I hope to show students that learning can be fun in and out of the classroom and my teaching philosophy focuses on finding common interests between subject and student. I look forward to getting to know my students so that I can individualize my teaching style to cater to their learning strengths.

I am a recent MBA grad who has experience working in business and public policy. I have written at a professional level and have experience doing economic research.

Combining a law school education with a career in the creative arts, I have seen firsthand that everyone has a different style of learning. Some students work best with charts and diagrams. Others may need to write outlines. Still others may gain a better understanding through flash cards and other learning tools.By selecting me as a tutor, you'll get more than just a bunch of basic practice problems and rote writing exercises. Tutoring should not be a "one size fits all" approach. My goal is to work with you to create a personalized learning plan that acknowledges your strengths and puts them to use in helping you actually learn a subject, not just memorize it.I am well-versed in a variety of subjects, with a specialty in writing and reading comprehension. I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and further discuss how we can help you better understand your schoolwork.

As a tutor, my goal is to enable kids to become stellar students by demystifying the writing process. From mastering basic study skills to writing a killer college application essay, I want students to feel confident with their ability to communicate ideas effectively. My experience as a tutor, mentor and editor has provided me with the opportunity to help a variety of students, from kindergarteners just learning to read, to high school seniors writing the essays that will gain them access to top-tier universities. In my years as a teacher's assistant for college freshmen, a workshop teacher at 826 Chicago and a literacy tutor with at-risk kids in a low-income elementary school in Ohio, I have turned students who professed to hate Reading and Writing into confident and creative writers. I have also helped students excel in History, Mathematics and particularly enjoy helping students exceed their own scoring expectations on the SAT.As a graduate of the Oberlin College Creative Writing Program, I believe that every writing assignment, from historical essays to Japanese poetry to science term papers, has the possibility to enthrall and fascinate. I believe that all writing is creative writing, and that in every assignment can be approached with equal measures of enthusiasm and diligence. I am an excellent teacher of the building blocks of language, including Phonics and Grammar. As Joan Didion once said, "Grammar is a piano I play by ear." I have helped dozens of students view grammar not as a stifling set of rules but instead, a toolbox for self-expression.I look forward to working with you soon!

I am a PhD student of Kansas State University. I received my Bachelor of Geography Education and English Literature in China. Since graduation, I have worked at Liuzhou Teachers' College for a while. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and that which enriches my life: dancing, running, baking and cooking.For Tutoring Chinese (Mandarin): I design specific curriculum and syllabus for different language purposes on political, commercial, cultural, and historical needs. I am very good at using technology in my teaching methods, such as to mix online teaching with traditional ways of teaching so as to seek optimal teaching result. To ensure the targeted language levels, I obtained the Mandarin Chinese Language Proficiency Tester certificate in 2008. Then periodically administer check ups and testings by myself to get students' proficiency reports. I can adjust my teaching materials and methods to fit your language needs. I am looking forward to hearing from you and helping you achieve your goals.For tutoring Geography: I enjoy helping students to create the self-confidence of study. I help them to build a unique way to learn Geography, to think spatially for every student on a purpose of understandable and efficient. I help students understand the key theories to help get the ideas to solve problems. I give practice only when needed. Sharing my knowledge with students to enhance their desire to learn is the key of my classes. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun (with remarkable advancements) prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams. I am a firm proponent of education and tutoring, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.
