Esther

AP English Language and Composition Tutor • +16 Subjects

I received my Bachelor's Degree in Humanities, Philosophy & Art at Biola University, where I attended on an academic scholarship. My love for tutoring began in high School when I tutored children (ages 5-14) through a daycare where I worked with special needs children in Math, English, Social Sciences, and Writing.I was in a Speech Team for high school students from 2004-2007, where I trained them in English Literature, Communications, and Public Speaking. We focused on stage presence, diction, confidence, and articulate communication delivery.After high school, I moved to France to be an Au Pair for a French family, where I tutored the children (ages 8-12) in English and became proficient in French myself. When I returned to the United States in 2006, I continued my studies in French grammar for four years, while pursuing my Bachelor's Degree at Biola University.I am a Shakespeare aficionado, love running, hiking, dancing, singing, and reading masterfully written classics novels. I love helping people overcome their fears and struggles in learning, and helping them take joy in learning. I love tutoring French, and having studied the language myself in France. I enjoy helping students gain authentic pronunciation, colloquialisms, and conversation skills!I am cheerful, positive, and a dedicated worker. I bring professionalism and fun to every tutoring scenario. By setting reasonable and attainable goals, I creatively design every session to accommodate the student's needs and learning preferences. Each person is unique, and ought to be given the special attention that will best equip them with the confidence and skills they need to succeed!

Dallas

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +28 Subjects

I recently graduated from the University of California, Berkeley (Go Bears!) with a degree in Integrative Biology and an emphasis in Human Health. During my time there I took classes in just about every science subject they offered- which was reminiscent of High School, when I took just about every AP class my school offered. If you're sensing a theme here, you're right. I can be kind of a nerd. While at Cal I tutored other students in Physics and Chemistry, and also taught an introductory Biology lab. I also spent some time tutoring High School students in various sciences as well as Spanish.I approach teaching in the same way that I approach learning; through a problem-solving, rather than memorization-based technique. I have found that most of the time, students are eager to understand the big picture but can sometimes get tripped up by confusing subtleties before they get there. It is my job to patiently translate that jargon into understandable concepts that enable the student to better understand the subject. I love teaching all sciences, as well as Spanish and reading techniques. Outside of teaching, I love being outdoors, and you can often find me planning fishing and backpacking trips. I am also active in volunteering, including an annual trip to Mexico to build houses, and am a huge San Francisco Giants fan. I plan to apply to Medical School next year.

Algebra Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of Loyola Marymount University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biology and played four years of Division 1 soccer. I will be attending medical school in Fall 2019 at Creighton University. With 7 years of tutoring under my belt, 4 of which included working as a peer tutor for LMU Athletics, I have developed a strong passion for assisting others inside and out of the classroom to reach successful academic goals. I believe having a strong foundation in education is important for future success in our careers and relationships. As a STEM major, I have focused on tutoring in math and sciences as I enjoy working through problems with my students in an engaging manner and finding which methods work for them. Along with tutoring, I am a licensed EMT and perform clinical oncology research for UCLA. In my spare time, I enjoy running, working out, reading, and playing soccer.

I aspire to inspire others to learn and to reach personal goals. I get a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction when I am able to help others and see them progress. I learn from my mistakes and experiences and I believe that guiding others into the right path is one of the best things that you can do.I have previously tutored family members and peers in math and biology. I like helping others learn and guiding them to get the motivation to become independent learners.I studied and received my Bachelors of Science in biology at the University of California Irvine. Biology is one of the greatest passions in my life, everything new that I learn amazes me, and engages me more and more each time.I believe in the healing and preventative powers of food in health thus, I aim to one day become a nutritionist/dietician and help in the fight to diminish cardiovascular diseases among other problems.

I have been tutoring students in science and math for over 6 years and enjoy every moment of it!

Marissa

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +47 Subjects

I am a graduate of Providence Christian College, a small liberal arts school in Pasadena. I received my bachelor's in liberal arts with English and history concentrations. In college, I worked in our Academic Resource Center editing essays and leading study groups for struggling students. After college, I began tutoring language arts for elementary and middle school students. I help students improve their reading comprehension, phonetics, and grammar.My favorite subjects to tutor are language arts and American literature. Knowledge is power, as the saying goes, and knowledge comes through reading and writing. Literacy is the path to liberty, independence, and fulfillment and I want to help students succeed in their reading and writing to empower them to freedom. One of my favorite historical books is The Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas. In his autobiography, Douglas, a former slave, describes how his masters kept him enslaved by making it illegal for slaves to learn to read and write. However, one of Douglas' kinder mistresses educated him, and this power enabled him to run away and eventually write his radical memoir that led to the abolition of slavery in America.Learning begins with questioning, so I ask my students lots of questions to invoke discussion that leads them to the right answers. I learn what my students are interested in, and I shape my lesson plans around their interests. I communicate with my students to make sure they are understanding and they feel like we are moving toward their goals. All people are smart and able, so even when students seem disinterested, I hold them to a high expectation. I care about my students as human beings in the pursuit of their dreams which means I will do my best always to teach them and respect their time. I am very patient, encouraging, and kind to my students because that is the environment I need when I am learning.In my spare time I enjoy hanging out with my friends, reading novels, creative writing, taking walks around the Rosebowl, singing, watching sunsets from the San Gabriel mountains, and eating breakfast in the morning sun with a strong cup of coffee.

Tara

Arithmetic Tutor • +38 Subjects

I love working with students one-on-one because it's possible to get to the bottom of whatever is challenging them and help them conquer it. I love to see the light-bulbs go on when they finally understand something or realize what they know. It's also fun to build rapport with young people and help them discover the joy of learning.I have over ten years of teaching experience in all subjects: as a full-time elementary school teacher, a substitute in all grades, and a summer-school teacher doing math review with high school freshmen. I have also tutored in French and English as a second language and helped college students and adults with revising and editing their writing.I have a current teaching credential from the State of California, a master's degree in education from U.C.L.A., and a bachelor's degree in French from U.C. Berkeley.
