Sarah
ACT English Tutor • +32 Subjects
I am currently a sophomore at NYU studying English and Journalism. However, I can help with almost any subject, including math and science, as I took advanced-level courses and 13 AP tests in high school. I have years of experience tutoring students of all ages, from elementary school through high school. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the violin, reading, and writing. I live in New York City during the academic year (September - May) and would be happy to tutor in-person (depending on the travel distance) then. Of course, if you/your child is more comfortable with online tutoring, I can tutor online year-round. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope to work with you/your child soon!

Melanie
Algebra Tutor • +19 Subjects
I am currently a graduate student looking to complete my Master's degree in Education along with my teaching credential to teach Foundational Math. I just moved up to Orange County a few months ago and cannot wait to see what new adventures will come in the next year! I have been tutoring since I was in high school and have always enjoyed mathematics. Since then, I have worked with students as young as kindergarten all the way up to high school seniors. Over the years, I have learned that not everyone is as excited about school as I am, so I always try to connect the material to the students as much as possible. I am always willing to go that extra mile to reach my students in a way that they will understand the material and maybe even enjoy it! In my free time, I enjoy playing soccer, walking around the beach, exploring my new town, and reading a good book.

Math and science can be frustrating and intimidating to many people, and my objective is to help you overcome any hurdles your may have in these subjects in order to achieve your academic and career goals.Having received my Bachelors of Science in Physics from California State University, Long Beach, I have a passion for science and math which I love to transmit to other people, whether they be curious laymen, fellow students, or tutees. While earning my degree I had the opportunity of taking part in undergrad research at my university, and the privilege of participating in a student internship program at Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. This experience has given me some perspective in appreciating the scope and possibilities in science.But while doing so I have also practiced my other passion--instruction and education in this field and related subjects by working as a tutor for high school students in the subjects of math, science, and in test preparation. I also have experience in a job after graduation as a tutor of university students in college level courses, from remedial math and science classes to more advanced second and third year physics courses.After several years working as a laboratory technician at a fuel cell research and design company, I am returning to this latter passion as I pursue a teaching credential program at the University of Dominguez Hills. In my view, the best approach to teaching is not one that just instructs you in procedures by rote memorization and repetition (although these may be necessary and useful in achieving success), but also one that guides you to acquire the needed tools and critical thinking skills to not only learn the procedures needed for math, science, or standardized tests, but to also hopefully understand the subject sufficiently to develop your own techniques in many different situations, or to possibly apply them in your area your interest.This is achieved by identifying your level of understanding, making sure you know or learn any needed background information, and to also sometimes explain and give you an insight into the motivation for the formulas, techniques or procedures pertaining to the subject at hand, and relating them to different examples and applications in real life in order to make them less abstract. In whichever approach I may take, in the end my aim is to demystify and make these subjects less intimidating to you, since I more than likely have gone through similar frustrations in my education.
Byrd
Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects
I am a graduate of North Carolina State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Human Biology and minors in Spanish and Nutrition. Since graduation, I moved to Los Angeles to serve with AmeriCorps through the American Red Cross where I taught disaster preparedness and helped with disaster recovery. Throughout my undergraduate education I traveled to the Dominican Republic and Nicaragua with Outreach360 on seven trips to teach Spanish Literacy and Public Health. I returned several times and witnessed the power of education in transforming impoverished communities. At North Carolina State University, I taught children how to eat healthy on a fixed income through Cooking Matters. I am currently teaching CPR and First Aid with the Red Cross and volunteer at a free clinic in Santa Monica while I apply to Medical School. While I have taught a broad range of subjects, Biology and Spanish are my passion. In my spare time, I enjoy riding horses, yoga, and hiking.
Holly
College English Tutor • +18 Subjects
I graduated from the University of California, Santa Cruz and received my Bachelor of Arts in the History of Art and Visual Culture. While attending school, I became an Education Intern at the local museum and taught local history and art lessons to students ranging from kindergarten to 6th grade. This was when I first had a taste of the valuable and rewarding experience of teaching. After graduation, I decided to teach English abroad in Hanoi, Vietnam. I lived there for a year teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) to a wide range of classes from Fundamentals for pre-kindergarteners to Business English for adults. During this time, I began tutoring college level students in Speaking, Listening, Reading or Writing with a specific topic focus. I also have experience teaching the Language Arts, Grammar, Essay Writing, Public Speaking and Debates, Literature, Phonics and Arithmetic here in San Diego. I find that I am most passionate about teaching English and the Arts because I can have so much fun with it! I am a firm believer in making education accessible to all learners, so I plan and prepare my lessons to be dynamic and engaging. During my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga, hiking in Mission Trails, playing my ukulele, listening to old records, cooking, baking, and planning my next travel adventure.

Teaching is not just a passion, it's a calling! There's never a lack of knowledge, just a shortage of asking for help. If a student is asking for help, then they are an inspiration, in and of itself.I am currently a software engineer, but I started as an educator early in life. I began teaching as a teacher's assistant at Eckerd College. At the time, I honestly thought I had the best job in the world. I realized I aspired to see other people have those "A-ha" moments.Many years later, I'm sure I wasn't wrong.I would later go on to teach English As a Second Language while I lived in Colombia for a couple of years. My desire to elevate others continued and witnessing their victories, big and small, continued to impact me. I had a particular student who worked with me for 2 years. He walked in with no knowledge. We were having full conversations in English towards the end. Working with them was one of my proudest moments.I am an educator, through and through. I look forward to working with you!
Erin
Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects
I graduated UC Santa Barbara in 2014 with a Bachelors of Science in Biology. After graduation I started working as a medical scribe at a pediatrics office and currently I am applying to medical school. With my background in the sciences I look forward to tutoring students in a broad range of sciences as well as math. While at UCSB, I volunteered in a first grade classroom and assisted students one-on-one. I also volunteered with SciTrek, a program that allowed students to create their own science experiment. Throughout my schooling I have enjoyed working with peers in group setting and unofficially tutoring my younger sibling and cousins. I recognize the importance of individualized learning and will bring that into each tutoring session. As a tutor, I will build upon students foundation of knowledge to build from the ground up and allow full understanding of more complex topics. I have had many teachers contributed to myself falling in love with learning, with these experiences I hope to give pieces of that back to the next generation of scholars. Away from academics I love traveling, I have been to nine countries and this past summer explored the Pacific Northwest on a road trip and my first trip to Yosemite in October. I also enjoy remaining active and being outdoors through running, hiking, skiing and snowboarding.
Scott
College English Tutor • +12 Subjects
I grew up in California and graduated from The University of Oklahoma as a double major. I hold a B.A. in French Language & Literature and a B.A. in Public Relations & Journalism. I have taught French at the college level as well as tutored in my universitys language lab. I had the privilege of mentoring elementary school students in a French immersion program. Ive traveled extensively in metropolitan France and the province of Qubec. Currently, I work as a Public Relations professional for an education focused non-profit.No matter how long I study, the phases of learning a foreign language remain fresh in my mind. The anxiety of new grammar and the joy of mastering it are something of a universal with students. As a Journalism student and PR professional, the precision with which I was taught to write has imbued me with a keen sense of what constitutes not just good but great writing. Editing, proofreading, and revision are second nature to me as are the intricacies of English syntax and grammar.Helping others achieve confidence in their work, no matter the topic, is the goal of my tutoring. Everyone learns differently and distinctly. If there were a one-size-fits-all to learning, everyone would use it! So, it is essential I understand my students: what do they enjoy about learning; what challenges them; how do they learn best; what are their strengths; what are their learning goals; how do their goals align with those of their classes? Suffice to say, empathy is the foundation of my teaching style.
