Award-Winning Tutors serving Beaux Arts Village, WA

Hi! My name is Colleen Martinez, I am a college senior with a major in psychology and anthropology! I love learning new things and getting to know new people and I am excited to do that through tutoring!

I am currently working towards a BS in Mathematics from La Salle University with a minor in Chemistry. After graduating this May, I plan on attending graduate school at the University of Washington for Civil Engineering. I enjoy tutoring as I see it as a means to help people overcome an obstacle.

...a tutor is to find out what my student's learning style is and adapt my teaching accordingly. I'm passionate about helping students because I was a student myself in the same situation. Being willing to accept help for a subject is half the battle. I'm here to help fight the other half.

I earned my MA in Italian Literature at the University of Washington and am currently writing my dissertation for a PhD in Romance Languages (Spanish & Italian). I have been teaching Italian 7 years at the university level and I also teach Spanish.

...transition from crawling to a very shaky walk! It is a very exciting “work in progress!” I look forward to the opportunity to meet with you and your child. I am confident that with rigorous and engaging encouragement we will together accelerate academic achievement as well as cultivate a love of learning.

...it's all a part of this huge story, a story with lots of parts we're all working on. I'm a nerd about how it works, and I've studied it from a lot of angles. As a tutor, I'm all about helping people find their voice and that part in the big story.

...Asian Studies. I then continued my studies at the Seattle University School of Law where I received my Juris Doctorate. While attending college, I was fortunate to be chosen to work in two different tutoring centers. The skills I learned there really expanded my abilities to tailor sessions to the students learning style and abilities....

...young as kindergarten to as experienced as undergraduates in college. I tutor reading, writing, science (physics, chemistry, biology), mathematics (all levels up to calculus), and MCAT preparation. My teaching style revolves around discussion of the material and doing practice problems to test understanding. I am very patient and don't get frustrated easily. Outside of academia,...

...approach for each individual student. I have a bachelor's degree in Finance from the University of Washington's Foster School of Business. I transferred from Carleton College, where I focused on economics and was also able to take a wide range of liberal arts courses. I have been tutoring since high school when I was a...

...using technology in the K-12 classroom. I have 12+ years of experience teaching English and Spanish as a second language. Here at Varsity, I teach all levels of my beautiful native language, Espaol (Spanish). I believe anyone can become fluent in Spanish when they find the right fit for them, whether it is full immersion...

...with the student, guiding them along the way with questions meant to help them think about the problem and come to their own understanding of the material. Teaching, to me, is a dialog. My role is to help you learn the material in a way that works with how you process information. I teach high...

...increase understanding of certain concepts, and/or become familiar with test materials. The tutoring relationship is like a coaching relationship; I will give students the skills they need to be the best readers and writers possible, and I will ultimately help students take responsibility of their own learning. I look forward to connecting with you!

...when he or she "gets it." I love that. I have found great joy in teaching, and for the time that I am with a student, nothing is more important than making sure you are comfortable and you understand the material. I have a lot of experience with mathematics, and frankly, I think I have...

...forward, as I believe having a solid grasp of fundamentals and prior concepts is essential in understanding new ideas in Maths. I've achieved a BS in Mathematics from the University of Alaska, Anchorage. In my opinion, mathematics is a series of puzzles where you simply need to find and use the correct tools to connect...

...as a tutor at Berkeley High School's Bridge program, which aims to help underrepresented high school students on their paths to college. I helped students with many different subjects including test prep, but most of my experience was in math. While I majored in humanities, my strong math background from high school enabled me to...

...I have more than 10 years of real-word experience in business and Data Science. I am recognized by my employer as a subject matter expert in Python Programming and Data Engineering. I am available to help with topics from Algebra and Statistics to Business, Data Science and Computer Science. When I'm not learning the newest...

...Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in scores are caused...
