Graduated from Bucknell University-received grade of A in Organic Chemistry I&II, working to become doctor and take the medical college admission test Phoenix. Az.

About the lesson
I am very clear and can accommodate visual and auditory learning. I like to use psychological strategies to aid with memorization such as associations and pneumonic. Also, I create very clear visuals when showing reaction mechanisms which can be challenging to follow. Conceptually, organic chemistry can be difficult but using the right visual techniques can eliminate potential errors.

About Laura
I have a vast background and experience in English at all grade levels and ages. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master of Arts in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, and postgraduate reading courses. I have been tutoring and teaching English since I was 17 years old, and I thoroughly enjoy helping others with learning and master English language skills.

On a more personal level, I enjoy spending time with my family and our three furry friends, a German Shepherd, a mini schnauzer, and a pug-beagle mix. I enjoy reading and swimming, but most of all, I relish spending time with my family!

I live in Georgia. Over the past couple of years, I have tutored elementary and middle school children through my school as a volunteer. I have also tutored ESL in China and ran a STEM night program for elementary school students in my community to teach STEM concepts through activities. 

About the lesson

When taking on a new student, I first get familiar with their learning style. I believe this is essential as everyone learns differently. I break down concepts first to be most effective when initially introducing a concept to a student. I also believe that teaching by doing works best. Though it’s important to introduce a concept letting students do it on their own with guidance is active. 

To keep my students motivated with encouragement. If a student feels unmotivated and lost, I encourage them by breaking down the concept.  Then learning the practical use of what they are learning in school.

About Alina

Growing up, I found math to be my favorite subject. From multiplication tables to intervals of convergence in infinite series, I enjoyed endless ah-ha moments after an immense struggle for the answer. Ever since elementary school, English was my most challenging subject. I would get tutored weekly as I struggled through reading comprehension. 

I’m most familiar with tutoring in math as I grew up helping my little brother with his math homework. In high school, I tutored elementary and middle school math through my school. I find finally understanding a math concept to be satisfying and hope to help students understand the logic behind it as opposed to simply memorizing.

My favorite part about tutoring is watching students realize that they can solve problems that once seemed impossible. What’s most important to me as a tutor is ensuring that the student leaves the session feeling accomplished and with more knowledge than they came in with.

I live in New York. I have been a tutor for three years and a teacher for elementary students for 10 years. My strengths are helping students understand concepts better by breaking them down step by step and rephrasing so that the student understands better.

About the lesson

My approach is to get to know a student by using a student interest questionnaire. Asking students what they need help with and giving them a voice. My teaching style is tactical, auditory, and visual approaches. My favorite digital tools include Pear deck, Near Pod, and Lesson Space.

I keep students motivated by keeping them engaged. As an educator, I direct and mentor the conversation to talk through misconceptions with the student.  Sometimes students feel broken down from being at school all day and now they have to do more work. They sometimes need confidence, mindfulness, and motivation. Students get burnt out just like adults and just need a reset.

About Kayla

My favorite subject in school was and is art. It was when I could most express myself, now it helps me connect to students.  The most challenging subject was math, and that’s why I understand how students need it explained in different ways and time to understand the concept. Students learn at their own pace.

I enjoy it when students get their “Ah ha” moment when it finally clicks. I also enjoy seeing students’ progress and enjoy what they are learning. My strengths are involving student interest in the lessons.

I have tutored students throughout my 20-year teaching career.  I started teaching in Rhode Island in 2004 before I moved to Central Florida.  I have taught science courses ranging from advanced placement and honors to non-honors classes.

About the lesson

I have taught biology, earth science, physics, and chemistry.  Biology is my favorite by far.  If learning is made fun, the student will learn.  I love to do hands-on activities that are actively engaging, like escape rooms and virtual field trips with my students.

I am familiar with tutoring in the area of science. I love science. I have tutored and taught in the area of Life science, biology, earth, space science, and physical and chemical sciences.  I also tutor AP classes.  It is changing and evolving because we continuously learn about the world around us.  The connection between science to daily life. In biology, we learn about our bodies. Chemistry can be connected with culinary arts and medicine. Physics fuses with areas like carpentry and construction.  Science is all around us all the time.

I enjoy getting a student to love learning when I tutor them.  I love to help them understand the material and become more confident in themselves and in the subject, we are working on. My strengths as a tutor are building confidence by connecting with my students and building a working relationship with them based on their interests and likes

The first thing I do when I get a new student gets to know them. I ask them about their interests and get a sense of how they learn visually or auditory.  Once we get to know each other, I design lessons and activities around their interests.  My teaching style depends on the students I am teaching.  I like to use active and hands-on lab activities, virtual escape rooms, and other fun learning games.

I can keep students motivated by connecting what we are doing to something they like and enjoy.  I get to know my students by learning about what makes them tick as individuals. Then I connect lessons to the students, making them mean something to their life and motivating them to learn.  As far as a challenging student, usually, students are challenged because they lack confidence. If you build a connection with the students, you won’t have a challenge.

About Michelle

My favorite subject in school was always science! I loved learning new things and doing the labs.  My biology teacher always made that class so much fun, and I am inspired to do that too.  I always looked forward to all my science classes.  Language arts was always a challenge for me. I had a hard time with spelling and grammar. It was challenging for me to express myself in writing in high school, but I got better as I went through college.

I am in Islamabad, Pakistan. I have been working as a tutor for the past three to four years, gaining valuable teaching experience in that time.

About the lesson

Most important to me is building a supportive learning environment. A low-stress and positive learning environment where students feel supported and encouraged to take risks and make mistakes. When students feel comfortable asking questions and expressing their thoughts and ideas without fear of judgment builds confidence. I pride myself on my encouraging and patient demeanor.

I have several favorite teaching strategies and tools. One of my favorites is to use real-world examples and applications to help students understand complex concepts. The use of visual aids and interactive tools, such as videos, diagrams, and simulations reinforce concepts. These not only help to make the subject matter more engaging, but students also see the practical applications of what they are learning.

To keep my students motivated, I set clear and achievable goals, incorporate fun and interactive activities, and provide positive feedback and encouragement. In the case of a challenging situation, I take a proactive approach to find the root cause of the problem and work to develop a plan to address it. This may involve breaking down the concept into smaller, more manageable pieces, and supplying other examples or resources.

About Aleena

My greatest strengths lie in my ability to connect with students on a personal level and create a supportive learning environment. I am patient, encouraging, and able to adapt my teaching style to meet the unique needs of each student. Additionally, I am skilled at breaking down complex topics into more manageable pieces, making it easier for students to understand and master challenging concepts. Each student learns differently, and I adapt methods to meet their needs. I strive to create a supportive and positive learning environment that encourages students to ask questions, make mistakes, and be active in learning.

I live in Miami, Fl. I have 10 years of teaching experience in elementary, high school, and college education.

About the lesson

I understand the student’s needs and strive to find the best approach to boosting their grades, self-esteem, and confidence. My strengths are patience, devotion, and explaining complex concepts to help a student gain success in the classroom. As an interactive and supportive tutor, I use technology to ensure that the learning experience is fun and informative.  I am a patient and dedicated tutor and always strive to create a warm and nurturing environment where students are comfortable and confident.

My approach in the first meeting is to get to know the student and understand them. I ask students questions about their strengths, weaknesses, learning style, time management skills, personality, interests, and goals. I have a calm teaching style when explaining a subject, the student is trying to understand. I build trust by showing genuine interest in their studies and coursework. I also encourage an open dialogue and listen to their experience. It is very beneficial, especially to those students who receive information by listening attentively. One of my favorite teaching strategies is for my students to make mistakes. It is our failures and mistakes that bring upon our greatest successes.

I keep students motivated using verbal praise for successful progress. Each student gets my attention to overcome challenging situations. By supplying positive feedback at once after the accomplishment, the student gains the confidence to achieve greater success.

About Joseph

I specialize in Math, English, Spanish, Sciences, and SAT prep courses. I am also an expert in tutoring study skills and test prep techniques. These subjects are interactive, and I enjoy helping my students achieve their academic goals.

I currently live in, Georgia, with my two little girls and with our crazy cat Koda. I have been a tutor for over 20 years. I have 19 years of teaching experience. I love the one-on-one experience with a student.

About the lesson

My approach with new students is to find a connection that allows them to open up. My teaching style is relational. I use pop culture and things that are relevant to students to connect learning with them. I love using web-based tools such as Nearpod, EdPuzzle, Quizziz, and Read Theory. I like to use comprehension strategies like Stop-Think-Paraphrase, chunking, and 20-word summary to help students with reading and writing.

I keep a student motivated by learning what interests them, then making connections with the work. If there is a challenging situation, I try to find the root cause and go from there. My goal is to meet kids where they are, and most of the time, the issues that arise have nothing to do with me. Sometimes, it is best to step away from the subject matter to assess what is going on.

About Anissa

My favorite subject in school was English because I loved to read. My most challenging subject was math because it never made sense to me.

I love teaching English and ELA because they cover all of my favorite subjects such as reading, literature, language, writing, poetry, etc. What is exciting about these subjects is the mere fact that I love reading. My passion is to help students to love to read and to help them find a genre that they love because once they do that, then they can write about their experience, and when that happens; it excites me. I love teaching Shakespeare the most!

The most important thing to me as a tutor is the relationship that I build with students, so they feel comfortable learning from me. My strengths as a tutor are my ability to connect with students and to meet students where they are.

I live in Orange County, CA. I have five years of professional experience as a tutor. I’ve tutored one on one and in a group setting. I primarily tutor in STEM fields, specifically Chemistry and Computer Science.

About the lesson

I prioritize getting to know a student and a sense of their interests and passions. I find that students are most willing to engage with challenging material when I can relate that material to their interests. I prefer to follow a growth mindset approach with my students and offer my students plenty of encouragement and validation as they work through challenges.

I set goals with my student and break down milestones we can celebrate together. When a student is dealing with a challenging situation, I try to relate to my student and brainstorm a solution together.

About Genesis

My favorite subjects in school were biology and chemistry because I appreciated having a deeper understanding of my body and how it works. My most challenging subject was history I had a hard time keeping track of all the dates.

I’m familiar with tutoring in Chemistry, Computer Science, English, and Math. I think Chemistry gives us a unique perspective of the world around us. Computer Science can shift the way you work with computers. English can introduce us to so many different worlds and Math can also give us a different way of looking at the world around us.

I enjoy seeing new information click for students. It is important my students feel supported, and I do my best to meet their specific learning style needs. My best intention is to make our learning material engaging and practice a growth mindset.

I currently live in Shanghai, China. I am a mathematics and computer science tutor with over four years of experience. My areas of expertise in mathematics include calculus, linear algebra, probability, and statistics. In computer science, I have extensive experience with Python and JavaScript.

About the lesson

The approach I take with new students is to assess their unique needs, goals, and learning styles. My teaching style emphasizes active learning and hands-on experience, encouraging students to ask questions and work through problems with my guidance. I believe making connections between concepts and real-world applications is essential for deepening understanding and keeping learners engaged.

I keep learners motivated by setting clear goals, celebrating successes, and supplying positive feedback. I use fun activities and real-world examples to increase engagement and motivation. When challenges arise, I approach them with empathy and open communication, trying to understand the student’s perspectives and working together to find a solution. By creating a supportive learning environment and positive relationships with the student, I believe we can overcome challenges together.

About Bat-Orgil

My favorite subjects in school were math and programming. I enjoyed the problem-solving aspects of these fields and loved the feeling of satisfaction that came with finding the right solution. However, I always struggled with language classes. I found it difficult to understand and apply the rules and concepts and often felt frustrated with my progress. Over time, I learned to appreciate the beauty and complexity of language and gained the confidence to express myself more effectively.

I have taught courses on algorithms, Introduction to Programming, Computer Architecture, and fundamental coding structures like class, inheritance, and OOP. I am comfortable teaching students at all levels, and I prioritize building a strong foundation of understanding while emphasizing logical reasoning and problem-solving skills.

I find tutoring rewarding as I watch students’ progress and success transform their lives. It is important for me to connect with each student and understand their needs, and have patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills.

I live in Texas. I have an MA in psychology and am currently pursuing an MA in counseling. I adapt the teaching method to cater to my student’s unique needs. As a tutor, the most important thing is to help students reach their goals of understanding and learning new material.

About the lesson

I believe in creating a good rapport with honest communication to nurture learning without a feeling of being judged. I motivate students by letting them know how well they are performing. This encourages them to remain focused and improve. If the student feels helpless, active learning is helpful to gauge their understanding. My teaching strategies include the use of videos, games, puzzles, crosswords, explanations, diagrams, and assessments.

I will encourage the students by letting them know that they have done a great job. I let them know that we both need to put in the effort to master the topic. I can also involve the parents and let them know to encourage their child. If there is inappropriate behavior, I will communicate with the student about their behavior and how it is affecting their learning process. Then create some ground rules to help the sessions go smoothly in the future.

I worked with students one on one and in groups of four to five. What is most exciting about these subjects is how students relate to the foundations of real-world functions. Using unique ways to teach these basic concepts to students develops a deep understanding. 

My strengths include patience when they reach a roadblock. Using my adaptability, I can shift methods depending on the individual needs of the student.  With empathy, I listen to the students’ concerns and encourage them to reach their goals.

About Claire

My favorite subject in school was English and language arts as I am passionate about great stories. I found mathematics challenging but was fortunate enough to have a wonderful tutor in my father so ultimately, I always succeeded in my tasks.

My strength is my background in the performing arts enabling me to create fun, creative as well as educational sessions.

I enjoy helping students grow and reach their goals. The most important thing to me as a tutor is that the student builds confidence and skills in themselves and their chosen subject. My strengths are creativity and helping students connect in a positive way to the material.

English, language arts, and performing arts. I love these subjects because we can relate the characters and themes to everyday life.

I live in Massachusetts. I enjoy reading and writing and want to share my love of these skills with all types of learners. English for me is the most critical subject. Students need to write well for writing essays in any subject. Comprehension is important for overall interaction in life.

About the lesson

The uniqueness of tutoring appeals to me the most. The ability to tailor learning to the individual student and ensure they enjoy and learn as much as possible. When meeting a new student, I familiarize myself with the student’s strengths and weaknesses. I then introduce reading and writing at their comprehension level, then build their skills from there. To keep a student motivated by using topics they enjoy a focus. If a challenging situation arises, I make sure the student is comfortable with changing topics. Then try to make sure they know what it is they find hard. Then guide them through easier exercises to see if they can understand the material.

About Daisy

My favorite subject in school was English. I found it easiest and the way we can create all different types of stories with many different formats with the same words. My least favorite subject was math. I’ve never been able to understand it. Part of it is my learning disabilities, but most of it is how confusing it can be.  

I live in Georgia. Over 20 years at the K-12 level with special education included. I enjoy tutoring because I get to help students understand how to solve mathematical problems in different ways. Help them to have a better understanding of the reading passage. The most exciting thing about math and ELA is that it’s the most important subject matter we use in real-life situations. I enjoy working with exceptional children that have Autism and other learning disabilities.

About the lesson

My approach in taking on new students is to find out their weaknesses. My teaching style is to be encouraging and helpful. There is never a stupid question or big mistake because in math we learn from our mistakes and other ways to solve problems. I am direct in my teaching methods.

Some of the strategies I use in tutoring are lesson objective transparency, experiential learning, addressing mistakes, modeling, and kinesthetic teaching. I keep my students motivated by making the subject goal fun and real-life learning scenarios. If I have a challenging situation; I would find the best method to teach for a more effective learning experience.

About David

My favorite subjects in school were math and ELA. My most challenging subject in school was learning a second language. I think it was more of a challenge due to the instructor.

My strengths are math and ELA at the elementary level. Basic math at the middle school level. Basic Math – in the Middle School and High School. Teaching Geometry and College Algebra at the high school level. Grade levels taught have been kindergarten up through 8th grade.

I live in East Texas. This is my 16th year as a certified teacher. My goal is to supply a positive educational experience for students. My charismatic approach to teaching is engaging and purposeful.

About the lesson

The subjects I focus on tutoring are Reading and Math. In my tutoring session with students, I use a high-interest student survey to learn more about who I am working with. Then I develop a pre-assessment of the content we will cover. I motivate students in a variety of ways, one is creating a paced calendar with goals and a daily agenda. Setting these daily expectations and closing out each lesson with the “favorite part of the session” develops intrinsic motivation. Students become intrinsically motivated to learn when they can successfully complete assignments.

Students below the second grade are often learning to read. Mastering learning to read is essential to the following academic years. In third grade and beyond the reading focus shifts to learning through reading. One of the strategies important to me as a tutor is pre-teaching academic vocabulary. This increases comprehension of content.

About Jessica

I did not like school at all. I work hard to be an advocate for fun learning and engaging activities- curriculum and essential skills + fun= successful students.

My strength as a tutor is assessment guides instruction. I use formative assessments during a lesson to find the momentum of a student from the start to the end of each lesson.

I live in Georgia. I have been a tutor now for six years. Starting out I worked with individual and group tutoring for college history, literature and composition, and biology. I expanded my horizons to K-12 math, ELA, and life science tutoring.

About the lesson

When taking on a new pupil, my first priority is to build rapport. I always think “If you can’t reach someone, you can’t teach someone”. I either administer a learning style assessment or have the student tell me their learning style before continuing with some diagnostic activities. Knowing a student’s learning style is essential to figuring out sustainable study skills. My approach to teaching is rife with games and discussions that encourage critical thinking and “real-world” applications of school standards. I like to think this interactive style keeps my students both entertained and motivated to learn more. In the face of adversity, I encourage my students to express themselves by being open to the idea that all challenges are surmountable.

About Kay

I vividly remember, as a child, being curious about every plant and animal around me. Naturally, science was my favorite subject from grade school and even into college. Math was always the most challenging for me because my cumulative knowledge of algebraic principles was not the strongest in elementary and middle school. With diligence and work ethic, though, I finally grasped arithmetic and grew to enjoy it!

Some of my strengths include empathy, attention to detail, and constant moral support. I enjoy seeing students gain insight and confidence as they master different topics. There is nothing more fulfilling than having them prove their critical thinking and logic skills after putting in such hard work. It is important that my students leave having self-efficacy, a growth mindset, and at least an appreciation for why education/ learning is important for their personal and professional goals. I foster this using my interpersonal skills, humor, zeal, and passion for life-long learning.

The subjects I tutor are social studies, especially world history, and civics. I believe grasping the significance of the past can help make for a productive future. Social studies always make for interesting Socratic seminars. I am also familiar with elementary and middle school science. Science teaches us to see the world around us and to also be healthily skeptical. I am biased towards science as it has always been my favorite subject, but I think this subject helps foster an appreciation for the physical world. Lastly, I am familiar with elementary and middle school math, especially algebraic principles. I find this subject interesting because it is the language of science, and it is like puzzle-solving equations!

About Marcy

I have a strong concern for giving back to the community and volunteering with various organizations involving both people and animals in need.

I live in Georgia. I have tutored elementary to higher-level education students for about five years. One of my strengths is my genuine concern for others. I’ve always been the type of person that enjoyed helping others become better versions of themselves or reach their goal.

About the lesson

When meeting new students, I first learn what they are good at and what they like. After I have a good understanding of their strengths, I take the time to learn about their weaknesses. Meeting a student where they are and scaffolding them up through the zones of learning. Many students today are comfortable with technology, I take advantage of educational games and videos to hold students’ attention and entertain them as they learn. Developing fun projects that require a lot of hands-on engagement allows students to apply what they have learned realistically.

I keep students interested by incorporating their interests into the learning material. In a challenging situation, I believe the resolution is to always make sure the students feel seen and understood. From there, they are generally more willing to be open to communicating their needs.

About Nina

Growing up, I always loved school. My favorite subject had always been math, but I enjoyed all the subjects. I had a hard time choosing a major because I could have been happy with any of them. My least favorite subject was ELA. While today I can appreciate the subject much more, as a kid, it felt tedious to have to learn about a language I was already able to speak.

I enjoy the process of watching someone improve over time. I believe even the smallest growth is an achievement toward reaching their goal. The most important thing as a tutor is to understand what interests and motivates students. Viewing them first as people with different strengths, weaknesses, and dreams helps me in my role to help them in getting to where they want to be in life. My strength in teaching comes from my determination to learn about each student individually as a person first. From there, I can understand their unique abilities and concerns and adjust my teaching to support and encourage them.

I have the most experience with math and writing. I love tutoring in math because many people view math as a challenging subject and feel most excited when I’m able to change that way of thinking. Writing is a creative outlet. Each person has a different written voice and a different way of explaining things. I get excited when a student begins coming into their writing voice and when their personalities are reflected through their writing.

I live in Texas. I have been tutoring neurodiverse and gifted students since 2009. I specialize in helping special ed students with ELA, study skills, and executive function development.

About Pamela

My favorite subject in school was psychology. Math was my biggest challenge due to falling behind. Today I use this experience and my love of psychology to be a life coach. I help people recover from trauma and promote awareness of how it negatively affects learning and cognitive processes.

My strengths are connecting and motivating students with low self-confidence, and anxiety or who have lost interest in learning. My specializations are English, essay writing, and study skills.

I live in Georgia. I have worked as a tutor for the last four years. My experience as a teacher is working with Pre-K students on how to write their names, and numbers, count, and read. In the afterschool program, I tutor students up to the fourth grade with their homework and school projects.

About the lesson

The subjects I tutor are math and reading. Using hands-on activities along, with the visual and verbal teaching styles, I can know what my student’s weaknesses and strengths are. Tools such as compare and contrast, write to learn, reading for meaning, moving around often, and allowing the student to teach me the topic allow the student to master each challenging topic. This style of motivation is my strength as a tutor. Establishing healthy boundaries with my students also allows them to clearly understand my expectations of them.

About Shequilla

My favorite subject was science because of the hands-on experiments. Math in high school was challenging because of fractions. They were difficult for me to understand, and this experience allows me to relate when my students are struggling.

My strengths as a tutor are trustworthiness, dedication, determination, discipline, enthusiasm, Trustworthiness, Respectful, Dedication, Determination, Discipline, Creativity, and a positive attitude. I love seeing kids learn something new and then receive the reward of good grades. It is important for me to keep communication open with students, parents, and guardians.
