...Science and Engineering at the university where I have taken courses to gain knowledge in a wide variety of subjects, such as calculus courses, physics, chemistry, programming (python), french, and writing courses. Additionally, I took many AP classes throughout high school which enabled me to enter college with over 30 credits already completed. I have spent two years tutoring in the past and have gained experience learning how to work best with struggling students. I...

...love to breakdance, write poetry, debate politics and economics, and participate in practically every nerdy endeavor possible (huge Star Wars fan!!). I love to talk and will talk your ear off if you let me! I love trying new things, exploring the city, and traveling. My teaching philosophy is that teaching is a responsibility and a privilege; I'll put 110% into teaching if you put the same effort into learning. With hard work and patience,...

...of anxiety when I was a junior in high school and I want to help other students through this process. This desire brought me to tutor kids in the local Boston high schools while I was in college and now I have taken my talents to the Twin Cities. Some fun facts about me not related to test taking are that I played the sousaphone in college, I sing in a local choir and that...

...Minnesota in 2008. After graduating, I lived abroad in Guatemala for over three years where I was a teacher and a columnist for a magazine. I have taught literature, English, Spanish, math, study skills (including designing a very successful study skills program), ACT test prep and leadership. Typically, students that I work with show immediate gains in their subject area. Students I work with will work hard--but we will also have a good time and...

...I've also traveled overseas and spent six years living in Germany. I studied Photography at the Cleveland Institute of Art and have a Master's of Fine Art in Public Art and New Artistic Strategies from the Bauhaus in Weimar, Germany. Working as a fine artist is an excellent way to indulge my interest in a variety of subjects from the role of free speech in society to the history of suburban development. I enjoy tutoring...

...on my theater blog. I love to travel and another goal is to take an international trip this year, to Africa. My full time job is in marketing for a construction company. This has helped me gain some perspective on how hard it can be to learn new subjects you are unfamiliar with. I am constantly learning new things every day from people with completely different skill sets than me, and it's fascinating to work...

...and I love sharing my passion for learning with others. I find that any student can succeed when they feel valued by an attentive, enthusiastic, and patient teacher. I am creative and enjoy thinking from several viewpoints, which allows me to engage students of all learning styles. Although I tutor a variety of subjects, I especially love English, Literature, and Shakespeare because those subjects allow me to engage students in discussions where I learn just...

Essay got you down? Nervous about the English or Reading sections of the ACT? Having trouble understanding the novel you're reading for class? Worry no more! I can help you with all of that. I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in English from the University of Utah with a focus on narrative studies. I am currently pursuing an M.A. in Education from Augsburg College. My hobbies include rock climbing, attending concerts, playing soccer, and writing...

...as daycare facilities, summer school programs, and school environments. These settings have given me the opportunity to experience working with students from various cultures and backgrounds. The students I have worked with range in grade levels from elementary school all the way through college. I tutor in English, Art, Phonics, Reading, Social Studies, Social Sciences, Writing, essay editing, some test prep, and, of course, Psychology. I feel that my strengths lie in the areas of...

...After college, I headed to The Ohio State University where I earned a Ph.D. in cognitive psychology with a specialization in college teaching. While I was a graduate student, I taught general psychology and ACT prep courses and scored ACT and SAT writing exams. Thanks to my education, I am an expert in psychology, reading, writing, and general scientific literacy. As a teacher and a tutor, I have worked with students ranging from children to...

...reach their full potential both academically and personally. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Theology from Creighton University and a Master of Arts in Education from Saint Mary's University. I am interested in a wide range of subjects, but I am most passionate about theology and history. I truly believe that given the proper tools, assistance, and personal motivation every student can succeed academically. As both a teacher and a tutor, I am determined...

...tutoring for standardized tests, specifically the ACTs. I think that having a great tutor can make such a difference in someone's life. Education is so important and having a tutor there to assist you in all your learning goals can make such a difference for a scholar. Outside of tutoring, I love to play soccer, run, play cricket, cook and learn about urban history. I make our tutoring sessions personal and fun to make sure...

...students multiple opportunities to develop their creativity and communication, leadership, and management skills that will be necessary throughout their lives. As an educator who spent 10 years teaching English as a foreign language in Japan and Macedonia, it is my goal to teach English as a means to have students think more critically about their own identity, the identities of others, social, cultural, and global issues rather than merely as a subject to read, write,...

...earning a Masters degree in Peace and Justice. I am trained a political scientist and historian and have experience in tutoring a myriad of subjects, especially those in the humanities. I tend to like to keep sessions casual when possible-- I don't want to lecture you. I'm a strong believer that concepts are best grasped when you form your own opinions and feelings about the subject, and that happens with conversation! So, let's get to...

I wish to help students reach their full potential. Throughout a child's natural development, they may run into academic challenges. I want to be an effective role model that encourages curiosity and dedication towards education. Whatever it may look like such as becoming a life long learner like myself, or any short term goals such as passing a class or a standardized test. I look forward to meeting you!

...confidence that will help them academically and/or artistically, and more broadly in their lives. I offer knowledge, experience, supportive challenge, and the mentorship students need to achieve their goals and potential. I encourage my students to "make it their own" by nurturing a feeling of ownership and accountability in the learning process. I feel it is important to have integrity and "walk the walk" as a teacher; thus I am committed to my own ongoing...

The key to tutoring is taking a fact or idea and making it relevant, not simply on a global level, but on an individual one as well. This means not only asking the question, "How is this idea relevant to the modern day?" but also to pose to your student, "How is this relevant to you, to your individual life?" When one does the latter, one not only cultivates an intellect, but cultivates a relationship...

...they have so they can tackle them straight on without any fears or second thoughts. I have a bachelors degree in Political Science from the University of Puerto Rico. Specialized in world history, international relations, US Government and I also tutor Spanish. One of my biggest strengths when working with young students is my ability to be patient and adapt to the student and keeping a consistent pace. Also I encourage my students to be...

I have taught these students in a wide range of subjects including Accounting, Math, English, Reading, Writing, Science, Social Studies, Essay Writing, Hindi, and Finance.

...backgrounds; I volunteered teaching primary school subjects to children from Somalia in a local housing community and last summer I taught a diverse set of students with differing English skills about environmental science. Besides having a background in STEM, I also have a personal passion for literature, English, and editing. I've refined my skills as a science staff writer for our University newspaper. Although I don't believe in standardized tests as a measure of knowledge,...
