Ronda
Special Education Teacher specialized in elementary academics
I am a licensed special education teacher with six years of experience working in elementary schools among mild/moderate populations. My experience has been in working with all areas of reading and writing as well as mathematics. In my work as a special education teacher, I have found that students tend to gain a deeper level of understanding of the academic concept if they are engaged and attentive. To that end, I always have enjoyed coming up with methods to bring about an interest for m... Read more
Soledad
Native speaker, BA in Education, AP Spanish test preparation
Hi, I am Solei, native from Chile. My love for books and intellectual discussions led me to study Literature at the Universidad de Santiago, Chile. I have a B.A. in Education and Hispanic American Literature. I started teaching at schools right after graduation, but in 1991 I left the country and moved to New York City. One of my firsts jobs in NYC was at the Spanish Institute Reina Sofia, where I taught Spanish as a second language for several years. In 1995 I was hired for the positio... Read more
Simon
Industry Professional Specializing in Computer Science Concepts
Hey there, I'm Simon! I graduated cum laude with my Bachelor's in Computer Science, and went on to do five years of object-oriented software development and consultation with an additional two years of documentation and training in a corporate setting. As a consultant, a critical part of creating trust and rapport with a client is the ability to explain yourself in layman's terms and create a foundation of mutual understanding. My particular knack for this was a key component in why I elec... Read more
Ben
Tutor specializing in Test Prep
My name is Ben and I'm an aspiring psychologist interested in learning and memory research. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and have spent several years evaluating test preparation strategies at the University of Colorado, the Community College of Denver, and the Community College of Aurora. I believe that successful learning strategies separate what we already know from what we need to learn. Exercises should identify gaps in knowledge and selectively bridge those gaps without fo...

Trevor
Utilizing Proven Learning & Study Strategies for Student Success
From my nine years of experience tutoring, I believe that student success is not related to ability, but gaps in strategies that students use to learn the material. My approach to tutoring is developing strategies for students to take charge of their learning. Often called metacognitive strategies, students that work with me will be able to understand their own thought processes and learn any course material. My nine years of tutoring experience has ranged from biology, chemistry, economics,... Read more
Philip
Conversational English Teacher with 5 years experience.
I began teaching English in 2009. My prior experience had been as an office worker. I taught in S Korea until my return to the USA in 2014. My primary emphasis as an English teacher was in conversational classes where students were allowed and encouraged to speak their minds in an open environment for common situations. I have variously taught grammar, reading, and writing extensively as well. I still have a dozen textbooks that I brought back with me. I am ready and accessible for all l... Read more
Richard
Experienced chemistry, math tutor
I'm Ricky, a student at the California Institute of Technology. I have tutored individually for private families for the past four years, primarily at the high school level, and all of my students have been very successful at becoming more interested in and comfortable with the topic. For each individual I have tutored, they have reported increasing their grade in the subject by at least one full letter grade throughout the course of the semester. I enjoy the actual process of meeting, lea... Read more

Matthew
Knowledgeable and Patient Math Tutor
The journey that has taken me to have an interest in tutoring has been a winding one indeed. I was an extremely successful student, and I earned a full scholarship to the University of Arkansas. I scored a 34 on my ACT, and I had a 4.33 and 3.92 GPA in high school and college, respectively. In short, I was a very successful student in high school and college. I was a business major, and went into the business world for several years, but I didn't find much joy or purpose to my job. That'... Read more
Dante
Language Tutor: English, Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew
I am a well traveled graduate of New York University whose many passions include languages of all varieties. Having spent an extensive amount of time abroad (in Argentina, Morocco, Israel and Japan among others) I know the difficulties of language-learning firsthand. With a bachelor's degree in Linguistic Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies, I also know some of the best ways to overcome those difficulties, as I have become intimately engaged with the intricacies of second language acquisi...
