Widely published editorialist teaches essay-writing
I bring 20+ years of coaching and editing staff writers in American newsrooms as well as 15 years as a professional journalist, for which I shared the 2014 Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Writing. I coach high school as well as college students in all forms of nonfiction: from the personal essay to thesis-level arguments. Separately, I engage adults on book-length memoir-writing projects. My process is simple: It's all about sorting through, narrowing and sharpening the idea before writing. Word... Read more

Singing for Actors, Acting for Singers
I have over 35 years' experience with individuals and groups at middle school, high school, college and adult levels--including professional--with a Master's Degree in Vocal Performance. My performing career has included opera, music theater, jazz, symphonic work and acting in Germany, Canada and the U.S. I've worked with emerging singer-songwriters who've gone on to do professional work. Looking deeply into the interpretation of words and how to express them in music is a particular foc... Read more
Jerry
Experienced college math teacher
I have been teaching at Reed College since 1989 and now am looking to do some tutoring beyond that venue in anticipation of retiring soon. In light of my work experience, probably I am best suited for now to work with advanced high school students or college students, or with precocious younger students. My teaching method starts with trying to find the student's points of strength and understanding, and then building on those to address challenges or difficulties. I enjoy helping peop... Read more
Frank
Math and Physics tutor with Engineering PhD
I have tutored physics and math students since I was in college, with most of my emphasis on introductory physics courses for students in other departments (e.g. pre-med), and undergraduate math classes, especially single-variable calculus. In addition, I have tutored high school calculus and other math classes. I love working through problems with students and seeing when they grasp the methods and are able to apply them to solve new problems. I enjoy working with students at all stages, ... Read more

The Best Study Strategies in Tough Subjects from an Honors Grad
I have worked as a graphic designer and Photoshop artist for many companies and private clients. I have knowledge from CS3 to CC. The best way to learn Photoshop is through hands-on exploration, so I like to act as a guide more than a tutor! Read more

Help for your math needs!
I've had experience teaching and tutoring math as a grad student in math, and currently work as a math tutor at the community college. It's been very gratifying to take students who are struggling with math to the point where they are crying and get them to feel better about their progress. I try hard to prepare students not just for the class they're currently taking, but also give them a good background for future math classes. One of the stumbling blocks for some students is simple lack o... Read more

Susan
M.Ed/Retired experienced and patient teacher (online only)
As a retired high school math teacher, I have over 23 years of classroom experience helping students make sense of math. I quickly assess why a particular topic or problem is confusing for each individual. Sometimes it only takes a session or two to make math come into focus for a person. Other students may need ongoing support or someone they know will be available when they get a particularly difficult assignment. It gives me great satisfaction when students achieve self-confidence. I h... Read more
