Mara
Writing Tutor for Elementary/High School/ College
Writing shouldn't feel like getting teeth pulled at the dentist. Or picking paper shreds out of the grass with a garbage grabber. (I've done that—it's no fun, believe me.) Maybe it feels like that for you now, but I hope to help you find ways to find words much less painfully. My name is Mara, and I graduated magna cum laude from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Literature, and a minor in Education. I am now working towards a masters in Book Publishing at PSU. Writing has been my passion since I... Read more

Ashley
College Grad with an English Degree
I am a college graduate with a degree in English literature. This means I have lots of experience with reading, writing, proofreading, and editing essays. I completed two years of a credential program for teaching when I realized I wanted to do my individualized teaching/instructing, and left the credential program. If there is one thing that I have learned in my life so far - it is that each person has a different learning style, and I will try my best to work with you and develop a meth... Read more
Tammy
Experienced Tutor Specializing in Math for All Ages
I'm a Mechanical Engineer with five years of working experience who has always been drawn to helping others understand math and physics. This started in high school when I helped two of my closest friends gain a better understanding for physics. I am a big believer that different people learn in different ways, and I enjoy figuring out how to adjust the concept to the student rather than the other way around. By far my greatest passion and understanding lies in mathematics, though I am happy ... Read more

Patient tutor that LOVES math!
I have been tutoring elementary students since I was in middle school. I continued tutoring 5th graders in math and reading throughout high school as an elective class. I also participated as an outdoor school counselor for 3 years at a local elementary school. This involved creating and participating in games, puzzles, and outdoor science lessons. This was a great way to take learning to a whole new level. In high school, while taking AP Calculus, I even tutored a few students in my same c... Read more
