Award-Winning ACT Tutors in Kirkland, WA

...an undergraduate at the University of Washington. As a tutor, I believe that test preparation is a solvable problem, and I am excited about using my solutions to help students achieve their goals. Preparing for a standardized test can feel overwhelming. But you really can be prepared. Careful, concept-oriented preparation can help ensure that students don't run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need...

...of Cincinnati. I plan on attending law school in the near future, but I have always enjoyed teaching. I started tutoring during my junior year of high school, finding that I had an aptitude for analogies that helped students learn the material. I tutor a large variety of subjects, including LSAT, SAT, and ACT. I also tutor various academic subjects, primarily in the fields of math and science. My favorite subject to tutor is Chemistry,...

...in a very excited way. Her enthusiasm and passion were contagious. She taught me to be excited about the topic I'm teaching. After I transferred to university, I signed up for a Women Writers class. The class required a great deal of reading and it was difficult to keep up. Yet nearly every class I remember hearing my professor say things like, "As I was reading this last night" or "last night I was looking...

...find motivation in the field of mathematics, as many of my teachers didn't spend enough time supporting me and their other students. Only in high school did I grow very interested in math, as my teachers set enough time aside to discuss the material and to further student interest through math's wide-reaching applications. This success follows me through the advanced math classes I have taken such as Calculus and Linear Algebra. Thus, I believe that...

...degree in Ecology and Organismal Biology. I believe that hard work, curiosity and an open mind are the keys to lifelong learning. Often the journey to academic success is not a solo one, and I am grateful for the opportunity to share what I know in a way that inspires and educates students. My passion for education stems from a desire to become more aware of the world around me and to help others do...

...many students. My method of breaking down problems into their bare elements and working from there helps prevent students from shutting down because they have no idea what to do when they see a new problem. While I am here to help students do better in their classes I am also here as a mentor for schooling in general. I am always willing to help out with students who need more help outside of their...

...Seattle with a B.A. in History. Starting September of 2014 I will begin my studies as a J.D. student at the University of Washington School of Law. In the meantime, I work as a legal assistant at a law firm in downtown Seattle. My academic passions include History, Philosophy, Literature, French, Latin, and Psychology. I particularly enjoy tutoring students in any subject that involves reading and writing, particularly composing and editing essays and other written...

...Bellevue, WA. I received a competitive, full ride(tuition, room, and board) to Emory University where I studied Physics and Applied Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in scores are caused...

...Washington Seattle for high school math. I enjoy teaching math to my students, but I mainly like to focus on helping my students develop independent study skills that will support them through life. What this means is building up the analytical skills that they will need to prepare and study for assignments and tests when they're going to go to college. There's only so much one can do in teaching the content that we also...

...I earned by Bachelor's Degree in Biology. I have experience working with students from the kindergarten level to undergraduates at universities. I tutor English, writing, science, study methods, and mathematics. When working with new students, the first thing I always do is try to understand how each student learns because each individual is different and everyone learns in a unique way. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, reading, writing, and playing badminton.... I will find...

...University of Washington who is currently applying to medical schools all over the country. My collegiate studies have enabled me to feel confident in my abilities to tutor life sciences, ranging from human anatomy, biology, environmental science and ecology to biochemistry and physiology. In preparing for and taking the Medical College Admissions Test (MCAT), widely considered to be the most rigorous of graduate school exams, I further strengthened my abilities in verbal exams, critical reading,...

...writing as a way to explore their thoughts and ideas. I also love to see the process of learning a new language at the early stages, which is often when a student begins to think critically about language for the first time. When I'm not working or reading, I try to travel as much as I can. I grew up partly in Costa Rica, studied in Spain, and worked in France. More recently, I have...

...school, I enjoy volunteering in medical outreach events, partaking in biomedical research, and tutoring students to help them succeed! My passion for tutoring and teaching began back in elementary school. As a kid, I excelled in mathematics and often found myself helping other students understand the material. Students from a young age would describe how my teaching methodology made "so much more sense" than the way their actual teacher described. As I tutored fellow classmates,...

...in Environmental Biology. I first started tutoring during my gap year between high school and college when I helped build a local tutoring service with a friend. Even though that tutoring service is no longer operational, I continued to tutor students throughout my time at Columbia. As a tutor, I understand that each student is unique. Instead of doing to same routine, I like to develop a tutoring strategy that caters to each students' strengths...

...all about the "design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to...

...love to help students connect the dots, enabling them to master the material and themselves as they improve their study skills and self-confidence. I have worked with students of all ages in a variety of subjects and settings, from all backgrounds in this country and others. I have found, consistently, that the best way to connect is to be genuine and sincere with enthusiasm for the material and compassionate consideration for the learner. It is...

...can remember. I started my career as an educator as a volunteer one-on-one reading tutor when I was still in high school and, ever since then, have gained a wealth of teaching experience with students of diverse backgrounds. I have worked with students as young as third grade up to learners that already have college degrees. My background as a 9th grade English teacher has given me the opportunity to work with students from low-income...

...pursue my interests in education here. The prospect of a career in education has appealed to me since I entered college. As an undergraduate at a liberal arts college, I found it easy to establish relationships with professors because they led my discussion and lab sections, much in the way that high school teachers interact with their pupils. This level of involvement between student and teacher appealed to me and I entered the academic training...

...I double minored, however, in both Religious Studies and Anthropology & Sociology. I guess you could say that I like to keep my studies well-rounded. Since then, I have taken some classes in Teaching English as a Second Language (TESOL). I was also certified with a Corporate English Training Specialization. I have worked with a large variety of student populations. I taught swimming lessons to students aged preschool through adults for seven years. I worked...
