...first-year students with college-level essays. I have also captained an award-winning collegiate mock trial team for several years, which involves mentoring younger students in oral and written communication skills.

If you are seeking a patient, energetic, and articulate tutor for your student, please reach...

...spent four years as a sportswriter and columnist in Los Angeles. I have worked with students of all ages from kindergarten to adulthood and am a staunch believer that it is never too late to fall in love with learning any subject (even math!). My approach to tutoring is the same way I approach training for a sport. If you are willing to put in the effort, you will get better (and if you're doing...

My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

...private tutoring companies, UC Berkeley, UC Berkeley's Summer Bridge Program, and as a freelance political science/calculus tutor (there's more overlap than you think). In 2014, my paper "Set Theory and Fuzzy Sets: Their Relationship to Natural Language" was published in the Newsletter of the American Political Science Association Organized Section for Qualitative and Multi-Method Research. I'm fond of good food and bad puns. In my free time, I wish I had more free time.... My goal...

...fellow classmates throughout college in a variety of subjects; I have tutored biology, physics, math, history, chemistry, and ecology. My teaching method is to make complex ideas more relative to simple concepts and everyday life. I believe that making connections to concepts while learning is the easiest way to grasp a subject. I enjoy all sports with an emphasis in basketball, baseball, football, soccer, and tennis. I played all of these sports in high school...

...in a charter school, as a private English tutor in Madrid, and with both private and non-profit academic support and enrichment programs. Over the years I've taught just about every subject.

(In my experience this is often math or standardized tests, but I also love to tutor writing and general study skills.) In...

...majors. In graduate school, I focused on grammar, style, and different types of genres: essays, business writing, grant writing, technical writing, long-form types of writing, and even creative writing. My interests outside my professional life still feed into and enrich my job. I am an aspiring writer in creative nonfiction, novels, short stories, and essays, and I am moving into technical writing with also a deep knowledge of technical subjects that are in high-demand in...

...touches on a paper and in need of help revising and editing, I am here to assist and encourage in any way possible. I believe in developing a student's skills over a period of time, rather than simply providing the short term answers simply to achieve an immediate grade. Writing is a skill we develop over the course of our lives, always learning and improving, and it is a skill we will always need, whether...

...and science courses. I also volunteered on a weekly basis at a local community center to provide homework and study help to students. I have also helped students study and prepare for the PSAT and SAT math sections. It is my belief that, in addition to the raw information presented, math and science courses teach crucial analytical skills that can be utilized by anyone in whichever path of life they choose to pursue. For this...

I am particularly interested in educating and researching events surrounding the marginalization and persecution of people of different creeds, colors and situations in the hopes that it will illuminate similarities in present times. Through this I hope to find a position that allows me to educate future generations and...

If it seems that I might...

...Cuesta College and worked there as a one one one tutor for their DSPS department. Currentlty I am a student at Mills College. I am experienced with students of all ages and subjects, though the humanities are my greatest strength.
