I have prior experience working at my school's writing center to assist 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. In addition to my experience, standardized testing has always been a forte of mine. I am enthusiastic about...

Hi, I'm Lily. I'm a recent graduate of Reed College, originally from Southern California. I wrote my senior thesis in English on magic and politics in the medieval Welsh "The Four Branches of the Mabinogi." Aside from reading medieval literature (and other non-medieval books), I love to ride horses, eat good food, and hike with my dog, Beau. I am also involved in theatre, and am currently working with a Shakespeare company in the Portland...

...all ages from elementary schoolers to adults at the non-profit program Safe Place: Homework Help. A particular highlight of mine is the summer I spent teaching English to adults as a certified ESL assistant at the International Education Center in downtown Minneapolis.

...education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My strongest academic interests are languages and...

Hello, I'm Dennis. I study physics, math, and computer science. I have done research about cosmic ray acceleration at supernova shock fronts in the Princeton University Department of Astrophysics, simulating how the turbulent plasmas push protons and ions. I have also worked at the Norfolk State University Department of Engineering, designing, simulating, optimizing, and building light filters for wavelength-division optical-electronic multiplexers. Another field I study is the mathematics of quasicrystals and aperiodic tilings, such as...

I graduated from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor) with a BA in Classical Civilizations. After graduation, I have worked as a classical languages, writing, and literature tutor, teaching students ranging from middle schoolers to doctoral candidates.

First and foremost, I have an undying love for Star Wars that began and has been nurtured since I was eight. I own approximately 200 Expanded Universe books and comics, and far too much memorabilia. I also play professional ultimate frisbee. I've...

Hi there! If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also...

...As a result, I have a lot of experience to draw upon when explaining mathematical, scientific, and technological concepts. For example, one project I've worked on recently involves the construction, wiring, and programming of a small robot for the purpose of terrain navigation. The knowledge that this project drew upon extended from mathematical concepts of sets and matrices to physical concepts of electricity flow and balance to language concepts of proper technical report writing and...

...realize I was born to be a teacher, particularly after the stellar example in Dr. King of what a teacher can mean in a child's life. Other people predicted a teaching career for me as early as high school, and I knew I wanted to work with young people, but I had to thrash around for years trying other disciplines before I could see the obvious. I was a perpetual student for a long time,...

I first started tutoring as a freshman in college. I volunteered with a group that met at a local church and helped children with their schoolwork while their parents took classes at the church. I worked with middle school children and helped them with math and reading. Later, one of my professors asked me to tutor his friend's college-age grandson in chemistry. We met for several hours a night, two to three nights a week,...
