Christopher
Algebra Tutor • +7 Subjects
I am a current student at Rutgers University on track to major in Electrical Engineering. I tutor a wide range of math from elementary level up to high school and college. This range includes algebra, trigonometry, pre-calc and calculus. I have had many experiences through my high school and outside work at kumon learning centers in tutoring. I love helping students not only learn the material themselves, but being able to know it well enough that they can teach it themselves, achieving my goal of getting students to work autonomously without required help. The many interests I have outside of the classroom includes playing basketball, running, video games, and computer programming.

Amy
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a B.A. in French and a diploma in Business French from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris. I also speak Greek, Italian, and Spanish.I have worked as a private tutor in the area of foreign languages, essay writing, and a variety of other subjects for more than a decade. In that time, I have witnessed the difficulties many students have when learning something that seems unfamiliar, uninteresting, or just makes no sense. Seeing this, I believe it is my responsibility to be a positive influence by ensuring that all my students do well and understand the material. For example, with French, I always give them a brief English grammar lesson beforehand which helps tremendously boost their confidence level as the foreign gradually becomes familiar.I am truly excited about working with students and encouraging them to excel. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a student conquer his/her fears and expressing him/herself in a way he/she never thought possible. I work with each student’s specific needs in a patient yet firm manner. I also exhibit determination, empathy, and humor to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Most importantly, I am personable and understanding and believe that brings me closer to helping my students.In my free time, I love cooking Mediterranean/Greek cuisine and would love to open a restaurant one day. I also write poetry, short stories, etc. and am currently working on my first novel. Lastly, I adore knitting and crocheting cute, fashionable clothes and accessories for girls.
Gabrielle
AP Biology Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am recent graduate of Binghamton University, with a Bachelor of Sciences in Biology. I am deeply committed to the value of education, and believe that learning is a gift and an opportunity for growth that should be available to everyone. For this reason, I am passionate about tutoring and helping students, so that everyone is able to not only do well in school, but to fall in love with learning in the process. Anyone can enrich themselves through learning. This is the foundation of my teaching philosophy: in addition to emphasizing results and academic achievement, I believe it is integral to find an individual approach to each student and to focus first and foremost on teaching students to study in a way that is effective and engaging. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in all subjects. In my free time, I like to go running, practice dance, learn new languages, and play ping-pong.

Anna
ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.
Catherine
Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects
Hello! My name is Catherine Raj and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience in 2022. Since 2015, I have tutored children from ages 3-16 in areas of math and reading, as well as their school curriculum. Apart from tutoring here, I have worked for the Kumon Learning Center as a teaching instructor for 5 years. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I have years of experience with tutoring young children in math and reading, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, phonics, reading comprehension, and much more. I connect with elementary and middle school students very well, as I believe in understanding children in order to give them a fulfilling tutoring experience. I also very much enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra as those are my favorite math subjects, as well as my best! My students and I have always had a deeper level of understanding beyond the books and I pride my style of teaching on that aspect.

Frequently Asked Questions
The subjunctive mood is one of the biggest hurdles for advanced Spanish students because it requires understanding not just grammar rules, but the speaker's intent and attitude—something that doesn't exist in English. A tutor can break down the key triggers (doubt, desire, emotion, impersonal expressions) with targeted practice, then move you from mechanical conjugation drills to natural usage in conversation. This personalized approach helps you internalize when and why to use subjunctive, rather than just memorizing rules.
Many 12th graders struggle with preterite vs. imperfect because both describe the past, but they serve different purposes—preterite for completed actions, imperfect for ongoing or habitual ones. A tutor can use real-world examples and narrative practice to help you feel the difference intuitively: "I was walking (imperfect) when I saw (preterite) my friend." With consistent 1-on-1 practice, you'll develop the instinct to choose correctly without overthinking.
In most 12th Grade Spanish classes, speaking time is limited—you might get a few minutes per class while 30 other students wait their turn. A tutor provides dedicated conversation practice where you're speaking the entire session, making mistakes safely, and getting immediate feedback on pronunciation and natural phrasing. This consistent speaking practice is what builds actual fluency; research on language learning shows that speaking time is the strongest predictor of conversational ability.
12th Grade Spanish vocabulary goes beyond basic nouns and verbs—you're learning abstract concepts, literary terms, and specialized vocabulary for essays and discussions. A tutor can help you use spaced repetition and retrieval practice (testing yourself over time) rather than cramming, and connect new words to themes you're studying in class. They can also show you how to use context clues and word roots to expand vocabulary naturally, rather than memorizing isolated lists.
By 12th grade, you're not just learning grammar—you're reading literature, analyzing films, and understanding regional differences across Spanish-speaking countries. A tutor can provide cultural immersion-style learning by discussing why certain expressions exist, how history shapes language use, and what's considered appropriate in different contexts. This deeper understanding helps you read between the lines in literature and speak more authentically, not just grammatically correctly.
By 12th grade, you've likely picked up some pronunciation habits that are hard to break on your own. A tutor can identify specific sounds you're mispronouncing (like the Spanish 'r' or the distinction between 'z' and 'c'), explain the mouth position needed, and give you targeted practice with immediate correction. Regular 1-on-1 feedback is far more effective than classroom corrections, and helps you develop the muscle memory for authentic pronunciation.
AP Spanish requires mastery of all four skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—at a high level, plus cultural knowledge. A tutor can help you practice the specific exam formats (like the free-response essay and conversation simulations), teach you time-management strategies for timed sections, and focus on your weakest areas. They can also help you develop a natural, sophisticated speaking voice for the oral exam, which goes beyond classroom preparation.
Even advanced students sometimes hesitate with ser (permanent/identity) versus estar (location/condition/emotion) because the rules overlap in ways that don't translate to English. A tutor can use consistent examples and practice to help you internalize the distinction—"Soy ingeniero" (I am an engineer, permanent identity) vs. "Estoy cansado" (I am tired, temporary condition)—and explain why certain phrases use one verb over the other. With targeted practice, it becomes automatic rather than a mental checklist.
