Caitlin

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +36 Subjects

I am a rising senior at Duke University who is Pre Med and majoring in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. I was born and raised in Miami FL and went to public school until college (Sunset Elementary, GW Carver Middle and Coral Reef Senior High for those from Miami). I decided to start tutoring because I would not be on this path had I not had good teachers supporting me along the way. For that reason I want to be able to help others achieve their goals without academics being a huge hurdle.

Hillel

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +47 Subjects

I am currently working on publishing my honors senior thesis on Antarctic ice sheet dynamics in a scientific journal. Outside of academia, I enjoy performing as an actor on the stage and screen. I am passionate about carrying artistic endeavors alongside academic pursuits. I tutor a wide array of academic subjects, and I am most excited about tutoring students in Earth Science, writing and reading skills, Algebra 2, Calculus at all levels, and Physics. I also enjoy tutoring for the ACT and AP exams (humanities and sciences). As a tutor, I am dedicated to effective scientific communication; I believe strong written and oral communication are as essential to the sciences as the mathematical and scientific concepts at the core of each scientific discipline. Scientific communication is particularly important critical when equipping students with the tools necessary to combat climate change and its adverse effects.

Richard

12th Grade math Tutor • +56 Subjects

I am currently a PhD candidate at Northwestern University, studying microbiology and public health (my two biggest passions). I received my Bachelor of Science with high honors from Emory University in 2011, where I double-majored in Biology and Spanish. During my time at Emory, I studied abroad in Australia working on barrier reef and rainforest ecology, and studied in Spain mastering my Spanish language skills. I can read and write Spanish with high proficiency and have tutored Spanish speakers, and received highest scores on the AP Spanish exam with listening. My favorite academic subjects are math and science, and I have received perfect scores on a variety of standardized math exams, including SAT I math, SAT II math IIC subject test, BC calculus AP exam, and the GRE quantitative exam. In addition to tutoring mathematics at all levels, I enjoy tutoring grammar and mechanics, and editing essays. I received the Carlos C. Rojas Excellence in Writing Award from Emory University, and have served on the editorial board for Emory University's undergraduate research journal, as well as have authored peer-reviewed manuscripts at Northwestern University. I have lectured to undergraduate students at Northwestern University in cell biology, and have taught English as a Second Language (ESL) in both a classroom setting and one-on-one. I have a very diverse background of knowledge and have worked in a variety of settings, both academic and in industry, and can meet any of your tutoring needs. I am a very patient person with excellent communication and listening skills who will take the time to get to know each of my tutees. After identifying and recognizing a tutee's own strengths and weaknesses, I can tailor a unique tutoring plan to help each student exceed his or her goals. Hobbies: writing, hiking, reading, cooking, traveling, music, art, travel, books

Frequently Asked Questions

The speaking section requires rapid-fire responses to prompts with minimal preparation time, which is where many students struggle. Tutors work with you on real-time conversation skills, teaching you how to organize thoughts quickly, use varied verb tenses naturally, and recover smoothly from mistakes without losing fluency. Practice with recorded responses and detailed feedback on pronunciation, intonation, and coherence helps you build the confidence and muscle memory needed to perform under pressure on test day.

AP Spanish reading passages test both vocabulary recognition and deep comprehension of nuanced cultural and literary texts. Tutors teach you how to identify main ideas quickly, distinguish between explicit and implicit information, and recognize rhetorical devices—skills that go beyond simple translation. They also help you develop a system for tackling unfamiliar vocabulary in context and managing time effectively across multiple passages, so you're not spending too long on one question.

The AP Spanish writing tasks require you to synthesize information from multiple sources (audio, reading, and personal knowledge) while maintaining academic Spanish. Tutors help you structure essays with clear thesis statements, develop arguments with specific evidence from sources, and write with grammatical accuracy and appropriate register. They provide feedback on common mistakes like anglicized sentence structures, verb tense inconsistencies, and weak transitions—areas where even advanced Spanish speakers often lose points.

Listening comprehension is challenging because you hear authentic Spanish at natural speed with no repetition, and you must understand cultural references, accents, and rapid speech patterns. Tutors expose you to diverse audio sources—interviews, podcasts, news broadcasts—to train your ear for different registers and regional variations. They teach you active listening strategies like identifying key words, predicting content, and managing anxiety, plus how to answer questions even when you miss some details.

Grammar accuracy matters significantly, especially in the writing and speaking sections where errors directly impact your score. Students typically struggle most with subjunctive mood usage (knowing when to trigger it), preterite vs. imperfect distinction in narratives, and ser vs. estar in context. Tutors help you move beyond memorizing rules to understanding when and why you use each structure, using targeted practice and real passages from previous exams so the grammar becomes automatic rather than something you have to think through during the test.

The AP Spanish exam integrates culture throughout—reading passages reference historical events, literary traditions, and social issues from Spanish-speaking countries, and the speaking/writing prompts often ask you to discuss cultural perspectives. You don't need to memorize specific facts, but tutors help you develop familiarity with major cultural themes, historical contexts, and contemporary issues so you can understand passages more deeply and discuss culture authentically in your responses. This contextual knowledge also helps you infer meaning when you encounter unfamiliar vocabulary.

Effective practice test use involves taking full-length exams under timed conditions to build stamina and identify weak areas, then reviewing every single question—not just the ones you missed. Tutors help you analyze patterns in your errors (Are you missing implied information? Struggling with specific grammar? Running out of time?), then target those specific weaknesses with focused drills. They also teach you pacing strategies for each section so you're not rushing through the speaking or writing portions, which directly impacts quality and score.

Most students benefit from 3-4 months of consistent preparation, though students starting from lower proficiency levels may need longer. Realistic improvement depends on your starting point—students with intermediate Spanish might gain 2-3 points on the 5-point scale with focused tutoring, while advanced students often focus on eliminating careless errors to reach a 4 or 5. Tutors work with you to set specific, measurable goals for each section and track progress through practice tests so you can see exactly where you're improving and where you need more work.
