Alejandra
Lessons, Homework Help, & Test Prep with a Friendly Yale grad
Hi there! My name is Alejandra, and I've been working as a tutor for high school and college students for the past ten years. I offer highly personalized academic support for a small number of long-term students and clients. I feel that ALL students benefit from the one-one-one focused attention of a tutor, whether they are struggling academically or not. I maintain an active tutoring roster of only eight students at any given time, so that I can bring my maximum focus to each student's ... Read more

During college, I tutored a local high-school student who was struggling in her chemistry class. Right away we developed a productive working relationship and in almost no time my student's grades improved significantly - she went from receiving below average scores to As. My student, her mother and I were beside ourselves with delight - I would absolutely love the opportunity to reproduce these results with other students. I am a strong believer in starting with a student's strengths, build... Read more

Comprehensive Writing Instruction Made Easy!
My interest in teaching lies in my desire to empower anyone who is in a learning environment. Over the years I have tutored college students, I often encounter students who are struggling with their self-confidence as much as they are with where to place a semi-colon. By meeting the learner where they are in the process of writing, I learned that it is much easier for a student to grasp a concept, exercise their knowledge and master a challenge when they felt supported. Perhaps more importan... Read more

Specializing in Test Preparation & Strategies
I believe that if you give a student a system for learning, they can achieve anything. I find out what a student knows, so time isn't wasted repeating it, and then break down what hasn't been mastered into simple chunks so the student is not overwhelmed. By adapting my teaching method to the student, tremendous results can be achieved. My educational background is in English, but I have a lot of work experience using mathematics. I taught English SAT Prep for Sylvan, and my strategy was... Read more

Pomona College Grad for Academic Tutoring and Music Instruction
Over the past five years, I have tutored students from age nine to fifty with diverse learning goals and obstacles. Whether the subject is math, French, grammar, reading comprehension, or music, I enjoy helping each student build confidence and independent learning skills in an environment of patience and positivity. I believe that creating a space where students feel comfortable and supported enables them to meet learning goals and overcome emotional obstacles like anxiety and low self-estee... Read more

Since retiring as School Superintendent I have missed the educational environment tremendously. Throughout my 28 years serving in public education, my greatest professional satisfaction came in the classroom. Thus, I have continued to serve as a substitute teacher. I taught English for 25 years. Subsequent to my retirement I have spent weeks and months as a long- and short-term substitute teacher. I hope that there are young people who might benefit from my teaching experiences. I am willi... Read more

I have been working with children for many years through both teaching elementary school age students and coaching a variety of sports. My passion for teaching and working with students not only comes out in my ability to develop relationships with students but to meet a student where they are and challenge each student but not overwhelm them. Each year, my students have shown significant growth in math by integrating technology, practical tools, and using real world problems and develo... Read more
Michelle
English & K-8 Education major ready to tutor!
Working with children & helping out children younger than me has always been my passion. I grew up on a dead end street where many large families lived. Growing up, I always played teacher with my sisters and spent most of my middle school and early high school years babysitting all of the children younger than me on my street. Even at a young age, I showed that I was meant to teach by helping everyone out with their homework when I babysat them. When I started to out grow my babysitting ... Read more
