Gavin
Grades 6-12 STEM Tutor
I have always had a passion for teaching and learning math and science. I studied civil engineering in college at Purdue with a mathematics minor.

For physics, I tutored 1 student and created an individualized study strategy based on the concepts she was struggling with. We would spend lots of time doing practice problems for each concept, and then I would create practice exams to test her knowledge. For drafting... Read more

Kyle
MD, PhD: General Surgery Resident & Science, USMLE, or STEP Tutor
If you are looking to go from the 80th percentile to the 99th, I'm not the tutor that you need. If you are scoring that high, you've probably already have things figured out. My specialty is in teaching the FUNDAMENTALS and proper TEST TAKING SKILLS. I have been tutoring for 10+ years, and have found that most students are lacking in the "art of test taking", with easy points being missed. About me: I completed my PhD in Pharmacodynamics, with a focus on the neuropharmacology of aging. Th... Read more
Nadia
Experienced High school and College STEM tutor
Do you consider yourself "not a math person"? I used to hate math, but now it's my favorite subject to tutor! After years of struggling through STEM courses, I learned how to make learning work for me. During my time in college, I studied Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. I became a peer tutor for intro level courses in those subjects, and fell in love with tutoring and getting to support those "aha" moments. My goal as a tutor is to help students feel prepared for quizzes and tests, compl... Read more

Stephanie
Patient, Creative, and Experienced Tutor
I started tutoring ESL students about 5 years ago, and really enjoyed meeting and getting to know the students. I worked with various ages and proficiency levels, ranging from a teenage student from Mexico who didn't speak any English at all, to an older adult student from Poland who simply wanted to expand his vocabulary. Recently, I spent about 7 months tutoring two refugee children from Iraq in English as a Second Language, as well as whatever subjects they brought home for homework. ... Read more
