Amita
Writing Coach, Former Kumon Tutor, SAT Reading/Writing
In high school, I was the person people paid to write their papers. My work spoke for itself: my clients always got As. At some point before I was legally culpable (say, 17?), I realized that writing papers for others was not only immoral, but also unsatisfying. There was no fulfillment from simply lending my voice out to others; however, helping others hone their voice was a different matter. For the majority of college, I worked as a private tutor to help edit, restructure, and elevate ot... Read more
Em
Award-winning teacher/mentor w/adaptive teaching styles (online only!)
My approach to tutoring and mentorship is student-led, in that your needs are paramount. My methods are highly adaptable to the ways that you learn. While helping you meet your goals, I will tell you about additional ways that you can improve what you're already doing.

Nicole
Elementary/Middle School Teacher Specialty in Math/Science/L.A.
I believe a tutor’s purpose is to prepare their students with the skills needed to be successful in the future. Each student has his or her own needs, therefore, it is the tutor’s job to recognize those needs and fulfill them to their greatest potential. A tutor should do this by remaining open-minded, dedicated, and passionate. Students succeed the most when they have high yet obtainable expectations set for them. Tutors owe it to their students to be consistent, supportive, and confident i... Read more
