Frank
Math and Physics tutor with Engineering PhD
I have tutored physics and math students since I was in college, with most of my emphasis on introductory physics courses for students in other departments (e.g. pre-med), and undergraduate math classes, especially single-variable calculus. In addition, I have tutored high school calculus and other math classes. I love working through problems with students and seeing when they grasp the methods and are able to apply them to solve new problems. I enjoy working with students at all stages, ... Read more

Expert Trainer, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office and much more!
Good teaching cannot be reduced to technique. "Good teachers join self, subject, and students in the fabric of life because they teach from an integral and undivided self; they manifest in their own lives, and evoke in their students, a capacity for connectedness. They are able to weave a complex web of connections between themselves, their subjects, and their students, so that students can learn to weave a world for themselves." –Parker J. Palmer, founder and Senior Partner of the Center f... Read more

Mara
Writing Tutor for Elementary/High School/ College
Writing shouldn't feel like getting teeth pulled at the dentist. Or picking paper shreds out of the grass with a garbage grabber. (I've done that—it's no fun, believe me.) Maybe it feels like that for you now, but I hope to help you find ways to find words much less painfully. My name is Mara, and I graduated magna cum laude from UC Santa Cruz with a BA in Literature, and a minor in Education. I am now working towards a masters in Book Publishing at PSU. Writing has been my passion since I... Read more
