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.

Shana
Experienced, Creative, and Fun Language Arts Tutor
While I was in high school and college, I tutored students who were in elementary and junior high school. I taught lots of students who were from many different countries and ethnic backgrounds.

I also tutored in math, science, and social studies. I helped students study for tests and complete homework as well. I developed goo... Read more

Fluent French Speaker and World Traveler
I have a degree in French and Communication. I studied abroad in France for a year in 2015, and learned a lot on how to speak colloquially, vocabulary, the accent, and the culture. I've visited France many times since, and it's one of my favorite places. I have studied French for my entire academic life. I was the President of the French Club in high school, and took all AP French classes that were available for me. I listen to French podcasts, watch French movies, and have all the Harry Pot...

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

English Tutor and Proofreader: Critical, Creative Reading and Writing
English language and literature are passions of mine, and my approach to tutoring is to try to inspire the same enthusiasm in pupils.

My tutoring strategy involves helping students realize their own way of understanding and using language. I strive to encourage learners to create their own proper ways of interpreting and expressi... Read more

Alan-Photographer and Educator
As a person who has worked as a professional educator and photographer, I strive for excellence. That is my guiding principle. Professional skills are important, but listening and observation are critical in assisting someone's learning process. My master's degree in education was comprised of a year's teaching bracketed by course work focused on practical classroom application. My final project was a tutoring program I created between my third-graders and a kindergarten classroom. In my... Read more
