Tim
Tim - Math, English and Science Tutor
I was an excellent student in both high school and college. My GPA in both was 3.8 or higher. I have earned A grades in every math class since my sophomore year of high school. I also consider myself an excellent writer, and I have also consistently earned excellent grades. I have also written several movie reviews for fun! If I'm not mistaken, I still have my notes and some textbooks from both college math and English. I often stayed after class or lab to help other students with their... Read more

Justin
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. This requires conveying a sense of appreciation for storytelling and awe at the power of the written word. Engagement with texts that will interest students is key. 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

Douglas
Writing & Literary Studies
I'm a huge fan of the writing process and an even bigger fan of working with students one-on-one. I'm highly empathetic and I live for sitting down with a student, learning about their writing project (whatever it may be), and helping them formulate their ideas into cohesive written expression, step-by-step. I worked as a Writing Center Consultant at my alma mater, where I assisted students with any and all kinds of writing assignments. I especially love brainstorming and editing for gramma... Read more

Kiana
I'm an eager college student trying to share what I've learned
I have been living abroad for the past 6 years (Ethiopia, Finland, and India to be exact).

I also wrote a lesson plan and taught a 6th grade math class on aspects of "mathsthetics". In India I taught local students twice a week, writing lesson ... Read more
Celeste
Ms. Celeste or, for smaller children, CeeCee.
I love words, languages, music, dancing...and people! I would like to help elementary-high school aged kids maximize their potential (and even some college athletes struggling with writing and test-taking). I value people's differences, but try to help them understand why some standards are important and how to master those skills. I laugh a lot! :-)... Read more
