Alessandro
Teacher with experience teaching Italian and media to all ages
Hi! My name is Alessandro, and I have a degree in Italian modern literature from the University of Turin. Apart from being a native Italian speaker, I am also fluent in English. I believe the best way to learn a language is through conversation, you get to practice and have fun! I am married to an American and I got most of my experience teaching Italian and photography in London and Dublin. I have over five years experience teaching to all ages. Please, feel free to ask me any questions you ... Read more
Paul
Exceptional English Tutor Specializing in Writing and Test Prep
I've been teaching and tutoring for over fifteen years and to me the most important aspect of teaching is that the student learns how to think for him or herself. Without that, there is no real learning. This begins with the relationship between teacher and student. There must first and foremost be trust, so that the student feels comfortable learning with a particular person. This is also important for the teacher so they begin to understand how the student thinks, how the student learns and... Read more
Donny
writing tutor, acting coach, speech criticism
I can coach you through character building, relaxation exercises, vocal warmups, and running lines. More importantly, I can help find what the character is doing in the scene. Acting is taking action, so actors need to act upon something. That something is the crux of the matter for an actor. Once an actor finds his/her actions, then performing th Read more

I am a a classical composer and pianist with BA in music from Lewis and Clark College and an MM in music composition from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music.

Margaret
Tutor w/ experience teaching abroad and tutoring in multiple languages
There are many subjects I like to study, and this is why I have such a wide range of experience! I am a certified TESOL instructor, and spent a year teaching English in Istanbul, Turkey. Before that, I led French conversation classes while in college, and after that, I taught ESL classes for my term of Americorps service in San Jose, CA.

I am most experienced in Final Cut Pro editing software but can also teach you a thing or two about Adobe Premier as well. If you want to learn the basics of video edit... Read more
Ashley
College Grad with an English Degree
I am a college graduate with a degree in English literature. This means I have lots of experience with reading, writing, proofreading, and editing essays. I completed two years of a credential program for teaching when I realized I wanted to do my individualized teaching/instructing, and left the credential program. If there is one thing that I have learned in my life so far - it is that each person has a different learning style, and I will try my best to work with you and develop a meth... Read more

My students were of all ages from 5-year old preschoolers to college students to adult professionals. One-on-one tutoring has always been one of my favor... Read more
Thomas
Political Science Professor with 10+ Years of Experience
I taught courses in political science for more than ten years. It was not a matter of addressing students in a large lecture hall. I interacted with students in settings that facilitated discussion. My students learned to make arguments and to defend them. The courses that I taught included all the major subfields of political science, but they focused on the American political tradition. Where appropriate, I assigned readings from primary sources, because I found that these require a... Read more
