Tutoring in all academic subjects; expert on the SAT

- Tacoma , Washington ( 98409 )
- 7 miles
I have been tutoring students for many years in many subjects, since I have a very broad academic and professional background. I am especially good at helping students prepare for the PSAT and the SAT. My own score on the old SAT was 1580; that is, I missed only one question. Sometimes students think the SAT is a comprehensive exam on everything they have learned in high school. No, it is not. They are tested on advanced vocabulary and the ability to solve math puzzles at high speed, as wel... Read more

Hi, I'm Darby! I graduated in 2020 with a degree in Earth and Space Exploration (Geological Sciences) and a certificate in Field Geology. During my time in college I focused my courses on mineralogy, petrology, structural geology, and field geology. Prerequisites for these courses include challenging math and science topics such as chemistry, physics, and calculus I-III. Many of these classes would have been impossible without the tutors, TAs, and professors that helped me along the way. My... Read more

I am a knowledgeable, personable, and enthusiastic educator in the Math and Physics fields. While tutoring I employ humor as a tool to engage my students in the material. My goal is to impart my passion for math and science onto my students. However, I am quick to adjust my strategies to meet my individual student's needs. My teaching and tutoring experience, as discussed shortly, is mostly with college students so I prefer working with adults and older high school students. While attainin... Read more

My name is Georgia. I am currently enrolled at the University of Washington where I am getting my Bachelors degree in Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences.
