Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!

I have 10 years of formal tutoring experience, have been formally tutor trained, and have even won a National Tutor of the Year award for my work with one education company. I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Washington in Seattle, with degrees in Linguistics and Psychology, and have some graduate school experience in English literature from Rutgers University in New Jersey.

I have worked with students ranging from 1st grade to adults, and most often tutor students in Math (from grade school up to trigonometry), English, Reading, and basic Science. I tutor very interactively, and focus on customizing my tutoring for the student's particular needs. I can help with homework, study skills, or enrichment activities to go beyond the classroom.

I am also one of those rare individuals who love standardized tests, and I have tutoring experience in the SAT, ACT, GRE, GMAT, LSAT, ISEE, and SSAT. I have tutored all components of each of the tests, and have scored at least in the 95th percentile on all of them.

Algebra 1

10+ years experience tutoring the material from Algebra I. I love helping students see the logic behind algebra, and I believe in repetition to build confidence.

Vocabulary

Having tutored the SAT, ACT, and GRE, and having studied Linguistics, Latin, English, and a few other languages in college, I've acquired a sizable vocabulary. I tutor vocabulary for standardized tests using roots, word groups, and sentence context. For non-native English speakers, I make sure that the vocabulary I teach is at the appropriate level and that I also teach how to use the words idiomatically. For younger children, I make sure to give age-appropriate context and to reinforce the words... Read More

Grammar

I am a Linguistics major from the University of Washington, and am one of those rare people who enjoy talking about grammar. In tutoring, I use a variety of explanations to make sure that students understand the grammatical relationships between words, which helps students see progress more quickly.

Geometry

I have tutored Geometry for close to 9 years.

German

I took three years of college level German at the University of Washington, with a 4.0 GPA in all classes. I've also studied abroad in Germany. I can work with German students at the beginner and intermediate level. My specialty is helping students understand the rules of German grammar.

Prealgebra

I have 10+ years experience tutoring students in Prealgebra, and enjoy helping students see how math rules make sense. I believe in customizing my tutoring to what the student needs, which may include a math refresher to fill in some gaps that may exist.

English

I have completed coursework for an English major at the University of Washington and PhD coursework in English at Rutgers University. I can tutor reading, literature, grammar, and writing. I have significant experience helping students write and revise papers.

Psychology

I majored in Psychology at the University of Washington and can tutor high school psychology or college psychology. Topics of interest include General Psychology, biopsychology, personality, developmental psychology, and social psychology. I also help students write and revise research papers.

Literature

I have completed coursework for an English major at the University of Washington, and some coursework for a PhD in English literature from Rutgers University, all with straight As. I enjoy teaching strategies for active reading.

Proofreading

I have a degree in Linguistics from the University of Washington and have a passion for grammar. I have helped many students revise their writing and develop their own proofreading skills. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to help students learn to proofread their own works, but I am also happy to work with students in the short term on a particular paper or set of papers.

ACT Math

I have been tutoring the ACT since 2003, and have helped students from all different scoring ranges. The ACT is one of my favorite standardized tests, and I love to make it less scary for my students. I teach test strategy and time management in addition to the math content knowledge required.

Elementary (K-6th)

I have tutored K-6th students in ISEE/SSAT, English, reading, math, and science.

Study Skills

I have over ten years of experience tutoring students with varying degrees of study skills. I am comfortable teaching note-taking skills, organization techniques, and test preparation skills. I can help students plan their time well, organize their backpack and binders, or can help them stay on task and focused while working.

ESL/ESOL

I have served as a tutor and conversation partner for international students and non-native English speakers. I also have a degree in Linguistics and significant coursework in English literature.

Logic

I passed a Symbolic Logic course at the University of Washington with a perfect 4.0, and currently teach Formal Logic for the LSAT. Symbolic Logic is often daunting to students because of its unfamiliarity, and I love to help students gain confidence as they learn to recognize logical patterns.
