Approved subjects are in bold.
Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students. If a tutor is interested but not yet approved in a subject, the subject will appear in non-bold font. Tutors need to be approved in a subject prior to beginning lessons.
Algebra 1
I believe that everyone can do Math. Many students just need help with boosting their confidence in their abilities to do Math. Before jumping into tutoring Algebra 1, I work with my students to make sure they understand some basic math concepts. Additionally, I work with students on organizing their thoughts and putting these thoughts down in a process that helps them master the Algebra concepts. Many students entering algebra need work on arithmetic with fractions, how to calculate least common denominators, etc. Through this process, students gain confidence and mastery of not only Algebra concepts but also the skills to attack any subject.
Computer Programming
I am certified to tutor students in Computer Programming, more specifically computer logic design and programming. I have over 20 years of experience in various programming languages and logic design.
Proofreading
Subjects for proofreading: literature, science, and technology.
Writing
