Greetings!
My name is Sydney. I have a degree in Linguistics from the University of Hawaii at Manoa, with a focus in translating and interpreting. I work full-time as a computational linguist/conversational engineer, building out language models for AI. Tutoring has been a side-gig for me since 2012, through which I've discovered a love for working with students one-on-one.
A bit about me academically--I graduated with honors in the Spring of 2017, summa cum laude, student...

Sydney is a very knowledgeable and patient language tutor!
I am learning Norwegian with Sydney and I couldn't ask for a better tutor. As I am an adult trying to pick up the language, I feel she does an exceptional job to fit the material to my particular learning rate. She is very professional and patient, which really encourages me to learn even more! Thanks, Sydney!

Making learning interesting
My son is going to Norway for his junior year of high school, so we wanted to find a tutor for him to get a head start on becoming fluent in Norwegian. What he likes about her is that she makes learning fun and entertaining. She gives him homework so that he keeps his studies going in between lessons. Her teaching style has made my son learn another language a lot more interesting than it otherwise would've been. Thank you, Sydney! Destine & Landon

Great tutor
Sydney really connected with my 14 year old daughter. This was the most engaged I have seen my daughter in a long time doing math. When she got done she said she enjoyed it and that she wanted to do it again. It was a like a light bulb went on in her brain which was great to see. Satisfied customer!! The things we enjoyed the most about Sydney were 1. Despite her young age she was able to command our daughter's respect and she was reliable. 2. She provided very detailed summaries of her lessons that kept us updated on what they were working on. 3. Most of all she made my daughter really believe that she can do this math and that she can be successful in this. We had Sydney for almost five months and she moved my daughter from an "F" to almost a "C" which is incredible in that short amount of time. She built a good foundation that will make things easier for our next tutor.
