Comprehensive Tutor - Math, Reading, Writing, Vocabulary & STEM |

Carrie S.

I am an Electrical Engineer (MSEE) and experienced educator with over ten years of combined tutoring, teaching, and academic leadership experience. Throughout my undergraduate and graduate studies, I served as a math tutor at both Shoreline Community College and Seattle University, where I assisted students in subjects ranging from basic algebra and vocabulary building to college-level calculus, physics, reading comprehension, and academic writing. My teaching background also includes work as a part-time instructor at Huntington Learning Center, where I taught reading, writing, comprehension, and vocabulary to elementary, middle-school, and high-school students.

I have taught students of all ages - from early teens to adult learners, through one-on-one sessions, small-group instruction, and academic mentoring roles. My approach is patient, encouraging, and highly personalized. I focus on building confidence through clarity: breaking down challenging concepts into simple, relatable steps and helping students develop strong study skills, critical thinking, and problem-solving strategies. Because of my engineering background, I teach in a way that emphasizes patterns, logic, and real-world understanding, which helps students move from memorizing to truly mastering the material.

Whether a student needs support in math, science, reading, writing, or vocabulary, my goal is always the same: to help them feel capable, confident, and proud of their progress. I believe every student learns differently, and I meet them exactly where they are - building a foundation that supports long-term academic success.
