Photography and writing are part of Li's everyday creative life, and both show up directly in AP Studio Art — from composing images with intentional framing to drafting the artist statements that anchor a sustained investigation. Her medical doctoral training also sharpened an eye for precise observation and documentation, skills that translate surprisingly well to developing a portfolio's visual narrative.

Valerie's strength here isn't in studio technique — her degree is in applied math, not fine art. But the AP Studio Art portfolio requires structured planning, iterative revision, and clear written articulation of ideas, and those are exactly the skills her analytical background reinforces. She's especially useful for students who need help organizing their sustained investigation timeline or sharpening the logic behind their artist statements.

Having earned his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago — where he also taught Sculpture — Luke brings a working artist's perspective to the sustained investigation at the heart of AP Studio Art. He knows how to push students past safe, formulaic portfolios toward risk-taking and conceptual depth, because that's what MFA-level critique trained him to do. His decade of college-level teaching means feedback on everything from material choices to artist statements is direct, specific, and grounded in professional studio practice.

As a painter and illustrator herself, Nikki understands the sustained investigation process that AP Studio Art demands — developing a cohesive portfolio where each piece builds on a central inquiry. She's especially strong at coaching students through artist statements and the written components, connecting visual choices to the ideas behind them.

The AP Studio Art portfolio demands more than technical skill; it requires a sustained investigation with clear artistic intent and visual evidence of inquiry. Parker is actively building this kind of work as a B.A. studio art student, which means advice on breadth, concentration, and artist statements comes from current, firsthand experience. That proximity to the creative process makes feedback specific and practical rather than abstract.

The AP Studio Art portfolio asks students to do something most high schoolers haven't practiced: sustain a single artistic idea across multiple works and then articulate it in writing. Juan bridges both sides of that challenge, bringing his own experience as a painter and writer to studio critiques and artist statement drafts alike. He digs into the scoring criteria so students understand exactly what earns top marks on breadth, concentration, and quality.

Andrea's double major in English Literature and Arabic won't paint a canvas for anyone, but the AP Studio Art exam weights written communication more heavily than most students expect — artist statements and sustained investigation narratives need to be sharp, specific, and persuasive. Her ESL/TESOL certification and years of writing instruction mean she knows how to pull clear, intentional language out of students who'd rather just show their work. For portfolio-builders who freeze up at the written components, that's exactly the gap worth filling.

I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.

I'm Ellie, and I am a junior at Yale University studying Biomedical Engineering (pre-med)! I have always considered myself a life-long student, and I strive to make learning exciting and empowering for everyone. On campus, I work as a graphic designer for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), volunteer EMT, am the Arts Editor for the Yale Scientific Magazine, am the Layout Editor for the Yale Globalist Magazine, conduct autism research in the School of Medicine, and tutor a Differential Equations course to small groups of students weekly. Aside from my passion for science and math, I enjoy writing essays in my literature classes, designing in Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and more and also have much experience writing application essays for colleges and jobs!

I'm a recent Duke grad with experience in Resume Writing, Statistics, Mandarin Chinese, Art History, and Math. I'll be available starting in July through August to tutor. In September, I'll be pursuing my Masters Degree in London at the Sotheby's Institute of Art.

I am comfortable tutoring in a variety of subjects, particularly at the elementary and middle school level. I am most excited about US history, English, writing, and public speaking. I am deeply passionate about educational equity, and firmly believe that every child has a right to an excellent education. As a tutor and teacher, I work to ensure that my students demonstrate growth in a subject area, in general academic skills, and in character.

I am a PhD student at the University of Michigan, studying social psychology. Before this, I was at Duke University completing a BS in psychology as well as a MS in global health. My research combines the fields of global health and psychology by examining the effects of culture on self-related psychological processes. I hope to continue in academia to become a professor of psychology, as teaching is among my greatest passions.

I am good at test taking, is my ability to organize information. It's a skill I use both in my academic life, as well as professionally; as a stage manager, it is often my job to take in complicated and conflicting pieces of information (the blocking, a quick change in costumes, changes in a script) and quickly organize that information so that I can convey it to someone else. I enjoy and excel at condensing and re-communicating facts or tasks, so that they become comprehensible to someone who may not understand them the first time around.

I'm an undergraduate at Brown University with a planned concentration in Health and Human Biology and Visual Art. I have had extensive experience working as a summer camp counselor, teaching at a Mandarin School, working as an SAT Tutor, and tutoring Physics, Biology, and Math at a local high school. I am more than happy to offer college advice and SAT II and AP prep given my experience with the application process!

I am a graduate of Brown University, where I earned my B.A. in Literary Arts and Visual Arts, taking courses in a wide array of subjects ranging from contemporary American fiction to ancient Indian classics. My first teaching experience came in college when I had the privilege of creating and teaching a series of literature courses at a local community center. There are few experiences I find more enriching than facilitating a meaningful dialogue centered around great works of literature and art. While literature and art are my passion, I also tutor in variety of other subjects, including math, science, and test preparation. I currently work as a lead teacher in the after-school program at Archway Classical Academy in Phoenix.

I am an aspiring character artist for games and currently work as a prop artist. I received my studio art bachelors in 2018 and a 3D modeling diploma in 2020. I tutor for drawing, digital painting, digital sculpting, 3D modeling and texturing for games. I believe in student-centered learning and prioritize building observational skills and fostering creativity. I think the best way for a student to learn is through discovery led by careful guidance.

I am incredibly excited to dedicate myself to helping students amidst one of the greatest public health crises of our time. I have worked with students at both ends of the academic spectrum on not only traditional classroom subjects but also in a 'future preparation and planning' context. I am passionate about finding the best way for a student to learn and often times that encourages me to get outside of my comfort zone and re-imagine the problems in a way my student can best understand them. I am patient, outgoing, a fast learner and am excited to be a resource for you and/or your student!

I am passionate about empowering others to not only reach academic progress, but also gain a greater self-confidence through encouraging, patient tutoring. I am a middle school school STEM teacher seeking additional students to help in my out-of-work hours. Finally, I am a Cornell University alum and am confident in my ability to teach students in a range of fields - anything from English, ESL, art, writing, social studies to math and computers. Looking forward to hearing from you!

I am a senior undergraduate at the University of Pennsylvania studying Political Science, as well as a research assistant studying violence against women. Becoming a truly successful college student often requires using an interdisciplinary approach to a given subject. I strive to bring what I have learned at a top University to high school students.

I'm a recent graduate from the University of Chicago with BAs in Anthropology as well as History and Philosophy of Science. I love to teach about these subjects, and am also eager to tutor writing and study skills! I have experience tutoring students from early childhood to college-age in history, math, English and Spanish. I also have experience copyediting and giving content and structure feedback on student's writing. I would love to work with you!

I am an expressive, dynamic teacher that likes to make learning fun!

I am a graduate of Washington University in St. Louis, with a BA in English Literature, and New York University, with an MA in Arts Administration. I truly enjoy learning so much that Ive studied various subjects at over 10 additional colleges across the United States and Europe, starting in high school! Im also a student of life, attending special seminars (like Landmark and Tony Robbins) whenever I get the chance. Over the past 15 years, Ive had the pleasure of teaching in many different settings. Ive been a museum educator, a classroom teacher (teaching either math, science, English or art), an education program manager, a leadership trainer (teaching a leadership curriculum through the arts), a yoga instructor, and a tutor. Because Im so passionate about learning, its a pleasure for me to inspire my students to discover their own passions and reach their goals. In my spare time, I enjoy world traveling, reading, yoga, stand-up paddle boarding, swimming, making art and exploring South Florida. Wherever your educational path takes you, I hope you enjoy the ride!

I am a Master of Architecture candidate at Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Physics from Colgate University. While I tutor several subjects, I am very passionate about mathematics and physics because of the tangible progress which I am able to help students achieve, and I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities. I have been a mathematics and physics tutor for the last eight years and have worked with students enrolled in middle school, high school, and university courses. As a tutor I work to build my students confidence and independence. In my spare time, I enjoy drawing and playing volleyball and tennis.

I am relatively new to tutoring but am enthusiastic about learning and excited to start!

I am most passionate about social science, cultural studies, illustration, and writing. Throughout all of my travels and experiences, I have held the firm belief that education is the key to expanding your world in every way and I hope to impart that view on my students.

I am a recent graduate of The Johns Hopkins University where I received a B.S. in Neuroscience and Visual Arts. Currently, I am studying for my Masters in Narrative Medicine at Columbia University. I have ample experience working with and teaching children of all ages. In previous years, I have tutored for the SAT, ACT, geometry, and calculus. Given my academic background, I also feel confident and readily prepared to teach high school and college-level Biology and Chemistry.

I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

I'm a recent graduate from Reed College where I majored in Political science with additional concentrations in environmental science, sociology, philosophy, and 3D art.

I'm Meredith. I am a student at Sewanee: The University of the South, where I am pursuing degrees in English and International Studies. I also am pursuing a certificate in Creative Writing. I love to read, write, and engage in anything that allows me to be creative. I have a passion for education as a student and as a teacher. I cannot wait to meet new students and provide help in any way I can!

I am qualified to tutor many subjects, my favorite subject by far is math, specifically calculus. Math is a subject almost universally hated, and I believe that is mainly due to the narrow way in which it is taught. I have ADHD, and I often don't understand things the first time they are explained to me, meaning over the years I have had to figure out different ways of looking at information. Oftentimes, all a student needs is for something to be explained in a different way, and I love watching people finally understand a concept. Everyone learns differently, but everyone can learn.

I am a psychology major on the pre-medical track, but outside of my studies I love experimenting with coding and putting on events to introduce younger girls to STEM fields. I tutor in writing, simple coding, HTML/CSS coding languages, elementary-middle school math, and lots of other subjects since I have many interests and areas of experience! In the past, I have been a psychology teaching assistant for Psychology 101, ran educational STEM summer programs, and tutored high school students in basic computer science. I enjoy passing new, exciting skills as well as helpful tips and tricks to others!

I am a graduate of the University of Maryland, with degrees in physics, astronomy, and studio art. During my time at university I was a member of the Physic Education Research group, conducting studies into the best methods of math and physics pedagogy. Although I am most accomplished in physical science education, my methods are applicable to all kinds of science. I have also studied history and literature extensively as a matter of personal passion. My goals as a tutor reach beyond simply grasping the material at the level which it is presented--I aim to give students the intellectual and emotional tools to grasp underlying principles of any field, and the confidence to believe that this is something they can achieve under their own power. In my spare time, I write fiction and paint, and I love the outdoors.

I'm currently a fourth year medical student. I graduated from UCSD with B.S. degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and a minor in Visual Art. I'm very interested in math and science, as can seen with my educational background. Since I'm currently a student myself, I understand the frustration one can experience when faced with some academic challenges. I'm here to help and hopefully find a better way to overcome these challenges.

I am a practicing painter living and working in Brooklyn. New York. In 2008 I graduated with a BFA from Maryland Institute College of Art, and received an MFA from New York Studio School in 2011. In 2014 I received a Fulbright Fellowship to Leipzig, Germany, where I lived and painted until earlier this year. I teach art in a college setting as well as at several art centers in the New York area, to students ranging in age and skill level, in a variety of media and techniques.

I am excited to tutor English writing and literature as well as studio art because both enable students to develop their own ideas and creativity.

I am a college senior at Columbia University studying Political Science with a focus on quantitative methods (regression, applied econometrics, experimental methods). My teaching experience in the past has included SAT/ACT prep, essay revision, mathematics tutoring, and specific SAT Subject Test tutoring. Now that I've almost finished my time as a college student, I would be happy to walk other students through ways to read an academic text, study methods, and specific college coursework questions. I am a previous teacher through Americorps in their summer program for future first gen college students. I look forward to getting to know you!

I am a sophomore college student at Texas A&M! I have always had a passion for knowledge, and I'm super excited to ignite that passion in my students! Learning study skills and habits that will set students up for success is my main goal.

I am passionate about social justice and I believe a great part of justice is education. Education is empowering and fulfilling and I am privileged enough to have experienced this. Now, I want to help others experience the life-changing power of education as well.

I am committed to creating a candid, charismatic, creative, and communicative environment for all of my students and am flexible enough to accommodate a wide variety of preferences and needs.

I am a current Game Design Major at the University of Central Florida, with a minor in Creative Writing and certificate in German language. I was very involved in my high school's honor societies and band program, and through these have taught many students, be it in music or academics. I have also worked as a Graphic Designer, both for volunteer work as well as paid gigs, and have proficiency in Photoshop and Illustrator. Likewise, I have studied writing since high school and was the Editor-in-Chief for Valencia College's Phoenix Magazine, in which I wrote, edited, and revised work. I have often used the above opportunities to mentor people before, and find it exciting to pass on whatever tips and tricks I've learned along the way, as well as bond with others in a shared subject.
