Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher. I believe that teaching is more than a job, more than a career; it is a calling. Making a difference in the lives of others is important to me. I can't think of another job that offers that opportunity as much as teaching.

Arithmetic Tutor • +21 Subjects
I am a recent graduate of Hope International University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Human Development with a focus on counseling and biblical studies. I am applying for Graduate School this summer, so I can further my education in Psychology and Cultural Anthropology. My passion is listening to and working with children; and, I hope to become the kind of therapist that families, including our soldiers and veterans, will come to when they need help. While I have been working on my education, I have spent the last several years as a para-educator teaching children of immigrants in California for the "No Child Left Behind" program at an elementary school. I also edit and tutor writing composition for individual clients in middle school and high school using APA and MLA formats, focusing on good research methods, proper citing, and correct bibliography and reference pages. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Math, and test prep. I've always felt a great joy when my students experience their "aha" moment. They have just received something that belongs to them for the rest of their lives - knowledge. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be the key to a high quality of life; and, I try to impart this appreciation to my students by being a good role model, since I am also a student. I teach good work ethics, responsibility, and accountability so my students will not only gain an education, they will be productive and dependable adults one day. I love spending time with my teenager, swimming, drawing, volunteering for Feed The Children and Save Our Beaches. One of our goals is to create the best mac 'n cheese "known to man."

JJ
Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +30 Subjects
I received my B.S. in Biology from Villanova University in May of 2012. Throughout my four years of undergraduate college, I tutored hundreds of students in a variety of subjects. A month after my graduation from Villanova, I was on a plane to California to start work on my Master's degree. I studied Entomology at the University of California, Davis and conducted a field research project that investigated how pesticides affect honey bee behavior. I also worked as a teaching assistant at Davis and co-created and taught a course about current issues related to beekeeping and bee conservation.I finished my M.S.in Entomology at the beginning of 2015. I have a sincere love of learning and find great joy in helping others achieve their academic goals. I believe a teacher must be patient with their students and truly understand what issues they face in order to effectively communicate with them. I strive to cultivate a positive teaching environment that inspires my students with the same passion for learning that I have.I have recently focused on tutoring standardized tests including the GRE, SAT and ACT. I most enjoy tutoring the GRE because of the complexity of its questions. I love teaching students how to see through the tests tricks and pitfalls, while also analyzing the subtle clues provided by the questions. Other subjects that I have experience tutoring include math up to calculus, biology, statistics, essay composition, chemistry and physics.

I have completed my Bachelor's degree from the University of Florida in both Biology and Business Administration. I currently love to tutor all students in numerous Mathematics and Science subjects as I want to spark that same passion that I have for these subjects. I have significant mastery of mathematics including pre-calculus, algebra 1/2, trigonometry, geometry, statistics, finite math, college level algebra, business math, and quantitative reasoning, etc. I have significant experience in science subjects including biology, chemistry, physics, anatomy, organic chemistry, and biochemistry as well.I love to help students use their logic and problem-solving skills in order to advance their learning ability to a higher degree more efficiently. While learning how to apply these skills in real life situations using both math and science topics, respectively. I like to tailor lesson plans and study strategies to that particular student (as we are all unique) to ensure each student understands the concepts completely.I love to help any and all students ranging from the inquisitive mind to a struggling student trying to achieve an A+ in class!

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +18 Subjects
I've always loved teaching. It started in 11th grade when I taught math and science to younger students. Math is fascinating; once you grasp the basics, you can work miracles. I've been a home tutor and freelance guide, assisting students with exams and assignments. I completed a Master's in Electrical Engineering, where I realized engineering is the practical application of math and science. I believe in inspiring and empowering students to explore these fields, shaping a better future.

Joshua
Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects
I began my college education at Portland Community College where I studied Mathematics, Physics and engineering prerequisite classes such as Statics and Dynamics. While at PCC I would volunteer in the study hall by helping fellow students with their math homework. From PCC I transferred to Portland State University. I am currently working on my bachelor's of science in mechanical engineering degree. I currently tutor Algebra 1 through 4, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus 1 and Physics. My favorite subject to tutor is Calculus 1 because that is where I find mathematics to become very interesting.I believe that each student has their own unique approach to learning new subjects. It is the obligation of the tutor to shape their method of teaching around the student's unique set of strengths and weaknesses. By discovering where a student has a gap of understanding in a subject and helping the student to bridge that gap, a foundation can be created in order to progress to the next level of a subject.Outside of school I like to Play and record music at home, read books and work in the garden.

Frequently Asked Questions
AP Economics is an advanced course usually taken by juniors and seniors, but some accelerated 9th graders do pursue it. The course covers microeconomics and macroeconomics principles, including supply and demand, market structures, inflation, unemployment, and fiscal policy. If you're a 9th grader considering AP Economics, you'll need strong foundational math and analytical skills. Personalized tutoring can help you navigate the rigorous content and develop the critical thinking skills the AP exam requires.
Ninth graders taking AP Economics often struggle with several areas: abstract economic concepts (like elasticity and comparative advantage), graph interpretation and creation, real-world application of theories, and the fast pace of course material. Additionally, managing the course alongside other freshman responsibilities can be overwhelming. Expert tutors can break down complex concepts into digestible pieces, build confidence with graphing skills, and help you develop study strategies that fit your schedule.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to focus on your specific weak areas—whether that's macroeconomic principles, test-taking strategies, or managing exam anxiety. Tutors can create targeted practice test schedules, teach you to identify question patterns and formats, help you manage time during the exam, and build your confidence through consistent, focused preparation. This individualized approach is far more effective than generic test prep, allowing you to maximize your score potential.
Look for tutors who have strong economics knowledge, experience teaching advanced students, and the ability to explain complex concepts clearly. They should be skilled at creating visual aids and graphs (critical for AP Econ), patient with foundational skill gaps, and knowledgeable about AP exam format and scoring rubrics. Great tutors also adapt their teaching style to match how you learn best and help you develop problem-solving strategies rather than just memorizing facts.
With consistent personalized tutoring, many students see noticeable improvement in understanding within 4-6 weeks, especially if they're struggling with specific topics. For exam score improvement, a longer timeline (3-6 months of regular sessions) is more realistic, as you need time to build deep conceptual understanding, practice extensively, and develop test-taking confidence. The key is consistent practice between sessions and applying concepts to different problem types.
Yes—one major advantage of personalized tutoring is building confidence through mastery. When you understand concepts deeply and practice with actual exam formats repeatedly, anxiety naturally decreases. Tutors can teach you specific test-taking strategies (like time management, process of elimination, and question prioritization), help you recognize your progress, and build your trust in your abilities. Many students find that regular practice tests under timed conditions especially help reduce exam-day stress.
Score improvement depends on your starting point and effort level, but research shows that focused, personalized instruction typically results in 1-3 point gains on the AP 5-point scale. If you're starting below a 2 and commit to regular tutoring, reaching a 3 or 4 is very achievable. Remember that AP Economics rewards deep understanding and application of concepts, not memorization—so the most important measure of progress is gaining true comprehension of economic principles, which naturally translates to better exam performance.
