Language is learned through interaction with others. Being able to speak...

Jera

Basic Computer Literacy Tutor • +16 Subjects

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in December 2021, and completed my teaching licensure requirements there, as well, in both Elementary Education (K6) and Special Education (K12) in April 2022. I recently completed my student teaching in a 4th grade classroom in North Carolina. I have a passion for nurturing minds and helping students grow so that they can reach for their own dreams. I get particularly excited when I can work with students in developing their executive functioning skills such as organization and how to support a limited working memory. I am prepared to tutor any age student.

Angela

College English Tutor • +15 Subjects

I graduated from Purdue University, earning a Bachelor of Arts in World Language Education with a focus in Spanish, as well as a minor in Anthropology. I am a very passionate and experienced tutor. During my time at Purdue, I worked with one of my professors on a program called "Ayuda y Aprende". We went to the local middle school and high school once a week and tutored the English Language Learner students. I absolutely loved those four years of tutoring. I have also taught Spanish classes and been a Spanish tutor. I love helping students reach their goals, and I believe every student has potential - we just have to find the best way to get there together using the student's preferred learning style. Outside of teaching and tutoring, I am very involved with music, hiking, and swimming. I love being outdoors and swam competitively growing up. All through my life, I have also played instruments and sung in choirs. I love learning through and listening to music. While my favorite tutoring subjects are Spanish and ESL/ELL, I also enjoy tutoring reading, writing, and public speaking.

I'm a recent Northwestern grad and NYC transplant, with a passion for reading, fashion, and social media. In addition to tutoring, I've spent multiple years interning in the literary world and working at my university's fashion magazine; I have both a diverse range of experiences and an eye for detail. I don't believe in giving anything less than 110% of my time and effort, especially when understanding the needs of my students.I coincidentally also happen to adore alliteration, fancy fairytales, and constantly consume coffee.I'm currently available full-time as a tutor in a wide range of subjects, though my availability may become more limited in the coming months as my daytime employment changes. I am available by both phone and email; my contact information is available below.Thank you so much for reading!

Amanda

Biology Tutor • +5 Subjects

I received my bachelor's degree in biological sciences from Clemson University in 2006 and my PhD in Plant Pathology from the University of Florida in 2011. Plant Pathology is a specialized discipline in the field of microbiology which is a combination of plant sciences (horticulture, genetics, etc) with microbes which parasitize plants. My tutoring experiences includes more than 5 years of working with interns, and non traditional students in laboratory and classroom settings. I really enjoy teaching all subjects pertaining to the life sciences, including biology, microbiology, plant sciences, and genetics. Living organisms, their surrounding environment, and genetic make-up have always fascinated me since I was a child. It is a passion which was developed early and one which I adore.My education and teaching style has been honed through the land grant extension service, whose core mission is to teach people to help themselves. Therefore I tailor my teaching style to each individual or group by creating hands-on applications of the teaching topics and by challenging students to think by asking informed and engaging questions. Additionally, I most importantly believe that a fun engaging environment creates passion and desire to learn, inquire, and achieve great things.Outside of the classroom I really enjoy the outdoors from hiking to gardening to practicing yoga. I also love to cook and create down home "soul food" with a twist. Since I do come from two schools with large football cultures, fall is my favorite time of year. There is something about the crisp air, the color change in the trees, and the collegiate excitement around this sport that makes me feel extremely nostalgic and excited. Also I really love harvest festivals, the fairs, and the art shows. There is something about fall that brings out the creativity in people.

Aaron

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +40 Subjects

I am a graduate of Michigan State University, where I studied Mathematics and Interdisciplinary Humanities. I am currently enrolled at the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy, where I study Development Economics and International Monetary Policy. I have worked as a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

William

Biology Tutor • +9 Subjects

I majored in biology at Grove City College, PA and Cleveland State University, OH. I majored in zoology at Ohio State. My degrees are BS, MS, and PhD. My teaching began while I was earning my advanced degrees, and I enjoyed it so much that I am still teaching biology classes at Tri-C. Classes I have taught include Anatomy and Physiology, Ecology, and General Biology. My favorite subject is ecology because I can study outdoors in forests and streams. I teach the way that I was taught by my favorite teacher. He made the students feel comfortable and made learning fun. I like to describe subjects in ways that make it interesting to the student. I am passionate about learning and I love to share this passion with my students. I love walks in the woods where I can discover new things while I enjoy nature. I also love to read, especially science fiction and fantasy.
