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.

Cara

AP Biology Tutor • +16 Subjects

I am a graduate of Liberty University, where I received a Bachelors of Science in Environmental Biology. While there, I also obtained a Virginia teaching license in General Biology for grades 6-12. After graduating and getting married, I moved to South Florida, where I now attend Florida Atlantic University in pursuit of a Master of Science Degree in Environmental Science. I have been tutoring various subjects since high school, but find Math and Science to be my strongest areas. While at Liberty University, I worked as a Biology tutor both for the Bruckner Learning Center and for the Biology Department itself. For my education certification, I completed several Biology practicums including a semester of student teaching 6th grade life science at Linkehorne Middle School. Now as a graduate student, I work as a Teaching Assistant by teaching Comparative Vertebrate Morphogenesis, Human Morphology, and Anatomy and Physiology labs at the FAU Davie campus. I am very passionate about all things Science and Biology remains my favorite subject to tutor. While tutoring, I bring my extensive content knowledge, patience, and creativity for developing personalized tutoring and studying techniques. When I am not in class or tutoring, I enjoy tennis, biking, reading and being an officer for South Florida’s Herpetology Society (a society for amphibian and reptile lovers).

Jack

Algebra Tutor • +22 Subjects

I am an undergrad at the University of Chicago, having graduated high school at Jesuit Dallas. I am currently pursuing a major in Computer Science and a minor in Math. I am interested in teaching as a possible profession, so I am planning to attend graduate school in a few years and planning to get a TA job in upcoming quarters. I tutor Computer Science, Math, and Physics, for Middle and High School students, and maybe college students in intro classes. I am most passionate about teaching programming because I find it to be a very useful and engaging skill; a lot of my friends at UChicago come to me when they have trouble working with Python or R, so I also have the most teaching experience with this field as well.I believe everyone learns differently, and I aim to be flexible to meet the different learning styles of my students. My general approach, however, emphasizes discovery and the learning process, rather than the rote memorization of rules and facts (this is why I prefer teaching Math, Computer Science, and Physics instead of fact-based domains like History and Chemistry).In my free time, I learn more about programming, which I apply in the context of programming competitions and game design. I also love playing board games with friends and family.

Algebra 2 Tutor • +9 Subjects

I am a current student at the University of Central Florida studying electrical engineering with a minor in computer science. When I began attending college I realized that I had a real passion for helping my classmates understand any topic that would be difficult for them, and this is what encouraged me to become a tutor. I have previous tutoring experience in subjects from Chemistry to upper level math. My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus, Algebra, and Engineering Statics. I strongly believe that the key to teaching a student is to show empathy and patience, as well as demonstrating how what is being taught can apply to real-life scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions

Admissions committees want essays that reveal something authentic about who you are as a person and thinker, not just your credentials. The strongest essays typically feature a clear narrative or argument, specific examples that illustrate your point, and genuine reflection on why law school matters to you. They avoid clichés, demonstrate self-awareness, and show how your background or experiences have shaped your perspective on justice, problem-solving, or service.

A tutor can provide detailed feedback on your writing that goes beyond surface-level editing—they'll help you identify patterns in how you argue, where your authentic voice shines through, and areas where you're relying on overly formal or generic language. Through revision cycles and targeted discussion, tutors help you find the balance between demonstrating intellectual rigor and maintaining a natural, compelling tone. This personalized guidance is especially valuable because your essay voice should feel distinctly like you, not like a template.

Your personal statement typically focuses on a formative experience or aspect of your identity that shaped who you are, while a diversity essay explores how a specific background has influenced your perspective. A 'Why Law' essay directly addresses your motivations for pursuing a legal career and what you hope to accomplish. Tutors can help you develop a strategy for how these essays work together to create a complete picture of you as an applicant, ensuring each essay serves a distinct purpose without excessive overlap.

Strong law school essays typically follow a clear arc: an engaging opening that draws readers in, a developed middle section that unfolds your story or argument with specific examples, and a conclusion that ties your narrative back to your goals or values. Whether you're telling a personal story or making an argument about why law appeals to you, the structure should create momentum and help readers understand the significance of what you're sharing. Tutors can help you identify where your essay loses focus or where transitions between ideas feel abrupt, then work with you to strengthen the overall architecture.

Most strong application essays go through at least 3-5 meaningful revision cycles, though this varies based on where you're starting. Early drafts focus on getting your ideas and story down; middle drafts involve restructuring for clarity and impact; final drafts refine language, tone, and polish. Working with a tutor can accelerate this process by giving you targeted feedback on each draft rather than revising in isolation. They can help you identify which revisions will have the biggest impact, so you're not endlessly tweaking but strategically strengthening your essay.

Students often fall into patterns like being too formal or abstract (saying what they think admissions wants to hear rather than what's true), trying to cover too much ground (resulting in a scattered essay with no clear focus), or relying on generic phrases about the law and justice. Other common issues include weak openings that don't grab attention, insufficient specific examples to support claims, and endings that merely restate the introduction. Tutors are experienced at spotting these patterns and helping you move beyond them through targeted revision.

Writer's block on application essays often stems from pressure to make the essay perfect from the start or uncertainty about what story to tell. Tutors recommend starting with free writing or brainstorming exercises where you explore potential topics without worrying about quality, then reviewing what emerges to identify the most compelling threads. A tutor can help you generate and evaluate story ideas, ask clarifying questions that help you discover what you want to say, and create a manageable outline so you're writing with direction rather than staring at a blank page.
