I have many interest in life and love to share in coaching and tutoring those. I think partnering with those youths and adults interested in criminal justice, business, or just wanting help with cooking I am here to help. I always have my hands in new adventures, and I love learning new things, so I am always open to new ideas and new ways of teaching. Let's grow and learn together!

As a writer and English professor, helping people tap into the power of language is my passion. I have tutored students of all levels throughout my career, from high school students hoping to improve their essay writing skills to PhD candidates working on dissertations. In my own academic journey, I studied creative writing. I love bringing the sense of fun and freedom, along with many of the techniques and practices I learned in creative writing classrooms into my work with students.

I have a holistic view in terms of tutoring and teaching. All students learn in different ways such as visually, kinetically, auditorily, and other ways. I am committed to finding the best way to help my student learn the material even if it means going above and beyond the call of duty.Personally, I am a Psychology and Gender Studies double major graduating in May 2017. After that, I will be attending a masters program in mental health counseling and eventually going on to get my doctorate in clinical psychology.My skills include time management, test-taking skills, writing aid, reading comprehension, verbal and reading skills, and test preparation.

Ari

Algebra Tutor • +60 Subjects

I am a graduate of a school in northwest Pennsylvania with a degree in Biochemistry & Piano Performance and plan on attending Medical School in the near future. In my four years there, I was selected by the department chairs to be the designated tutor for Mathematics (Precalculus to Calculus 3), Organic and General Chemistry, Biology (Cellular, Molecular, Developmental, and Genetics), and Physics, each for minimum of one year. The reason I agreed to tutor again and again each year they approached me is because I simply loved it. It is hard to describe the wonderful feeling of seeing a student you helped master the material in front of you and run through problems like they're nothing. My favorite question since childhood has been "why?". I was never a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation. Sometimes my students also develop a passion for knowing why and I love it. I'm not a tutor automaton though; my other hobbies/passions include piano, weight lifting, classical music (and concerts), composition, and environmental activism. In addition to tutoring, I've spent time in my institution as the head of research regarding nuclear import receptors via the genetic engineering of yeast to express the human AR receptor and the transformation and construction of plasmids.

Sheila

Elementary School Math Tutor • +11 Subjects

I am a proud graduate of Grambling State University in Grambling, LA. I received my Bachelors Degree in Computer Science. I have always loved working with children. I was a Bible Study teacher and coordinator for over 25 years. At one point in my career, I took a break from my technology career to pursue a career in education. I successfully completed several classes at Touro University in California. I started working as a substitute teacher in 2000. I taught students from elementary to high school. I received so much positive compliments from the staff until one day I was offered a position as a high school Math teacher. I taught Algebra I and Geometry for about 3 years until I became a single parent. Unfortunately, I had to leave teaching and go back into technology to support myself and my three children. Now that my children are grown, I am looking into going back into education in my spare time. I am starting out by tutoring. I also have accepted a position to teach children 6-12 years old (reading) in China online. I also plan to go back to school to pursue degree in education. I have always loved working with students and have often been told that this is my calling/gift.

Nathalia

AP Spanish Language & Culture Tutor • +12 Subjects

Since I was born and raised in a Latin American Country, I am well positioned to teach both the culture and the language. I consider this to be a great advantage, as immersing students in the most fascinating aspects of Hispanic culture can stimulate their motivation and interest in learning Spanish. It is extremely important to me to encourage students to learn and understand the importance of cultural diversity. As a Spanish teacher, I understand the relevance of the Spanish language as the second most spoken language in the U.S. I am concerned about creating a comfortable atmosphere where the learning process can be natural and dynamic and where students can feel they can achieve their goals. I have a positive attitude and I am tremendously engaged and passionate about my career. I design my lessons with flexibility of students' needs, expectations, and learning styles.I have a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy and Humanities as well as a Master's degree in Higher Education with an emphasis in Philosophy from one on the most prestigious universities in Colombia. My outstanding academic accomplishments, which include an undergraduate GPA of 3.7, graduate GPA of 4.0, a merit scholarship, a perfect scoring thesis, and a Maxime Cum Laude academic honor, make me suitable to provide solid instruction for all students. I have taught and tutored the Spanish language at both secondary and college level students for more than six years. Moreover, I have experience teaching other subjects such as Modern and Contemporary Philosophy and Latin American Literature. Furthermore, I worked as a philosophy researcher for the Colciencias Institute, the most important research center in Colombia. I have published several articles as well as participated in different symposiums and congresses at an international level. Finally, as a tutor, I have worked at different companies in Fairfield County area instructing adults.

Algebra Tutor • +40 Subjects

Growing, I was lucky enough to learn to take immense pride in my academics. My grandma is a retired math professor and my mom double majored in English and math and went onto law school where she met my dad. When it came to the classroom (and on the athletic field), my dad only asked for my best effort while my mom always wanted me to bring home the A and the win (thankfully no matter what I brought home she still loved me because I was not the most gifted athlete). My experiences with my parents' academic philosophies led me to develop one of my own: commit to the process, do your best, and earn the grade.During my undergrad years at the University of Florida, I earned my degree in Business Administration with an outside concentration in Sports Management and minored in Entrepreneurship. Outside of the classroom, I was a student manager for the Florida Gator baseball team that won two SEC titles and made two trips to the College World Series in my 4 years with the team.When not helping others excel in the classroom, I can be found enjoying football, baseball, and basketball, working on my terrible golf game, trying new recipes in the kitchen, and enjoying beautiful South Florida with friends and family.

Frequently Asked Questions

Police officer exams typically test reading comprehension, math, logical reasoning, and situational judgment—with most candidates finding the situational judgment and reading comprehension sections most difficult. These sections require not just subject knowledge but the ability to apply critical thinking and understand how police procedures work in real-world scenarios. Personalized tutoring helps you identify your specific weak areas and develop targeted strategies rather than spending time on material you've already mastered.

Most candidates benefit from 4-8 weeks of focused preparation, though this varies based on your starting point and the specific exam format your department uses. With consistent, personalized instruction, you can accelerate your progress by focusing on high-impact areas rather than generic test prep. A tutor can help you create a realistic timeline based on your baseline performance and target score.

Expert tutors for police officer exams understand both the academic skills being tested and the job-relevant context behind those questions—especially for situational judgment sections. They can explain not just why an answer is correct, but how it reflects actual police work and decision-making. This real-world insight, combined with personalized instruction tailored to your learning style, produces faster improvement than one-size-fits-all prep courses.

Situational judgment questions require you to think like a police officer—considering legal standards, community relations, and departmental procedures. Personalized tutoring walks you through the reasoning behind correct responses and helps you understand common scenarios you'll encounter. Rather than memorizing answers, you develop a framework for evaluating situations, which transfers directly to both the exam and the job itself.

Absolutely. The written communication section tests your ability to write clearly and professionally—a critical skill for police reports and documentation. A tutor can provide targeted feedback on your writing, help you recognize common grammar and structure issues, and give you practice with the specific types of prompts your exam includes. With focused practice and personalized guidance, most candidates see significant improvement in this area.

Score improvement depends on your baseline and available study time, but candidates typically see 10-20% improvement over 4-8 weeks with consistent, personalized instruction. Some gain more if they're addressing specific skill gaps in math or reading comprehension. The key is targeted practice on your actual weak points rather than reviewing material you've already mastered—which is exactly what personalized tutoring provides.

Police officer exams typically focus on practical math applications: percentages, ratios, basic statistics, and word problems involving distance and time. You won't need advanced calculus, but you do need to work quickly and accurately under pressure. A tutor can help you identify which specific topics are your challenge areas and teach you efficient problem-solving strategies that save time on test day.
