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!

Hi students and parents, I am passionate about teaching and I believe in student specific teaching to compliment their strengths and improve on their weaknesses. I try to use real work examples to make learning fun and engaging.I have a bachelors degree in Physics BA, and a PhD from Dartmouth and perfect math scores in both the GRE and SAT math sections. At 27, I am relatively young and can still relate to students who may need assistance in achieving their academic goals.I can tutor SAT/ACT math, GRE math, in addition to high school/college science and math subjects like: algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and Physics.I started tutoring students one-on-one 8 years ago and also been a teaching assistant in over 10 classes during my PhD.
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.

I have been a senior English teacher for nearly four years, not including my student teaching.On the personal side side, I enjoy cars, hikes, and strength training.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS Art exam (5401) assesses knowledge across art history, aesthetics, art criticism, and studio practices. The test covers major artistic movements and periods, understanding of visual elements and principles of design, ability to analyze and interpret artworks, and knowledge of contemporary art issues and practices.
A tutor can help you focus on the specific content areas where you need the most support, whether that's strengthening your art history foundation, mastering visual analysis techniques, or deepening your understanding of art pedagogy and classroom applications.
Personalized tutoring provides targeted feedback on your specific weaknesses rather than generic test prep. A tutor can identify whether you're struggling with visual analysis skills, art historical knowledge, or test-taking strategy—and create a customized study plan accordingly.
Unlike solo study, personalized instruction allows you to ask questions in real-time, engage in discussion about complex artworks and movements, and receive guidance on how to approach multi-part exam questions. This interactive approach typically leads to faster improvement and deeper comprehension than independent study alone.
An effective PRAXIS Art tutor should have strong knowledge of art history, contemporary art practices, and the exam format itself. They should be able to explain visual concepts clearly and help you develop analytical skills for interpreting unfamiliar artworks on test day.
Look for someone who understands the pedagogical component of the exam and can discuss how art concepts apply to classroom teaching. Experience preparing other candidates for the PRAXIS Art exam is valuable, as is the ability to adapt explanations to your learning style and identify your specific knowledge gaps.
Most candidates benefit from 4-12 weeks of focused preparation, depending on their art background and starting knowledge level. Someone with a degree in art or art education may need less prep time, while those with limited formal art training typically need more time to build foundational knowledge in art history and criticism.
Personalized tutoring can accelerate your progress by concentrating study time on the content you find most challenging rather than reviewing material you already know well. Even candidates who studied art extensively can benefit from structured test prep focused specifically on the PRAXIS format and the types of visual analysis questions you'll encounter.
Many test-takers struggle with the breadth of art history content—trying to memorize every movement and artist rather than understanding overarching themes and connections. Others find the visual analysis section challenging because it requires both knowledge of specific artworks and the ability to analyze unfamiliar pieces using design principles and critical thinking.
Additionally, some candidates underestimate the pedagogy component, which asks how art concepts and practices apply to teaching K-12 students. A tutor can help you develop efficient study strategies for art history, strengthen your visual literacy skills, and ensure you understand the educational applications expected on the exam.
Yes—many successful PRAXIS Art test-takers don't have memorized every artwork or artist. Instead, they understand key movements, artists, and periods, and can recognize stylistic characteristics and historical context. A tutor can help you build efficient knowledge frameworks rather than trying to memorize endless lists.
Personalized instruction allows you to focus on the periods and movements most heavily tested, identify patterns in art historical development, and develop strategies for analyzing unfamiliar artworks using visual elements and historical knowledge. This conceptual approach is far more effective for exam success than rote memorization.
Visual analysis is a learned skill that improves with practice and feedback. A tutor can teach you a systematic approach to analyzing artworks—identifying visual elements like color, line, and composition; recognizing stylistic characteristics; and connecting visual observations to historical context and artistic intent.
Regular practice analyzing diverse artworks across different periods and cultures, combined with tutor feedback on your analysis, builds confidence for test day. You'll learn to approach unfamiliar pieces with a structured methodology rather than relying on prior knowledge, which is essential since the exam includes contemporary works you may never have encountered.
