Charles
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am a junior Mechanical Engineering major at Yale, and I hope to become a Naval Aviator after college. I am also a varsity sailor, and enjoy playing music with friends when I can get some free time. I have been tutoring my fellow students throughout my entire academic career, and I would best describe my tutoring style as one that adapts to each students' needs. For example, I have always tried to frame questions in a different way so that the student can better understand the question. Some students need visual representations of numbers and systems to understand them, and others benefit more by understanding the concepts behind each formula. I prefer to tutor in math and physics, and especially with real world application problems. I hope to help students improve their standardized test scores and their understanding of the math and sciences so that they can achieve their academic goals! Hobbies: art, books, running, reading, music, writing

Justin
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +48 Subjects
I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art
Ingrid
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.
Elena
Calculus Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a graduate of McGill University (BA First Class Honors) and the University of Edinburgh (MSc First Class Honors with Distinction) with over eight years of tutoring experience. I am currently a curriculum developer for a company which creates relatable and culturally-literate courses for middle and high-schools, and am particularly adept at communicating and explaining concepts in a quirky, engaging, and intelligent manner. I was named Scotland International Young Thinker of the Year 2014 for exactly that sort of work. Much of my tutoring background is in test-prep and essay coaching, which I enjoy because it allows the tutor and student to think strategically together, and work as a team to achieve concrete results. I have worked with students ranging in age from 6-32, and believe that, in an educational context, a few jokes never hurt anybody. I love reading and learning, and my educational approach is centered around making the material just as engaging to students as it is to me. I think J.K. Rowlings, the writer of Harry Potter, is just as brilliant as Stephen Hawking, and in my free time, I manage my (terrible) fantasy baseball team, write songs for my comedy band, and crack jokes about terrible science-fiction movies with my friends.

I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths!

My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.
James
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PRAXIS Speech Language Pathology exam (Test 6330) assesses your knowledge across speech-language pathology foundations, assessment, treatment, and professional practice. Effective preparation typically involves reviewing core content areas like phonology, language development, fluency disorders, and voice disorders, while also practicing with sample questions to familiarize yourself with the exam format. Many candidates benefit from a structured study plan that breaks content into manageable sections and allows time for review and practice testing.
Test-takers frequently find the diagnostic and treatment sections particularly challenging, especially when questions require integrating knowledge across multiple disorder categories or applying principles to unfamiliar clinical scenarios. The neurology and anatomy components also trip up many candidates who haven't recently reviewed these foundational areas. Additionally, questions that test subtle distinctions between similar disorders or require understanding of evidence-based practice standards demand careful attention and deep subject knowledge.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows a tutor to identify your specific knowledge gaps, focus on the content areas where you struggle most, and target your study time efficiently rather than reviewing material you already know well. A tutor can also explain complex concepts like phonological processes or neurological foundations in ways that match your learning style, provide immediate feedback on practice questions, and help you develop test-taking strategies tailored to how you approach questions. This focused approach typically leads to faster improvement and better retention than generalized study materials.
The best tutors for this exam have deep knowledge of speech-language pathology content, clinical experience, and familiarity with PRAXIS exam patterns and question types. They understand not just the 'what' but the 'why' behind concepts—being able to explain why certain treatment approaches are evidence-based or how neurological systems affect communication disorders. Additionally, experienced tutors excel at diagnosing where you're losing points, breaking down complicated topics into clear components, and connecting theory to practical clinical applications that make the material stick.
PRAXIS Speech Language Pathology passing scores vary by state, but typically range from 162-172 on a scale of 100-200, depending on your licensing board's requirements. Most candidates see meaningful score improvement when working with a tutor because instruction can be customized to target your weakest areas rather than spending time on content you've already mastered. Many students also benefit from learning strategic approaches to ambiguous questions and gaining confidence through repeated exposure to authentic exam-style questions.
Most candidates benefit from 2-4 months of consistent preparation, though the ideal timeline depends on your baseline knowledge and how recently you completed your graduate coursework. Speech-language pathology graduate students often compress their timeline into 6-8 weeks if they're fresh from relevant coursework, while candidates returning to study after time away may need longer. Personalized tutoring can help you make efficient use of whatever time you have by prioritizing high-impact content and cutting through less relevant material.
The exam covers foundational knowledge in areas like normal speech and language development, anatomy and physiology of speech and hearing, phonology and articulation disorders, language disorders across the lifespan, fluency and voice disorders, hearing impairment, cognitive-communication disorders, assessment and diagnosis procedures, treatment planning and intervention, and professional issues including ethics and evidence-based practice. The test also includes questions about multicultural competence, counseling families, and documentation. A comprehensive study approach ensures you're comfortable across all these domains rather than leaving gaps that might cost you points.
