Hi! I'm Siara Goodways, a tutor with a background as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA), and I specialize in helping students build confidence through personalized, goal-focused study strategies. I use my training to support language development, comprehension, and communication skillsmaking learning clearer and more effective. I also spent a year teaching ESL/ELL in Japan, which allows me to connect with students from diverse backgrounds and adapt to different learning styles. As a mom and a current graduate student at Capella University, where I'm working toward my Master's in Psychology, I understand the challenges students face and how to support them in a realistic, encouraging way. I stay up to date on effective, research-based study methods and strive to create a positive, supportive environment where students feel confident and capable of reaching their goals.

I have a master's degree in physics with research emphasis in astrophysics from San Francisco State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in physics and astronomy with a minor in math. Currently I am an adjunct instructor at Mesa Community College teaching astrophysics courses. I have four years of teaching experience in astronomy and physics lab courses at San Francisco State University. I acquired excellent teaching skills while I was a graduate student at San Francisco State University for which I even received an honor of outstanding physics teaching assistant from San Francisco State University. I was also a math instructor for a Summer Bridge program at San Francisco state University where my responsibility was to teach first year college algebra. I have tutored kids in the age group of 8 to 15 in the subject areas of science and math. I tutor math (calculus, differential equations, algebra, geometry and trigonometry) and science courses (physics, astrophysics, planetary science). I enjoy teaching in general and am passionate about math, physics and astronomy. I firmly believe that education is one of the most important tools in shaping a child's life and I would love to be a part of that process. In my past experience I have noticed many students struggle with subjects like math and physics and my goal is to try to make it a fun experience for them. In my spare time I enjoy reading books, biking, hiking , running and snow boarding. During my graduate program I liked volunteering at our college observatory and I still like to take my telescope out occasionally for star gazing.

I knew I was a linguist at a young age. I loved to spell and learn the meanings of words in English but that developed to other languages too. Learning Spanish became not just an elective class that I had to take but it became a lifelong learning passion. Growing up in the southwest of the United States, I started learning Spanish at age 9 in the classroom; went on my first student exchange at 10; continued taking Spanish throughout high school and completed a minor in my undergraduate degree. I went on to serve in the Peace Corps in Ecuador and then returned to teach Spanish to high school students as a long-term substitute teacher. I enjoy speaking Spanish and tutoring others to grow to enjoy the language too.

I received my BA in Special Education and Elementary Education from Northern Arizona University. My Master's is in Education - Administration and Supervision. I have worked with special education students all of my teaching career. I have also been in Special Education Administration as well as a High School principal. I believe each child should be taught where they are emotionally, mentally, and educationally.

"I don't just teach students what to learn but how to learn it."When I first heard the word philolexian, I realized that it is the best word I can use to describe myself. From the ancient Greek, it means "lover of discourse" which I also translate to mean "lover of learning." As a philolexian, I believe that I can learn just as much from my students as I can teach them. However, there is nothing that excites me more than to inspire and guide students on their path to academic success and achieving higher education.A little bit about my background. I earned my Bachelor of Science degree in Educational Psychology from the University of Minnesota and my Masters in Education degree in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University. My past research has focused on the psychology of student learning, study skills, peak performance, and career development. My current interest is focused on E learning and instructional design and it's role in higher education.I have been an English and Psychology college instructor and career specialist for over 15 years teaching courses and workshops for high schools, colleges, non profit and government organizations.Just keep in mind that if you really try and get the most out of tutoring, it will first blow your mind and then change your life forever! Also, there are NO stupid questions. I am looking forward to getting to know you.

I believe that all students are capable of learning any subject they pursue, and with this in mind, I genuinely want to cultivate this curiosity and watch students learn and grow. Throughout my high school tenure, I worked with a variety of age groups, ranging from 9 to 19 on various subjects, attempting to help expand their understanding in a fun and meaningful manner. I have always appreciated the hardworking nature of students, and come to learn that if you can teach a student right, they will always be willing to learn any subject regardless of difficulty. As an engineering student at Northern Arizona University, I am qualified and skilled in mathematics ranging from Algebra to Calculus, as well as both creative and non-creative writing styles which grant a major proficiency in English grammar, syntax, and diction. Also, considering my background as a military dependent, I have lived overseas in Japan, which have granted me an extensive knowledge of Japanese culture and customs, including a conversational understanding of the language and its utility. Japanese and English are my favorite subjects to study by far, as language is a hobby I enjoy, but I always have fun in any subject when the student and I can enjoy and appreciate the session as a whole. On that note, I have always prided my philosophy when it comes to teaching, as I believe every individual has their own strengths and weaknesses of acquiring and remembering information. I believe that identifying these aspects of a student's mindset and using them to "rewire" the way they process information can have a lasting impact on how they perceive learning altogether. Outside of academics, I really enjoy Pokemon, art, and hiking!

Student of life with a passion for design, development, and creativity! Before I began my work in game development, I was actively pursuing an audio engineering degree at Northern Arizona University. Before that, I was a tutor at an after-school program in Chandler, teaching young students the basics of math, science, engineering, and coding! I have and will continue to tutor a wide variety of STEM subjects, I am most passionate about programming and game development! I have been developing games since I was a young child, and I want to share that joy with other ambitious learners!

I graduated from Northern Arizona University with Bachelor's Degrees in Physics and Astronomy. Mathematics is an important part of both fields and my strong suit. Consequently, I have a minor in Mathematics that I have applied to my work on endless occasions. My math background encompasses basic subjects like algebra, geometry, and calculus up through advanced subjects such as linear algebra, multivariable calculus, differential equations, and advanced geometry. During my senior year I received a NASA Space Grant and began research with the U.S. Geological Survey Astrogeology Research Center in Flagstaff, AZ. This project eventually became my Master's Thesis.I graduated a second time from Northern Arizona University with a Master's Degree in Applied Physics. My research emphasis was planetary science, which allowed me to become very involved with the U.S.G.S. My planetary studies required me to not only focus on the physics of planets, but also on their geology. As such, I have a broad range of academic backgrounds, including astronomy, astrobiology, field geology, and geomorphology. I've even assisted in research at the Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario, Canada and attended numerous scientific conferences.During my graduate studies I taught three different lab courses: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Life in the Universe. These were intended for non-physics-major students, so I have had extensive practice in bringing even the most advanced concepts down to a level that any student can understand. The lab courses were also relatively small (between 10 and 20 students). The small class sizes allowed me to learn to teach with hands-on methods as well as lecture-style methods, many times in a one-on-one setting.I love to teach, plain and simple. To witness a student truly understand a concept is very rewarding for both the student and the teacher. They say knowledge is power. Then to understand the universe (even just a small fraction of it) is power, indeed. SCIENCE!!!

I am a certified teacher in Arizona in Kindergarten through Twelfth grade. I have worked with students in the classroom for over ten years and most enjoy working with students struggling with English at all levels. I am competent in teaching decoding skills, working with sight words and phonics, teacing reading comprehension and fluency. I have taught preschool and first grade, and student taught in a third/forth grad classroom. I have spent six years in middle school English and four years in High School English. I've taught in an alternative school environment and have taught English language learners and students with IEPs, as a remedial skills teacher. I have a passion for reading and writing and I actually like working with teenagers. I am the mother of two boys under 5 and love seeing them grow. In my other job, I teach High School. I have both my Masters and Bachelors Degrees in Education.

Dear Spanish and ESL learners.. here is a little bit about me. Looking forward in helping you achieve your cultural, knowledge, and academic goals!!I am from Guadalajara Jalisco, Mxico and I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Spanish Education from Northern Arizona University as well as my Master's Degree.I've been teaching Spanish for ten years now. Through my teaching experience, I've had the opportunity to travel and meet amazing people!! Being a Spanish teacher has not only given me the chance to teach others my language but also the chance to learn about other languages and cultures.Learning a foreign language is not easy. It really takes quite a bit of work. The class will mainly be conducted in Spanish. You will be expected to speak in Spanish as much as possible. We all learn from mistakes and this is especially true when learning a foreign language!

As a passionate mathematics tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Northern Arizona University, I have over 4 years of experience helping students excel in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus and beyond. I believe in the importance of perspective and that most people approach problems and learning differently. I try my best to tailor my teaching methods to accommodate those diverse learning styles.

I was born in The Netherlands and have lived on the West Coast (CA and AZ) since the age of 7. I attended Northern Arizona University and obtained a BS in Sociology and a BA in French in 2013. My junior year of college, I had the amazing opportunity to study sociology in Montpellier, France. During college, I always stayed involved in with volunteer organizations and have worked with everything from building trails in the wild forests of Utah to befriending home-bound seniors get around easier. In life, I always try to surround myself with different people and environments.After working in a retirement home for a year, I decided to join Teach for America and began teaching in rural Eastern North Carolina. I had the pleasure of teaching second grade for two years. The students had skill levels and interests of all kinds, and I truly learned how to adapt and facilitate. Although we were an underfunded district in a low-income rural area, we created a classroom centered around exploration and diligence. By the end of the year, students were telling me things about the world that I didn't know!The best moment is when a student figures or learns something on their own because of the tools you have given them. That's what makes me excited about tutoring one-on-one in New York City.I enjoy tutoring elementary subjects because they can be done in very creative and engaging ways. Even math can be drawn, sung or painted. My sessions will strive to create real connections and interactions with the content.I can also tutor in French for all ages.Outside of tutoring, I am working on an educational app that would coach parents on how to help their students with academic vocabulary. I also enjoy music, art, biking, hiking, traveling and exploring coffee shops.

I love teaching and getting to know my students! My goal in every course I teach is to make the complicated simple and easy to understand. I have taught a variety of subjects and age groups. I currently teach psychology and statistics at Glendale Community College and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish. I look forward to my time working with students and will do everything I can to help you succeed in your class!

My father loved camping and the out of doors and so some of my earliest memories are of camping in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. As a family, we took extended trips through the western United States, Canada and Alaska, towing a travel trailer and camping in mostly primitive camps. As a young teen, I started backpacking in the mountains of New Mexico and Colorado and developed a great love for the mountain and canyon country of the west. It was this great love of nature that attracted me to science--first as a Forestry major at Northern Arizona University but which eventually evolved to the study of chemistry, as that seemed to me the basic science that was as the heart of understanding nature. While my love of learning was probably instilled in me very early in my life (thanks to my parents, I was an avid reader), it really came out while in college. In finishing my chemistry degree, I realized I was just beginning to learn what I wanted to learn and went on to graduate school to get a PhD studying Physical Chemistry at Purdue University.I am now retired from full time teaching, but not from my love of learning (nor my love of the mountains) which has continually evolved. My experiences of teaching science from demonstrations in elementary school to graduate level courses have given me a great interest in the teaching of science to the general public and sharing with others, that same awe, wonder and appreciation I have."To become educated is to become more human."

I'm a teacher and tutor living in Sedona, Arizona. I'm a licensed Secondary Education teacher, and I've tutored everything from Elementary math and language arts through upper-level literature and composition. Growing up in the Sonoran Desert brought me close to folks from many kinds of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I'm a fluent Spanish speaker and I love working with students who are learning a second language, be it English or Spanish.I bring a passion for teaching and learning to all areas of life. I'm particularly excited about meeting each student's individualized learning needs, using non-traditional teaching methods to learn with a sense of play and discovery, while still meeting our academic goals.

I am a graduate of Northern Arizona University. I received a Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education. Since graduation, I have been teaching kindergarten in Gilbert Public Schools. I love teaching and have always enjoyed helping others be successful. I love all subjects, but I love history the most. Teaching is my passion, but I do expect students to be able to have a fun and structured learning environment. I've realized that students do best with consistency and genuine care. I try to make my classroom fun and structured! My students get to enjoy their learning experiences and I get to enrich their learning with fun and structured activities and lessons. I love teaching, but I also enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and growing as a student myself! I believe in continuing my life in education and building a great foundation not only for my students but for my own children.

I am currently finishing my Master degree in Public Health at the University of Texas and planning to apply next year for my doctorate. I am originally from Lebanon and came to the United States to fulfill my dreams. I am fluent in three languages: Arabic, French and English. I have a chemistry degree and a minor in biology from Northern Arizona University. Throughout my undergraduate degree, I was very blessed excelling in my classes and I had the privilege tutoring for the Multicultural Engineering program at Northern Arizona University. I helped a lot of engineering students succeeding in their math, physics, and biology and chemistry subjects. I had as well private sessions for students and professors who had the desire to learn French and Arabic.Besides tutoring, I experienced the art of research in three different laboratories in Northern Arizona University and in Baylor College of medicine: the Biophysics Laboratory, the Microbial and Genomic Laboratory and the Cell Biology Laboratory. I enjoyed designing experiments and working on different instruments. The link between theory and practice, the methodical laboratory preparations, and the tangible results of successful experiments, all seemed to strengthen and solidify my tutoring skills in science.I believe “The purpose of education is to replace an empty mind with an open one” (Malcolm S. Forbes). It is a joy for me to make a difference in people’s life though education.

I firmly believe that language arts and writing help us understand, interact with, and express ourselves to the world. Mastering these skills will improve your relationships, opportunities, and hobbies. I can't wait to help you on this journey!

I am here to help. Learning and taking tests can be stressful. Some students benefit seeing the structure of how prior learning relate to the current ideas. Others approach learning in much less linear fashion. Getting to know the student and their learning style can reduce their frustration. I hope to help get people into the zone where they can learn without being frustrated.

I love helping students learn and grow while making sure they are being challenged. I enjoy learning and I am hoping to instill that same thing with the students I work with.

As a passionate tutor with over 2 years of experience supporting college students in subjects such as Algebra, Statistics, and Coding. My teaching philosophy centers on stepping into the learner's perspective and understanding each student's unique perspective and learning style, which allows me to identify knowledge gaps and tailor my approach accordingly. I believe that effective tutoring is about fostering critical thinking and confidence, equipping students with the tools they need to succeed academically. I am motivated by the opportunity to empower learners and witness their growth, making each tutoring session a collaborative and enriching experience.

I am currently a college student working towards my bachelors degree alongside an accelerated masters. I like helping people in general but I also try to explain things in as many different ways as I can so that people can understand. I like when people ask questions no matter what they are because thats exactly how I learn too. I also like messing around and trying not to keep the learning environment too serious so people can have fun learning. In terms of my education I currently have 2 associates degrees that I earned from Palomar with emphasis in science and math. I'm currently working towards my bachelors in computer engineering, and am also taking an electrical engineering accelerated masters at the same time. I've been a tutor for 4 years now in math related subjects, I feel pretty comfortable with all math subjects and if I forget anything I just need a quick refresher and I'll be able to do it again. Other than that though I don't really have a favorite math subject to tutor and honestly for me it's the students themselves that make it fun. I like being able to mess around with them while making things more understandable since I feel that would make the material stick a bit easier.

During my undergraduate years, I tended to hang out with the math crowd, despite my status as a physics major. I joined math club at my university (NAU) and enjoyed subjects within math. Even today I will choose to read mathematics material over topics in science, which is a switch from my younger years. However, physics was the start of my passion for mathematics, and I hope share this sense of awe with you, or anyone I am teaching/assisting. I have been fortunate to have been given the opportunity to teach a calculus class, for two years, and every part of it has been rewarding. And for the past two consecutive summers the University of Arizona has given me the chance to connect with my science roots and conduct some cutting-edge optics research.

I had the privilege of attending Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff in order to obtain my Master's degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in teaching. During the past two years, I have spent time developing my teaching and tutoring skills. I have taught several college courses and loved every minute of it. I was also able to spend two years as a private tutor, providing one-on-one assistance with writing and test taking preparation for a college student in Psychology. I am also my little sister???s unofficial Spanish tutor ??? she is a high school student currently taking Spanish 2. She likes the extra help from time to time, and I love practicing my Spanish (as well as the valuable time I get to spend with my sister!).As a tutor, I am professional yet approachable and easy to talk to. I think it is important to be able to have a level of comfort in a tutoring relationship, and in this way learning thrives.My tutoring philosophy consists of two major elements: Communication and productivity. It is important to me that the student is able to express his or her thoughts freely, and that each session is enjoyable. Sessions should also be productive ??? each meeting is worthwhile and things get done. To optimize learning, the student should play an active role in the learning process. This enhances learning by allowing the students themselves the opportunity to strengthen the connections in the brain that produce learning.When I am not perfecting my tutoring skills, I find myself involved in music in some way. I play the drums and have been playing for ten years. I also like to play the piano, guitar, or any instrument I can get my hands on. Music is a big part of who I am. I would be happy to recommend Spanish musicians to any Spanish-learning students who share a love of music as well!I best like spending my time talking and getting to know people ??? every person in this world has something unique and interesting to offer. Tutoring is a wonderful opportunity to do just that!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Arizona State University, along with post-baccalaureate work in Secondary Education, History and Political Science. I also hold a Masters in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University. I am currently gearing toward a Masters in History.I have over twenty-seven years of experience as a classroom teacher, and have also been a tutor during that time. I have taught middle school mathematics, science, psychology as an elective, and social studies, which is my favorite subject. In social studies, I teach history (U.S. or World), Civics and Geography. I also tutor all the subjects mentioned, and have also taught religious studies.I enjoy tutoring most age and age groups, especially fourth grade through high school.I must also mention I work a great deal in developing the writing skills of my students, especially involving the use of the Six Traits of Writing.In tutoring, I work with a student's most effective style of learning. Anything can be learned if it reaches a student through their best learning modality. I know from experience anyone can and does learn. It is simply a matter of finding your own style, and I can help in that area. Oftentimes, clients choose a tutor because they share a similar hobby. In my spare time, I enjoy living history as a reenactor, especially with the American Civil War. I am also an avid reader, focusing on history and short story fiction. I am also a huge Disneyland fan. Finally, I enjoy most competitive sports, including baseball, basketball, football, and ice hockey (which I have played).

I have been teaching 7th and 8th-grade math for several years. I have also been tutoring math students from 6th grade to 10th grade in math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry. I like to let the student drive the tutoring session. If you just want someone to validate your answers, teach you a different way, or just sit and work the problems together, I'm your person! I like to talk about sports and rollercoasters. I don't want to be just your tutor--I want to be your math advocate as you progress through your math classes.

I am a passionate educator with a Master's degree in Education from Northern Arizona University and over 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring across a wide range of subjects. My background includes elementary reading, secondary history and social studies, and special education. I began my career as a high school history teacher, teaching world and American history as well as psychology and sociology, and later worked in a large Phoenix-area school district's homebound program. I am currently a social studies teacher for an online charter school and work as an instructional aide for a large university. I enjoy working with students individually and in small groups and helping them achieve their personal academic goals.

I have been teaching students for over ten years. I love to help students of all ages, of all learning types. I strive to encourage students and to motivate them to love learning any subject!

I'm a recent graduate of Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor's Degree in Philosophy, Politics and Law. I had a minor in communication, and graduated summa cum laude from the Honors College. While in college, I was President of our Mock Trial Club, which required me to educate new members about the nuances of trial advocacy (such as broader procedure, criminal and tort law, and my favorite: rules of evidence).Before embarking on my pre-law journey, I was always a musician, and I remain one at heart. I'm a percussionist, and I've played anywhere from the Arizona All-State Band to casual rock bands with my friends. Regardless of the context, music primed me to see the art in everything that I do. It has influenced the way I live my life, the way I think, and now the way I teach. As captain of my high school drum line, I discovered that different people learn in vastly different ways, and it's entirely the instructor's responsibility to adapt to that. Failure to understand a concept reflects on the teacher rather than the student, and I now know this quite well having led several competitive teams, I rely on the students who I teach. As an LSAT instructor, it's my responsibility to adapt to your learning habits and ensure a deeper understanding. What's more: I take what I do seriously when you hire me, your LSAT success is my mission.I can surely get excited and ramble about music or about mock trial, but the same could be said of the LSAT! I truly had a great time preparing for and taking the test, and I'm here to ensure that you get the same experience. I'm looking forward to working with you!

I'm dedicated to helping my students in any way I can. I'm a flexible tutor, willing to conform to how my client needs me to help them, whether that be constant hands on or timely chime-ins. Whatever I can do to help, I will do!I tutored students through my middle school and high school experience. I was also Valedictorian for my High School, and involved in many extra-curricular clubs, so I can interact and help anyone!I am currently able to tutor:-Middle School Science, Math, English, and Writing-High School English and Writing-Basic Biology-English Writing and Reading-Pre-Algebra-AlgebraI'm currently a Master's student at USF working towards an Athletic Training certification. I'm happy to answer any questions about college/college applications!

I am a certified high school teacher in Arizona. I specialize in GED prep, Elementary to High School math,SAT or ACT prep. My teaching philosophy emphasizes two-way communication; I actively engage with students, encouraging them to articulate their understanding and strategies. You should choose me because of experience mostly and ability to work and adjust with all skill levels. My somewhat low rating 4.2 came from instant sessions with elementary and middle school kids who would use this platform to cheat on the exam and I was trying to teach them.

I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Science in Speech Sciences and Technology. In my spare time, I like to swim, watch movies and go to baseball games. While I was completing my undergraduate degree, I did a 100 hour internship. This internship allowed me to work with children, assisting speech therapy sessions, in the school setting. This was a great experience and really made me realize how much I love working with people, especially children. I was also lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with special education children as well. I love working with special education children and understand their needs and desires to succeed in school. Working with people is my desire and helping them succeed is my passion. It is important that tutoring is specific to the child's needs so that it has a positive impact on their school work. I believe that education is achievable for everyone and that it is truly an accomplishment when the child reaches those educational goals.

I am currently a full-time instructor for Grand Canyon University in the College of Education. Prior to joining GCU, I taught high school and middle school English in three districts across the Phoenix area over an 18 year span. While teaching in high school, I had the opportunity to teach writing classes at night at University of Phoenix. I really enjoy helping students with writing. I have a simple way of breaking down the writing process into basic chunks that help students understand and apply these ideas. I've worked with student ranging in ages from 5 to 60 years old in my years of teaching.Personally, my life seems to revolve around sports. I have three teenage daughters who play school and club volleyball, and my wife coaches volleyball. I played football in college and coached at the college level before I began teaching high school. There, I was a varsity football and baseball coach for many, many years. I see a lot of connection between athletics and academics, and I work very hard to inspire all of my students to instill a little competitive spirit in them, so they will work hard to always be their best.

My name is Meghan Ellett and I taught 4th and 5th grade for the past three years. I have stepped away from the classroom to continue my love of learning and exploration of the world. I think education is the foundation to a successful and fulfilling life. You can always learn something new!

I have experience working with a diverse range of students and can adapt to the needs of each unique learner. I aim to provide one-on-one individualized lessons for each client. For the last year, I have been working as a teaching assistant to an honors faculty member at Arizona State University (ASU). As a teaching assistant, I prepare class materials, perform lectures, grade written assignments of at least 120 students per semester, and individually tutor undergraduate students in overcoming academic difficulties. My goal is to instill a passion of lifelong learning and to teach critical thinking to every one of my students as I believe these are driving factors in students' success both personally and professionally.I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Masters in Social Work and am working on a Masters in Public Administration at ASU. These programs have sharpened my study skills, essay writing, reading comprehension, public speaking and critical thinking abilities. In turn, I am able to tutor students in developing these important skills. While in school, I also worked as a Constituent Services Coordinator for Congresswoman Sinema which required me to develop excellent organizational and time-management skills that I am excited to pass on to my students!I have been trained in direct behavioral health assessment and treatment, as well as in communication studies, developing and presenting curriculum, public budgeting, human resource management, program evaluation, policy analysis, advocacy and much more! My diverse academic and employment history has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals from all ages and skill levels. I look forward to providing quality tutoring to learners on a full range of subjects including test preparation, and am happy to accommodate my clients by having a very flexible schedule!

Hello! I am a community college professor of biology with 16 years teaching experience. I teach general biology and human anatomy and physiology, and have experience teaching students from ages 17 to 60. I welcome the opportunity to tutor and learn with you.

I've a passion for language, literature, culture and travel. Continuing to learn as I teach is vital to me and tutoring affords me the fantastic opportunity of sharing my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. I got my English degree from Northern Arizona University where I was also an athletic trainer. While my love is admittedly poetry and literature, I am also a science geek and medicine called to me before teaching did. My TEFL with an IELTS certification allowed me to live and teach in Indonesia for almost three years. I taught a wide age range of students both in person then online extensively (as most of found ourselves in early 2020 and then too long after that). Being a curious bird by nature, I found the cultures and languages of Southeast Asia to be captivating. I asked as many questions of my students as they did of me and that helped us relate and work together. Some of my proudest times there (and when I returned home teaching online and in class) were when I would have students with those aha! I get it, I can do it ! breakthroughs. I am currently learning Spanish ( again) and definitely appreciate those forehead smacking aha! moments for myself, as well. For my IELTS and TOEFL students, we started from where they were and built on strengths while working on the tough stuff, primarily writing. I truly believe that listening to students is key for success for both parties. Continual communication is extremely important. Humor and having fun while learning is not only possible but necessary for me and is the way I prefer to teach and tutor. I have found that mistakes will and must be made to move forward, and keeping it light while still putting in the work helps immensely.

I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary English Education. I took additional classes in Journalism and ELL. While in college, I tutored high school students after school for a college program. I was fortunate enough to complete my student teaching in Bamberg, Germany working on the army base teaching 7th, 8th and 10th grade Language Arts. After I finished my student teaching, I came back to my home state of Arizona and began teaching in the west Phoenix area. I have been teaching at my current school for three years. I taught 8th grade my first year and this is my second year of teaching 7th grade Language Arts. I really enjoy working with all the quirkiness that comes with middle school. I have been reading apprenticeship trained, which focuses on students discovering the answers through annotation of a text and meta-cognition. This year, my school has adopted the Engage New York curriculum, so I am familiar with some of the struggles that arise from the new common core. I am very familiar with writing a successful piece of writing through my school curriculum and this year we are working on incorporating ideas from a text into writing. Currently, I am training to run a marathon with one of my fellow Teachers in February. I also enjoy relaxing with a good book or movie, crafting ideas from Pinterest, and traveling.

Hello! Nice to meet you! My name is Alisha E. Teaching is my passion! When I see the looks on my students faces when they achieve academic success it makes me so proud! I am very much a people person which helps me reach all the students I teach, whether adult or child.I am an Arizona Certified teacher with a valid fingerprint clearance card. I grew up and went to high school in the Philadelphia area and then attended the University of Arizona where I earned a degree in Political Science. I earned my Master's degree in Education Leadership and Administration at Northern Arizona University. After spending 11 years teaching in Paradise Valley Unified School District, it was time for a change so now I am now a full time tutor.My experience as a teacher was not solely in the classroom. I have spent 10 years tutoring home bound students for the school district in a wide range of subjects, but focused mainly on math. (I tutor up through Algebra 3-4 and Geometry. I can tutor most subjects through the high school level aside from foreign languages and sciences.) In addition as a teacher, I was a leader on my campus as part of our leadership team and Student Council Adviser.My philosophy as a tutor is to work with the student one on one and to connect with him or her. As a middle school teacher, by doing this, I was the fun, popular teacher on campus. My performance evaluations say that, and I have thousands of former students who would say that as well, but most importantly I get results!I would love to help you out! Contact me now so I can help YOU achieve SUCCESS!Sincerely,Alisha E., M.Ed.
