I am a current student at Northern Arizona University and I am studying Elementary Education with an emphasis in K-6 Math, Middle School Math, History/Social Studies, and Humanities.Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher and I have used that passion and drive to learn the most I can about being a successful, kind, and supportive teacher/tutor. I have cherished my extensive time as a teacher's aid in the classroom, and along the way have developed my own teaching style. I believe that it's a teacher's job to help a student to enjoy what they are learning, so inquiry is a big part of my teaching style. I love to get my students engaged and intrigued by the subject they are working on. That way, the topics they are working through can be approached at a fun and exciting angle.Although I have a fondness for all subjects of learning, I have a true passion for mathematics. My previous major as a Secondary Education Mathematics student lead me to realize how much I love the thrill of solving a math problem. That is something I am so excited to share with my students! I am also passionate about organization and helping a student figure out the best way for them to learn/stay organized and efficient!Along with my love for math, I love to read, paint, and hike.

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.
Hello, My name is Ja-Laina. I am a Speech Language Pathologist who is passionate about helping others achieve their learning goals. I aim to create thoughtful, innovative and exciting lessons.

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.
Hi, I'm Madison, and I have a Bachelor's degree in Exercise Physiology from Northern Arizona University. My specialties include anatomy and physiology, Biology, Chemistry, writing, and music. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students can explore concepts at their own pace, fostering both confidence and curiosity. My passion for teaching stems from witnessing students who need a different approach to understand topics to succeed. I have hands-on experience with biology classes, having worked in my college's bio labs for two years and taught the coursework to TAs and students.

My goal is to build confidence, strengthen skills, and help every student succeed.
As a dedicated tutor pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering at Northern Arizona University, I am passionate about creating a supportive learning environment that inspires curiosity and confidence in my students. With experience in subjects such as Algebra, Calculus, and Middle School Math, I employ a hands-on teaching approach that makes complex concepts more accessible. My background in both the arts and sciences enables me to connect with students on various levels, allowing me to tailor my methods to their individual learning styles. I believe that every student has the potential to excel, and I am committed to guiding them on their academic journey while fostering critical thinking skills!

I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in English as a Second Language from Northern Arizona University. I was a teacher for 13 years in the SUSD school district where I taught grades 2-4. During the summers I worked with talented youth by teaching a pre-algebra course to 4th graders at Arizona State University. Throughout my career I have taught an array of learners and have developed many skills to meet individual needs. Throughout my teaching career to now, I have coached volleyball. I have coached at a variety of levels and age groups ranging from 11yrs-18yrs. I have a great passion for helping students succeed and have the patience and creative skill-set to make that happen. In my free time I enjoy playing volleyball, riding my bicycle with friends, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
I earned my bachelor's degree in psychology from Northern Arizona University and my master's degree in psychology with an emphasis in neuroscience from San Diego State University. I have been a teaching assistant for undergraduates and have clinical experience working with children and teenagers, both typically developing and with autism spectrum disorder. The subjects I tutor are varied, but I focus on statistics and mathematics through pre-calculus along with test preparation and essay writing. I am also available to tutor psychology and German (beginner- and intermediate-level). Although I enjoy helping students improve in all subjects, I find that tutoring for standardized tests offers particularly rewarding experiences given the potential impact on students' future academic endeavors. My teaching style involves helping students find their ideal learning style based on their individual strengths and unique way of perceiving information. I try to focus on teaching "how" to think constructively rather than "what" to think. In my free time, I enjoy exercising in some form outdoors, exploring good coffee shops and local restaurants, planning my next vacation, and spending time with family and friends.
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 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.
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!
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.

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'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 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 am a graduate of Northern Arizona University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Special Education. Since graduation, I have been teaching for three years in the AZ public school system as a special education teacher. While I teach a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading that which enriches my life, spending time with family and friends, working out and watching football.
I am a native Spanish teacher with a Master's in the Teaching of Spanish (MAT) and am originally from Colombia. Thanks to a scholarship, I earned my master's degree and have years of experience teaching Spanish courses at the college level. My training and experience allow me to offer high-quality instruction tailored to each student's needs. I am here to help you master Spanish effectively and enjoyably!
I am a woman who firmly believes that every person can learn. I believe that what is hard to get is treasured more. I believe that "try" is a dirty word; you're either moving towards the goal, you're backsliding, or you're dithering.
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!

I graduated from Northern Arizona University where I received my Bachelor of Science in Elementary and Special Education. Upon graduation, I served a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where I was able to teach and learn from the people in Oklahoma for a year and a half. After completing my mission work, I began my teaching career in Colorado. For 3 years, I taught students with disabilities ranging from learning disabilities to intellectual and physical disabilities. After getting married, I moved to Utah where I taught students with behavioral and emotional disabilities. I taught students grades Kindergarten through 4th grade in my 4 years of teaching. Therefore, I specialize in teaching young students with disabilities specifically in the core areas of reading, writing, mathematics, executive functioning, and behavior. However, I love to teach reading, especially to students who have dyslexia. I am Orton Gillingham Trained specifically for students with dyslexia because I am very passionate about teaching all students to read. I strongly believe that education is important to improve the quality of life for all people and I know that all people are capable of learning. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, exercising, and watching movies.
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.
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.

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 am currently enrolled in university, to pursue a degree in microbiology. In high school, I often tutored elementary and middle school kids in reading, writing, and math. I would love the opportunity to tutor you!
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 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 am a graduate of Arizona State University. I received my Bachelor degree in Elementary Education. Since graduation, I have started school at Northern Arizona University. I am completing my Masters in Continuing Elementary Education. I am in my fourth year of teaching at a Title 1 school here in the valley. In addition to teaching fourth and fifth grade, I have taught before and after school Reading and Math classes. I especially have enjoyed teaching our before and after school classes because I get to work one-on-one with the students. Although I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects, Reading is my passion! My teaching style is enthusiastic, loving, and engaging! I believe that each individual learner is different, therefore, it is crucial to use a variety of teaching strategies with students. I believe that using hands on manipulatives, comparing material being taught to real-life situations, and students having the ability to explain their thinking are key elements to learning. Aside from teaching I am an active person who loves to travel and spend time with family and friends. I also enjoy photography, paying the guitar and reading.
I have a MEd in Secondary English Education, a Masters in Literature, and 15+ years of tutoring or teaching experience. I believe we all need to find our WHY. Mine is to help students who struggle with English and school. I teach students reading and writing skills, but I also teach them to find the joy in education that is often lost when they struggle.
I am an HR leader with a proactive approach to Human Resources. With 20+ years of experience, I am a total HR nerd that loves helping other people learn how to be value-added business partners.
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 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 love reading and writing and all the elements that are intricately laced through those two disciplines. It is exciting the explore the possibilities of word choice and grammar, as well as the different lenses with which to analyze literature and explore themes.I graduated with my undergraduate in English Literature from Brigham Young University-Idaho. I received my master's degree from Northern Arizona University in Rhetoric, Writing, and Digital Media Studies. I taught English composition as an adjunct faculty at BYU-Idaho for two years. I am trained in the Suzuki violin method and taught violin lessons to children as young as five and adults. I believe that a person of any age can develop a musical talent and learn to analyze literature and become a high-level reader and writer.My favorite subject to teach is English composition.

As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Oregon State University and a second Bachelor's in Administration of Justice from Northern Arizona University and pursuing a Masters degree in Civil Engineering at Oregon State University, I am committed to guiding students through subjects like Algebra, Statics, Dynamics, Structural Analysis and AutoCAD. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to tackle challenging concepts. I strive to connect with each student personally, adapting my teaching methods to align with their unique learning styles. My passion for tutoring stems from a desire to inspire confidence and cultivate a genuine interest in the subjects I teach, ensuring that every student can achieve their fullest potential. In my free time, I enjoy engaging in physical fitness and outdoor activities, problem-solving activities, and keeping up with the latest advancements in engineering technology.
I received my Associates Degree in Elementary Education from Scottsdale Community College. Shortly thereafter, I completed my Bachelors Degree from Northern Arizona University with a dual major in Elementary Education and Special Education.My experience working with and tutoring children started when I was a para-educator at an elementary school while completing my degree. While working this job, I was able to work with students and help them to be successful in both their academic and social goals. Along with being a para-educator, I was able to work with students when I was completing my internships and student teaching for my degree. While student teaching, I worked with both high school students and elementary aged students. For the high school students, I would work with them in the areas they struggled most with, and we would have tutoring sessions daily to help them understand the subjects they were struggling with. With the elementary students, I would help to build the foundation of their knowledge in both math and reading comprehension through my lessons.I tutor in math, reading, reading comprehension and writing. My favorite area to tutor would probably be math. The reason for this is because math was something I always excelled in, and something that I would take joy in understanding while growing up. That love has not gone away and I love sharing my excitement for math with my students. I also love tutoring in reading and writing because although these subjects never came easy to me as a child they are things that I loved doing and worked hard to excel in.My tutoring style is characterized as laid-back. I want to understand my students strengths and weaknesses in the areas they struggle with so I can help them in the best way possible. I want to help to turn these weaknesses into strengths and help the students become confident in their abilities.Outside of tutoring my interests are in sports. I played competitive soccer growing up, and that consumed most of my life and helped to mold me into the person I am today. I also enjoy being outdoors and completing obstacle courses. I am always up for a challenge.
