Mark G. - Issaquah, WA 98029 (34.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $38.50/hr.
I follow the method of G. Polya in his classic work "How to Solve It".
By asking the right questions, one can help the student define his problem, form a plan for the solution, carry out the plan, and examine the result.
I also try to work as many difficult problems from the student's text as time permits, in order to show that all problems have a solution, and the student can build confidence in attacking any problem.
I try to present the material in as many ways as needed, so that I can match the subject to the student's style of learning. I was a senior scientist - engineer for 37 years.
I retired to care for my comatose wife at home, and she died a few months later.
This situation has left me open to new directions.
My teaching experience has been 3 years as a graduate teaching assistant, and 2 years as a tutor to friends and family in science and mathematics.

Olivia P. - Seattle, WA 98112 (39.3 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My teaching philosophy centers on individualized instruction. Rather than assuming a one-size-fits-all approach, I tailor sessions to meet your student’s learning style and needs. I respond to learning challenges with flexibility, creativity, and positivity. To achieve best results, I engage your student in the learning process, break complex concepts into simpler parts, and target instruction to build specific skills. I’m a Washington State Certified educator with over ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I’ve taught in both alternative and traditional schools, and have tutored a wide range of learners—from homeless youth to gifted students at top performing schools. I earned my B.A. in English Literature and Washington State Teaching Certificate for Secondary Education from Seattle Pacific University in 2009. Currently I'm pursuing a Masters in Clinical

Avrielle C - Enumclaw, WA 98022 (13.2 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $42.00/hr.
I have a B.A. in Technical Theatre. This knowledge in the backstage end of theatre deals greatly in literature, particularly the study of dramatic writing. Having already a strong knowledge of English studies this experience has further aided my skills in grammar, analytical input, as well as in reading and writing practices. Having graduated Magna Cum Laude I am confident in my literary experience and my ability to pass it on to children of all ages. This knowledge has been greatly reinforced by my prior position as a teacher's assistant for almost two years. I have worked closely with the children on reading, writing, math, and science and greatly enjoy witnessing their accomplishments in these subjects. As a teacher's-assistant for children ages 4-6 I have been able to gain experience working with them one on one and in whole groups for almost two years. This has taught me the va

Amy E - Sumner, WA 98390 (13.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I consider myself to be fun and entertaining and very approachable in my teaching methods. I never lose patience with students and believe that making mistakes is equally as important as making progress. All students can become better writers with a little hard work and a bit of desire to do so, and I can give them the tools to produce their best writing to date. I have worked with at-risk children in the Chicago Public Schools system to teach a wide range of skills, primarily focusing on college readiness skills, essay and resume writing, ACT preparation, and remedial and advanced reading techniques. I am also highly qualified to teach speech and journalism, and have a year of experience in each as well. I feel I can make the most impact on students when I work with them one-on-one, and so I am excited to transition from the full-time teaching to the tutoring field.

Amelia C - Puyallup, WA 98373 (13.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $40.00/hr.
My experiences as a home school instructor for my children at the secondary level of education, as a personal tutor for SAT and GRE test preparation, and as a teaching assistant at the university level have provided me with the requisite skills to assist students at various levels of education. In addition to preparing and presenting a full curriculum (including, music, art and foreign language) for my children over a period of four years, I also have two years experience tutoring in basic grammar and writing skills and library research techniques to university students. My teaching style, derived from a one on one approach as both a home tutor and teaching assistant, is simple: provide an open environment in which pupils feel free to ask any question. The most important aspects of tutoring are positive reinforcement, repetition, and assisting students as they develop confidence and lear

Stephanie H - Enumclaw, WA 98022 (15.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $37.00/hr.
I love helping and teaching children. I have given riding lessons to all ages of children for years, realizing there is no better feeling than helping children accomplish their goals. I would love to help children in any way I can to meet their academic goals, I know what it is like to have to study hard for what you want to accomplish. Being 25 I feel, and just being a graduate myself, I think can be a way to relate to the children and what they are trying to achieve. I would love to gain this type of experience and would really enjoy this type of work. I also have had a lot of psychology classes and feel that I am good at connecting with people and understanding the problems they are trying to get through. I just graduated from PLU with a degree in Business, a concentration in human resources, and a minor in psychology. I maintained a high GPA throughout my college experience and gradu

I love to help all ages in need of a little help passing there classes and/or understanding what they are being taught in school. i am a very dedicated, motivated, patient, and considerate to the fact that results are not always immediate and that some time it takes time. my goal is to provide children and young adults with the opportunity to feel proud and satisfied with the fact that they are just as smart as others and were able to pass. i can only hope that my help with these kids lives help them to enjoy learning and feel a sense of self accomplishment My drive for knowledge enabled me to complete three degrees by the age of 22. I have high grades in all my classes as well as the extra science and writing classes I take on the side. I have a AAST in environmental science and technology, a BA in marine science and environmental studies, and will have my BS in one quarter. As well as

Thomas F - Ft Lewis, WA 98433 (22.6 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $44.50/hr.
I will be upfront, I was known as a firm, but fair, teacher. I see science as a field primarily learned through doing, and I enjoy performing science demonstrations with my students to help illustrate new concepts. At the same time, I expect students to attempt to solve problems on their own, as opposed to simply memorizing how I solve problems. While it is sometimes difficult at first, I find it gives them confidence to approach future concepts and ideas both in and out of the specific science course. As a high school teacher, I facilitated the instruction of approximately 100 students in Chemistry in accordance with Massachusetts Learning Standards. Developed and implemented course curriculum for the Forensic Science course, including labs featuring gun shot residue testing, urinalysis, and DNA electrophoresis . Supervised the after-school chemistry tutoring program for all high school

Nathaniel W - Kent, WA 98035 (24.1 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $43.50/hr.
From 2005 to 2008 I worked as a teacher and tutor for a Seattle-based test preparation firm. I taught classes for the SAT and GRE and tutored the SAT, GRE, and ACT. I believe I met and exceeded the high standards set by this organization. In 2008 I worked as a regional field director for the Obama campaign in several states, leading trainings in voter contact activities, campaign software systems, and other volunteer activities. Training volunteers of all different backgrounds and educational levels was the key to my task. I believe that instilling the confidence to learn is the key to effective instruction. Students need confidence not only in their instructor’s mastery of the subject matter, but also in their own ability to gain their own such master. This is not to suggest that rigor should not be applied, but rather that a student must have an emotional engagement with the learning p

Stuart M - Tacoma, WA 98406 (24.9 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $42.50/hr.
The cliche saying of "practice makes perfect" does not stray too far from the core of my teaching philosophy, however I do differ on a key point. I believe that practicing anything (whether or not it relates to academics) can only be done successfully if certain foundational skills are present; just as a baseball player, regardless of inherent talent, will fail if they do not know how to hold a bat correctly, so will an English student fail, regardless of the inherent quality of their thought processes, if they do not understand how to properly structure an essay. Practice must thus be accompanied with structured guidance in order to ensure that a strong foundation is in place. I hold an MAT (Master of Arts in Teaching) degree from the University of Puget Sound, am Washington State certified to teach secondary English/Language Arts, and am passionate about helping others to develop an

Monica C - Tacoma, WA 98406 (25 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $58.50/hr.
My teaching style involves being open and relatable while keeping he conversation related to learning and the subjects of importance. I feel like students respond best when they are in a positive work environment and are pushed to be their best. This involves teaching through the Socratic method, of forcing individuals to answer their own questions. I believe that tutors and teachers should be providing students with the tools and skills they need to be productive students instead of giving away answers. I have been tutoring as a volunteer and as a job for a combined 7 years now. I have worked in both one on one tutoring with a dyslexic student, tutoring in specialized topics, and group peer tutoring. My longest individual tutoring experience has been with Aidan, who is dyslexic and I have been working with for 4 years. We focus on taking the larger, more daunting tasks and breakin

Daniel B - Tacoma, WA 98405 (25 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As a tutor, I work through problems/passages with a student to determine weak points to address and to find ways for the student to connect with the subject matter. Once I determine a student’s interests and academic strengths, I present new concepts in ways that make more sense to the student and hopefully interest him or her more. Because many students falter due to lack of motivation, I also believe that it is vital to a student’s continued success to explain how an understanding of the subjects he/she is studying will allow him/her to reach goals for high school, college, and beyond. My ultimate goal is to help a student come to regard academic success as something of which he or she is capable. I attended Foss H.S. in Tacoma and was awarded the International Baccalaureate diploma with the highest cumulative score in my class. I then attended the University of Chicago, where I ea

I am a graduate of Cetral Washington University, with a BA in Elementary Education and a Minor in Reading. Before enrolling at the university and during my time there, I worked with elementary school children, helping them with Reading, Writing and Math skills. I have a special interest in Reading in Writing and enjoy helping students"turn on the Lights" on these skills.
I have 10+ plus years teaching as a certified teacher and some experience as an undergraduate. I have worked in diverse school distrcict with many family of various races and economical situations. I believe students learn best in a situation they feel safe in. Not all students learn at the same pace, learning style, or level. I take these things into consideration as I am planning lessons.

Shivani R - Tacoma, WA 98466 (26.8 mi) - SAT - Verbal Tutor - $39.50/hr.
As a doctor of Biomathematics, I have a deep passion for mathematics and applied mathematics. From my undergraduate days as a math major at Columbia University, to the intensive research of my doctoral program, I have developed a finely tuned understanding of mathematics and the applications thereof.
I have taught college courses both independently and as an assistant for 9 years, and am very comfortable teaching any level of mathematics. I enjoy one-on-one work, and find this to be the best learning environment for many students.
Currently, I conduct part-time research and am hoping to expand my work as a private tutor of mathematics. My goal as a math tutor is to enhance my students’ understanding of mathematics. Often, classroom instruction alone is insufficient when it comes to learning complex subject matter. Some students might benefit from added practice, while others mi
