Award-Winning AP US History Tutors serving Bellevue, NE

...I am a lover of all things humanities, be it history, economics, psychology, anthropology, philosophy or anything else in that area. Former debater/mock trial competitor for any of you involved in that too. I'm finishing up a bachelor's of science in history with a minor in economics, so I would call history and econ my strengths. I like to think the thing I'm best at is helping people understand ideas by meeting them where they're...

...Diva Agarwal. I'm from Omaha, Nebraska but am currently going to be a senior at Saint Louis University. I'm a neuroscience major with minors in public health and biology. I enjoy teaching others especially in the areas of psychology, reading, and biology. My goal is to put the student first and work at their pace, hoping to make them feel comfortable and confident after a session. I think learning should be engaging as well as...

...I went on to study geology and biochemistry at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. While my desire to engage with the natural world persists, this past fall I began an MD/PhD program at the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha, Nebraska to achieve my dream of becoming a physician-scientist. With a rich history of working as a tutor and mentor for students from a variety of backgrounds, I am incredibly excited to dedicate myself...

...studying neuroscience at Saint Louis University in Missouri. Throughout my time in high school I have tutored students of several different age groups in numerous subjects. I have helped coach high schoolers on standardized tests such as the ACT and PSAT, middle schoolers in beginner Spanish, elementary school students in basic mathematics, and many more! When it comes to ACT and PSAT, I believe in simplicity and routine. I have helped coach several students to...

...as the AP American Government/Comparative Politics exams. I also offer ACT/SAT Writing, ACT/SAT Reading, SAT Verbal and ACT English tutoring. My approach to tutoring is centered on the belief that nothing is particularly difficult if you just break it down into small parts. For example, things like Advanced Placement tests and standardized tests when viewed as a whole can seem like daunting tasks which require lots of higher order reading, writing, and thinking skills. However,...

...I have tutored students from middle school through college-level and had tremendous pleasure of helping over 50 students achieve their potential and dramatically improve their grades and test scores. Seeing the students I have worked with succeed provides me with tremendous satisfaction and drives me to continue tutoring. I specialize in tutoring for standardized tests, including the MCAT, GRE, SAT, and ACT, and have scored in the 99th percentile on the MCAT, SAT, and ACT....

...native who is studying for the bar after graduating cum laude from Northwestern University Law School this May. I studied at St. Ignatius College Prep and graduated summa cum laude from Villanova University (including a two-term stint at Cambridge University). Between Villanova and Northwestern I worked at an academic non-profit organization and evaluated hundreds of fellowship candidates' writing and academic work. I will work with each student to craft a personalized plan of study and...

...A&M University as a psychology major with minors in neuroscience and Spanish. I graduated from Texas A&M with a Summa Cum Laude distinction in May 2015 and went straight into my graduate coursework. Given my own testing experiences and the value I place on higher education, I love to help others feel as confident as they can when they walk into that testing room, whether for AP, ACT, SAT, or GRE exams. The process of...

...senior at Northwestern University and I will be receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and Legal Studies this spring. In the fall, I will begin attending law school at Northwestern Law. For many years, I tutored a wide range of students in Spanish, English literature, and writing. I have also continued to help many high school seniors with college application essays. While I tutor a variety of subjects, I am very passionate about...

...the material to stick with the student. The point of learning is to allow the recollection of material over a medium to long period of time. Cramming only works for the short term, and is not favorable to learning the material well. My hobbies include reading speculative fiction, biking, and music. I have played the viola for the better part of a decade, and enjoy playing in quartets. I also very much enjoy travelling to...

...enough, a ballroom dance instructor. My academic strengths are fairly broad, with expertise in mathematics and standardized testing. A couple fun facts about myself: I'm from New Jersey and of Italian decent, so I naturally love cooking and all things pizza. My favorite childhood book is The Giver by Lois Lowry, and favorite high school class was physics (rockets, easy winner). I enjoy playing guitar and ride my bicycle on a sunny day.... Anything can be...

...mathematics and science as well as standardized testing like the ACT and PSAT. Standardized testing was not always my strong suit, so I understand the drive and the practice needed to achieve my students' goals. I love being a resource and guide for students and adapting to whichever learning styles best fit them. The tutoring experience is extremely rewarding to me as I am challenged by my students to think more creatively and make connections...

...areas of English, literature, and writing. I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and spending time with my friends and family...

...upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too! I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up...

...the specific test we are preparing for, but anywhere else it may come up. Memorizing words or equations might help somebody in the short term, but understanding why that word means what it means, or what an equation is actually depicting is worth the extra effort. Besides test-prep I think I can be a great help in writing and editing, as I have experience in everything from short, timed essays such as the SAT essay,...

...have the benefit of working with someone who has been on their side of the table. I was tutored in Math both when I was younger and in college, and currently have a tutor for the LSAT. I actually love being tutored, as I get the personalized attention that I need, as well as little tips and tricks that aren't necessarily taught to the larger class. I believe that having this experience as the pupil allows...

...with no preparation. I would also like to aid in the development of strategies that are applicable to general assignments instead of focusing on learning a subject simply to get a certain grade on a test. I will share my own strategies of time management, relaxation, memorization, and preparation if needed and use those to help build new sets of strategies specific to each student's wants and needs. Learning should be as much of a...

...long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a reality that institutional education cannot accommodate. I make it my priority to determine what methods of demonstration and motivation are best suited to every student I work...
