I am a recent graduate from the University of Alabama who will be starting at Yale Law School in the fall of 2019. I double majored in International Studies and French with a minor in African American Studies. During my time at UA, I participated in mentoring programs that allowed me to work with elementary school children, in addition, to being a coach for children aged 2-18 years old. I entirely self-studied for the LSAT and scored in the top 1 percentile, so I am well prepared for helping students achieve their law school goals. Hobbies: reading, music, writing, art, books, running
Maxwell
AP Calculus BC Tutor • +33 Subjects
I am an undergraduate student at Yale University. I am working towards a Bachelor of Science in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology along with a certificate of advanced language in Spanish. I currently do research studying changes in stem cells and gene expression during different planarian physiological processes. I am extremely interested in biochemical and biophysical processes, closely tied to my interest in STEM courses and education. I have the most experience tutoring math, science, and Spanish, using my personal and current education with feedback from previous students to refine my approach. In high school I started a student success center during covid to provide free online tutoring, providing tutors in all subjects during set hours of the week. I work hard to create a comfortable environment to reduce the stresses and pressures of tutoring, not only allowing me to enhance my student's education but do so in a way that is most suited to their learning styles. I have gone through the college application process recently and would love to share my knowledge of standardized testing (study tips, general questions, and subject-specific tutoring), college preparation, and the application process. Outside of the classroom, I dance for Sabrosura (Yale's Premier Latin Dance team), explore what borders campus on walks and hikes, and love trying new foods and experiences.

I have extensive experience tutoring the SAT/ACT, but my favorite subject to tutor is math. Though it can be a daunting subject for many students, I strive to make math accessible and even enjoyable. In my spare time I enjoy weight training and spoken word poetry.
Stephanie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +54 Subjects
I am a senior at Yale studyung Neuroscience and History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. I am a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a recipient of the IB Diploma. My academic background includes extensive experience in rigorous college level classes at the IB and Advanced Placement (AP) level. As a member of my school's math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, I have volunteered my time at a local middle school to tutor students in different math levels from pre-Algebra to Geometry. I also absolutely love languages. Aside from being a native Spanish speaker, I have been studying Italian for the last four years and feel confident tutoring in these subjects. Another subject I enjoy tutoring is Standardized Testing, where I help high school students prepare for exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Preparing for these exams is crucial in order to achieve a good score, and I always make sure that my students are comfortable with both the format and the material on each exam. As a student, I know how important tutoring is, not only to improve grades but also to gain a better understanding of the material. Whenever I dedicate time to tutoring, I try to keep things engaging and fun. Motivation is definitely a key to success, and I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance any student can achieve their goals. Hobbies: books, writing, reading, traveling, music, art, travel
