Caleb
BA Harvard University
6+ Years Tutoring

I am a rising sophomore at Harvard College and I am studying social studies with a focus on Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations. I have lived my whole life until college in the incredible countries of Rwanda and Kenya (with one year in Egypt). Since education wasn't easily accessible to me through elementary school, very early on I had to learn how to love learning and teach myself. Even after many years of more formal education I haven't lost that spark and that ownership of my education yet! I love tutoring because it allows me to bring people into that same kind of ownership of their knowledge. I love tutoring all sorts of different subjects, but I have the most experience (and maybe the most love) for tutoring in calculus, French, Arabic, English as a second language, and test prep!

I'm a dental hygiene resident at UNC Adams School of Dentistry and studying to be dental hygiene educator. My thesis and research is focused on environmentally sustainable dental practices. Part of my graduate student duties is to educate and tutor adult learners on subjects such oral pathology, microbiology, tooth anatomy, and clinical skills. I also have experience educating and tutoring learners from grades pre-k to 12 on subjects that range from writing/reading to math. Educating and learning is for everyone but sometimes it's about finding the method that works for you. Personal understanding of what learning methods work and willingness to explore is key to lifelong academic success and development.

Samantha

6+ Years Tutoring

As a Science Education major at UNC and a Museum Studies: Science Education Master's student at Harvard University, I have learned science and math at a high standard, but, more importantly, have been taught how to frame my knowledge in fun and easy to understand ways. Although I am extremely passionate about all forms of science and math, I have discovered that my true passion is in teaching. I want to not only help my students learn, but to actually get them excited about what they study and to find what they enjoy in school. After working as a subcontractor to NASA, I pursued further studies in science education while teaching middle school math. I have worked in the field of education for a decade and have tutored students from four years old to over eighty. Everyone has different ways of learning and I strive to cater to that. I have tutored, taught at the high school and college level, and worked as an educator at a planetarium and an aquarium. I am extremely dedicated to my students as I always want them to succeed as well as have fun with their education. I am excited to start learning together!

I am a current undergraduate student at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering. I am pursuing a bachelor of science in engineering in mechanical engineering, a minor in computer science, and a certificate in innovation and entrepreneurship.

Additionally, I have experience working with children as an instructor for Techsplorer's engineering camps/workshops and as a member of the YMCA Leader's Club.

I am a graduate of Duke University with a dual Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Economics. I started tutoring in high school, working with Spanish-speaking ESL students in their native language as volunteer service. Due to my exceptional academic performance, family friends and members of my local church would often ask me to tutor their children, a request I would grant as much as my schedule allowed. My professional experience with tutoring only began in college, when I was hired as a teaching assistant for the Duke TIP summer program. After graduation, I worked for an international test prep company for two years. In addition to teaching classes on the SAT, ACT, and SAT II Subject Tests, I also provided private tutoring services in high school-level math, statistics, and physics.

9+ Years Tutoring

I am a senior college student at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, majoring in Philosophy with a minor in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I have experience working with elementary and middle school students, but am also prepared to tutor students at the high school level. I am proficient in writing, reading skills, composition, IB Extended Essay and Theory of Knowledge tutoring, as well as philosophy and psychology. My favorite area of tutoring is, naturally, philosophy, given the analytical and logically focused virtue of that domain, though writing and reading skills are inherently tied to its practice, and I therefore also favor working with students in these areas. My main goal with students is to endow them with the skills necessary to excel in their chosen fields without the fears of lack of preparation or unfamiliarity with the given subject. I typically begin with a diagnostic overview of the students capabilities, and once their abilities have been assessed, continued with a targeted approach to augment their deficiencies and highlight their individual skills. Beyond academia, I love studying and playing Chess, Tennis, and Skiing, schedule permitting!
