I graduated from Brandeis University with degrees in Classical Studies and Anthropology in 2012, and just received a master's degree in Archaeology from Bryn Mawr College. While in school, I have worked on numerous team projects as well as with younger students just beginning their studies. I spent this past summer working with high school students as a resident counselor at Johns Hopkins University. In the fall, I plan on working in classrooms in the Philadelphia area. I have experience across the humanities, and have a particular love for history. I also understand the importance of preparing for standardized tests, and have found the same critical reading and writing skills needed to score well on them to be invaluable as my education has progressed.I look forward to working with and helping you in any way that I can.

I am currently a sophomore at Bryn Mawr College. In the 8th grade, due to my exceptional performance in my advanced math class, I was offered the opportunity to tutor for extra credit. Since then, I have enjoyed tutoring and teaching others in a variety of subjects in grade levels PreK-11th for volunteer work and in paid settings. In high school, I took advantage of tutoring opportunities through my membership in Math, English, and National Honor Societies, and National Beta Club. I am working towards a Bachelors degree in Political Science and am also studying Middle Eastern Studies. While I hope to eventually pursue a Juris Doctris, education is a passion I would like to stay involved in throughout my career. I have worked with students of all ages inside and outside of school settings. I interned at the Fairmount Water Works where I assisted in an educational capacity. I tutor in Math, Social Studies, and Social Sciences. For a complete list, check out my subject list below. My favorite subject to tutor is math as there are many different ways I can explore with my students as to how to approach the problem in a way that makes sense to them. Math, especially, requires a lot of patience and it's incredibly rewarding to watch a student become proficient in a skill set they once thought impossible. My teaching philosophy and tutoring style emphasize that students learn in a variety of ways and one must first recognize where each individual student is coming from in terms of learning style and resources before attempting to address the academia. Outside of academia, I am very passionate about acting and social justice. Both of these interests, I believe, help me greatly in connecting with my students and supporting their learning. I have clearances available at your request. I was accepted to such prestigious institutions as NYU and the University of Richmond among others. I hold several leadership positions in my school community including president of pre-law society and Access Services coordinator. I look forward to working with your child!

Hello, my name is Isabel and I am a recent college graduate and a current member of AmeriCorps VISTA. I attended Bryn Mawr College and graduated in May 2018, and began my service here in the Richmond area soon after. I studied Political Science while at Bryn Mawr, and completed my senior honors thesis. I also studied Peace, Justice, and Human Rights. I have a strong love for learning, reading, and exploring.While in high school I taught hundreds of students on a variety of subjects, age ranging fourth grade through high school. My teaching method was focused on empowering the whole individual, so they can understand their learning styles, strengths, and weaknesses and build a plan for success. I also worked hard on helping students develop core competencies such as critical analysis and research skills, to gain the tools for future success in any subject. I believe that every student is capable of greatness, and it is important to work with the individual to understand how they can fulfill their potential.While in college I studied politics, history, environmental studies, philosophy, literature, logic, and a myriad of other topics. I have a diverse array of interests and a love of learning, and I am so thrilled to have the opportunity to work with students and help them on their educational journey.

My love of physics and math began when I was 3 years old, watching Julius Sumner Miller do physics experiments on TV. I discovered my love of teaching as an undergrad at the University of Mount Union, where I served as a teaching assistant in the intro physics labs. It was so thrilling to help students reach "a-ha" moments where everything clicks! I was hooked, and I've been teaching ever since! After earning my Bachelor's in physics with minors in mathematics and music, I went to Bryn Mawr College for graduate school, where I earned my Master's studying dark matter, and my Ph.D. studying atomic physics. While I was there, I taught in various labs, ran problem solving sessions for the pre-med physics course, and tutored several students one-on-one. After graduating, I spent three years as a visiting professor at Austin College. I think the best way to learn something is to DO it, so my teaching style is focused on helping my students actively engage with the material. I like to have back-and-forth conversations with my students to see where they are with the material, and to help guide them to a deeper understanding. I also like to use lots of examples, demos, and hands-on activities to help solidify abstract concepts.

I am a native Spanish speaker with 4+ years of tutoring experience. Since my freshman year of college, I tutored peers from all grade levels who struggled with the acquisition of Spanish as a second language and help them become proficient in their communication in a foreign language. I held various positions within Bryn Mawr College's tutoring program that allowed me to envision the tutoring experience from various points of view. As the Departmental Liaison Chair, I provided more resources for tutors, fostered a positive relationship with the professors whose subjects we tutored, met their needs, and shared input from professors with the Academic Support and Learning Specialist. As Head Tutor for languages, I hired tutors, coordinated their schedules, and mediated conflicts.As a bilingual tutor, I am very patient and empathetic when teaching a new language. I have a growth mindset. Instead of saying to myself I'm not good at something, I ask myself what am I missing. If something is hard, I tell myself it will take time and effort. These principles help me improve as a tutor and guide students to take success into their own hands. I use all the resources I have available and do everything I can to find new ones to develop effective tutoring and study strategies.I scored high on this SAT Spanish Subject Test and have great understanding of the College Board's multiple-choice question. I earned a high score (5) on the AP Spanish Literature exam. My critical thinking skills and mastery of the Spanish language helped me structure my responses on the essay portion of the exam. I also understand the College Board's multiple-choice question.

I take a holistic approach to teaching, considering the psychology behind academic success. I listen closely to students with a spirit of non-judgement and empathy to create a safe space that allows them to openly express the challenges they are facing with their academic work. I havefound that treating students with kindness, empathy and respect can transcend barriers to learning. I aim to empower my students and to create an optimal learning environment that helps students get inspired and stay engaged.I articulate and remind my students that I am invested in their success and well-being, in addition to fostering learning and intellectual development. I don't take a one size fits all approach. I teach students from all walks of life, ranging from young adults to adults in their 60s who have had successful careers and have returned to the university in their later years. Some of my students work full-time and may have children and/elders to care for at home. This kindof diverse student population requires flexibility. I meet students where they are to promote learning. The goals of my teaching include helping students: 1. understand, 2. reflect on, and 3. articulate key concepts. I evaluate student progress based on these three learning outcomes. I ask myselfthe question, did learning take place? Another key goal of my approach is teaching students how to bring greater clarity to their writing. Though it tends to send students back to the drawing board, so to speak, they are oftengrateful for what they learn and how it can serve their lives and chosen careers.

I just graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a Bachelor's in English. Most of my teaching experience comes from helping the children I babysit with their homework, and from teaching my peers how to knit. I tutor English, any grades, with a focus on writing, because that is what my education has prepared me for. I want to help students reach their full potential, and adjust my teaching style to how they learn. I prefer to teach by example; explaining what I am doing, then having the student try and correcting any errors.

I am a neuroscience PhD graduate student at Northwestern university. I obtained my B.A. degree from Bryn Mawr College in Biology and Computer Science. I have a passion for education and firmly believe that education can change lives and provide the upward social mobility. I love interacting with students and building connections with them on a personal level. I prefer to teach students the learning method and thinking process, rather than just the answer. I am good at guiding students and letting them come up with the answer by themselves. In college, I am a TA for a Calculus 1 class, helping students understand difficult concepts and prepare for tests. Last summer, I traveled back to China and tutored math for standardized testing such as the SAT Subject Math and AP Calculus. Helping struggling students achieve high scores in standardized testing has been one of the most rewarding experiences - it boosts students' confidence and at the same time gives them the desire to learn more and tackle harder problems.Chinese is my native language. As a Chinese tutor, I enjoy helping students not only achieve desirable scores in standardized testing, but also use the language to communicate. I believe the key to learning a new language is to practice, practice, and practice. I love seeing my students gain confidence in speaking this beautiful language.

I am currently working on an MA at Columbia University Teacher's College, and have a BA in English from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. I spent last year tutoring 5th graders in literacy and math through AmeriCorps, and I plan to use my degree to encourage elementary and middle school students to love and appreciate literature as much as I do.I love tutoring because I feel that individual attention is an important facet of the learning process. By working one-on-one with students tutors can learn more about students' interests and learning styles, and incorporate them into the tutoring process. Academic subjects can be so much more interesting for students if they feel that the subject has a direct impact on their lives. I love it when a student's face lights up with the realization that she truly understands the concept on which we are working. These kinds of realizations inspire confidence in students, a feeling which only leads to greater learning and achievements in the future.

I am a senior at Bryn Mawr College majoring in Sociology and minoring in Child and Family Studies and Education. I am currently wrapping up my teaching certification program teaching American History in a Philadelphia public school. I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring English, History and essay writing with elementary, middle and high school students. I strongly believe learning is a collaborative, student directed process and I love helping students acquire long-term learning skills. My favorite part of teaching is watching students gain confidence and pride in their work; eureka moments make my day!

I recently graduated from Bryn Mawr College with a degree in International Studies and German. While at Bryn Mawr, I was honored to receive the Berle Memorial Prize in German Literature, second place for the Hester Ann Corner Prize for a thesis written in a foreign language, and a spot on the Community Building Honor Roll. I was also selected as a finalist for both the Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship to Germany and the Fulbright U.S. Teaching Assistantship to Austria. I have over five years of tutoring experience, specializing in English, German, and the Social Sciences, as well as college essay coaching and standardized test prep (SAT/ACT). My approach to teaching is centered on flexibility; I strive to tailor each lesson to meet my students' unique needs. I believe that every student can become a passionate learner, and I am committed to helping them achieve their academic goals while instilling a love for learning.

I am a graduate of Bryn Mawr College, the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University, and Rutgers Law School. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a focus on the U.S. Constitution. My Master's degree is also in Political Science. I currently teach American Government and Political Science at a local college. Previously, I was employed as an assistant prosecutor in NJ for 25 years where I handled dozens of jury trials and specialized in prosecuting domestic violence, child abuse, and sexual assault. As a result of my jury trial experience, I have exceptional public speaking skills. I have recently retired and am interested in helping folks of all ages succeed! I am committed to improving everyone's life through education and the opportunities education affords. In my job as an assistant prosecutor, I taught hundreds of police officers about changes in the law and prepared them for their tests and reviews. I have two daughters who are still in school so I am aware of the challenges of demanding homework and AP classes. Together, we can succeed!

I recently graduated Magna Cum Laude from Bryn Mawr College with my BA in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology and with a minor in Health Studies. I hope to attain my Master's in Anesthesiology Assisting and pursue a career in healthcare. I've tutored high school and middle school students in various subjects while in high school through both the National Honor Society and National Science Honor Society programs. While in college, I was a Chemistry peer mentor and helped many students throughout their courses in that department. I've also worked as a tutor for Chegg for about 4 years and have worked with over 1000 students, garnering over 300 positive reviews during my time there. My tutoring style is very patient and affirming. I know that students can be afraid to say their answers sometimes because they are afraid to be wrong but I encourage this! It's the only way to learn and it helps build their confidence.

Hello! My goals for my students are for them to be successful even after I'm done teaching them. In order to do that, I focus on both content and techniques for retaining information. I specialize in biology (including AP biology, and anatomy and physiology) and chemistry (including organic chemistry, biochemistry, AP chemistry, and general chemistry), but I also love creative writing!

I graduated from Bryn Mawr College, where I majored in Biology and concentrated in Public Health. I recently completed the 2015 MCAT and will be applying to medical school this spring. While in college, I interned at a maternity hospital in India, assisted in the development of community health programs in Philadelphia and taught English as a Second Language (ESL) to adult immigrants and students abroad. I also mentored middle school and undergraduate students with science and math courses. I am open to tutoring in a broad range of subjects, including Algebra, Spanish I/II, ESL and Biology (SAT II, AP, and MCAT).My tutoring style is personal and interactive. Learning as a student, I was deeply gratified by the teachers who inspired my interest in science and had the faith to invest in my talents. While teaching my own students, I have enjoyed instilling the same love of learning as well as an attitude to persevere through their own challenges. I acknowledge that every student faces his/her unique obstacles and understand that students learn at varying paces through different strategies. In my tutoring sessions, I go out of my way to get to know students to adapt activities to their learning styles and to help them reach their personal goals. Additionally, I like to make sessions hands-on. Having had an ESL class full of different language speakers, I have become creative at designing a variety of activities and visual aids to communicate concepts from different viewpoints. I have also successfully applied these learning strategies towards tutoring different scientific disciplines and continue to experiment with resourceful ways to make learning a fun, engaging experience.

Hello! My name is Fatoumata Sylla and I'm excited to embark on this tutoring journey with you! I have years of experience tutoring and absolutely love working with students. A bit about me,Im a first year medical student at a top 20 medical school in the United States.

I was graduated from Bryn Mawr College in May 2020 with a dual Bachelor's degree in French and History. I have been tutoring and teaching students from elementary to college age in French and English for nearly seven years. I have worked as a private tutor for American students, as well as French students when I studied abroad in Strasbourg, France for a semester. I also worked as a French teaching assistant for three years while in college.I especially like helping students learn French. I like to reinforce what they've learned by putting it into practice, whether through worksheets or mock conversations. I also often supplement lessons by introducing them to aspects of literature, videos, and history with which they can practice what they've learned while also learning about francophone culture.

I am currently a Junior at Bryn Mawr College, where I am an Economics major and International Studies minor.Since my arrival in the US in June 2013, I have been able to secure jobs in varying fields, from retail to sports and education. Each experience has reinforced my appreciation of honest and hard work, while giving me the occasion to meet and network with people.As a graduate of a very rigorous French lyce (high school), I am accustomed to prioritizing assignments and commitments, a vital skill learned from having a particularly heavy course load in the sciences. For many years at school, I was voted into the position of class representative. This has given me opportunities to be a responsible leader of my peers. I am persuasive yet friendly, a trait that has allowed me to work with others successfully in and outside of school.When I was thirteen, I elected to participate in an exchange program that involved living in Germany for two months with a family I had never met before. It took me two weeks to adapt to my new environment and the new school. I enjoyed meeting new friends and discovering German life and culture. I returned home with a valuable skill: a better command of the German language.I am a member of the Student Advisory Board for Bryn Mawr's Leadership, Innovation and Liberal Arts Center. The Center is dedicated to enhance the liberal arts education by offering opportunities for personal and professional growth.As a tutor and Teaching Assistant for French at Bryn Mawr, I am given the liberty to organize my schedule, prepare the material and conduct tutoring and T.A. sessions with my assigned students. As a lifeguard, my duties are to ensure the safety and cleanliness of the pool area, and provide assistance to swimmers as needed. My involvement with the varsity swim team has led to sessions with pre-K children learning how to swim.I spent this past Summer working in two different banks back in my hometown Marseille (France).

At the Banque Populaire, I was assigned to work at the Portfolio Management/Transfer service of the banks headquarters.

Hello! My name is Emma, and I am an educator in Madison, WI. I have experience teaching elementary and middle school, and I have years of experience working at a college admissions office. As an educator, I can help you become a stronger reader by digging deep into high-interest texts. As a former admissions employee, I know how to make your personal statement stand out from the other applicants. If you need help with learning a new language, I also have 6 years of experience learning French and 4 years of Spanish.When I was a student, school did not come easily to me.

In addition to teaching the content, I want to pass onto each of my students my passion for learning new things and a growth mindset. It's not "I can't do this", it's "I can't do this YET".

I graduated magna cum laude with departmental honors from Bryn Mawr College in 2012 with a BA in English and a minor in psychology, as well several premedical requirements. I have been tutoring extensively since 2008 and was a staff writing tutor at Bryn Mawr during my collegiate career.As far as writing goes, I have tutored everything from college entrance essays to senior physics theses to applications for Rhodes and Fulbright scholarships. I have worked with both domestic and international students, and consider myself particularly adept at assisting ESL writers.In addition to Writing, I tutor in English, Grammar and Literature. Whether you are having difficulty with mechanics or are gearing up for an AP, SAT II or other standardized examination in English, I am willing and able to help, as I have taken virtually every test and have mastered English grammar.I also tutor for AP and SAT II examinations in General Chemistry and Biology, as well as for the corresponding introductory college courses for those subjects. If you're struggling with the algebra that's so often involved in solving chemistry problems (or if you're struggling with algebra I in general), I tutor for that as well.Finally, should you be preparing for the ACT, I provide tutoring services in all subject areas of that test (including Writing) and scored in the 98th percentile of test-takers as a senior in high school.I know how difficult and stressful preparing for standardized tests, exams, and papers can be, and I hope that my background as a seasoned tutor combined with my knowledge of the subjects and tests that I completed not so long ago will support my students as they move forward.

As a non-native speaker of Spanish and French, I recognize the immensely positive impact learning foreign languages can have on one's life. However, learning foreign languages is a challenging, long term process that requires dedication. That dedication is not just the responsibility of the student, but of language teachers as well. As a teacher I am committed to making connections with students in a fun, positive way that fosters not just an appreciation for the language but a solid understanding of language fundamentals, such as grammar. I truly teaching and feel there is no obstacle to learning that is insurmountable. Fun is also a critical part of the process, and I always do my very best to make sure my students are having the best time possible while strengthening their language skills.
