When I was young, I struggled with school. I was more focused on my performance on the sports field than I was on my performance in the classroom. My love of learning came only after I spent several summers being tutored by fantastic teachers who helped me develop connections to the material in a way that was both relatable and fun. I learned the value of great educators those summers, and I came to appreciate the importance of strong communication between the student and educator.I received my Bachelor of Arts degrees in Government and Spanish from Franklin & Marshall College in Pennsylvania and went on to receive a Master of Arts degree in Latin American Studies, with a concentration in inter-American Affairs, from the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University. Before moving to South Florida, I spent seven years in Washington, D.C. working in international affairs, as well as in government advocacy and public policy. I look forward to helping you with Spanish Language and Literature, History and Government, or Writing and English Language. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy playing sports, staying active, and finding fun, new recipes to cook.My goal as a tutor is not only to help you understand the material, but also to help you develop your own unique learning tools to benefit your long-term educational growth.

I found my passion for teaching when I found my passion for learning. That moment of complete understanding, of the puzzle pieces fitting together, made me want others to share that feeling. In middle school I began teaching English to recent immigrants in my town and translating for international campers at my YMCA summer job. I began tutoring and editing papers and college essays for my peers in high school; I loved the opportunity to revise their work. I became a teaching assistant while at Franklin & Marshall College in both the Neuroscience and Chemistry Departments working to run labs and teach lecture. I served as a teaching assistant for a freshman writing seminar and in that program I received training as an essay tutor. I also volunteered at the International Center on campus as an English language tutor. I am fluent in Spanish and Russian having studied Russian at Middlebury College's intensive summer immersion program. I have used my Bachelors in neuroscience in hospital and laboratory settings since graduation in 2012 and love following the latest research.My goals in tutoring are to help students break down overwhelming material into manageable pieces, to see the big picture value of their school subjects, and to find tangible success in their every effort. I focus on helping the student talk through the their concerns and ideas. I encourage students to share their own strategies to determine what will work best with individual learning styles. I have many ideas for students to strengthen test taking and time management. I look forward to helping students succeed in their coursework and test taking.

I have a real passion for teaching and helping students learn and master new skills and concepts. I truly believe that everyone can learn if the right supports are in place. This means taking the time to first get to know an individual and then using his or her interests along with research based learning techniques to make for a productive learning experience that is fun and engaging too. This also means being flexible and figuring out the best learning practice for each individual, as everyone learns in different ways.A little bit about me. I studied history and international studies at Franklin and Marshall College. Currently, I am finishing up a masters program at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College of Education where I will receive a degree and certification in Elementary Education. In addition to teaching both in the US and abroad (I taught English for 6 months in Thailand!), I have had several experiences tutoring, too. Beginning in high school and continuing in college and graduate school, I have tutored students in all elementary subjects and at the college level in writing. When I am not teaching or tutoring, I like to read, go running, try new restaurants in my neighborhood or explore new exhibits at museums.

I am a law student at Drexel University Kline School of Law and a graduate of Franklin and Marshall College with a BA in Cognitive Science with a minor in Music. I have also taken numerous classes in Biology and have broad understanding of that field. I have also studied both Spanish and Hebrew languages and can speak both at an intermediate level. I tutor students in a variety of disciplines including biology, mathematics, composition, and test prep for SAT, PSAT, and ACT. My teaching philosophy is that because no student is exactly like another, neither should be my approach to teaching them. I like to get to know every student academically as well as personally so that I can best understand how to help you achieve and exceed your goals. Outside of my studies, I am a diehard football fan, an avid theater-goer, and a prominent student leader on my campus.

I graduated magna cum laude from Franklin and Marshall College with a major in Physics and a minor in Chemistry. I work as a Research Scientist. Therefore, I have real life experience in what math enables us to do. A favorite slogan of mine is that math allows us to figure things out. For example, we can understand why it only takes about a group of about 20 people to get to a 50% probability that two people will have the same birthday. We can calculate the area of a triangle if we only know the lengths of its sides. I have been involved with tutoring math since 2000. One of my greatest joys is helping students develop to their full potential and achieve some important life goals. I was able to help a student pass her Praxis test in Math after failing about 10 times. She was planning to try one more time. And, with my help, she made it and became a certified teacher. Another student couldn't pass the military entrance exam, but succeeded after working with me. Math at higher levels becomes a struggle if there are holes in the mathematical concepts that came before. It is possible to gain mastery of math so that it is fun to do instead of being something to dread. I coached baseball while my two sons were growing up. I follow the Yankees, Eagles, and Penn State football. I do a variety of outdoor activities including: biking, hiking, gardening and playing recreational sports such as softball and tennis. The longest bike trip that I have taken was a two day 185 mile bike hike on the C & O canal tow path. Indoors, I play table tennis and like to read. I read biographies and histories of wars and I like to play the computer game called Shanghai. I enjoy reading Scientific American to keep up on the latest developments in science.

I am a certified Special Education teacher and Behavior Therapist. I enjoy seeing my students have fun learning, which I believe is key to academic success!A little bit about me. . . I am originally from Ridgewood, New Jersey, attended Franklin & Marshall College in Lancaster, PA and then moved to Nashville to pursue my M.Ed at Vanderbilt University. Nashville has become my home over the past 4 years and I absolutely love the energy of the city and have made wonderful friends and connections here.My upbeat personality, years of experience working with children and strong organizational skills make me a strong tutor. Furthermore, my background in psychology and Special Education allow me to differentiate instruction, decrease anxiety, and employ positive behavior supports to ensure that the students I work with are successful in all realms of their studies.When I am not working, I enjoy taking my dog for walks, attending shows and making jewelry.

My goal is to make studying math and science a more fun and interactive experience.

Hello! My name is Ehenneden Idehen-Amadasun, and I look forward to joining you on your journey to content mastery! I have spent the last four years teaching World History and AP U.S. History at the high school level and have had the opportunity to work as a curriculum planner for my school network. I bring a great deal of experience both in the classroom and out of it when it comes to content. My experience has not only allowed me to dive deep into the content you will need to study, but also find new and interesting ways to apply the content to our everyday lives. I look forward to meeting you and embarking on this journey to master the content and fall in love with history!

I am a current graduate student at the University of Chicago studying clinical social work with a concentration in pediatric psychiatry. I received my Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Franklin and Marshall College. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and young adults. I started tutoring elementary and middle school students when I was in high school and continued to tutor when I was in college. Additionally, when I was in college I worked for an organization where I advised three high school students through the entirety of the college application process. Currently, I am a social work intern in the department of psychiatry at Lurie Children's Hospital. I have experience working with young people who encompass a wide range of learning abilities and I am sensitive to the unique needs that may pose a challenge to a student's learning. I am comfortable tutoring a variety of different subjects, but I have the most experience tutoring psychology, English, and science. I strongly believe in fostering an environment where the student feels supported and encouraged in the learning process.

I'm Youssef! I'm very excited to work with students right away. Here's some info about myself: I'm a current sophomore Astrophysics and Math Major in college. I love math, and science indeed, and I love teaching them to people in the most fun way possible! Because if math and science aren't fun, they're just a bunch of symbols that make zero sense. I'm very excited to work with students!

I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Franklin & Marshall College in 2021 with a B.A. in Moral Psychology and a minor in Russian Studies. Previously, I've participated in workshops with F&M alumni in education, interned with an arts-based preschool, and recently finished tutoring at my local school district, working with second graders and K-5 students; in the future, I will be serving as an ESL co-teacher overseas through the Fulbright Taiwan program. As the first in my family to make it past elementary school, I have always understood the power of knowledge and the opportunities it can afford you. Even more importantly, my goal is to instill a love of learning into my students because there is no better intrinsic motivator, and this drive is what humans appreciate the world in which we live.
