I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Bachelor of Science in Speech Sciences and Technology. In my spare time, I like to swim, watch movies and go to baseball games. While I was completing my undergraduate degree, I did a 100 hour internship. This internship allowed me to work with children, assisting speech therapy sessions, in the school setting. This was a great experience and really made me realize how much I love working with people, especially children. I was also lucky enough to have the opportunity to work with special education children as well. I love working with special education children and understand their needs and desires to succeed in school. Working with people is my desire and helping them succeed is my passion. It is important that tutoring is specific to the child's needs so that it has a positive impact on their school work. I believe that education is achievable for everyone and that it is truly an accomplishment when the child reaches those educational goals.

I am a graduate of Arizona State University where I received my Bachelor degree in Theater Arts. My original focus was to help struggling young students by integrating theater play into everyday subjects. I was inspired to go back to school in Flagstaff, Arizona where I earned my Master's degree in Education. Since then I have taught classes for kindergarten through high school working in both Colorado and Arizona schools. I find that engaging with students in either small groups or one to one is where I do my best teaching. I take my job as an educator seriously. I feel that education should be available to everyone who wants to learn more. It is a valuable experience for all people to gain any knowledge in order to make positive gains in self-efficacy, self-esteem, and overall well-being. In my off time I enjoy hiking, taking photographs of nature, reading, writing creative stories, and brushing up on my acting skills.
Teaching struggling readers is my PASSION! I have spent the last 23 years serving in the public education system; from classroom teacher to administrator and EVERYTHING in between! My passion for teaching reading inspired me to obtain my Masters in Curriculum and Instruction: Reading from Grand Canyon University before achieving a Masters in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University in 2015. After all these years, my favorite job has always been to work with K-5 kiddos, particularly with those who struggle in reading. I love helping students find success, make gains and be confident readers. All they need is the toolbox, I can give them the tools!
I love helping students learn and grow while making sure they are being challenged. I enjoy learning and I am hoping to instill that same thing with the students I work with.
I understand math, especially Algebra subjects, are incredible complex and often abstract for students to learn. I enjoying breaking down the topics into "why" they work. I focus less on memorization of formulas and more on the reasons why the numbers are used. This approach also means that students are getting a deeper understanding and it makes it easier to apply their prior knowledge to new concepts.
I have been teaching 7th and 8th-grade math for several years. I have also been tutoring math students from 6th grade to 10th grade in math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry. I like to let the student drive the tutoring session. If you just want someone to validate your answers, teach you a different way, or just sit and work the problems together, I'm your person! I like to talk about sports and rollercoasters. I don't want to be just your tutor--I want to be your math advocate as you progress through your math classes.
As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from Oregon State University and a second Bachelor's in Administration of Justice from Northern Arizona University and pursuing a Masters degree in Civil Engineering at Oregon State University, I am committed to guiding students through subjects like Algebra, Statics, Dynamics, Structural Analysis and AutoCAD. My approach centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to tackle challenging concepts. I strive to connect with each student personally, adapting my teaching methods to align with their unique learning styles. My passion for tutoring stems from a desire to inspire confidence and cultivate a genuine interest in the subjects I teach, ensuring that every student can achieve their fullest potential. In my free time, I enjoy engaging in physical fitness and outdoor activities, problem-solving activities, and keeping up with the latest advancements in engineering technology.
I currently teach 8th-grade resource English. I graduated from Northern Arizona University with a bachelor's degree in Elementary and Special Education, a minor in Spanish, and a certificate in teaching English as a second language.I am currently getting my Master's degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Positive Behavior Support with a certificate in Autism Spectrum Disorder.
I earned my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education with an emphasis in English as a Second Language from Northern Arizona University. I was a teacher for 13 years in the SUSD school district where I taught grades 2-4. During the summers I worked with talented youth by teaching a pre-algebra course to 4th graders at Arizona State University. Throughout my career I have taught an array of learners and have developed many skills to meet individual needs. Throughout my teaching career to now, I have coached volleyball. I have coached at a variety of levels and age groups ranging from 11yrs-18yrs. I have a great passion for helping students succeed and have the patience and creative skill-set to make that happen. In my free time I enjoy playing volleyball, riding my bicycle with friends, traveling and spending time with family and friends.
During my undergraduate years, I tended to hang out with the math crowd, despite my status as a physics major. I joined math club at my university (NAU) and enjoyed subjects within math. Even today I will choose to read mathematics material over topics in science, which is a switch from my younger years. However, physics was the start of my passion for mathematics, and I hope share this sense of awe with you, or anyone I am teaching/assisting. I have been fortunate to have been given the opportunity to teach a calculus class, for two years, and every part of it has been rewarding. And for the past two consecutive summers the University of Arizona has given me the chance to connect with my science roots and conduct some cutting-edge optics research.
As a passionate mathematics tutor with a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from Northern Arizona University, I have over 4 years of experience helping students excel in subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to Calculus and beyond. I believe in the importance of perspective and that most people approach problems and learning differently. I try my best to tailor my teaching methods to accommodate those diverse learning styles.
I have a master's degree in physics with research emphasis in astrophysics from San Francisco State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in physics and astronomy with a minor in math. Currently I am an adjunct instructor at Mesa Community College teaching astrophysics courses. I have four years of teaching experience in astronomy and physics lab courses at San Francisco State University. I acquired excellent teaching skills while I was a graduate student at San Francisco State University for which I even received an honor of outstanding physics teaching assistant from San Francisco State University. I was also a math instructor for a Summer Bridge program at San Francisco state University where my responsibility was to teach first year college algebra. I have tutored kids in the age group of 8 to 15 in the subject areas of science and math. I tutor math (calculus, differential equations, algebra, geometry and trigonometry) and science courses (physics, astrophysics, planetary science). I enjoy teaching in general and am passionate about math, physics and astronomy. I firmly believe that education is one of the most important tools in shaping a child's life and I would love to be a part of that process. In my past experience I have noticed many students struggle with subjects like math and physics and my goal is to try to make it a fun experience for them. In my spare time I enjoy reading books, biking, hiking , running and snow boarding. During my graduate program I liked volunteering at our college observatory and I still like to take my telescope out occasionally for star gazing.
I graduated from Northern Arizona University in 2012 with a Bachelor of Science in Secondary English Education. I took additional classes in Journalism and ELL. While in college, I tutored high school students after school for a college program. I was fortunate enough to complete my student teaching in Bamberg, Germany working on the army base teaching 7th, 8th and 10th grade Language Arts. After I finished my student teaching, I came back to my home state of Arizona and began teaching in the west Phoenix area. I have been teaching at my current school for three years. I taught 8th grade my first year and this is my second year of teaching 7th grade Language Arts. I really enjoy working with all the quirkiness that comes with middle school. I have been reading apprenticeship trained, which focuses on students discovering the answers through annotation of a text and meta-cognition. This year, my school has adopted the Engage New York curriculum, so I am familiar with some of the struggles that arise from the new common core. I am very familiar with writing a successful piece of writing through my school curriculum and this year we are working on incorporating ideas from a text into writing. Currently, I am training to run a marathon with one of my fellow Teachers in February. I also enjoy relaxing with a good book or movie, crafting ideas from Pinterest, and traveling.
I love teaching and getting to know my students! My goal in every course I teach is to make the complicated simple and easy to understand. I have taught a variety of subjects and age groups. I currently teach psychology and statistics at Glendale Community College and plan to teach other courses there in the future. I am very excited on the first day of every semester to meet my new students! It is my goal to make all the material relevant and interesting. I want my students to be as excited as me to learn each and every class. While I currently teach college students professionally, I still really enjoy tutoring younger students. I have worked with students from kindergarten all the way to 12th grade, teaching math, computers, English, and Spanish. I look forward to my time working with students and will do everything I can to help you succeed in your class!
I knew I was a linguist at a young age. I loved to spell and learn the meanings of words in English but that developed to other languages too. Learning Spanish became not just an elective class that I had to take but it became a lifelong learning passion. Growing up in the southwest of the United States, I started learning Spanish at age 9 in the classroom; went on my first student exchange at 10; continued taking Spanish throughout high school and completed a minor in my undergraduate degree. I went on to serve in the Peace Corps in Ecuador and then returned to teach Spanish to high school students as a long-term substitute teacher. I enjoy speaking Spanish and tutoring others to grow to enjoy the language too.
I'm a teacher and tutor living in Sedona, Arizona. I'm a licensed Secondary Education teacher, and I've tutored everything from Elementary math and language arts through upper-level literature and composition. Growing up in the Sonoran Desert brought me close to folks from many kinds of cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I'm a fluent Spanish speaker and I love working with students who are learning a second language, be it English or Spanish.I bring a passion for teaching and learning to all areas of life. I'm particularly excited about meeting each student's individualized learning needs, using non-traditional teaching methods to learn with a sense of play and discovery, while still meeting our academic goals.
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from Arizona State University, along with post-baccalaureate work in Secondary Education, History and Political Science. I also hold a Masters in Educational Leadership from Northern Arizona University. I am currently gearing toward a Masters in History.I have over twenty-seven years of experience as a classroom teacher, and have also been a tutor during that time. I have taught middle school mathematics, science, psychology as an elective, and social studies, which is my favorite subject. In social studies, I teach history (U.S. or World), Civics and Geography. I also tutor all the subjects mentioned, and have also taught religious studies.I enjoy tutoring most age and age groups, especially fourth grade through high school.I must also mention I work a great deal in developing the writing skills of my students, especially involving the use of the Six Traits of Writing.In tutoring, I work with a student's most effective style of learning. Anything can be learned if it reaches a student through their best learning modality. I know from experience anyone can and does learn. It is simply a matter of finding your own style, and I can help in that area. Oftentimes, clients choose a tutor because they share a similar hobby. In my spare time, I enjoy living history as a reenactor, especially with the American Civil War. I am also an avid reader, focusing on history and short story fiction. I am also a huge Disneyland fan. Finally, I enjoy most competitive sports, including baseball, basketball, football, and ice hockey (which I have played).
I have experience working with a diverse range of students and can adapt to the needs of each unique learner. I aim to provide one-on-one individualized lessons for each client. For the last year, I have been working as a teaching assistant to an honors faculty member at Arizona State University (ASU). As a teaching assistant, I prepare class materials, perform lectures, grade written assignments of at least 120 students per semester, and individually tutor undergraduate students in overcoming academic difficulties. My goal is to instill a passion of lifelong learning and to teach critical thinking to every one of my students as I believe these are driving factors in students' success both personally and professionally.I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Masters in Social Work and am working on a Masters in Public Administration at ASU. These programs have sharpened my study skills, essay writing, reading comprehension, public speaking and critical thinking abilities. In turn, I am able to tutor students in developing these important skills. While in school, I also worked as a Constituent Services Coordinator for Congresswoman Sinema which required me to develop excellent organizational and time-management skills that I am excited to pass on to my students!I have been trained in direct behavioral health assessment and treatment, as well as in communication studies, developing and presenting curriculum, public budgeting, human resource management, program evaluation, policy analysis, advocacy and much more! My diverse academic and employment history has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals from all ages and skill levels. I look forward to providing quality tutoring to learners on a full range of subjects including test preparation, and am happy to accommodate my clients by having a very flexible schedule!

I tutored students prior to teaching in grades kindergarten-8th in math and reading. I love to travel in my free time.
I am currently a college student working towards my bachelors degree alongside an accelerated masters. I like helping people in general but I also try to explain things in as many different ways as I can so that people can understand. I like when people ask questions no matter what they are because thats exactly how I learn too. I also like messing around and trying not to keep the learning environment too serious so people can have fun learning. In terms of my education I currently have 2 associates degrees that I earned from Palomar with emphasis in science and math. I'm currently working towards my bachelors in computer engineering, and am also taking an electrical engineering accelerated masters at the same time. I've been a tutor for 4 years now in math related subjects, I feel pretty comfortable with all math subjects and if I forget anything I just need a quick refresher and I'll be able to do it again. Other than that though I don't really have a favorite math subject to tutor and honestly for me it's the students themselves that make it fun. I like being able to mess around with them while making things more understandable since I feel that would make the material stick a bit easier.
I am a Special Education Teacher who has worked with students from 1st grade through college.

Hi! I'm Siara Goodways, a tutor with a background as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA), and I specialize in helping students build confidence through personalized, goal-focused study strategies.

Hi! I am a current substitute teacher in Philadelphia, with a degree in English Secondary Education. I have been teaching writing, test prep, and college/career prep for about 4 years, and I am super passionate about teaching. I look forward to working with you!
I am a current student at Northern Arizona University and I am studying Elementary Education with an emphasis in K-6 Math, Middle School Math, History/Social Studies, and Humanities.Ever since I can remember, I have wanted to be a teacher and I have used that passion and drive to learn the most I can about being a successful, kind, and supportive teacher/tutor. I have cherished my extensive time as a teacher's aid in the classroom, and along the way have developed my own teaching style. I believe that it's a teacher's job to help a student to enjoy what they are learning, so inquiry is a big part of my teaching style. I love to get my students engaged and intrigued by the subject they are working on. That way, the topics they are working through can be approached at a fun and exciting angle.Although I have a fondness for all subjects of learning, I have a true passion for mathematics. My previous major as a Secondary Education Mathematics student lead me to realize how much I love the thrill of solving a math problem. That is something I am so excited to share with my students! I am also passionate about organization and helping a student figure out the best way for them to learn/stay organized and efficient!Along with my love for math, I love to read, paint, and hike.
I've a passion for language, literature, culture and travel. Continuing to learn as I teach is vital to me and tutoring affords me the fantastic opportunity of sharing my knowledge, experience and enthusiasm. I got my English degree from Northern Arizona University where I was also an athletic trainer. While my love is admittedly poetry and literature, I am also a science geek and medicine called to me before teaching did. My TEFL with an IELTS certification allowed me to live and teach in Indonesia for almost three years. I taught a wide age range of students both in person then online extensively (as most of found ourselves in early 2020 and then too long after that). Being a curious bird by nature, I found the cultures and languages of Southeast Asia to be captivating. I asked as many questions of my students as they did of me and that helped us relate and work together. Some of my proudest times there (and when I returned home teaching online and in class) were when I would have students with those aha! I get it, I can do it ! breakthroughs. I am currently learning Spanish ( again) and definitely appreciate those forehead smacking aha! moments for myself, as well. For my IELTS and TOEFL students, we started from where they were and built on strengths while working on the tough stuff, primarily writing. I truly believe that listening to students is key for success for both parties. Continual communication is extremely important. Humor and having fun while learning is not only possible but necessary for me and is the way I prefer to teach and tutor. I have found that mistakes will and must be made to move forward, and keeping it light while still putting in the work helps immensely.
I graduated from Northern Arizona University with Bachelor's Degrees in Physics and Astronomy. Mathematics is an important part of both fields and my strong suit. Consequently, I have a minor in Mathematics that I have applied to my work on endless occasions. My math background encompasses basic subjects like algebra, geometry, and calculus up through advanced subjects such as linear algebra, multivariable calculus, differential equations, and advanced geometry. During my senior year I received a NASA Space Grant and began research with the U.S. Geological Survey Astrogeology Research Center in Flagstaff, AZ. This project eventually became my Master's Thesis.I graduated a second time from Northern Arizona University with a Master's Degree in Applied Physics. My research emphasis was planetary science, which allowed me to become very involved with the U.S.G.S. My planetary studies required me to not only focus on the physics of planets, but also on their geology. As such, I have a broad range of academic backgrounds, including astronomy, astrobiology, field geology, and geomorphology. I've even assisted in research at the Sudbury Impact Structure in Ontario, Canada and attended numerous scientific conferences.During my graduate studies I taught three different lab courses: Mechanics, Electricity and Magnetism, and Life in the Universe. These were intended for non-physics-major students, so I have had extensive practice in bringing even the most advanced concepts down to a level that any student can understand. The lab courses were also relatively small (between 10 and 20 students). The small class sizes allowed me to learn to teach with hands-on methods as well as lecture-style methods, many times in a one-on-one setting.I love to teach, plain and simple. To witness a student truly understand a concept is very rewarding for both the student and the teacher. They say knowledge is power. Then to understand the universe (even just a small fraction of it) is power, indeed. SCIENCE!!!
I believe that all students are capable of learning any subject they pursue, and with this in mind, I genuinely want to cultivate this curiosity and watch students learn and grow. Throughout my high school tenure, I worked with a variety of age groups, ranging from 9 to 19 on various subjects, attempting to help expand their understanding in a fun and meaningful manner. I have always appreciated the hardworking nature of students, and come to learn that if you can teach a student right, they will always be willing to learn any subject regardless of difficulty. As an engineering student at Northern Arizona University, I am qualified and skilled in mathematics ranging from Algebra to Calculus, as well as both creative and non-creative writing styles which grant a major proficiency in English grammar, syntax, and diction. Also, considering my background as a military dependent, I have lived overseas in Japan, which have granted me an extensive knowledge of Japanese culture and customs, including a conversational understanding of the language and its utility. Japanese and English are my favorite subjects to study by far, as language is a hobby I enjoy, but I always have fun in any subject when the student and I can enjoy and appreciate the session as a whole. On that note, I have always prided my philosophy when it comes to teaching, as I believe every individual has their own strengths and weaknesses of acquiring and remembering information. I believe that identifying these aspects of a student's mindset and using them to "rewire" the way they process information can have a lasting impact on how they perceive learning altogether. Outside of academics, I really enjoy Pokemon, art, and hiking!
