As a passionate educator with a Doctorate in Spanish and Portuguese from Princeton University and a dissertation on modern Spain, I have nearly a decade's worth of experience in tutoring and classroom instruction, specializing in AP Spanish Language and Literature; Culture, Conversational Spanish, and various levels of Spanish language and literature courses. My teaching philosophy centers around fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to engage with the material and express themselves. I strive to connect with each student by tailoring my approach to their unique learning styles and interests, making language acquisition both enjoyable and effective. Both in and outside of the tutoring space, I am highly accesible and dedicated to helping students achieve their academic goals and develop a lifelong appreciation for the Spanish language and culture. In my free time, I enjoy exploring literature and travel, which continually enrich my teaching practice.

Math has been my passion ever since high school - from earning 1st place nationally in Calculus and Linear Algebra, to competing on the AMC 10, AMC 12, and AIME exams. At Princeton, I tutored peers in Multivariable Calculus, and since then I've worked with middle school through college students in Geometry, Precalculus, Trigonometry, Calculus, and SAT/GRE quantitative prep. I'm dedicated to simplifying complex ideas and helping students build confidence in their own problem-solving skills! I also built my first artificial intelligence tool in 2018, and currently enjoy helping integrate LLMs and Agents for companies!

Stephanie
BA Princeton University
10+ Years Tutoring

Hi! My name is Stephanie, and I am currently a Molecular Biology pre-med senior at Princeton University. My top subjects include both SAT and ACT Math, ACT Science, Biology, Calculus, and General Chemistry. During the academic year I work as a General Chemistry and Biology peer tutor at the on-campus tutoring center, and will be taking on the role as Study Group Leader for General Chemistry this fall. I love utilizing my former experiences to help and teach current students. I also volunteered as a peer tutor in my high school through the AVID program.Because mathematical understanding was integral to success in my science classes in both high school and university, I focused on learning for understanding as opposed to learning to pass exams, which I believe has been very useful when teaching other students strategies and techniques needed for academic success in their math classes. The tutoring method that I have the most experience in involves utilizing what the student already knows in order to foster confidence with the subject material as well as problem-solving skills that are helpful in exam situations.I have a strong science background stemming from both my high school and college curricula and I am sincerely passionate about these subjects as well. I've noticed that success in these subjects stems more from the understanding of the mechanics, whether it be of a biological system or just the scientific method, which is why I aim to make sure my tutees understand the core principles that eventually help them tackle more abstract and conceptual problems.Feel free to contact me about questions relating to times, scheduling, and other possible subjects that were not included in the principal bio! I'm looking forward to meeting you all!

Arthur
Current Undergrad, Architecture Princeton University
9+ Years Tutoring

I am a Colorado native, earning an Architecture Degree at Princeton University. I am passionate about Club Baseball, dedicated to health and fitness, and committed to Christian Fellowship on campus. I am very focused on growth and self improvement and I thrive helping other people achieve their own goals and reach new heights.When I was 19, I decided I wanted to serve my county by becoming an Officer in the Navy, and ideally a Navy Seal. I realized that to serve anyone or anything to your best capacity, it requires that you have a vision for WHO you want to be and the belief in yourself that you can get there though consistent hard work. Whatever your goal is, there IS a way to get there. That is why I am a tutor, because it is amazing to help and encourage other people as they complete their own journeys of goal setting, challenging themselves, growing, achieving their goals, and then setting even higher ones. My own academic experience has taught me that often the difference between a fulfilling, exciting experience and a difficult, draining one, is how invested the teacher is; in my best classes, the professors have walked with me every step of the way, and I have achieved much more because of that. By walking with my own pupils, I leverage my knowledge and understanding to help them learn not only the things they need to succeed in one class, but the self-confidence to succeed in future endeavors in all areas of life.

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.

I have tutored middle school and high school students in subjects ranging from 5th grade reading to geometry to the SAT.

My teaching philosophy can be described as a coaching style in which, like athletics, I believe learning the subject matter, good techniques, and constant practice are the best ways to achieving better scores.I love staying active in lots of different ways whether it be playing sports, yoga, or even tough mudders.

I'm an international Affairs major at Princeton University minoring in Creative Writing and Chinese. I graduated from The Brearley School in New York City in 2011. At Princeton, I work in the writing center tutoring fellow students in critical thinking, analysis, and academic writing. I also have a good deal of experience helping elementary and junior high students with math, reading, and French. Still, writing remains my favorite subject to tutor, largely because of the discussions that accompany it. Outside of the classroom, I'm a varsity cross-country and track runner; an enthusiastic fan of the New Yorker fiction podcast; and am fascinated by military history and policy.
