Hello,I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor's of Science in Biology. During my time at UGA, I was employed under the Biology Department as a teacher’s assistant for the Principles of Biology course. Each week of the semester I held review sessions and went over the lecture material presented. I was also entrusted with grading exams and classwork. Being a teacher’s assistant not only allowed me to solidify my understanding of various biology concepts, but also made me confident in my teaching abilities. Aside from Biology, I am also passionate about Math, Chemistry and English courses.Throughout college I also worked with a student in SAT preparation and AP Calculus AB. I am confident that my personal experiences taking the ACT, SAT and various AP courses in high school not only helped me teach my student but also relate to him. I understand how demanding AP courses can be and know what it takes to succeed in them. As a tutor, I will not only teach the subject at hand, but also teach students valuable study skills that will continually help them throughout their educations.

I am a recent graduate from the University of Georgia with a major in Chemistry and a minor in Spanish. During my junior year, I spent the fall through summer semesters helping instruct general chemistry classes and organic chemistry labs. Overall, I personally enjoy teaching and tutoring others not only because it better helps people understand some of the more difficult concepts of the material but because it also allows me to fully cement my knowledge and help people further.

Hello! My name is Kayla and I am a fourth year at the University of Georgia studying Mechanical Engineering. I've always loved math and science, but I know not everyone does. I hope to be able to make these subjects a little easier for you in the future.

I am a graduate of the University of Georgia, where I received my B.S. in Physics. My research focus as an undergraduate was originally in nano-engineered solar cells, but later moved towards computer simulations. During my last year at UGA I tutored Introductory Physics students, and I found the experience very rewarding. I currently tutor for all levels of Physics as well as Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Quantitative SAT Prep. I enjoy teaching students how to visualize problems and how to develop their own general approach all types of word problems. I believe that the mindset developed through a better understanding of math and science can give someone an interesting, unique appreciation for how the world works, which I find very inspiring. Outside of tutoring I enjoy playing with my dog, backpacking, weight lifting, and cooking.

I am a former practicing attorney, transitioning into part-time tutoring and teaching so that I may spend more time with my family. I have previously taught part time at a local technical college. In addition to my teaching experience, throughout my career I have been responsible for training new legal associates, third-year law students, and interns. My favorite tutoring subject areas are writing, English, and reading comprehension. My undergraduate degree is in journalism and I have won several awards from the Georgia Press Association for my writing. I obtained perfect scores on the SAT verbal portion and on the SAT II test for Literature. My varied experiences have given me strong instructional, writing, and organizational skills that will allow me to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to increase their scores on standardized tests and perform better in school.

I have studied science and math for 12 years (high school, undergraduate, medical). I am a former doctor who left medicine to start a business in healthcare innovation. I enjoy tutoring very much in addition to my business and my schedule is very flexible.I have worked with children and adults of all ages, and find that the key to learning is making the material relatable to the student. Each student learns in his or her own way, thus the tutoring must be tailored specifically for each student.I look forward to working with you or your child and help foster a positive and productive learning environment.

In learning you teach, in teaching you learn. A book, a pen, a child, and a teacher can change the world.

I am currently a PhD candidate completing my doctorate at Yale University in the Medieval Studies department and has previously obtained masters degrees in English Literature and Medieval Studies from Yale, The University of Georgia, and the University of Glasgow. An Atlanta native, I returned from New Haven to live and work in Georgia while I finish the final stages of his dissertation. Over the course of my studies, I have taught undergraduate literature and history as an instructor at Yale, the University of Georgia, Oxford University, the University of Glasgow, the University of Connecticut, and Wesleyan College (Macon, Georgia). At the same time, I have worked as a teacher and tutor for the LSAT, GMAT, and GRE for over thirteen years. I am one of two authors of the all-new revision of Barrons GMAT guide and Barrons Passkey to the GMAT, and have previously written content for Kaplan, Parliament Tutors, and Success Prep. Because of my lengthy experience, I am intimately familiar with the methods and principles used by the major test preparation companies and have developed a variety of methods of his own. I take a different approach from the major national test prep companies in that I recognize that each student is different and that no single method is best for all test-takers. Come test day, the most successful students will be those who have found ways to combine their own native strengths with an additional complement of of time-tested techniques learned through rigorous study. I enjoy helping my students find the approach that will allow them to meet confidently their future educational goals. I live in midtown Atlanta, near Emory, with my brother and a sulky, spoiled hound dog.

I am a graduate from the University of Georgia where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence/Computing and Psychology. Throughout College and even in high school, I loved helping my peers and those around me achieve and found myself in many situations where I helped friends in one-on-one or group study sessions as well as joining a plethora of groups and associations that would connect me to students who needed a little extra help. My path in college allowed me to explore many different subjects in a variety of fields, but I find myself most passionate about Life Sciences, all levels of Math, Software Development in Java, Psychology, and Philosophy. I also enjoy aiding in the studying for Standardized Testing as I have always enjoyed the process of test taking and have acquired many skills and tips that could help anyone become a more skilled test taker. I believe education to be a cornerstone in becoming a fulfilled person in life, and this belief is what encourages and motivates me to help others further excel, prosper, and achieve all their goals in life. I believe everyone has the aptitude for learning anything they want, and I want to bring this talent out of all of my students to show them what has been hiding within all along.

I graduated from Glynn Academy on St. Simons Island, GA in 2017. Currently, I am a student at the University of Georgia studying Environmental Engineering. My favorite topic to tutor is algebra. I know how important having a strong foundation in algebra is since I still use it in school everyday!Outside of school, I love to hike and camp. I camped for two months in the American West, visiting over 20 National Parks, in 2019.

One of the things I love and find most rewarding about tutoring is the "Aha!" moment; that moment when it finally clicks for my students is the most exciting part of tutoring for me. I've grown up very academically driven, I was top ten in my class and was the STAR student of my school. I enjoy helping other students while keeping my own skills sharp as I'm preparing to apply for pharmacy school.

I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education with a specific emphasis in mathematics and technology. Afterwards, I graduated from the University of Maryland with a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction focusing on Art Education. I have attended the Institute for Reading in NYC at Teacher's College where I gained valuable experience in working with and inspiring beginning readers. I have been an elementary classroom teacher for 4 years, working in Kindergarten and fourth grade. I have worked with a variety of students in these settings, moving them through grade-level goals in reading, writing, math, social studies, and science. I am able to tutor in reading, phonics, writing, mathematics, grammar and mechanics, and study skills because of my specific training and experience. I have worked with students with special needs in the past and would welcome the opportunity to tutor any students that have special needs. I probably enjoy helping students with reading and writing the most, simply because success and confidence in these subjects help students perform better in all areas of school. When I tutor, I am patient and work to build knowledge from the student's current understanding of the subject. I know students need their confidence built and do not need further frustration. My aim is to make tutoring sessions fun and productive so students leave with a more positive feeling about their knowledge of the topics we covered. When I am not tutoring or teaching, I love to play with my cats, draw, bake, and listen to music.

As a dedicated Computer Science student at the University of Georgia, I am passionate about utilizing my knowledge to foster a love for learning in young minds. My experience as a Lead Instructor at Mathnasium has allowed me to mentor students aged 6 to 16, where I emphasize the importance of a strong educational foundation. I created and taught a coding class that introduced students to Java, HTML, and CSS, demonstrating that coding is rooted in logical thinking rather than just technical skills. I specialize in mathematics and have a strong background in Spanish and chemistry, believing in connecting subject matter to students' interests for enhanced engagement. My teaching philosophy revolves around building confidence through supportive interactions, often incorporating personal anecdotes to make lessons relatable. I find joy in sports, which helps me connect with students and create a fun learning environment. I am committed to inspiring students to embrace challenges and develop a lifelong passion for learning.

I assist people to face challenges, discover motivation, identify goals, tap into resources, develop skills, and pursue success.

My passion is using fun and creative ways to help students understand concepts that they are having difficulty with. I also strive to teach critical thinking skills and encourage students to learn the material, not memorize it. The most rewarding thing is when I can see the light bulb glow!

A long time math/physics enthusiast whose excited to help students of all levels learn!

Hi! I'm a student at the University of Georgia with a strong background in math and problem solving, and I really enjoy helping students feel more confident in subjects that might seem challenging at first. I know from experience that math can feel overwhelming when concepts are rushed or explained in a confusing way, so my goal is always to slow things down and break ideas into clear, manageable steps.

I am a fourth-year student at UGA working on a dual major in English and Economics while moving towards grad school for studies in Writing and Literature. While I am glad to use my experience in Economics to help students with math, I believe an understanding of the English language is an immensely important factor supporting a student's education, and one often disregarded. I hope to help students get a grasp of not just the simple rules, but why they are important to the effective communication they will be using for the rest of their lives, whether that be through understanding the basic grammar of our language or through the effective formatting of academic writing. My philosophy is that every apparent mistake is a clear opportunity for progression; every time I struggled with an assignment or made a bad grade in school showed me clearly what to do and how to improve my skills in the subject. I hope to help my students use this potential to its fullest. I live a full life outside of school as well, spending a lot of time outdoors with my friends mountain biking or hiking, and when I can't get away to the mountains, I keep up with my local contact boxing club. When I'm taking it easy, I love to work on writing short stories and some of my longer form works I hope to publish soon.

The way we think about ourselves shapes the way we learn. For instance, what do you believe you are capable of and why do you want to achieve the goals you set? As a research psychologist and educator, I've seen firsthand how transformative it can be when a student reflects on these and other important questions. I take a human-centered approach to tutoring, providing understanding, empathy, and skill building. I have been working with students for over ten years, working as a one-on-one tutor and teaching a wide variety of psychology courses at the college level. I am passionate about human behavior, earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Central Florida and a Master of Science in Social Psychology and a Doctor of Philosophy in Social Psychology from the University of Georgia. I have taught and/or tutored in various topics in Psychology (e.g., Research Methods, Health, Social), Statistics, Mathematics (e.g., Geometry, Algebra I and II), and Test Preparation (e.g., SAT). What I truly love about tutoring and mentoring students is getting to know what interests and inspires them, helping them enact evidence-based strategies for learning, and seeing their reactions to their own growth and improvement.

I am a graduate from the University of Georgia with a BA in English Literature. I have previously volunteered as a tutor for young Spanish speaking students in Athens, Georgia and recently returned from a year-long ESL teaching position in South Korea. I love to read and hike, and am currently studying German in my free time.

I am Project Manager by day and a cheerleading coach by night. I have a B.S. and M.B.A in Business Administration from the University of Georgia and two certifications on Project Management. I am extremely proficient in these areas as well as writing, secondary mathematics, and literacy. My favorite subjects are geared toward business and writing. I am eager to share my experience and passion for helping others. School can be tough, and I'm happy to help.

I am currently an undergraduate at UGA studying Computer Science. Starting from my sophomore year in high school, I have had many opportunities to work closely with children of all ages, most notably with middle schoolers and early high schoolers. I am a strong believer in teaching what the student desires to know and will work together with my students to figure out what is the best for their own lives. There is nothing more exciting to me than witnessing the moment an abstract concept becomes an understandable part of reality in the eyes of a child.

I'm truly passionate about the subjects that I tutor, and my experience teaching has given me the patience and skills necessary to help students improve their knowledge in an effective and engaging way.

I recently graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelor's degree in English. During my studies there I tutored at-risk teens at a nearby high school, focusing not only on the academic aspect but on cultivating mutual respect with the students as well. The experience I gained from this position has shown me the underlying tenacity in young men and women to learn if the curriculum is tailored to their interests or presented with a novel perspective.Additionally, my ESL certification has granted me further opportunities to hone my teaching skills and techniques. I enjoy teaching a wide variety of subjects, but I gravitate towards English, Essay Writing, and Literature.After graduation I moved to Colorado to experience itsvivacious geography, culture, and city. When I am not working, I can often be found outside soaking up the Colorado sun with my dog Syd.

I received my Bachelors of Science in psychology at North Georgia College and State University, and went on to pursue my Masters in Social Work at the University of Georgia. I am a skilled clinical social worker and behavioral health consultant with over 10 years experience in a non-profit healthcare setting. I have dedicated my career to serving the underserved in Northeast Georgia communities through direct service and program development. I am passionate about the field of social work and have enjoyed the teaching platform of experiential education and masters student intern supervision throughout my career. I am looking forward to the opportunity to share my passion for the social work profession through tutoring and helping individuals prepare for the Licensure Exam. I believe that you are the expert on how you learn best, and will work with you to individualize your tutoring experience utilizing an array of preparation materials curated for your learning style.

Simply put, I'm someone who loves teaching English and helping students improve their Verbal test scores. I've got over 5 years of experience now as a full-time professional tutor, and I've worked with students from a variety of cultures and academic backgrounds, including the US, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Colombia, Guatemala, and Mexico. I've been lucky enough to teach and travel in all those countries as well, having lived in Shanghai for 3 years and going on 2 in Mexico City now. The most rewarding part of tutoring for me is when I can take a passage or sentence structure or concept that seems like complete gibberish at first to my students and have them explain the concept back to me by the end of class. That flash of insight, that ohhh I get it! moment is why I continue to seek out new students who want to learn and improve so that I can share my expertise and knowledge of these exams with them. Having graduated from the University of Georgia with a BA in English and a BS in Psychology, I'm naturally curious about what makes us tick and how we find ways to relate to one another, even with seemingly insurmountable barriers between us. Living abroad, exploring new places, and soaking in new cultures have been my top priorities so far in my post-graduate life. I'm also an avid learner in my spare time and an unabashed Jeopardy nerd who is always willing to fall down a Wikipedia hole if a topic strikes my interest.

I love being a stepping stone to help my students reach their academic and professional goals. I'm most passionate about STEM and music. I'm a native Mandarin speaker, and I'm trying to learn Korean and Japanese as well!

I am a English Education Major studying at the University of Georgia! I've always had a passion for creative writing and literature that I hope to share with the world! This past summer I served as a Breakthrough Fellow where I taught writing to rising bright 6th graders and I hope to continue spreading the love for writing to all!

I also helped the Arizona PBS station create and execute strategic plans for analytics/metrics, website management, organizational workflow and structure.In addition to these topics, I can tutor in reading, reading comprehension, editing, English and vocabulary. Historically, I have tutored mostly adults as well as high school and college students. Depending on the topic, I'm confident I could adapt lessons for middle school students as well.I obtained my Bachelor's of Journalism from the University of Georgia's Grady College of Journalism. I then joined AJC.com as a copy-editing intern after completing four other editorial internships including Essence Magazine in New York City and the Dow Jones Copy Editing Internship.As a tutor, I believe the core of success is connection and adaptability. I adjust my techniques to the individual and their specific needs. Whether it's in a one-on-one or group setting, I try to build a connection through active engagement and positive reinforcement.To support this tailored approach, I'm a huge believer in reinforcing core fundamentals and repeatable processes that build ongoing wins.

My name is Aarav Sehgal, and I am a sophmore in the Honors College of the University of Georgia. I am a Biology major on the pre-medicine track. In highschool, my SAT score was a 1530, and my current GPA is 4.0. I got a 790 on the math section of the SAT, and I got a 5 on AP Biology, AP Lang, and AP Calculus AB to name a few. I also ended honors algebra with an A+ when I took it in middle and high school. I have a strong passion for teaching subjects such as AP and College Biology, AP Lang, SAT Math, and algebra, because of my success in these subjects and my previous experience tutoring peers when they experienced difficulties with these subjects. As a tutor, I will take the time to properly review all concepts before a scheduled lesson to ensure that I have the best possible information and understanding to help my students. I am also dedicated to helping my students understand difficult concepts by teaching them in a way that suits their learning style. I look forward to being able to help students with my knowledge and expertise!

I'm an attorney, Ph.D. student, and aspiring law professor. I am working on my dissertation for my Ph.D. in Law at Yale, having previously earned my J.D. magna cum laude from the University of Michigan Law School. I practiced for three years at a large law firm in Washington, D.C., primarily representing television stations. I also speak German, having learned it as a high school exchange student, majored in it in college, and having spent a summer working in a Berlin law office. As much as I love the law--and I really do!--I also love teaching. I recently spent a semester teaching as an Adjunct Professor of Law at a law school; that experience confirmed for me that teaching is what I was meant to do. I have had numerous other teaching and tutoring experiences, including working for my university's tutoring service as an undergraduate student and later working for my law school as a tutor.

Hello, my name is Kristin and I am a graduate of the University of Georgia. I am a huge sports fan. Math has always been my favorite subject and I have had experience with long-term substitute positions teaching Algebra 2 and Trigonometry. I have been a high school substitute teacher since March of 2012, but am also comfortable tutoring middle school and elementary school math. I know mathematics is not every student's favorite subject so I like to relate the subject to something the student enjoys. I can relate to almost all students in one way or another. I love the feeling of helping a student succeed and would love to help your child, too!

I know how difficult school and studying can be at times, and that is why I am passionate about helping students succeed. I am still a student myself as I am wrapping up my M.Ed. degree in Counseling and Human Development at Lamar University. My graduation will be in December of this year. My undergraduate degree was a BA in History at the University of Georgia. My main areas of knowledge are in history and psychology/counseling, and I am a huge fan of those subjects. I really enjoy telling the stories that can be found in history, and I am so intrigued with how the mind works. My teaching and learning philosophy is that anyone can learn anything. Sometimes we just need a little bit of help to get over some hurdles. I have a pretty laid-back style when it comes to working with people as well. In my spare time, I like to exercise, watch sports, do just about anything outdoors, and play adult league baseball.

Hi! I am a second-year medical student with several years of tutoring experience working with elementary, middle, and high school students, as well as college and pre-medical students in subjects ranging from mathematics and general science to organic chemistry and MCAT preparation. Working with students at different stages has shown me how powerful it is when a difficult or abstract concept finally "clicks." Seeing students light up as they connect ideas together is one of the main reasons I love teaching. As a future physician, I see tutoring as an extension of the same skills I will use in medicine: breaking down complex information clearly, meeting students where they are, and supporting them as they grow. I bring patience, enthusiasm, and a strong foundation in science to every session, and I am committed to helping each student build both understanding and confidencewhether they are mastering fractions or preparing for the MCAT.

Hello! I'm Kathryn, a current high school math teacher in the greater Atlanta area. I graduated from the University of Georgia in May 2010 with a Bachelor of Science in Mathematics Education. I am about to start my 3rd year of teaching, and I love it. I have worked with students on the new Georgia math curriculum on levels from 8th grade to 11th grade. Math has been something I have enjoyed since I learned my times tables. My love for logic and puzzles has carried with me for many years, and my passion is to help students make math click. The joy that comes when a student is successful is incomparable to anything I have yet to experience.Through my experience, I have found that learning about a student and getting to know them and how they work is extremely important to their success. The beauty of math is there are multiple ways to solve a problem. This allows me, as a tutor and teacher, to enable students to discover methods that work best for them. In the end, I am not only teaching the math skills to boost the grade or the understanding, but I am also teaching problem solving skills that will last a lifetime.My enthusiasm and ability to relate to students is tremendously helpful when tutoring, and I can't wait to help you!

Teaching is my passion. I was fortunate enough to discover this upon graduating from college, and every job I have had since involves teaching of some kind. I always wanted to be an English teacher, and I realized my dream in 2006. Since then, I have come to find that my favorite type of work is helping students achieve a level of reading comprehension that helps them not only understand critical passages, but also real-world materials. I think in English classes, we assume that students do always get the main idea, but as I keep teaching, I realize that reading critically is a skill we must work on. I am constantly sharpening my skills in helping students become better readers, and I am excited about the prospects of working with new students, as they help me learn even more about my teaching.

I am a current educator, passionate about aiding and empowering our youth. I tutor various subjects, including English, graduate test preparation, and K-12 test preparation, including ISEE, GMAT, LSAT, and STAAR. I believe students should be free, independent thinkers and unafraid to exude their intellect. They should also take pride in their values and have confidence in their ability to excel at anything. My life motto is: "Hard work beats talent when talent fails to work hard."

Helping students is the rent I pay to be a part of society, our global community, as corny as that may sound. Words/language are my media so I appreciate every opportunity I get to help others achieve their English-language goals: learning to read, becoming a better writer, learning English as a second language, etc.Currently, I'm an online ESL teacher with Education First. From 2010-2014, I was a youth services library aide in metro Atlanta, GA. My public library work included planning library events for kids such as preschool story time, Vacation Reading Program (a summer literacy initiative), and community outreach to schools and daycare centers.I have a BA in English from the University of Georgia and a 120-hour TESOL certificate through International Open Academy. I'm contemplating going for a Masters in Education but for now I've taken my experience to the internet to tutor in all manor of English-Language Arts subject matter including English literature, English as a Second Language (ESL), Writing, Literacy, etc.I'm a patient, laid back minimalist when it comes to my teaching style (not a ton of props or over-the-top edutainment). I am here to help you learn, flourish, and become more confident in your English studies.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have a Bachelors degree and two Masters degrees in Mathematics from the United States Naval Academy, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Georgia. All of my degrees were earned with at least a 3.9 GPA and I earned the honor of being named the top math major from my undergraduate institution when I graduated. I have also had the pleasure of teaching mathematics at two different colleges and started tutoring math and physics over 20 years ago. Please allow me to accompany you on the exciting journey of exploration into math and physics!
