Award-Winning Tutors from University of Georgia

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.

I enjoy working with young children because they have such wonderful energy! I love reading and it makes me happy to see my students begin to understand how words work. I have experience with various types of needs and session settings for tutoring. I'm a creative person so it is easy to make sessions fun and edifying! I currently teach K-5 Science in a STEM Lab and am loving every minute of it! I was also the 2014-2015 teacher of the year at Midvale Elementary School, an International Baccalaureate and STEM school. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and your student!

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.

I recently graduated with my MPhil in Biological Anthropological Science from the University of Cambridge, and have over four years of tutoring and teaching experience. I also hold dual undergraduate degrees in Anthropology and Geology from the University of Georgia, a MSc in Human Osteology and Funerary Archaeology from the University of Sheffield, and am a first-year PhD student at the Ohio State University. As an educator, I have worked with a diverse range of students, including middle and high school scholars preparing for in-class and standardized testing, as well as college students and incarcerated individuals studying for their GED exams. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering a supportive learning environment where students feel empowered to explore complex concepts and develop critical thinking skills. My favorite subject to teach is science, as my personal ethos as a scientist is to make the discipline more accessible and exciting to everyone!

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.

I have a master's degree in Spanish Literature from the University of Georgia and a bachelor's degree in Spanish and Latin American Studies from the University of Kansas. I am a certified to teach Spanish levels K-12, and I am currently a Spanish teacher at Peachtree Ridge High School. I have been a high school teacher for over 14 years, and I am passionate about working with kids of all ages as well as with adults. I believe that a great tutor is helpful, kind and encouraging, works at a comfortable pace, explains concepts in a way that the student can understand, changes her teaching style if something is not working, and always tries to find fun, engaging ways to help students learn the material. A superior tutor does all these things, but also teaches students how to teach themselves so that they can eventually become independent life-long learners. Individual tutoring does wonders for student learning and performance because it gives students the chance to work with someone whose number one goal is to tailor instruction to fit the specific needs and personality of the students in a way that a classroom setting cannot provide. One of the most rewarding parts of being a teacher is seeing a student overcome the challenges he/she is facing and become confident as he/she sees her grades getting better and better.I enjoy spending time with my three sons (ages 5, 7 and 13) swimming, playing sports and reading. I love to run, exercise, hike and travel. In college, I studied in Ecuador and Costa Rica. I have also traveled to Mexico, Peru and Nicaragua. I'm interested in the history, art, music and literature of all different cultures of the United States and the world. Also, I am a talented cello player and a not-so-talented guitar player

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.

Two and a half years ago, while studying Biotechnology at the University of Georgia I began my tutoring career in Chemistry and ESL. I quickly realized I was a great tutor, and enjoyed tutoring, which lead me to start my own Organic Chemistry test prep service, CHEM911. After graduating I took a gap year before applying to medical school to teach English to students in South Korea. I know that teaching and tutoring will always be a part of my life and aspire to ultimately work as a doctor who trains incoming medical students. My former students say that I am talented at explaining difficult concepts in easy terms and at making learning enjoyable. As a tutor, I pride myself in putting in a lot of time outside of the tutoring session to prepare for each student's individual needs so that our time together will be as efficient as possible.

I am currently a professional school counselor. I am also a certified teacher for grades K-5 and I have experience as an Early Intervention Program teacher for Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade. My favorite subject is Math- and I have tutored struggling middle and high school students and helped them meet standards that they were previously failing. I am also interested in helping students enjoy reading and discussing what they have read. I believe that the key to learning is making the material accessible and real to a student, so I do my best to explain at the student's level and relate the subject to the student's interests.

I am passionate about helping students because I believe in the transformative power of education. As an undergraduate majoring in computer science and math at the University of Georgia, I have a strong foundation in mathematics and enjoy making math concepts accessible and enjoyable for my students. My favorite subject to tutor is math because it develops creativity and problem-solving skills, which are crucial for success in many fields. With years of experience tutoring students in a wide range of subjects from algebra to calculus, I focus on creating an interactive, student-centered learning environment tailored to each individual's learning style. My teaching philosophy is rooted in patience, encouragement, and fostering a deep understanding of the material. I excel at helping students to get better grades and do well on their math assessments. In my free time, I enjoy playing chess, watching movies, and playing video games with my friends.

I am a recent graduate from the University in Georgia, where I double majored in English and Linguistics. Until recently, I tutored in-person at a local high school, where I discovered an excitement for working with students one-on-one. I always knew I was interested in education: after all, both my parents are teachers. However, before tutoring for myself I didn't realize how much I enjoyed and cared about helping students reach their fullest potential. As an English major, I enjoy tutoring in literature most of all. I remember hearing friends and classmates talk about how much they disliked their required readings or their English classes, and I want to be able to help you regain some excitement for reading. With my background in linguistics, I also truly delight in the formal features in language, which means that I seek out opportunities to answer questions about grammar, syntax, and vocabulary!

Hello! I am a business expert with specialization in business development and a background as an active participant in academia that spans over ten years. After graduating high school in the honors program, I attended and graduated from the University of Georgia with a Bachelors of Arts in Journalism in Advertising and a BSFCS in Consumer Journalism.

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.

All of these skills are applicable to Reading and Writing SAT test prep, as well as AP English test prep.I can also offer assistance with general study skills, time management, and problem solving skills. I'm a practiced hand at learning to study, and I was never a naturally successful academic - I had to work at it and teach myself, and figure out ways to be successful, and I can help you do the same!My teaching strategy as a tutor in any subject makes my students love me because I will go the extra mile for each and every student who truly wants to learn. I challenge my students to think complexly in ways they generally have not been challenged to think before, and I refuse to give answers. I truly believe every student can rise to any challenge given proper guidance, and I feel they can see I truly believe in their abilities. My job as a tutor is to guide my students in their development and show them strategies to become better readers, writers, and thinkers independently, not to show them where commas go.I am not a boring English teacher who expects students to love everything I put in front of them. I have a very broad base of experience and, believe me, not all of it I found interesting. I love Graphic Novels and Comics, British Literature, and Poets like Wallace Stevens and Eliot.

After a successful career at McIntosh High School in Peachtree City, GA, I matriculated to the University of Georgia. Seeking a degree in Neuroscience, I am working my way to med-school and a bright future. Active in both the Honors program and Center for Undergraduate Research, I have developed a great work ethic which I hope to impart to my students! I've spent the past two summers teaching private swim lessons to children and adults throughout my community. Turning a person's goal into reality is the greatest thrill I've known! Similarly, I spent two semesters as a mentor at the Thomas Lay After-School Program in Athens, GA. There, I both tutored and befriended the children of the program. My favorite memory occurred during mandatory reading hours. A stubborn, apathetic boy refused to read any books. Rather than becoming frustrated, I asked him "If you could be any animal, what would you be?" I knew the library had a large section of zoology books, and hoped to pique his interest. Immediately, he responded "A fish!" The following weeks were filled with shark, octopus, and whale books. To this day, his transformation from disinterested to engaged and motivated fuels my desire to mentor today's youth.

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.

My goal is to foster success and build confidence in every learner, whether they are just beginning their language journey or already possess advanced fluency. I am passionate about sharing the richness of the French language and culture and find great joy in watching my students grow into confident, capable linguists.

As someone who has both tutored others and been tutored, I am passionate about finding engaging, fun, and helpful methods for students to learn based on their learning style! Currently, I am pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Physiology alongside a minor in Russian at the University of Georgia. I specialize in teaching elementary and middle school level language arts and science. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, creative writing, playing chess, and playing the violin.

Squad up! Let's learn! Aspiring Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon wants to give back to the community and help others realize their dreams and tackle the seemingly mundane tasks schools throw at us.

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 have a passion for tutoring. One of the most rewarding experiences for me is when one of my students finally understands something they've been having trouble with.

I am an honors student at UGA pursuing a B.A. in International Affairs and a B.B.A. in Economics and International Business. I am also studying for a minor in Religion. Some of my favorite subjects to tutor in are languages, because language practice requires one-on-one conversation, and writing. I believe that a strong writer can succeed anywhere regardless of their field. Furthermore, strong knowledge of a foreign language is known to make job applicants more competitive while also increasing the likelihood of a higher initial salary. Learning foreign languages is also a personal passion of mine; I can speak Gujarati, Hindi, Spanish, Arabic, and French! I've been tutoring for all ages in English and writing for four years. Although I have taught in classrooms, I have found that personalized and individualized tutoring is much more effective so that each student's unique needs are met within the session.
