Jonathan R.
Bob Jones University, Liberty University
Experienced Math, Test Prep (SAT, ACT, ASVAB, GED, GRE), and Writing Tutor
After securing my M.Ed. in Secondary Education in 2011 and working as a math teacher and a substitute teacher, I ventured onto a different career path in 2015 when my tutoring work unexpectedly became my full-time job. During my time as a self-employed tutor, I have accumulated close to 20,000 hours with well over 1000 students while maintaining a five-star rating. My areas of expertise are math, test prep, and writing. Math may seem like some mysterious subject that only a few can comprehend, but that’s just not the case. I can help students unlock the mystery of mathematics and get them on the road to comprehension. In my time as a tutor and a teacher, I have instructed students at all stages of life and mathematical development—from third graders to adults in their 60's, from elementary math to college-level calculus. Test preparation is where most of my tutoring hours come from, as the years of prepping for tests can stretch well into a person’s adult years. Improving one's score not only means being familiar with the subject material, but also requires the right pacing, problem-solving strategies, and test-taking skills. In over a decade as a professional tutor, I have helped more than 800 students prepare for the SAT, ACT, ASVAB, GED, and GRE. Writing is another area where I can provide assistance. For students working on their college essays, I can offer guidance on selecting a prompt, constructing a response, and editing the final draft. If you’re writing a paper, I can walk you through the entire process, from brainstorming to constructing a thesis to finding and citing references to editing. I’ll help you understand the rules of grammar, punctuation, and format, and I'm familiar with the MLA, APA, and Chicago schools of style.

Nilou H.
University of Toronto
PhD in Biomedical Engineering (U of T) — patient, plain-language tutoring in math, physics, stats & engineering
I'm Nilou, a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Toronto, with undergraduate and master's degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering. I tutor university and high-school math, physics, and statistics, plus engineering coursework, signals and systems, MATLAB, Python, and intro machine learning and data analysis. I also help with GRE quant and general research and study skills. My whole approach is to explain hard ideas in plain language and meet you exactly where you are. I don't rush, I don't make you feel behind, and I find the way of explaining that finally makes it click for you. Years of research and mentoring taught me that almost anything becomes clear with the right analogy and a bit of patience. Sessions are online and flexible. Tell me what you're working on and where you're stuck, and we'll build from there.
