Benjamin K.
San Diego State University
Experienced English Language Arts Tutor, Helps with Standardized Tests
Tell me what your goals are, and I will show you how to make them happen! I taught in public schools for 4 years and taught Adult Basic Education for 3, specializing in the GED test. For the past year I have been tutoring privately in ELA, Math, and LSAT test prep. I am willing to help you with STEM, though my expertise is English reading and writing. I'm experienced with age groups 6th grade up to adult, including incarcerated adult learners. Some of the most common lessons I teach are writing lessons on how to 'show, not tell' and reading lessons to guide students through advanced texts such as Shakespeare. I can provide online sessions anywhere in the world. But also, if you are looking for an in person session in the San Diego county area, I am your guy! Feedback from former and current students: "Benjamin works very well with my son. He is very nice and knowledgeable. He writes a detailed summary of the lessons they worked on for me every time. My son is really happy with his sessions." -Shabnam Z. Current Student since Aug 8, 2024 "Very patient and well skilled. We worked together and i was able to learn new techniques and skills to help me with my path in taking the lsat" -Brianna S. Oct 9, 2024 "I recently had the pleasure of working with Ben, and I can confidently say that they exceeded our expectations. In our first session, it was clear that he is knowledgeable in English and came fully prepared with a well-structured plan, which made the learning experience both efficient and enjoyable. And kept the kids engaged. Additionally, Ben provided a small homework assignment (a couple vocabulary words & writing concepts) for the next session, which helped reinforce what was taught and encouraged independent practice. I appreciate this thoughtful approach, as it shows their commitment to my kids' progress. I highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective tutor. We look forward to continuing our sessions!" -Charlotte C. Oct 18, 2024

David K.
Williams College, Framingham High School
5000+ hours experience tutoring all ages and abilities in math, science, SAT/ACT prep, college essays, and more
I’m Dave, and I want to be your tutor! I graduated magna cum laude from Williams College in 2014 and have been tutoring full-time for more than five years, with over 7000 hours of one-on-one sessions from 2017 to present. I first gravitated toward tutoring because of my strong academic background: in high school, I earned straight As in all academic subject areas, scored a 2400 on the SAT, and 5s on ten AP exams. In college, I completed a dual major in political economy and environmental policy as well as significant coursework in math and english, and was inducted into the Phi Beta Kappa honor society with the top 2% of my graduating class. However, academic aptitude is only one requirement for tutoring excellence – over the last five years, my first priority has been learning new approaches to teaching material and getting to know my students’ learning styles so that I am able to present subject matter in the way that makes most sense to you. I’ll do everything I can to help you feel comfortable and supported in our work together – my sessions are always a safe place to make mistakes (that’s when the learning happens!), and I am always happy to explain more or review prerequisite material you might be a little rusty on. I work in nearly all subject areas, but my specialties are math and science courses, SAT/ACT prep (including all sections of these tests), and college essays/applications. The majority of my students are in grades 6-12, but I have experience working with students of all ages. I’m equally comfortable working with all ability levels, whether I’m helping struggling students get up to speed or helping high-achieving students challenge themselves to do even better. I offer sessions online and have been working 100% remotely since before the pandemic, so I’m confident in my ability to help all students thrive in an online learning environment. If you think I might be a good fit for your needs, reach out and we can schedule a free in-depth consultation!

Cat H.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MIT Undergraduate Specializing in SAT and AP Tutoring
Hello! My name is Cat, and I am a sophomore at MIT majoring in brain and cognitive sciences. I am extremely fond of aiding others in comprehending a multitude of topic. Thus, I have engaged in numerous teaching opportunities. These opportunities include being a TA for two MIT undergraduate courses and as a teacher in biology and chemistry in an MIT international teaching program in Germany. --AP Experience-- I possess experience tutoring topics including AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP U.S. Government, AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP Literature and Composition, and AP Language and Composition. --SAT Experience-- I have extensively studied strategies regarding how to approach SAT style mathematics and reading/writing questions and ultimately received a 770 on both of the aforementioned sections on the SAT. Thus, provided this experience, I am confident that I will be able to provide and explain the exercises necessary for any student to improve their score. My lessons will be divided by subject and components, with exercises and real SAT practice problems that aid in further understanding and solidifying approaches to different questions. The aforementioned preparation will include a personalized SAT schedule that I formulate to accommodate the needs of each individual student. Via the given method, I have aided one individual in improving their score by over 300 points throughout the duration of a singular month. I intend to not merely critique the technical errors of a given student's essay, but rather to provide insight upon the diction and style of the writing. I will thoroughly explain and discuss various aspects of a given essay with the student, providing constructive criticism to aid in the development of their writing. --Free Video Consultation-- I am happy to answer any questions that you may possess regarding my teaching strategy, profile, etc. over a free of charge 15-minute video consultation!

Yona A.
University of Toronto, Waseda University
*Currently Accepting New Students!* Friendly and Passionate English/Creative Writing/ESL Tutor with 8+ Years in Creative Writing.
Hello! I'm Yona, and I'm a University of Toronto student specializing in English/Creative Writing/Education! I have always loved teaching English to others by using the most fun and engaging methods. I was an AP English student in high school and am familiar with writing expectations for formal and close-reading analysis essays. I also have over 8 years of experience in creative writing and self-web publishing. When I teach, I love providing my students with feedback on their work and watching them absorb and improve the next time. I have experience teaching writers from various age groups, cultural backgrounds, writing styles, interests, and skills over the past 4 years. I have also interned at various Japanese high schools and kindergartens as an English teacher, so I have experience teaching English as a second language as well. I strongly believe that there is no right or wrong in writing. It is all about how you explore and express your creativity and ideas. I am simply here to guide you through the technical details to help you better express such ideas and grow as the individual writer you aspire to be! If you feel that we'll be a good fit, please feel free to message me! I look forward to our time together and working with you! :)
