Joshua P.
Cedarville University
Experienced K-8 Tutor Specializing in English and Reading
I hold my Bachelor of Arts in International Studies after learning about different cultures, religions, and people groups during my time at Cedarville University. That was the beginning of opening my eyes to how vast our world is, and gaining an excitement for understanding all of the diverse ideas and traditions that exist. This excitement for learning is something I still hold on to, and look to share with each student I meet. Since graduating in 2015, I have discovered a passion for teaching, specializing in English and Reading. This passion started during my five years of working with an afterschool program for elementary age students in my community, where I learned the value of truly listening to each student. My desire to meet students at their level and help them excel has only grown bigger, as I have spent the past four years tutoring students around the world in English and Reading through different online platforms. These experiences have molded my teaching philosophy: recognizing the individuality of each student. I look to weave their hobbies and interests into the subject material, helping to build a personal connection to the material. This approach not only creates enthusiasm but also instills a sense of value in them. Throughout each tutoring lesson, I vocally encourage each student's strengths, while internally taking note of areas where they can be challenged to grow in the future. My goal is to support each student in the way that works best for them. I am happy to collaborate with the adults in their lives, so that each student can receive the support they need, and continue forward in their educational journey. Please reach out with any questions, or let me know if you're interested in scheduling a tutoring lesson.

Sher Ali C.
COMSAT University Islamabad
Turning “I Don’t Get It” Into “I’ve Got This!”
Hi, I'm Sher, a passionate and committed educator who finds true joy in helping students unlock their potential. With a solid academic foundation and experience teaching learners from various levels and backgrounds, I create a learning space that feels encouraging, interactive, and genuinely tailored to each student’s pace and goals. Over the years, I’ve helped students in subjects like U.S. History, Psychology, Physics, Mathematics, and English, guiding them through everything from tricky concepts to exam prep, assignments, and academic writing. Whether it’s breaking down a physics law, solving a math equation, understanding historical contexts, or improving grammar and expression, I aim to make learning enjoyable and meaningful. My teaching style is flexible, patient, and student-centered. I use real-life examples, clear explanations, and interactive discussions to keep lessons engaging. I also focus on building confidence, because once a student starts believing in themselves, real progress begins. I’m someone who truly values growth, not just in grades but in mindset. Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, writing, and learning about the world, which keeps me fresh and connected to what I teach. If you’re looking for a friendly, supportive tutor who’s committed to your progress and success, I’d be honored to work with you. Let’s start this journey together!
