There is a plethora of experienced tutors available to you, but here are some of the things that set me apart:
*Perfect SAT/SAT II scores - In addition to a 2400 SAT, I have scored an 800 GRE and a 780 GMAT.
*Extraordinary track record - The vast majority of my students see unusually high results. My students frequently go from producing C, D, or F material to B or A material within the first couple weeks. My long time SAT students average between 300 and 400 points improvement in their scores; The most improved student went from a 1480 to a 2160 (680 point improvement) and my highest scoring student earned a 2350 (Update: highest scoring student earned a 1570 on the 1600 scale).
*Relate well to all types of students. - Some students don't respond well to tutoring because they can't relate to the tutor. A person of many interests, I have taught all ages and many different personalities and always get great results. In particular, I have had better success than most of my counterparts for many "jock" students who don't relate to a brains-only, "nerd" type of tutor.
*Easy going and positive. - Keeping a student motivated and positive is a huge part of getting good results for that student. I am able to keep a student's spirits up even when they're struggling so that they can continue to improve and get over any temporary obstacles.
*Well qualified and current. - I take my reputation as a top tutor seriously, and as such I take steps to ensure that I stay up-to-date with new trends in academics and standardized tests. I take the SAT every year, and have scored a perfect 2400 on it eight out of the last ten times. I keep up to date with popular scientific theories, read all of the novels assigned to my students that I haven't previously read, and even study new languages every year to help improve communication with my ESL students.

I believe that loving to learn is natural. The key to revitalizing our natural, instinctive desire to learn, is to make it as fun as it can be. That is how I made it through Pacifica Graduate Institute with nearly 4.0 grades, and passed my license test. The other place you learn to love learning is in the real world. For me, that occurred as an intern and finally licensed Psychotherapist as an Intensive In-Home Family Therapist.

Hi Families - I'm an accomplished teacher & educational tutor with 10+ years of experience in both traditional & Montessori classrooms, with a masters & undergraduate degree in education, as well as an AMI Montessori Primary(age 3-6) Credential. I bring a sense of enthusiasm to my work with children, while guiding them to learn new skills motivated by a love of learning & a bond with their teacher. I offer one-on-one, in-person tutoring for young learners of all abilities catered to their individual needs & goals in Santa Barbara County. Look me up on google for a detailed bio of my experience and my resume!
My educational philosophy is rooted in the belief that learning should be a fun & playful experience. My combination of traditional & Montessori pedagogies allows me to create a unique learning environment that fosters confidence & success, by building a bond with my students.
From a young age, Meaghan began working directly with children as a ballet teacher and babysitter, and then went on to study education at Skidmore College in upstate New York. During college, she was trained by experts in the field of education, learning about best-practice teaching strategies and the social-emotional development of the child in the classroom. After college, she went on to work in elementary schools, at an occupational therapy clinic and then given her love and mastery of the language, to Spain to teach in an international and then a Montessori school. Meaghan was then inspired to return to school and earn an AMI Primary Diploma at the Montessori Institute of San Diego followed by a Master of Arts in Education from Loyola University Maryland.
Meaghan feels lucky to still hold a strong love of learning that she gained from her education - and aims to share that joy with the children she works with. Outside of the classroom, Meaghan loves to be outdoors, try new restaurants, spend time with friends & family, and most of all, travel the world.

For undergrad, I attended Barnard College, the historically women's college of Columbia University. I studied Physics and German, and filled my extra time with studio art classes. I was awarded the Henry A. Boorse Physics Prize in Physics, and am now a PhD student in physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I am passionate about STEM education, and worked for two years as a Barnard Peer-to-Peer tutor teaching students in Calculus in addition to tutoring privately.
I believe that anyone who's deemed themselves "not a Math Person" has the ability to do really well in all levels of math. From experience, I understand ways to help physics feel graspable, and to help students make seemingly obscure concepts logical and applicable to real life. My philosophy centers around the fact that that individuals have different learning styles, and that teaching effectively requires understanding each student's unique needs.
Thanks to my liberal arts education in college and in high school, I have excellent writing skills across a diversity of subjects and circumstances. In college, I took classes in sociology, literature, history, etc.; some of the courses I most enjoyed included Contemporary German Prose Fiction, Culture of Food and Health in Japan, and Race, Class, and Politics in New York City. In studying German, I frequently wrote essays in both English and German. I am also an expert in writing application essays (successfully gaining admission to undergraduate and PhD programs), and have a plethora of experience in scientific writing necessary for communicating research. Additionally, I am National Science Foundation (NSF) graduate fellow, and have experience being successful in writing fellowship applications.
I've been lucky to study with many inspiring teachers, and know how influential a great instructor can be; I'm excited to help others find success in achieving their goals, too. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

I graduated from Westmont College in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in history. In 2019, I received my preliminary single subject teaching credential. During my credential program at Westmont, I taught three classes at Goleta Valley Junior High- one period of 7th grade world history and two periods of 8th grade U.S. History.
At my current non-profit job, the Turner Foundation, I tutor a 1st grade student who is an English Language Learner. He is learning how to read, so I am helping him memorize the alphabet through flash cards and sight words. He is improving every day because now he recognizes the letters in words to make the sound.
I have taught three different history classes- 7th world history, 8th U.S. history, and 10th world history. Having a broader knowledge of the content means telling the story of our past in a clear and concise manner. Also, I was able to teach the content that met the needs of my visual, kinesthetic and verbal learners.
Please contact me via email to discuss and schedule a tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from you!

I am very patient, efficient, experienced with proofreading and writing, and good at communication.
I have written dozens and dozens of high school and college research papers and know what teachers/professors are looking for in a good paper. In college I was on an editorial board for a film studies magazine (titled Film Matters) and edited undergraduate research papers, so I am excellent with collaboration and assisting the ideas you want to put on the page.
I have been playing drums for 9 years, including playing with two bands and was in high school drumline for 4 years. As a result, I can be a great help with technique, improvisation, and drum sheet music.

If there are any concepts you are struggling with, I am well equipped to explain them clearly and coherently. In case you are having trouble with similar subjects (TV, photography, film production, screenwriting), I can provide some aid there as well.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you need help with anything! I am friendly and flexible, willing to fit into your schedule. I have a versatile breadth of knowledge and can even answer questions about math, logic, history, philosophy, etc.

As a tutor, I bring a proven track record of successful academic writing, a compassionate spirit, and a strong commitment to helping any student or writer find their voice and polish their prose. I have a keen sense of the mechanics of language and a knack for helping writers create a logical framework that will allow their writing to flow naturally and achieve its purpose, whether that be to inform, persuade or delight. My approach is to (kindly!) help you work through any weak spots in your writing, whether they be at the sentence level or in the overall structure, so that you can communicate effectively and elegantly. I won't write anything for you, but will gladly provide feedback on as many drafts as it takes to help you achieve your very best!
After earning straight-A's in high school and achieving a perfect score on the SAT Verbal, I attended John Carroll University on a full academic scholarship, where I completed a double major in English Literature and Classical Languages. In addition to writing dozens of successful essays during my time as an undergrad, I worked as a paid tutor in the university library, helping my peers outline and revise their essays. I also volunteered over 120 hours in local K-12 schools as a tutor and classroom assistant, helping students of all ages with literacy skills and homework/test prep.
While applying for graduate programs after college, I worked for a tutoring center where I supported students in English, History, Study Skills, SAT Verbal prep, and college entrance essays. I then went on to earn a Master's degree in English Literature from The University of Chicago. During my MA, I had the opportunity to take courses in English, Comparative Literature, Philosophy, and the well-known Little Red Schoolhouse Seminar in Academic and Professional Writing. I also wrote a Master's thesis, which was a year-long process involving extensive research, numerous drafts, and heaps of fortitude! My thesis was well-received and I graduated with honors in 2019.

Professionally: Hello! My name is Andrew and I'm an experienced tutor and a recent college graduate. I graduated from the University of California Santa Barbara with a major in mathematics. Tutoring is something that I'm very passionate about because I love helping people get over things that are hard for them, giving them the resources necessary to overcome their challenges and creating the passion it takes to turn their weaknesses into strengths! I was also a Supplemental Instruction Leader (SIL) and have been professionally trained to meet the needs of students who are having difficulties in hard classes. I have learned to be patient and accept that others learn at different speeds with different methods.

Hi! I'm Leland. I graduated from the University of California, Davis with a BA in Linguistics. During my studies, I had a emphasis on Education concerning Second Language Acquisition learning, and Child Language Development. In short, my interest is in working with kids and teaching English. I have been a music instructor in my early years, and I absolutely loved it. I have also traveled overseas to Taiwan for two months, where I served as an English Teacher for an elementary school located in the rural southern party of the country. Therefore, I have gained the ability to be flexible, adaptable, build close relationships and assist students confidently. I find the most effective method to teach is to be interactive and give positive reinforcement! I want to make sure my students feel comfortable and enjoy what they are learning. The reason why I am aiming to be a teacher is because I know how teachers make a difference in students' lives, and the impact it carries. Therefore, being a pillar for a student's academic success is the greatest accomplishment for me!

Hi I'm Enoch. I recently came back from Japan as the Head English Teacher and Academic Coordinator of ELITE Tokyo. I worked in Japan for three years teaching English and music to students of all ages. In 2014, I graduated from Westmont, a Private Christian Liberal Arts college in Santa Barbara, with a Major in Music Performance. Desiring to pursue my dream in music again, I will be beginning my Master's in Music and teacher's assistant-ship at UCSB this fall of 2018.
I have always liked teaching in all shapes and forms, whether it be giving private lessons in music, coaching in swimming, or even mentoring in spiritual walks of life. Since middle school, I began tutoring when peers would acknowledge my top grades and thus parents would request me as a tutor. Since then, every student would show progress and seeing his or her eyes be amazed by their own ability to reach their own goals was frankly, addicting. The truth is: every student has the potential to be great at what they want to achieve. Sometimes we just need a tutor to help us recognize that.

Prior to accepting a position as a sales director for a technology company, I taught English 1, Introduction To Literature, at UCSB, and also Subject A, remedial English for entering students unable to meet the requirements for writing essays in lower division humanity courses. Also, I taught Introduction To Literature classes at Santa Barbara City College and also taught senior English at St. Anthony's Preparatory School. I held the position of Editor-in-Chief with Ross-Erikson, Publishers during their operations in Santa Barbara.
When my technology sales position was terminated due to the recession, I was glad to be able to return to the profession I enjoyed the most - teaching literature and expository writing. My most recent tutoring client, a high school sophomore, had a fear of writing and exhibited poor writing mechanics and a weak vocabulary. He has improved both and is no longer afraid of essay writing. When my daughter was a high school student, she had difficulty writing essays. I tutored her but did not make the frequent mistake some parents do writing essays for their children. She is now a professional writer, creating documents worth thousands of dollars for her employer.

I have a degree in Ecology and Evolution (B.S.) from UCSB and a Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Biological Science from UNAM, and I have worked in ecological research for the last couple of years. In addition, I have experience as a science educator at the elementary school and the college level. At UNAM, I lectured on ecology and wildlife management and advised students on their undergraduate thesis projects. My experiences in research and education have trained to work with students from many different educational levels and communicate with them effectively. From personal experience as a student and science educator, I believe that learning, especially in the biological sciences, should be based on gaining a deep understanding of processes. I enjoy working with small groups, and tutoring allows me to work closely with students to develop their abilities and tailor my method to each individual.
I am a biologist with experience in ecology, zoology and botany. My background is in research, where I have focused in plant and mammal ecology. In the last couple of years, I studied seed dispersal by bats in tropical forests and their effect on germination and seedling survival. I have also worked in the field of ecological restoration and marine sciences.
Spanish is my first language since I am originally from Cuba. I also lived in Mexico for several years, where I obtained a Master's degree. During that time, I also taught classes at the university and worked as the lead editor of a science outreach blog. Through these experiences teaching and editing outreach and scientific texts, I was able to develop excellent written and verbal communication skills, and I can help you improve yours as well.
My diverse experiences will make your learning experience interesting, fun and productive. Contact me with any additional questions about how I can help you improve your abilities in these subjects.

I am a recent Ph.D. graduate in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Santa Barbara. Before that I got my undergraduate degrees in mechanical engineering as well as applied mathematics with a minor in physics from the University of Nevada, Reno.
I have many years of tutoring and teaching experience. I was employed by my undergraduate university as a tutor for 4 years where I tutored all levels of undergraduate math, everything from basic algebra to multivariable calculus and differential equations. During that time I also tutored students in entry level physics and engineering. I was a favorite of many of the regular students who came into the tutoring center, and I was the tutor the other tutors fell back on if they couldn't help a student with a particular problem. During my graduate program I was employed as a teaching assistant for many quarters where I ran labs, held office hours, directed discussion groups and more.
I enjoy tutoring, it feels great to help someone overcome an obstacle they have been struggling with. It's a very rewarding experience to see their sense of joy and satisfaction when it finally clicks for them and to know that I am responsible for that sense of joy is a very satisfying feeling.

Hi! I’m Seren. I have been teaching and tutoring for nearly twenty years, both in the U.S. and abroad. I taught English as a Foreign Language in Madrid, Spain, to students of all levels and ages, and later I tutored academic writing and test prep to elementary and high school students in the U.S. For the last thirteen years, I lived in Hong Kong where I taught both associate degree and high school students English, literature, and writing – everything from persuasive essays to literary analysis to short stories. I also helped students with personal statements for university applications.
I’ve always loved reading and writing, which is why I focused on English literature in my undergraduate years at UC Berkeley, where I earned a bachelor’s degree in English. Later, I earned a Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing from Goddard College. I also have a Post Graduate Teaching Certificate from the University of Sunderland in the UK.
Though I enjoy classroom teaching, I really love getting to work one-on-one with a student or in small groups. My focus is on meeting a student where they’re at with an assignment—whether it’s the very beginning or near the end—and guiding and supporting them through the next steps, whether it’s planning or proofreading, identifying and making use of text evidence, or preparing for an exam. In all things, my main goal is to help my students achieve their very best.

I have a diverse and unique educational background. I started my college career as a business major in 2018 and ended up as an electrical engineering major at the University of California Santa Barbara. Throughout my journey, I've learned a lot. Mainly how to overcome adversity because I had many low points before I found STEM. I failed multiple classes and didn't know what to do with my life. Once I found math and science I realized I found my calling. I'm proud to say I earned a 3.9 GPA in all of my engineering prep work at Santa Barbara City College, including the entire math and physics sequences and multiple computer science, general education, and other sciences. I also earned the Math Student of the Year award at SBCC for the 2022-2023 school year, which I feel like I deserved based on my performance and what I gave back to the math community at SBCC.
I have been a drop-in tutor at the SBCC Math Lab for two years and going on my third. Since I finished my last math class before my last year at SBCC, I have been able to tutor up to differential equations for over a year now. I've only tutored college-level students so far, however, I made my own website to try and become a private tutor for any and all ages as well as any math class up to my knowledge (Website link down below). I prefer to meet students halfway and relate to them more because that enables the student to open up more, which is hard when getting tutored. I also always make sure the student understands before we move on and absolutely not do their homework for them.

Hello VC Students and professionals, Let me share what you can expect when working with me, along with some information about my education, experience, skills, and hobbies.
Whether you’re coming to me to help with VC work, professional development, or business cases and challenges, I will:
• Chat with you before we start to understand the context and your needs
• Give you a free 30-minute consultation. (You'll also have Wyzant's first lesson good fit guarantee after that.)
• Respect your time and budget with a plan that works for you
• Assist you in developing your way of thinking as we work to accomplish your goal
• Meet you at your level of understanding
My experience:
I have a Master's of Business Management (MBA) from top 25 University and then was admitted into the crown-jewel of the program: the University Venture Capital Fund. There I had the rare opportunity and privilege to direct the fund and teach MBAs. I’ve also worked at a top-decile VC firm on their fourth fund.
I have experience in multiple roles working and consulting for tech startups, incubators, accelerators, and an investment bank.
I've also tutored ACT prep. I now consistently score 35 or 34 on the ACT. Most importantly, every one of my ACT students improved their test scores! I'm determined to keep that record strong.
For Fun:
Just for fun, my hobbies: I take time to learn and meditate every day, and I spend my weekends in the arts or playing sports at the beach.
Finally, a hot tip! Here’s what I’ve noticed after tutoring hundreds of students and consulting for dozens of clients. No matter who you choose to work with, do this: Strive to understand the highest level context first! That alone unlocks new opportunities.
I'm excited to hear your questions. Feel free to reach out!
Thank You,
Reina

I have a B.A. in English from SUNY, University at Buffalo, as well as an M.A. in English from the University of Rochester and a Ph.D. in English from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
I've been studying English language, literature, writing and public speaking for most of my life!

Having taught college courses in both literature and writing composition, I am well equipped to help you to read and write at the college level and beyond.
The importance of good reading and writing skills extends well beyond English classrooms. Regardless of your future career path, you'll have to read and write effectively in order to succeed and excel.

I am an experienced tutor having owned and operated a learning center for 10 years and tutored students privately now for 4 years. I enjoy teaching and am now working as a Special Education Assistant at a local elementary school helping students with special needs acquire an education. I have experience and skill teaching all ages and all grades up to and including preparing students for college entrance exams (SAT/ACT).
Here is what one Mom said about my tutoring services:
"Jeff started working with my 15 year old son in August of 2009. During this time, Jeff has displayed a genuine sensitivity to my son’s particular learning challenges as well as our family dynamics. He steadfastly remains calm and supportive in the face of some demanding situations.
It’s a pleasure to watch Jeff when he teaches. His voice is soft as he guides my son through the learning process. You can hear the gentle dialectic begin as my son begins to feel confident in his ideas. I think my son has learned more from Jeff these last eight months than he has in his ten years of schooling. Any parent would be extremely fortunate to have Jeff as part of their educational support network."

I have been teaching Spanish both privately and in a K-12 setting for over 10 years. After finishing the Teacher Education Program at UCSB, I taught Spanish as well as Spanish for Native Speakers for 3 years at a local high school, and then another 4 years at a private 7-12 school. My students learn through real life experiences and simulations. I can create similar situations for individual students or I can help with homework, conversation, reading, etc. I have tutored students up to level 4 IB and have a lot of experience teaching Spanish 1 and 2. I'm familiar with the high school curriculums and how to help a student through a class.
Before becoming a teacher, I spent 3 years working in both Costa Rica and Mexico. Most of that time was in Mexico and that is where most of my Spanish language experience comes from. I also studied abroad in Spain so I have a wide range of regional experience in the language.
I have both teaching and tutoring experience, and have spent a lot of time abroad living in Spanish speaking countries. I am patient, non-judgmental, relaxed, and I come with a wealth of teaching materials from my years teaching and traveling that I use to enhance the experience.

Hi there! My name is Laura, I am a recent grad from UCSB, and I am here for all of your math needs! After graduating from UCSB, I took on a position as a Math Intervention Teacher at a high school. My job as Math Intervention Teacher was to provide students with help in the following high school math courses: Integrated I, II, and III (synonymous with Algebra 1 and 2, and geometry as well as a little bit of pre-calculus).
I helped students who were failing their classes pass with at least a C or better. It was my job to have an understanding of the material to the point where I could relay this information to students in a manner that made it easy to grasp. I love math, and love getting students see that it is not that scary after all!
I was a Math Intervention Tutor for eight months before starting a job for a tech company. I have private tutored for 7 years and have have tutored some students for almost 6+ years (6th grade to 12th grade math)

If you want help with some proven strategies to improve your overall understanding in a wide range of subjects I might be of some assistance.
From growing up and attending South Orange County Public Schools, to finishing Saddleback Junior College coursework to enrolling and finally getting the opportunity to graduate from the University of California at Santa Barbara, I've learned to love the process and the power of learning.
A while back I had a very rewarding opportunity to help manage and grow a humble tutoring center in Santa Barbara in the afternoons and evenings, while working the morning shift as a Teacher's Aide position at Cold Spring Elementary School.
Through those great experiences I was lucky to meet lots of wonderful families who really cared about and appreciated the overall quality of instruction I was able to provide their children.
I was inspired to continue my passion of teaching new students whenever possible. I have never met an animal that could beat me in chess or a student that could convince me they were incapable of learning new concepts. No child deserves to be bored. I offer my services to help you become a more effective student, a more meaningful human being, and a happier You. It can all start with a meet and greet. Have a good day.

I have been tutoring mathematics since I was in high school. Over almost two decades of experience in education, I've refined my methods of demonstrating mathematical concepts and connections to real life experiences. In alignment with the new common core standards, I've tutored mathematics to students in elementary, junior, and high school. What makes me a great tutor is my background in mathematics coupled with a welcoming and very patient personality. I work hard to make sure my students feel comfortable to ask questions, let me know when they are not understanding, and to make it clear that even I don't know all the answers so they I invite them to find my mistakes and witness how I think through problems and arrive at answers. My goal for my students is to help them develop the skills they will need to become stronger learners, especially perseverance and patience in the process of working through tasks.

I'm Doug! I recently got my master's degree from Princeton Seminary not too long ago and I love teaching! I particularly enjoy history and the humanities and making the material come to life for students. I do my best to adapt the material to the particular student so that they can engage and interact with their learning process. Lastly, I think the best learning happens when students feel like they can be themselves, so my top priority as a teacher is to create an atmosphere of safety, acceptance, and fun. I am a passionate individual who would love to teach your child.
I have experience teaching elementary and middle school classrooms at a history museum and providing individual childcare for students with special needs as well. Most of my experience is in various church contexts, where I worked with everyone from toddlers to high schoolers for the previous six years. Most of my lessons focus on presenting the material in relevant and meaningful ways.
I want to benefit the students I work with as much as possible, so I welcome any resources or suggestions students or parents can provide. I am easy to reach and will always provide fast responses. Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!
