My area of expertise is math (basic arithmetic to pre-calculus); however, I have tutored in English (grammar and writing), Computer science (Word, Works, Windows OS, and other general computer problems), as well as other subjects. In addition, I also have 15 years of experience working with after school programs both as a tutor and as a recreational instructor.

As someone who has zero experience with the German language he definitely provided the firm foundation I needed to confidently continue my studies alone. I have no doubt when the time comes for more lessons I will revert back to Henry.
Er ist ein sehr guter Lehrer!

About Kendra M.
Close
My journey with Writing began at age 14; my pencil always searching for more paper to create, to format, to make a time come alive.
Now, at age 25, I have published a 338 page book of poetry, one-act plays, and opinionated essays. I am currently in the works of editing my second book. The second book is a nine-part long form prose poem.
I am a graduate of Pepperdine University with a Theatre Arts degree.
About Kendra
Hello! My name is Kendra. I am a professional actress, a published author, a singer-songwriter, and a performance artist. I graduated from Pepperdine University with a degree in Theatre Arts (Acting) in 2015. I recently moved to Denver, CO from Los Angeles, CA with the intent of focusing on my songwriting career. I began theatrical training at the ripe age of 4, and immediately took to the stage. Auditioning became second nature for me, and I started booking roles and drawing the attention of local agents around age 8. The summers of my childhood were spent flying from my home of Houston, TX to Los Angeles, CA to study with the industry's top teachers. My love for acting continued to grow. I studied the intricacies of film and learned how to control my emotional recall. I learned how to light up the stage with my body language and how I c
arried my voice. At Pepperdine University, I focused on classical theatre, clowning, improvisation, and directing. My senior year, I was the assistant director for the Play: Doubt, A Parable. In November of 2017, I published my first book, "The Politics of". I am currently in the process of writing my second novel, working on my debut album, and becoming a part of the Denver poetry scene.

About Ashley
Hi, I’m Ashley! I’ve been doing this tutoring thing for a while now (2 years), and I’ve been writing for even longer (10+ years). I sometimes joke that writing is the only thing I’m good at, but that’s not true at all– I’m pretty good at teaching, too. Then again, I am about to graduate with a B.A in English (with a concentration in Writing & Publication, naturally), so maybe the knack for teaching comes with the territory.
Anyway, I’ve had my own writing showcased in 4 different publications (both academic and creative). I’ve also presented my writing at conventions in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Louisville, and Fairfax. For the last 4 years I’ve worked as a part-time library assistant, where I taught computer training classes to adults and seniors in between helping with the teen program and shelving tons of books. I’ve also been a colleg

About Maddy
Hi there!
My name is Maddy. I'm from California, but I've spent the past few years since I turned 18 to study and move around the world. I've picked up some skills along the way that I would love to share with you!
I have a great amount of experience teaching and working with people. I have been teaching music since I was in high school and working as a writing tutor since I started college. I have worked extensively as a nanny, babysitter, camp counselor, and university student advisor, so I have a lot of experience coaching and inspiring kids from three years old to 23!

s - everything from literature to politics to business to philosophy, and beyond! I was trained extensively for this position over the course of months by two English writing professors.
I am an independent musician and singer-songwriter, performing, recording, writing, and sharing music since I was in middle school. I have booked shows in San Francisco, held successful crowdfunding campaigns, recorded in a studio, built social media platforms, and, of course, written many songs. With a great deal of experience teaching music (which I grew up around because my parents own a music school), I love to help others develop their songwriting and kick-start their music careers.
I am both organized and creative, structured and encouraging. While I have a natural tendency and understanding of constructing clean, clear writing, I also value imagination, innovation, and fun over all and hope to teach you structures and methods that can guide you, giving you the opportunity to develop your own voice and style without the frustration of not knowing where to start writing, or how to continue.
More than anything, I love being able to share my passions with others, and encourage people to reach their full creative potential! I really believe we can all write (whether academically or creatively) and create, and I am here to support you along the way and provide you with the necessary tools to overcome that writer's block and other frustrations to achieve the final product you can be proud of!
I am so excited to work with you!

About Vivek V.
Close
As a writing tutor in college and an avid writer myself, I have experience tutoring students with works ranging from college essays and applications to speeches and scientific papers. I also regularly tutor elementary to high school level students in the various stages of writing from essay types to persuasive writing to research papers.
About Vivek
I am a graduate from the University of Rochester with a B.S in Neuroscience and the former president of a student run global health non-profit. My passion for teaching was founded by my own experience as a student. Throughout my academic career, the challenges I encountered refined my own approach to understanding subjects, and the ensuing success after overcoming such obstacles brought me further love for learning and those subjects. I want to transmit that feeling of accomplishment to students as they master their own subjects, and hopefully foster a passion for further learning and success in any of their other endeavors. As a top student in both high school, and scholarship recipient in college, I know the effort and dedication required to be successful, and the impact a good teacher and support system can have on a student.
Having
Having
served as a tutor for speech and writing in college, I enjoy and thrive in tutoring English, Literature, Writing, Communication and Debate. I have honed my writing abilities and understanding to help many students on writing college application essays, even tailored for particular schools. As a neuroscience student, having taken numerous science courses in a university setting and performed well in them, I understand many of the common difficulties students face when grappling with the concepts and problems presented to them. I have used my own experience as a teaching instructor for the Department of Biology to hone my teaching abilities and help students master formerly challenging material. Ultimately, the skills I acquired throughout this process of teaching and learning have improved my own understanding and grasp on the sciences, and I pass on these acquired traits to my students as I instruct them in the various sciences.
For many students, standardized tests are the biggest challenges to obtaining college admission, earning scholarships, or placing into selective programs. As someone who self-taught and experimented his way through taking these exams and scoring well, I take students through the whole approach to exams like the SAT by breaking down each section to manageable parts and finding the most efficient and easy ways to answer questions. Through helping students individually leverage their strengths and destroy weaknesses in facing these exams, I am confident that they will have conquered yet another obstacle on the path to their goals.
I look forward to hearing from you. All the best!
