Hi! I’m Alister, an engineering student at Stanford University. I tutor math (grade K-12), physics & chemistry (high school), and language arts (grade K-8). I have four years of experience and love working with students to solidify understanding—once students truly grasp concepts, I find they start to really enjoy the subject. My tutoring style is flexible based on the students’ need.

I have 21 years experience teaching in excellent public schools. I have also tutored extensively in English grammar and writing. Students have told me that they enjoy my teaching style. I get a great deal of satisfaction in working with students trying to achieve verbal and written mastery of English.

As a current English Teacher with 12+ years of tutoring experience, all 6-12 material is still quite relevant and fresh in my mind. I have worked with a variety of ages, from sixth grade all the way to seniors in high school. I get to know each student individually as well as get to know their personal goals. I will provide quick, concise responses for those in a hurry, and slow, methodic teaching for those looking to understand the material on a deeper level. I welcome parent feedback and will alter my methods based on parental goals as well.

I have years of school and church classroom experience with elementary age students teaching various subjects from science to bible to music. I am particularly fond of math, history, and grammar. I also have over 12 years of homeschool experience with my own children at the elementary and middle school levels, including a child with dyslexia and other special needs. Despite coming from poverty, I developed a love for books and learning on my own and excelled across disciplines in school, winning awards for English, science, and math. I graduated with degrees from UCLA and Stanford. I hope to instill a love of learning and sense of achie...

As a tutor, I approach each task or assignment differently. Every student has a unique writers voice, through varying characteristics, background, and interests. I prioritize maintaining this personal voice and writing style while offering my advice and assistance. A typical lesson plan would begin by understanding the students concerns about their assignment, wants, and needs from the session. Once I've been able to assess the needs of the student, I would be able to begin offering assistance on the task at hand. My primary method to strong writing is beginning with a clear and supportive outline. From there, constructing the rest of the ess...

I am highly experienced- 11 years classroom teacher!

I am a soon to be 20 year old student at Boston University. As a screenwriting major and English minor, I have an adoration for both learning and teaching writing, particularly to lower/middle school students. From my work being chosen for BU's "Palimpsest", an online publication that highlights outstanding undergraduate writing", and my position on the Dean's list, my affinity for language is one that translates to success. My passion for writing started at a young age, so I would love to help foster that kind of passion in your child....
