Private Tutor/Homeschool Teacher With 10+ Years Of K-12 Experience!

Responds within a few hours

Matthew here, a Northwestern/NYU graduate with 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring all across the education spectrum! I've worked with students of all ages: some preparing for the SAT, ACT, LSAT, and some just looking to boost their grades. I'm fresh off a year homeschooling a family of 3 elementary-aged students, and I'm looking to build my client base! With an average score increase of 3 points on the ACT and 150 points on the SAT, I have a proven track record of success when it comes to helping students get the scores they want - in fact, I've had students get perfect scores on individual sections! Let's do this!

I don't even know where to start! We used Matthew for about 8 months to prep for the ACT. I was personally dreading listening weekly to my teenage son complain about weekly tutoring sessions but during session 1, I could believe my ears. I heard LAUGHTER! Matthew is smart, engaging, and very much knows how to teach kids to keep them interested. Not only did my son's ACT scores go up, the lessons he learned from Matthew spilled over into his schoolwork. The phrase "Matthew showed me" was used daily! As a parent he is so easy to talk to, super fast to respond. I could give him 100 stars, we feel very lucky to have found him!

Part Time English Language Acquisition (ELA) And English For Speakers Of Other Language

(6)
I am a skilled ELA and ESOL Tutor. For many years I have been teaching students of varying ages and levels to use and appreciate the English language by learning to read, write, think, speak and communicate with greater confidence and clarity. I am well experienced in developing and implementing successful programs with customized lesson plans designed to meet each student's individual goals, needs, and interests. Using my extensive Performing Arts training, I combine traditional teaching techniques and structured worksheets with looser, more improvisational and intuitive exercises which I use to: sharpen a student's focus and attention, deepen the integration and assimilation of newly learned materials with mastered concepts, and bring sheer fun and learning enjoyment to our sessions together. I love my work. I am dedicated to supporting each student's ability to work toward his or her fullest potential, and I will bring the materials we need to accomplish this.

Ellie is an excellent tutor. She quickly figured out what style of tutoring would engage my 13-year old son. She is helping him with his writing, grammar, punctuation and penmanship. Ellie goes above and beyond to find worksheets and books that will help my son to catch up in English. She has also helped my son with Science & Social Studies assignments. I am so happy we found her!

Early Childhood Educator/Special Educator 1:1

(2)
I'm very interested in offering my services as an experienced 1:1 ECE Educator. My hope is to assist families to fully integrate their child's current level of growth and development with the goals and objectives each family sees as their child's important next step. Parents are their children's first educators. Research proves that, "Birth to Three" (and beyond in EChE) years are the most formative in our personal growth AND future potential. As infants and toddlers naturally absorb information through the senses. I feel so privileged and excited when I participate in the exchange. As they observe, the cause and effect of their actions and others, "If I do this then it does that", and much more, their personalities grow and reveal themselves. Be brave and take your child's growth and development into a new age of learning. It's an an honor to walk this path with a child and their family.

I can help a student navigate math expectations and assist in any other assignments. I can help students view the teacher as advocate.

Martha has provided Spanish Language tutoring to our children for almost two years. They are in a Spanish immersion curriculum so the tutoring is advanced and targeted. Over time, Martha has focused on vocabulary, grammar, reading fluency, homework support and even playing fun games. She builds a good rapport with kids and challenges them appropriately. I would recommend Martha without reservation.
