Meet our tutors

“I love helping people find their strength, skills, and confidence,” says Terry L. Terry is a multi-award-winning professor with decades of experience working with students in biological sciences.

“On an individual level, no matter one’s background, a quality education unlocks a world of possibilities,” says research assistant Bodhi L. “I understand every student comes from a different place with different experiences and knowledge, and it is my job to be understanding and committed to the student’s success.”

“Learning their extracurricular activities and using those topics while tutoring any subject is extremely refreshing for the students,” says retired IT professional Sachin K. “Connecting any educational activity or concept to the student’s favorite extracurricular activity tremendously helps in their understanding.”

“A student's success is not a casual matter; I take it personally. It is a great honor for me to help all students reach the highest achievement level of their ability,” says Will K. Will has over a decade of experience teaching high school math and German.

“Most topics, on being introduced, need to be explained outright,” Isaac K. says. “After a topic has been introduced, deeper understanding is best found by a person discovering things for themselves, so I ask a lot of leading questions. Whats, whens, and hows are all good, but whys are best because why-questions drill into the purpose and the mechanics of the thing.”

“In addition to teaching the important concepts, I think a tutor's job is to instill confidence in students,” Christine K says. “I also try to build a relationship with my students by learning their interests and bringing those into the lessons as much as possible.”

Wendy K. is a motivated team player with a strong passion for learning and helping students develop essential skills. Of her lengthy educational career, she says, “I find immense fulfillment in this role and cannot envision pursuing any other career.”

Oly K. is an experienced teacher and tutor, a self-proclaimed lab rat, an artist, a musician, and a lifelong learner. She likes to find new ways to engage people in learning.

"My philosophy is that students often know 'the answers' or what they need to do, but just need to simplify things or look at the problem differently," says Quinn K. "Asking a lot of questions is a great way to do this."
