Meet our tutors

A college economics instructor since 2008, Susan G. embraces a tutoring style that is diagnostic and reflective. “I like to start lessons by asking the student when the material last felt clear and when it started feeling confusing, and then work together to connect the concepts so everything ‘fits’ again,” Susan says.

Bethany G. was a first-generation college applicant, and now, as an admissions consultant, she is diligent and passionate about providing students with direction and insight into college admissions. She specializes in athletic recruiting, performing arts schools, and financial aid for low and middle-income families, providing those students an opportunity to delve into their academic passions, aspirations, motivations, interests.

"I'm a math teacher who is also an actor," says Robert G. "I love poetry and prose as much as I do math and science."

Jamie G. is a disciplined and open tutor who adjusts her approach to student needs. She says, “I center accessibility in my tutoring approach, and I enjoy adapting to different learning styles.”

Ken F. is a biologist with aspirations for medical school. Having tutored since high school, he says, “I am a patient and empathetic tutor and mentor, and I love to see students become more confident solving problems.”

“The best thing a student can do is focus on themselves and not compare their journey to that of others,” says Gina F. In addition to working as an admissions consultant, Gina has also been an assistant dean of undergraduate admission, which has allowed her to become familiar with the process and what makes a student stand out from other applicants.

Gretchen F. knew that she wanted to be a teacher because of how much she revered her own instructors. She says, “I have looked up to every teacher I have ever had, and ever since I can remember, I have wanted students to look up to me that way.”

Zoe F. is an energetic educator who has adapted instruction to students of all ages. She says, “I believe all students learn differently and that the best way to teach them is to uncover their preferred learning styles.”

“Each student has individual talents and abilities, and I use a variety of strategies to enable the student to improve their skills and increase their confidence,” says chemist and seasoned educator Louise F., PhD.
