Norbert is a passionate lifelong learner who finds immense joy in teaching. His appreciation for mentoring began early in life. As a 6th grader, he was selected for a scholarship preparation program that provided him with crucial tutoring, enabling him to secure a scholarship for quality high school education. As a high school junior, Norbert returned as a volunteer tutor for that same program. This experience ignited his passion for teaching and mentoring, which he has continued to cultivate while advancing in his own journey.
As a tutor, Norbert emphasizes the same empathetic and adaptive approach that worked so well for him as a student. He has witnessed time and time again that both student and teacher evolve with each interaction. With that in mind, he embraces every opportunity to share in the learning. “True mastery comes when you are able to help others learn what you know.”
Norbert’s background in Neuroscience, Physics, and Python Web Development provides a breadth of knowledge to pull from, allowing him to support students across a wide range of subjects and grade levels. “There is no greater reward than witnessing that moment of clarity when a student finally grasps a challenging concept.” In his free time, he enjoys learning new things, reading non-fiction, playing video games, walking through nature, and relaxing with his loved ones.
Qualifications:
- Tutoring experience in math, science, and more with students in elementary school through college (2006 – Present)

Outside of teaching, Danika is an avid outdoors enthusiast and a creative soul. She loves everything from soccer and skiing to playing piano, throwing pottery, and woodworking. Whether she’s out in nature with her dog or deep into a great novel, she brings a sense of curiosity and joy to everything she does.

Gilly has been teaching since first grade, when she lined up her dolls to teach them what she’d learned in school that day. After a brief detour into law, she returned to her true passion: teaching middle school. “There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a student’s eyes light up when they suddenly grasp something that once felt impossible.” Around the same time, she began tutoring college students for the LSAT and discovered the joys of one-on-one teaching.
Since 2007, Gilly has worked with students of all ages—from kindergarten through adulthood—on everything from test prep to organizational skills. With science-loving students who struggle to write, she co-creates magazines on topics they’re passionate about, using the feature article format to help them engage an imagined reader. For math-anxious students, she weaves concepts into stories that make abstract ideas feel relevant and social. “When I observe a student closely—how they think, where their understanding breaks down, even how they move their eyes across a text—I can push them further. Not just to master the material, but to understand themselves as learners.”
Outside of tutoring, Gilly is a voracious reader of literature, history, biology, and just about everything else. She finds inspiration in museums, galleries, and the natural world—and her delight in learning is contagious.
Qualifications:
- Tutoring from kindergarten through college level (since 2007) and teaching at the middle school level in all core subjects (since 2002)
- M.S.Ed. from Bank Street College of Education
- J.D. with honors from Harvard Law School
- B.A. summa cum laude in History and Journalism from Indiana University

Rory’s creative background and spirit of curiosity have always guided them personally and professionally. Their work as a teacher’s aide in college planted a seed that has grown into a meaningful career path, nurtured by experiences working with children and editing friends’ essays. Rory began tutoring professionally in 2020, and has expanded and honed their skills in the years since, working with clients from elementary to university levels in ELA, ESL, and a range of study skills. “Tutoring is deeply rewarding for me. My favorite part of my work is seeing a student’s confusion transform into clarity.”
Rory finds the Pacific Northwest — particularly our closeness to forests, water, and mountains — to be a calming influence that complements their interactions with students. They recognize that every student is unique; what helps one may hinder another, and an individualized, adaptable approach is key. Rory has a passion for working with students who are neurodiverse or facing anxiety. Informed and supported by their own lived experience of neurodiversity, they bring warmth and empathy to every meeting. “It is important to build a foundation of trust so students’ confidence in themselves increases — that is an essential ingredient for success.”
Rory views challenges as opportunities for holistic support, encouraging students’ growth. By modeling a love of learning and dedication to caring for ourselves and others, Rory inspires healthy habits for students in academic life and beyond.

Daniel graduated from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo in 2014 with a B.A. in English and Spanish Minor. He began his career in education the same year, finding a role as a high school English teacher at The Privett Academy on Mercer Island, WA. Since then, he has expanded his subject areas to include Math and Spanish, now with a decade of experience assisting both advanced students as well as those struggling with neurodivergence (ADHD, Dyslexia, Dysgraphia).
“Real learning occurs in an environment that balances hard work and joy. If you can laugh with a student from time to time, they’re usually more willing to dedicate their time and energy to things that challenge them. Just as there is value in self-discipline, there is also value in being a goofball— I like to create an atmosphere that encourages both.”
In his free time, Daniel participates in the Seattle music scene as a guitarist/drummer, and as an avid rock-climber, you can often find him at the local bouldering gym. He also does digital/web design projects for small businesses in his area.
Qualifications:
- Teaching and tutoring with an emphasis on high school English, Math & Spanish (2014-present)

Her subject specialty is in reading comprehension and writing — she can assist with narrative, argument, or expository essay writing, research papers, application essays, and more! She is also an expert in the new Digital SAT, the new ACT, and AP Language and Literature.
She is a big reader, traveler, and a lifelong dancer. She’s the happiest reading a good book on a train or building Legos at home.

Gianna is dedicated to helping young learners thrive. Growing up with two siblings on the autism spectrum inspired her to explore which strategies best support learning and development. That curiosity set her on a rewarding path of educational and clinical training, with a focus on youth facing academic and behavior challenges.
Her experiences have shown her how unique each learning journey is—which is why she has developed a compassionate, adaptable approach that centers every student’s strengths and goals. “I believe in every learner’s ability to succeed with the right tools and support.”
From designing educational interventions as an honors thesis student at Harvard to teaching in Spanish public schools as a Fulbright Scholar, Gianna has supported student growth with both dedication and care. Now pursuing a PhD in School Psychology at the University of Washington, she integrates research and practice into her tutoring.
Outside of academics, Gianna enjoys dance, live music, cooking, traveling, and spending time outdoors. She brings the same creativity and energy she finds in those pursuits into her work with youth: “Across every setting, the common thread I’ve discovered is that cultivating trust and engagement is the foundation for meaningful progress. It’s incredibly gratifying to see learners build confidence, celebrate their effort, and grow over time.”

Juliet recently relocated to Seattle after living in the United Kingdom and France for several years. As a student, she was fortunate to learn from inspiring educators who helped shape her curiosity and motivation to learn. “My amazing teachers have shown me just how important education is, and what a joy it can be when one really begins taking pleasure in learning.” This perspective has shaped her own teaching approach – calm, patient, and focused on making learning enjoyable. She adapts to different learning styles and encourages curiosity.
Juliet has tutored students of various ages and academic levels. She began in high school, helping peers with French and Spanish, and later mentored a student with learning difficulties through the French organization, Afev. She also worked for a company called Ringle, tutoring children and adults in English, and served as a teaching assistant at Columbia University, leading osteology labs, discussion sections and grading assignments and exams. Since then, she has continued tutoring through platforms like Varsity Tutors and Anacours, in addition to private sessions.
Outside of teaching, Juliet is passionate about paleoanthropology. She understands that students have interests and passions of their own and enjoys tailoring lessons to include student interests whenever possible, making learning more engaging and personal.

Noah has always been a curious learner. Growing up in Seattle’s public schools, he was the kindergartener disappointed to learn there was no homework and the second grader correcting a teacher on how to spell “giraffe.” That same enthusiasm carried him through a B.S. in Physics at the University of Washington and a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biophysics at the University of Denver, where he spent six years teaching physics, astronomy, and math to students from diverse backgrounds.
As a tutor, Noah emphasizes patience and empathy. He wants students to see difficult subjects not as barriers but as puzzles worth exploring. At the University of Denver, students consistently praised his calm, approachable teaching style and his ability to demystify complex concepts.
While STEM is his specialty, Noah believes in meeting students where they are. He looks for ways to connect science with a student’s passions—whether that’s history, language, or the arts—so learning feels both relevant and exciting.
Outside the classroom, Noah volunteers at Seattle food banks, plays card games, and is a familiar face in local book clubs, where he enjoys bringing unexpected titles to the table.
Qualifications:
- Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biophysics, University of Denver
- B.S. in Physics with Math minor, University of Washington
- Six years teaching STEM at the undergraduate and graduate level

In Claire’s sessions, mentor and student collaborate to balance personal and academic goals, strengthen skillsets, and develop self-confidence, all while honoring student wellbeing and values.
After moving to Seattle at nineteen, Claire started at community college and later transferred to the University of Washington, where she earned her B.A. in history.

Andreas (or Andy, for short!) has spent nearly a decade helping students see the beauty and logic in math. With a master’s degree in mathematics and years of teaching university classes, he understands what students need most: confidence, patience, and a supportive mentor. Andy specializes in building strong relationships with students, empowering them to explore ideas and develop lasting problem-solving habits. “The moment a student gets confused in class, they tend to get left behind. I meet them where they are and guide them back up to speed.”
Drawing on his background as both a geometer and an illustrator, Andy helps students visualize complex ideas, giving them a clear place to start with any problem. “Every problem starts with a picture. If you can see the puzzle pieces, you can figure out where they go.”
That same creative eye carries into his life outside of tutoring. Andy runs a pottery studio with friends, where he makes planters, vases, and kitchenware featuring intricate underglaze designs. He also works with oil paints, markers, and pastels to capture the emotions of everyday life on canvas.
Qualifications:
- Master of Science in Mathematics, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (2025)
- Bachelor of Science with Honors in Mathematics, University of Washington, Seattle (2020)
- Associate’s Degree in Mathematics and Physics, Edmonds College (2018)

Khadijatou’s passion for education stems from her belief that every student can thrive with the right support. Through roles as a peer mentor, tutor, and Teaching Assistant, she developed a student-centered approach that emphasizes building confidence alongside subject mastery. Working with students experiencing academic anxiety has reinforced the importance of creating a supportive environment where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities. “I believe the best learning happens when students feel seen, supported, and empowered to take intellectual risks.”
With over two years of teaching and tutoring experience, Khadijatou has worked with middle and high school students in both one-on-one and small group settings. As a Teaching Assistant at NYU, she led recitations and provided targeted feedback, helping students strengthen their problem-solving and computational thinking skills—tools she believes serve them well in any subject.
Khadijatou specializes in tutoring math from middle school through high school, including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Precalculus, Calculus, Probability and Statistics, as well as Computer Science.
Outside of work, she enjoys reading novels (genre-agnostic), baking, and making tea. She brings calm, supportive energy to every tutoring session.

Emily Church is an incoming medical student at the University of Washington School of Medicine and a neuroscience-trained researcher who helps students become efficient, confident learners.
She has tutored and coached students 1:1 since high school, supporting middle school through college learners across STEM, writing, and standardized tests. With years of tutoring and academic coaching experience, Emily teaches students how to handle high volumes of material without burning out—by using the same strategies she relies on in science and medicine: active recall, spaced repetition, and targeted practice. “Most students don’t need to work harder,” she tells students. “They need a plan that makes their effort count.”
Emily’s tutoring style is “diagnostic.” She listens for what’s actually getting in the way—missing foundations, a stubborn misconception, or the pressure of timed tests—then builds a clear, repeatable plan. Students learn to shift from passive rereading to high-yield habits like practice questions, active-recall flashcards, and spaced review, using mistakes as feedback rather than setbacks. “If you can retrieve it on demand,” Emily says, “you can use it on an exam—because that’s what exams are testing.” She also emphasizes sustainability and self-care so students can stay consistent: “My goal is for you to leave each session knowing exactly what to do next.”
A former NCAA varsity basketball player and team captain at Pomona College, Emily also supports student-athletes with time management and recruiting guidance—especially for high-academic programs (SCIAC, NESCAC, Patriot League, Ivy League).
Emily is experienced with neurodivergent learners (ADHD, anxiety, learning differences) and brings a calm, structured, strengths-based style to every session.
Qualifications:
- Experience: 5+ years of 1:1 tutoring and academic coaching (grades 6–college), including grade improvement, confidence-building, and test prep (PSAT/SAT/ACT/MCAT); math through AP Calculus AB/BC; Honors/AP Biology, Chemistry, and Physics; college-level STEM (General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Neuroscience); writing and humanities
- Education: M.D. student (University of Washington School of Medicine, 2026 matriculant); advanced neuroscience training (NIH PREP, University of Pennsylvania); B.A. Neuroscience, Pomona College
- Credentials: Adult & Pediatric First Aid/CPR/AED Certified
