David Newman
Berkeley, CA

UC Berkeley graduate tutor (test prep, writing, history, and more)

I graduated with honors from UC Berkeley with a BA in history. For the major, I took classes from some of the best professors in the country and received straight A's. Furthermore, the major required me to complete a 50-page thesis totally original to the historical literature. Thus I have countless hours of experience completing archival research and I fully understand how to compose a fully cited research essay. I can help students craft a strong thesis statement and create a compelling essay that fully proves their argument at a collegiate level. Moreover, not only do I understand the bones of a good history essay but I am skilled at teaching students what I know. By tutoring a wide variety of subjects, grades, and skill levels for TutorMe these last couple of years I’ve gained an extremely versatile skill set that will enable me to meet the challenges of whomever I’m lucky enough to assist. This versatility was crucial for succeeding at TutorMe not only due to the diversity of clients but also due to the structure of the site. Regularly scheduled lessons with students whom I developed delightful relationships with have been an essential part of my job. However, of the over 200 students I’ve tutored, the majority were random students whom I was assigned to assist with homework over the course of an hour-long session. As a result, I’ve been able to thrive as an educator because I have grown skilled at calmly assessing the angles to new problems and then compassionately breaking them down to students whom I had no previous rapport with. Furthermore, because TutorMe is an online tutoring platform, I developed a mastery of establishing clarity and an authoritative presence virtually. Thus, I can convey subtle ideas through interactive whiteboards and textual communication while maintaining an endearing patience.

Suyá Synergy
San Francisco, CA

Multi-instrumentalist, Multimedia Producer, Touring Artist from BAHIA!

Hello there! I am head over heels about music. Been deeply in love with this beautiful form of self expression since a very young age. I've always enjoyed making music out of words and melodies I heard throughout the day, and still do; I hear music all over the place, in every circumstance I'm a part of. I like nostalgia, feel-good vibes, and relaxation. I like to play with how the waveforms hit the body. Since we are mostly made out of water, and water responds to vibrations(physically and energy wise) so easily, I like and want to make music that resonates with people and makes them feel themselves in a special sort of way. I like to call it Music for Cure, connecting people with themselves therefore generating connections between the different selves. A sense of uniqueness and belonging all at once. Genre wise, I don't feel like I fit specifically in a single one or a couple, but have an influence of diverse genres in a synergetic embrace. Everyone has a creative stance, and there are many ways of manifesting these creations. When I hear music at a live concert or when I am making a playlist( I have over 170 unique playlists, it is a dear hobby of mine), I have a tendency to primarily recognize the intentions and sentiments performed in the song other than technicality and instrumental proficiency. The primary contact to music occurs within the body( vibrations in our bodies of water, remember?), therefore it is a feeling, an energy. I use this to recognize prospective musical gems. Uniting my love for music, healthy amount of attention to detail, desire to collaborate and see people develop their talents, while I develop my own skills… It all sounds like a good deal. And that is how I take on empowering youth and giving them a hand in recognizing their own skills, disintegrating all self-judgement and encouraging positive developmental behavior as well as a chance to believe and succeed!
