"I aspire to one day be a pediatrician. I want to not only provide help to children in need, but serve as an example to my community. During my undergraduate experience, I tutored Physics and Calculus both during summer sessions and during the academic year. I have tutored in groups and individually. I have previous experience tutoring various levels of different sciences, math and Spanish. I think learning should always be fun and enjoyable! When it comes to tutoring, I always try to engage the student in the problem as much as possible by presenting the subject matter in various different ways." ...

"My experiences have been uniformly positive and I've found that any student, no matter their previous experience or abilities, is eager to learn and to do well. I believe that it is the role of the teacher to harness these natural energies and put them to good use by making the material more relatable to the student and their own interests. This will only be accomplished if the teacher is both patient and understanding. Besides my interest in math and science my other interests include Latin, French, computer programming, basketball, and Go.." ...

" When I am not busy with school or leisure, I will be helping you or your child grasp a difficult subject or improve a test score. I encourage my students to talk me through their thought process when tackling a problem, so that I can pinpoint exactly what is preventing them from arriving at the right solution. While getting the right answer is important in life, and especially on tests, my time at MIT and NYU Poly has taught me that fostering the analytical thinking skills required to arrive at the answer yourself are much more valuable life skills. On account of my background in engineering and the life sciences, my areas of expertise run the ...

" Back in college, I served as a teaching assistant and tutor for a Microbiology honors course for Biology majors, as well as an Introductory Biology/Life Science course for students fulfilling their General Science credits. My time spent as a TA included lecture style teaching and overseeing laboratory sessions for a 20-30 student class, as well as small group and one-on-one tutoring sessions. Next year, I will begin my residency training in Internal Medicine and Neurology, and I am hoping to stay in New York and work at either Cornell, Mount Sinai, or my home institution of NYU. I am experienced and very capable in helping students out ...

"I want the student to be able to teach their way through solving a problem so they can apply the fundamentals in other places. Working with students one-on-one is great because I get a chance to see what they’re curious and passionate about, and how they personally value the subjects in which they are struggling. A student's motivation is sparked by a connection to their goals and interests, and the confidence that comes with approaching a subject from that inspired perspective leads to real success. I love seeing those breakthrough moments, and I’m proud of being able to help students improve in a wide range of subjects.." ...

"Other specialized subjects I have experience tutoring are Modern Greek, having lived in Greece for a portion of my life, and English reading and writing and speech as a second language. In terms of teaching methods and style, each tutor has their own unique approach to establishing a productive and cooperative relationship with their student, to best assist them in their academic work, identify their short comings or points of weakness, and guide them toward improvement. Along with standard teaching practices, I believe strongly in communication, and allowing the student to show me how he best interacts with the material, and what ...
