"In addition while a calculus student in high school, I had the privilege of tutoring a few students in pre-calculus and Algebra and absolutely loved it! These students all ended the class with A's. On another note, as a future teacher myself, I hope to implement more effective teaching methods. As a student I struggled with the dull lecturing that most classes provided, so I would love to use more visual and handson techniques to explain the curriculum. In addition, I am very animated and friendly so I'm easy to trust and be comfortable around. In my free time, I love watching movies, shopping and reading." ...

" I've taught for Kaplan Test Prep (no relation, though my name is Kaplan) and I've designed my own prep courses that draw from a wide variety of methods and teaching styles.
Whether tutoring for a specific test, or teaching a subject more generally, I work with students to find a method of preparation and learning that works for them.
Besides tutoring and education, I'm interested in music, hiking--both interests that I pursued in Brazil, where I lived for three years.
I look forward to hearing from you!."

"I personalize my tutoring sessions by listening to what students want help with, gauging their needs based on their writing or language ability, and understanding their teachers’ (or exams’) expectations. When I tutor, I enjoy being able to teach students as I assist them with their writing and language. My goal is not just to help students edit their work, but rather to give them the tools to improve their current piece of writing and their writing in the future, their overall language fluency, and their critical understanding of the subject more broadly. I aim to help students succeed in the classroom and on their continued path through ...

"With this advanced degree, I hope to start a career as a curator at a museum. In the next few years, I would like to start learning German and possibly continue my Russian language study.

"I have worked with eighth-graders preparing for private school entrance exams, have taught Algebra in public school, and I currently teach philosophy at a New Jersey community college. I enjoy helping my students learn to solve problems on their own, think for themselves, and learn the strategies to excel at standardized tests.

" The feeling of success is shared by both the tutor and the student because I work as a teacher, a mentor, a cheerleader and a partner with my students. As an Art teacher or Classroom teacher, I taught children from Kindergarten through 6th grade and then went on to work with Middle School Students in NYC tutoring subject matter and test preparation. I feel honored to be able to work with students one-on-one to develop a real rapport with each one. My students learn well because I can put them at ease. My specialty is in Reading Comprehension and Creative Writing for young learners and Test prep and Writing for older learners. I realize that my ...
