" Knowledge comes from my diverse educational background in a wide variety of fields such as computer science, law, ESL, and general test taking skills. I have devoted years of study to each of these fields and I bring this to my students. Patience comes from my naturally calm demeanor, and my strong desire to help my students understand the materials in front of them. It also comes from knowing that everyone learns at their own pace, and that everyone can learn any concept, if given the proper opportunity. Reliability reflects my ability to let my students know they can count on me to help them advance in their studies. It also reflects my ...

"Prior to teaching, I practiced criminal law for several years. While law school prepared me well for drafting legal documents and writing complicated briefs, it did not provide me with a career for which I had passion. Serving as a prosecutor in the Bronx County District Attorney's Office, I saw first hand the tragic results of our city's failing educational system. I saw the widening achievement gap and I became passionate about closing it."

"My never ending interest in science led me to pursue a degree in Molecular Biology at Princeton with a premedical science focus. I am currently working as a Research Assistant at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. While my greatest passion is the sciences, from a very young age I have been a very avid reader and have enjoyed writing. I particularly enjoy the grammatical aspects of writing and would be a great asset to a student who is looking to improve their writing skills or is seeking help with college essays. My previous teaching experiences include a summer job serving as a Teacher Assistant at The Boys and Girls Club with children ...

"In the years following, I've turned to tutoring and lecturing, while completing my own studies. I received a scholastic award for my tutoring work, focusing on college essays and writing skills. My teaching style focuses on breaking down complex information to basic steps, and guiding my students to build a map towards our end goal. I always keep the student in mind, as each person is different, and each student has a unique combination of skills that helps that person learn. This way, we won't just conquer the material at hand, we'll build a pathway for future study and work." ...

"I can tutor in a variety of subjects, including all sections of the SAT and ACT. My goal as a tutor is to simplify seemingly difficult topics and concepts so that a student is no longer intimidated by them.

"A desire to learn the material (a desire to survive the course or test will do) 2. A teacher who is creative enough to understand how the student thinks, and can adapt lessons into the student's "own language" accordingly IF YOU BRING THE FORMER, I’LL BRING THE LATTER. My previous tutoring experience has taught me one thing above all else: everybody learns differently, and effective teachers are the ones who can adapt. This is what I do for all my students. A little more about me: I have recently relocated to the Upper West Side after completing my M.S." ...

" As an elementary teacher, I understand how important it is for students to get that individual attention that they may not always get in the classroom (despite their teacher's best intentions). In classrooms these days, it is easy for a child to slip back and not reach their fullest potential--not with me! I am fully dedicated to make sure that each of my students reaches their highest potential, no matter where they stand academically. Through my teaching experience, I have had the chance to teach a diverse group of students including those challenged by autism, learning disabilities, noncompliant behavior, as well as children who ...
