I am an experienced tutor who has worked with elementary to college level students. I also spent a lot of time teaching and training NAVY personnel how to operate submarines and aircraft carriers in a one on one format. Through my experience I have gained a deeper understanding of how to adapt my teaching style to fit a student's individual needs. I enjoy helping students of all ages and learning levels, and I like to see the pride they take in completing difficult tasks. When I'm not working you can usually find me hanging out with my two dogs and some friends, playing sports, or relaxing at the movie theater. Subjects I currently tutor are algebra, trigonometry, geometry, elementary and middle school math, homework support, history, and science.

I have tutored formally since 7th grade, when I organized and ran a peer tutoring organization at my school. As a result of this two-year project, I was named a 2006 Distinguished Finalist for the Prudential Spirit of Community Award. I attended an early college high school program (the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science) and volunteered in a local middle school, where I worked with struggling students one-on-one. I then transferred to Texas A&M University, where I earned a B.S. in Psychology (with a minor in Neuroscience) in 2013. During college, I tutored several Psychology and Neuroscience courses. After graduating from Texas A&M, I began a graduate program in Neuroscience at the University of Texas at Austin. While in this program, I volunteered in several reverse-inclusion courses for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which renewed my interest both in teaching and in working with individuals with special needs.I am excited to work with all students, particularly those with special needs (including G/T). Please contact me with any questions you may have, and I look forward to working with you and/or your child!

I am a graduate of Carnegie Mellon University with a B.A. in Ethics, History and Public Policy. Additionally, I attended American University and received a Masters of Public Administration, with studies focused on Social Policy and Non-Profit Management/Leadership.I have tutored children and youth for over 10 years, grades 3 12, working primarily with "at-risk" students in danger of failing classes and/or not graduating from high school.My students have come from structured after school programs, community based organizations/church referrals and word-of-mouth. I assist young people in study skills/organizational skills, homework completion, understanding subject matter, college application processes/college essay development/entrance exam preparation, and career exploration. English, Reading, Writing, and History/Government/Civics are my primary tutoring subjects; however, I have tutored elementary students in all major subjects and provided one-on-one tutoring for High school AP course preparation.My passion stems from the desire to help students achieve their educational and personal goals. I believe that every child has the ability to learn and acquire knowledge for themselves. My professional life, spanning the non-profit and private sectors, has allowed me to support initiatives to improve public education at a national grassroots level and to help communities understand localized high school graduation requirements. In my spare time I volunteer with various local organizations focused on performing arts, youth development, academic achievement, job readiness and civic engagement.

I graduated from University of Connecticut in May 2015. I majored in biology on the pre-med track and minored in human rights. I have been teaching the sciences, humanities, and organizational study skills for eight years as a private tutor. At UConn, I was an administrative assistant at the Homer Babbidge Library and organized payroll for upwards for 300 students. I also volunteered at the Willimantic AIDS clinic and was a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars. I was awarded the greek life academic achievement award during my time at UConn. I began tutoring while I was in high school as a volunteer for the Bridgeport School Volunteer Association. At 15, my first student was a 4th grade girl who was about to repeat the fourth grade for the third time. Through my time with her, she was able to progress to the 7th grade and is now in high school. In the past three years, I have become more specialized in tutoring for science standard exams and frequently tutor in AP Biology, AP Chemistry, SAT II Biology, and SAT II Chemistry. However, I also have students that I tutor in all subjects ranging from all ages ranging from middle school to college. I feel my students succeed when they are motivated, organized, and engaged in the material.I support my students by creating study schedules, finding new and creative ways to explain materials or supplement their current understanding, and providing one-on-one support personalized to the students' needs. I find joy in de-stressing students by creating a workable, organized plan to address their concerns. I have worked with a range of students with different needs. From students with learning and developmental disabilities to honors and AP-track students, I am able to personalize my tutoring sessions to cater to any student. I am currently applying to medical school for the 2017 cycle. In my free time, I love to volunteer as an EMT, hike with my dogs, and see live music.

I am currently a sophomore at Columbia University in the City of New York. I am pursuing a degree in Earth and Environmental Engineering with a concentration in Sustainability and Energy, and I am minoring in East Asian Studies (specifically, Japanese). After graduation, I plan on working in the renewable energy sector in either the United States or Japan.From September 2014 through July 2015, I worked as a tutoring specialist for a company. I tutored students ranging in age from 13 to 50, in various subjects such as calculus and chemistry. While I enjoy tutoring students in all of the subjects I specialize in, I love tutoring students in physics (specifically, mechanics and waves). Physics is my favorite subject to tutor because while it is more difficult to demonstrate phenomena from other subjects such as organic chemistry, physics is a very prevalent science, so even by rolling my pencil off of a table, I can easily demonstrate physics concepts to my students.For me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula for integration by parts, I first show them how it is derived so they acquire a good grasp of how it operates.Outside of school, I really enjoy being involved with music. I love singing, playing the drums, piano, and guitar. My favorite genre of music is rock, so playing rock songs with a band has always been one of my favorite things to do.

I graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Physics. While in high school, I attended math competitions across the country including one at Princeton University and another at New York University. My love for mathematics eventually led to virtual tutoring through Florida Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems on their own.

Nothing gives me greater satisfaction than seeing the look on a student's face when he/she has just grasped a difficult concept.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with Bachelors in Electrical Engineering in 2013. I’ve also received Department Honors for Academic Excellence in Mathematics from the Chairman of the Math Department. I’ve attained many other accolades that I am truly thankful for.Teaching has always been my one true passion. I have over seven years of tutoring experience, in the US and overseas. So, my multilingual and multicultural background helps me cross such barriers and connect with students better. Due to my vast experience, I’ve developed sophisticated communication techniques and understanding of students’ psychology that helps me pinpoint and help overcome the academic weaknesses with swift precision.I think it’s more important to lead students to the answer rather than simply delivering it. This instills the logic behind the answer and the process, and helps them think independently and analytically. Where appropriate, I employ the Suzuki method and have found that to be very effective.I mostly tutor math, reading, and writing courses. I am very experienced with test preparation subjects such as SSAT/SAT and ACT. Please see my profile for a full list of subjects.In my leisure, I like to dabble in music. I’ve studied Music Theory in my early years, and I play multiple musical instruments, including the piano. Music still remains a creative outlet for me.I also strongly believe in giving back to society and setting a good example, so I actively partake in philanthropic endeavors. Currently, I serve as a Board Member of the United Nations Association in Miami.

I am a recent high honors graduate from the University of Texas at Austin with a BA in International Relations and Global Studies. I have a general knowledge of most of the world, however my focuses include Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.I know about both history around the world and current events! To supplement these area studies, I studied Mandarin Chinese every semester during my four years of undergraduate studies, along with one year of intensive Arabic, and received excellent grades in all of my language courses. Specifically, I have studied and worked for a brief period in China, where I also lived with a Chinese roommate, and which provided me with invaluable cultural and linguistic knowledge and practice. I also speak Spanish and have ESL tutoring experience with a native Spanish speaker.This student was struggling in his high school courses and falling behind because he didn't understand what was being asked of him in many of his classes, and at the same time, he was wanting to prepare for the SAT. We worked together to figure out what his teachers were trying to convey during his class time (in various subjects, from math to history) and what exactly he was being asked to prepare and complete for various tests, homework, and projects. I used minimal Spanish, only when it was necessary, and I believe that this truly pushed him to learn out of his comfort zone, and he eventually became much more comfortable and confident being surrounding by English, in addition to being able to better understand what was being asked of him in his classes. Once we reached this point, he was better equipped to prepare for the SAT (reading & writing sections), which we did using practice material that he had purchased and brought to our sessions. We worked through some problems together so that I could help him understand the nature of the types of questions that are often asked in such standardized testing, and then he worked on these questions independently, asking questions when he ran into serious confusions or was unable to understand specific material.While I currently only have experience tutoring a Spanish-speaking ESL student, I would also love the opportunity to tutor any foreign-language speaking ESL students! I love studying languages and any opportunity to interact in different languages! In addition to the subjects surrounding my major, I also have a minor-level background in Linguistics.Not only do I offer ESL tutoring, but I also after tutoring for students who would like to start learning Mandarin, Arabic, or Spanish! I am likely to go about this tutoring in ways that are similar to they ways that I began learning, and continued to learn, each language in school because these methods have proven effective in my experience. I have learned that covering reading, writing, and speech evenly is highly important when maximizing your linguistic abilities in another language, and so I intend to practice each aspect with my students. Each language is very different, and therefore requires different approaches in its teaching method. Additionally, some students move more quickly through languages than others, and so I am open to tailoring language tutoring to and individual student's needs.Moreover, as a Liberal Arts major, I developed strong reading and writing skills, along with important analytical skills. I am confident in my ability to help others improve their reading, writing, and analytical skills. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I personally excelled in all of my courses that involved reading and writing. I have an excellent command of the English language, abundant experience peer-editing students writing, and knowledge about a variety of citation formats, such as MLA, Chicago, and APA.I also understand the importance of tailoring edits and feedback to each individual writer based on their level of ability, reasonable goals, and the purpose, or focus, of each specific piece of writing. In addition to general reading and writing improvement, I am also able to assist students in preparing for specific testing formats. Concerning standardized testing, specifically the reading and writing portions of the PSAT and SAT, I have personal experience taking and succeeding in these. Therefore, I understand the preparations that are required to do well on such tests, and I am confident in my ability to teach my students the skills that it takes to be successful.Lastly, I would like to say that I love learning and helping others learn! I don't know you yet, but I am already excited about the prospect of getting to teach you! I understand that each student is different, and so I am flexible and adaptable to all levels of ability and goals.

I have been working as a tutor and educator for over 8 years. I graduated from UC Berkeley's department of English, where I majored in English and American Literature and minored in Creative Writing. Currently, I work as a Teaching Assistant and graduate instructor for college-level rhetoric and composition classes, as well as university-level senior thesis and literature seminars. I also work with everyone from ESL students to students with multiple languages to elementary-aged students just learning to read and write for the first time. And although it may sound silly, I get really excited about reading, writing, researching, and editing, and even more so, I look forward to working with students! I'm available to help, instruct, and work collaboratively with anyone looking for the additional guidance, practice, or instruction needed to achieve their personal goals.
