...I am currently conducting breast cancer research as the lab manager in an immunology lab at Columbia University Medical Center. I am extremely comfortable with physics and mathematics (from my studies) as well as biology, chemistry, and biochemistry (through my research experience) and sincerely enjoy tutoring students in those areas. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized tests. While I was studying for the SAT, ACT, and MCAT, all of my preparation was through self-study; as...

Hello! I am a graduate student at Columbia University, working towards Masters degrees in Public Health and Social Work. I am a graduate of Brandeis University with Bachelor's degrees in Anthropology and Environmental Science. I have been teaching students ages 9 and up for approximately 8 years, and I would love to help you reach your academic potential! My favorite subjects to tutor are reading comprehension, environmental science, and essay-writing.

Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.

...upcoming chemistry exam or SAT. I took the ACT myself, and understand how important it is to master standardized testing for one's own benefit and also for college applications. I know how stressful it can be - I went through it myself! Proper tutoring can help a student gain not only improved skills in the classroom but a better sense of their own preferred learning methods. Whether it is with real-life examples or countless practice...

...from elementary mathematics to linear algebra, where I have demonstrated mastery and proficiency. Simultaneously, I worked at Mathnasium, instructing K-12 students. On average, I taught approximately twenty students daily and fostered strong relationships with them. As a tutor, I firmly believe in recognizing individual learning curves and making dedicated efforts to adapt and innovate teaching methods to ensure a thorough comprehension of the material. During my time at Mathnasium, I had the opportunity to work...

...engaging for students with different levels of interest. The students that I have tutored have particularly enjoyed certain hands-on activities that have helped them gain a deeper understanding of the material, such as engaging with virtual simulations that illustrate important physical concepts and coding an interactive game that requires user input. I understand that different students learn differently and require different types of encouragement and support, and I would personalize my lessons to meet each...

...curriculum, have greatly enhanced my ability to tutor students who may be struggling with these topics. As a middle school student, I found Mathematics difficult and overwhelming. However, an eight-grade algebra teacher fueled my passion for the subject by making it fun, interesting, and easy to understand. As a tutor, I feel that it is my obligation to transfer that passion to each of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, discovering new...

...business (www.swacia.com) and a faculty member of Westchester Community College in New York. Japanese government funded me in 2017 to make a Japanese textbook, "Japanese in 30 Weeks Romaji Course". With this textbook I will show you the most powerful tool to reproduce inflections of other 10,000 Japanese verbs automatically and correctly. It is the standard Japanese, as spoken in Tokyo, which is understood by anybody in Japan. This is our exclusive and quickest method...

...a tutor who helped me reach my full potential and absolutely rock the test. Since then, I have not been intimidated by any exam in University or beyond, including the LSAT. I know I can instill this same confidence in other students by slowly highlighting insight into testing methodologies. By the end of our prep, your student will be able to use the strategies on any academic study in his or her future.

...and I have an all-A track record in difficult science classes including Chemistry, Biology, Organic Chemistry, Physical Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Genetics. I also have a history of success on standardized tests, which I attribute to various test-taking strategies that I teach when helping students prepare for these exams. I have worked as a trained Peer Tutor at the Sweetland Center for Writing, led a study group at the Science Learning Center, and tutored independently in...

...as biology and chemistry (as well as advanced biology classes) and graduate school-level courses (especially for medical students), but with a variety of other subjects in which I have significant experience. I take great enjoyment from helping students at all levels meet (and often exceed!) their goals. Generally, I apply the principles that worked for me as a student - as well as for past students I've tutored - in order to give my students...

...the tech startup space. I've enjoyed tutoring for many years, including editing essays, papers, and articles, and tutoring students in subjects such as physics, chemistry, math, English, and writing skills. I've also enjoyed helping students prepare for the college or grad school application process. As the recipient of tutoring myself as a high school student, I know firsthand the value that dedicated, passionate, and informed tutors can bring to students. I consider much of my...

...Case Western Reserve University with a BS degree in physics. I am currently working toward obtaining a PhD in physics. I have a passion for understanding the laws of nature, and for helping interested students do the same. I have experience tutoring math and physics at the high school and college level. I particularly enjoy teaching AP/college level mechanics and electricity & magnetism material due to its fundamental importance in so many real world applications....

...College. I have tutored several of my peers in the past on coursework ranging from logic to math and political thought. I enjoy tutoring public speaking and writing most, though I also tutor AP Government, SAT, and the ACT. I tend to explain a problem/concept before having a student tackle it. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TED videos, and cooking without recipes. I look forward to working with you!

...about making sure the student feels empowered. Often, I'll ask students to stop for a second and walk me through what they are thinking in order to teach me about how they are approaching the problem. It's important to me that a student feels that the tutoring relationship is a two way street, as they already have lectures and lessons. I believe that as a tutor I am there to help guide them through the...

...ground up, was key to mastery. I wasn't fond of rote memorization and applying formulae. Instead, I was interested in the patterns that were involved. Why was there a formula for quadratic, cubic, and quartic equations but not quintic equations? I was curious. I found my Wikipedia. There I read about Galois Theory and how Galois proved there to be no quintic formula. Of course, I had not the slightest clue about group theory, ring...

...to climate change. I've always had a passion for teaching, and currently teach pre-college math with Columbia University's Community Impact program, for non-traditional adult learners. Before coming to New York I apprenticed in the Ohio Public Schools, and worked in outdoor education. I'm driven by the spark of realization I get to see on my students' faces when a new concept snaps into place, and I'm excited about demystifying math and highlighting how it's at...

...when language is a barrier. I was an ESL student myself in elementary school, so I understand the importance of patience and how that can shape a student's learning experience. Some children I taught math to were involved in their learning and assessed their knowledge through fun 'game' based exercises. I was able to observe the academic gains from children working collaboratively in groups. The most rewarding thing was to see everyone develop and continue...

...school, college, and the college application process to the next generation of students. I have a passion for math and science, and I want to share my excitement about these topics with others.
