Hi, my name is Polly and I am a recent graduate in Biology/Chemistry, magna cum laude at CUNY. I am entering my 1L year in the fall.

...from the Master of Letters program in Creative Writing from the University of Glasgow. In New York City, I still find that some are most impressed by my diploma from Stuyvesant High School. Recently, I tutored a few students for a SAT preparation program and came to enjoy it, especially in a smaller setting where the lessons can be catered to the individual needs of the student. For an English major, I'm very data driven,...

...in different ways such as visually, kinetically, auditorily, and other ways. I am committed to finding the best way to help my student learn the material even if it means going above and beyond the call of duty. Personally, I am a Psychology and Gender Studies double major graduating in May 2017. After that, I will be attending a masters program in mental health counseling and eventually going on to get my doctorate in clinical psychology....

...I found it. I do this through holding myself to high standards when it comes to kindness and helping others. I invite others to grow with me as I use the knowledge and skills I picked up in my studies, and during my experience as an educator. I have experience as a head classroom teacher, an assistant teacher and a tutor. My formal professional experience has been in grades one through high school, both in...

...the same: the ability to think, to express, and to comprehend. Reading critically and writing eloquently are difficult arts, and we're all constantly learning and growing in our abilities as we practice.

Together we can practice and strengthen the skills that the ACT tests...

...to accomplish with each person with whom I work. Every student deserves a tutor who will approach their needs in different and innovative ways. I accomplish this by getting to know my students as classroom entities as well as people. In this way, I can vary my teaching style to suit each student and stay open to adjusting as necessary. I am fluent in French, after spending a year in Paris during college. Because of...

...math skills to AP essay writing and college test prep. While I enjoy tutoring a wide range of subjects, some of my favorites include various levels of test prep (SAT, SSAT, ISEE, HSPT, etc.), college essay editing, AP English Literature and Language, AP U.S. History, and AP Music Theory. While at Dartmouth, I performed in theater and opera productions, sang in several choirs, took ballet and yoga classes, worked as a teaching assistant and stage...

...that I experienced a tradition that values student perspectives and seeks to bring each individual to a conceptual space where (s)he can achieve by objective standards. I also believe very strongly that a teacher's primary obligation is for the safety and welfare of his/her students. This clear sense of my technique, my role, and my responsibility prepares me to help teach literature, critical reading, and essay writing in ways that create clear, safe opportunities for...

I am a recent graduate of Sarah Lawrence College with a love for learning and educating. I have experience working in an academic context with children from ages 5-20. I also have two years of experience working with students with learning disabilities and Autism.

...(I graduated With Honors). From there, I moved on to the State University of New York-Buffalo, where I recently received my Master's degree in English Literature. Throughout these years as a student, I also worked as a professional writer and editor. Additionally, I taught undergraduate writing and research classes while in Buffalo. All of this has given me a wide and diverse skill set that I bring to bear on work with students. Beyond my...

...a permanent and seismic shift in perspective--and most importantly, how they see themselves. While I remind all of my students striving and facilitating personal growth is admirable, I also emphasize that practice, enthusiasm, and dedication can help build the confidence and skills to perform and achieve in the classroom with consistency and joy. I aim to model this for them, as it was modeled for be by the educators in my family and throughout the...

...with students both in group and in individual sessions. My academic background is varied, and thus I am able to tutor students in a range of topics, including Environmental Science, Biology, Psychology, Statistics, French, Russian, English Language and Literature, and exam preparation (SAT, ACT, AP and GRE).

...tests, such as the SAT, ACT, and AP tests, and can give my tutees a feeling of true confidence when they sit down to take those exams. I have found that the biggest obstacle that students face is a lack of self-esteem, and approach my clients with the hope of teaching them self-assurance first, and the subject matter second. I lead my students to an understanding of their classwork by showing them that they have...

...but I am officially undecided as of now. I am currently involved with SAT Prep tutoring for underprivileged high schoolers, as well as a mentoring and homework help program for middle schoolers. Primarily, my expertise is in standardized-test-tutoring, but I am available for other subjects as well. I'm a history buff, so that's always fun for me to tutor. I understand that everybody may not have quite the same passion for these subjects as I...

...to medical school. I'm very passionate about helping students do their best and get the best grades possible. It's unfortunate many students don't feel like their professors or TAs don't actually give help. What I'm hoping to do as a tutor is to mend that gap a bit with a mutually beneficial interaction. I love tutoring most General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and International Relations type work. I have very strong depth and breadth in all these...

...education. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I'm most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I've recently (and successfully) tutored myself in test preparation skills, so I am also very prepared to tutor test-prep. In my experience as a tutor, I have a great track record helping students develop their interest in reading anything! I have a deep belief that education is about practice, and that by practicing anything enough, any student can...

For example, if a young student hates to read novels but loves comic books I will work comic books into their reading time to get them to appreciate reading at all. I am a firm believer in the power of education to transform ones quality of life and open doors to innumerable opportunities. I try to impart this...

...as an organic chemistry lab course in college. From these experiences, I gained skills on how to work with college students and how to specifically tutor them. While my method of tutoring may shift a little among different age groups, my foundation remains the same. My goal is to make students feel confident and capable of completing their tasks. I feel it is my responsibility to make sure my students feel motivated, determined, and well...
