I received my Bachelor's degree in Economics, summa cum laude, from Hunter College, and my J.D. from Harvard Law School. At Hunter College, I studied economics, mathematics and philosophy and earned a 4.0 in all math courses (I completed math courses up to multi-variable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra) and in graduate school my studies focused on business, finance, and corporate law. I also received a graduate level certificate in Advanced Calculus with Financial Engineering Applications from Baruch College's esteemed Financial Mathematics department and I am CFA candidate. The subjects I tutor are math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus), statistics, finance, economics, SAT Math and LSAT prep.I believe that classroom instruction is not always the most effective pedagogical approach for all students, and that 1-on-1 instruction can be tremendously helpful in overcoming obstacles and developing stronger learning and test-taking techniques.I enjoy this work because I find the subjects interesting and enjoy helping students succeed at something and develop confidence. My professional interests include economics, finance, value investing, venture investing, derivatives trading, and commercial real estate. In addition to my academic and professional interests, I enjoy art, film, poker, technology, muay thai kickboxing and basketball.

I am excited to help you build up your confidence as a person and as a student through tutoring! I believe that everyone is capable of growing as a learner and becoming even better at what you are already capable of. I like to help students develop their skills in reading, writing and history. I enjoy working with kids of all ages and have particular experience working with elementary school aged students with a variety of skills and needs. I know that you are capable of learning and becoming the person you want to be and I will help you do it!

Welcome! My name is Rachel Sanderson-Graff and I am a high school History, English as a New Language (ENL), and AP Psychology teacher in New York City. I received my Master's in Secondary Social Studies and ENL Education from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, one of the top education programs in the country. Before entering education over 6 years ago, I previously worked in marketing and also spent time working as a private English tutor for both Spanish- and French-speaking families and I volunteered as a literacy tutor at elementary schools.My goal as a teacher and a tutor is to ensure I create an experience that best fits each student's needs and interests. Every person is different, therefore, the way they learn must be different as well. I tailor the education experience to every student I work with in order to best support their academic growth as well as their social-emotional growth. After having worked with a student, I hope I've not only helped them meet the content and skill objectives, but I hope I've instilled a deeper love of learning in them as well.As your potential tutor, I will create an experience that works for you so you meet your goals. I look forward to working with you!

I have a BA in economics from Pomona College with minors in mathematics and music. After college, I was a non-degree, special student at Harvard University for two years where I retook several economics and mathematics classes through the Research Scholar Initiative to better prepare myself for graduate school. I've since been working on my master's degree in economics at Michigan State University. Throughout college and graduate school, I tutored elementary school children in English, math, and music, a middle school student in algebra, high school students in personal finance, and college students in microeconomics and macroeconomics. I am most passionate when tutoring students in mathematics because, regardless of your field of study, math has a funny way of popping up in whatever you do. As someone who has been the worst and best student in many classes, I understand that low performing students are NOT dumb or lazy and that a stellar tutor can make a big difference. In my free time, I like to sing in my church choir and exercise.

I love learning and I especially love the challenge of learning new things and pushing myself to be a better person. Coupled with my love of learning has always been a deep regard for teaching.While a student at Hamilton College, I was selected by professor recommendation to work as a tutor at the Quantitative Literacy Center, a job I held for three years. At Hamilton I practiced the ability to listen to my tutee, and then to assist my tutee in breaking down complex logical problems into simpler, manageable parts. A teacher must first and foremost have mastery of the subject material. A tutor must both understand the subject material, and understand the manner in which students fail to comprehend that same material. I pride myself on my ability to listen and understand what aspect of a concept is difficult for a student, even when the student cannot clearly articulate her own problem.In addition to my experience at Hamilton, I spent a summer teaching science to 4th and 5th graders with Exploration Summer Programs and a Summer teaching chemistry to 8th graders with Breakthrough Collaborative. In both of these programs I developed my own curriculum and planned all of the lessons. I learned how to explain concepts in an engaging and clear manner to a wide age range of students.While my traditional experience focused on the sciences, I am an avid reader and musician and am fully capable of tutoring a wide variety of subjects. As of late, I have been reading a lot of "Johns": Irving, Steinbeck, and Green.My other passion is music. I love singing and playing the guitar, cello, and piano.

I was born and raised in southeast China, where it has four seasons and plenty of rain. My love for language and creative writing came at a very early age. By the time I graduated from high school, I had won four first prizes in four city-wide writing competitions. In 2007, I went on to study Chinese language and literature at Beijing Language and Culture University, where I won another first prize in the university-wide playwright competition. Following my graduation in 2011, I spent a gap year honing my creative writing skills in my second language, English. In 2012, I was accepted by the creative writing -- poetry program at New York University with a full-ride tuition scholarship. In the following two years, I studied English poetry writing with Sharon Olds, Charles Simic, Yusef Komunyakaa etc, and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts in 2014. While I was developing a bilingual writer's career and having my work published in different magazines, I was also passionate about the nonprofit and development world. I had amazing internship and volunteering experience at United Nations Population Fund, Asia Society, the Metropolitan Museum of Arts etc., strengthening my editing, communications, marketing, PR and administrative skills. I have also founded the translation business Transwords Translations LLC (transwords.net), and have completed numerous translation projects between English and Chinese for Asia Society, Museum of Chinese in America, Pen America etc. As a dedicated language learner and advocate for cross-cultural communications, I am excited to use my bilingual language learning and writing experience to help others overcome their language learning and interpersonal communication barriers to advance their academic and professional goals. I currently live in Atlanta, working on a nonfiction book about my experience growing up in China. I appreciate the seasonal rain in southeast America.

As a 4th year undergraduate student at Stony Brook University, I understand how difficult school can be. I have gone through my share of trail and error in how to study. I also understand that not every method of studying works for everyone and some subjects require different methods of studying. But in all cases, perseverance is necessary to succeed. I have been a teacher's assistant for general and organic chemistry. I have also tutored for molecular biology and basic statistics. Throughout my time, I have learned that students are smarter than they believe. Most of the time, students just need clarification, patience, and encouragement.A little about myself: I am a pre-med student with a major in Health Science and a concentration in Public Health. My end goal is to one day work for the World Health Organization, traveling the world and helping to prevent epidemics such as Ebola and malaria. But in the mean time, I focus much of my time tutoring, so I can help others achieve the academic success that I have had.

I love seeing students succeed and gain the confidence they need to succeed in future classes. I have helped hundreds of students at a college-level for Biology and Chemistry.

I have obtained Master degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Massachusetts and Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from University of Texas. I have extensive background and experiences in several fields including Mathematics, Physics and Engineering.I am interested in sharing my knowledge with students, in helping them understand the subject and solving problems. I believe a good tutor can provide guidance, leading students through a thought process in solving problems. A good tutor will motivate the student to think and propose his or her own solutions and develop independent learning.

I have always loved school and learning. As a younger student, I felt like I was awful at math and reading didn't come easily to me. I had a wonderful teacher and tutor who helped me grow into my full potential, and it turned out I was actually great at math and reading, it was my lack of confidence that held me back.As a tutor, my goal is to help my students grow more confident in their skills and knowledge. I do this by guiding students to the correct answers on problems rather than telling them what to do or what the answer is right away. I believe that students learn best when the teacher is a guide and thus my teaching philosophy relies on guiding the students in the right direction by asking them questions that explore the content.I have just completed a master's in teaching, elementary education. I am passionate about teaching and my favorite subjects to tutor are English and mathematics of any level.Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, knitting, movement, and spending time with friends.
