I am more passionate about the latter, and within the humanities I am most passionate about philosophy and English. The most important thing I've learned from those two fields (and the thing I'd most want to pass on to students) is how to find the right words for thoughts - this is important, not ju...

Tam

ACT Math Tutor • +46 Subjects

I am a chemist, graduated from the University of the Sciences - USci - in 2011, currently working at a gas analyzer manufacturer. Born and raised in Vietnam, I came to the U.S. in 2004 and completed my high school and college degrees here. I have experience tutoring and instructing chemistry laboratory to undergraduate students during my years at USci. I am currently tutoring several high school students in various subjects, and science is always my strong area.Being grateful to my parents for their continuous support for my education, I believe that education is the only way to advance in life. Education does not only include the accumulation of knowledge but also the application of what you have learned and the attitude associated with your application. Everything has to come in a package.I enjoy tutoring, particularly tutoring teenagers. When I was 12 or so, I had a tutor, or exactly, a mentor. She not only tutored me but also inspired me to grow to be a useful person in life. I am thankful to have had my tutor-mentor-best friend with me through my rebellious years. Therefore, now, I would love to guide students to go through their period of try-to-find-my-way and also inspire them to reach higher education and become useful members in the society.

Nayaab

ACT English Tutor • +34 Subjects

Knowledge is imperative for not only personal, but also social and economic growth. As a tutor, I would like to disseminate this knowledge and teach students the valuable skills needed to independently obtain knowledge, create concepts, and build new ideas on those fundamental concepts. I graduated as a University Scholar and pre-med student from New York University with a major in Psychology and minors in Physics, Molecular and Cell Biology, and Chemistry. Having excelled in Psychology and its research, I am a member of the International Honor Society in Psychology; hence, I am well qualified to teach this subject. Because I am passionate about reading and writing, both creatively and academically, I have excelled in the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and MCAT and have often tutored peers facing difficulties in these areas. Although I struggled with Physics in high school, I approached it differently at NYU, was extremely intrigued by it, and decided to pursue a minor in it.This is the same kind of change I would like to bring about in my students through effective communication and personalized learning styles. There is no universal way to study, and understanding how a student learns new a concept is imperative to obtaining success in any field. I have taught young children, high school students, and college students topics like algebra, dance, and health education. Each age group positively responds to a different style of teaching, motivation, and communication; being adaptable and open to these changes is my forte. My teaching style often revolves around developing self-motivation, planning schedules, and understanding students' short-term and long-term goals. Because I recently graduated, I understand the stress students have managing their busy schedules, extracurricular activities, and studying for standardized exams, all while maintaining a solid GPA. Being flexible, compassionate, and patient is very important when teaching and I believe that an amalgamation of these traits, my teaching experience, and subject knowledge make me a well-rounded and effective tutor.

Kathryn

Elementary School English Tutor • +10 Subjects

As a certified teacher with 20 plus years of teaching experience, I consider myself a lifelong learner. I began my academic career shortly after graduating from high school and received my Associate in Science degree in Court Reporting Technology in 1992. After working with the Civil and Criminal court systems in Miami. I quickly knew I wanted more growth in my college academics and began diligently pursuing my calling to teach! I continued at Miami Dade College and upgraded my AS degree to an Associate in Arts degree, graduating in 1998. This would open the doors to getting into Florida Atlantic University. At FAU, I worked on my undergraduate degree in Psychology, and graduated in 2004. While attending classes at FAU, I taught in the classrooms with the public-school systems. With much faith, perseverance, and a steadfast attitude, I continued to pursue my calling to teach, I became a certified teacher, and attended graduate school! I am a successful graduate of the Inaugural class with a Master of Science in Curriculum & Instruction with a specialization in Early and Middle Childhood Education, from the Adrian Dominican School of Education at Barry University. I proudly graduated Suma Cum Laude in 2013 from Barry University. I stayed teaching in the Public School system for approximately 10 + years. I left with the desire to experience different academic arenas, which I have successfully accomplished as a classroom teacher. I now have knowledge and have taught with the charter school systems, private schools, and religious schools from grades Pre-K- 8th since 2000.However, with the Pandemic, I began tutoring/teaching with a company until presently via zoom and in person. This experience would lead me to create and run my own tutoring business where I teach students from Pre-K to 8th grade via zoom and in person in Reading, Writing, and Mathematics. I also have the opportunity to teach ESOL adults who are looking to learn English.My most successful experience as a teacher/tutor was from my student in Elementary Math. I tutored her afterschool when she was in elementary school and struggling in Math. Today she is a married mom of two and herself an Elementary school Math teacher! She lovingly reminds me that her success began with me believing in her and challenging her to blossom successfully to who she is today! Until her teen years I guided, mentored, tutored, and taught her to achieve the success she has today!I also have distinguished awards in 2002 from FAU called the Broward Achievement Award awarded for student leadership as a role model to students and the community. I was also awarded a Certificate of Achievement from Florida Atlantic University in 2002 Awarded for demonstrating distinguished excellence in personal and professional endeavors, as well as dedication and commitment to helping others. More recently I received "Most Valuable Teacher" award from Avant Garde Academy in 2020.I conclude by informing you how humbled and grateful I am for my calling to teach! I look forward to lovingly challenge my students to reach their maximum learning potential while watching them blossom in their areas of struggle.

Raian

Algebra Tutor • +12 Subjects

Hi! I am an alumnus of the Bronx High School of Science and a rising sophomore at Macaulay Honors at Baruch College. I first started to tutor when I was in middle school. I assisted elementary school students that were either relatives or family friends. I continued my passion for teaching in high school, guiding many students through a variety of standardized tests from Kindergarten to 8th grade including the Gifted and Talented examination and the Common Core ELA and Math assessments. When I became a upperclassman, I began tutoring students at a private tutoring company for Regents exams primarily in math subjects and for the SHSAT exam. Finally, I became a manager with a goal of increasing student performance by ensuring that all classes at the tutoring center were accurately and efficiently being taught.

Gene

ACT English Tutor • +25 Subjects

Through 6th-12th grade, I had a very capable tutor that could answer all my questions, explain concepts in clear ways that I could understand, and work at my own pace. Because of him, I was able to excel at high school math and received perfect scores on my AP tests. After I finished my own ACT testing, I was able to ACT tutor some of my peers through junior and senior year of high school. I found it extremely satisfying to help them understand unfamiliar material and raise their test scores. Because of these two experiences in my life, I am very interested in tutoring and believe that I can help others the way my tutor once helped me.I am capable of tutoring ACT material, Algebra, and Psychology; I have prior experience tutoring for the ACT, I have a strong foundation of algebra given to me by my own tutor, and I am very passionate about psychology; all reasons that compel me to want to tutor others. I find it very satisfying to teach someone something they don't understand for their own benefit, and I am very fortunate to be able to tutor through this service. Although interacting with someone online or meeting in person could be inefficient or awkward, I am committed to giving students the most comfortable tutoring experience possible and helping them learn as much as possible in the shortest amount of time; my goal for my students is to equip them with better skills and more expansive knowledge than they came to me with, and I will achieve this goal through my own teaching methodology and charisma.I am currently a freshman studying Psychology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I hope to enroll in the College of Business this summer and also earn a degree in Finance. I would like to one day be an investment banker, own a hedge fund, or practice as a psychologist at my own clinic. In high school I was a part of Feminists' Club, volunteering at a local youth group, and the Boys Swimming and Diving JV Team, which I was captain for my senior year. At college I am involved in a social fraternity, a selective junior investment banking and consulting program, and volunteering at my local Boys and Girls Club. In my free time, I enjoy lifting weights, swimming, reading nonfiction and self improvement/motivational books, cooking, thrift shopping, and traveling, among other things.Thank you for taking the time to read my personal statement, and have a great day!
