Leonard

AP Calculus BC Tutor • +59 Subjects

I am a 23-year-old Columbia graduate with a real passion for teaching. I have been a tutor in both professional and volunteer capacities for nearly 10 years and have taught students ranging in age from second and third grade through college. I have classroom teaching experience as well and can adapt to both group and individual settings. I have taught students of all abilities in a wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the reasoning used to reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people not just clients. Most importantly, I believe that being challenging, but also patient and supportive yields the best results. I will always work my hardest to ensure that your student comes away learning the most that he or she can. Hobbies: art, movies, books, reading, music, writing

Rachel

College Algebra Tutor • +35 Subjects

I'm tutoring to ask clarifying questions . I really enjoy taking seemingly difficult topics and explaining them in a logical fashion while emphasizing the basics every step of the way. I find that students' frustration with a concept generally stems from uncertainty regarding how to organize many intersecting ideas. Nothing makes me more proud then watching a student master a formerly daunting topic. Hobbies: books, music, dancing, art, reading, cooking, writing

James

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +55 Subjects

I am a graduate of SUNY University at Albany. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics and Japanese with a minor in History in 2010. Since then (and even before as a sub) I have predominantly been teaching in the New York City public education system. I had worked as a substitute teaching assistant since 2008, moving between dozens of NYC public schools before finally settling in late 2011 at M.S. 216 George J. Ryan--an incredibly diverse middle school in Queens. During my tenure in the school system I have spent time teaching students from Pre-K to 12th grade, from all cultural background and socioeconomic statuses. Regardless of whom I have taught, I have always enjoyed it, partly because I often learn as much from my students as they learn from me. Regardless of the subject, I love teaching, and I find it to be one of the most rewarding and meaningful activities, which cliched as it may sound, really can make a difference in people's lives. Besides teaching, I am also keenly interested in the human body, specifically biomechanics, kinesiology, and rehabilitation through movement. I am currently enrolled in a Doctorate of Physical Therapy program at Washington University in St. Louis, which I should finish in 2018. Hobbies: art, books, sports, reading, music, writing

Nishad

Calculus Tutor • +24 Subjects

I am a first year medical student at the Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University. I have been a private tutor in the past in subjects such as math, biology, chemistry, and the SATs and every single one of my more than twenty students have shown significant improvement. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching, and your needs and preferences as the learner will always be paramount. I hope to help every one of my students reach every bit of their potential, and along the way, to utterly shatter any self-induced limitations that have been placed upon what they can accomplish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Many anatomy students get stuck memorizing isolated terms without grasping how structures relate functionally. A tutor can help you build mental models by connecting anatomy to physiology—explaining why the heart has four chambers, how the structure of arteries differs from veins based on their function, or how skeletal leverage works. Using diagrams, 3D visualization, and tracing pathways (like blood flow or nerve signals) transforms memorization into genuine comprehension, which makes retention easier and exam performance stronger.

Spatial reasoning is critical in anatomy, and many students find it challenging to translate flat textbook images into 3D mental models. Tutors can use interactive tools, model demonstrations, and guided drawing exercises to help you build spatial awareness. They'll walk you through how to mentally rotate structures, understand cross-sections, and visualize how organs relate in three-dimensional space—skills that are essential for success in lab practicals and clinical applications.

Anatomy courses often teach systems in isolation—skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory—but real understanding requires seeing how they work together. A tutor can help you map these connections: how the nervous system controls muscles, how the skeletal system protects organs, how the circulatory system delivers oxygen to tissues. This systems-thinking approach deepens comprehension and prepares you for physiology and clinical coursework where integration is essential.

Lab practicals require recognizing structures quickly under pressure, which demands different study strategies than lecture exams. Tutors can simulate practical conditions by having you identify structures from multiple angles, using unlabeled diagrams, and practicing with actual lab models or images. They'll also help you develop systematic scanning techniques and mnemonic strategies specific to your course's anatomy model, ensuring you're prepared for the exact format and pace of your practical exam.

Directional terminology (anterior/posterior, medial/lateral, proximal/distal) and planes (sagittal, coronal, transverse) are foundational but confusing for many students. A tutor will use your own body as a reference tool—having you physically orient yourself and apply terms to real structures—making them concrete rather than abstract. With consistent practice and spatial reinforcement, these terms become automatic, which accelerates your ability to understand anatomical descriptions and excel in coursework.

The most common trouble spots are the brachial plexus (nerve branching patterns), the anatomy of the foot and ankle (complex articulations and ligaments), and the deep structures of the neck and pelvis (crowded, layered anatomy that's hard to visualize). The brain and spinal cord also challenge students because of their complexity and the need to understand functional anatomy alongside structure. Tutors who specialize in anatomy know these sticking points and have targeted strategies to break them down into manageable pieces.

Many anatomy courses now integrate clinical correlations—explaining why certain injuries occur, how disease affects structure, or why a doctor examines specific landmarks. Understanding the 'why' behind anatomical knowledge makes it more memorable and meaningful. Tutors can connect structures to clinical scenarios relevant to your course level, whether that's explaining nerve compression injuries, understanding surgical approaches, or recognizing how anatomical variations affect patient outcomes—deepening both understanding and retention.

Effective anatomy study combines multiple modalities: labeled and unlabeled diagrams, 3D models (physical or digital like BioRender or Visible Body), dissection images, and active recall practice. The best approach depends on your learning style and course requirements. A tutor can recommend which tools work best for your specific topics, help you use them strategically, and guide you toward active learning techniques (like teaching back to the tutor or creating your own labeled diagrams) rather than passive review—which significantly improves both understanding and exam performance.
