My areas of expertise include: - Academic Writing: whether students are working on the fundamentals of essay composition,...

...to get into college. The one thing that's common in these various scenarios is my passion to help students that are apprehensive to learn because they don't know what to do, and teach them how to break down a situation and discover for themselves how to study, learn, and find out to derive the answer for themselves. My Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Syracuse University and my Master's certificate in TEFL/TESOL from Learning...

...Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored to the student's unique attributes.

...tutoring high school math, science, and reading, as well as specific ACT and SAT prep! I have always loved working with people, especially students.

I really enjoyed standardized tests when I was in high school and have...

...three years, specializing in college-bound high school students and middle school children. While I have experience tutoring many subjects, my favorites are Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. I did not discover my passion for these subjects until college (I was admitted to Columbia as pre-law for my writing), and I wish I had been exposed to the fun aspects of these subjects at younger age. Often we are discouraged from science and math while young...

...I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant at Vassar College as well as at the Montclair Art Museum summer program for children. I often worked one on one with students improving their proficiency in Spanish. I am a published poet and playwright, a standup comedian, and a jazz guitarist.

...life. My goal is to do just that: rouse their natural enthusiasm for a subject and help them support it with evidence that's laid out in a compelling, causal structure. Focusing on causal transitions between paragraphs is a skill rarely taught in secondary education, but often expected at the college level. I learned this the hard way. But my years of writing-intensive tutorial classes at Williams College, combined with my professional experience as a theater...

I also staffed my college's math help center in its inaugural semester on campus, tutoring students as they walked in the door on anything from Pre-Calculus to Geometry to Statistics.

My love for supporting my peers goes all the way back to my experience as president of the National STEM Honor Society at my high school, where I tutored middle schoolers in subjects including algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, biology, and precalculus. Moreover, I was the STEM lead teacher at NYC's most recognized engineering camp, NORY. I taught the "masters" classroom of children ages 8 and up high-tech engineering...

...their writing skills. In my experience, everyone has a writer within, and unlocking that potential is one of my favorite experiences. Working in the rigorous educational environment of South Korea gave me experience helping students prepare for standardized tests of all kinds--and I know how students feel, because I recently took the GRE. I love to teach and I love to learn--and I want all my students to feel the same way. When students have...

Since then I have had the opportunity and experience teaching students at every grade level, from 6-12 over the past five years. While I have tutored many subjects, my biggest passion is literature. I love helping students develop an appreciation and love for reading. I also enjoy teaching SAT prep, particularly...

I will teach you not only how to be a better learner, but how to be more confident in your academic pursuits. I am interested in empowering my students and helping them in a way that is personal and meaningful to them.

...more than to help you succeed. And I believe it all starts with good writing and analytical skills. This is what will distinguish you from the crowd - being able to clearly and easily communicate your ideas and to build strong arguments supported by solid evidence. In my experience as a tutor, I've worked with kids in middle school, where the goal was to motivate them to want to learn and present the material in...

...Algebra, Calculus, Python, and C++. I love helping students learn and seeing their eyes light up as they grasp new concepts. I enjoy using visual or real life examples to explain new concepts, especially for younger students. I believe doing practice problems is one of the most effective ways to learn as it allows students to figure out exactly which aspects of new concepts they might be struggling with so I can best help them....

I'm a professional copy-editor and proofreader looking to make supplemental income. I'm very good with language, literature, writing, and speaking. I'm a good tutor because I focus on outcomes -- my last SAT client raised his Verbal score 200 points after I worked with him.

I am a passionate tutor with a BA in English Language & Literature. I especially love creative writing, poetry in particular, but am qualified to tutor in a variety of subjects. I also have plenty of experience with disability accommodations, adaptations, and assistive tech (including AAC) that may be useful in tutoring for some students.
