I am an incoming freshman at Northwestern University, and I will be studying economics and international studies. I have lots of experience in mentoring students individually and teaching in the classroom through being a student intern for a sophomore honors English class. I love working with students who are preparing for tests or college admissions because it gives me an opportunity to impart my knowledge of the college application process to others and empathize with them on all their concerns. I believe that education and critical thinking are key to expanding your horizons and achieving your goals in life.

I understand what it feels like to not understand a subject, as I have been in the situation many times myself. I find that the best way to grasp a difficult concept is to approach it from different angles. Everyone learns differently, and my goal is to find the best way to teach that resonates with your specific learning style.I have been tutoring for nearly five years now, starting in my Sophomore Year of high school. Ever since then I have constantly been tutoring in my spare time, primarily through school organizations such as National Honor Society in high school and One With NYU in college. I have tutored a wide range of subjects, including, but not limited to, algebra, trigonometry, physical sciences, SAT prep, and ACT prep. I am very comfortable tutoring any subject that is listed on my profile.The feeling of learning something new is great, but the feeling of teaching it to someone is equally rewarding!

I am from New Haven, CT and graduated from Hamden Hall Country Day School last year. I am now a freshman at Emory University where I am double majoring in Psychology and Economics. If you're anything like me, you might also be a terrible test taker. I get so nervous when I sit down for standardized tests that I can barely think of the answer. Tests are not my strong suit, but I believe that works to my advantage as a tutor. When I began studying for the ACT and taking practice tests, I was having difficulty improving my original score. I spent months working with a tutor and skipped countless baseball practices just to go home and aimlessly review old material. I consistently scored in the low 30s, so when the real test came around, I was pretty confident. Let's just say it didn't go as planned. I generally scored high on the English and Math, but always had trouble with the Reading and Science sections. The questions I got wrong in those sections were quite similar, yet I would get the same type of questions wrong on each subsequent test. Once I figured out my own strategies to approaching specific questions and improving my time management skills, I grew comfortable sitting in those desks for three hours. I finally began hitting that 99th percentile mark.The most invaluable part I believe to the college application is the essay portion. I can teach you guys some of the ways I approach the Supplements and Personal Statement to creatively show your voice. I think about it as a party: if you're at a party with one hundred people and someone can identify you based on something you wrote in your essay, then it is most likely a strong essay. One of Emory's essay prompts asked students to write about their favorite fiction or nonfiction work, and I submitted a piece about Two, and a Half Men that I'd never thought would be included in my college application. I later met the admissions officer who read my application and she recognized my name because of that essay.I tutored seven students for the ACT during the summer before my freshman year. I can also help with Math, Econ, English, and editing papers. Feel free to reach out!

I am a two-time graduate of LaSalle University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Accounting and then continued on to receive my Masters of Business Administration in Management. Prior to my teaching career, I spent a portion of my career managing several of my own business entities in the financial industry. My teaching specialties are mathematics and business. The business section includes accounting, finance, economics, marketing and business operations to name a few. My favorite subjects are business related due to the ability when teaching to showcase the material against past and present situations. My most important attribute mentioned by my students is how patient I am with them. My teaching philosophy is grounded in two very important notions; learning requires the student to be active in the process and that the teacher must place the information presented into real-world context. It is my responsibility to lead my students to the path of applying learned information to relevant situations. My interests outside of my teaching include golf, scuba diving, hiking, personal fitness and vintage baseball.

Celestine is my name, the last born of four children, and I am currently based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I was born into quite a small family of one sister and two brothers. My late father was a public servant, and my mother is a retired civil servant who is currently based in Accra, Ghana. My father died of an unknown sickness exactly a year when I graduated from college. I was born and raised in Accra, Ghana; Accra is the capital city of Ghana. All my family are based in Ghana, and I am the only one whos currently in the United States.Though I grew up in the city, my family is not rich, and I am the only one with the highest level of education. My parents were not that educated; my fathers highest level of education was elementary and my mother was a high school graduate. Two of my siblings are high school graduates and the other one is a diploma holder. However, being the last born offered me much privilege, since my parents wanted to see one of their children climb higher in the level of education. I was therefore raised differently from my siblings, with serious guidance and discipline from my parents.Growing up in a non-academic oriented family offered me the zeal and passion to be sedulous towards my education. Being the last of four siblings and the only one with a university degree, I was never deterred, but I was challenge to strive harder and achieve the highest level of education. Attaining the best level of education was very demanding, due to my poor economic background, but through the encouragement, support, and guidance of my parents and some leaders in the society I gradually picked up and excelled as I moved further up on the ladder of education.I have interest in studying things related to mathematics. Mathematics broadens the knowledge and makes one thinks deeper and sharper. Mathematics is used as an essential tool in many fields such as natural science, medicine, engineering and economics. This motivated me to study science in the senior secondary school and to major in Agricultural Economics at the undergraduate level.I obtained my elementary and high school education in a less endowed urban school, by way of qualified teachers. That notwithstanding, I persisted with my dreams, studied assiduously and mostly emerged on top of my class. After high school I gained admission to the University of Ghana, which is the best and premier university in Ghana. It is also an incredibly diverse community, which usually attract brainy students in Ghana, mostly students from well-endowed schools.At my freshmen level, I felt like there was no belonging for me and so lonely. Fellow students will ask, which high school are you from? and me being from a low school, it was clear, I did not belong. But I never isolated myself from school gathering, I overlooked all the rejections and discrimination from other students and tried as much to mingle. My last three years was therefore a good stay in the school community.After graduation, I moved to a rural community as a senior program officer to teach and train illiterates, dropouts, and repatriated trafficked children. This was a big task for me, since I had live in the city all my life, but also it was a transformation in my life. It made me understood that, as people we can never be the same, we are raised differently by different people in different environment, and we have different cultural values. I gained much experience and exposure from this rural community. I also learned to treat people nicely and equally no matter their background.My parents (especially my mum) were the most influential people in my life. One thing I did when growing up, was to read worthwhile, and not just in my area of study. Reading about great people from poor background who defied all difficult situations just to work harder and accomplished it so well in life indeed inspired me a lot. It made me realized and discovered that success has nothing to do with your background, and that is all about diligence, determination, and with perseverance one can achieve whatever he or she want in life.My study area in high school was science, with the dream of being a medical doctor, but as I climb the educational ladder my interest changed. This is so because, it has always been a paradox to me why poverty and hunger are so intense in some agrarian economies like that of sub-Saharan African countries, despite agriculture being the backbone of most economic growth. I therefore decided to pursue agricultural economics at the university to gain a better understanding to these issues, and how it can be solved. I have no regrets for the change of mind since that made me discovered my long-term career path and future goals. That was a defining moment in my life, I further applied to some good schools in agricultural economics for my masters degree, upon which I gained admission and scholarship to two of the schools, but I accepted the offer to Mississippi State University out of the two.I am currently a first-year PhD student at the University of Minnesota studying applied economics. My research interest is in development, trade and policy. I am currently taking my coursework so I am yet to come up my dissertation topics, hopefully in my third year. My long term professional goal is to conduct research that will impact lot of lives and economies globally. I am very versatile, goal oriented, and have a track record of setting objectives and achieving them.My talent is cooking. My family is endowed with cooking skills. To me cooking is a gift and is something Im extremely passionate about. Im able to prepare tasty food from little ingredients, and the easy with which I can learn new recipes is a distinct feature I have. I can prepare a few continental dishes and lot of local dishes.My hobbies are reading, listening to music and current affairs, watching movies, and social networking. I love to read economics books related to trade, development, and growth quite often. I as well read novels, inspirational books, and on the media platform (BBC, CNN, Aljazeera, Economist and others). I derive so much joy in reading as I always motivate myself with saying The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, and the more places you will go.Further, I love to social network quite a lot. Meeting new people, making new friends, and staying in touch with them, has become so easy, thanks to this interactive web medium of social networking; is therefore something I often do for fun after a hard days work or for leisure.

I'm a sophomore at Cornell University, and a recent graduate from Stuyvesant High School (a specialized high school in downtown Manhattan). I have much experience tutoring kids from ages 6 to 18 through the company Allen Mentoring in subjects such as physics, math, english, and history. I have scored a 34 on my ACT exam (out of 36). If you haven't found anyone already, I would be happy to be of assistance. Please let me know. I would be happy to answer any questions beforehand. Thank you!

I studied International Relations, Arabic, and Economics at Tufts University before deciding to pursue a career in medicine. While completing my post-bacc at Harvard, I worked as a research assistant in the lab of the Chief of Nephrology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and volunteered extensively. One of my favorite volunteer experiences was tutoring high school students from Dorchester and Roxbury. I taught my students English, Physics, Chemistry, Algebra, Trigonometry, Biology, and helped them with standardized test preparation. My personal tutoring style is to use a combination of relatable metaphors and real life examples to help my students genuinely understand whatever material we are covering. I scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT and the MCAT2015, so I feel confident with a variety of test preparation. I am currently applying to medical school and enjoy powerlifting, grand strategy games, historical fiction, and chocolate.

I love making complex ideas digestible. I discovered this during my eight years as a competitive debater in high school and college. I was lucky enough to coach high school debate for four years helping students learn how research, write and speak in front of an audience. At my undergraduate, Simpson College, I tutored college and high school students in mathematics, economics, accounting and edited papers. I firmly believe every student can succeed if they set a goal, seek out the right support (that's me!) and work hard. I graduated Simpson College in 2016 with degrees in Economics and History, and I am currently applying to Ph. D. programs in Latin American History. As a full-time dork, I also love playing board games, video games, reading with my cat and learning about new and interesting ideas and people.

I am a 2016 alumna of Cornell University, graduating summa cum laude in Anthropology with a minor in Global Health. I also participated in the pre-med curriculum, taking courses in Physics, Biology, Chemistry, and Math. During my senior year, I tutored students from the Department of Athletics and the Office of Academic and Diversity Initiatives in Calculus I. I am passionate about helping others gain the skills, confidence, and understanding to achieve academic success.

I am a graduate of Georgia State University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Economics with a minor in French. A few years later, I completed the Masters of Arts in Teaching certification at the University of Memphis. Since graduation, I have spent most of my time as a middle school pre-algebra teacher. Currently, I teach pre-algebra to students with special needs, and I love my job! What my students love most about me is my patience and my ability to relate math to the real world.I tutor a broad range of subjects, but my true passion is teaching math to middle and high school students, especially students who really struggle to understand math. As an experienced math teacher, I know where students have common misunderstandings and pitfalls, and I can help.Another passion of mine is tutoring adults who need help passing teacher certification exams. As someone who has been through the certification process, I can relate to how stressful testing can be. Whether you are taking a PRAXIS exam for the first time or the fifth time, I can help you get the score you need!When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I'm usually hanging out with my two awesome nieces, who are 9 and 13. We love going to Six Flags, movies, and roller skating.
