In my experience, the best teachers help their students understand the principles behind the material and work from there. Any subject, from Latin to history to math, can be a grueling exercise in rote memorization, but that's not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a...

...their reading. Through zoom, I would sit and read with the students, helping them with big words and understanding the story's main idea. While I can tutor in many subjects, I am drawn to the subjects of English (specifically reading comprehension)and Science and helping with test prep. I have also recently become EMT certified so I have fresh knowledge of the subject and how to pass the exam. Education is a major part of my...

My name is Gina, and I've worked with children who have been incarcerated, children with special needs, and refugees. I understand that teaching is about much more than relaying information. It's about non-judgement. It's about overcoming all possible barriers to success. It's about instilling confidence, independence, and resilience. It's about engaging the individual, and finding passion, excitement, and real motivation. If you are looking for more than somebody to simply relay information, if you are...

After performing slightly above average on the ACT my first attempt, I found a tutor who helped me reach my full potential and absolutely rock the test. Since then, I have not been intimidated by any exam in University or beyond, including the LSAT. I know I can instill this same confidence in other students by slowly highlighting insight into testing methodologies. By the end of our prep, your student will be able to use...

I'm a rising junior at Harvard College. I study African American Studies with a secondary in Women's Studies and I am pursuing a language citation in Spanish. I aspire to one day go to business school. When I am not doing work, I can typically be found reading, writing, or dancing.

I believe in instilling an understanding of the subject or topic in my student rather than simply regurgitating test strategies. To this end I actively seek to engage with my students and find points of interest for them to explore within the material we are learning. I hold that every student has the potential to learn every subject as a fundamental truth of education.

Confucius once said: "If your plan is for one year, plant rice. ... If your plan is for one hundred years, educate children." I think this statement could not be more true, and I truly hope to contribute to making a more educated and successful world.

I've been a professional tutor for the past ten years and a college instructor for the past four years.

I'm an undergraduate student at Rutgers University in New Brunswick studying sociology, criminology, and art history. After completing high school, I went to Middlesex County College on the NJ Stars scholarship and completed my associates in liberal arts and have taken my educational journey to Rutgers. As someone who realized that things did not come as easy to them as they got older, I worked by myself to develop study techniques that allowed me to...

...classrooms. My goal is to help students attain mastery by providing the context and tools that let them have "Eureka!" moments. Learning is fun, and tutoring is more than just being a living wikipedia article. It's giving life to the dry and soulless problem set, making fun of the trap answers on the LSAT, and linking history to its greatest stories. I don't need gimmicks and games to make that happen. I just find where...

I have a BA in Chemistry from Yeshiva University and recently finished an MA in Chemistry from Columbia University. I was a TA for organic chemistry lab/lecture and have done a bunch of other tutoring as well. Obviously chemistry rocks, but I also enjoy tutoring SAT and GRE math!... I'd figure out our end goal, and then outline a plan to get there.... I'd break it down into smaller pieces or use analogies, but sometimes just...

In May of 2017, I graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a bachelors in Mechanical Engineering.

...subjects lay a critical foundation for all students no matter what they decide to study in college or what career path they decide to pursue. I love reading everything from classical literature, to historical biographies economic textbooks, so I am a bit of a nerd. I also grew up in Colorado, so I love the outdoors and doing things like rock climbing, hiking, and skiing. Probably more than anything though, I am passionate about Africa...

I am a senior majoring in General Science and Business at the University of Notre Dame. I am also a History minor because I love US History. I have experience tutoring in math, chemistry (orgo and general), biology, and history. In addition, I worked with Matriculate tutoring in SAT Prep and College Admissions.

Hi there! If there's one thing I'm sure of, it's that I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also...
