Award-Winning AP World History Tutors serving Albany County, NY

...University at Albany, after transferring here from Boston University. I am currently completing my dissertation in English. I love teaching, tutoring, advising, and working with students. I have taught at the college level for over a decade and was a substitute teacher before that. Tutoring has become a renewed interest for me now that I spend less time in the classroom and more in my advisement and administrative role. Writing, reading, critical thinking, and all...

I believe education brings independence of thought. My intention is not to tell people what to think but to assist them to identify resources, analyze them and arrive at independent conclusions. I also seek to help individuals express themselves both verbally and in writing in the most informed and effective way. To have knowledge is to be free to identify prejudice and propaganda in all aspects of communication.

...PhD in Communication and Rhetoric from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have experience tutoring students in writing and verbal communication, and I have taught undergraduate courses in the humanities and social sciences. I love working one-on-one with students and believe that learning is most effective when it's engaging and fun. My goal is to make myself obsolete! Our tutoring sessions will be geared toward both short-term and long-term goals, building the skills you need to succeed...

...believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past such as Plato, Virgil,...

...(CMU). I have spent a large portion of my life outside of the United States and am fluent in Spanish and currently studying Arabic as well. I was homeschooled for much of my life and loved it, but completed my last three years of high school in a public school and am thus well acquainted with the various forms of standardized testing. When I'm not studying I like singing and theatre, reading, playing the piano,...

I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

...as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students and helping them grow was amazing. I aim to build these types of relationships and connections with students on their paths'...

...tutoring math, science, and Spanish, using my personal and current education with feedback from previous students to refine my approach. In high school I started a student success center during covid to provide free online tutoring, providing tutors in all subjects during set hours of the week. I work hard to create a comfortable environment to reduce the stresses and pressures of tutoring, not only allowing me to enhance my student's education but do so...

...excited to help get you or your child a boost in school or in studying for an upcoming test. I am an incoming freshmen at Rutgers University Honors College, intending to major in Math and Philosophy on a pre-law track. In my free time I love to read, play chess, soccer, and basketball, and volunteer. I am also very involved with several types of debate and speech competitions. Please feel free to reach out to...

...young and enthusiastic. I can relate to the kids I tutor because I recently experienced the classes and standardized tests that they are taking. I use an informal style so that the student can feel comfortable asking questions. I try to connect personally to the students so that they have fun and look forward to tutoring. I tutor standardized tests and most high school classes. I have two years of experience tutoring and I spent...
