Award-Winning AP World History Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...is Justin McGowan. I am a senior at St. Joseph's College in Patchogue, NY majoring in History and Secondary Education. I have been tutoring on and off for the past three years. What I've learned the most is that there is no one size fits all approach and each student deserves specific time and energy devoted to them. In my spare time I enjoy reading, riding my bike, hanging out with friends, and playing or...

...I first began tutoring in high school, helping fellow students with Algebra II, Pre-calculus and Calculus via the school's math honors society. In college, I tutored local high school students on their homework and SAT prep exercises, as well as giving lessons on nonviolent conflict resolution in middle and high schools through a volunteer program. I also have a younger sister and several younger cousins who I have tutored for years. I intend to channel...

Ever since bringing refugee children up to and beyond grade-level mathematics while tutoring in the mid-2000s, I have always been motivated by a spirit of service to community, society, and humanity at large. Teaching and tutoring is one small but essential part of that ethos.

...Classics, Gender & Queer Studies, Film Studies, Spanish and Writing at the college level for eleven years. Art History--particularly Modern and Contemporary Art--has always been inseparable from my teaching curriculum in Latin American Studies. Additionally, I am an innovative academic researcher and writer with diverse interests, from Early Modern Ibero-American Transatlantic Studies to Korean TV dramas. Complementing my teaching background is my ability to turn abstract concepts into tangible multimedia content for experts, students and...

I also do GRE and SAT verbal section prep. In...

...optimistic personality. I weightlift and read a lot in my free time and have a pretty eclectic music taste. However, I will be the first to admit I'm always a little behind the curve when it comes to new music, so any help in getting caught up is always appreciated. I'm always interested in meeting new people and learn about them and I think being a tutor is a great way to put on display...

Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.

...is a 3.6. I have taught in the south Bronx, the north Bronx, and most recently in Yonkers Public Schools. Yonkers Public Schools has a program funded by the city that allows for in home tutoring to be made available to students who were either displaced from school for some reason or students who are new to the district. I was a tutor in this program for two years, and I had complete and utter...

I have a long background in editing, writing and mentoring students, and I look forward to working together. Please get in touch if you're looking for someone with a sense of humor...

...passion when it asks as much from the student as it gives back. My role as a tutor is to be a collaborator. I am here to challenge and help, but I am not here to direct the learning. That must come from the student. I truly believe that this approach leads to more passionate and better students. I am a professional improv coach and performer as well. I feel those skills help me be...

I am looking to get some more experience tutoring and teaching with the idea of pursuing further academic work in the future.... It changes based on the student. Not all students work well with a particular philosophy, nor should such a philosophy be set in stone.... I would look to understand the student's class, goals, and strengths/weaknesses. Then I might have them work on their normal homework with me making suggestions to get an idea of...

I am an NYC-based tutor with many years of tutoring experience in and around the city. I've worked with students from many different backgrounds and ability levels. I believe strongly in the importance of giving a student the confidence to flourish academically.

...I've worked on political campaigns, worked at the Met Opera, and lived in New York City. I am interested in tutoring anything in the Humanities, any of the Liberal Arts, though my strength is in History, given that is the area of my studies. I like to get to know the students I work with: I want to know what they are experts in, I want to know what kind of a thinker they are,...

...I am a playwright, educator, and graduate of Bard College. I work part time as a literary assistant at off-Broadway theater Playwrights Horizons, where I read play submissions and write thoughtful response letters. For three years, I worked as Enrichment Director at a Shakespeare education program at New Pond Farm in Redding, Connecticut. I helped teenaged actors struggle through difficult passages of iambic pentameter in Twelfth Night and Macbeth. The goal was not only to...

...as specific section or want to raise their grade, I will work with them, problem solving to their satisfaction. I received a degree in Economics and English Literature from Tulane University in New Orleans Louisiana. I have over six years of experience teaching. I am the youngest of 6 siblings born and raised in Dallas Texas, Texas. Listening and playing music are a very large part of life, as is reading fiction. Someday I hope...

...seventh grade social studies teacher in my second year. I pride myself in teaching/improving student writing and literacy skills. I start every session with a diagnostic test in order to see the strengths and weaknesses of each student. Then I design a specific curriculum to strengthen the student's skills holistically. With these new found skills students can apply them to any class (math, science, english) and even in their personal and professional lives. The idea...

...Yale University in May with a major in Literature, and currently work as a high school English teacher. My thesis explored the use of mise en abyme, a post-modern literary device, in graphic novels. My six years of work as an outdoor instructor in Vermont have nurtured my passion for experiential education, which I have completed through my work as a writing and French tutor. I have extensive experience editing college essays and helping students...

...and writing. My tutoring philosophy is to impart in students the capacity to analyze a subject critically and enable them to develop and support theses in relation to the subject. I accomplish this by providing the student with note-taking and text-reading skills which allow them to focus on the pertinent information and then discuss conceptual frameworks through which the information can viewed. My prior experience with education has been supporting fellow students at the college...

...at Toll Gate High School in Warwick, RI. My motivation for doing so was born of my love of history and the realization of the importance of education in a democratic society. I want the work I do to have value beyond the dollar amount attached to it. There is no more valuable profession than that of education, in my opinion. Classroom teaching, however, is not well suited to my personality and skill set. I...

...someone else learn. A good tutor doesn't just explain the subject to you - they explain what's cool about it, how it applies to your life, and why you want to learn it. If I have to brush up on my AP Chemistry as an excuse to explain why dimensional analysis is actually the most useful math you'll ever learn, I find it thrilling, not a chore. That's really my whole paradigm, as a tutor....
