I have been a teacher for the past 10 years, teaching all core subjects to students of all ages. I have worked with students as young as kindergarten and as old as high school seniors, through my regular classroom and summer school jobs. I currently teach 6th grade (for the past 5 years), in a typical elementary style self-contained classroom, meaning I teach all subjects, and I absolutely love it! I enjoy working with people and helping them develop their interests and skill sets, as personal growth is one of my most important values. I have both my bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and master's degree in Educational Leadership from Cardinal Stritch University. As an undergrad I also minored in Literacy and Spanish, the latter of which allowed for a wonderful summer study abroad experience in Guatemala. I teach all subjects but enjoy tutoring math the most, since when I was a young student I struggled in math. Through consistent effort and practice I began to improve in my math abilities and I want to impart that same feeling of success to my students. I learned many strategies to help math make sense to me and I now introduce a variety of methods to help my students make sense of solving problems. I also enjoy tutoring for the PRAXIS exam and helping to develop test taking skills; my students consistently show meaningful growth on our state standardized testing. My Praxis Core Reading score: 181, Praxis Core Writing: 180, Praxis Core Math: 184. I am very eager to engage in new experiences, especially ones that allow me to tap into my creative side. I feel as though I am the most energized, best version of myself, when I am writing (songs, raps, poems, plays), singing, rapping, acting, directing, dancing, painting, and anything else that allows me to express myself while having a good laugh along the way.

My decision to seek out a four-year institution for its plethora of almost esoteric opportunities has yielded me a greater appreciation for how ambitious and capable people truly are, which is best captioned while a set of challenges are being confronted. This kind of self-determination is an aspect not limited to a college education and his purely individualistic. It's been my experiences tutoring college writers in an array of different subjects that augmented this belief that everyone has something to gain by honing their writing, but sometimes we need someone trustworthy to point out where we have been lapsing. There shouldn't be any question that this skill has to be cultivated to see significant growth, but where does anyone get if they spend more time sufficing than striving?I've been a college writing tutor for over a year and consider every person's writing capability an invaluable trait worth honing. I think tutoring's a practice so largely undervalued that some people have difficulty defining what role a tutor's meant to play. They're not a talking calculator or implanted with your specific answer sheet, but rather put their focus towards seeing you progress. If time and energy aren't ingredients given their needed respect, however, the process undercuts itself rather abruptly.

Hi! I'm Amanda and I'm passionate about education. I have a Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Education and earned my Master's degree in education as well with a speciality in Children's Literature. I have worked with many young students in the past 6 years in various subject areas. However, phonics and literature are my favorite because we read every single day with everything we do! I believe children learn in various ways - not one, uniform way. I teach the way students learn - by using various strategies and approaches to best reach all learners. Every child can and deserves to learn. My goal is to boost the self-confidence in children to make them better learners and love learning to be successful in all that they do!

I'm a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle where I received my MFA in Acting from the School of Drama. I did myundergraduate work in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.Since relocating to Manhattan from the West Coast, I've had the great fortune to teach in a variety of settings-- from privatetutoring, to lead teaching at ESL Language Schools, to leading literacy-based theater residencies in the public school system. My earliestteaching experiences were in college-level English and ESL-- I'm a CELTA-certified ESL teacher, and have always been passionate aboutlanguage and literacy. In recent years, however, I've also been working more and more on privately tutoring Language Arts, Humanities,and Test Prep (SAT, AP, TOEFL) with students at the middle and high school level. I love the challenge of tailoring my lessons to an individual student's needs, and the rewarding process of helping a student find the specific approach and skill set that works for him or her. I thinkit's vitally important to give my students the skills they need to go on and work independently-- so I look at tutoring as partof the developmental process that will have lasting, tangible results.As a parallel to my teaching work, I'm an actor and playwright. In my spare time I love exploring new neighborhoods, traveling, cooking(and eating!) and watching movies.

I have been tutoring all levels of Spanish for over 10 years. I love working with students on an individual basis to help them succeed in their class. I understand that foreign languages don't come easy for everyone. I actually almost failed my first year of Spanish in high school. However, with hard work and persistence, I ended up excelling in my classes and now, more than 15 years later, I am a Spanish translator and interpreter. I know what worked for me when I was struggling, so I like to incorporate those same strategies with other students. I like to use humor and word associations to help students remember things. I get along with any type of personality and have a passion for working with special needs students as well. I have worked with students from age 8 to 68! It is never too early or too late to start learning Spanish. I hope that my passion for the Spanish language will spill over into the lives of my students.

Since graduating from the University of Michigan my career has focused on working with students to help them achieve academic success. After completing my undergraduate degree, I spent two years working as a teacher for the Teach for America Americorps program. When my teaching commitment was complete I went on to graduate school and earned an MA from the College of Education at Michigan State University. I now work as an academic advisor for college students. My goal is to ensure every student I work with feels empowered to move towards new academic milestones.

I have an advanced degree in science and technology from MIT.I specialize in microelectronics- scaling devices to their physical limit and enabling more advanced computer, mobile and server chips.I enjoy very much teaching students science and math and motivating them for future careers in technology. I look forward to helping you achieve your academic goals.We need bright minds to push technology limits that can solve complex problems and increase the standard of living in our society with more advanced devices.

My name is Debra and I have an MA in Anthropology from the University of Chicago. I really like engaging with the humanities and hope to help students improve their understanding of history, the social science, writing, and grammar.

As a tutor, I find it rewarding to help students improve and fortify their academic skills. I love to see students gain confidence, grasping and applying knowledge they didn't understand before. My teaching style is adaptable to the learning style of my students, so I love to spend a little time getting to know my students and incorporate their interests into what they're learning. I can't wait to meet all of the young thinkers on their academic journey and help them unlock their potential!One of my favorite quotes is Albert Einstein's words: "Education is not the learning of facts, but the training of the mind to think."

Hi! I'm Amanda. I love math and sharing it with others. I want to help you to understand mathematics as well as to see the fun and beauty in it. Let's get to it!
