I am currently a teacher at a private school for students with disabilities. I graduated with my Masters degree from Montclair State University with a dual certification in K-6 and special education. I teach students from ages 14-18 and have found techniques utilized in the classroom are extremely effective when tutoring students one on one. Teaching is a critical component of my life and observable progress means the world to me. Ive found that academic progress stems from interpersonal relationships between teacher, student and content. I enjoy teaching every subject but specialize in English and Social Studies. For me, its simply about making the academic content engaging for the students. Ultimately this leads to comprehension and personal intellectual progress. In my spare time I enjoy exercising, cooking, reading and traveling!

Graduating from UNC Chapel Hill in 3 years and securing my Master's just a year later, I'm well versed in navigating the education system and getting the most from it.Since high school, I've been tutoring. Friends, family, personally, and professionally, I've run the gamut. While I have tutored almost every subject, I specialize in STEM and Standardized Testing.In my view, building academic skills and confidence go hand-in-hand, when you feel knowledgeable it's much easier to demonstrate that knowledge. I take pride in meeting my students where they're at, helping them digest the subject in a way that just 'clicks' for them.

I graduated from Allegheny College with a BS in Chemistry last Spring. I am very passionate about chemistry and will begin working for my PhD this fall at the University of Maryland. In the meantime, I am excited to be back in Manhattan to tutor students in chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics. I have had a love for math and science for a long time and believe that the problem solving skills needed to crack these subjects are critical for students looking to be successful in whatever field they choose to pursue. For this reason, I push my students to not only master the material, but also teach strategies to recognize problem structures that will help them tackle new material in the future. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer and traveling. I have spent a good deal of time in South America and am always looking for excuses to return. I truly enjoyed tutoring students in chemistry during college, but as a graduate of Beacon High School in Manhattan I am excited to be back in the City and working with New York's next round of science and math enthusiasts.

I majored in Biology in college and earned my B.Sc. from Geneseo in 2012, graduating cum laude. I have applied my education in the professional world, working as a Senior Laboratory Technician at Stony Brook University, and conducting ecological and behavioral research on wild howler monkeys in Nicaragua. Currently I spend my time tutoring students and taking graduate courses at Stony Brook University in the Ecology and Evolution department. I am passionate about teaching and helping students succeed in academics. I believe in treating students as individuals and catering my style to their aptitude and most effective style of learning. I emphasize understanding concepts as opposed to rote memorization, ensuring students have the tools to tackle any problem they may come across.

Hello! I am a certified teacher in Florida. I have served in many learning environments, including the traditional classroom and a tutoring center. These opportunities have allowed me to work with very small children, as well as college-aged young adults. I recognize every individual has a unique learning process. To enjoy positive learning experiences, it is important for me to understand how uniquely different each person is that I teach.

I just completed my 3rd year of medical school. I love working with students and tutoring. I am interested in Internal Medicine and academic medicine.I am originally from NYC but live in CT. I am a first-generation American with parents from Ghana. I have 6 siblings!I think everyone has the capacity to master a topic. Sometimes it might take someone more time and effort than someone else but with the right tools, practice, and patience everyone has the ability to succeed.I have tutored elementary, middle, and high school students. I like to tutor in Science and Math but I have experience in tutoring in English to students who do not speak English fluently. I was an Adjunct Faculty at a college and taught a 3-credit Genetics course. My tutoring style focuses on lots of practice and understanding the student's learning style so that I can make sure they grasp the concept in a way they understand.

Hi! My name is Toni and I am a rising junior studying finance at Rutgers University. For high school, I attended Bergen County Academies and completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) program as part of the Academy for Business and Finance. I have a vast amount of experience tutoring different subject material to different age groups, with a specialty in test prep. I tutored a high school freshman in Algebra 2 for a year (helping her get an A), a rising high school senior for the ACT (boosting his initial score by 25%), and groups of high schoolers for SAT prep. I have also worked with younger age groups as a camp counselor and a tutor at an elementary school near my university. I love tutoring because it gives me the chance to help my students reach their academic goals, which I know they care about deeply. I also enjoy getting to know a variety of people and being able to watch them grow as individuals and intellectuals through the tutoring process. Outside of academia, I enjoy sports, music, and spending time with friends and family.

As an undergraduate, I was privileged to attend Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. Knox's small class size and emphasis on senior faculty teaching introductory courses made a lasting impression on me. I learned to learn in a collegial atmosphere.As a graduate student (MS & PhD) at Ohio State University, I successfully taught for my entire graduate career. I was nominated several times for the Excellence in Teaching Award. Working with and being a student at a large state school helped round out for me the variety of educational experiences available to students.From both large and small schools, I have adapted those traits of those teachers who most positively influenced me. In my teaching over 20+ years, the following points of emphasis come to mind.1. All students are individuals. They deserve to be treated with dignity and respect. This is a shared responsibility.2. Love of the subject and knowledge of the subject I am teaching go a long way to imparting the true excitement of learning. I have mastered many fields and work to intersperse "real-world" examples into my teaching.3. A Russian author said, "You can teach anything to anyone if you truly understand it yourself." I believe that. I work hard to truly understand the subject and choose not to try to teach a subject in which I am not fluent.4. In my teaching approach, I try use the Socratic Method to show the student that he already knows the answer to his question. I do this by directed questioning, leading the student from beginning to middle to end in a logical progression. The result is a student who learns to have confidence in himself and in applying the information he has already mastered.5. I receive back from teaching students more than I put in. I am constantly overwhelmed and gratified by the feeling I get from seeing the expression on a student's face when he finally grasps a difficult concept.

I have always enjoyed helping others to learn new information; it is rewarding to afford the gift of knowledge! It is rewarding to teach our future nurses and other medical professionals so they can succeed and achieve their own personal goals. We all struggle a little bit in the beginning of a new venture, it takes time and dedication. But it IS possible. I am a patient person, am happy and willing to teach to the best of my ability, but it takes patience, collaboration and effort on both sides. Let's engage!

I have spent my professional career of 25+ years working in K-12 and higher education.I received my Bachelor of Arts in Music Performance at the University of Maryland. My first Master's degree is from the University of Portland in Music Education and my second, aMaster of Science degree in Arts Administration from Drexel University. I was executive director of an arts education organization that reached 70,000 PreK-12 students each year. There I developed curriculum-based programs to bring artist residencies into schools. My current position is that of marketing director at a college of music at a large urban university. What I most enjoy about my past and current jobs is interacting and mentoring college and high school students -- talking to them about their goals and helping them to prepare to enter the workforce. I was a reading tutor for adults through a YMCA program and taught private piano lessons to children and seniors. I am a member of several cultural organizations as well as the local rotary club. In my spare time, I play piano, quilt and read.
