...humanities. I am a savvy test taker and would be able to teach your child not only the content necessary to excel at an exam and other standardized tests, but also how to utilize strategies to maximize efficiency and accuracy. In teaching, I enjoy connecting the subject matter to topics that would not necessarily seem relevant to the lesson in order to engage the student on a deeper level. I can tutor many subjects, Algebra,...

...am not buried in a book I enjoy Mountain Biking, Sailing, and Kayaking. I have studied Biochemistry for two years at SUNY Geneseo, and I am currently transitioning to a career path in Health Sciences closer to home. I believe I stand out as a tutor because I avoid mindless memorization and instead propose simple examples that explain why and how we come up with an answer. I was born with a love for learning and...

...I believe education is the foundation of success. I enjoy knowing that my students are interested in becoming more knowledgeable and proficient in the selected subject matter. I want to help every one of my students achieve their goals and also help make their dreams a reality. When I am not teaching or tutoring students I enjoy playing golf and exercising. I have played golf for over 17 years and I have never broken a...

...what made it happen. Not the mere fact that mathematical formulas work but why they work and what that can achieve. This is what makes learning interesting for students and instructing a joy for teachers - the process and the dialogue. It doesn't mean learning is always fun - it can certainly be tedious at times for both parties. But this approach has, for me, been the most successful in demonstrating the value of continued...

...and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a library, I'm walking my Australian shepherd dog around Fort Tryon Park or shopping for used books.

...Columbia University, studying Sustainable Development and urban adaptation to climate change. I've always had a passion for teaching, and currently teach pre-college math with Columbia University's Community Impact program, for non-traditional adult learners.

...worked in two different tutoring organization. These organizations were very different. In one of these organizations, I conducted individualized tutorial sessions for students (K-12) with academic deficiencies after determining what skill areas required additional assistance. In the second organization, I lead two-hour study sessions (5-6 students) from K-12th grade for state exams, specialized high school exams, pre-SAT, SAT and ACT. During medical school, I have tutored students for medical board exams. My strongest subjects have...

I love teaching Mathematics and preparing young adults for the SAT, as these subjects challenged me growing up, and I adore sharing my philosophy for learning the key concepts in these subjects/examinations. I believe in driving students towards independent learning and making them able to apply their knowledge in real life scenarios. I like to dig deep into the roots of subjects to make sure the...

...at Rutgers University. I'm currently studying Biology and Mathematics. I have a great curiosity to learn new things and I hope to be able to inspire the same interests in people I tutor. I also work as a summer camp counselor where I tutor elementary and middle school school students math and reading lessons. I tutor mostly math because that is my favorite subject but I can also tutor sciences such as biology and chemistry.

...prep and math, science, history, and other subjects at the high school level. Beyond just helping improve students standardized test scores, I strive to inspire students to be confident, lifelong learners by getting to know what drives them individually and connecting this to their broader professional plans. The most rewarding aspect of tutoring for me is seeing my tutees understand something for the first time, and as a future teacher, I look forward to facilitating...

...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' to success.
