I will help you reach your math goals! I am a former Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Geometry teacher. I also have experience tutoring middle school and elementary school students. I earned my undergraduate degree in Economics from Brown University, and my Masters in Education from Loyola Marymount University. I currently work as the Associate Director of Programs for a non profit organization that puts student centered curriculums in schools and after school programs. I seek every opportunity to help students succeed and feel good about their academic experiences. As a tutor, I believe in learning about my student and his or her needs first, listening to my students goals, setting collective goals, and emphasizing growth (growth WILL HAPPEN!). I stay patient and provide specific steps for concepts. I am clear in my responses, I ask questions, I check for understanding, and I remain encouraging!

DEGREE:I majored in Business Administration. The courses included: Introduction to Business, Business Communications, Written Communication Skills, English Composition, Advanced Composition (Scientific/Technical), Fundamentals of Speech, Principles of Accounting I and II, Business Math, Business Law, Macroeconomics and Microeconomics, Ethics, Statistics, etc.COUNTRIES TRAVELED TO:The first time I traveled out of the U.S., I went to Asia for 2 weeks. I visited China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan. In 2012/2013, I returned to Taiwan for 10 months. At that time, I studied Chinese at National Taiwan Normal Universitys Mandarin Training Center. Since I had some time before my classes at the Mandarin Training Center began, I traveled first to Hong Kong for 10 days, then to Guilin, China for 3 days. Most of my traveling has been in Asia, and I lived in Taiwan for about 3-1/2 years. In 2013, I went to Vietnam for 2 weeks. I traveled with a group of Vietnamese and Taiwanese friends from the north to the south of Vietnam. In 2005, I took a cruise from Florida, U.S.A. to Mexico, Jamaica and The Grand Cayman Islands. Twice, I have traveled to the Philippines including a recent vacation on Boracay Island. I enjoy exploring other countries with the local residents whenever possible. It's a good way to get away from the tourist traps.TEACHING EXPERIENCE:For nearly 2-1/2 years, I taught English 1 on 1 to business professionals in Taiwan. The focus was helping them perform their jobs more efficiently in the global economy. I also had a few students whom I helped for study aborad using the IELTS method. As part of a training exercise, I also taught two 2-hour long Business English courses. I have 32 hours of teaching experience in an elementary school. I taught 9 different levels of English to children from Kindergarten through 7th grade. Generally speaking, I am confident and relaxed in the teaching environment. I am also open to learning from more experienced teachers than myself.WORKS PUBLISHED:Casualties of War is a short story relating the experiences of two young men, who were sent to fight in the Vietnam War. They both returned, but the effects on their lives were tragic.PREFERRED MAGAZINES/BOOKS:The Watchtower and Awake magazines are my most frequently read magazines. The Watchtower discusses Bible topics in detail. The Awake reports on world news, as well as, human interest topics. Just for fun, I also like to read The No. 1 Ladies' Detective agency by Alexander McCall Smith. He is a Scottish author, but the story is set in Botswana, Africa. I enjoy the witty humor. Of course, I also read articles related to businesses from such magazines as Harvard Business Review, The New York Times, The Washington Post, etc.

I am a current student at Georgia Tech. My major is Computer Science. As a second year in college, I have confidence in better connecting with young students. My teaching philosophy is "slowly but surely." I am very patient and do not want to pressure students to move at a fast pace. Whatever pace the student may wish to take, I will follow it and do my best for the student to understand the content.

My name is Yajing Ni. I immigrated from China to America at the age of 11. Through this experience I was able to speak fluently in Chinese Mandarin and English. I have taught Chinese to native American student for past two years. I enjoy bringing Chinese language and culture to the students through interactive and fun interactions.

Education is the greatest equalizer...I believe this phrase effectively encapsulates my perception of what exactly education is, and should be.Regardless of where you come from, education can take you farther and higher than you ever thought possible.As your tutor, I will work to empower you to get to any destination you want your unique educational journey!

I am a former New York City public school teacher with experience in English, journalism, economics and global history. I believe that all children can learn and that it is my responsibility to help each student discover which style of learning suits them best. My goal is to help students build stamina—important in an age of increased standardized testing—and provide learning strategies that will help them become life-long independent learners.One of my favorite ways to teach is through the use of questioning—a strategy that dates back thousands of years to Socrates. During tutoring sessions, observers will notice that I will usually ask a series of questions designed to allow the learner to reach a correct conclusion on his or her own. This teaching strategy develops critical-thinking skills and provides a sense of personal satisfaction to the learner that does not come from being simply provided with answers.To keep things interesting and aid retention, students may also be asked to assume the role of teacher during a tutoring session. (Research suggests that student retention increases to 90 percent when the student is asked to teach a concept or skill to another person.)Also, students will sometimes be asked to tell me everything they know about a topic, then be encouraged to write down a series of questions they may have. Our tutoring session then may focus on strategies to help the student answer his or her own questions. (This format for tutoring sessions is suited to students who are struggling in a given subject area and to those who are expecting to continue their education after high school.)As a high school teacher, I was known for using technology in my classroom in order to help every student learn at his or her own pace. Students often participated in online discussions using their cell phones and created essays that were posted online for other students to review.Before becoming a teacher, I was a newspaper reporter and manager at national magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Fitness. During my career in journalism, I learned that the written word is a powerful tool. I decided to become a teacher to empower students through the use of writing.

I have loved both being a teacher because it gives me an opportunity to be a part of someone's life in a positive and nurturing manner. Prior to teaching, I was a girl scout leader, CCD teacher, and most importantly a mom, and the latter role has been my most rewarding because I loved being our child's first teacher. Teaching is truly a gift, and I believe that each student deserves the best teaching and tutoring methods I have available to me.

I graduated from Tufts University with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and a minor in Computer Science. I was the Music Director of an a cappella group at Tufts for two years and gained experience working with students one-on-one to teach difficult passages and sections of songs. I currently am a Music teacher at a local Sunday school in Somerville, and enjoy working with children and young adults of all ages. I have taken the LSAT and tutor the entire test, though I feel particularly strong about the Logic Games and Logical Reasoning sections.I look forward to working with you!

I am currently updating my teacher certification through Arizona State University, and will be receiving my bachelor's degree in May of 2021 in Secondary Education.I have experience in teaching middle school and high school general science and biology, respectively. I have had a passion for the sciences, because they include a broad range of branches that give opportunities to ask questions and explore a vast array of content.In college I have tutored algebra, geometry, as well as trigonometry. I enjoy teaching mathematics since they tend to be logical and very straight forward.Something that one of my mentor teachers said sticks with me to this day: "They don't care how much you know, unless they know how much you care." Since, I have made it my personal goal to live by that statement. My goal is to build a mutual relationship with my students before I facilitate effective teaching practices.

Little did I know becoming an educator would be more than a career choice; it became a time for my own character education. The years I served as a classroom teacher were as much about me learning as they were about instructing others. Since then, my commitment to support the development and self-improvement of others has not wavered.Ten years as a public school teacher equates to approximately 2,000 students and was a pivotal time in cultivating skills as an instructional designer. It was also critical in honing my abilities as a facilitator who successfully engages participants and adapts instruction to meet diverse learning styles.I am NYS certified English teacher with ten years of instructional, design and assessment experience for both general and honors programs, and a Master of Science degree in Adolescence Education. I specialize in tutoring English, Literature, Writing, Vocabulary, SAT, ACT, NYS English Regents, and general topics related to language arts.
