I am a first-year student at Columbia University in the City of New York with a prospective major in economics-political science. I am a native New Yorker, having attended the Brearley School for grades 9-12. Having experienced the college process firsthand, I am passionate about tutoring students in test prep and college essay writing, as I know how important success in these areas is. I have loved learning all my life, and I try my hardest to impart a similar feeling to the students I work with. My teaching style emphasizes patience and practice, which I believe is the best way for students to reach success.

I first discovered tutoring in high school when I worked as a peer mentor for freshmen, helping them with geometry and physics while developing studying and test-taking techniques to help them gain confidence and comfort with learning the material. This position was tutoring + mentoring, and I have carried that mentality and teaching philosophy into all my classroom and tutoring work since. In my 4 years of tutoring, I have gained deeper understanding of the diverse and intricate ways in which people learn. I have also developed my own abilities to inspire enthusiasm, build confidence, and help students grow as independent thinkers.Outside of tutoring, I am a student at the University of Chicago majoring in mathematics & comparative human development. I sing in an acapella group, play violin, and on weekends I love to go for bike rides or long runs, see local theater and music performances, and explore the city of Chicago. Through my studies and bike rides and runs, I enjoy working hard and building personalized, step-by-step plans for pursuing the goals I set. Nonetheless, I also believe in the importance of having fun and finding enjoyment in my day-to-day life, which I do through music and geographic exploration. I believe that this enthusiasm, curiosity, and steady work ethic are the keys to achieving goals once thought impossible, and I hope to inspire such a mindset in the people with whom I work.

Hello, there!My name is Sarah Manns, and I am a 19-year-old Sophomore at the University of Texas at Dallas. I’m currently working towards a Bachelor's Degree in Literary Studies, minoring in Psychology, and am working towards teaching certification. Afterwards, I intend to work towards my Masters Degree in Humanities with a focus on Studies in Literature. I have been a part of the Future Teacher Internship program at my high school, worked as a teaching intern/assistant, and am currently employed as an AVID tutor. I have worked with students ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade, though my specialty lies with older kids. With a GPA of 4.5, I was ranked number 10 in my high school graduating class of over 650 students, and my current GPA at UTD is 3.97.Ever since I was about ten years old, I’ve known I’ve wanted to teach. Helping others is my passion, and I want to have a positive impact on the lives of those I meet. There’s nothing better than the euphoric feeling I get when I know I’ve helped a student succeed, changed their lives for the better, or helped them understand something they once struggled with. Even the little things matter to me, and if nothing else, I’d like to at least bring a smile to every students’ face. I’m a very empathetic person and I hope that when I tutor or eventually teach, my students will feel comfortable to be themselves around me and know that they have someone to turn to for guidance in any situation. I respect each and every student as an individual, as a human being, and as an equal. I don’t view my students as inferior, and by making this level of respect clear, hopefully my students will feel more inclined to express themselves and trust in me. I only want the best for my students, and I will work hard to ensure that every one of them succeeds at their goals at least in some way.I am comfortable tutoring an array of subjects, but I would feel most comfortable tutoring English or math. Any subject that deals with the basic middle school curriculum is fine for me to tackle, thanks to my experience working as a middle school AVID tutor. Even if, for some reason, I am somewhat rusty or unfamiliar with a particular subject, I can use the AVID method to draw upon what the student already knows, ask pertinent and engaging questions, keep the student focused and on task, and guide the student to reach the conclusion fairly independently. Since I’ve recently graduated high school (2015), most of the material is still relatively fresh in my mind. At most, I’ll need a quick refresher on a certain topic, but I will be quick to remember and highly effective in helping a struggling student gain a better understanding. I have experience with taking standardized tests like the SAT, PSAT, TAKS, AND STAAR (among others) and with taking multiple AP classes and tests. I’ve been a very successful student in my academic career, and am quite enthusiastic about passing down knowledge or tips to any student who wants them.I have a fairly flexible schedule and am willing to change things up depending on the needs of my clients. I will be extremely positive, cooperative, and willing to meet any needs that you or your child have. I want to see happiness, success, and light bulbs going off in my students’ heads! I hope you’ll consider me as a good fit for your student.Thank you very much!

I am a graduate of Mississippi State University, Freed Hardeman University, Mississippi Valley State University, and NOVA Southeastern University. I also, received an undergraduate degree in Home Teaching, Curriculum and Instructional Design, and Curriculum and Instructional Management and Administration. I have an extensive tutoring background in Reading, Math, writing, English Language Arts, and Science in Elementary and lower Middle School area. I am a former Elementary/Middle School teacher. While I tutor road range of subjects, I am most passionate about Reading, Grammar, Writing, and math and science in elementary/6th grade. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for the Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the Reading and Writing portion of the test. I am a firm believer that all children can learn. I believe that it is absolutely essential that my students share that same belief. It is important to me that my students believe in themselves and learn all that they can. In my spare time, I enjoy reading a good book, playing wordsearch, and playing Woody Block to keep my mind sharp and enrich my life. I also enjoy travel (be it virtual or in person), exercising, and going to football games. Another passion of mine is cooking the old-fashion way.

I am an International Studies and South Asian Studies student at Emory University, but I'm starting to wonder if I should have been an Education major! I've been tutoring students of all ages for the past four years, and I truly enjoy it. I'm happy to say that my students have taught me as much as I've taught them.I recognize that each individual has a different learning style, and, as a result, I've learned to be flexible and personalize my teaching methods for each and every student. I want my students to be interested in the material, so I like to bring educational games and videos into my teaching. My clients are always expected to be actively engaged during a session, so I will never talk at a student or give away answers. The idea is to cultivate a discussion that encourages the pupil to think critically. Most importantly, I believe that every student needs a comprehensive, cohesive support system. I make sure to communicate with my pupils' parents and teachers so that each of us can better understand the student's needs.

I am a producer and illustrator living in NYC. I graduated from university two years ago where I was premed and studied cognitive neuroscience and Spanish. I welcome tutoring in Spanish, maths and sciences, and in any creative field. I have lots of real world experience balancing a left and right brained lifestyle. I am passionate about how useful it is to capitalize on both your left and right brain at a young age to encourage creative problem solving. I have experience tutoring at the elementary, middle, high school, and college level. I know this is an unprecedented time for all, especially for those students and parents trying to adapt to a new way of education. I am happy to help you navigate and adapt, whether that's through providing supplementary material for a student who misses the challenge of school or providing tailored support for a student who is experiencing difficulty with independent learning. Please reach out and we can discuss your learning style and needs!

I am a fully certified as a bilingual elementary school teacher, with degrees and certifications from the University of Arizona. After graduating in 2015 I decided to put teaching on hold and pursue my passion of travel. I have been working as a flight attendant for United Airlines since June of 2015 and am planning to do this for the foreseeable future. That being said, I really miss teaching and am looking for way to immerse myself back into the education field part-time.

I am a biology, physics, chemistry, and math tutor, and I hope my academic achievements can catch your eye: masters student in epidemiology at Columbia, Biology degree from Washington University in St. Louis (14th nationally), extensive coursework in chemistry and physics, lab work in immunology and genetics, GRE scores in the 90th percentile, and MCAT scores in the 91st percentile.However, what I find much more important for your students is my experience and love of teaching, and I do not think anything illustrates that better than my time in Korea. I had been tutoring for about five years when I decided to move to South Korea. I went there because I wanted to get more exposure to teaching while also indulging in some adventure. Foreign English programs can vary widel, but mine was not a coasting position. I taught between 16 and 30 hour-long classes a week and then had to design lesson plans, run language club, write homework and tests, and then grade them. What is amazing, however, was I stayed longer than my contract. Even after being on my feet and using my voice for 30 hours a week, I loved the job. I ended up staying there two and a half years and would probably still be there if a career in science had not been calling me. Teaching is not simply a way of getting me through school. It has been a part of my entire adult life, and I do not see myself stopping anytime soon.I am very interested in the subjects I teach, and I make it my mission to pass some of my passion on to my students. On more than one occasion students have gone from telling me how much they hate a subject to actually telling me they like it. I also was very quiet as a child and am empathetic to shy students (in fact I often find them the most rewarding).In my personal life I like to read especially sci-fi and fantasy. I recently picked the clarinet back up after playing in high school, and I am just trying to soak up the city while I am here. My girlfriend and I enjoy going to Broadway shows, going to comedy clubs, and participating in "escape the room."I hope you have an idea of what I would be like as a tutor, and I hope to hear from you soon so we can begin working together. Thanks so much.

My goal is to impart the knowledge I have attained through my own education to students who need help. As a highly experienced college student who is great with children of all ages, I am offering my tutoring services to continue your child's education. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions you might have!

I'm a first-year medical student at McGovern (UT Houston) Medical School. I graduated from Louisiana State University in 2018, where I received my Bachelor of Science in biochemistry and a minor in chemistry. I offer tutoring for science courses, including biology, chemistry, biochemistry, organic chemistry, anatomy/physiology, and more, as these are the subjects that I am most passionate about. Considering that I am still a student myself, a strong skill of mine is connecting with my students and breaking down complicated subjects in a way that they can understand. In my spare time, I enjoy watching and playing sports, reading, playing video games, and working out at a local gym.
