Duane
Applied Mathematics Tutor • +41 Subjects
Besides having fun, going out, playing video games, traveling to different parts of the city, reading, playing billiards (or pool) and everything else. I am just a regular college graduate looking to advance and expand my knowledge to fulfill my career goal as an engineer. As of now, I am in possession of two degrees. In 2014 I received my Bachelor's of Science in Mathematics at Allegheny College, located in Meadville, Pennsylvania. I recently received my certificate of completion of Mechanical Engineering and Industrial Design in the New York City College of Technology Green Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative Certificate Program in Brooklyn, NY. As of now, I work multiple jobs mostly in education and tutoring. For starters, I have been tutoring since June 2013. I work with a group of students that are widely diverse in age, grade level and subject difficulty. My experience with teaching made me realize how much merit there is to helping other students succeed with their academic endeavors. Personally, I know how it is to struggle with difficult subjects and having no one to assist in understanding the concepts better and I want to make sure nobody else falls in that predicament. For as long as I can remember, Mathematics has always been my favorite subject. Hence the reason I went to college to study it in the first place. And as of now I have been teaching and tutoring students on Mathematics and Science, working with people such as yourselves on an individual level to make sure you understand all of the subject material clearly and concisely. My teaching philosophy is to explain everything simply and thoroughly along with some practice both inside and outside the classroom. As of now, my teaching style has been very flexible to accommodate every student's individual learning needs and styles to ensure full efficiency. Besides being flexible, I also like to explain things in an alternative perspective to show students different ways of thinking outside the box. My father always used to tell me never do a half done job for anybody. If it is worth doing, it should be done right. As your tutor/ teacher, my job is not done until you succeed. I look forward to working with you all and I will help you to the best of my abilities.

Siddharth
AP Statistics Tutor • +30 Subjects
As an avid advocate for education, I possess a strong passion for helping students maximize their potential and succeed in their academic endeavors. As a Bronx Science alum and a current student at Stony Brook University, double majoring in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics and Statistics, I am familiar with academic challenges, especially in the STEM field. I am well equipped with the knowledge and the skills necessary to make a profound impact on the lives of students. At The Bronx High School of Science, I received my education through a rigorous academic system that aimed to maximize my learning capabilities and comprehension. For my great academic success in high school, I received offers from the prestigious Carnegie Mellon University and Cornell University. Although I chose to attend Stony Brook University due to distance and monetary reasons, I have a track record of success that I wish to share with my fellow students. Throughout my educational journey, I had the honor to work with a plethora of students from various backgrounds through different tutoring platforms. Whether it was one-on-one, small group instruction, or even lectures, I have witnessed firsthand the transformative power of a quality education. These encounters have enhanced my knowledge of various learning styles and stoked my desire to create an encouraging and empowering environment for all students. As a tutor, I specialize in many courses that range from introductory high school algebra to college-level courses like Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus. I have tutored students in subjects such as AP Calculus BC, AP Statistics, AP Physics 1, SAT Math, and SHSAT. My students went on to score 4s and 5s on their AP exams, 750+ on their SATs, and 500+ on their SHSAT. The cornerstone of my success as a teacher lies in a fundamental belief in my teaching philosophy: nothing in education is inherently beyond understanding. I believe that any student, regardless of their background and prior knowledge on the subject, can grasp even the most challenging concepts if provided with the right support and tailored instruction. By acknowledging this, I actively work to identify and cater to these unique learning styles. I understand that students aren't cookie-cutter-made, and whether it is through visual aids, discussions, interactives, or a combination of these techniques, I strive to engage students in a way that resonates with their personal learning preferences. Beyond academia, I have a profound interest in American football, cricket, playing basketball, and gaming. Additionally, I like spending time with my loved ones. I believe that spending time doing what you love helps you feel more relaxed and focused when it's time to study. I try to incorporate fun and education at the same time so that my students can feel relaxed and optimize their learning abilities. In conclusion, my education, experience, diverse interests, and passion for helping students make me a dedicated and empathetic tutor. I am committed to empowering students to overcome challenges, cultivate a love for learning, and achieve their academic goals.

Sophia
Public Speaking Tutor • +42 Subjects
At a time when so many tutors use AI to create lesson plans, conduct research, and even grade students' work, I want to reiterate my committment to not using AI in our work together. Hi! I'm Sophia, a writer, editor, tutor, and voice teacher. I graduated Vanderbilt University with my Bachelor's in History, a second major in Voice, a concentration in Musicology, and a minor in Italian. I'm currently pursuing my Master's. I have extensive experience with academic writing and am also an award-winning creative writer. If you need help editing an essay, college personal statement, or writing of any kind, I'm here! I tutor middle school through collegiate humanities (think ELA and History), as well as Voice and musical academics (Musicology, Music Theory, Solfege, Conducting, etc.) for students of all ages.
Alana
AP Calculus AB Tutor • +33 Subjects
Hello there! I would love to work with your student! I was the valedictorian of my high school, earning my diploma with a 4.6328 GPA (the highest in the history of my school), and I recently graduated from Cornell University with a Bachelor's in Neurobiology and Behavior as I pursue God's calling for me to become a neurosurgeon. I was the captain of the Peer Tutoring Lab at my high school from 10th to 12th grade, so I have experience tutoring students from elementary to high school level. Because I understand the importance of fully grasping material and believe that students all approach content differently, I am a patient teacher willing to explain the same concept in different ways multiple times. I strive to create a warm, caring learning experience in my sessions because every student deserves a positive academic support system. I earned a score of 5 on both AP English Exams, a 1530 on the SAT, and won the National Merit Scholarship Competition in 2022. I'd love to work with you!
