Hi! I am a currently employed teacher within the NYCDOE. I co-teach Algebra 1, Algebra 2/Trigonometry and Living Environment. I am a firm believer that all students can learn and that the key lies in finding the correct motivation. I am able to balance rigor with the appropriate amount of fun to ensure that steady progress is made. I look forward to working with you and your student in order to help them be successful in their academic endeavors.

I have a passion for helping others, and I am experienced in tutoring all grade levels K-12. I enjoy social interactions, and this makes it easy and fun to work with students. I believe that my style changes to fit the student, but it is always generally light-hearted and enjoyable. I learn as much from you as you'll learn from me, and I look forward to working with you.

I am a University of Texas - Austin graduate with honors, BS in Molecular Biology. I also hold an MS in Biology from University of California - San Diego, specializing in Cell Biology.My tutoring experience is, frankly, pretty massive; I have been a tutor almost continuously since 2000. In some cases I taught the same student for several years. Most of these students were international students taught in various Asian countries, but all instruction was in English and the students were from dozens of different nations, including of course many Americans. I also have considerable classroom teaching experience; I have taught Science, Business and Math courses at several high schools and also worked at numerous private schools of different kinds.Due to my academic background my greatest strength as a tutor is in the area of IB Biology and Chemistry, AP Biology and Chemistry, and university freshman courses in the same subjects. However, I can tutor essentially any Science and Math taught in high school. I consider myself an extremely proficient Math tutor especially with grade 10, Algebra II, Trigonometry and any course below that level. IB Higher Math is a bit of a hard slog for me (as for most students!), but IB Core Math and Math Studies are no problem.For university work, I can help with General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry and almost any undergraduate course in Biology or similar subjects, including Microbiology and Botany. My core strength is in Molecular Biology and Cell Biology. In addition, I can help with humanities assignments, including History, Business, Psychology and English. I am a very capable writer and researcher; I have approximately 80 published freelance writing credits. I also worked as a business journalist in Thailand and started a commercial technical editing firm in Shanghai. I have a fairly considerable business background and took a number of MBA courses including Statistics, Management Theory, Finance, and Accounting, with very high marks. I also studied Economics at freshman level and consider it one of the most enjoyable and illuminating courses I ever took.In addition to all this I do have a great deal of test prep experience, especially SAT. Besides SAT I have taught GMAT, GRE, SSAT, SAT-II and IB exam prep in various subjects, especially Biology, Chemistry and Business.My tutoring experience has taught me that almost every student can benefit from tutoring. For gifted students the right tutor can expose them to advanced ideas and connections that they otherwise would not encounter for years, if ever. One of my most talented former students started studying university-level science material in 8th grade. He was later admitted, with my help, to summer programs at Cornell and Harvard that allowed high school students to work in university laboratories; ultimately he went to Berkeley, then medical school and is now a neurosurgeon. I am proud that I had something to do with his success. For students with serious academic difficulties, a tutor can patiently teach them the basic skills they need to surmount their immediate obstacles, while at the same time laying the groundwork for future achievements that in some cases they or their parents would have thought impossible.In our society, it is unfortunately the case that classroom instruction is often ineffective. In my view, the main reasons are a lax classroom environment that does not promote learning; low expectations; and unfortunately, a relatively low standard of professionalism expected of classroom teachers. Although I have seen both sides of this issue as a classroom teacher myself, and there are definitely some brilliant and dedicated classroom teachers out there, this last problem is a major reason why tutoring can be so helpful. During my tutorials, I have heard countless kids say "I didn't get that at all when Mr X taught it in class, but when YOU explained it it was so simple!"At the same time, tutoring is not magic. In particular, a tutor cannot do much with a student who is fundamentally unmotivated, although I have learned ways to build motivation given adequate time. In general I feel that tutoring really helps students to achieve their potential.In terms of my teaching style, I am very direct, professional and no nonsense. To the limits of my capabilities, I try to provide whatever the client wants and will do whatever works in terms of approach and lesson activities, adjusting my methods according to client needs.As for my interests, I have a lot, including writing, reading, travel (I have been all over Asia and lived in several Asian countries), cooking, photography, racquetball and football (both kinds), among others. I have also visited dozens of universities and worked a lot of different jobs, which is helpful when clients need help with university or graduate school applications, or want advice about career options.

Hello! I'm a senior biology major at UMass Amherst. I have spent much of my time experimenting with study skills and problem solving methods, both in my own studies, students, and in group studying with peers. I'm here to work with you to figure out exactly what works for you so you can succeed, as well as clarify any and all points of confusion in a variety of subjects. I look forward to meeting you!

I'm a passionate teacher and native Arabic speaker. I teach because I love helping others reach their full potential and succeed in their studies. I have been teaching since I was in high school. I majored in Computer Science in college because I enjoy programming and creating creative content online. I have also taught English as a second language for 4 years. I taught TOEFL and IELTS preparation courses, as well as general English and conversation. I have a post graduate degree in eLearning and content development. I use these skills to build online courses and instructional design.In my free time, I enjoy riding my bike for long distance, I love outdoors and sunny days. I play video games in my free time and I love watching documentary movies about space and animals.

I graduated from American University with a BA in Theater Activism comprised of performance, government studies, and international peace and conflict resolution. During school and since graduation I've collaborated on a number of performative social justice projects as an actor, director, writer, and producer in America and abroad, and now I'm pursuing my MFA in movement-based ensemble theater with a focus on acrobatics. From this work I've cultivated a fiery curiosity that I strive to fuel within the high school- and college-aged students I coach, challenging them to develop not just aptitude but passion for their studies. I tutor various levels in Mandarin Chinese, Test Prep, Mathematics, and English, with a particular love for critical reading and writing of dramatic literature. Balancing process and structure is key for me so I make sure we start each session by setting goals for that session and then returning to them at the end, thereby ensuring the student can point to a measure of accomplishment within our time together. Aside from front handsprings, I absolutely love fantasy novels, science fiction and video games, particularly RPGs and survival horror. I'm always thinking about my next camping trip and when I'll make the time to get my motorcycle license.

I believe all students have the ability to succeed and I enjoy offering support and guidance to remove barriers to academic success. I believe when students can be excited, hopeful and creative, they can thrive. I look forward to working with you!I have an undergraduate degree in Anthropology from Connecticut College and a Masters in Social Work from the University of California at Berkeley.I've enjoyed working with students in a variety of capacities. During undergrad I worked with kindergarten students for two years in a local elementary school.During my AmeriCorps program I tutored and mentored middle school students in reading and writing and at an environmental camp.I worked with high school students at the Institute for Community Research.I taught English at the Boston School of Modern Languages to children through adults.Additionally I worked for 3 years as a Community School Coordinator in two elementary schools. One of my tasks was coordinating and organizing two tutoring programs.I enjoy writing and supporting students in their own writing, whether it is a creative writing assignment for school or a college application essay. I have published short articles, poetry and a book chapter. I also have proofreading and editing experience.Additionally I am excited to support students in reading comprehension. Reading was something I became excited about early on in life and I love to support students in increasing their comprehension and enjoyment.

I am a bilingual teacher looking to share my passion for teaching others a new language. I believe that to be bilingual is a benefit to increase your knowledge of other cultures, to travel and get better opportunities in your jobs.

As a tutor with over 2 years of experience and a current student myself, I am very familiar with the struggles of other students as well as methods to help them overcome those struggles and better their understanding of the topic of choice. I completed my Bachelor of Physics degree at the University of North Georgia, and I am currently a Mechanical Engineering student at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech). Over the last couple of years, I have tutored students from middle school through undergraduate levels both privately and through university institutions in various mathematics, physics, and computer science (Coding languages and the like) topics. My teaching style focuses on "learning how to think", or metacognition as I believe it is highly important when it comes to education. Anyone can prosper in any educational environment/topic if they know how to approach the said topic. In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, playing soccer, hanging out with friends, and reading.

I believe that true knowledge is attained only by striving and struggling with guidance from those who have done it before. There is no subject matter or concept that cannot be attained by a person who is willing to put in the time and effort to gain the higher level of understanding. My goal is to guide students in their path of learning in subject areas that I have traversed in the past.I am, and always will be a student. I am currently learning Arabic and also using online courses to teach myself core topics in computer science. To teach the student, I really try to put myself in his or her place. From there, I can map out the strategy to reach a level of understanding for a given topic.I am really passionate about Mathematics and really see tutoring as a way to keep those core concepts I learned in school alive in my mind. I look forward to bringing the passion and excitement for the subject area to my students.
