Certified Tutors From New York University

...in the classroom (despite their teacher's best intentions). In classrooms these days, it is easy for a child to slip back and not reach their fullest potential--not with me! I am fully dedicated to make sure that each of my students reaches their highest potential, no matter where they stand academically. Through my teaching experience,...

...instructor reaches beyond simply teaching the lesson; I also aim to spark my student's interests in the subject and make the lesson fun for them. I know from personal experience that learning any lesson is easier when one is interested and enjoys the learning experience. To that effect, I use concepts and analogies that relate...

...B.S. in English Education from NYU. While attending school, I worked with graduate and undergraduate students on their college writing assignments. Prior to this, I was a 7th grade English teacher working with younger pupils on grammatical structure. I think it is important for students to have confidence and feel relaxed in their approach to...

I'm an NYU (New York University) student pursuing a degree in Economics. I'm a hands on tutor who loves students, and I'm passionate about sharing my interests. I graduated high school with a bilingual diploma in Spanish, am familiar with Spanish language and culture, and have traveled widely. I'm also an avid writer and blogger.

...both here and in New York, as well as prep for other standardized tests such as the ISEE, SSAT, and HSPT. I also teach a bi-weekly SAT Prep course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat...

...City and in New Jersey. Although I was completely comfortable lecturing during my large classes, as an instructor, I made every effort to work one-on-one with my students during office hours and through appointments. I am currently working as a research associate, yet I plan on teaching at the college level again in the future....

...ACT. I believe I have a talent for communicating ideas and information in various ways to help others learn. I recognized this skill in my junior year of college when I took non-traditional Organic Chemistry. This course differed from standard Organic Chemistry classes in that it was based on small ( four person) groups of...

...their goals at all levels and ages.* *I have helped students develop and maintain goal-oriented study habits, and I work directly with students and assist them in building up the confidence needed in their studies. As a result, I consistently receive a 5-star rating, continuation study from students, and positive feedback from students and parents.

...have tutored students ranging from the 2nd grade all the way up to College. I specialize in teaching all levels of math which includes high school’s Algebra and Geometry, as well as the SAT or ACT Math. I also teach various history Courses which include US History and Global History. My teaching philosophy is that...

...the opportunity to hone my skills as an instructor-across multiple departments. I bring a deeply entrenched belief in the development of student "idea." I see "idea" a finessed & nuanced, malleable entity that students themselves form and put to work in their thinking/ writing. This pushes them beyond the routinized 'thesis statement' and pushes them...

...on both my creative and analytical sides when teaching and developing curriculum, especially in the areas of science-arts. Some of my fondest moments have been when a student mastered a complicated skill or concept with ease because they were so highly focused on the "fun" project or experiment. I bring this same creativity and passion...

...music teacher, but I have been working with students in a variety of academic settings for almost 8 years. I understand the tools and strategies needed to tutor and guide students with their studies. I have been focusing on tutoring students one-on-one in the past few years. I look forward to working with you!

...and write out notes and examples on paper as I explain concepts and work through problem questions. The notes I write are yours to keep when I am done, so you can keep them to review on your own at any time. I tend to incorporate practice problems into my lesson to reinforce what I've...

...natural world. In my senior year of high school, I got my first tutoring opportunity. I tutored Calculus to another student from my high school and I've enjoyed teaching ever since. I always try to do my best to prepare for each tutoring session and help the students to build confidence in the subjects. I...

...lesson in my last semester of university, and received a B- for it! Turned out to be the worst grade in my student history, and robbed me of my Magna Cum Laude by 0.003 points! Still bitter? Yes. I love travelling and I've studied abroad two times. So far I've been to around 10 countries....

...curriculum for the After School Writing Program. For this program, I have developed a curriculum that includes critical examination of writers such as Ernest Hemingway, Virginia Woolf, David Mitchell and Junot Diaz. The writing component of the curriculum includes exercises aimed at developing the student's fundamental writing skills, including character and setting, structure and developing...

...last 12 years. Throughout my early years of service working with various ages of students in middle school, high school, and at the college level, I had concluded that I could best serve mankind by teaching inner city students in secondary school to learn to read and write through the appreciation of literature.

...ideas thrown at a blank page. Writing, even academic, can be very personal which is why I believe positive reinforcement is the best method for tutoring this subject. So often, it's easy to forget to identify what students are doing right in their work and only focus on the critical. I make a point of...

...I'm in Fort Worth, with an MBA I picked up along the way (also from UT Austin) -- apparently I can't stay out of school for long. As the oldest of three kids, I've been teaching informally for as long as I can remember. I've also volunteered with Austin Partners in Education, working with middle school...

...again. I have tutored for about five years now and I enjoy it very much. I took quite a few AP classes in high school, so I understand how fast-paced some classes are and how overwhelming that can be for the student. I believe in spending the extra time to make sure that the student...
