I graduated from New York University in 2008 - even though my degree was in Music Business, after taking some substitute teaching work I realized I enjoyed working with students. I began working full-time as an instructional aide with middle and high school students. I enrolled in Fitchburg State's Masters in Special Education program in 2010 with the goal of becoming a licensed special educator. Students seem to get the most when they ask me about maths and sciences, and now I have a bit of a reputation around my building for having strengths in those subjects.In my mind, working with a student (especially in math) can be something like a game: there's a goal, there's someone to collaborate with, there are strategies to use, and if you let yourself you can have fun doing it. The mindset of curiosity and enthusiasm that comes from a game is powerful when used in a math or science setting. I also make a point of emphasizing thinking actively about different strategies when doing schoolwork, studying, reading, and test-taking. I believe the best student is someone who actively thinks about what they do and whether they can improve, and the best tutor is someone who coaches them to that ability.When I'm not working, I enjoy gaming, making music, and reading.

I have spent four years in the US Army as a mentor, tutor, teacher, leader and supervisor to over 50 students and soldiers. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Texas A&M (2013), where I graduated with a 3.7 GPA and was recognized as Cum Laude (Top 10-15%). Due to my extensive experience as an instructor for the Army, I am extremely skilled in assisting students to bridge any gaps they may have in the skills, or knowledge they need to succeed. I have spent the past eight months as a private tutor for a wide range of students with diverse needs and abilities. Teaching is my passion, and I humbly look forward to working with you.It is my firm belief that all students have the ability and potential to excel in any subject, with the proper instruction, motivation, and focus. My areas of expertise include, but are not limited to: Reading and Writing (college, all levels) Biology and Chemistry (12th Grade and Freshman-level college), Psychology and Philosophy (all levels), Mathematics (Geometry and Below), Test preparation (SAT, ACT, STAAR, ASVAB, GED, LSAT, Study Skills, and many more!)I am also trained in assisting students deal with any test or performance-related anxiety they may have. Due to my extensive psychological background, I utilize individualized instruction methods that are matched with each student's personality and learning style. I believe in a skills-based approach. I wish to train each student to be their own best teacher. Not only do I want each student to master the subject we work on together- I want them to develop flexible skills and critical thinking practices to enable them to approach other subjects with greater confidence after our time together ends.In my spare time, I thoroughly enjoy reading, writing, and the study of psychology, philosophy, and physical fitness. I am also fascinated by sociology and the study of human history.I recently took my Law School entrance exam, and am studying the GRE for Clinical Psychology. My long term goal is to utilize my psychological understanding and legal expertise to shape public policies in ways that empower humanity and inform our social and educational institutions. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to work with each student and parent, so please feel free to contact me with anyquestions!

I encourage you to take a moment to view my personal website www.eratnertutor.comI have been a successful tutor for over ten years specializing in SAT and PSAT preparation including reading comprehension, grammar, and essay and term paper writing. SAT and PSAT tutees have consistently achieved 150 200 point gains. Libraries throughout CT (including New Haven, Wallingford, East Haven, Cheshire, Bethany, Woodridge, and Madison) have acknowledged these successes by repeatedly selecting me as presenter of library sponsored SAT preparation seminars. (The seminars have garnered substantial positive online and print publicity).These successes as well as extraordinarily positive references from parents, students, teachers, and school principals are set forth in my website: www.eratnertutor.com . I urge the reader to check them out. I am hugely proud of them. They present a more complete and personal description than I could possibly present in a Personal Statement.My expertise also extends to the law. I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania Law School (widely recognized as one of the premier law schools in the United States) and a former practicing attorney and law professor. I have helped students to prepare for the LSAT and to draft the Personal Statement required by law schools.I was a Modern Languages major in college which has proved invaluable in tutoring ESL which I have done for several years as a volunteer for several CT libraries.And, finally, I am the author of several books published by prestigious companies, including Commerce Clearing House and Simon & Schuster. This experience, including working with professional editors, has informed my tutoring in all aspects of SAT Reading Comprehension, Writing and Grammar, and essay and term paper writing.I pride myself in bringing out the best in my tutees, in making them feel valued and respected. They reciprocate those feelings and become both challenged and motivated. The results show it. My education speaks for itself: Trinity College (B.A., CUM LAUDE), University of Pennsylvania Law School (JURIS DOCTOR). Education and the success of my tutees means everything to me. Our work together becomes a successful collaboration. I look forward to meeting you and working with you!

I have been a highly skilled middle school science teacher for the past three years in New York City public schools. This experience enables much familiarity with the standards and curriculums that some students may need help with in all subject areas. After tutoring some students I realized that they performed better in numerous tasks since they gained confidence and skills from our sessions. I believe that working one-on-one could develop better understanding of a subject since the tutor and student will work to meet specific goals with strengths and weaknesses kept in mind.

I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor of Sciences in Microbiology. My passion for education began when I worked as a teacher's aide at my local community theatre when I was thirteen. I continued that work until high school graduation, but throughout high school, I tutored geometry and algebra. In college, I was privileged to volunteer at the Columbus Literacy Council, helping adults learn how to read and write English. While working as an undergraduate research assistant, I trained new assistants in the maintenance and function of laboratory equipment. After graduation, I volunteered at the Homework Help Center at the Whetstone Branch of the Columbus Metropolitan Library. In 2015, I worked at the HHC as their Homework Help Associate, requiring me to work with students K-12 in a myriad of subjects, each needing me to produce a personal approach to how I could aid them. Currently, I work as an Image Analyst for the Ophthalmology department of Case Western Reserve University.The subjects I most prefer to tutor are the sciences and mathematics. I always viewed these subjects as logic games that happened to have a real life application. I believe in transparency between myself and my students. After all, "I don't know" is a valid and honest answer. Outside of academia, I love cooking, playing games with friends, and spending time with my wife.

Anytime I have the opportunity to lead a student to success, I will take it! I have been a teacher for the past 8 years and helping students achieve their academic goals has been an essential part of those years. I have taught middle and high school students in the areas of English Literature, United States History, United States Government, Economics with Personal Finance, and Cambridge Economics. In addition I have tutored students for the SAT and ACT English and essay sections and have held writing camps for college essay writing. I have taught and tutored students in preparation for state standardized tests in the area of English and U.S. History. In terms of my education, I have received a Bachelors of Arts in History Education and a Masters of Science in Urban Education. I am certified to teach grades 6-12 Social Sciences Subjects in the state of New Jersey and Florida. Finally I have passed the Praxis Social Studies Content Certification exam and am able to tutor anyone in this area. I am passionate about ensuring that students not simply pass but excel in their academics. Whether a high performing or struggling student, I will work with you to meet your goals.

My true passion for education stems from the continuing divide I see in our current education system. As an intern in the New York City Teaching Fellows program, I worked with underserved students in the Bronx. In the summer of 2009, I returned to the Midwest with a new appreciation for the teaching profession and a desire to make a difference. I entered the McCloskey business competition at the University of Notre Dame and was awarded a grant to implement REACTT at a publicly funded school and residential facility for children that are removed from their homes by child-protected services.I have experience professionally in Medical Device Sales and in Mortgage Lending. However, my true passion has always been education and at this point in my life I feel it is imperative to align my career satisfaction with how I dedicate myself professionally to society. I am extremely self-motivated, I enjoy working with young minds (because they're often the most creative), and lastly I enjoy great challenges. I intend to dedicate myself fully to finding the best way to teach each individual student and to never stop learning and improving myself.

I have been privileged to be a teacher for the past 41 years. I graduated from St. Cloud State University in Minnesota with an Elementary Education degree, and a math minor. I earned a Master of Science degree in Curriculum and Instruction, with a Math Specialist focus from Black Hills State University in South Dakota. I taught elementary grades 3, 5 and 6 for the first 8 years of my career. When I started teaching Middle School, I was able to concentrate on my passion, which is math. I taught 6th grade math for 21 years and 8th grade math for 6 years. The last three years of my teaching career I was a part-time math interventionist and an Online Math instructor, utilizing the Edgenuity Online program.I believe all students can learn. It is the responsibility of the instructor to provide opportunities for success and guidance in solving problems. There are many ways to approach math problem-solving. I support students in developing the math skills needed at each grade level and in applying those skills to problems they encounter. Through my years of teaching, I have learned how to assess student errors and help to alleviate them. I developed and taught a supplemental Math Enrichment program for At-Risk math students as a 6th grade math teacher. Students not only developed specific skills but also gained the confidence needed to be willing to attempt math problems.I am a patient, caring teacher who will evaluate a student's needs before addressing ways to improve their skills. I am confident in my ability to tutor math at all grade levels, as well as English/Language Arts and Social Studies.

I was born and raised in Iceland. I have a BA in French from University of Iceland and an MFA in Acting from Regent University. I have tutored for about a year in French and Languages. I find tutoring very rewarding and I am incredibly proud of all of my students. In my opinion, teaching is an art form that requires a committed focus from both the teacher and the student. Despite all the distractions of the world, my goal as a tutor is to be flexible with my students while offering them quality-learning sessions that have a clear point of concentration. My goal is to create a learning environment that has the freedom and clear channel of communication, which allows my students to explore the subject area and develop good learning habits. Further, communication is an essential element in quality teaching; therefore, I am committed to engaging with my students and connect with them to establish a fun and focused learning session.I have lived in Paris, Reykjavik, New York, Miami, and now Denver. I love to travel and discover and explore new places, cultures, people, and food. I also like sports, in particular, soccer. I am a huge Manchester United fan. Further, I am starting to appreciate American Football more and more, but I do not have a specific team that I root for maybe I will become a Broncos fan. Finally, reading has always been a big part of my life, and I always have to have a least one book on my nightstand. Right now, I prefer to read Scandinavian crime novels, such as Stieg Larssons Girl With the Dragoon Tattoo and Jussi Adler Olsons Department Q series.

I am a recent graduate from Florida State University with a B.S. in Chemical-Materials Engineering. I just moved to the San Gabriel Valley area and I am looking to do both online and in home tutoring in my spare time. My main tutoring subject is math, and I have experience tutoring from elementary to collegiate levels. My schedule is very flexible at the moment, so I can make adjustments as need be to accommodate. I look forward to meeting new students and helping them reach their academic goals whatever they may be.
