Born and raised in New York by a French mother and American father, I speak French and English bilingually and...

...of 2011 I taught a five-week SAT Math prep course to rising high school juniors. I usually mold my teaching methods to fit the needs of my students. I believe the key to tutoring is to help the student have an "Aha!" moment, when a previously misunderstood concept suddenly makes sense. Such moments give students a real sense of confidence in themselves and agency in their learning, as their hard work has paid off. Because...

Hello, my name is Michelle! I am a graduate student at Long Island University studying Speech-Language pathology. I have always been passionate about working with students and I am excited to be able to help make subjects clearer and easier....

In a typical first session, I would assess which subjects the student struggles with,...

...ambition and the ability to communicate on all levels, and you are perhaps a tenth of the way to having everything a good accountant should have.

I have studied maths, economics and business studies, and believe these three subjects have...

As the recipient of tutoring myself as a high school student, I know firsthand the value that dedicated, passionate, and informed tutors can bring to students.

...I'm James and I've been living in Brooklyn and working as a tutor for the past 4 years. I love to teach one-on-one because progress happens quickly and I get to share my passions for the subjects that I teach.

I have additionally tutored high school calculus students as well as elementary school math, and high school and college physics.

...but utterly confusing to another. I am a great tutor because I make it a priority to discover each individual student's problem areas and create unique lesson plans and methods of instruction. I am also extremely patient and thorough when reviewing concepts and practice problems; I am more than willing to discuss a concept two or three times in varying ways if that is what the student requires. Furthermore, I always make sure to communicate...

...you want, but I will also help you find the real world application behind the subjects. It is well researched in teaching pedagogy that when comparing extrinsic and intrinsic motivated learning, students who are intrinsically driven not only perform better on tests, but gain longer lasting and higher quality education.

...am a 2015 graduate of Boston University, having received a BA in Biology with concentrations in cellular and molecular biology with genetics. During my enrollment, I participated in graduate level classes at the medical school, participated in on-campus research, and completed my studies after just 3 years. I've always had a love for biology but that is not my only area of specialty. Math studies from elementary levels through calculus are one of my strong...

...it is to express yourself and your ideas clearly. In my experience, a student can't learn if he or she doesn't see the connection between academics and pursuing one's dreams. For example, Algebra may seem useless in daily life, but a solid foundation in math allows me to understand basic principles of business that are essential for working with others. Through being friendly and accessible, I work to make students feel engaged with the material...

...job as a tutor is to ensure that they can fully overcome these obstacles and solve the problems with ease in a coherent and thorough manner without any difficulty. The way I go about eliminating these obstacles and difficulties that each student is facing, is by creating multiple teaching strategies.

...classroom students need to continue to stay engaged and build positive relationships with their peers, while continuing to embody good morals and be productive members of society. I teach through experience. As a child, I learned best through action, not words. It is much more difficult to grasp abstract concepts merely though listening, as compared to developing an understanding through application. Once students understand that failing is a step in the learning process, they are...
