I am very excited to be working as a tutor for the summer and throughout the school year. Currently, I am an 8th grade math teacher at a STEM school and greatly enjoy it.

I will not give away the answers for you; I will make you explain the...

I've been tutoring professionally in homes and in institutions (NYU) for over eight years now. I have a breadth of knowledge when it comes to the SHSAT and SAT and all levels of mathematics as I am an engineer by profession.

...skills. I have also tutored individuals in French and English, primarily aiding them after school with homework help, but also teaching new and more challenging concepts to keep them ahead of their class. As someone who was tutored in math all throughout high school, I can really relate to both sides of the tutoring process! I am a very patient and dedicated individual and I am committed to understanding your child's needs.

...have found that most students who have struggled in math never built a strong foundation. They have struggled previously in a building block of a topic they are currently trying to master. I make sure my students understand and practice every concept before being bombarded with new information. My goal for my students is to show consistent progress with their scores. I believe learning should be fun. Math tends to give students anxiety on its...

I also particularly enjoy teaching Standardized Test materials because the problem sets can be rather interesting to solve; it is more fun than just regular math and english.

I graduated from The College of New Rochelle with a masters degree in education. I have always enjoyed working with youth in several different aspects. I've been a mentor, I've been a teacher and of course I've been a tutor. I believe helping people, especially youth, is extremely important. I want to help as many as I can, for as long as I can....

...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...

I'm a Mechanical engineering student from Binghamton University. I'm currently on route to graduate in the upcoming year and have a passion for higher mathematics and engineering. I do have past experience tutoring and feel the best way to helps students is by connecting materials to one's personal interests, and to maximize one's strengths within a subject.

...considered if a student is having trouble grasping the concept. A fair and adaptive 1-on-1 tutoring method helps students to understand the material on their own, which is ultimately the goal of any education. When I am not tutoring, I am either responding as an EMT or firefighter for my fire department or playing basketball, volleyball, football, or rugby. If I am not playing sports, then I am watching Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, ESPN,...

The core curriculum at Columbia is very broad, and so I have an expansive background in writing and the humanities....

I love yoga and practice regularly. In my spare time I like to learn about almost anything. This summer I took courses in Classical Mythology. I also like to ski, when I...

...ever imagined. Like teaching in a classroom, tutoring involves more than academic content. Tutors must instruct and reinforce skills that equip students for lifelong learning and success. Tutoring is really about meeting a child where she or he is and guiding them to where they need to be for optimal learning. I am a great tutor because I understand that each student learns as an individual and that learning occurs best when tutors utilize research-based...

...why I'm so passionate about helping students. Every class matters and they all empower students to accomplish great things in the future. My teaching philosophy extends from this; I like to relate all material to real life examples. This not only allows for improved comprehension of the subject matter, but it also allows students to understand why it's important -- increasing their passion for their own education. Currently, I'm focusing on math and writing. Those...
