...that a person doesn't, solely, master a subject when he "aces" an exam, but when he is also able to communicate what he has mastered to another person and have that person "ace" as well. So here I am, wanting to help you "ace" that subject that has been giving you problems. But most important of all, have you realize that you can make it; that if you put the time, and with an extra...

...graduate and recently completed my Masters in Advanced Math Education under the auspices of the NYC Teaching Fellows program. I have experience teaching various levels of math and understand how to convey concepts in practical and clear ways so students gain a real understanding of the material.

...or her coursework. I am a very analytic person with a diverse learning background. I have learned many disciplines, and thus I am a tutor for a wide range of subjects in Mathematics, Economics, and French up to the level of French II. Math has been a passion of mine since I was able to count, and my interest my other subjects of knowledge have developed over the years. Outside of academics, I am a...

...theoretical basis for scaffolding. Scaffolding is a phenomenon that takes place with students independently learning versus students learning with their teachers. A good educator is able to assess the amount of scaffolding that's necessary for each learning outcome for each of their students and provide their students with that necessary amount of assistance they need in order to be successful. Being a child development major afforded me the opportunity to learn in this valuable education...

...one-on-one in New York City. I enjoy tutoring elementary subjects because they can be done in very creative and engaging ways. Even math can be drawn, sung or painted. My sessions will strive to create real connections and interactions with the content. I can also tutor in French for all ages. Outside of tutoring, I am working on an educational app that would coach parents on how to help their students with academic vocabulary. I...

...is for a child to be reading on level when they leave 1st grade and how it will effect them throughout their academic life. This year I am teaching kindergarden. I am a very patient teacher. I have a great love for teaching reading and phonics. Although, I am familiar with all elementary school state standards as a public school teacher, and would be comfortable teaching all subjects. My greatest ability and passion is teaching...

...Mathematical Sciences. However, I was interested in other ways of learning and teaching that were less traditional, and I became a site leader for an Alternative Breaks trip to Nicaragua for Public Health and Education and became a Resident Assistant at Lafayette Residence Hall. However, my interests and hobbies expand into many categories including playing piano and saxophone, doing gymnastics, participating in German culture, Bollywood and country music (I really like all genres though). I...

...have led me to stress the importance of realizing what the transferable skills are from Mathematics and that it is a human endeavor, above all else. I take a holistic approach to teaching, which means that students are expected to reason through problems algebraically, graphically, pictorially and verbally. When students are able to synthesize these four approaches to concept mastery, real understanding emerges, and students, perhaps for the first times in their lives, see what...

...about a subject, where they are having difficulty, what their learning style is, and then I adjust my teaching style accordingly so that they can understand the material with confidence. In addition to tutoring, I have also given presentations and training to other colleagues in my career. Furthermore, at the church I attend, I have taught Sunday school to children in elementary school and Bible Study to high school students and college students. In my...

...SATs or GREs. I know that these tests can be a little scary and intimidating, but it's my job to help you master the material and boost your confidence. Aside from tutoring, I love to read and cook; I am also an endurance athlete -- I hung up my basketball shoes once I realized there was no hope for me in the WNBA, and instead focused my energy on training and competing in marathons and...

...a 5th grade class, after spending three years teaching 2nd grade. As a teacher I strive to ensure each of my students receives a high quality education that meets their needs. As a tutor, this goal also applies. I love helping students reach their "light bulb" moment, the moment where everything finally makes sense. I believe that every child can, and wants to, learn; it's all about finding what clicks, and what works. I look...

Having taken various chemistry courses throughout my education, I have learned tips and tricks...

...would love to impart my understanding of the exam onto students who approach it with trepidation. I can help with all three sections, and I know the dynamics of the test (what are the categories of questions, what are the typical multiple choice pitfalls, how people should pace themselves, etc.) With regard to specific subjects, I initially began college as a Math major before switching to Political Science. I got all the way to Modern...

...experiences as well as many other experiences working in classrooms. I have experience tutoring in elementary school reading as well as at the college level for students taking biology.

I also believe that developing clear logical step-by-step methods of solving problems combined with repetition and practice leads to success. Finally,...

...made it on the school honor roll for the first time. I view tutoring as a form of giving back to my community and as a mutual learning experience for me and my student. My teaching style stresses focusing on separating concepts that my student already knows from those that they are struggling with. This style has worked in the past for me as it clearly outlines our objectives and makes best use of our...

...process strictly confined to a classroom or hour long session. I approach education with an understanding that learning techniques are applicable throughout the lifetime. Therefore, my style is energetic, excited, and robust in hopes of inspiring similar reverie of learning in the students I teach. An excellent practitioner of education is equal parts expertise and enthusiasm; I represent the balance necessary to learn beyond next week's test, but months and years into the student's academic...

I earned my Bachelor's in Individualized Study at NYU Gallatin and my Master's in International Education at NYU Steinhardt. I believe in individualized lesson plans for each student. Using the student's learning style (and strengths) can help us work on the weaknesses.
