...from Quinnipiac University. In addition to majoring in biology at Quinnipiac I also minored in mathematics. During my senior year of high school I taught a class of first graders religious education at Saint Brigid's Parish. I greatly enjoyed teaching this class and the ability it gave me to engage students in a subject and bring them new information. I am passionate about the sciences, mathematics, English and reading. I hope to bring my joy...

...a dream and a unique story. If you need help, I'd like to help you tell yours. I have had mentors help me in my schooling and career and likewise want to offer the same. On a personal note, my hobbies always grow. I love to travel, do crafty things, study naturopathy, play guitar, sing, I'm a foodie, and also make cosmetics like a scientist. I'm willing to try new things, and enjoy creation outdoors.

...In addition to teaching, I served as a member of the Connections to Algebraic Thinking Focus Group for my district. Our group was tasked with adjusting the middle school curriculum to better prepare students for the study of Algebra. I also completed the Emerging Leaders Program offered by the national nonprofit organization, New Leaders. The program helped strengthen my leadership and coaching skills and focused heavily on using data to drive instruction. In my spare...

...with students of all ages. I studied Economics and International Relations at American University as an undergraduate, and I am currently studying Ecology at Columbia University. I have tutored for a number of different non-profits over the years, and I enjoy working with all subjects-especially related to writing and math.

...This fall I will be a teacher at Success Academy. In May, I graduated The King’s College with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. My experience at The King’s College has motivated me to excel academically and develop my skills in critical thinking. Above all, my time at The King’s College has taught me how to write prolifically and understand ideas with both breadth and depth. Outside of tutoring, I have...

...with students from grades six through college. I also teach SAT and ACT preparation courses. While my favorite subject to teach is Social Studies, my Math and English students have gone on to great success as well. I know that every student has a unique learning style and success is often a matter of finding the right motivation. When I'm not teaching, my favorite thing to do is read to my own children.... Every student has...

I love teaching students and imparting the education and vast skills I have learned to them. I have been a tutor for more than 4 years, and I have tutored from elementary school children to sophomores in undergrad.

...tutor since 2009 working with students of all ages from pre-K to college level. My favorite subjects to tutor include high school level math because it brings with it various challenges and applications. I also enjoy tutoring with younger students because I get to use manipulatives and pictures to help students understand the math. I believe students learn best when I meet them at their level and determine their learning style. Everyone learns in different...

...double major in creative Writing and Journalism. I have been a private tutor for the past three years, tutoring math, English, and writing. I like to encourage my students to learn the broader reasons why an answer is right or wrong, so that they can learn a strategy to help them in the future with homework and tests instead of memorizing a specific set of rules. I try to make learning fun and enjoyable for...

...authors use to keep my interest and show my students how to use those methods to improve their own writing. I find the history of our country and our planet to be amazing and have developed projects that make learning about it more interesting. I must admit that like many students, I hated math growing up, but somehow math found its way into my heart (throughout my ten years of teaching) and it refuses to...

...problems before moving on. I also think that along with the creative side of learning, we have to be sure to teach our children how to think! It sounds so simple and you might be saying, "Of course, I know how to think!" Well, when you are given a word problem, do you know what comes to mind? Are you aware of the questions you are asking yourself and how you are planning to solve...

...a major part of my life because I enjoy helping others understand difficult concepts. I think tutoring goes far beyond simply teaching someone how to solve a question; it is built upon a relationship of trust that over time blossoms into a special connection between student and tutor. As a tutor, not only do I want the best for students, but I want to serve as a role model as well. My subjects include English,...

...major at Columbia University. I have been a tutor for three years, specializing in college-bound high school students and middle school children. While I have experience tutoring many subjects, my favorites are Statistics, Mathematics, and Computer Science. I did not discover my passion for these subjects until college (I was admitted to Columbia as pre-law for my writing), and I wish I had been exposed to the fun aspects of these subjects at younger age....

...This is a key element in the success of a student because each and every young mind is unique. Keep in mind though that even though the idea sounds simple, it takes years and years of experience to master. After teaching for a while, I realized something important within myself. While some may view teaching as a "job," I personally see it as a way to express my passion. In other words, I don't see teaching...

...year-long Masters in Museum Education with an emphasis in teaching the humanities. While in school, I taught in many museums in London from the Benjamin Franklin House, to the Courtauld, the Wallace Collection, to the Dulwich Picture Gallery. I also travelled extensively in Europe and Northern Africa which gave me a much richer connection to the history, literature, arts, and geography of this part of the world. After graduation, I stayed on in London tutoring...

...Although I tutor a broad range of subjects (from Math to English to Test Prep) I am most passionate about English and Writing, because I really enjoy editing essays. For both my tutoring and teaching style, I like to let the students' knowledge gaps guide the sessions and I adapt to focus on weaknesses and ultimately strengthening understanding overall. My biggest love in life is swimming, and I played water polo for seven years in...

...physics--and physics is essentially math. As a relatively recent graduate, I have recently undergone what students are currently going through, and I remember the struggles that I once had. My tutoring style, is one of of empathy, as it is important to understand a student, in order to properly teach them. Outside of tutoring I enjoy reading science fiction, playing sports (football, and soccer are my favorites), and going to the movies.... Every hard concept is...

...I was never a fan of just memorizing facts, because not only do you not really understand the material, but you are likely to forget it. That principle has transitioned over to my tutoring style. We start from the most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in...

...favorite subject to tutor is math because it is very methodical and visual. Having a passion to help others, I am drawn to tutoring for the opportunity to share my knowledge with others. My family and friends have described me as being patient, compassionate, and personableall of the qualities that I believe I bring to my students. Outside of tutoring, I like Notre Dame football, dogs (especially my family's German Shepherd!), yoga, cooking, and reading.
