...AP and Distinguished Honor Roll student, and the recipient of the IHA Math Award. Kelsey still attributes her academic successes to the study tactics she developed during her formative elementary and high school years, and she believes that all students (regardless of their field of focus) need to build a solid foundation in writing, reading comprehension, grammatical and syntactical knowledge, and time management techniques.

...identifying and leveraging an individual's strengths, I have helped students successfully overcome their weaknesses. With diverse strategies such as the use of mathematical models, pre-writing graphic organizers, and mnemonic self-monitoring reading strategies, my students have developed the ability to successfully demonstrate their knowledge. Through the use of formal and informal data collection, I am able to evaluate my successes and failures. Just as I say to my students, "failure is not final". Using my data,...

Through countless experience in the past, I have an excellent idea of what techniques work best for what types of learners. I also believe that through tutoring, not only should you walk away knowing the material but also knowing how to learn and knowing how you learn best.... A teacher lives...

I have tutored all throughout high school and also have previous experience working with Mad Science of Long Island teaching general concepts in science...

I began tutoring six years ago, and have been working with a variety of age groups and subjects ever since. I have tutored in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Physics and English. I'm excited to work with students and help them learn in their own individual ways!

...that kind of personal attention is difficult to provide in a classroom. With one on one tutoring sessions, any student can excel, even in the subjects he or she has the most trouble in. When I tutor a student, my first goal is to figure out the best way to teach this individual, as no single style can suit everybody. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, watching football and soccer, exercising, and reading...

...of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, where I received Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Science and Applied Mathematics. My previous experiences include tutoring 7th grade math and serving as a teaching assistant at Stony Brook. I have also been helping friends with their class work since high school. I tutor mathematics and computer science, which I enjoy primarily because of the logic utilized in identifying the problems and applying the...
