Award-Winning Elementary Math Tutors for Students in Queens, NY

I am currently a senior in the Honors College at the University of South Florida pursuing a major in Biomedical Science along with minors in Astronomy and business law. I have had about five years of experience as a tutor so I have helped multiple students of various ages score extremely high on national tests.

Last year, I worked as an English teacher in Tokyo. There, I cultivated a student-centered teaching style, where I serve as a guide for my students. I absolutely love to teach. I'm from Portland, Oregon, and in my free time, I love to read, write, and watch sports.

...and their abilities to strive to be the best they can be. I have a lot of patiences and tutoring techniques that will help students grasp and understand concepts easier, making learning more fun, as I like to put it. I have tutored at elementary schools around my neighborhood, helping students learn better through connection....

...last semester of university, and received a B- for it! Turned out to be the worst grade in my student history, and robbed me of my Magna Cum Laude by 0.003 points! Still bitter? Yes. I love travelling and I've studied abroad two times. So far I've been to around 10 countries. I speak English,...

...the Math section of the SAT. I have previous experience helping students to increase their performance on that area of the test. I enjoy helping students to understand topics where they have previously struggled. It is rewarding to see them finally grasp a topic that they were finding difficult or watching their SAT scores increase...

...extracurriculars often revolving around my academic interests. I graduated Penn as a member of Mortar Board National Honor Society, which rewards academically driven students who display leadership and involvement throughout the community. During my junior year I chose to take my spring break in New Orleans with Habitat for Humanity where we built several houses...

I believe that individualization of instruction is crucial to academic success because students are able to get targeted feedback on their own strengths and weaknesses,...

...is getting the student to thoughtfully approach questions and logically approach problems. I believe strongly that a student should be guided through problems rather than simply told whether they are right or wrong (that's what an answer key is for!). A tutor should provide feedback on their thought processes as well as follow through all...

...understand that each individual should use tools specific to their learning style. I am passionate about making my students see that they are capable of doing well in their classes. I look forward to instilling self-confidence in their coursework. In my free time, I enjoy exploring my local city, traveling and practicing yoga.... I point out when I see that they have made improvements from our last session. I also congratulate them when they do well...

...taught conversational English to foreign students. I decided to pursue this further by obtaining a TEFL certification and going to teach English in Istanbul, Turkey. I also have a bachelor's degree in science and a master's degree in a social science from an Ivy League University My educational background has provided me with a great...

...This background provides me with a unique ability to understand and communicate complicated math while maintaining strong communication skills. I have a great deal of experience working with students of all skill levels. I've taught students of all ages, abilities and backgrounds. Students come to me to raise their grades or to maintain their "A"...

...to a graduate school. Now, after I passed the GRE Physics test and submitted my applications, I am open to share my problem solving skills. My firm convincing is that there is no "I don't like Math" or "I don't like Physics," but instead the student is struggling with the assigned teacher. The problem is...

...Teacher's Assistant for the Political Science department's Methodology course, working with students on quantitative theory and statistical analysis. I also staffed my college's math help center in its inaugural semester on campus, tutoring students as they walked in the door on anything from Pre-Calculus to Geometry to Statistics. I've really loved working with students in...

...elementary school level to college students to adults who wanted to learn English. After graduating college, I spent a year in France intimately learning the language and teaching my host family English. In my spare time, I love traveling, expanding my book collection, practicing yoga, and delving into community theater and choral groups. In my...

...mathematics and economics who has completed the premedical prerequisite courses, I hope to continue my journey as a tutor. I employ a teaching strategy of explaining important concepts, practicing problems, and reviewing mistakes. My method is to begin by finding the student's weaknesses and explaining those difficult concepts to the students. I then guide the...

...about ACT Prep and Calculus. I have experience working with students of all ages and abilities. I know from experience that each student will comprehend the material differently, and my job is to find the best way for the student to understand.

...beneficial process that leads to true learning. Because of this belief, I am enthusiastic about new approaches to mathematics in K-12 education, in particular. In place of rote memorization, Common Core emphasizes creative approaches to problem solving to develop mental math abilities through mathematical thinking and number sense. My strong liberal arts background has also...

...teaching style is very interactive; I help the students to learn how to solve a problem and every other problem similar to it. I do not focus on only the problem at hand, instead I focus on all aspects that could be derived from such a problem and thus give my students a broad understanding...
