...a long time in both professional and theatrical settings. I currently organize and lead school groups that come to New York around the city and provide them with interesting historical facts as well as help make sure everyone is accounted for at all times. I've been a teacher and counselor for different drama camps, mostly for middle-school aged kids and kids with special needs as well. I've always had a passion for education which potentially...

...intensive program at the University of California at Santa Cruz; an institution well known for its excellent education department and strong emphasis on student-directed, project-based learning. I was a multiple-subject educator at a small, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation funded, non-traditional charter school at the forefront of the project-based, standards-based, early-college movement. I have taught students of all ages in traditional and non-traditional settings. Everything I do with my students is designed to build confidence,...

...elementary, high school, undergraduate and graduate students, I specialize in tutoring many subjects, mostly in the humanities and social sciences. I also tutor in Mandarin Chinese. As a native speaker in Chinese, I love to teach Chinese because the language relates to my background and specialty. I can also tutor areas in social sciences, including statistics, biostatistics, psychology, etc. I am looking forward to meeting new students. My teaching philosophy is to let students get...

...first started tutoring at Harlem Village Academies, a network of charter schools in New York City. Inspired by the success of these one-on-one Saturday morning tutoring sessions, she created a volunteer tutoring program bringing students from a Westchester high school to teach Harlem middle school students. When she began her studies at GWU, Rachel continued tutoring in Washington, D.C. at SAIL Charter School, teaching mathematics to kindergartners. In 2012, she was selected as a research...

...as well as provided homework help after school near Stuyvesant HS. In college in Chicago, I also volunteer-tutored local kids as well as worked as an educational consultant and private tutor at an elite Chicago-area company. Thus, I have experience working with kids from all backgrounds, walks of life, and interests, so I like to think I'm ready for anything! Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring the New York City arts scene, journalism, hiking, and...

...they can to achieve it. My favorite subject is Physics because I love seeing how the universe works; I also enjoy math because it's a huge part of Physics! My method is to first make sure the student knows exactly what the question is asking them to find, then break the question down into as many simple steps as needed to show the student how to progress to the right answer. Rather than perform each...

...consulting engineer for an engineering firm in Suffolk County, NY. Here, my work varies from preparing estimates to designing traffic signals and roadways and performing construction inspection. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing racquetball, volleyball, soccer, and volunteering at local ministries and outreach events. As a prospective client, I'd ask that you keep the following in mind: I tutor because I have a commitment to life-long learning. I tutor because I hope that...

...the verbal sections. I attended two years of prep school and eventually obtained a 2200. My biggest takeaway was the way I learn and retain information. I believe what makes me unique as a teacher is that I take the time to understand the needs of my students, work with them to come with a learning strategy that works for them, and create a measurable objective to work towards. The most daunting goal can be...

I have several years of vastly rewarding experiences teaching art and computer skills to high school aged students. I especially love math, as well as reading and writing, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm.

Hello! I am studying political science and statistics, and I will be working in finance after graduation. I also have strengths in Spanish (I studied abroad in Spain), standardized tests, and test taking and organization skills. In my free time I love to run, spend time with friends, and travel. I actually think standardized tests are fun and I would love to help you learn to feel that way too.... I believe that students should be...

...never punish you for learning. My grandmother was a wonderful teacher who helped me re-learn Chinese when I moved back from Japan to China. Because my grandma served as a mentor who believed that 'I can do it', I remained confident and went from bottom of class to top. Ultimately, we will not only work on your weakness, but also develop mental and physical toughness. Tutoring experience: spent 2 years in college tutoring pre-meds in...

...my student newspaper. Last year, I served as its editor in chief. At The Justice, I've applied the skills I learned from creative writing to journalism and op-ed content. I already had experience clarifying sentences, helping writers develop a unique written voice, and keeping writing concise and precise, but through The Justice I learned how to find and support a strong argument, recognize logical fallacies in one's own thinking as well as in others, and...

...seems impossible, instead of simply giving up, I go back to my basics. Instead of focusing on what I do not know, I look at what information is given to me. I also look at the problem from a different angle to see if it is another way to solve the problem. I hope to teach students that despite how challenging a problem may appear, they shouldn't feel discouraged. They should know that there is...

...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 tutoring, I look to build my students' confidence through hard work, encouragement, and compassion. I believe that once students have confidence in themselves, they will be able to learn much more effectively and with greater enjoyment. I...

...students with the guidance and practice necessary to understand each individual facet of a given subject until they feel completely comfortable with the material on their own. I find it very important to avoid overwhelming students with the big picture of something like an SAT or AP exam and prefer to break down the material into manageable pieces which, once mastered, will allow the student to excel at the subject as a whole. Besides my...

...love to pass that along to all of my students. Whenever I tutor, my main objective is not simply to plant more knowledge in the student's mind, but to give them a greater understanding of broader fields of inquiry, so that they reach a greater understanding of how the different academic domains are connected and interdependent. Outside of academics, I am a Midshipman in the Navy ROTC program at my school and hope to someday...

I have recently moved to New York City and I am currently working for a healthcare start-up company! I love it!

When I finish I will have a degree in Business Administration and Finance. I have always tutored a wide range of academic subjects. I enjoy...

...Introductory Accounting, and French although my true passion is Maths. If I had to describe my tutoring style in one word I would say flexible. My goal is to make sure my students feel comfortable and enthusiastic about learning. It is important for me to listen to them, learn which teaching mechanism works best for them, and adapt myself to maximize their learning experience. Some of my favorite hobbies are reading, swimming, and puzzles!

...learning - a "cool" factor. Showing students how cool (even fun!) learning certain subjects can be because of how it relates to them is an irreplaceable tool to get them interested in actually learning something, instead of simply "getting by" by cramming the night before. I do my absolute best to provide a positive, fun, engaging experience for students which focuses on their potential to succeed by showing them how much they have already accomplished...

I got my Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and I have solid background in science majors, especially math and physics. I've been working as a math and physics tutor for four years in undergrad as well as grad school, so I know exactly where students struggle and am very eager to help. I also worked as a teaching assistant for Fluid Mechanics. I watch football, soccer, and LOL...
