...History for last 5 years in Brooklyn, NY. During that time, I have taught all grade areas from 9th grade Global to 12th grade Government and Economics. I was a History Undergrad at Lock Haven University of PA. While there, I studied History from around the world, with a concentration in both American and European Studies. As a high school student, I took AP Euro and AP US exams. I know what it takes to...

I enjoy helping my students achieve their goals, whether they are seeking to master a subject they find challenging or improve their scores on a standardized test. When I'm not studying (or at the lab) myself, I'm either at dance class, cooking a large...

...in english. I have a history of being a homework helper with the kids that I babysit for. My strong suits are english, history, and I am also available to tutor verbal and reading for ACTS and other standardized tests.

Outside of academia I enjoy skiing, reading Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings, running, yoga, and taking...

I genuinely enjoy the process of meeting new people, entering their world, and helping them fulfill their potential. The transformation of a frustrated, stressed student to a happy, confident student is truly remarkable to watch, and the joy that I experience is what motivates me to continue doing...

...SHSAT, SSAT, and TACHS. I think my own struggle and ultimate success makes me a stronger tutor than if it had been easy for me from the start. I understand the roadblocks that come up in certain students' heads. Not everyone's brain works the same way and I think it is extremely helpful to be able explain things from different anglesto translate this language of the test or textbook. I have a real love of...

...the fourth grade my parents paired me up with a tutor. At first, I didn't feel that I needed it and, in many ways, was uneasy about the whole concept; however, the dramatic improvement in my writing style and technique after the few months of working with her increased my performance in school tenfold. I keep chasing improvement even today. As a student at New York University, I study under some of the most talented...

...taught after-school activities for elementary school students, assisted teachers in middle school classrooms for students with special needs, and have taught a section of an undergraduate course. Personally, I learn best through an interdisciplinary approach, when I am able to see how different subjects, theories, or activities are related to each other. I know that it is important for many students to be exposed to different ideas and modes of learning when tackling a particular...

...that acquired knowledge. I have found this method to be remarkably successful in creating a base of knowledge that helps my students succeed in the short term as well as develop an idea of the most effective ways for them to learn and process math. As a life-long math lover, I enjoy all fields within mathematics but have the most fun tutoring Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Algebra II, and SAT Math. In my free time, you...

...I took seriously all of the pressures on this position--out of school political fighting, in school political fighting, funding shortages, etc. It was not clear to me at the time, but teachers do one of the most difficult jobs and receive the least amount of respect for it--not to mention a salary that rarely reflects their efforts and impact. For me, tutoring excises some of these political issues, allowing me to focus entirely upon the...

...political science at UVA (B.A., 2010). I then received an M.A. (2012) and an M.Phil. (2014) in philosophy at Columbia. As a PhD student at Columbia, I served as teaching assistant for or taught numerous courses in these fields. I also taught in the university's pre-college program 2017-2023. I prefer **very strongly** to work with students who want to meet at least once a week on most weeks. The less often you want to meet,...

...a tutor, I've worked with kids in middle school, where the goal was to motivate them to want to learn and present the material in an engaging manner. I believe that's true for any age, but it just takes a different approach. I am committed to adapting my process to the needs and goals of the student so that they can make the most of our time. At the end of the day, I hope...

...and make great strides on a weekly basis. My personal favorite subjects as a student were history and english, but I find helping students who struggle with math equally as gratifying. I also enjoy tutoring for standardized exams such as the SAT because of how easy it is for students to improve once they are taught techniques and begin to practice them. As the son of a teacher I was always taught that education was...

...a BA from Sarah Lawrence College, where I studied theatre and Medieval literature. Sarah Lawrence gave me many opportunities outside the academic, amongst them was the opportunity to teach in the school's Theatre Outreach program; there I was able to teach Shakespeare to local high school students. We discussed the text both as literature and performance; this opened up the language, made it accessible, and fun! I will be tutoring in Literature and writing amongst...

My passion and discipline for learning foreign languages were the driving forces I was able to achieve fluency for some of the languages I took the effort to learn to this day. These are the same core values I also want to instill in all of my students. By inspiring them to achieve their goals and reminding them the importance of discipline and consistency, success is sure to follow. Some of my...

Professionally I aligned to Strategy Consulting overall, but have numerous interests in M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital. I have tutored peers and students for the past 7 years of my life and I have always assumed a role of a mentor, instead of being a simple tutor. Tutoring in general is a perfect means of passing down tips and...

...cycling, volunteer locally and enjoy keeping up with the latest fashion trends and home decor. I also am part of a roller hockey league and play left defender. I am very passionate about economic empowerment and have seen slowly but surely that more women are finally taking more ownership of household finances rather than simply doing the book keeping. It is very encouraging, and I am glad to contribute to that end.
