...study skills. So while I believe the key to a student understanding material is a deep engagement with it, I also have tools to help recall and organize information. I specialize in History, Psychology, English, Reading, and Writing. I have experience with a wide variety of age groups from 10 to 18. I am a theater director and freelance artist. However, when I am not at the theater I can be found listening to podcasts,...

...with special needs children right here in Long Island. While I tutor a range of subjects, my main passion is science, especially those stemming from biology. In my experience, students respond best to a tutor who is understanding and can explain subjects in a way that clear and concise but also fun and enticing. I truly believe everyone has the ability to be successful in their educational pursuits, and I am happy that I get...

Just completed my Masters in Education at Rutgers University! In undergrad, I majored in both History and Journalism, so reading comprehension, writing, and any area that is Social Studies related are all very much in my wheelhouse. I have tutored all of these subjects, in addition to Math, Spanish, and a few others. My style is very student-oriented in the sense that I adapt my strategy to each individual.

...craft strong (and grammatically sound) essays on any subject by working from a compelling thesis statement to a detailed outline to an excellent and convincing final paper. I'm a very patient tutor and love to use fun games to engage students while making sure that they understand the material rather than just memorizing. I'm passionate about learning, but outside of academia I spend my free time traveling, cooking, and making art. In college, I was...

...in a home where academics and good grades were considered my "job," and playtime a "privilege." Because of this, I graduated with a 4.7 GPA from high schoo. I am fluent in Spanish as I majored in it at UNC, studied abroad in Seville, Spain for six months, and then volunteered in Costa Rica in a daycare for five weeks. I also majored in History (American) in college, which I greatly enjoyed. In high school,...

...as an Instructor of World Literature. The one I think is most relevant to the SAT and other standardized tests asks, "what is the author not merely saying with his or her words, but doing with them"? When we put ourselves in the shoes of the test-writers, not just the shoes of the test-taker, a lot becomes really clear about how to succeed at taking tests without really trying (so hard). This said, I am...

...Therefore, I want to devote my life to teaching a language. However, I have to start with tutoring. I really enjoy helping to motivate students in learning a language because of the understanding there is between cultures. If I hadn't met my best friend from Germany, I don't think I would be where I am now. Some people believe there has to be a "reason" to learn a language. But that reason is a better...

...working through problems students have or talking with them about the work. I also am very good at helping students brainstorm essay topics or issues, and reviews on the subject. I prefer active learning over passive learning, lecturing is boring and tends to be a waste of time unless there's some interaction. Outside Academia, I love to write and hike. I'm also an avid subpar cooker, so if you want to know how to burn...

...general High School courses including History, English, Economics, Social Studies, and Geography. Outside of the High School Classroom, I can tutor for college essay writing, public speaking, reading, and general writing skills. The subjects that I am most passionate about tutoring are history, economics, and geography. My teaching style consists of compartmentalizing any topic into small, manageable pieces of information, then putting together the big picture once the parts are understood. I will also only...

...held back for a year; they felt I was lacking focus and at risk of failing to develop in step with my peers. Despite my teacher's concerns, my parents decided to send me along to first grade and trust that any 'growing pains' would resolve themselves. Twelve years later, I graduated in the top 1% of my class after being selected for the Honors/AP track at my school, received four academic merit based full-tuition scholarships...

...a former tutor at Fairleigh Dickinson University where I worked with students needing assistance with Math, Physics, and Business subjects, including Accounting, Finance, Economics, and Statistics. I really enjoy helping others learn as I am able to find different perspectives to help the student understand the material at hand. I am also available for weekly and bi-weekly tutoring sessions to help the student stay focused and organized for any major projects, exams, and/or goals.

...how to write a history (or English) term paper, how to prepare for a history (or English) test, and how to read long dense history (or English) documents and understand them. My goal as a tutor is to make myself obsolete. My students will learn history facts, but they will also learn general patterns of how to write a paper, or how historical events work. Eventually my students will no longer need me.... My philosophy is...

I am a graduating senior at Barnard College of Columbia University, earning my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Urban Teaching. I am a certified middle and high school history teacher, but also have over 4 years of experience teaching elementary-aged students. I love working with all subjects, but especially in English and History. I can't wait to work with you!

...and Chinese (a little stereotypical, I know. But I can't change what I'm good at!). Now a little about my hobbies... I don't know anything about music, in fact I took an elementary piano lesson in my 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...

...a student at The George Washington University. I am studying Political Science. I have been a good student my entire academic career. I have significant tutoring experience. In high school, I used to tutor students on my track and field team who were struggling. I also have helped students the past few years prepare for the SAT and ACT tests. In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music, watching sports, and reading about history.

...for a student to improve his or her understanding of a given subject. I specialize in History and English with a focus on Writing. My sessions are usually a balance between conversation and writing exercises and work best when oriented towards a specific task. My goal is to teach struggling students, or just students who would like to do better, how to become better students themselves, while always being there for support.

...and learning about math and literature. I am passionate about tutoring because I benefited from the personalized guidance of great tutors in my past and I really enjoy seeing students push themselves and develop an appreciation for subject areas or even the mental exercise of test-taking thanks to tutoring. I also believe that tutoring a subject area is the greatest way to maintain and develop understanding of its material for both the student and the...

...the tools and confidence they need to succeed. I'm also a parent, so I know first-hand both the frustration of homework struggles and the joy of accomplishment. I'm a PhD candidate in history at Rutgers University and I have taught history classes there, and in the Expository Writing program as well. I'm well acquainted with the standards professors are expecting from their students. I'm also extremely dedicated to helping students attain the reading and writing...
