In addition to being guided and influenced in a highly educational environment by my father, who taught for 40 years before he became a university dean, I have had the opportunity to teach for over seven years where I have led classes as large as 30 students and taught ages 5 through 10.My experiences tutoring university students and coaching vocal techniques varied from early teenagers to college students in their mid to late 20s.I have been instrumental in devising effective, fun and instructional lesson plans by using Montessori's hands-on methodology, aiming to target individual learning gaps and improving test scores. My greatest strengths include positively motivating students, by using stimulating and learning activities to keep them interested and focused.Having also been an event coordinator and music director in the event industry for 15 years, as well as being the touring lead singer of my own band around the Middle East and North Africa, I have mastered micro coordinating skills off and on stage, to ensure an omnipresent and multitasking delivery varying from small and very large crowds from different age groups.
Margarita
10th Grade Math Tutor • +28 Subjects
I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry and Russian Literature from Columbia University in May 2014, and I plan on beginning medical school in the fall of 2015. Since graduation, I have been working part-time in a dermatologist office as a Medical Assistant and part-time on a public health project related to smoking cessation. I have also been tutoring students in a variety of subjects. I have been tutoring students since I was in 7th grade, and my favorite subject to tutor is math. My family is originally from Russia, and I grew up with a very strong and traditional math background. I always find teaching math to students to be gratifying, and I hope to share some of my love for math with my students. I also enjoy tutoring test prep, especially since I know how stressful the process of applying to colleges (and later graduate schools) is! With every student, I aim to find an individualized approach that makes our time together productive, helpful, and enjoyable. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, making ceramics, playing badminton, and hiking.
Victor
ACT Prep Tutor • +47 Subjects
I am a graduate from the University of Georgia where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Cognitive Science with a focus on Artificial Intelligence/Computing and Psychology. Throughout College and even in high school, I loved helping my peers and those around me achieve and found myself in many situations where I helped friends in one-on-one or group study sessions as well as joining a plethora of groups and associations that would connect me to students who needed a little extra help. My path in college allowed me to explore many different subjects in a variety of fields, but I find myself most passionate about Life Sciences, all levels of Math, Software Development in Java, Psychology, and Philosophy. I also enjoy aiding in the studying for Standardized Testing as I have always enjoyed the process of test taking and have acquired many skills and tips that could help anyone become a more skilled test taker. I believe education to be a cornerstone in becoming a fulfilled person in life, and this belief is what encourages and motivates me to help others further excel, prosper, and achieve all their goals in life. I believe everyone has the aptitude for learning anything they want, and I want to bring this talent out of all of my students to show them what has been hiding within all along.

College English Tutor • +27 Subjects
I am a writer living in Brooklyn. I grew up in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH, where I majored in history. In college I acted as an editor for the Oberlin Review and as research assistant to an English professor. I spent one semester abroad at Trinity College in Dublin, and another semester at the Williams-Mystic maritime studies program in Mystic, Connecticut. It was an eclectic undergraduate experience that left me interested in many different things and wanting to learn much more. I'm working on that.My main interests are literature, film, and travel. I love getting to know people, their stories and memories, what excites them, what they care about. I think each of us has a lot to learn and we have to help each other along.

I was a Math Teacher in New York City for 7 years. I have worked with students of various abilities and backgrounds and take the most pride in reaching those students whom others had written off. No matter what level of math you are at or what your past experience with math has been, I will help you both understand the concepts and see their relevance to your everyday life.
Emily
Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects
The thing that makes me a great tutor is the fact that I don't give direct answers. I work with the student and what they know, and we build on that knowledge to answer his or her question. This way of tutoring helps him or her to become more self-sufficient and capable of doing these problems and reasoning the problems out for himself or herself in the future.

My absolute pleasure is helping students overcome their fears and develop new writing skills.
Justin
ACT Math Tutor • +18 Subjects
I am currently pursuing a degree in Human Biology on a pre-dental path at the University of Toronto. Starting in high school, I began teaching when I became a swim instructor during sophomore year and discovered that I love teaching students. I enjoy seeing my students improve and achieve new goals as I work with them. Moving away from the swimming environment, I started to tutor students for math and science. I quickly realized that I enjoyed teaching in this environment as well, particularly because I enjoy math and science and their relevance to my everyday life. This projected my teaching philosophy by giving students connections to their studies. I believe these connections are the best way to improve your attitude towards learning and understanding of any subject area.In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, playing basketball, and producing music.

Frequently Asked Questions
A tutor provides personalized feedback on your writing that goes beyond what you might get in a classroom setting. They can work with you on the specific areas where you struggle—whether that's developing a strong thesis, organizing your ideas, strengthening your argumentation, or refining your writing voice. Through one-on-one instruction, tutors help you understand the "why" behind writing conventions, not just the rules, so you can apply these skills to future assignments.
Grammar is the foundation—correct punctuation, sentence structure, and word usage make your writing clear and professional. Style, on the other hand, is about how you express your ideas: your word choice, sentence variety, tone, and voice. A strong essay needs both. Tutors help you master grammar mechanics while also developing your unique writing voice, so your essays are not just correct but engaging and persuasive.
Writer's block often happens when you're trying to write the perfect essay on the first try. Tutors teach strategies like freewriting, outlining before drafting, or breaking the essay into smaller chunks so you're not facing a blank page all at once. They can also help you move from confusion about your topic to a clear thesis statement, which gives you a roadmap for the rest of your writing. Many students find that talking through their ideas with a tutor helps clarify their thinking before they even sit down to write.
Organization is where many essays fall apart. A tutor helps you build a logical structure by identifying your main argument, organizing supporting points, and ensuring each paragraph connects back to your thesis. They teach you how to create outlines that serve as blueprints, how to write topic sentences that guide your reader, and how to use transitions that show the relationship between ideas. With practice and feedback, you'll develop the ability to organize complex arguments clearly on your own.
Yes. Citation formatting can feel overwhelming, but tutors break it down into manageable pieces. Whether you need help with MLA, APA, or Chicago style, a tutor can show you how to cite sources correctly and help you understand the purpose behind proper attribution. They also help you integrate quotes and paraphrased material smoothly into your essay so citations feel natural rather than awkward—and your arguments stay strong.
Literary analysis requires you to move beyond just understanding what happened in a text to understanding how and why the author created meaning. Tutors help you develop close reading skills—identifying literary devices, understanding themes, and analyzing character motivation. They then guide you in translating these observations into a coherent argument with specific textual evidence. This turns your analysis into a compelling essay that shows deeper engagement with the material.
Revision is where good essays become great ones. Rather than trying to fix everything at once, tutors teach you to revise in layers: first looking at big-picture issues like thesis clarity and argument strength, then moving to paragraph organization and transitions, and finally polishing grammar and style. They also help you develop self-editing skills so you can evaluate your own work critically. With this strategic approach, you'll learn to revise efficiently and see real improvement in your writing.
