I'm a bright, motivated person who loves to learn and loves to pass that learning along. I served in the military out of high school, and then spent 15 years in IT, moving up the ladder from technical support to systems administrator to network engineer. I attended college whenever I could throughout my time in IT, however, and last year I left the IT world to attend the University of Texas full time; I'm currently a junior, pursuing a B.A. in English, and will move on to an M.F.A in creative writing after graduation.My great love is reading and writing, and I'm looking forward to working with others and helping them develop their own appreciation for the joy that can be found in the written word, both in consumption and in creation. I'm also enthusiastic about history and science, and of course, if you're hoping for a career in IT I'm happy to get you started.

There are so many wonderful things to learn! I am a lifelong teacher. I hold a New York State teaching certification in art and live on Long Island, in New York, where I have tutored professionally since 1985. Over these many years, I have worked with students from 5 years through 80 years of age, and at all levels of academic achievement, including students who were home schooled and those with IEPs. I have tutored the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT exams for students who were candidates for graduate school, and have worked with students taking the NTE and NYSTCE exams to earn New York State teacher certification. For the past fifteen years, I have focused on SAT, ACT, SSAT and ISEE prep, which I really enjoy. Over these fifteen years and literally hundreds of students, I have honed my style and skills. I develop strong rapport with my students, seek out their individual needs, foster healthy improvements in their scores and work to build their confidence. I have a small backyard nursery, and I spend much of my personal time tending to my plants and enjoying needle arts and painting.

Hi! My name is Jonathan and I am starting medical school next year!I graduated from UT-Austin in 2013 with a degree in Finance and most recently completed my Post-Baccalaureate premedical studies at the University of Houston.I love learning and teaching math, science, and standardized testing strategies!92nd percentile MCAT94th percentile SAT

I want my students to feel comfortable in their classroom. I try to be as warm and welcoming as I can.Rapport building is important to me. I want the student to feel cared for and safe in this space, considering we never fully know what their life, school, or world pressure they're under is going to be in their daily lives, their tutoring sessions with me can be a time for fun and learning.There is no need for this to be something they dread, but instead, something they look forward to. My spaces are relaxed, safe, and still offering the most amount of learning I can give the students. I don't want any student in the group to feel left out or behind. I play to the strengths they show and give those the chance to shine.I use positive error correction and don't focus on mistakes for too long per session, because we can always revisit it as lessons go on.Learning should not be scary.Students should feel free to ask questions and be wrong, or right, or close. Fear of being wrong keeps a student from realizing how close they are to "getting it". Teaching is collaboration.Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point.In lots of events, the thing that confuses them may become clearer through more examples of it, or from a different concept allowing the difficult to manage concept to "click". Focusing on one issue a student isn't grasping causes more harm than good when it causes the child to become so frustrated that they simply shut down and stop trying to learn at all.Assessing learning styles after repeated issues with problems is necessary. If a student needs to sing, they can sing their reading assignment to hear the errors. They can tap their body as they learn the stronger math concepts. They can hear the directions read, they can read in silence and be asked comprehension questions. There is no need to stick to a formula that matches every student as there is no such thing.

I began teaching English and math to middle school students in 2012. When I was working at Urban Science Academy in NYC, I remember one particular student of mine who had anxiety when taking tests. They become scatterbrained and unfocused, unable to stop shaking their leg and playing with their pencil, rather than using it. A few weeks leading up to the state tests, I led students in a class debate while teaching a unit on argumentative essay writing. Through my support and guidance, this student spoke with confidence and poise while using evidence to back up his claim. This moment solidified my passion for creating an inquiry-based learning environment where students are critical thinkers, feel empowered, engaged in the material they are learning, and inspired to speak their opinions confidently.In the five years I have been teaching, I am most proud of building valuable and trusting relationships with my students. These relationships spark higher motivation for learning and more positive and healthy social interactions. In my 7th grade math classroom this year, I worked with a student who had consistently scored low on his quarterly assessments up through this year. He struggled with impulse control and had a difficult time focusing for longer periods of time; yet he was very bright, hard working, and asked questions in class everyday. After I worked with him in a small group setting and helped him build confidence, he jumped 30 points. This was a huge success and confidence booster for him. As a tutor, I will bring the qualities I have developed as a classroom teacher, creating a safe environment where students can think outside of the box, make mistakes, and take control over their own learning, to my tutoring sessions.

I believe the purpose of education is to ensure all students learn and grow to the best of their ability. I believe students learn best when they are shown exactly how to do something and are given a path to follow. As an educator, it's my job to teach them how to use different skills and strategies to be successful , life-long learners. I believe when a student feels confident because they understand what they are doing, they are capable of achieving any goal that they set. It is my job to ensure that they gain that confidence and knowledge to achieve their goals.

Hey there everyone! I am nineteen years old, and I am a current student at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. I am double majoring in Government and Justice and Peace Studies and intend to one day become a United States Diplomat or work in the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. My hobbies include running, playing volleyball and scrolling through twitter looking for hilarious memes.

I am skilled in an array of subjects such as math, reading comprehension, writing, and a whole lot of testing prep. I promise I do not bite (I promise), and I am really flexible in working with different families and learning styles. Having fun while learning is my priority, so trust me, I have a lot of learning tricks up my sleeve. Overall, I hope to one day work with your loving family , and hope that I am the right fit for you! Feel free to give me a call or email me with any questions about references or past experiences.

I am a 21-year-old recent graduate of Rice University in Houston, TX, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture! I plan on returning to school to receive my Bachelor of Architecture by 2022. In the past, I have tutored a range of students from middle school- to college-aged, in school subjects like writing, math, and science. I have tutored an eighth grade student in the ISEE, and I have tutored high school students in SAT/ACT as well. I love working with students on both STEM subjects and humanities, as my major encompasses both fields almost equally. Now that I've graduated with a degree in architecture, I'm also interested in helping architecture students learn the programs necessary to succeed in the major, including Adobe Photoshop, Indesign, Illustrator, and modeling softwares such as Rhino and SketchUp. I would also love to help any high school student prepare their portfolio for architecture school and answer any questions about the application process!

My academic work in the public school system includes a long-term substitute in high school and middle school. I was a Reading/ELA tutor at a Mano O' Mano elementary school. In this role, I engaged and motivated struggling students using creative teaching techniques. At the conclusion of the year, several students I worked with were performing at grade-level, which is a monumental achievement. I have also worked with academically challenged students supporting them in mentoring and coaching them to complete their high school curriculum to graduate. I have also worked as a private tutor working with students in reading.Professionally, I am an accomplished education and business professional who is committed to strategic collaboration of the global business and culturally diverse language-learning environment. I have extensive experience in business development. As a corporate trainer and human resource professional, my range of expertise includes training, development, analysis and design, policies and procedures, employee relations.I am a graduate of the University of Connecticut with a Bachelor of Science degree in Secondary Education and Reading. I hold a Leadership Certificate and an MBA in Strategic and Organizational Management from Jack Welch School of Business -Sacred Heart University.

I have been a teacher for over 10 years in the beautiful state of VA. I have taught several grades from 2nd to 8th grade. I love to teach and I think the best part is sharing my knowledge over a variety of subjects and making connections to previous experiences or existing background knowledge. I tutor in all subjects: math, history, science, and language arts - in grades K-8th. I believe that teaching includes building interest and engagement with students. When they are interested in the topic, they are more willing to participate, ask questions, and ultimately master the content.
