I first started tutoring early on in high school, I was always the student involved in accelerated/honors/AP courses and many of my friends needed help with the regular courses. Ever since then I have loved sharing the knowledge I have with other people and watching them grow and succeed as students.Outside of tutoring I enjoy playing music on guitar and piano as well as playing softball and basketball. I would consider myself to be a very active person who needs to be kept occupied most times. I like to stay busy and on the go in order to be as productive as possible.

I graduated cum laude from Barnard College, Columbia University with a BA in English Literature. As a tutor, I start by listening carefully to my students so I can better understand their problem solving skills, self-awareness, and patterns of self-expression. I keep close track of my observations so I can better fashion my teaching style to their needs. Are they struggling with organization? Focus? Or is it simply a comprehension issue? I then design the pace and style of my approach to best suit their needs.My domains of expertise include reading comprehension, writing, literature, and ESL. As a writer, I find great joy in teaching others how to analyze, express, and organize their thoughts in compelling, persuasive essays. In addition to my work as a writer, I am a filmmaker and firmly believe that the arts should be an integral part of every education.

I have goals to help others understand what they're struggling with, through my experiences and techniques.

I believe great writing is a learnable skill. My goal is to help each student express their unique voice while mastering the fundamentals. I have experience as a reading and writing tutor from an elementary school to a graduate school level. It is immensely rewarding to see my students excel in subjects they once feared, but what brings me the greatest joy is watching a student learn to love reading and to discover the deep satisfaction of putting their thoughts on paper.I received my B.A in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, and I was a Visiting Student in Classics and English at Oxford University. My two great passions in life are writing and education. In my life outside tutoring, I write professionally and am on the Board of Trustees of a nonprofit, early-childhood education center in Harlem, The Ricardo O'Gorman Garden.

I originally hail from Chicago, IL, but I am currently a MD Candidate at the Medical College of Wisconsin. My previous academic achievements include a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Howard University followed by a Master of Science degree in Medical Physiology from Case Western Reserve University.Throughout my undergraduate and postgraduate career, I set aside time to teach as well as tutor basic biology, ecology, chemistry, math, reading and writing to students ranging from kindergarteners to high schoolers.As a tutor, I make sure my sessions are something the student will look forward to by trying to relate to each individual student on a personal level to ensure they feel comfortable asking questions if and when they may not understand a concept. I know how one can feel discouraged from their studies, but with the right preparation, study tools, and tutor, it can be enjoyable.Any concept I teach, I make sure to relate them to real life scenarios in a way that the student could understand and appreciate because learning and studying resonate well with any student when relatable in a familiar fashion.A typical introductory session with a student includes learning what type of learner the student is and their current methods for studying. I like to see what works for the student and what doesn't and how I can help improve those areas. My goal, as a tutor, is to encourage and equip students with the necessary tools to be successful so that one day they can pay it forward.Outside of work and studies, I like to dance, hang out with friends, surf pinterest and do DIY projects.I look forward to working with you!

I am a graduate of Colby College in Waterville Maine, where I received my BA in Biology. Since then I have taught high school Biology and Chemistry in a public high school in a suburb of Boston. I received my Masters of Education from Fitchburg State University, as well as an advanced degree in Educational Leadership and Management. Along with being a teacher, I was a football and baseball coach in Massachusetts for the past 9 years. I believe that teaching academic subjects and sports go hand in hand, and I am equally passionate about teaching and coaching.My favorite part of being a teacher is the one on one interactions with students. Whether it is on the field or in the classroom, I love the feeling when students have that "Ah ha!" moment, and finally get a difficult concept. I have experience with teaching all different types of learners, and students with various learning disabilities. I love to differentiate instruction in order to fit each student's unique learning style.I love tutoring science, particularly biology and chemistry because these subjects require a unique way of thinking. Instead of committing facts to memory, I challenge students to learn patterns, to use critical thinking skills and to question their reasoning in order to come up with a plan to solve scientific problems. I believe that scientific thinking is a skill that can help students in all facets of their life.When I am not in the classroom, I enjoy being active. My hobbies include going for walks with my puppy, spending time outside, and playing and watching sports. I played football in college, and I still play softball and flag football.

I am a graduate of Vanderbilt University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Economics and History with a minor in Art History. Since graduation, I have worked full time in business development for a large healthcare corporation and have also pursued entrepreneurial/ start-up ambitions. I have made time to travel the world (recently visited France, Switzerland, Italy, India, Brazil, and Iceland). I have played guitar for over 15 years and also spend time drawing live models! For several years I was a tutor and coach for the Boston Scholar Athletes Program, a program focused on teaching English and Math to student-athletes and then coaching them in soccer. I tutor a broad range of subjects, although I am most interested in Algebra, History, and English Literature. I am constantly learning and looking to help others learn too! I love teaching and strive to achieve that "AHA!" moment.

Let's look at education to be a conversation. The teaching is to speaking and informing, while essays are the response to what you probably heard at the initial part of the conversation. Maybe we should change how to look at the classroom, it was meant to be an area that enables us to discuss everything we think about outside of it.

I received my B.S. in biology from the University of Nebraska, Omaha (UNO) and I am currently working on a Master's in biology at the UNO. I was a teaching assistant for UNO and have taught introduction to biology labs & assisted with ecology and limnology labs. I currently volunteer at a local wetland during family orientated events and have volunteered with other organizations that focus on science outreach to k-12 students. I firmly believe each student can do well in biology, they just need the right tools. These tools, which vary between students, are based in study skills, instruction, and a positive mindset. When I am not working on my degree, I enjoy reading, listening to podcasts, and spending time in nature.

I first became interested in tutoring in high school, where I found myself helping friends in anything from AP Literature to the math portions on the SATs. In my experience, working one on one with people has been incredibly rewarding, as it allows for a deeper level of communication between the tutor and the tutee. I began tutoring more formally when I started attending college at Boston University. Throughout my junior year, I worked at BUs Writing Center as a writing consultant, where we help students with papers from the writing courses, ESL English courses, and various other courses in the College of Arts and Sciences. Being a consultant has given me the opportunity to work with students from diverse backgrounds, whether they be an ESL student in Biology or a student from Boston studying English, and I am excited to return to this work during my upcoming senior year.Working with so many different students has taught me a lot about tutoring, including valuable lessons about different learning styles and communication. My approach to tutoring is typically to begin with a discussion with the students about what they feel their strengths and weaknesses are, and their past experiences with the subject being discussed. I have found that engaging with the student and opening a line of communication helps me to determine what the focus of a session should be and how directly to approach learning specific topics. Some students require more direct visual step-by-step examples whereas others can benefit by completing a problem individually and then reviewing errors. Therefore, I try to keep in mind that figuring out a students learning process by asking questions about teaching styles and specific challenges is often just as important as the material being taught; not only does identifying these characteristics help me better tailor my tutoring approach, but it can also help the student better learn on their own.Outside of tutoring, I am an avid reader, movie lover, gamer, and concert-goer. When Im not re-reading my favorite Shakespeare play or watching the latest comic book movie, I can usually be found jumping up and down at a rock concert somewhere in the Boston area. Music has been an incredible influence upon my life, allowing me to connect with friends and strangers alike through the art of others. Im also a passionate animal lover, and I volunteer weekly to clean and (mostly) play with cats at the shelter, despite being a bit allergic. Additionally, being a computer science and philosophy double major at Boston University, I love discussing topics about technology and existentialism. People tend to say Im the textbook definition of a nerd, and Id have to proudly agree with them. I love learning new things and sharing knowledge with others, which is one of the reasons I find tutoring so rewarding. Oftentimes I find that as I help a student better understand a topic, I too get to learn quite a lot from them, and Im excited to continue to share my love of knowledge with others.
