...as a certified secondary school Math teacher, and also tutored my birth and foster children in elementary school through high school. I love tutoring children of elementary through high school ages individually, learning what they don't understand and how they think, and tailoring my approach to their particular needs and style rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. I am particularly proud of helping a high school senior improve his SAT scores by over 300 points...

Mathematics is a fundamental tool for understanding and exploring the real world.... My teaching philosophy is to maximize the potential of each student, and to help them find the best solution and learning skills for them by using my professional knowledge and patience.

...time working and teaching with the STEP Program. This program allowed me both the classroom setting and one-on-one teaching experiences. I enjoyed teaching with a class and encouraging the students to participate and work together while the one-on-one tutoring allowed me to take time with each student and ensure that they were comfortable with what had been reviewed. I myself had been an NYU student for both my undergraduate and graduate careers where I studied...

...and Global History. My teaching philosophy is that I believe the best way to learn subjects are through repetition of solving problems. I find that most of the students’ ultimate goals are passing the Standardized tests or exams. It is important that each student identifies the reason that he or she is studying for. Once that goal is vividly envisioned by the student, he or she will find enjoyment and satisfaction in understanding and applying...

As a student who has struggled with many subjects herself, I understand what its like to struggle academically and what it takes to overcome those struggles. The greatest way I was able to overcome my struggles was by having a great teacher. Hence it became my personal mission to help other students the way I received help by imparting all the knowledge I obtained from my teachers on to other students.

Extremely patient tutor in Chemistry and Math, able to change teaching methods to meet the specific needs of students of all grade levels and learning abilities.

...College in Waterville, Maine, where I studied Mathematics and Philosophy. At Colby, I worked as a tutor for both the Mathematics Department and the Writing Center, so I have experience working with a wide range of subjects. I enjoy tutoring math more than any other subject, mainly because that's what I've specialized in over the past few years. However, I also had a fantastic time working at my college's writing center, so I have no...

I am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

...am a junior at NYU. I graduated from Minnetonka High School, which is in a suburb of Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am also a dog walker with Rover in my time outside of school. I love music (I play piano and flute) and the tv show New Girl. This past year I tutored 4th grade ELA and math, 6th grade ELA and math, pre-k, and SAT. I would love to work on something with you!

...themselves, use context clues to answer reading questions, and gain a better understanding of their English material. As a tutor, my style is to have fun with my students and establish a friendly bond. I find that this makes the learning come much easier, and paints a picture of their understanding beyond the homework page. I like to know what my students are interested in, how they enjoy school, their favorite subjects, their day-to-day, their...

...I tutored a number of kids in my hometown, mainly in math. However, I am also able to tutor Spanish, writing, and physics. I think that keeping the student constantly engaged and involved is essential to his or her learning the material well. Actively working through the material and doing practice problems is just as important as understanding the theory behind the subject matter. This is the basis for my tutoring techniques.

...of any subject is extremely important in understanding the subject. Therefore, while tutoring I like to keep things simple by explaining my students the concept behind any question and how to tackle it. Hence, providing them with the mindset in answering future questions all by themselves. Even though I tutor people, I honestly believe that everyone is learning from each other. Knowing that students whom I teach can go ahead in their lives with confidence...

...about new cultures and languages and am excited to continue to grow in my linguistic abilities. I think that a good teacher can make all of the difference in a student's life. As a child, I believed that I was bad at math and did not see the value in learning it. However, I had a math teacher in sixth grade who pushed and encouraged me and made me love it. I then went on...

...University of Pennsylvania in May 2013, majoring in Biochemistry and minoring in Mandarin Chinese. Since graduation, I have spent my time finishing premed requirements for my future applications to medical school, visiting my family in Italy, and privately tutoring students in New York City high schools. Having been raised in New York City myself, I have first-hand experience with the rigorous academic curriculums and standardized tests with which many New York City students are challenged....

Hi! My name is Jordan and I'm a Chemistry major at Dickinson College. I have more than 3 years of tutoring experience and I'm excited to work with you on anything you're struggling with.

...in the subject. By fostering a safe and trusting environment it helps me engage with the student in a way that allows me to know exactly where they are in the material and where they struggle. By doing so, I will provide the tools and resources to give the students the opportunity to excel. I push my students to become the experts. I believe they truly know the material when they can teach the material...

...RPI in Troy, NY! I've been tutoring for a few years now and in topics like maths (from simple arithmetic to calculus 2), chemistry, biology, and even the SATs, it's been a full circle experience for me. I really empathize with how frustrating certain concepts can be at first, but with the right resources and a better understanding of how each student learns, the experience can become much more enjoyable (or at least more tolerable)...

...just graduated from Lehigh University with a B.A. in Computer Science and a minor in Theatre. In the fall, I'll be attending law school at Columbia Law, and I hope to pursue cybersecurity law while I'm there. I have a ton of experience tutoring in many different areas, however my specific specialty areas are Computer Science, Math (up to Calculus 2), and test prep. I love theatre, music, and video games, and I love learning...
