...have seen children thrive and excel in otherwise difficult subjects if they have the tools to approach learning. I am well versed in differentiated instruction, am creative, and always get to really know my students and their learning styles so that I can help them. In addition to my teaching experience, I have given many workshops on the Common Core State Standards and know what is required to be successful on state tests.

...and seniors structure, craft, and refine their essays. My approach towards teaching is to focus on long-term learning: yes, we'll master tips, tricks and test strategies, but we'll also work on developing the key skills and approaches that will help you succeed in all areas. I truly believe there's no one method for success -- it's a matter of figuring out what works for you and understanding your own strengths and weakness. And, of course,...

...mentoring, and tutoring students of all ages. I have 7+ years of tutoring experience, with a focus on college admissions and standardized test prep (SAT, PSAT, ACT, GRE, and various AP tests).

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the visual and fine arts scene in New York, reading and writing poetry,...

...I work one-on-one with students, most of whom have special needs, to improve their grades and standardized test scores; many students have seen significant improvements in their writing scores since receiving my help. Prior to working with OCS, I was a peer tutor for the Hunter College Reading and Writing Center; in only one semester, many students who struggled with writing were able to earn As on their papers! My goal is to instill a...

...had such a great experience with my teachers and professors in high school and college. They were positive role models for me, and they got me interested in their subjects. This is what I want to do for my students.I currently hold an Associate's degree in Humanities and Sciences from my college's Honors program, and I am working on my Bachelor's. I completed a study abroad program in London, where I read English literature, toured...

...thinking skills, and I support teachers in creating curriculum that is accessible and engaging for students across cultures, abilities, skill levels, and interests. As the director of IntegrateNYC4me, I work to transform NYC public schools into a system of integrated, equal, accessible schools by organizing students and school communities to advocate for change. I also work on the organizing council of Teachers Unite, supporting school communities to build strong communities and create alternative systems of...

...trained as a total immersion language instructor by the Ann Arbor Language Partnership and taught Communicative Spanish classes in the Ann Arbor Public School System for two years.

While I tutor a broad range of...

...about teaching both Biology and Mathematics and feel that every student should learn to not only understand the subjects, but enjoy the learning experience. I make sure to have a series of activities and examples (usually a hands on activity) that will help a student understand the concepts behind their problems and make sure to personalize my teaching style to the student's learning style. Outside of teaching, I am an avid reader, a writer, and...

While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, and across a wide-range of grade-levels, I am most proud of and most passionate about my work in literacy. Creating a joyful community of reading and writing - whether for an entire school, or for a small group - has...

...degree. I'm great with standardized tests, SAT, PSAT, AP; if the College Board makes you sit in a room for it, I can probably help you out, and of course I have experience with New York's SHSAT. Most of my past tutoring experience was helping classmates with history, English and literature courses, and I've also led a few coding workshops. When I'm not working or reading, I usually can be found with video games and...

...biggest parks in The Bronx letting my curiosity lead the way. While reading, I focus on methods authors use to keep my interest and show my students how to use those methods to improve their own writing. I find the history of our country and our planet to be amazing and have developed projects that make learning about it more interesting. I must admit that like many students, I hated math growing up, but somehow...

I just graduated from the University of Connecticut Honors Program where I designed an interdisciplinary curriculum combining economics, political science, and sociology. I also minored in Human Rights and Urban and Community Studies. I graduated magna cum laude with a 3.8 GPA, a member of two honor societies, and a New England Scholar. I've...

...Secondary Education with a focus on English. Saint Joseph's College not only shaped me as a teacher, but also as a writer. After I graduated, I landed an internship for a Manhattan-based music magazine which eventually turned into employment. I spent four and a half years writing for print and learning the endless rules of grammar. This has been most beneficial for my students whose writing continues to blossom. As a music journalist, my schedule...

Sometimes we just need a little boost to make progress and learning something you look forward to. I went to Tulane University for graduate school and Morgan State for undergraduate. During that time I helped students of all ages with test prep, essay writing, college courses, English, spelling, you name it. Just like in sports, practice makes progress!

During school, I was able to study abroad in Madrid, Spain, where I was able to practice my Spanish while learning about another culture (I miss the paella very much). I previously worked with the San Diego Zoo’s Education department and am currently a private tutor/nanny in New York City. Personally, I love reading almost any kind of literary fiction (though I have quite an affinity for...

...I specialize in SAT and ACT preparation for high school student. I am also interested in tutoring college students preparing for the GRE general test. For test preparation, I assign a decent amount of homework each week and I spend the majority of my sessions going over the questions my students answer incorrectly. While all of my "professional" and "academic" qualities are certainly important, I think it's also necessary for you to understand more about...

...a more fulfilling life has always been how my life gets fulfilled! I am a cum laude graduate of Drew University (theatre arts), Marygrove College (masters in teaching) and Rowan University (graduate endorsement in special education). I have learned a massive amount in the areas of how to capitalize on the interests and strengths of individuals through the use of respecting and understanding your childs learning styles and strengths. This gives me the ability to...

...University, a year early, with a bachelors degree in Biochemistry. My science background has taught me the value of good teaching, and has consequently impacted how I, myself tutor students. I tutor students in the SAT/ACT math and writing sections, biological sciences, and middle school level math/algebra. My goal in tutoring each student is to not only get the student to understand the material, but to also enjoy their process of learning!
