Award-Winning High School English Tutors serving Mount Vernon, NY

...love tutoring and enjoy teaching very much. I have done tutoring in my middle school in many subjects and have enjoyed every time that I have tutored. My style of tutoring is one where I have my students reteach to me the content that I teach to them as a way for me to really know that the content has been taught. I also am a fun and interactive person so be ready for laughs...

I relate to people easily and enjoy sharing knowledge.

...and Disorders with a focus on Spanish. For graduate school, I went to CUNY City College and I received my Masters of Arts in Generalist Special Education 7-12.

While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and History. In my experience helping struggling students...

I also believe that learning at its core is a fun and exciting process. I would love to bring all of my skills to you or your...

...at NYU. I grew up just outside of Pittsburgh, PA, graduated from Penn State University in 2009 with a bachelors degree in Biology, and have been living in Manhattan for the past four years. I currently live in the East Village, a neighborhood packed with coffee shops, bars, live music, and just a generally awesome Hispanic/artsy culture. Back in college, I served as a teaching assistant and tutor for a Microbiology honors course for Biology...

I have experience working with students of all ages in subjects such as math and english (reading & writing). I can help craft and edit essays, assist with homework assignments, and help you study for upcoming assessments. I'm a runner, reader, and museum-goer. I'm a patient teacher, who will stop...

I went on to medical school at St. George's University School of Medicine where I graduated with a Medical Doctorate.

...for my BA. During my four years at Middlebury I spent a semester abroad at Oxford University in the United Kingdom studying Medieval and Renaissance History and Literature. Since college I have spent time living and farming abroad in France and traveling around Europe and America. My tutoring experience started in high school when I tutored students who struggled with new languages, a subject area I enjoy and enjoy working with. In college I began...

...I have taught social studies courses at both the high school and middle school levels, in grades 6-12, as well as in undergraduate college courses. The courses I have taught include United States and World History (AP, middle and high school on-level, and college level), Anthropology, Civics, and Law and Human Rights. For the past seventeen years, the students in my AP U.S. History classes have consistently had a passing rate between 87%-90%, and for...

...math, science, and music, since many students have difficulty understanding their real world applications. I work with the students in how to see the bigger picture of their textbook problems, which then help them remember the details. Knowing why and how these subjects relate to the real world makes them easier, and more fun to learn. I also rely on relating to my student; many times a student will find it comforting to know that...

...the politics of environmental remediation at the Hanford Site (where the US made plutonium for weapons until the late 80's). It's a dangerous site. It's also dangerous to ask any graduate student about their dissertation, since we can go on for longer than the half-life of plutonium. Don't say I didn't warn you! I am not only obsessed with things that glow in the dark. I am also fascinated with the social sciences, history, literature,...

...I was one myself! Some of my past experiences with kids include tutoring, being a camp counselor, working in a pre-school, working as an assistant director for children’s theatre, and a children commercial talent agent intern.

This year I am finishing up my Masters and will graduate in the Fall with a Masters...

...college courses, tutor for college courses, and dance instructor. These different positions have pushed me to broaden my perspective on how to communicate with students and address the topics they do not understand. While my educational background has more than prepared me to understand the basics of the science subjects that my students were studying, my goal as an instructor reaches beyond simply teaching the lesson; I also aim to spark my student's interests in...

...(K thru Pre-Calc), science (K thru High School -- biology, psychology, chemistry, physics), and English (all ages and grade levels -- literature, composition. reading skills, writing, essay editing, etc). I deeply enjoy working with children and adolescents, and work consciously to target my level of interaction and explanation to many different ages. Years of experience as the oldest cousin on both sides of my family, has given me a fine-tuned ability to encourage and engage...

"I am still learning" - Michelangelo age 87 In order to learn you have to want to learn, but that's easier said than done. My philosophy is that there is always something that can motivate you to learn, whether that be better career opportunities, higher test scores, or simply wanting to be a better you. Let's work together and unlock that potential.

...from there. Any subject, from Latin to history to math, can be a grueling exercise in rote memorization, but that's not fun for anybody, so that's not how I teach. I try to de-mystify the subject from the outset, starting with acknowledging and building on what students already know - usually more than they think. I've studied a lot of languages (Spanish, Latin, French, Turkish, Attic Greek, Ancient Hebrew, and, of course, English) and I've...
