...experienced teacher and tutor in varied disciplines-- music, reading, writing, math, French-- with students ranging from underprivileged preschoolers in rural Tennessee to Houston high schoolers to adults. I never received less than a perfect score on the SAT or PSAT verbal tests, in two sittings of each test. As a musician, clarity of communication (via clear, logical syntax and rhetoric) is paramount to my teaching which makes me particularly effective for students working to internalize...

...on stage. When I was young, I loved reading but hated to write. Eventually I had teachers who showed me the power of what writing can do, and it changed my life. I'd like to be that person for my students. I tutor in many different disciplines, largely around English, as well as music on guitar and piano. I take a personal, holistic, and Socratic-based approach to learning, encouraging students to ask questions and try...

...in Neuroscience. Since college, I have tutored elementary school students in Math and English; high school students in Chemistry and Physics with learning disabilities; and college students in Neuroscience. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience. In my experience supporting struggling students, we always seem to have the most fun figuring out stoichiometry, metabolic reactions, neurotransmitters and more in prepping for college exams. I...

I am a writer and educator who is passionate about student learning. I have been a writing tutor at Duke's prestigious Thompson Writing Program where I assisted a wide variety of writing in the sciences and the humanities. I also created and led a summer workshop for public high school students to assist them in writing their college essay applications.

...I believe strongly in the importance of the tutor-student bond, knowing that best results are only reached when there exists a mutual trust. My most rigorous tutoring experiences were at the college level at Brown University, where I worked as a Brown Writing Fellow. The BWF exist as a select group of students hired to act as writing mentors and editors for the Brown community, and as part of the program, each participant had to...

...that I've acquired, and because I genuinely find the work very rewarding. I have been teaching and tutoring informally for many years now, sometimes through established positions, but more often out of goodwill. I am a member of the Northeastern Downbeats, a co-ed a cappella group on campus. In the past, I played on my high school's ultimate frisbee team and captained my high school's badminton team. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano,...

I am currently a student at New York University, majoring in International Relations and Art History. I am fluent in four languages, including French, Italian and Russian.

...they are trying to tackle with the things they are already passionate about! My tutoring philosophy is not 'repeat after me,' but rather, 'how can I work with you to find the way that this will make the most sense to you.' Not only is it easier that way, but it's also much more fun. When I'm not tutoring, I work as a writer, composer, and actor. For example, I was recently the music assistant...

...I teach. I design tailor-made lessons, readings, and assignments to cater directly to your needs and aspirations in order to make this work not only easier for you, but also fun, exciting, and illuminating. Writing is a part of everything we do, and writing well - and learning to enjoy it - can help you no matter what your goals may be. Writing does not have to be rigid, and your unique perspective always, always...

...to think for yourself. Today, too many people get their information from internet headlines, or talking heads on television, or from their families or friends, and rarely take the time to really understand the world. With such an information overload, who are we to believe? The only way is to develop a full background, with multiple viewpoints, and then to develop one's own opinions. My approach is to study history from a conceptual framework, rather...

...and as a Resident Assistant. As a teacher, I consider myself to be "A Guide on the Side, and not a Sage on the Stage." My role is to help my students generate answers and ideas on their own, as well as refining these ideas. I aid in the thinking process, ensuring that my students are understanding the material, and not simply memorizing it. I achieve these most often through practice problems and leading questions....

I have several years of vastly rewarding experiences teaching art and computer skills to high school aged students. I especially love math, as well as reading and writing, and I am eager to share my enthusiasm.

...working with people of different cultures, and truly embrace diversity. In NYC I have tutored high-schoolers in preparation for the SAT, with a focus on Reading and Essay Development. I also teach immigrants how to speak English with an American accent, and prepare them for their Citizenship exam. I am an excellent tutor because I have a genuine interest in helping my students grow and discover their true intellect. From tutoring immigrants, children, special needs...

...and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains. Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm not at work I'm likely to be found running around Central Park, debating public policy, or practicing my cooking skills.

...writing skills. I've graded hundreds of undergraduate essays, so I understand what a grader is looking for when reading a student's paper. I achieved a 335 combined GRE score (99th percentile) and I want to show you how to do the same. It requires a good understanding of the basic math concepts and a strong vocabulary, but it also requires understanding how to answer the particular types of questions you find on the GRE. My...

...many students in my undergraduate career with papers and research projects. My biggest skill is teaching people how to write, but I am also confident in my capabilities to assist in other areas such as math, history, psychology and more. I believe in positive reinforcement in order to help people achieve their highest potential. In addition, I have a personality that will keep students interested and focused in the subjects they are struggling with. I...

...background in Political Science and History. I was a teacher for two years in the New York City Department of Education, and over those two years I helped my students attain an average reading growth of 1.5 years/year for each student, and an average math level proficiency growth of 1.3 years/year per student. I have experience teaching students with a wide array of learning needs, and have experience motivating students to enjoy learning and feel...

...center tutoring students from pre-k to middle school in English and Math. I have a learning difference and was classified in first grade. Due to my difference, I have had to apply many different strategies and techniques to figure out which works best for me. I can relate to students who are struggling academically and have formed close bonds with many of the students I have worked with. I feel all students can learn and...

...benefit from my strengths to achieve academic success. I soon began tutoring, helping my peers by assessing their learning styles and developing academic strategies for them based on their strengths. I discovered a passion for helping my students succeed, and have been tutoring ever since. I graduated from Columbia with honors in 2014 with a BA in molecular biophysics, and am currently doing research in molecular biology, theoretical physics, and philosophy when I'm not tutoring....
