Award-Winning History Tutors in Albany County, NY

In the words of Bill Nye, my mission statement is to change the world.... My teaching philosophy involves creating interest in the subject at hand.... I would want to get to know the student, and see what they are capable of. I'd like to know their favorite books, their favorite movies, and things they like.... A student becomes an independent learner by loving what they do, and understanding all of the simple things that go into a complex thing.

...worked youth and adult of all ages and have achieved success with every age group I have worked with. I love sharing my knowledge with people in a fun and engaging way. I love explaining topics through a variety of interactive and interesting methods. My favorite thing about tutoring is helping people understand why what they are learning is important. Once you know why you learn something you are much more inclined to focus and...

I am a gifted communicator who is capable of excelling at any task presented. An educator first in everything I do, I bring an empathetic and dutiful approach to my work that places a high premium on creating a positive learning environment. You will find me a very passionate and valuable member of the team.... I believe in a multifaceted approach that combines visual, oral, and written teaching methods that focuses on explaining both the "why" and "how" of a topic. Arguably the most difficult obstacle to overcome as a teacher is to demonstrate the importance of what is being learned in a context that the student both understands and appreciates. I make it a point to not only have a student understand the method, but also the importance of that they are learning.

...flexible and patient. No two students are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather, I try to meet students where they are, and find ways to help them accomplish whatever goals they have in mind, be it an SAT score, a better writing style, or a new approach to studying history. I have helped hundreds of students with SAT preparation, and have worked both around the United States and internationally...

...be an economics major, and take part in both rugby and debate on campus. I'm a huge Beatles and Billy Joel fan, planning to go see Paul McCartney this summer if possible. As someone who played baseball in high school, I always am up to throw the ball around or talk about the game, especially if you are a New York Yankees fan. More importantly, however, I have a genuine interest in helping students succeed...

...Watervliet Elementary in a special education setting. In September, I hope to be getting my own classroom where I can finally have a group of my own students to prepare them for their next step in life. I've been passionate about pursuing a teaching career since high school because I had that one teacher that I looked up to and told myself that I wanted to be "that teacher" (a rememberable one/one they look up to)....

It is my goal to help students learn material if they find themselves struggling in class or with a professor. Sometimes a more personalized environment is better for learning.

...on standardized tests required for graduation and college. I take an approach to tutoring that is fun, while emphasizing content and using memory tricks to help students memorize important material. I have a bachelor's degree in Music Industry from SUNY Oneonta and a Master's in Teaching from Union Graduate College. I currently teach ninth and tenth grade Global History and also AIS remediation for students who have previously failed the Global History Regents. I love...

...these skills boil down to the four Cs--critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and creative problem solving. The best teaching is relevant, and endures. My students are challenged to learn about themselves and their responsibilities; it is not just the content, but how the student succeeded or struggled, and what they took away, that matters. In brief, this learning-by-doing mimics lifepreparing students to assess and make decisions based on what type of person they want to be,...
