Award-Winning History Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...at American Language Communication Center in Manhattan. I am responsible for crafting and executing lesson plans, which I strive to make as engaging and effective as possible. Prior to teaching English I was a journalist and writer for seven years, contributing to publications such as The Village Voice, LA Weekly, and Minneapolis City Pages. These experiences honed my writing and grammar skills to the highest level in addition to fostering a love of language which...

...scholars, entrepreneurs, corporate professionals, and independently published writers, to name a few. I am adept at personalized pronunciation practice and error correction for English language learners, as well as in-depth drafting and line-by-line revision for students of academic writing and business communications. Most recently, I earned my Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (CELTA) from Cambridge (Pass B). Additionally, I hold a Master's of Fine Arts degree from Brown University (Literary Arts,...

...major on the Pre-Med track. I am currently a medical student on the road to become a Pediatrician. I tutor different science subjects as well as government and politics. I have over 10 years experience with working with children, directing choirs, teaching and tutoring math, biochemistry, physiology from middle school, high school, college and medical students. My ultimate goal as a tutor is to make learning for my students enjoyable and fun for them to...

...a historical event to an ongoing, contemporary controversy. Or I would encourage students to think of historical figures as actual characters with goals and motivations instead of just a name on a page. Likewise, when tutoring vocabulary, I would encourage students to make an educated guess about a word's meaning by thinking of other words with similar roots. Through it all, students need to feel that their tutor is someone dependable, trustworthy, and fun to...

...confident about the knowledge on which they will be examined. I understand that these important tests can be stressful experiences for many people, so I also work with students to develop strategies to overcome any anxiety that might get in the way of a student not demonstrating his or her full potential. I enjoy tutoring a variety of subjects, but I find it especially rewarding to guide students in taking ownership over their writing as...

...Special Education teacher and am currently teaching in a 3rd grade classroom. I have experience with students from ages 4-14, and students of mixed backgrounds and disabilities. I believe that every child deserves an excellent education and the support needed to achieve their goals. I am an extremely hard worker and I am constantly trying to find new ways to help my students grow intellectually, emotionally, and socially. Every child is unique, and I believe...

...I am driven by a desire to help people succeed because I believe that almost everything in this world comes down to how we were taught. It took me years to learn to swim. I got the stroke patterns down early but it wasn't until someone told me to exhale all the way through not just into the water but as my face is leaving the water that I really got it. The same applies...

...my advisees on individual papers and tests, and also on how to take their development into their own hands and rise to their full potential. So, students and parents, I hope you will look to me for my many years of experience teaching and advising, for help with my strongest specific topic areas - Writing, English, Philosophy, and the Social Sciences - but also as someone who strives to empower a student globally, and someone...

...specialty specifically lies in the fields of Abnormal Psychology, Psychopharmacology, and Clinical Psychology. I will complete my degree by Fall 2019. I primarily tutor primary and secondary level Psychology, Math, Biology, General and Organic Chemistry, History, and Political Science. I cater my approach at a conceptual level. This way, students don't just memorize details, but actually understand the concepts. In my experience, the more the students can understand a concept, the better they can perform...

...fun and test-taking doesn't have to be tedious. In addition to tutoring, I also teach drama, sing, and play piano. I am always seeking out new ways to reach my students and get them excited in the learning process-- no boring textbook readings here! I received my B.A. from Macaulay Honors College at Queens with Highest Honors in English/ Drama. I was also awarded the Robert Greenberg Memorial Prize for best performance in the English...

...and ages. While I am confident in tutoring a wide-variety of subjects, science is my passion and I have a great love of biology. As a student, I always enjoyed learning most through examples and case studies, and when appropriate, I enjoy bringing in my research and patient experiences as a way to illustrate core concepts. Outside of academics, I was a wrestler for 17 years and enjoy sports, the outdoors, and studying history.

...and Journalism. Though journalism and writing is my chosen career path, I have a strong foundation in Mathematics and spent much of my school years competing in national and local Math competitions (alongside a brief internship spent at NASA's Kennedy Space Center engaging in robotics design). Before I began my graduate degree, I worked as a full-time teaching associate at Success Academy Charter Schools, where I served as a lead Mathematics instructor and academic advisor...

...joy for me since the beginning, and an endeavor I have been eager to continue pursuing. There's something unique and inherently wonderful about the ability to express thoughts in multiple languages. Often times there is no translatable comparison, and it's through these discoveries that I have been able to truly understand a seemingly foreign culture. I am also an accomplished pianist with a classical background, and very much enjoy teaching piano to students of any...

...school in history, english, psychology, philosophy and others, so I am confident that I can tutor in any subject at least up to a high school level. Another area I am proficient in is SAT/ACT test tutoring. My SAT test scores are 770 in English and 800 in Math, and while I never took an official ACT test, my practice score was a 34. Please contact me if you are interested in a tutor with...

...learning style. I am always looking for fun activities to help them understand what they are learning. All of my students improve academically. I received my bachelors degree in psychology. I have been tutoring children since I was 14. I tutor in reading, writing, social studies, and math. My favorite subject to tutor in is reading because it is an important subject and it can help the student to improve in all subjects. Some of...

...all the more authentic due to my previous experience growing up as someone who faced learning difficulties in math and who entered the STEM field with a non-science background. I know what it feels like to struggle, and I also know how to overcome negative expectations about our ability (both those from people around us and those we have internalized) in order to succeed academically. For this reason, in addition to teaching content and helping...

...publications such as Good Housekeeping, Real Simple and theGrio I'm here to help your inner writer shine.

...Science and Computational Biology. As a former high school student eager to make my application the strongest and genuine as possible, I fell in love with the college application process. I have written and edited countless personal statements to college supplemental questions. Along with my interest in college applications, I also gathered various helpful strategies and techniques applicable in many situations on standardized exams--and understandable for any type of student! For all of my students...

I am a full time teacher with a passion for providing engaging, fulfilling instruction for my students. With a Master's Degree in Social Studies Education and a passion for literacy, I am the perfect tutor for anyone looking for assistance in any history subject, English, or test prep!

...in the former. I have worked as a Teacher's Assistant at Vassar College as well as at the Montclair Art Museum summer program for children. I often worked one on one with students improving their proficiency in Spanish. I am a published poet and playwright, a standup comedian, and a jazz guitarist. I hope to share my passion for literature, modern history, the Spanish language, and more with students in person in New York City!
