Award-Winning History Tutors serving Westchester, NY

...I am officially undecided as of now. I am currently involved with SAT Prep tutoring for underprivileged high schoolers, as well as a mentoring and homework help program for middle schoolers. Primarily, my expertise is in standardized-test-tutoring, but I am available for other subjects as well. I'm a history buff, so that's always fun for me to tutor. I understand that everybody may not have quite the same passion for these subjects as I do,...

...2008. Although I received a degree in finance, the ensuing recession set me on an alternate path of entrepreneurship, and I've founded three companies so far. As a tutor, I'm calm, laid back and patient. I try to explain how to solve each type of question and help students work through how to find the answers on their own. I focus on confidence as much as on content. I believe it's important to believe in...

...progress as students. My tutoring experiences include after-school assistance to those struggling in Ancient Greek at my former high school, to helping Juniors and Sophomores help ace the SAT. My specialty is language and history, with an emphasis on Japanese, English, Latin, US history and World History, but I am also more than happy to help out those struggling with Algebra and Geometry. As someone who was once an ESL student himself, I believe that...

...reevaluated my career path and am currently exploring new options outside of sales. One of the options I have explored over the course of this past year is education. I took multiple courses on educational theory and practice at Providence College, tutored, and spent 30 hours teaching and observing a social studies classroom at Toll Gate High School in Warwick, RI. My motivation for doing so was born of my love of history and the...

...believe every student has more potential than they realize, and recognizing this is the first step to success. Whether you need help organizing and editing your essay or research paper, or studying for your upcoming test, I want to help you do your best work. A little about me: I'm originally from Portland, Oregon and currently reside in Brooklyn, New York. I graduated cum laude from American University in 2013 with a degree in Political...

...am studying art history and museum studies. I graduated from Barnard College in 2013 with my B.A. In college I majored in art history and visual arts and minored in english. I have a history of being a homework helper with the kids that I babysit for. My strong suits are english, history, and I am also available to tutor verbal and reading for ACTS and other standardized tests. Having been tutored as a kid,...

I am a test account.

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Western, I have been teaching ELA and ESL for 15 years. I have an MAT in teaching English and an M Ed in education. My experience includes one on one Tutoring and after school compensatory classes in ELA. In teaching as a Special Education Teacher I am proficient in developing Executive Functions, and taught Study Skills in Middle School.

...and social skills that contribute to successful student performance. In the past, I tutored middle school and high school students. In addition to teaching students how to excel inside and outside of a classroom setting, I am committed to the idea that learning should be enjoyed and not seen as a chore. That is why I always do my best to maintain a relaxed atmosphere when teaching. Finally, another goal in my teaching is to...

...Bronx for high school. I am currently planning on majoring in Computer Science, and am very active in the entrepreneurial community at NYU. The clubs that I am in include the Entrepreneurial Exchange Group (an entrepreneurship club in the NYU Stern business school) and the Innovention Society (an entrepreneurship club in the NYU Tandon engineering school). I love to play basketball and work out at my local gym. I'm currently working on a clothing brand,...

...underlying structure, and then using this framework to "crack the code." Whenever I've worked with students in this manner, we've always had a total blast-- it's like a puzzle in a challenging video game, a newly-discovered leitmotif, or even an unexpected formation shift on the soccer pitch. I firmly believe that every student has the potential to truly connect and engage with the test material, whether it be the LSAT, the SAT, the AP, the...

...I am currently finishing up a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Montclair State University. Since graduating from Rutgers, I have taught virtually every academic subject (with the exception of foreign languages) to students ranging in age from 10 to 19. I also have extensive experience with all aspects of SAT and ACT preparation. I have the most experience tutoring math, and I try to teach my students that math doesn't have to be...

...my PhD in Chemistry at Columbia University. I have over 5 years of STEM tutoring experience and 1 year of teaching experience as a graduate student instructor. I have worked with students of all grade levels in various settings. This includes different sized groups from one-on-one to larger classes as well as virtually and in person. I love science, biology and chemistry especially, but math is a close second. My approach to learning is holistic,...

...I'm in New York studying theater and voice but miss my science classes and students like crazy! I'm particularly strong in biology but also totally comfortable with chemistry, English and writing, social studies/history, and test prep. As a teacher my style is to help students discover the answers on their own, and become more confident in their ability to use critical thinking. When I'm not tutoring you can find me running or playing with my...

...career, but currently I work as a paid tutor at my school's writing center during the school year, helping students who struggle with college level writing. Most of the students I tutor tend to be international students so I have a good amount of experience working with students who speak English as a second language. Obviously I tutor writing, but I also love working with literature because I love stories and I love how different...

...Since then, I have constructed curriculum for a program for middle school girls, and spent a semester training in preparation to be writing tutor at Duke’s writing center which serves graduate and undergraduate students across disciplines. I have a love for learning, and an appreciation for the richness that a interdisciplinary education provides. Helping others better understand their course materials, and, in turn, themselves as life-long learners, is a truly enriching experience.

Hello! I am a sophomore at the United States Military Academy and am looking forward to helping students on Varsity Tutors. I attribute much of my previous academic success to the tutoring I received from others, so I'm excited to pay it forward by helping other aspiring students achieve their goals.

My teaching interests include reading comprehension, social studies, science. I have created some great test taking strategies for students of all ages and abilities. As a Special Education Teacher I understand the many challenges that a student will face when having difficulty with a particular skill or a subject that they are learning for the first time. I really enjoy seeing my students reach their potential both in and out of the classroom environment.

...abilities and dreams are like my own. I want them to cultivate them and use them for the best of society. I want students to take each challenge as welcoming and surmountable. Learning is a skill that can be easily changed and used to our best advantage. Students can learn some tips from me that would give them an edge in their choice of study. Learning is not a need, but a way of life.
