...students to embrace and understand the scientific principles that govern our world. I attended Truman State University where I attained B.S. degrees in both chemistry and biology.

I currently teach upper school science (biology and chemistry) at a top rated independent school in NYC. I also tutor AP and SAT subject test in science for high school students....

...a number of roles as an educator, I take a special pleasure in prepping students for the SAT. It is a fundamentally understandable test with a limited number of patterns and question types that can be mastered with practice. The formulaic nature of the test gives me the privilege and joy of being able to reveal a manageable and orderly structure to students who had previously seen only a confusing mess of problems. Similarly, I...

...endlessly controversial topics; I love doing both. Outside of film and tutoring, I love to dance both ballet, modern, and to whatever songs my roommates and I play. I would love to be your tutor. I have been working with Varsity for the last 4 years and have watched and learned how the standardized tests have changed. I'm extremely passionate about learning to work the convoluted system that makes up college applications and teaching others...

I am available to tutor these subjects, along with other Humanities, from five years old through high school, college and...

...tutoring has always been a pleasant experience for both the student and for me. Just as I have never shied away from learning difficulties, I also have taught some very technical courses at Queens College, such as Neuroscience of Memory and Psychometrics. My evaluations (from both faculty and students) as a college professor are universally excellent, and reflect my ability to motivate students, clearly structure lessons, and make very complex material understandable. I have taught...

...art. I have supervised and created classes designed specifically for children with special needs and learning disabilities. I also have had the opportunity to work for the Time In Arts Initiative. Time In is a grant-funded outreach program working to provide enrichment through arts to Pre-K students who attend underserved and struggling public schools in the Bronx and Manhattan. At Time In I was able to combine my interests by working both as an assistant...

...I believe in individualized, custom-made teaching, if you will. I am an avid runner, and in fact, having done several half-marathons, now I am registered and training for my first full marathon later this year: NYC Marathon 2015! Wish me luck! Also, being a former piano major and a lifetime music lover, I still perform chamber music as a hobby and attend concerts and operas frequently, and of course, I'm also a great fan of...

...be able to instill my love for reading and writing in others. My favorite authors are Sylvia Plath, Hanya Yanagihara, and Donna Tartt. I recently graduated from New York University with degrees in global public health and sociology, as well as a minor in Media, Culture, and Communications.

Since graduating, I worked as a paralegal in Chicago for eight months, and I recently moved to NYC to pursue education related career opportunities. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking, running and walking outside and reading. I look forward to working with you!

...have a very enthusiastic and optimistic personality. I weightlift and read a lot in my free time and have a pretty eclectic music taste. However, I will be the first to admit I'm always a little behind the curve when it comes to new music, so any help in getting caught up is always appreciated. I'm always interested in meeting new people and learn about them and I think being a tutor is a great...

I am a PhD Candidate in History at the University of California, Berkeley but am currently living in New York while finishing my dissertation on the British Empire in India in the late 18th Century.

I attended the University of Turin, Italy, where I received a Master in Modern Art and History and moved to New York to be closer to my husband's family. My teaching credo...

...gains, but with future success as well. In school environments, students often do not receive individualized attention that seeks out the gaps in their understanding. By spending time with my student, I can assess those gaps and fill them, helping my students improve. All the knowledge in the world will amount to naught if you don't have the confidence to apply it. I build up my student's confidence, not with platitudes or empty praise, but...
