Award-Winning IB Mathematics: Analysis and Approaches Tutors for Students in Manhattan, NY

...a strong passion for education. With experience working at the United Nations, leading sales for an international pharmaceuticals company, and teaching students of a wide range of ages in Korea, I excel at connecting with people on a level that they understand. As an educator, I seek to bring real-world value to whatever I am teaching, helping students to understand how the topic at hand connects to their everyday lives. I always strive to be...

...a challenge. The way I teach is pretty straightforward - the only thing I ask of students is to ask questions. Ask as soon as something comes into your mind because chances are if you are not sure of something now, you are definitely not going to be sure of it later. I, and I am certain a lot of other people, have a tendency of just nodding "yes" when being explained something, and then...

...about the world in which we live. Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans - to others. Tutoring mathematics (and standardized tests) means breaking an idea down to its most basic parts, figuring out why and...

I aim to give students the skills to approach any problem with confidence. Through active problem solving and diagnostics, even the most daunting assignments and problem sets can be deconstructed into digestible information.

...just to help students learn new material, but also to help them understand how to learn, study, and teach themselves things that they are having trouble with. This is something I struggled with throughout my academic career, and only through years of practice was I able to figure out new tricks and methods for teaching myself new material. I want to save this time and effort for all my students so that they can get...

...University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. At Colgate, I was involved in the Hamilton Central School Tutoring Program, through which I was responsible for team tutoring 10 elementary-aged students in French on a weekly basis. After graduation, I worked at Hanover Research in Washington, D.C., where I worked to support student achievement by conducting primary and secondary research for school districts across the country. Currently, I am a first-year PhD student...

...some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems. I've worked with students as young as five years old, all the way to graduate students working on their post-doc's. I always bring a positive energy to tutoring sessions, and I try to inspire a real love of learning in all my students....

Hey! I've recently moved to New York City from Wisconsin and am excited to be tutoring out here. I went to the University of Wisconsin (Go Badgers!) where I completed a double major in Business Marketing and Music Composition. I can't wait to work with you and help you to achieve your learning goals!

...Boston University where I studied Biomedical Engineering. I went on to work as a field service engineer in Atlanta, GA. I recently went back to school and received my Masters of Business Administration in Marketing from the University of Connecticut. I tutor a range of subjects, but I especially like tutoring admissions tests such as the SATs and GMATs to help enable people to reach their educational goals. In my spare time I enjoy reading...

A tutor passionate about math and understanding the material with depth. My goal is to make sure you have a thorough and deep understanding of what you are learning.

...very rewarding to help demystify them by teaching students to recognize common strategies used to confuse test-takers. In my 8 years of tutoring, I have found the "supported challenge" model of engagement is effective for students from elementary through high school. I love to learn, and I draw on that enthusiasm to get all of my students invested in their own growth. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, dancing, and reading.

I began tutoring six years ago, and have been working with a variety of age groups and subjects ever since. I have tutored in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Physics and English. I'm excited to work with students and help them learn in their own individual ways!

If you choose me to be your tutor then you will definitely ace your test. I'm a great math tutor because I understand the material thoroughly, am patient, and know how to explain things. I attended Stuyvesant High School and the University of Chicago; I am currently studying Data Science with Johns Hopkins.... If you don't get it then I'm explaining it wrong.... Before the first session, I'd have them do a bunch of practice problems...

...am fluent in the language, I love learning about new cultures and languages and am excited to continue to grow in my linguistic abilities. I think that a good teacher can make all of the difference in a student's life. As a child, I believed that I was bad at math and did not see the value in learning it. However, I had a math teacher in sixth grade who pushed and encouraged me and...

...can I say? I'm a lucky guy! To cope with the postponement of my theatre graduate program (and with an eye on my future financial situation), I decided to take a swing at the LSAT. I studied hard over a two-month period, and I took the LSAT Flex in June 2020.* *Since July, I have worked with over 20 LSAT students. With each, I have learned more about the LSAT and more about how best...

...a problem from multiple angles until the student has found an approach that is best for him or her. This requires a flexible tutor to adapt to each students individual needs. Asking questions is an integral part of the learning process and my approachable nature allows students to feel comfortable enough to ask the questions that they feel they need to. Because of this I am able to have an open and honest working relationship...

...reading and writing, I focus first on the students comprehension of the material at hand and then help the student construct an analytical argument. In subjects related to math, I review the foundational concepts in a certain topic before proceeding to assist the student with specific example problems. I always make sure to make my lessons enjoyable and relatable, so that the students attention remain on the subject matter. I am also very knowledgeable about...

...a middle school science class. During college, I spent six months as a GED tutor, working with adults. Later, I spent two years as an Organic Chemistry Laboratory teaching assistant. I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle school and high school students, as I can challenge them and help them build strong foundations during some of their most...

...In addition, I am a freelance writer, and my work has appeared in the Huffington Post, The Atlantic, and USA Today. I've also been a finalist for several national playwriting awards. Most importantly, I love working with my students. Their success is my success and I firmly believe that everyone is capable of getting better, no matter how tough the subject matter. My favorite part about teaching is when students find themselves totally comfortable with...

...language with intention yet flexibility. It loses its beauty and particularity the second discouragement spreads, the instant anxiety kicks in. I believe a good tutor must do more than teach content. She offers positive reinforcement and guidance, discerning aid every step of the way. Outside of academia, I act and sing in musicals and choirs, do improv comedy, visit art museums, and run around the city in pursuit of food. I like to eat. I...
