Sarah

Algebra Tutor • +30 Subjects

I am currently a high school teacher with four-years experience teaching Regents bearing Biology (Living Environment), Chemistry, Ecology, and Earth Science. I completed my undergraduate work at Brandeis University and received a B.S. in Biology, and B.A. in International & Global Studies. I conducted my graduate studies at Fordham University and received an M.S. in Secondary Science Education. I am currently certified in New York State for Biology 7 - 12 and am pursuing a secondary certification in SPED 7 - 12.My approach to tutoring is simple: learning does not come easily if it cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range of techniques to engage and drive my students towards their own litmus of success. I love integrating games, technology, or a points system to support students. If the first approach does not work, I am open and flexible to hearing feedback from the students and their parents in the interest of maximizing student learning.While my background is in secondary science education, my passion is in literacy education. I have worked with students from as young as Kindergarten through the college level in reading with fluency and a critical/analytical eye. This has lended me naturally into a writing tutor, allowing me to coach my students into becoming stronger writers.In working with students at the elementary level, I have also had the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics. Many of my students utilize Singapore Math, Go Math, Math in Focus, Eureka Math, or Prentice Hall Math curriculums, and I have developed quite a familiarity with these texts.I have worked with over 500 students in preparing for the Living Environment, Earth Science, and Chemistry New York State Regents in the last 4 years. I work with a range of resources including the Barron's Prep Books, EarthComm textbooks, and my self-made prep materials.My passion is in literacy education.

With my familiarity with Common Core and Common Core aligned texts and my sincere interest in finding the right "style" of learning for each unique child, I have found great joy and success in working with students in elementary school.I look forward to meeting your family and your student and working together to help your child realize their fullest, brightest potential!

Aaron

Conversational German Tutor • +11 Subjects

I received my education with the University of Michigan for my undergraduate degree of Biology with a Minor in German and four years later I completed a Masters degree in Cancer Chemical Biology with Rackham Graduate School in Ann Arbor. I am currently working towards a Doctoral Degree within the realms of Cancer Research.However, before I undertook the graduate school lifestyle, I was an English Teacher in Japan teaching kids from ages 7 to 15. It was here where I discovered that I have a latent talent for teaching. Since coming back, I have been wanting to teach once again but within the realms of my own interests; Science and Languages.Specifically I have had immense studies within the fields of Immunology, Virology, Microbiology and recently Research Sciences. To the languages I studied Spanish, German and Japanese.My favorite subjects to teach would have to be Science and Languages. My teaching philosophy and style is a bit different than most conventional teaching. Depending on the student I will bring the material to "their world" and try to bring parallels to how their own personal interests can correlate or help describe the subject at hand.Additionally my main goal is not to teach but to help lead to understanding. If the student truly understands the material at hand the brute force method of pure memorization is not needed.Outside of Academia, I have an interest within video games, nature and the Japanese martial art Aikido. An unusual combination yet, it is through them which enable me to react appropriately to any situation with a calm and curious demeanor in problem solving.To students who are considering my mentorship, I personally guarantee that I will try my best to help you understand and in the event that I do not know the answer I will be sure to follow up on any questions that I cannot answer at that time.The pursuit of knowledge is not an easy task, but I will make it my duty to make it as seamless as possible.

Mari

Japanese Tutor • +1 Subjects

I am passionate about teaching Japanese, and would love to help you meet your language goals! I help students by listening to their aims, setting their goals, motivating students depending on their levels and introducing current and interesting topics in addition to their textbooks. I often assist students outside of lessons by e-mail, and love to teach via Skype to help busy people learn Japanese.I have been teaching Japanese for 25 years, here and abroad. As a professional teacher, I've taught beginning to advanced students, privately, and at universities such as Harvard, The Ohio State University, Indiana University, the University of Maryland, and the University of Hawaii. My students include business people (Microsoft, Boston Scientific, Bosch, IBM), State Department candidates, military officers, spouses, college students and younger children. While my specialty is working with learners to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (JLPT), I have also helped people learn survival-level Japanese ahead of a business trip, taught specialized vocabulary to land an internship, and helped anime and manga fans better enjoy those popular Japanese arts. The variety of teaching experiences I have had means that I adapt easily to your goal. I am used to working with a variety of students and textbooks, so it is no problem for me to switch between a first-timer learning simple greetings and an advanced student working on complex kanji constructions. Let me help you achieve your goal!

Paul

College English Tutor • +11 Subjects

I graduated from the University at Albany with a Bachelor of Arts in Chinese Studies, where I studied up to advanced level language courses in Mandarin Chinese as well as minored in Japanese studies. I also have extensive experience working one-to-one with students from my position as a Learning Center Writing Consultant where I assisted students in academic writing. By far one of the most rewarding milestones of tutoring is the moment you witness the student satisfied with the achievements you have helped them accomplish. Tutoring is a collaborative process whereby tutor and student work towards a common goal of academic success and achievement. I enjoy tutoring in ESL, Chinese, Writing, and beginner Japanese. Aside from tutoring, I am a musically inclined individual who dabbles in a number of musical instruments.

Dylan

ACT Prep Tutor • +49 Subjects

I am a freshman Computer Science major enrolled in the McCormick School of Engineering at Northwestern University. I have a passion for teaching students, and I am experienced with having to give one-on-one guidance in teaching many concepts. Tutoring is very rewarding for me because I am driven to help others and give whatever knowledge I have gained over the years in every field. I also have experience dealing with situations in which students are not quickly or readily grasping concepts, and I have developed the patience to handle these situations. Teaching is just as rewarding for the student as it is for me, because I am thrilled when I see others achieve, and I would love to be part of the process. In addition to high school AP courses and test prep, I have taken college level multivariable calculus, linear algebra, physics electricity/magnetism and mechanics, computer programming (c++, matlab, LISP/Scheme), Dynamics of Systems, and Mechanics of Systems.

Mackenzie

AP Japanese Language and Culture Tutor • +11 Subjects

I strive to teach students in an interactive way tailored to each student's individual needs, wants, and preferred method of study. As a student, I was consistently left disappointed with teachers who just taught curriculum with no real student engagement, so I seek to change that. I am a graduate of the University of Washington with degrees in Japanese History and Korean Language and Linguistics, with minors in Japanese language as well as Linguistics. I work as an editor and localizer in my spare time and am also an avid gardener and needleworker. While I tutor a variety of subjects, my favorites are Japanese and English. Communication is of utmost importance to me and the more languages learned, the easier it is to communicate and understand the world around us. I have been studying Japanese for 19 years and have a native fluency.

Xintong

Algebra Tutor • +17 Subjects

I received my bachelor degree in statistics from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign this year. With a solid foundation of statistics, Id like to help more students to improve their grades and find their own way of tackling the subject. I'd like to share my learning tips I got when I was a student. Besides statistics, I am also interested in tutoring algebra and calculus. I like to encourage students to ask questions to ensure they completely understand the content and could apply to new problems. The sudden moment when the students understand something they've been struggling with is the truly rewarding to me.Outside of tutoring, I like to watch movies, anime and listen to indie music.
