...I work with leaves with an understanding of the content that I teach them. I do not only have my students strive for excellence, but I want them to find what they love about learning overall. Especially, in a subject they are struggling with. It is important when you are teaching a child that we get them invested in their own education. It is not enough for a teacher to be the only one invested.

My goal as a tutor is to build students' skills and confidence at the same time, to deescalate the vulnerabilities of the learning process, and to promote sincere curiosity and joy in learning!

...most enjoy teaching algebra because it is such an important building block for all other types of math and necessary in everyday life. I believe that learning should be fun and enjoyable. When tutoring, I like to try to introduce educational games, if possible, but always try to have a lighthearted nature with students to foster a fun environment where learning and studying does not feel like a chore. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...My favorite thing about tutoring is helping a student figure out how to do things by himself/herself. It's super rewarding! I am an excellent tutor because I am enthusiastic and generous. I do not punish mistakes, but try to encourage the development of good study habits, rather than just feeding answers. With writing, I believe it is most important to give constructive criticism that a writer can use to develop his or her style further....

...opportunities I would ever be a part of. At Kumon, I worked with hundreds of students who were challenged with mastering the subjects they were expected to learn and challenged with material they were yet to know; it was both difficult and satisfying to see students struggling with a subject develop over time. Most of the jobs I have worked since then have allowed me to watch kids from elementary to high school grow over...

...Spanish speaker, I have first-hand experience reading, writing, and conversing in Spanish. I am able to help all learners improve their Spanish skills to reach and realize their goal. As a doctoral student, my writing skills have helped and allowed me to become a successful candidate for the final phases of the program. My virtual residency required that I maintain open communication that was critiqued and refined on a daily basis. Contact me if you...

...evaporated when their time had run out. Of course, the reality of their situation was always much different. Nearly all teachers work tirelessly for their students, rarely thinking about much other than teaching--especially in their first few years. (I know, because I became a first-time teacher.) When I began teaching, this knowledge spiraled me into a state of profound reflection. For the first time, I took seriously all of the pressures on this position--out of...

Through my formal education, internships, and jobs, I have gained respect for professions that assist children in educational settings. I have gained valuable work experience while working with children. My first work experience after graduating UCLA was as a Group Leader for middle school students in New York. I advised them on the importance of developing necessary skills while transitioning to young adolescents. Soon after, I worked as an Elementary School Counselor where I supervised...

...Henry. I am a Columbia University graduate and post-baccalaureate student in Natural Sciences. At Columbia, I studied French and mandarin Chinese. Now, I am studying Biology as I prepare to apply to medical school. My background in different subjects means that I am used to using different learning methods to master whatever I am studying, and am hoping to help students think differently about whatever they find challenging. Looking forward to mastering new topics together!

...even more importantly, you take pride in working way harder than the average student. Back in the day, a great tutor helped me achieve a score I could be proud of on the SAT, and I enjoy paying it forward. Finally, Latin because that was my major I studied Classics at Brown University. Classics is all about making connections between the literature, art, politics and philosophy of ancient Rome and Greece to form a narrative...

...University where I obtained my B.S. in Physics with a minor in Math. I have years of experience as a tutor and teacher's assistant in different institutions, including Bergen Community College Tutoring Center, which was ranked as the best tutoring center for two-year college institutions in the country. I love to help people and I work hard to find creative ways of teaching, from basic concepts in Algebra to Advance Calculus and high-level Physics.... Everyone has...

...were good and sometimes, rough. But, I have always enjoyed when I learned something, and even more when others gain or do well at something with my help. I believe one can never "change" another person but can always "influence" others to grow. I enjoy bringing a positive and calm energy to lessons. I enjoy sharing with my students the methodology that had made me a top student, test taker or anything I have desired...

...technician at a virology lab. My passion belongs to the field of scientific research, specifically from the pharmaceutical aspect and in development of new drugs or therapies. I am most experienced with tutoring young groups in reading, writing, and mathematics. With my broader knowledge in science and advanced math, I hope to also tutor these subjects to all struggling students. I want to make the seemingly difficult, dry subjects fun and interesting! I believe that...

...key to mastering any subject-I believe- is the ability to identify and understand grey areas and edge-cases in the material. I help my students identify these critical questions and answer them to the best of my abilities. I will admit, however, when I don't know the answer to a question. Rather than mislead my students, I always prefer to research an answer or attack the question together. I help my students get to the bottom...

...to be the best tutor, but also to be patient and understanding. This is because I have lived the frustration of not understanding a subject myself. This pushes me to read and go find the help that I need. Living this myself makes me devoted and goal oriented, and motivates me to help my students even more. I want to get my PhD in I.O. in the future and develop more and better skills to...

...subject goes beyond the particular academic circumstances they are in. Lastly, Nietzsche on the greatness of Greek and Roman culture: "All the prerequisites to a learned culture, all the methods of science, were already there; man had already perfected the great and incomparable art of reading profitably that first necessity to the tradition of culture, the unity of the sciences". In this vein, I believe that teaching careful and thoughtful reading is one of the...

...it, and can tutor it. These would include developmental, neurobiological, personality, clinical, and cognitive. Most people need to learn two things about writing: how to make it natural, and how to organize it. I was taught by outstanding writing teachers: write first, organize later. This is how I work with my students. Tutoring is all about communication. I can take complex, forbidding material and break it down in different ways, until the light goes on.

...my academic career. I have taught English as a second language in both the United States and Mexico to grade school, high school, and college age students as well as adults. I tutored math, study skills, and sociology in college. I love science, and I have a knack for making difficult topics easy to understand. Chemistry is my favorite subject, and I have taught college courses and mentored students in the laboratory. I am passionate...
