Award-Winning Literature Tutors in Albany, NY

...for over seven years, including at such prestigious institutions as Choate Rosemary Hall, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Fordham University with a triple major in English, Philosophy, and American studies. I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts. As a tutor, I am both flexible and patient. No two students are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather,...

I have been a tutor and teacher for over five years. I have tutored at the collegiate, high school, and middle school levels. I would love to help you learn in a positive and motivating way!

I am a gifted communicator who is capable of excelling at any task presented. An educator first in everything I do, I bring an empathetic and dutiful approach to my work that places a high premium on creating a positive learning environment. You will find me a very passionate and valuable member of the team.... I believe in a multifaceted approach that combines visual, oral, and written teaching methods that focuses on explaining both the "why" and "how" of a topic. Arguably the most difficult obstacle to overcome as a teacher is to demonstrate the importance of what is being learned in a context that the student both understands and appreciates. I make it a point to not only have a student understand the method, but also the importance of that they are learning.

...mathematics. My focus was a blend of American and intellectual history. I graduated as a member of the University Honors Program, magna cum laude, and with honors from the history department for my thesis.

I spent a year as an Americorps member tutoring and leading an after school program in Washington, DC.I worked with my...

...having someone who was willing to take the time and really explain it to me until I understood it was invaluable. As a tutor, I'll help my students set reasonable goals and I'll prepare for each session by reviewing the material myself, and I'll take the time to answer whatever questions they have. I love learning, and I want others to love it too. I'm invested in my students' progress and success. It's so rewarding...

...a Bachelor's in both Chinese and Economics. I'm originally from Albany, New York, but before moving to New York City for college I spent a gap year in France living with a host family. I have a lot of interests, but my favorite things to do are traveling, reading, learning languages, listening to music and going to concerts, surfing, and going to the movies. My favorite band is OutKast, my favorite book is Flowers for...

...others further themselves in their education by building confidence, voice and academic empowerment. My primary focus is on student engagement and building a tutor-student relationship based on trust, honesty and open-mindedness. I see student success beyond just comprehension or memorization. I help students to truly synthesize the skills and concepts they need to feel confident in their internalization of the knowledge as they reach their goals. I am available throughout the week, including summer! Let...

...part in both rugby and debate on campus. I'm a huge Beatles and Billy Joel fan, planning to go see Paul McCartney this summer if possible. As someone who played baseball in high school, I always am up to throw the ball around or talk about the game, especially if you are a New York Yankees fan. More importantly, however, I have a genuine interest in helping students succeed and empowering them with the knowledge...

...love explaining topics through a variety of interactive and interesting methods. My favorite thing about tutoring is helping people understand why what they are learning is important. Once you know why you learn something you are much more inclined to focus and challenge yourself with it. I believe education is vital in the world today but more importantly having a desire and wanting to learn is significantly more important. I make it my goal to...

...challenged to learn about themselves and their responsibilities; it is not just the content, but how the student succeeded or struggled, and what they took away, that matters. In brief, this learning-by-doing mimics lifepreparing students to assess and make decisions based on what type of person they want to be, regardless of the their interests or intellect. Like my best teachers before me, I am continually learning alongside my students, so we enter the wide...

...students can learn mathematics. I have been working as a tutor since I was thirteen for mathematics and I love every minute of it. I like tackling new mathematics and helping students view their work at different angles that might help them come to an understanding of the subject. Being able to do math, not just arithmetic, is an ability that every student has and I believe that together we can figure out how to...

...in the United States Army. This experience gave me tremendous opportunities to travel, meet new people, and challenge myself in ways that I never before imagined. I am grateful to have returned home and look forward to all that Albany has to offer. My wife and I are avid patrons of the outdoors and we are intent on hiking all 46 of the Adirondack high peaks. We also enjoy snowboarding, home remodeling, sports, and many...

...more confident test takers. Most importantly, I believe the tutoring experience should provide students with relevant skills that will make all future education more successful. Learning is a skill all its own and there are so many ways to master it. As a teacher, it is my goal to help students discover the methods and techniques that best lead to their understanding, not for just one assignment, but moving forward as a perpetual learner.

...on preventing falls to older clients, read fiction voraciously (especially classics, but I have a soft spot for fantasy novels), play the Celtic harp, co-lead a Girl Scout troop, and serve as Secretary and Webmaster for the PTO and a mental health crisis volunteer for the Medical Reserve Corps. I also enjoy family time with my marathon-running husband, four rescue cats, and my lovely eleven-year-old daughter, who is an academically and artistically gifted speed-reader, but...

...Park in 2011. I believe that education is freedom. Education allows those that were once silent to be heard. I am a great educator because I have had successful teaching experiences in the Prince George’s County Public Schools system. I am highly qualified to teach all Pre-K. through Grade 6 subjects. Evidence of student achievement is documented through standardized test scores and student learning objectives. In my spare time, I enjoy the outdoors, traveling and...

...Studies and I studied abroad in Geneva, Switzerland. In my spare time, I like to run, read, cook, and watch sports with my friends (go saints!). My favorite thing to talk about is food and I can make some pretty awesome homemade mac & cheese. I have a knack for languages: I speak French, German, and Italian, and I am learning Spanish and Arabic. I am a French tutor for Varsity Tutors and whethr you...

...I was invited to join the peer writing tutor program at Middlebury's Center for Teaching, Learning, and Research. As a peer writing tutor, I helped students improve and revise their written assignments in all subjects, but worked more extensively with first-year students in writing-intensive courses. Currently, I work as a freelance writer and editor and have edited application essays for numerous graduate school applicants, several of whom were accepted to their top choice programs. I...

...reading, soccer, surfing the web, and traveling. In terms of experience, I've worked publicly at my high-school for an after-school program, tutoring subjects from Spanish literature and English grammar to organic chemistry and calculus. Similarly, I've worked as a private tutor in SAT prep, AP test prep, and French, as the latter is my native language. For that reason, I like tutoring foreign languages, since a foreign language is a process that doubles one's ability...

...in India in the late 18th Century. I am originally from New York City and attended a very academically oriented private school, so I have first-hand experience with the stresses and concerns many students face, regardless of the school they attend. I benefited from private tuition myself and would like to consider my story a successful one, therefore I hope to carry on the benefits of tutoring to my own students. I have 7 years...
