I am available by both phone and email; my contact information is available below. Thank you so...

...ambassador for the English department at my college. During school, I was able to study abroad in Madrid, Spain, where I was able to practice my Spanish while learning about another culture (I miss the paella very much).

Personally, I love reading almost any kind of literary fiction (though I have quite an affinity for...

...ACT prep and am certified to teach all secondary math. I also wrote curriculum based on the Common Core standards in geometry. As a teacher, I was committed to getting to know my students’ unique interests and academic needs in order to best assess how they interacted with material.

...can be broken down into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually you won't believe that you ever found any...

...a forensic biologist at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in New York City. I am passionate about tutoring the ACT, high school math, biology, and English. My greatest ACT tutoring success story was increasing a student's overall score from a 23 to a 28 in a matter of 8 weeks during the summer of 2015. Ideally, I would like to tutor students preparing for the ACT and advise them as they prepare to...

...helping students improve on standardized tests. I have over three years of experience tutoring students from grade 4-11 for a wide range of subjects. I am particularly passionate about helping students improve in reading comprehension, vocabulary building, and essay writing. While many students find these subjects daunting, I think that with the right strategies, anyone can improve in these areas.

...is in SAT and ACT test prep, but I have also done tutoring in the maths and sciences and English composition. While I am a Mechanical Engineering major, I have always had a profound appreciation for great literature and for writing good English, and I would love to pass that along to all of my students. Whenever I tutor, my main objective is not simply to plant more knowledge in the student's mind, but to...

...the Journal of International Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored to the student's unique attributes. I recently moved to the...

...an attorney who has lived and studied abroad, my teaching style is influenced by my broad experiences and big-picture mentality, understanding that students learn in different ways. I believe the most important thing in teaching is to frame the problem in a way that the student can understand what the bigger questions are, and to create their own frameworks to address issues without outside assistance. I also believe in encouraging consistent and efficient study habits...

I think that with the right attitude, any subject can be interesting and enjoyable, and I hope to instill the same sense of passion for these subjects in my students.

...creativity, and patience are crucial skills in effective education, and I strive to utilize them in all of my sessions. Additionally, I teach Arts courses at the Museum of the Moving Image, and have found that asking guided questions is a far more powerful method of learning and retention than is typically true of material taught through lecturing. I love humor and try to use it as a motivation technique, relating coursework to each student's...

...at risk or are currently failing, and before school, I offer supplementary SAT help to our school's most advanced students. Now, I am seeking teaching positions for writing as I transition to graduate school next year at Columbia University for fiction. My entire academic career has focused on meaning that could be derived from literature, and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication. When I began teaching, I emphasized to my students the importance...

...have also written English and Humanities curriculum for students from a variety of backgrounds and ages. I have been working in education, primarily in tutoring and afterschool programs, for the majority of my career, and there are few experiences I enjoy more than building relationships with students and watching them grow and develop as people and scholars. I love helping students gain both the academic knowledge to succeed and the confidence to know that even...

...up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees. I attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but...

...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...
