Award-Winning Literature Tutors serving Yonkers, NY

...and passion for learning is apparent in my academic performance as well as my continued work in scientific research! I first began tutoring as a high school peer tutor in subjects ranging from AP US History, AP Spanish, AP Literature and the sciences (Biology, Environmental Science etc.). Wishing to pursue a PhD, a degree that prepares one for life as a teacher, I began serving as a TA in college in different areas of the...

Hello! I'm Nailah, and I'm a recent graduate from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, where I received my Bachelors degrees in English and Theatre. I'll be moving to New York City to pursue a career as an apprentice literary agent this June. I'm a firm believer that learning is collaborative, and I can't wait to start working with you and your student!

...former college. I'm a native Spanish and English speaker. Apart from tutoring Spanish, I also tutor English, ESL, web design, Wordpress, online marketing, and basic graphic design (PhotoShop). Although my academic concentrations differ from what I tutor, being a sociology major has elicited my public speaking, writing and presentation skills while my music minor has let my creative side flourish as a singer-songwriter and producer. These skills are just as important in learning and teaching...

...practiced bankruptcy law. I have passed the bar exam in three states via self-study on my first try for each: California (2015), New York (2020 UBE), and Illinois (2007). On the UBE I scored in the top 8 percentile. During the past few years I've taught numerous students how to pass the bar exam in many states. I am also skilled with essay writing, composition, editing, test taking strategy, literature, reading comprehension, and all areas...

...helper for elementary school students, a swim instructor, and led a bilingual workshop in Panama on environmental conservation, which culminated in the awarding of certificate degrees to 12 adult students. My favorite subjects to tutor are SAT and ACT math. While these are the subjects most students dread, I find that this is where a good tutor can induce the most "Ah ha!" moments because there are so many patterns that can help you ace...

I am passionate about helping students not only master the required material, but also refine his or her unique strategy to studying, testing, and learning!

...more knowledgeable and proficient in the selected subject matter. I want to help every one of my students achieve their goals and also help make their dreams a reality. When I am not teaching or tutoring students I enjoy playing golf and exercising. I have played golf for over 17 years and I have never broken a hundred. I promise you I am a much better teacher and tutor than I am a golfer.

Here's a secret: everybody is smart! Take it from somebody who once struggled as a student, everybody has good ideas and passions but just has to learn to express them. I'm a Poli. Sci. major who hopes to work in mental advocacy one day and I love teaching. Ready to work? So am I.

...experience tutoring math, physics, and economics. I have worked as a stockbroker on Wall Street and as an assistant in energy research at both NYU and City College; I am currently applying to PhD programs in applied mathematics. Born and raised in New York by a French mother and American father, I speak French and English bilingually and have traveled extensively in France, Japan, and West Africa. I am also an avid sports fan who...

...last spring with a paper I helped her to revise. In terms of test prep, I aim for a balance between tricks (outsmarting the test) and skill development (boosting a student's reading comprehension, vocabulary, etc.). I used to be skeptical about test strategies; I got a perfect verbal score on my own SAT and consistently scored in the 99th percentile on the verbal section of every standardized test I ever took without resorting to any...

...arguably bizarre classes from building medical devices for babies, to learning Zulu, and analyzing German fairytales. And believe me, oftentimes things just don't make sense to me. But I've found that having someone (i.e. a tutor) around can help with finding alternative ways of approaching a problem/reading a sentence. I currently write music for movies and TV shows, so if you've had enough of polynomial banter, I am always happy to talk about music, composing,...

...while I am capable of tutoring a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Writing, History, and Literature. I believe in the intellectual potential of every student, and have observed that a great many obstacles in a student's educational journey can be overcome through a personal and case-by-case approach on the part of the teacher or tutor. I also believe that early educational success is the foundation for lifetime achievement and general...

...errors. I work hard on overcoming the feelings of helplessness and hopelessness that many students experience when faced with writing. I started teaching writing in 1987. Most recently, since 2005, I have taught beginning and advanced comp at Passaic County Community College, advised and tutored students in danger of failing college at Marymount, run the writing component of the CAP program at Pace University (a program which allows students who would not normally be accepted...

...that process is incredibly fulfilling. My teaching style is very easy to work with. I like to see what the students know first, then work with them in a way that builds upon their strengths while tackling their weaknesses, so that they never feel left behind or confused. It's very important to me for the students to understand and be comfortable with the material, and I'd never want to push something on them that they're...

...to extend my passion for knowledge to the students I tutor in the hopes that they too will find how enriching it can be to embrace their studies and expand their minds. My biggest interests lie in literature and film, as evidenced by my majors, and I have known from a young age that I would like to write a book someday. In addition to these, I am devoted to the arts, the study of...

...my undergraduate degree from Emory University also in History. My legal experience includes working as a summer law clerk for two appellate judges and as a summer associate at a large law firm in New York City. In college and in law school I tutored for a variety of subjects and enjoy working with students one-on-one to tackle and master difficult concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy taking in all that New York has...

...and worked one-on-one with elementary school students at Camp Invention, a summer camp providing instruction in math and science. In my experience, the greatest strides for teaching a struggling student are made when the process of learning occurs as a product of conversation rather than rigid instruction and rote memorization. Though I tutor across a variety of subjects my passions are English, Literature, and History. Education, I believe, is a process of empowerment and helping...

...Anti-Racist Movement in Paris, and political campaigns here at home. I am a strong believer in the idea that a great education can change a child's life, and I plan on making a career of helping make sure that all students in the United States are given a fair shake. I'm a big reader of North American and Latin American literature (Faulkner, Ellison, and Garcia Marquez are some of my favorites) and also love hip-hop...

...to pursue a minor in political science and am on a pre-law track. I am originally from Birmingham, Alabama where I graduated from Vestavia Hills High School. I'm a great English student and would be more than happy to offer my help to anyone struggling with reading or writing. Additionally, I have tons of experience working with elementary age children and would love to help ease the burden of online learning in the midst of...

I love learning myself, and enjoy making the act of learning for others a more gratifying and enjoyable experience!
