I believe a teacher models the ideas, skills and behaviors that they wish their students to gain. I believe a teacher with a comprehensive approach to teaching by incorporating multiple styles of learning and technologies can encourage learning and engagement effectively in the classroom. The words below briefly describe what I believe a teacher should seek to cultivate in themselves, so that in turn their students can develop the same qualities in themselves.Knowledge, Curiosity, Literacy, Professionalism, Critical ThinkingCreativity

Chris

ACT Prep Tutor • +34 Subjects

I'm an expert SAT tutor.I have over five years experience tutoring this test and over 15 years teaching experience, and I get great results from the index card method.I show my students how to make custom index cards from all of the problems that they've missed on the test. The cards allow them to re-confront the questions which they missed on the practice tests, again and again, until the ideas and understandings that form the solution become integrated into their current skill set.Complete explanations, which I review with them, point by point, are printed on the back, first by me, and then, by imitation, by them. I stress the quality of each of these seemingly obvious steps, because the effectiveness of my method depends upon all of them working together. I insist on a minimum of three problems reviewed in one session and focus on the student adopting the method of short, very frequent review of the material, throughout the day. This technique works! Ambitious students will use this method in whatever they choose to study in the future, so the techniques they learn in my little SAT bootcamp is well worth the money.

I recently graduated from Lund University in Sweden with a master's in biology. I specialized in plant science, and my combined excitement for history and botany led me to focus my thesis research in the Lund and Stockholm herbaria. During undergrad, I attended UNC Chapel Hill, where I double majored in biology and history. I'm passionate about science education and believe in using a variety of different learning methods to more thoroughly grasp concepts.

Alex

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +25 Subjects

I'm Alex. I've lived in NYC for 7 years and currently live in Downtown Brooklyn. I work in marketing but have a strong background in Speech Language Pathology. I also make ceramics and practice improv, which I believe contribute to my dynamic approach to tutoring.I have a Bachelor of Science from New York University and a Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Brooklyn College. Prior to Graduate school I worked as a tutor for children between the ages of 7-12 focused on phonological awareness, reading comprehension, writing skills, and vocabulary. I taught college courses during my time at Brooklyn College in science, public speaking, and an overview of speech language pathology. I love teaching a variety of subject matter in creative ways as I believe true understanding comes when you are truly immersed in a topic. I really enjoy finding activities that encourage individuals to enjoy the tasks that are challenging them by incorporating favorite topics and games.I have experience working with individuals ages 0-99 years old. Through my graduate study I also worked closely with individuals with special needs. I understand that tutoring involves individualizing lesson plans because everyone learns differently. I love finding the methods that work best for my students and seeing the joy that comes from success in the classroom. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!I love teaching English as a second language. Learning a language is frustrating at times but it can also be a lot of fun. I believe the more applications you have with a language and the more engaged you are the better your understanding will be. There are so many creative ways to approach learning a new language and I love working together with my student to find the ways that make it the most enjoyable and effective.

I have had wonderful experiences being tutored for the SATs and GREs and hope to help students have as enjoyable and fruitful experiences as I did. I prioritize producing individualized and creative lesson plans to engage students and tie the knowledge into their interests.

Elyssa Davis

Academic Coaching Tutor • +23 Subjects

After completing an IB diploma in high school, I graduated from Kenyon College, where I studied Biology but spent equal time working as a theatre Stage Manager and Residential Advisor. From there, I moved into outdoor education along the Massachusetts coast, focused on youth programs in ecology, wildlife biology, and coastal environments. Inspired by the incredible experience I had connecting young people with the outdoors and mentoring youth volunteers, I completed a Masters of Environmental Studies with a concentration in Education at the University of Pennsylvania. I realized that strong connections in any discipline are built on a foundation of successful and engaging training and teaching, which has become my own method for connecting with the students I tutor.While my background is officially biology and environmental science, my liberal arts education and varied career experience in education, operations, and outreach have made me a strong writer, and I am passionate about strengthening written work. With a brain for details and clear, organized logic, I am excited to support and guide students towards success in each unique goal. For some, this may be mastery, while for others, a growth mindset and more positive perspective at the challenges ahead are just as important. The time I've spent working with Girl Scouts and youth programs has refined this into my dedication to build a positive learning experience, with clear goals for each session, so that we can tackle the challenges as a team, with the student leading the way.When not tutoring, I enjoy reading (I'm in a memoir phase currently), playing with my dog, Darwin, spending time with friends and family, and exploring D.C.
