...right solution rather than a solution manual to consult or a teacher to recapitulate a lecture. Of course, if what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide that, but I find it is best covered within the context of particular problems: we learn best by doing, and solving homework problems is no exception. Within math, I tutor nearly every subject. Particular areas of expertise include algebra,...

...tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to certify that I had the appropriate background to provide professional feedback to fellow students on their literary works and projects. After graduation, I worked for a full-service learning center where I created and implemented high school lesson plans for home-schooled students, provided academic support for students ranging in ages from 8 to 20 years old, and taught group and individual...

...assistant and after school tutor at a private college preparatory school. While I tutor in many different areas, I would say that my passion lies in helping students learn how to read, as well as creative and persuasive writing. It is in these areas that I have had the most success--as well as the most fun-- teaching both academic students as well as those preparing for entrance exams such as the ACT and SAT. I...

...September on a Fulbright grant to be an English Teaching Assistant at the high school level! My approach to tutoring has always been about understanding each student's individual style as a learner to create lessons best-tailored to his or her specific needs. I try to foster an environment where open communication is emphasized and the student feels comfortable and motivated. Outside of the classroom—even though I was born and raised in Manhattan—I love spending time...

...they begin to master the information and use it to approach new material with greater preparedness. I always want the learner's outcome to be a compoundable skill. For students learning to read and write better, I believe it's all about structure. There are simple constructs of idea, speaker, and audience that must be conveyed in an essay. An author utilizes these same focal points to craft a powerful written work. When an assignment comes along,...

...University of Miami with a degree in Philosophy. I have recent experience tutoring students in all parts of the SAT as well as younger students studying for the ISEE exam. My greatest assets as a tutor are my flexibility and approachable nature. It is important to be able to approach a problem from multiple angles until the student has found an approach that is best for him or her. This requires a flexible tutor to...

...with learners anywhere from K-undergraduate levels. I really love teaching and helping students focus on the ways they learn best. For me, I've found that a holistic approach to subjectscritical thinking, essay structure, test-taking skillsis the best way to ensure success. My favorite subjects to teach are in Liberal Arts and test prep, but I like challenging myself as well. In addition to teaching, I really love traveling, riding my bike, sweaters, rain, flowers, and...

...student at Columbia, and I just moved to New York City this fall! I love tutoring and teaching students, and I have worked with a number of educational programs, from boarding schools to Americorps. I specialize in languages (English, French, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek) and test prep. I seek to help my students make connections between new material and things that are familiar to them, breaking down higher concepts with accessible examples that can...

...academic achievement and standardized test prep, no two winning strategies are ever exactly alike. Because every student learns in their own unique way, my teaching style is designed to pinpoint each student's individual strengths and weaknesses to develop a customized tutoring experience. My 3+ years of experience as a science teacher in Morningside Heights and beyond have made me appreciate the power of one-on-one instruction and the great advantages that exceptional grades and test scores...

I have been a tutor for six years, and have tutored all ages. I specialize in the college admission process, and especially like working with students on admissions essays and test prep. I graduated from the University of Notre Dame two years ago with a degree in television and anthropology. I work at MTV during the weekday, but am free weekends and weeknights after 7:00 pm.... I think a good tutor allows the student to learn...

...Arts in Teaching. Since 2009, I have taught 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th grades. I have also taught three different courses as an adjunct instructor. My educational philosophy is based on considering the whole student: what he or she likes, his or her strengths and weaknesses, his or her temperament. By considering all of those things I connect with the student and this helps them to do their best work for me.... As a passionate educator,...

...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 of these skills, and assured them that the ability to read, write, speak, and listen proficiently would provide them access to opportunities and expand their conception of the world. My teaching reflects my belief that other writers can develop a strong sense of self-efficacy given encouragement and the...

I am a current junior double majoring in Human and Organizational Development and American Studies at Vanderbilt University. I love working with kids of all ages, and hope I can help your child succeed!

I look forward to helping students improve their test scores! I graduated from UC Berkeley and Columbia Law. I self-taught to achieve a perfect verbal SAT score and an LSAT score in the 99th percentile. Test taking is a skill and, like any skill, you can improve significantly through practice and learned techniques.

...teaching and research responsibilities. I was teaching all levels of mathematics, including single- and multi-variable calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, advanced undergraduate analysis as well as graduate courses. While I love math and teaching, I found that working working full-time at a university is not for me. The heavy teaching loads and constant pressure to publish research results left me run down and exhausted, and that's not how I want to live and work. I...

...helping students to brainstorm, draft, research, revise, and edit their writing; as well as to be better readers and analysers of literature (non-fiction and all creative writing). In addition, I am a published short-story writer whose work has appeared in national journals (Lunchticket.org, 2015; Folio, Spring 2014; PIF, 2011); and I have strong ties to writing communities in NJ and NY. Writing requires patience, practice, and perseverance. I can greatly help you in this process.

I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

...preparation for all three sections of the SAT; study skills and organization; public speaking; and, of course, Religious Studies (my college major). I have a particular passion for helping middle school and high school students improve their writing and reading comprehension skills; opening students' eyes to the power and importance of the written word, I believe, is a pursuit with a lifetime of rewards. In my spare time, I enjoy reading fiction and discussing current...

...in high school, when my best friend's father needed help with his English to pass a test to become a ship captain. After he passed, I knew teaching was something I cared deeply about. I tutored my way through college at Wesleyan University, where I graduated with Honors. Now with five years of experience, I am prepared to teach on a wide range of subjects in a variety of styles. When not tutoring, I am...
