I have taken the SAT, ACT, and several AP exams, and I am a recipient of an award from the French Department at NYU. I first became passionate about tutoring in high school, when I would assist other students in mathematics. I also have experience working with elementary school students in a bilingual New York City public school. One...

...angles. My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go hiking, and I bike...

...each of our tutoring sessions if you'd like. We are a team! That means I will maintain contact with your school teachers and keep parents in the loop to make sure we have covered all that's needed to make my students a success! I have spent years working with national organizations for gifted students and also with students with learning disabilities.

...and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about certain problems which may give them a better understanding of the material. I don't feel like it has been a productive session unless I come away having learned something as well. In my spare time, I am an avid sports fan and a seasoned fantasy sports player. I also enjoy reading and spending time at the beach in the summer.

I watch TED talks, write computer programs, listen to music and read. I also love roller-skating and ice-skating. I am also passionate about community service and I receive a scholarship from my college for my community...

...1 year (Indonesia, Thailand, China, HK and Singapore). I tell you this because it has enriched my life in so many ways, including how I approach teaching both the non-native English speaker who wants and needs to learn better English; the native English speaker who may struggle with grammar and professional, business or formal writing (college students, new graduates, etc.); and the English speaker who simply wants to learn and/or improve his/her Spanish language for...

...is getting invested in the students I work with - I want them to excel and I am committed to helping them reach their goals. I am excited to meet you and work with your student. A little bit about me: - I was raised in Paradise Valley, Arizona with my two brothers (one older, one younger) - I graduated from Princeton University in 2014 with a degree in History of Science and Global Health...

...is in the area of mathematics education. I am always thinking of new ways to teach difficult material, and I have an intense knowledge of common core subjects, methods, and procedures. I care mostly about both how and why you do something in mathematics, not just how to do it. I love to be challenged with hard questions, and even if I don't have an answer ready, I will undoubtedly research, and I will have...

...travelled extensively to see the country and world that I would one day be teaching about. After teaching English as a foreign language in the Republic of Georgia for a year, I returned home to my native New Jersey to enter the next phase of my life and career. I currently teach history and social studies at the high school level. I have always loved to teach and to discuss new topics with students.

...- much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them. Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change...
