I am a graduate of Hunter College where I received my Master's of Science in Education with a focus on adolescent education and Students with Disabilities. I have been teaching for over 6 years in Manhattan, NY. While I teach middle school math, I am certified and have also taught middle school science, English Language Arts, and Social Studies. I have tutored several of my former students in Algebra I, Living Environment, and Biology, each of which went on to pass their Regents exams. I have experience also working with younger students, as I have taught both 3rd and 1st grade classes. My goal is to help my students find the joy in learning as they discover their strengthsand develop the areas they struggle in. In my spare time I love running, working out, reading, watching sports (basketball & football), and cooking.

I am a highly motivated, PhD physics student with a very strong background in mathematics and physics. I have plenty of experience as a tutor, helping students at both the high school and university level.As a tutor, I try to not only instruct students how to do the problem that they are struggling with but to also make sure that they understand why such a procedure works. As a student, I did not always find new concepts easy to understand and I therefore empathise with struggling students, coaching them with a patient, probing approach until we are both satisfied that we have reached our goal.My mathematics and physics background has provided me plenty of experience with problem solving, so that I can often understand concepts from multiple viewpoints. By passing this knowledge on to any prospective tutees, they will most certainly sharpen their problem solving abilities while simultaneously obtain the tools necessary to improve their test scores.

Currently a sophomore (class of 2018) at Rice University in Houston, TX, I graduated from the Episcopal High School (Alexandria, VA) in 2014. At Rice, I am working towards a Policy Studies and Asian Studies double major, focusing in both "Law and Justice" and "Chinese Language and Culture". After graduation, I hope to either continue my education in Mandarin through a Masters program, attend Law School, or, ideally, both!During High School, I was a four-year boarding student, played football and lacrosse, and received academic recognition for my Chinese language skills and writing ability. During my fourth year I was designated a "Senior Peer Tutor", and worked three shifts a week tutoring underclassmen, mostly in math and science. As my career interests have changed, so have my tutoring interests. Now, because of my strong interests in Asian Studies and Policy Studies, I spend a great deal of time either reading and writing journals, essays, and research papers for assorted social sciences courses, or studying Mandarin in Chinese language and arts classes. My tutoring experience in high school, combined with my current course load, allow me to be an effective tutor of Mandarin and Writing Skills.My tutoring "philosophy" or "style" is very informal. From my experience with Mandarin, I have learned that hard work pays off, and experienced firsthand the spectacular feeling of success as a result of "sweat equity", but at the same time, I understand that "hard work" and "stress" don't have to be synonymous. Over the summer, I spent six weeks studying abroad at Nanjing University in Nanjing, China, and was assigned a grad student tutor. My relationship with my tutor, who I met with for five hours weekly, was a hybrid friendship/pedagogy that allowed for a stress-free, laid-back learning environment that was incredibly effective in terms of my Chinese progress. Often students turn to independent tutors because they feel confused, lost, or "in-over-their-head" with the information presented in class. As a tutor, my goal is not to add to that stress, but instead to relieve it by providing my students tools that will help them succeed and gain an advantage over their classmates.Outside of academia, I am an avid lacrosse player (and captain of the Rice Club Lacrosse Team), and football fan (Go Owls!). I also enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and reading.

I am a student at Lake Forest College pursuing my degree in Biology. This semester I am also attending the School of the Art Institute to complete my minor in Visual Arts. Having this diverse educational background, I am able to assist students in multiple subject areas. I have had experience tutoring elementary aged students especially in reading and mathematics. I have also helped both high school and middle school students with areas they struggle in. I love to assist and encourage students to comprehend subjects that they need extra help in.I am originally from Wisconsin; home of the Packers and Badgers. Photography, running, skiing, coffee, and seeking adventure are my passions.

My educational experience includes a Bachelor's in Chemistry from King's College, a Master's in Chemistry from the University of Pittsburgh, and a Master's in Instruction Technology from Bloomsburg University.I've been tutoring and teaching since 1988. I love to work with students in the areas of Physics, Chemistry, and Math.My goal is to help students gain the skills they need to succeed in their courses. Most importantly, I want them to understand the subject, not just to know tricks for a particular test.Outside of work, I enjoy drawing and painting.

I graduated from CUNY College of Staten Island with an Associate's in Applied Science Business and a Bachelor's in Finance. I am a fun, outgoing, and sociable guy. I definitely enjoy working with students. One of the main reasons I love tutoring is because I was a student myself in need of tutoring. My tutor made a change in my life for the better and that is something that I will always be grateful. I think that what makes me a great tutor is that I can sympathize with students. Also, I believe I have the ability to show students how to analyze, observe, interpret and process information with their own perspective.

Hello! I am a pre-dental student at Vanderbilt University majoring in Human Organizational Development with a concentration in Health and Human Services. I am well versed in many science subjects (Biology and Chemistry, etc.), math, and Spanish. I tutor all ages and will tailor my methods based on any type of need.

I've earned my M.Ed from The Ohio State University in English Education and earned a B.S. in journalism from Syracuse University. I've taught 7th and 8th grade English for the past two years at Noble Academy, a charter school in Columbus. All of my classes have demonstrated positive growth over the course of a year.I also run a college prep clinic for students from Somali backgrounds and have done so for the past four years.I started in education through Teach for America as a Spanish and remedial English teacher at a high school in Greenwood, MS. I tutor English, Writing, Math, Social Studies, and Spanish. I personally love to teach any writing component, because I enjoy the process of creating an essay which everyone can enjoy. I consider my tutoring style to mimic that of a coach; my goal is to push your student toward a higher end. I have an ability to build a quick rapport with students and have them understand the work necessary to succeed on their chosen path.In my spare time, I like to run, read, write, and watch sports.I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!

My job as an educator started well before I even left for college. I have worked in many aspects of education including outdoor education, nannying, the classroom, and as a museum educator. Having worked in a variety of places, I am able to help students with their studies using creative and fun methods. I love History and Literature, and I enjoy being able to help students learn the joy of reading. My favorite subject in elementary school was Math and I enjoy talking about fractions, the metric system, and the importance of knowing multiplication tables!I am a life long learner and love to spend time in museums, libraries, and traveling. My profile picture is from a recent trip to Iceland.

Hi! I'm Alina, your friendly neighborhood tutor from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I know school is hard, and I'm in school too. I attended undergrad majoring in Biology. I'm studying to become an optometrist (eye doctor)! I am flexible to answer biology, chemistry, physics, etc. questions. I was also in Honors Art in high school and in college. So, when I want to decompress from STEM subjects, I'll be drawing/painting. #STEMmajorsunite!
