...majoring in Real Estate. I graduated from a boarding school in Massachusetts two years ago with distinction in Math, Spanish and the Arts. I choose to tutor because I enjoy helping people understand that a lot of confusion in school stems from teaching methods, not from the students themselves. Even if there's something both of us don't entirely understand, I specialize in figuring things out and look forward to us doing it together.

...and college students. As an instructor of Freshman composition at Baruch College and Brooklyn College, I taught essay writing to students who were in an in-between state: not quite full-fledged college students, but eagerly ready to leave high school and its rote ways of thinking behind. In the first weeks at Baruch, I realized something very important: we are always a little in-between places, and we do not altogether leave the "old" house when we...

I'm a graduate of New York University with a degree in Physics and I'm currently pursuing another Bachelor's degree in Mathematics from City College of New York.

This year I assisted in preparing my students for the new SAT. As a result, the students at the school where I work achieved the highest scores on the SAT in 5 years. This is my first year at this school. Currently I am...

My passions include understanding...

...long as I can remember. I began tutoring informally while I was still in high school, helping friends get ready for their SATs, helping them with assignments. I realized quickly that I was suddenly helping half of my school so I decided to make some fliers, and some money, and offer my tutoring to anyone and everyone in my hometown. Suffice to say, some odd years have gone by since then and now, even as...

I enjoy helping people reach their potential. If you're struggling in a class, there's probably a good reason. It may take some work, but I'm confident that I can help you succeed.

...live in Brooklyn and I'm originally from Jacksonville, Florida. I've lived all over the country in Los Angeles, Chicago, Florida, and NYC. Formerly I 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...

...with what I see when my eyes land on an incredible story or find a prompt to write about. I want my students to feel the same way when they have a persuasive essay or are called out to read in class but are afraid because they don't know how, or hate reading and writing. I want to make the stigma that reading and writing is boring, and bring in a whole new light in...

...I have taught students in Spanish, French, and English as a Second-Language, using highly visual and interactive techniques to engage students in the fun and challenge of learning a language. I have lived in Spain, France, and Chile, as well as various parts of the United States, so I bring cultural insight into each lesson. My additional teaching areas of expertise include test prep, reading comprehension and essay writing, and government. My teaching philosophy is...

...Since then, I became a Computer Science instructor at the same organization, taught at Code Ninjas, and worked as a private tutor in Math, English, and preperations for high school entrance exams. I primarily taught Pre-K, Elementary, and Middle School students, but I enjoy teaching students of all ages. While I tutor and adore a broad range of subjects, I am above all passionate about Computer Science, Mathematics, English, and the Arts. As for my...

...MS in Urban Education with a concentration in special education. As for my undergraduate studies, I received a BA in Political Science and Spanish Studies with a minor in Latin American Studies. My work experience includes over three years of teaching experience. During that time, I created lesson plans, assessed data, and planned out goals for my students.

I believe in an individual's creativity and I create individualized and personal lessons based...

I am an elementary school teacher during the day and a student too- learning really is life long. My favorite hobbies are mostly outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. I love traveling in the USA and to Europe, which is where I'm from. I love art in all its form, visual and performing arts. My favorite subjects are Math and Science. Reading always calms and there's nothing I love more than a good book.

I studied "Policy Analysis and Management" at Cornell University (economics, econometrics, and public policy), and I'm looking forward to pursuing graduate studies in the fall for Environmental Management. During the past 3 years, I've been fortunate to travel and work on different organic farms and sustainable land stewardship projects; I'm hoping that my graduate studies will offer an opportunity to merge my formal academic training with my recent experiences working with the land. Can't wait...

...as both a student and teacher. I have worked with several students over many K-12 subjects and standardized exams (PSAT, SAT, ACT). My approach is useful for the student for whom shortcuts are just not cutting it they want to actually understand the material. Of course sometimes shortcuts are useful but they are not useful beyond a certain point. You are paying for an exclusive service, so I want to make sure there is enough...

...teach a lot about women's studies, cultural history, and transnational studies with a particular emphasis on the Modern Middle East and US-Turk relations. As for teaching and outreach: Ive found that making the material pertinent and connecting it to who you are and where you want to be will make it come alive. Hence, in tutoring and teaching I enjoy teasing out the material into a story. That way we have something to entertain us...

...tutoring when I close the door to the study room, sit down with one of my students, and ask her or him, "So, what do you need help with?" I am in my element. I enjoy it because I had such a great experience with my teachers and professors in high school and college. They were positive role models for me, and they got me interested in their subjects. This is what I want to...

...was leaving my job for maternity leave. I decided to take the following year off to be home with my daughter. I am so grateful to Varsity Tutors for allowing me to continue to stay home with her but also work and continue teaching. I've certainly missed it! In my time as a teacher I have taught many grades! Kindergarten, 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, 8th, 10th, and 11th; several of them at the same time....
