...love of knowledge in children. I have been teaching over seven years high school and middle school students and always encourage my students to take an active role in their learning. I enjoy reading, sports, and spending time with my family. I am very active in school as a Class Advisor, National Honor Society Advisor, and Community Service Coordinator. I am also an active member of my Sorority (Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc.) as well...

...time, I enjoy going on long runs, reading Russian novels, and attending Broadway shows. Through my five previous years of tutoring middle school, high school, and college students, I saw firsthand how diverse student learning styles can be. For example, one explanation of the concept of absolute value may be helpful to one student, but utterly confusing to another. I am a great tutor because I make it a priority to discover each individual student's...

I am a motivated and dedicated student who is looking to help similar-minded students achieve their academic goals.... I believe that patience and understanding is the key to teaching students. One can never rush learning, as students need to have a solid foundation before learning new concepts.... I would figure out what kind of learner they are and how best to help them achieve their goals, in addition to finding out how much they already know.

...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 Policy - I tutored throughout high school and college, working with students elementary - high school on general homework help and exam prep....

I am an honors graduate of CUNY Queens College, and have been successfully tutoring for about three years; primarily high school math. My style is very focused on getting to know an individual student and the way they learn, and figuring out exactly why they are struggling.

...the Journal of International Human Rights. Prior to law school, I taught courses and provided one-on-one tutoring on the SAT, ACT and GRE. More recently, I have focused on helping students master the LSAT. I particularly enjoy providing individualized instruction. We each have strengths and weaknesses when it comes to learning and test-taking, and I've found that remarkable advancements happen when an approach is tailored to the student's unique attributes. I recently moved to the...

...tutoring young elementary school kids from ages 5-13 with all general school work and have also had my own SAT tutoring business preparing high school students for the college entrance exam. I scored in the 98th percentile on the SAT myself and have scored perfectly on the SAT Mathematics level II subject test. I have helped students with both outstanding academic records and those who are seriously struggling. I love to see students achieve goals...

...students in my own time. As such, I have worked as a tutor in both private and group settings for students from all walks of life, whether it be editing college essays or navigating common core math with third-grade students. However, I do have a preference for teaching students privately, as I believe everyone learns in a different manner and different pace. As a result, I am always adapting the way I explain concepts to...

I am looking to get some more experience tutoring and teaching with the idea of pursuing further academic work in the future.... It changes based on the student. Not all students work well with a particular philosophy, nor should such a philosophy be set in stone.... I would look to understand the student's class, goals, and strengths/weaknesses. Then I might have them work on their normal homework with me making suggestions to get an idea of...

My teaching philosophy is contained in a single sentence: "A teacher affects eternity -- he or she can never tell where his or her influence stops." Henry Adams

...in Statistics and minored in Economics. I have been tutoring ever since I was in high school and love helping students master the material they need to learn for their classes and standardized tests. While I was at Harvard, I also ran a tutoring business called HSA Tutoring. There, I helped hundreds of students prepare for their standardized tests, and I ran several summer programs teaching high school students about business and entrepreneurship.

I've been a writer and editor for just about all of my 55 years, and I love nothing more than helping students improve their ability to put thoughts into words. I've worked with dozens of students to prepare them for the SAT essay and to help with other school assignments as well as creative writing. I'd welcome the chance to work with you or your child. It's what I love to do. ... Evaluate the student's...

...I consider myself a wiz at Excel and am happy to teach anyone willing to learn! I want all my interactions to be fun and light-hearted to help my tutees undergo personal growth. My belief when tutoring students is to help them not only pass their classes but truly understand the material. Once you can explain it back to me we're in business ;) Fun Fact: I love playing games, so I will leave one...

...New Haven, Bridgeport, and Waterbury. My spare time is spent playing golf, skiing and hiking, and teaching archery to kids in after school programs. As your tutor, my job is to provide you with simple approaches that lead to dependable results. In essence, to "teach you how to fish". Your job is to learn "how to fish". If you're looking for someone to feed you, with no effort on your part, I'm not the tutor...

...academic papers, I also write comedy sketches and spend most of my free time improvising and creating webseries with friends. Performing as a comedian may not seem connected to my educational philosophy, but I think many of the skills you learn as an improviser translate well to test taking. Staying calm under pressure and adjusting your strategy to meet new challenges are important whether you're onstage or in SAT prep mode!

...and discovering are forces that both fascinate and drive the direction of my life. As a researcher for documentary film, I have made learning about new things the center of my professional life. I am attracted to tutoring for many of the same reasons; I love witnessing the magic of the "click" of understanding that washes over a student who had previously struggled with a difficult concept and find it deeply fulfilling.... I see myself as...

...later. I approach the study of language with intention yet flexibility. It loses its beauty and particularity the second discouragement spreads, the instant anxiety kicks in. I believe a good tutor must do more than teach content. She offers positive reinforcement and guidance, discerning aid every step of the way. Outside of academia, I act and sing in musicals and choirs, do improv comedy, visit art museums, and run around the city in pursuit of...

...Egypt, someday). During the last two summers, I have taught seminars at a 10-day conference hosted by a Harvard student organization in China. The students were all high school students in China, and I absolutely loved the discussions and the chance to teach subjects I am passionate about to my students. I tend to approach problems from several angles and enjoy hearing new perspectives. In my free time, I play violin in an orchestra and...

...partly a result of taking control over my own destiny when it came to the SAT, GRE, and most recently LSAT tests, on all of which I significantly improved on my own performance by following a disciplined regimen. I try to build a relationship with students that motivates them to succeed by learning more about their other interests and goals and encouraging the student to think about how our work together fits into that. Outside...

...doesn't stop me from working with elementary scholars on counting and multiplication tables! My general tutoring style is relaxed yet focused. When I'm working with a student, I'll ask more questions at the beginning of the session to get a good idea of where the student stands and where there are some gaps. One of the biggest things I've noticed (especially in math!) is that if there isn't a good foundation, you won't be able...
