Hi! I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University pursuing a Chemical Engineering Major. Aside from school, I am involved with the Ultimate Frisbee team here.

...solving, developing strong inquiry skills, the ability to prove, discuss, or disprove a hypothesis, and adding continually increasing building blocks to their knowledge base. I wish to encourage mastery, competency, transformational learning, lifelong learning, general transference of skills, and critical thinking. A perfect teaching situation is where the students feel comfortable, confident, and smart, They believe in their ability to succeed and understand that greatness is expected of them because they are more than capable...

...fluidly, but also to help others do the same while still respecting their individual voices. I love to work with students on college essays, other applications, and general writing skills - this past year, one of my students with whom I worked on a college essay was accepted to every school to which he applied, and I work to achieve that goal with all of my students! I'm also experienced in Verbal and Writing test...

...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 resources to break down even complicated concepts. I view my job as an English teacher and writing instructor as facilitator of...

...and the desire to see students directly benefit from true comprehension and understanding. To me, history and social studies are important only in the context of what they teach us about how events and culture shape the world in which we currently live. A history class cannot be taught in isolation - it must be made relevant to our experiences today. I can certainly help struggling students to memorize names and dates for an exam,...

...an empathetic, patient, results-oriented tutor with 10 years of experience working with all age groups. As a UC Berkeley grad, I have taught in NYC public schools, and have led private tutoring sessions in various subjects. I am always available to answer any questions the student may have post-sessions. I come from a long line of educators (two grandparents and both my parents!). From them I have learned the importance of building the student up,...

...First I have them take diagnostic tests to demonstrate their relative skill, and through a bit of trial and error I can understand which learning styles they are most comfortable with. Additionally, my teaching will almost involve some combination of the Socratic questioning method and rubber duck explaining; I ask them questions so they can better understand their assumptions for solving problems, and they explain what they know and don't know in order to pinpoint...

...is helpful for students to work with someone relatively close to their own age. As someone who enjoys problem-solving for its own sake, I often find myself in the position of explaining difficult concepts and abstract ideas to people with very different backgrounds and personalities than my own. Generally, people learn best from examples they find relevant, interesting, and concrete. My main hobby outside of class is music. I play viola in both the Harvard-Radcliffe...

...not just to pass a test but to really explain the concepts so that YOU understand it properly. And perhaps I can convince you that the subject matter is something you like! It was a pleasure when my previous students acknowledged my influence in their honors theses or doctoral dissertations, and I hope that I can similarly help you in your learning process at whatever schooling level you are at. Please contact me to schedule...

...success. Piling too much pressure onto students only creates stress and self-doubt so I like to keep things light. I like to make lots of comparisons to current events that are relevant to the subject matter at hand to make things less intimidating and foreign. When I am not working I like playing and recording original music, cooking (often French dishes, not surprisingly), and watching sports. I am a huge fan of Liverpool and all...

I have been an English teacher for the past 6 years. I have my Masters degree in Education. I absolutely love to read and write; my favorite author is Shakespeare. I love to teach and help students! I take my passion for English and teaching and transform my student's live in whichever way I can.

As a psychology major, I focus on the development of the mind and its connection to the emotions that we use to learn. Understanding the process of learning from a psychological perspective gives me an advantage in my ablility to tutor. I am able to identify where each student meets their challenges, to then apply the best accurate teaching techniques to help them achieve their highest potential academic goal.

...I have a broad range of specialties, from physics, to programming in Java and C, to German, to test prep and college applications help. I also love workshopping all kinds of writing, whether personal or academic. Some of my qualifications include physics research at a Max Planck Institute and acceptances to Harvard and UC Berkeley. I have experience teaching environmental science to children at a botanical garden and volunteering as a reading tutor for elementary...

...Biology, Chemistry, and Physics as it pertains to premedical and science degrees. I also am well versed in Mathematics at the High School and College level. I try to teach my students not only how to solve problems in a systematic fashion, but also how to use logic and deduction to solve difficult questions which they have not previously seen. I believe that these skills are critical for future scientists and physicians. In my spare...

...History and Italian at the University level. I've worked with a range of students from high-achieving undergraduates to students at pressure-cooker college preparatory schools to children with high-functioning Autism. My specialty subjects are History, English, Latin, essay-writing, exam preparation, and I have extensive experience preparing students for exam prep (PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE to name a few) and university applications in the USA and the UK. I chose to go to graduate school and continue...

...on college and graduate school essay writing. I take a very hands on approach to tutoring and will work with you to craft a tailored plan and get you on the path to achieving your goals. I'm great at breaking down complex ideas into simple concepts that will help you better recall and learn the material. Outside of tutoring, I love to cook. What started off as a New Years resolution has quickly become an...

I am a special education teacher who has been teaching for over 30 years. I currently teach in a high school. I am highly qualified in both Math and English, as well as all elementary subjects. I enjoy working one on one with students and getting to know them on a personal level.

...spent the past four years after graduating from University of Virginia (with a BA in Psychology) devoting my time to students. I have a Masters of Education in English and during the year I teach 9th graders reading and writing skills. On the weekends I have served as a writing specialist for seniors applying to college and during the summers I have worked as a writing and grammar instructor for 11th graders preparing to take...

...or anxiety. I find it most important to instill confidence in the student through methodical study of the subject matter and verbal encouragement. A lack of confidence at test time can be devastating. I watch a student solve problems and take note of how they deal with being stuck. This is crucial in physics and math because at some point everyone "hits a wall" so to speak. I find the solution to this is having...

...preparation. As a requirement of my fellowship, I also attended regular lectures and workshops in pedagogical training, sensitivity to learning disabilities, cross-cultural communication, and regional history. Additionally, I learned Hebrew, and worked on a variety of other projects related to community development, urban renewal, cultural appreciation, teaching to different age groups, and the arts. Prior to this fellowship, I have worked as a private tutor, interned in the public education department of a major state...
