...experience tutoring students in Biology, Chemistry and Math. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory science course at Cornell. In this position, I lectured weekly to a section of 15 undergraduate students and learned how to engage students in course material. In my free time, I enjoy cooking new recipes, competitive swimming,...

...on the PSAT. After experiencing such dramatic improvements firsthand, I'm proud to tutor in English, Reading, and Writing techniques at all age levels, and to apply those skills toward the ACT, SAT, and AP exams. In my opinion, positivity, creativity, and patience are crucial skills in effective education, and I strive to utilize them in all of my sessions. Additionally, I teach Arts courses at the Museum of the Moving Image, and have found that...

...find the best individually tailored approach for each student. My favorite subjects are English, Math, and, of course, Psychology. Two of my specialties are SAT/PSAT and AP Test preparation. I received a National Merit Scholarship for the PSAT, ranked above 97th percentile in each area of the SAT, and achieved National AP Scholar with Honors. In my free time I enjoy gaming with friends, playing percussion, and listening to a variety of music. I hope...

...a 2016 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where I majored in Economics and Music. Outside of work (where I am a management consultant), I play hockey and piano. Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This...

...the driest material interesting and personally relatable, and to talk out difficulties when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as...

...a classics major at Yale, I took upper-level, as well as graduate, courses in Latin and Greek. These included courses in Roman history, Latin literature, Latin and Greek composition, study of translation, and study of historical linguistics. I am deeply committed to teaching. During my undergraduate, I was heavily involved in mentoring younger students in my department. I taught a class on Greek literature in translation as a volunteer teacher through Splash at Yale. I...

...I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow. Furthermore, I believe positive reinforcement and encouragement are also invaluable tutoring tools. Inspiring confidence in students so that they don't become discouraged by difficulties they encounter keeps them...

...within the lesson. With the aid of speaking and listening, as well as reading and writing, the lesson can also stay on one subject and still move with the student's interests - talking about a student's hobby, while practicing a particular grammatical structure, for example, or making unusual and absurd sentences out of a vocabulary list. This mixing of regular life and the classical world indeed often tends towards the laughable. Instead of detracting from...

...to math and prep for the SAT and ACT. I have gone through the stress of having to take those standardized and subject tests and I learned a lot through those experiences. Trust me when I say that regardless of how daunting these tests seem as first, there is a way to make sense of it all! Whatever the subject is, I hope that I am able to use what I've learned to make your...

...is improvement, always, not perfection, to see mistakes as opportunities to learn. I'm an educator transitioning from higher ed to high school teaching. I earned my PhD in sociology at Columbia University, where I also worked as an instructor, at the School of International and Public Affairs. I taught sociology for several years, as a visiting and adjunct assistant professor, at the City University of New York. Now I'm pursuing alternate route certification to teach...

...Yale with a degree in American Studies, and took all sorts of fun and arguably bizarre classes from building medical devices for babies, to learning Zulu, and analyzing German fairytales. And believe me, oftentimes things just don't make sense to me. But I've found that having someone (i.e. a tutor) around can help with finding alternative ways of approaching a problem/reading a sentence. I currently write music for movies and TV shows, so if you've...

...graduated on the Dean's list with honors, and won the prestigious Quinten B. Hope award for excellence in French Language Studies. I studied one year at the University of Provence, in Aix-en-Provence, France. I am a fluent French speaker, interpreter, translator, and writer in French. I also have taught French and English in schools, camps, and tutoring sessions. I studied Rehabilitation Counseling at Hunter College in graduate school, and hope to continue my studies in...

...When I began teaching, this knowledge spiraled me into a state of profound reflection. For the first time, I took seriously all of the pressures on this position--out of school political fighting, in school political fighting, funding shortages, etc. It was not clear to me at the time, but teachers do one of the most difficult jobs and receive the least amount of respect for it--not to mention a salary that rarely reflects their efforts...

I'm an NYC-based writer and actress with a passion for English language and composition. I graduated with honors from NYU with a background in journalism, essay writing, and literature. My goal is to help you fall in love with language.

I am a recent graduate of Sarah Lawrence College with a love for learning and educating. I have experience working in an academic context with children from ages 5-20. I also have two years of experience working with students with learning disabilities and Autism.

...in various capacities. I've tutored a wide range of subjects including SAT and ACT test prep, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, American History, World History, Economics, U.S. Government, English Literature, Writing, and many areas of science. In my spare time, I love watching sports, movies and reading with my two dogs. While I primarily read nonfiction books, there is seldom a Harry Potter trivia question that I cannot answer. I love exercising and enjoying good food,...

...my students and I can have fun learning together. Students enjoy my fun and easy-going style even as I challenge them to solve problems through their own critical reasoning. Nothing gives me more satisfaction than when a student tells me "I'm really starting to enjoy learning about this," because in my experience, this is a preliminary step towards personal ownership of their academic pursuits. Guardians value my commitment to their student's education, my effectiveness in...
