I am currently doing cancer research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a student I was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude. Instead of boring memorization, I like to look for patterns and think of creative approaches to study subjects that can otherwise be very frustrating. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence and to think of creative approaches to subj...More

I am a graduate of Deep Springs College: an elite liberal arts program located in Eastern California. Unlike most schools, the admission process to Deep Springs involves writing - and later defending before a panel of staff, faculty and students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write s...More

As an undergraduate and graduate student I have worked as a Teaching Assistant and Lab Instructor for various physics/engineering courses. I have extensive programming knowledge in Python and C/C++ as well as the software Matl...More

Through my education, I have amassed an understanding of mathematics from mu...More

I am from Buffalo NY. I have an associates degree and I am currently working on my bachelors degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. My goal is to make students successful in school, while making a tutoring session enjoyable and not stressful. I hope I can help make an impact and help you improve in a strategy.

I'm big on pictures and diagrams as educational tools. If you can draw a picture to describe a cellular or bodily process, you will be likely to be able to answer a written question about it.

I am looking forward to working with students again! I was a teacher/tutor for several years before beginning my family 2 years ago. My husband and I recently had twin girls and then a little boy so I have taken a break from the 9-5 scene for a bit. I miss teaching and working with students and I am excited to get back into the world of education. Helping students understand different topics in math (specifically) is my passion and I look forward to working with new students to help them gain co...More

I am a current Dietetics student, Dietitian Education Program intern, and 4+1 student pursuing a Master's of Adult Education. So far at Buffalo state, I have become the treasurer of both the Nutrition Club and the Rotaract Club. I also earned an award this Spring for my 300 community service hours. In my early twenties, I started a business painting cars out of the back of my SUV. I feel it is a great outlet to be creative and work independently but I crave the mental stimulation of academia and...More

I am from Long Island, NY and currently live in Buffalo, NY. I am a graduate of SUNY Fredonia, where I majored in Adolescent Social Studies Education, as well as Canisius College where I majored in Special Education, grades 7-12. Since graduating I have worked in various school settings mostly working as either a general education social studies teacher or a special education co-teacher/consultant teacher. These positions have all been within the middle school setting (grades 6-8).

I am determined to ensure my students are confident with the information they are learning, feel comfortable in their learning environments and never feel embarrassed for asking questions.
