...rising junior at the University of St Andrews. I am working towards a Bachelor of Arts in English and International Relations.

...tutor for SHSAT, SAT (Math and Verbal), K-12 Math and other individual subjects. I have been an independent tutor for 8+ years and have worked with multiple students over the years. My students have ranged from age 4-22 for the most part, plus older students as well. I have experience with students with EF issues and ADHD/ADD as well, and I know how to help them be more organized and engaged, and reach their full...

...I think the best way to learn is to be open minded and willing to learn. My previous tutoring experience includes working with students from China who were taking the TOEFL exam. I like to teach by first letting the student try the problem on their own. Then, I like to go through each step of the problem with the student until they understand. Finally, I let the student try a similar problem on their...

Hi my name is Sree and I'm currently studying Biology at Stony Brook! I'm excited to help with whatever you're having trouble with and hopefully we will power through together. If you have any questions feel free to ask any time!

...as well. My favorite subject to tutor is math and biology, but I am able to tutor other subject areas like reading, writing, chemistry, and physics. My tutoring style is very student oriented with some lecturing. I make sure that most of the time I am asking questions, even if it is basic, just to get the student to always be on his/her feet. I also make sure to use a lot of diagrams and...

...high school curricula in English and writing. Over the last two years, Ive extended to exam prep for the SAT and ACT, which has seen success among students who came in with doubts and anxieties and left with widened horizons and earned confidence. My specialty and passion has remained with writing. Writing carries an important weight in our lives, whether in an essay for AP English, a lab report for biology, a personal statement for...

...and their teachers. As a tutor, I aim to rectify that problem with one-on-one sessions designed to tackle concepts from a different angle, that perhaps the teacher had overlooked. There is no better feeling to me than that moment of clarity when a student finally understands something they had been previously struggling with. Aside from math and studying, I also play guitar and write music in my spare time. Although many people probably would never...

...for the last 4 years and have watched and learned how the standardized tests have changed. I'm extremely passionate about learning to work the convoluted system that makes up college applications and teaching others what I've learned. I love learning and school and I hope I can help you feel the same way. I will motivate you to push yourself to reach your goals and be there to encourage you in all areas. I'm open...

...I can share with my students. I do not hesitate to share with them pictures and stories of the places I have visited which connect to literature because they can see that I am not only knowledgeable about the printed word, but that I have experienced some of what we are reading. I enjoy tutoring one on one because of the bonds I establish with my students. My goal is to have my students enjoy...

I tutor almost all subjects from maths, English, science, and history in grades K-11. I love to tutor because it gives me the experience I need to be a teacher and for every student, I want them to excel and understand what they struggle in and come out on top!

...I graduated from Middlebury College (where I majored in English, with a minor in Spanish) and prior to that, Stuyvesant High School in New York City. Upon graduating, I worked for Middlebury College followed by a decade-long stint in the tech industry here in New York. My interests include film, photography, travel and baseball. I've traveled extensively and owe my Spanish skills primarily to significant time spent in Spain and all over Latin America.

...solid improvements in scores. I believe this experience with a diverse mix of students has sharpened my skills as a tutor, particularly in the arena of creating interesting and clear examples through which different students can understand complex material. Although I tutor a wide variety of subjects, I most enjoy tutoring elementary and high school level math because I can be creative in designing examples. I truly enjoy teaching; there is a great satisfaction in...

...my opinion - is one that develops a sensitivity to the joy that comes with learning. That joy - much the same in the processes that bring joy of games - is to be found everywhere in the nature of the human brain; a living computer; a vast of potential of weighted logic gates which give rise to the substance of what we call learning when we - by our activities - so organize them....

...are English and Standardized Test Prep, although I am qualified to teach an array of topics. I try to tailor my lesson plans to my students and to incorporate their interests whenever possible. I have a passion for knowledge, color coding, and museums. Outside of academia, my interests include traveling, cooking/baking, poetry of all sorts, and photography. I hope to visit all Seven Wonder of the World someday and look forward to meeting you.

...degree in Education and a Master's in Science, with majors in Biology and Chemistry. I've worked extensively with children in Middle School and High School.

In addition to Science, I can help with several other subjects including Math and English. I am a firm believer that each student is a unique individual. I...

...freshman into my school, I knew I wanted to continue working with students in whatever way I could moving forward. In college, I enrolled in a writing-tutoring program that landed me two jobs on my campus's writing center. As a writing fellow, each semester I worked closely with students in a freshman writing-intensive English class aimed to bring everyone up to the same collegiate writing level. As a writing tutor, I held general weekly office...

...disabilities. Some of the kids I've worked with are non-verbal and non-mobile, others simply require a detailed schedule to keep them focused. Regardless of what the kid needs, I'm prepared to work with the family to make sure they achieve their goals. Finally, I attended a Jewish day school for most of my life, where in addition to regular courses, I studied Hebrew and Judaic studies. I can also speak Spanish and some Turkish and...

...about tutoring Mandarin Chinese, history, anthropology, writing, etc., because my educational and cultural experience in the U.S. as a Chinese national has cultivated my enthusiasm with cross-cultural studies, especially in an educational context. My senior thesis in college explored the postwar history of Chinese students in the U.S. and their transnational subjectivity -- namely, how they navigated their socio-cultural and political identities in a transnational context! I am excited to work with you!

...in classrooms across the country, anxious to take AP exams which would earn them college credit. Eager to break the seal on those test booklets, my peers and I cracked open our exam packet, read the instructions, then let out a hearty laugh. Nothing was funny, though; laughter was our way of coping with a reality we weren't ready to face nor knew was coming. We were close to graduating, had poured everything into our...
