At Brooklyn Technical High School, I was on the Math Team and actively participated in many competitions, such as the AMC and the Moody's Mega Math Challenge.

...if you don't have the confidence to apply it. I build up my student's confidence, not with platitudes or empty praise, but by having them practice and learn to believe in themselves. Too often, people are derailed by factors that have nothing to do with their intelligence or their ability. I am well aware of that, and as a tutor, I consider it my job to give my students the confidence to apply the knowledge...

...English. I believe that the English language is the most creative creole to ever be created. Through the inspiration of languages before it, English offers us an advanced understanding of our history, and propels us toward our future. In my approach to tutoring, I enjoy learning about the individual; not only the student. In order to understand the educational needs of each student, I must first understand each person. I enjoy using culturally relevant pedagogy...

Outside of teaching, my interests include playing basketball, exploring on my...

I've been tutoring for 5 years now and it's one of the most rewarding things I've ever been given the opportunity to do! I believe that tutoring is a back and forth system. 50% me, 50% you. And with a little touch of fun, that's how we'll get the 100%. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy traveling and photography. In addition to that, I am a psychology and marketing major in college.

...subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a library, I'm walking my Australian shepherd dog around Fort Tryon Park or...

...to do it. Since I graduated from Princeton University in 2011 I've also taught standardized test prep around the New York City area in prestigious schools such as Ivy Prep and E-Math, as well as for the Department of Education through 1 on 1 Academic Tutors.

My name is Nicole and I am a native New Yorker! I was fortunate enough to attend Duke University where I received a BA in Music and minor in Education. I have tutored in many subjects, especially NY State Regents throughout all of high school and college.

...Economics and minors in Psychology and Spanish. I work in Manhattan as a consultant, but also want to continue my passion for tutoring that I developed since early high school.

I have tutored students (from elementary school all the way to senior year of college) for a copious amount of years. My goal is for the students to grasp a good understanding of the subjects that they seek help for, and to be successful with their future endeavors. Besides from...

...me, this is the basis of how all human behavior is developed. The next two theories are two of my favorite that I've learned in all of my studies of education pedagogy because I see them played out virtually every day in the school-based setting. The first theory is multiple intelligence by Howard Gardner. The theory states that intelligence differentiates it into specific "modalities", rather than seeing intelligence as dominated by a single general ability....

...each session, I encourage open communication about any difficulties my students have with the day's material. Students must feel comfortable enough to express when they don't understand a concept - no matter how seemingly insignificant. With the information my students relay, I can tailor each session appropriately. Ultimately, I want to give my students tools that will help them succeed in their academic careers. Oftentimes, half of the battle with learning anything new is overcoming...

...he/she wants to and the tutor finds out how best to incorporate information into the tutoring sessions. As a tutor I try to be aware, first and foremost, that different students have different learning styles and needs. What is more important is to try to make tutoring sessions as lively as possible in order to keep the student interested in the subject matter. I do not just treat tutoring as a form of employment, but...

Similarly, I take great joy in walking students through the mental process of clarifying their ideas and assumptions that is necessary for the development of effective persuasive writing. I am open-minded and eager for adventure. I've spent 3 of the past 4 years living in the Middle East between Syria and Egypt. And I've recently...

...Standardized Test Prep in both the Critical Reading and Mathematics Sections of the SAT. I try to impart study habits to my students that are not only useful but I feel absolutely necessary for success. I feel that my strength lies in predicting student mistakes and preparing for them in advance, as well as teaching students to look at problems in the simplest way necessary to learn and make advances. In my free time I...

...with a tutoring institution since the beginning of 2016, and that is where I learned of my passion for tutoring. Anybody can be good at school. Everyone learns the same material, but in different ways, affecting how much one is able to retain what they have learned. The difference in how information is conveyed to students, is the sole reason for why certain kids perform better than others. Every student has a different way in...

Hi, I'm Sammi! I am an undergraduate college student majoring in chemistry and minoring in finance at Boston College. I have worked with many students from grades K-12 as a tutor and teacher's assistant. I have the most experience teaching math, ranging from algebra to SAT math.

I began tutoring six years ago, and have been working with a variety of age groups and subjects ever since. I have tutored in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Physics and English. I'm excited to work with students and help them learn in their own individual ways!
