I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. While teaching is my second career, it was always what I wanted to do. When I graduated from college, I was offered a position with my college's admissions and marketing office, where I had been working to put myself through school. It was a tremendous opportunity, and launched an eighteen-year career helping high school students make important decisions about their futures, and navigate an often complex admissions and financial aid system. I loved working with students, being around bright, engaging people, and doing work that made a difference. But each time I walked through a high school to present a workshop on writing college essays or preparing for college interviews, I was reminded of how deeply I still wanted to be in a classroom. So I took the plunge, and now spend my days teaching social studies to great students at a great school. I have taught world history, American history, sociology, psychology, economics, and even developed a high school course in teaching for students seeking a career in education. I am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy. In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, and college essays, because all of these skills will help them reach their academic goals. As a teacher, I believe that it is critical to help students develop the ability to regulate their own learning, and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond. When I'm not teaching, I am a mom to a high school sophomore, a long-distance mom to two college students, a gardener who grows lots of organic vegetables, and an avid reader of anything historical. If I can help you in a specific subject area, or with essays, test preparation, or homework support, either face-to-face or on-line, let me know!

I appreciate the opportunity to share what I've learned with others, to help them succeed. I am a retired civil service employee with extensive experience in defense planning and budget. My interests and hobbies include investments, and strategy games.

As a dedicated tutor and educator with over 2 years of experience, I am currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill with a minor in Education. I specialize in ACT, SAT, sciences, et franais ducation aussi! My teaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable to ask questions and engage deeply with the material. I believe that fostering curiosity is key to academic success, and I strive to connect the subject matter to real-world applications. My passion for education is driven by my desire to help students achieve their goals and discover their potential. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring nature and learning about different cultures, which enriches my approach to teaching and connecting with my students.

Hi! My name is Yash Kavadia, and I'm currently a Finance major at the University of Texas at Austin's McCombs School of Business. I graduated from Bergen County Academies, one of the top-ranked public high schools in the country, and I've always had the passion and patience for helping others succeed too. Over the years, I've tutored students in subjects ranging from elementary school math and English to high school AP classes to SAT prep and college prep. I personalize every lesson to match the student's unique learning style and goals. I personalize every session according to the student, their pace, and their goals and deadlines. My approach focuses on building confidence, mastering concepts, and making learning engaging and effective. I know how stressful academics and test prep can be, and my goal is to make things simpler and more manageable for my students. Whether you're trying to boost a grade, prep for the SAT, or strengthen your college applications, I'm here to support you every step of the way. Let's work together to help you reach your potential! Especially with school starting, this is the perfect time to start and get ready and ahead.

I am currently a PhD student in high energy theoretical physics at New York University, with research interests in quantum gravity and holography. Prior to starting my PhD, I completed my Bachelor's at Brandeis University in Physics and Pure Mathematics, with a minor in Computer Science. Throughout my time at Brandeis and NYU, I have been a teaching assistant for various physics courses, ranging from introductory physics for pre-medical students to quantum mechanics and general relativity. My teaching experience so far has been a mix of in-person and online, leading recitation sections, classes, and study sessions. I have a particular fondness for teaching introductory physics courses, since I've always hated hearing people say "I hated physics in high school" or "you have to be a genius to study physics", the latter of which is certainly not true (trust me). I think, when done properly, teaching physics to students for the first time can be unbelievably rewarding. I love giving students a better understanding of the world around them, and helping them to appreciate all the science behind the technologies they use daily. I have also helped my students in the past with reviewing calculus, geometry, algebra, trigonometry, and other more advanced areas of mathematics as they appear in physics. From having taught and tutored mathematics and physics in the past, I have found that solving problems is absolutely essential to learning the material. So, during tutoring sessions I dedicate a substantial amount of time to solving problems based around the material covered. Physics and mathematics lectures tend to lean more theoretical in nature, so I believe that tutoring should serve as a practical supplement to the otherwise dense and theoretical lectures. Of course, I also see the value in having theoretical-style lectures, and enjoy teaching those. However, especially for students who are just beginning to learn physics and mathematics, seeing many MANY worked examples is crucial to internalizing the material. Moreover, having these tutoring sessions be interactive, where I can ask the students questions and they can ask me questions, seems to intellectually stimulate students far more than if I were just talking to them. Outside of academia, I enjoy exercise, training jiu jitsu and muay thai, reading, listening to music, and spending time with my family. As of late, my reading mostly consists of Christian theology (Thomas Aquinas and the various Ancient Church Fathers) and 20th century history.

I am a rising junior at Johns Hopkins University double majoring in Molecular and Cellular Biology and the History of Science and Technology. It has always been a passion of mine to explore the details of science. Within these details, my curiosity engages me to pry and ask more questions. One of the ways I am able to do this is at my lab at Hopkins where I do research and design experiments on the neuronal membrane proteasome. Tutoring allows me to spread my passion for biology and chemistry, while also challenging my scientific knowledge. I encourage students to ask questions, will teach them how to apply their knowledge, and emphasize why an answer is correct. Getting the correct answer is not as important as understanding the fundamentals as to how someone arrives at that answer. I have previous experience teaching science through leading study groups at college and teaching high schoolers at my previous lab the fundamentals of biology, experimentation, and laboratory techniques. Outside of classwork, I have played saxophone for 11 years, enjoy running, and am a big New York sports fan.

I am a detail-oriented multi-tasker with experience implementing long-term planning academic strategies and managing client needs. I have earned multiple Ivy League degrees, including: a post-baccalaureate from Harvard University; a JD from Columbia University School of Law, where I also served as Senior Editor on The Columbia Human Rights Law Review and Senior Editor on The Columbia Law School Jailhouse Lawyer's Manual. I additionally was the Founder/Editor/Writer/Cartoonist for a law school publication, The Satiric Method. I graduated magna cum laude from Dartmouth College with an Honors B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing and a B.A. in Russian Area Studies. I am a licensed attorney with over 25 years of professional paid and volunteer tutoring, writing, and homeschooling experience. I have experience tutoring every age level, from childhood to graduate school. I am comfortable tutoring one-on-one or in groups.

I am a Washington University Law School graduate who also has a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Education from the University of Missouri. I have seven years teaching experience on both the high school and post-secondary level. I can assist students with standardized test preparation, Reading Comprehension and Writing. I have taught Government, English, World Religions, History and Psychology in the past. I scored in the top 98th percentile on the LSAT and specialize in helping students using proven techniques to increase their scores. Specifically, I can help students more easily break down the types of logic games and to distinguish between right and wrong answers in the Logical Reasoning and Reading Comprehension sections. I enjoy helping others obtain their educational goals, and would love to help increase your test scores, grades or simply to understand your subject area better.

Hello! I'm a 3rd-year medical student with plans to specialize in neurology or psychiatry. I previously graduated summa cum laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, with minors in biology and chemistry. I have an extensive tutoring background, beginning in high school. First, as an elementary school ESL tutor due to my 11 years of Spanish and Advanced Placement course experience, later becoming a Supplemental Instructor for my college's Psychology 101 courses for 2 semesters. Here I would create and hold twice weekly lessons for challenging material, pre- and post-exam reviews, and regular evening "office hours" for one-on-one, confidential, personalized support. With COVID-19, I was forced to rapidly adapt to both virtual and hybrid settings, but here I learned strategies to succeed, both as a tutor as well as a student, that I still use today! Through my own academic journey, one of these lessons I hold dear is to embrace weakness just as much as you'd embrace strength. Taking time to celebrate successes (even the small ones) has been just as important to my success as reviewing my shortcomings and evaluating potential future obstacles. In this way, I believe my role as a tutor is to elevate each student's unique strengths and successes, while working together to actively and openly spot and address any roadblocks to success!

I am a Northwestern University graduate and received my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with a concentration in Robotics. I have an extensive background tutoring middle and high school students in Standardized Tests as well as helping incoming freshmen acclimate to the college environment as a Peer Advisor. Due to my concentration in STEM, I am well-adept in teaching Math and Physics, though am open to tutoring outside those subjects. I believe that working on one's education outside of regular school hours shows a strong initiative to learn, and I want to encourage this drive for learning in my students.
