...I'm excited to be back at it. Since graduating, I've worked for Oberlin's Office of Communications, written for two alternative weeklies (Cleveland's Scene and Portland's Willamette Week) and an app (Countable.us), and gone on tour with my band. When I'm not tutoring or on deadline, you can find me with my guitar in the studio, caramelizing onions for my next big feast or with my nose buried in a book on the Q train.

...live in New York. I'm continually learning, reading, and researching, and I enjoy sharing my understandings with others to help them do the same. I very much enjoy both "left-brained" and "right-brained" subjects (like math and art), and am fond of exploring either sort through the lens of the other. For this reason, I enjoy helping people who tend to prefer a particular mode to understand the other, in a language that makes sense to...

...the SAT and ACT but I also tutor high school and college math, science and history courses. My teaching style focuses on clear and thorough didactic teaching to ensure that you, the student, understand the concept and then follow that up with many practice problems to ensure mastery of the topic. I believe that only through practice will you master the skills needed to succeed and excel in your school work or on the standardized...

...an outstanding public speaker (teaching Effective Public Speaking at The City University of New York for 2 years). I have a good-natured sense of humor and no-nonsense approach, and remain very comfortable using these skills in settings with existing and future students. For me, the "pitch" is effective not only due to the passion in one's approach, but gauging the audience through active listening and empathy. I mentioned passion, which is contagious. I have a...

...also in History. My legal experience includes working as a summer law clerk for two appellate judges and as a summer associate at a large law firm in New York City. In college and in law school I tutored for a variety of subjects and enjoy working with students one-on-one to tackle and master difficult concepts. In my spare time, I enjoy taking in all that New York has to offer including biking in the...

I work with students from elementary to college level on Reading Comprehension,English, Essay Writing, Phonics, SSAT, and SAT test prep. As a tutor, I create individualized and goal oriented strategies for my students in order to facilitate their success. My interests include reading (unsurprisingly), running, cooking, and traveling; I recently studied abroad in Argentina and hope to see more of the world...

...New York. More recently, I've coordinated and facilitated retreats for emerging adults, focusing on personal growth skills and political education. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I'm most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I've recently (and successfully) tutored myself in test preparation skills, so I am also very prepared to tutor test-prep. In my experience as a tutor, I have a great track record helping students develop their interest in reading anything!...

I believe that communication and flexibility are key to successful teaching.

Through five years working in education, across all grades and subject matters, I feel confident in helping any way I can. A determined, empathetic leader ready to help in all things scholastic.

...subjects! I enjoy working with students at all levels. I am a vibrant young tutor with many pursuits. My background is in the marketing, the arts, and social sciences and I hold a BA from Santa Clara University and a Master of Music degree from Boston University. When I'm not tutoring I am writing, editing, singing and helping others achieve their goals. My favorite subjects to tutor are writing, reading, English and study skills/organization. I...

...a tutor for all ages and subjects. I'm currently a graduate student working on my Master's in English where I study poetry. I've been a tutor for 4 years in college settings, but also working with children and young adults. I worked as a college writing center tutor during my time in undergrad. After graduation, I worked as a private tutor with a fourth grade girl and a middle school boy--we worked on English, Math,...

As a driven undergraduate student with an array of experience within the fields of mathematics, statistics and english composition, I aim to provide my services to motivated students to help them realize their true academic potential. In addition, I hope to learn from my students as I pursue a career in education.

...and science for the past 14 years. I am driven by a desire to help people succeed because I believe that almost everything in this world comes down to how we were taught. It took me years to learn to swim. I got the stroke patterns down early but it wasn't until someone told me to exhale all the way through not just into the water but as my face is leaving the water that...

...teaching experience in the past has included SAT/ACT prep, essay revision, mathematics tutoring, and specific SAT Subject Test tutoring. Now that I've almost finished my time as a college student, I would be happy to walk other students through ways to read an academic text, study methods, and specific college coursework questions. I am a previous teacher through Americorps in their summer program for future first gen college students. I look forward to getting to...

...unique needs and learning styles. I strive to create an engaging environment where students feel empowered to explore their artistic potential, integrating subjects like science and history into art lessons to illustrate the interconnectedness of knowledge. My commitment to professional development extends to mentoring fellow educators and leading workshops across 30 schools, ensuring that the arts remain a vital component of education. I believe in the power of art to inspire, and I am excited...

...in Communication Arts. Quickly after graduation, I realized that this career wasn't going to fulfill me in the way I thought it would. I thought back to my babysitting, nanny, and tutoring jobs and realized that nothing else in my life had ever made me feel as gratified as creating an environment for children to grow, feel nurtured, and learn. Children taught me so much about myself in my young adulthood and the idea of...

...and teaching skills. In all of my work experiences I have prioritized building strong relationships with my clients and students founded on mutual respect and strong communication. In my own learning I have benefited so much from, one-on-one support and I want to share the power of that learning with students of all ages, particularly during a time when learning has developed new challenges.

I have been a nanny and babysitter for years as well as worked as a teaching assistant at a private pre-school. I try to make learning as fun as possible and as individualized as possible! What works for one student doesn't always work for another. I look forward to working with you and your child(ren)!

...and they eat for a lifetime" proverb may be a bit corny and overused at this point, it is still very relevant for continued academic success. It is always a fantastic idea to ask for help when you don't understand something, but it's important that you help yourself as much as you can as well. Outside of schoolwork I play the tuba in my college's Wind Ensemble. I learned how to play the euphonium/baritone in...

...began taking classes in [business, healthcare, french, biology, engineering, law] figuring out how to make learning fun and most importantly useful. At that time, I became entrepreneurial and wanted to soak up as much knowledge as I could. Around my junior year, I began looking how I could apply my knowledge to the outside work, noticing problems and attempting (earnestly) to solve them. I began going to places none of my friends knew about, attending...
