Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Yonkers, NY

...I tutored middle school students in English and Math, and I assisted other high school students study for standardized tests at my local test prep school. During my many experiences teaching and tutoring children and students younger than me, I have found that many of them still try to achieve instant gratification through their studies, although that is simply not possible. I aim to avoid teaching "plug-n-chug" methods to solve problems, but help my students...

...the English portion of the SAT. I have experience tutoring all of these subjects and have seen positive results from my students. I believe that patience is key when teaching. Not everyone's brain works the same as mine! I try to look at problems through the eyes of the student to fully understand where the miscommunication may stem from. Mutual respect and empathy between both student and tutor is what I try to encourage during...

I have developed an effective method of developing students' expository essay writing skills, and it is so rewarding to see students' pride in their personal improvement. I am comfortable tutoring in a wide variety of subjects, and my greatest strengths are high school writing and middle school mathematics. My enthusiasm and love for learning is contagious, and there is never a dull moment in my...

...list, which they can take pride in enlarging. Contextual understanding can be achieved by offering stories and sharing the process of exploration and discovery, both online and in books. Writing, where many students have the greatest difficulty, should be enjoyed as an expressive activity, not dreaded as a mysterious and difficult task they will never master. I teach rules of grammar and the best practices for composition as parts of the process of writing, which...

...sessions to educate the public on the process, timeline, and project. I previously served the people of New York as a Policy Advisor to Governor Andrew M. Cuomo. Where I developed policy proposals for the Governor's annual legislative agenda and budget. I also worked to translate these complex policies into simple to understand concepts for communicating with the public. I came to public service by way of Manhattan Community Board 4, where I served from...

...science. I have always enjoyed writing and editing papers which is part of the reason I was drawn to history as a major. I have worked in the past with students ranging in age from kindergarten - 11th grade. Outside of school, I spend a lot of time writing content for games of Dungeons and Dragons with my friends each week and I enjoy playing video games like Minecraft, Stardew Valley, and more.

...of knowledge and a commitment to personal growth. I have always been driven by a passion for tutoring young children, middle schoolers and high schoolers, and my experiences have shaped my understanding of its complexities.

My dedication to tutoring stems from a...

...moving students from below to above grade level performance in each of these areas. My approach is individualized intervention strategies tied to "real-world" applications of skills. This assures that students are not just learning content, but understand the context in which the content is useful for college and career success. Ninety-six percent of my students passed the state ELA exam after being scored below grade level the previous school year. I enjoy teaching language arts...

...told, taught, and studied correctly, history can be the most thrilling story. I believe tutoring should be a rigorous but fun experience where both the tutor and student feel comfortable with each other. The first thing I do when I meet a new student is get to know their passions, interests, and experiences so I can make analogies to ideas and concepts they already know about. Part of prepping for standardized tests is feeling confident...

...students prepare for Standardized Tests, we always seem to have the most fun prepping for the Critical Reading and Writing portions of the exams, where we create a personalized strategy based on the student's strengths and weaknesses when it comes to reading comprehension. My tutoring style revolves around personalization to the student - at the first session, we'll chat about your strengths and hobbies and use these as a way of accessing your target subject...

...to develop personalized lessons for students founded on a trusting relationship rather than the transactional and memorization based education I felt I predominantly received growing up. I am energized most by the rare look in student's eyes when they finally cement the connection they have hovered on the edge of making. Watching the second grade students whose tutors I coordinated make those connections has made me consider teaching as a profession, and I hope by...

...The students were teenage Tibetan refugees and one monk from Thailand who was in town to learn English. The class spoke a mixture of bad English, Tibetan, and Nepali, but they had signed up for my creative writing seminar anyway. Some of them couldn't write or were afraid to share their writing, and some of them were more than eager to read personal essays about what was meaningful to them. At the end of the...

...and technical proficiency in reading and writing, with a special emphasis in Philosophy on clarity. These are values I have internalized, and I believe my work reflects that: for instance, in 2014, my GRE Verbal Reasoning scores placed me in the top 1% of test-takers. I moved to Brooklyn at the beginning of February. I have really enjoyed getting acquainted with the Greater New York area, and I've been lucky to attend some excellent live...

Hi there! I'm Audrey, and I'm thrilled to be part of your educational journey.

...society. By using comparisons to my students lives I am able to engage them in the subject and provide them with the capacity to learn the material. Writing and reading are also challenges for students I am currently working with or have taught in the past. I believe firmly in what I call "text coding." I encourage my students to read through a passage and underline words they are unfamiliar with and then rephrase many...

Because my model teacher is Jesus Christ, I try to emulate his style; that is, with patience, humility, grace, passion, and accuracy.
