...enrichment through arts to Pre-K students who attend underserved and struggling public schools in the Bronx and Manhattan. At Time In I was able to combine my interests by working both as an assistant art instructor and grant writer for the program. I believe that the role of an educator is to identify ways to make information accessible to every student. I want to instill in every student the confidence to ask questions and seek...

...classrooms as well as facilitated academic based programs. I find the best way to work with a student is to figure out how they learn and help them to understand the material a way that makes sense to them. I have a very kind, easy going, funny personality but most of all I am dedicated and no matter what happens I tell my students that if they work with me they will succeed. Nothing is...

...guide a writer's ability to analyze, organize, and captivate while encouraging his or her strengths. I began taking standardized tests with the ITBS in kindergarten and took at least one per year through grade school including ten AP exams and the PSAT with which I became a National Merit Scholar. I've learned that testing well requires as much skill as it does knowledge, and I look forward to helping students learn to recognize the type...

I worked at New York Language Center for six months, teaching adult ESL learners. I currently work as a private English tutor for children and adults. Thank you for your consideration!

...students helped me cultivate a philosophy of teaching based around honest and effective communication. I like to ask questions to build confidence and encourage academic conversation. I also taught English as a Second Language in Korea where I adopted novel approaches to communicate across the language barrier as well as to keep students interested.

I am willing to gather specific materials, study guides, and textbooks used in your courses to know how to best tackle what you may be struggling with or simply the subjects with which you wish to do even better.

I've always known I wanted to teach. Once I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology/Neuroscience, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education. I love working with classrooms full of students, but I also love working with people one-on-one. I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

...get students to think like the test maker so they can anticipate these tricks. What concept are they trying to test you on with this question? What's important about this concept? What might they want to make sure you know? I also love tutoring Spanish. I lived in Madrid for 9 months during college, and I relish speaking Spanish any chance I get. I still remember what was confusing to me when I was learning...

...and magic. I approach teaching from a non "math brain" approach to make sure all of my students can understand the material. I had testing anxiety as a student and have used my past to help my approach with my students. In addition to being a teacher and tutor, I am a father so I also understand the parental side of tutoring. I am a mentor to many of my former students who have graduated...

...math and understand how to convey concepts in practical and clear ways so students gain a real understanding of the material. My particular specialty is Math. My style of teaching--and my passion for the subject-- resulted in high test scores and the gratification of a lot of students. A passion for math is a contagious thing. My students learn not because they have to learn, but because they want to learn -- a huge difference.

...the University of Central Florida. While I was working towards my bachelor's degree I worked as a substitute teacher in all grade levels, as well as volunteered as a reading tutor for two years. I love working with younger students, but I have worked with students of all ages. I am very aware what it is like to struggle your way through a test or difficult subject area in academics, which is why I am...

...of finding the approach that works with each person. I focus on first understanding why a student is having difficulty, rather than just drilling them. Sometimes this is a matter of the student's learning style, in which case I adapt my teaching style to that and help them develop studying habits suited to their way of learning. Sometimes it's a matter of having trouble with a particular concept, in which case I'll work with the...

...where to take any tutoring session. Having an academic and practical elementary/middle school application understanding of data definitely enforces corrective instruction, reteaching, or content enrichment that will occur. I have also worked a great deal with middle school students in pilot programs that center around blended and asynchronous learning. I am entering my 6th year as an elementary/middle school teacher. I have worked with students in grades 2-8th and bridge programs for students 9-11. My...

My teaching philosophy is to bring out each student's knowledge and experiences to...

I believe education plays a vital role in the success of young people. I believe everyone is capable of learning given proper opportunities and sufficient attention. Most importantly, I believe I understand how to help, motivate, and communicate what I have learned to students and can therefore contribute to enhancing the prospects of young people.

...research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a student I was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude. Instead of boring memorization, I like to look for patterns and think of creative approaches to study subjects that can otherwise be very frustrating. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain...

...ignite that spark of passion for learning in my students. My ultimate goal is to teach them to be independent learners and problem solvers, to be critical readers, to ask questions, to know where to look for answers as well as to have the self confidence to tackle novel problems and find their own solutions. Over the course of my teaching career I have dealt with a broad range of challenges that students face when...

...of teaching that drew me to that first summer job I ever had, but I soon realized how rewarding it is to work with young people and help them acquire skills they can use throughout their lifetime.

Since then, I have enjoyed my...
