...memorizing the multiplication tables and had to stay and practice after a long day of learning. These instances are just two of the many opportunities that I had to see the values of intensity and grit displayed in the educational setting. Those examples were the seedlings that would prove to be beneficial into me becoming the man that I am today. Because the elders of my family forged such an identifiable pathway, I have always...

...have seen that the biggest challenge that prevents students from succeeding is a lack of self confidence. My mother is a part-time business owner, who couldn't operate a computer on her own until this year. When I was young, she simply decided that she was 'bad at technology' and it stuck. Eventually, my sister and I sat her down and gave her instructions on how to access the internet. The next day, we taught her...

...to memory and score high and/or higher! I have been a teaching assistant for calculus and physics and research assistant for power system design and analysis work at the college of engineering at my graduate school. In two consecutive summers, I was the math teacher and tutor for the Upward Bound High School summer camp which gave me priceless knowledge and experience on what the high school students are interested in learning and what their...

...apply your knowledge is as important as building a store of knowledge to draw from for academic success. As a teacher, I strive to accurately identify my students weaknesses and strengths before bolstering them with my own knowledge. I want my students to gain an understanding of the fundamentals of the subject that they are struggling with. This kind of understanding will help not only with immediate academic gains, but with future success as well....

...quality education and school success for my students. I currently work in the school system particularly with elementary aged students with special needs in all subject areas. My strongest subject is Mathematics and I also believe in the development of good study habits in all areas, thus I feel that students still need to be taught what is good studying, how to stay organized and focus on a study plan for success. Once a struggling...

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

...graduated with a degree in English with a minor in Political Science from the University at Buffalo with Honors distinctions. During my tenure as a student of the University, I was a member of the English Honor Society and tutored other students in developing their writing skills and helping them get through substantial assignments such as essays or long research papers. By focusing on organization, grammar, syntax, voice, and general flow, the peers I would...

I have experience preparing students for the New York State ELA exams grades 3-8 and preparing high school students for the TASC...

...subjects. If you're struggling with the algebra that's so often involved in solving chemistry problems (or if you're struggling with algebra I in general), I tutor for that as well. Finally, should you be preparing for the ACT, I provide tutoring services in all subject areas of that test (including Writing) and scored in the 98th percentile of test-takers as a senior in high school. I know how difficult and stressful preparing for standardized tests,...

I am currently a 5th grade teacher for the NYC Department of Education. I believe that EVERY student can succeed. All it takes is a little maneuvering and skill from a dedicated teacher and dedication from a student.

...English, and almost decided to be an English major! However, healthcare proved to be a more promising field. I recently moved to New York from CA to pursue a career in pharmaceutical industry, in which I am able to align my passions in healthcare and English. I am looking to tutor on the side during weekends. This will allow me to utilize my English skills, as well as to relive the days when I tutored...

...at New York University studying Economics. I did my undergrad in my home state at the University of Georgia, where my academic curiosity led me to choose a wide variety of classes that could be described as either "well rounded" or "deeply unfocused." After four years and three semesters abroad, I left with degrees in English and Economics and a minor in Ecology. I am flexible in what I can tutor, but I am particularly...

...taught to a great variety of individuals, from opera singers to bankers, from preschool age children to retired grandparents. I attended the University of Turin, Italy, where I received a Master in Modern Art and History and moved to New York to be closer to my husband's family. My teaching credo is simple: I strive to meet each one of my students where they are and I make it my job to suit my teaching...

...grade math and third grade. I currently teach first grade. I love teaching all subjects but teaching reading is my favorite. I love seeing students learn to truly enjoy reading and making it fun rather than a struggle. Through my variety of experiences, I have learned that through engaging and differentiated lessons, every student is able to make progress and most importantly- become inquisitive, lifelong earners. In my free time, I love to read, hike,...

...no attribute more valued than passion. My teaching philosophy revolves around the core idea that the student should be the one to find the answers they need. Rote memorization, reciting, and hurling out facts without context will always place second to a true desire to learn when it comes to succeeding in academics. Not only should the tutor and the student aim to understand a subject, they should also try to develop a love for...

...I keep my students consistently engaged with questions. I know how to rephrase questions and bring them back in ways that each student is interested in to see maximum results. Most importantly, I find ways to make the material interesting and easily relatable to my students. A personal investment in material is a great way to see progress! Aside from learning and teaching, I love traveling (I recently visited Taiwan, Singapore, and Malaysia and plan...

...recently graduated from New York University with degrees in global public health and sociology, as well as a minor in Media, Culture, and Communications. I hope to continue my academic career in law school either this fall or in 2022 (if I can get in, so can you!) I am originally from Texas, where I attended a small private school that taught the classical curriculum. Receiving a classical education has helped me develop skills in...

...potential. I also have three years of experience substituting and have previously worked at Huntington Learning Center. I studied Creative Writing at SUNY Purchase, which taught me to write, edit, and critique. Because of this, I love to tutor language arts and writing. My background in writing has taught me to be concise and clear, which helps me explain difficult material and break it down. I also know how to encourage reading, and I know...

I received my Bachelors degree in electrical engineering from Manhattan College, New York, and right now, I am pursuing my MBA degree from Louisiana State University.
