Award-Winning Summer Tutors in Buffalo, NY

I have recently completed my Graduate Degree in Childhood Education at Canisius College. I received my Undergraduate Degree at Buffalo State College in Early Education in the STEM Areas. I believe in getting to know my students and their needs to allow myself to teach them appropriately.

...the end of my first year of teaching high school, I decided to return to UA to continue my graduate-level education and to pursue a career in Medical Physics. My favorite subjects to teach and tutor are all levels of algebra, calculus, physics, and biology. Patience, communication, and empathy are central to my teaching philosophy and are key skills for any successful teacher, and with the right toolkit, anyone can learn and master a subject....

Hi, my name is Naomi, and I am happy to tutor for Varsity Tutors. I study English literature and philosophy, so reading and writing are my strongest suits, but I am glad to help in any of my listed subjects. Please send me a message to let me know how I can be of assistance!... It depends on the subject, but I like to be creative and use all sorts of materials to draw/write/graph etc.... I...

...tutoring through my University where I studied physics and fine arts and I really enjoyed it. I think the process of teaching and discussing material can be hugely beneficial for both the tutor and the student. I am very well versed in Physics and Calculus and enjoy discussing them a great deal. In the future I hope to continue on in physics in graduate school. Out side of academics I enjoy hiking and camping as...

...pace and take a different approach to our sessions. I incorporate study skills and test taking stechniques into y tutoring sessions because it is important that students can use these skills in other subjects as well. I know that I have done my job when a student calls me at the end of semester excited to tell me how well their final exam went. If you or your child needs help with economics, math or...

...We'll go over what you're studying in class, reviewing the vocabulary and grammar and then practicing until you're comfortable. After that, we'll look at and discuss a short passage and a recording. We'll end each session with a quiz to make sure you're comfortable with the material and then have an open-ended discussion in the target language. For supplemental material, I'll send you music, movies, and fun videos to look at outside of class. Above...

...work as a poet, a freelance editor, and am on the editorial staff of two national literary journals. Outside of my love affair with writing, I also hike, dance, sing, and do community organizing in the areas of social and environmental justice. As an educator and mentor, I have discovered that my job is about seeing and listening more than directing, sparking students to act on their passions while developing the structure and strategies to...

...for the sciences. Through tutoring, I hope to share these insights and excitement for the subject while deepening conceptual understandings. The greatest metric of success in a tutoring session is being told that I was able to break down explanations from the student's class and reformulate them into a version that is compatible with their way of thinking. I aim to use my empathy and sensitivity to students' unique struggles and learning styles to teach...

...Heart Academy in 2009 as the class salutatorian, an AP and Distinguished Honor Roll student, and the recipient of the IHA Math Award. Kelsey still attributes her academic successes to the study tactics she developed during her formative elementary and high school years, and she believes that all students (regardless of their field of focus) need to build a solid foundation in writing, reading comprehension, grammatical and syntactical knowledge, and time management techniques. Kelsey has...

...engineering background. In school, I learned how to break down problems, analyze each component, and then proceed step-by-step to a solution. This same approach has helped me excel as a tutor because breaking down problems for students and guiding them as they grapple with the concepts involved helps identify sticking points and facilitates a comprehensive understanding of the material at hand. My previous tutoring experience has taught me how to be patient, present information to...

...learn mathematics. I have been working as a tutor since I was thirteen for mathematics and I love every minute of it. I like tackling new mathematics and helping students view their work at different angles that might help them come to an understanding of the subject. Being able to do math, not just arithmetic, is an ability that every student has and I believe that together we can figure out how to let that...

...others learn brings me great joy, and Ive had the privilege of teaching people from a variety of ages and backgrounds. I was a supplemental instructor for the Statistical Analysis course at Augsburg College and also served as a tutor through the Academic Skills Office there.

I have worked with undergrad and graduate students, ELs, and elementary students. In fact, my experience working with adolescents, teens, and adults...

...(the blocking, a quick change in costumes, changes in a script) and quickly organize that information so that I can convey it to someone else. I enjoy and excel at condensing and re-communicating facts or tasks, so that they become comprehensible to someone who may not understand them the first time around. It is not just my success at standardized tests or in my classes that will make me a great tutor, but also this...

...too late to catch up. My goal is to work together to pick up the pieces that were lost or are close, but not quite there: learning the way you want to learn and the way you learn best rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes and labored through the workbooks to prepare for taking the exams myself. The trick is to learn the test and...

...education can pay great dividends. I have tutored students from middle school through college-level and had tremendous pleasure of helping over 50 students achieve their potential and dramatically improve their grades and test scores. Seeing the students I have worked with succeed provides me with tremendous satisfaction and drives me to continue tutoring. I specialize in tutoring for standardized tests, including the MCAT, GRE, SAT, and ACT, and have scored in the 99th percentile on...

...including math, Spanish, reading, and writing. I currently work on campus as a writing consultant. I enjoy collaborating with students on building and editing their essays from the beginning to the end of the writing process. As a student myself I am well aware of the frustration of not quite understanding a concept or just needing someone else to bounce ideas off of. I am happy to be able to provide that support to other...

In my time with the tutoring center, I earned the "Distinguished Service Award" three times. I really enjoyed learning how to best help each student succeed. Because of this experience, I intend to always include education as a part of what I do. Outside of academics, I enjoy playing tennis and...

I have also captained an award-winning collegiate mock trial team for several years, which involves mentoring younger students in oral and written communication skills. In addition to my experience, standardized testing has always been a forte of mine. I am enthusiastic about sharing the skills and strategies that I have picked up along my...
