I am a currently attending Graduate School and working towards my Masters of Science in Education for Urban Adolescents with Special Needs (Grades 7-12). I enjoy tutoring because I find contributing to another person's joy and sense of accomplishment immensely gratifying.I am a person who enjoys different and challenging experiences, and I believe my track record as a tutor is an example of that. I have had the opportunity of engaging in the most unique mixture of peculiar, fun, and stimulating positions. My experience ranges from ESL classes with Somali refugee students in high school to Special Needs students in elementary school. I have also done some freelance tutoring intermittently for friends and family. All of these experiences have been contributed to my teaching style. My philosophy for tackling challenging academic subjects is also an outgrowth of my own personal study habits.I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition, and improvement will surely follow.Furthermore, I believe positive reinforcement and encouragement are also invaluable tutoring tools. Inspiring confidence in students so that they don't become discouraged by difficulties they encounter keeps them engaged and more inclined to self-improvement.

I graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 2014 with a BS in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Electrical Engineering. Since graduating, I have been working as a private tutor in New York City, where I primarily work with students preparing for the MCAT. I began tutoring over 8 years ago, and I've since taught a number of subjects across student ages ranging from middle school to post-graduate levels, mostly focusing on STEM subjects such as math, chemistry, physics, and engineering. I have discovered that teaching is a passion of mine, and plan on going into academic medicine in the future so I can incorporate this passion into my medical career. Besides tutoring, I enjoy reading, binge-watching shows on Netflix, and learning how to cook. I'm also a huge music nerd; I love finding new artists and I play the drums myself.My teaching philosophy is heavily influenced by my engineering education. I rely on a Socratic, discussion-based method where I encourage my students to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through any future problems based in those foundations. I also apply this philosophy to test prep, but supplement exam studies with a strong focus on test strategy so that my students can "beat the test".

I am a graduate of Texas A & M-Commerce and the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication and my Masters degree in Elementary Education and Educational Administration. Since graduation, I have gained experience in community development, retail merchandising and education. I served in the Air Force National Guard for 10 years and gained the rank of SSgt. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse group of students during my teaching tenure. I worked as a tutor at a private school where my primary focus dealt with reading, math and writing. Recently, I taught developmental writing at Eastfield College. My teaching and tutoring experience has empowered me to teach a range of subjects. My passion is writing and reading. In my experience of helping struggling students prepare for standardized tests and the GRE, I came to appreciate the different types of learning styles and utilized resources that allow students to gain confidence, therefore, becoming successful.

I'm a rising junior at Harvard College. I study African American Studies with a secondary in Women's Studies and I am pursuing a language citation in Spanish. I aspire to one day go to business school. When I am not doing work, I can typically be found reading, writing, or dancing.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in History from Holy Cross and an M.B.A. with a concentration in finance from Wake Forest. My primary areas of focus are SAT, Latin, Study Skills and Organization, Critical Reading, Essay Writing, Grammar and Literature. I find out what frustrations students are having and work with them to develop strategies to address their individual needs. In particular, I believe strongly in my writing and critical thinking skills and I believe that I can leverage these strengths to help students improve their own skills. I'm a big sports fan - especially baseball, football and golf - and I love running, reading, history and the movies.

I taught high school English in New Jersey for eight years. I am a highly qualified teacher and licensed in NJ for English grades 6-12. I received a BA in English from Douglass College at Rutgers University, and my Masters in Education is from Rutgers, Graduate School of Education.I have taught grades 9-12, but I primarily taught 11th grade, British Literature.

I have experience working with a diverse range of students and can adapt to the needs of each unique learner. I aim to provide one-on-one individualized lessons for each client. For the last year, I have been working as a teaching assistant to an honors faculty member at Arizona State University (ASU). As a teaching assistant, I prepare class materials, perform lectures, grade written assignments of at least 120 students per semester, and individually tutor undergraduate students in overcoming academic difficulties. My goal is to instill a passion of lifelong learning and to teach critical thinking to every one of my students as I believe these are driving factors in students' success both personally and professionally.I recently graduated Summa Cum Laude with my Masters in Social Work and am working on a Masters in Public Administration at ASU. These programs have sharpened my study skills, essay writing, reading comprehension, public speaking and critical thinking abilities. In turn, I am able to tutor students in developing these important skills. While in school, I also worked as a Constituent Services Coordinator for Congresswoman Sinema which required me to develop excellent organizational and time-management skills that I am excited to pass on to my students!I have been trained in direct behavioral health assessment and treatment, as well as in communication studies, developing and presenting curriculum, public budgeting, human resource management, program evaluation, policy analysis, advocacy and much more! My diverse academic and employment history has afforded me the opportunity to work with individuals from all ages and skill levels. I look forward to providing quality tutoring to learners on a full range of subjects including test preparation, and am happy to accommodate my clients by having a very flexible schedule!

I am currently a graduate student at NYU pursuing a Masters of Arts degree in English and American Literature. I graduated from Colgate University in 2014 with a double major in English Literature and Environmental Economics.I really enjoy tutoring test prep, especially the verbal and writing sections of the GRE and SAT, as mastering a few tricks and strategies of how to tackle these sections can make the tests much more approachable and fun. I also enjoy teaching essay writing and inspiring students to write captivating, unique college or graduate school essays. I recently spent an academic year tutoring middle school students in a Los Angeles public school.I am a firm believer in inquisitive, question-based learning. I have a lot of energy and love to share my joy of all things English and writing!Outside of school, I enjoy reading, creative writing, traveling, and spending time outdoors.

I received my dual bachelor’s degrees at the University of Southern California in Neurosciences and Biological Sciences. Since graduation, I have worked for two years at a USC research institute; in that time, I also developed a love for teaching. In the course of discovering this affinity, I have taught programs from the Neighborhood Academic Initiative at USC for underserved high schoolers to my most recent employment at Kaplan, Inc. Although I have extensive experience in managing and working in a classroom, I prefer to work with students one-on-one; it is more rewarding for both of us to discover strengths and weaknesses, find how our teaching and learning styles match, and see improvement. The time I have spent taking and tutoring students for standardized tests has only refined my understanding of what students need and have the most trouble with. Although I enjoy and have experience teaching a vast array of subjects (especially during my time at a graduation lab at Irving High School), I am especially drawn to the sciences, math and English. The love for the former two stems from years of education and interest in the sciences, and the latter harks even further back to my addiction to reading that I acquired in elementary school. I am a voracious reader, especially science fiction and fantasy, and many have told me that my affection for the language is infectious! My hobbies outside devouring literary delicacies include singing, playing the guitar, basketball, running, boxing and hiking.
