College English Tutor • +17 Subjects

I studied Comparative Literature - French and English at Barnard College from 2005-2009. While attending Barnard I studied abroad in Paris at Columbia's Reid Hall program and at The Sorbonne. I trained and worked as a Barnard Writing Fellow, editing college-level papers and tutoring fellow students in essay writing and public speaking. I also volunteered as a tutor for NYC fifth graders. To this day, I am still an avid reader and I volunteer as a tutor for children in my free time in addition to performing improv and playing music.

ACT English Tutor • +21 Subjects

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, where I primarily studied Spanish, Creative Writing, and History. I am currently planning to enter law school, and I enjoy writing novels on the side.I have experience teaching and tutoring in both Spanish and English. I have worked as a high school Spanish teacher's assistant, an elementary school Spanish instructor, a high school writing coach, and an adult language learner ESL teacher.I believe in turning students into teachers--helping learn the subject matter well enough that they feel comfortable explaining it to another person. I'm always eager to work with an individual student to develop a teaching and studying approach that caters to that student's individual strengths and needs. I believe patience, understanding and a positive, friendly tutor-student relationship is the key to quality learning.

Valerie

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +37 Subjects

I am an undergraduate student at the University of Chicago majoring in Classics and Theatre. However, my college uses the core curriculum and as a result, I've had a well-rounded, eclectic education covering everything from math to fine arts. I've won awards in community service, dance, and film, but most notably, 20 writing prizes before I reached eighteen. I was a National Merit Semi-Finalist in high school and I've had a passion for education and the art of learning since I was a child. I hope to instill in my students the love of amassing knowledge, excelling in your studies, and walking out of a test feeling like you rocked it. I especially had a passion for the Critical Reading and the Writing portions of the SAT's and the SAT 2 in Literature. I have teaching experience with everything from stand-up comedy to Emergency Medical Services to tap dancing, and I've been told that I am unmatched in my enthusiasm. In my free time, I like to perform sketch and improv comedy, dance, play the banjo, and volunteer in my local hospital.

My previous teaching and mentoring experiences include working as a volunteer math tutor at Columbia’s Double Discovery Center and as an editor at the Columbia Daily Spectator and The Columbia Undergraduate Research Journal. As a tutor, I aim to be organized, clear, concise, and patient. I'm looking forward to working with you!

College Essays Tutor • +28 Subjects

It goes without saying that being an effective tutor requires a firm grasp of the subject and the ability to explain complex ideas in clear and intuitive ways. However, as I have learned during my years of tutoring experience, a good educator also needs to have the ability to engage pupils and to give them the tools that they need to succeed on their own. This means not only teaching students the material, but also familiarizing them with effective learning strategies and helping them develop strong study skills--all in a way that is supportive and which capitalizes on their existing strengths.I tutor at the middle school, high school, and college levels. My primary focus is on verbal subjects, including critical reading, essay-writing, and SAT/GRE prep. I aim to help students develop the strong language and analytical skills that they need to excel in these areas. In addition, I offer math and German-language tutoring.

Michael

ACT Writing Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am currently a fourth year medical student at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, and graduated Suma Cum Laude from Yeshiva College with a BA in Biology and Music. As a Writing Center tutor, I worked with undergraduate and graduate students looking to improve their writing, and have also tutored Regents-level biology and chemistry. Most recently, I tutored for Kaplan, teaching an MCAT preparatory course and working one-on-one with students. When not studying, I like to ride my bike, train Taekwondo, play blues guitar (or bass, or piano, or saxophone, or drums), and read a good book.My tutoring philosophy is one of individualized attention and goal setting, where the tutor and the student work together to set realistic goals, and then identify the roadblocks preventing the student from achieving his or her goal. We then work together to surmount these obstacles, allowing the student to actualize his or her goal. I also try to identify the source of a student's obstacles, and work to solve these fundamental issues as well. I am a big believer in teaching someone how to learn, not just teaching material.

Chanel

AP Psychology Tutor • +22 Subjects

I had the privilege of attending Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff in order to obtain my Master's degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in teaching. During the past two years, I have spent time developing my teaching and tutoring skills. I have taught several college courses and loved every minute of it. I was also able to spend two years as a private tutor, providing one-on-one assistance with writing and test taking preparation for a college student in Psychology. I am also my little sister???s unofficial Spanish tutor ??? she is a high school student currently taking Spanish 2. She likes the extra help from time to time, and I love practicing my Spanish (as well as the valuable time I get to spend with my sister!).As a tutor, I am professional yet approachable and easy to talk to. I think it is important to be able to have a level of comfort in a tutoring relationship, and in this way learning thrives.My tutoring philosophy consists of two major elements: Communication and productivity. It is important to me that the student is able to express his or her thoughts freely, and that each session is enjoyable. Sessions should also be productive ??? each meeting is worthwhile and things get done. To optimize learning, the student should play an active role in the learning process. This enhances learning by allowing the students themselves the opportunity to strengthen the connections in the brain that produce learning.When I am not perfecting my tutoring skills, I find myself involved in music in some way. I play the drums and have been playing for ten years. I also like to play the piano, guitar, or any instrument I can get my hands on. Music is a big part of who I am. I would be happy to recommend Spanish musicians to any Spanish-learning students who share a love of music as well!I best like spending my time talking and getting to know people ??? every person in this world has something unique and interesting to offer. Tutoring is a wonderful opportunity to do just that!

Julie

College English Tutor • +15 Subjects

I graduated from the University of Washington with a degree in Linguistics, hold a certificate in TEFL, and will begin work on a master's degree in English this fall. I have more than ten years of experience teaching and tutoring students in composition, literature, grammar, and ESL. I am passionate about helping students succeed and develop lifetime love of learning. By evaluating areas of student weakness and creating a clear plan to strengthen these areas, I have seen my students grow dramatically in both their skills and confidence. I worked extensively with curriculum development and teacher training in an English-speaking K-12 school in Indonesia, which grew to more than 600 students and received international accreditation in less than ten years. I have visited many countries in Southeast Asia. Besides traveling and spending time with family and friends, I enjoy running, gardening, and playing the piano and flute.
