Katherine

Adobe Illustrator Tutor • +66 Subjects

My goal is to help students develop their artistic skills and knowledge in drawing and animation. I want to both help those who have a set goal they want to achieve, and motivate students to get creative and have fun.For a typical lesson, I start with asking the student about their interests, what they expect to learn from the class, and what they would like to know more about. I teach using power point presentations, sometimes video examples or references, and sometimes I will do a live demo or tutorial that would go along with an assignment. I have worked with students from a variety of age groups (between Kindergarten-Undergraduate students), as well as students with special needs.The following is a list of skills and computer programs I specialize in:- 3D/2D animation: modeling, rigging, animating, rendering, lighting, compositing, video editing, audio editing- Drawing: Digital and traditional art, character design, drawing from life, background design, storyboarding, digital painting- Computer Programs: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Suite, Autodesk Maya, Autodesk MudboxMisc: embroidery, film study, English literature, spelling and grammar, writing,

Vincent

Accounting Tutor • +10 Subjects

I received my BS from NYU in General Business and my Masters in International Marketing from NYU Stern. I have taken additional graduate level accounting courses and successfully completed 5 courses towards my teaching certificate at Felician. I have tutored English for Literacy Volunteers, trained bookkeeper and salespeople on the job. I have done some substitute teaching and have taught public speaking and leadership to the Jaycees.Currently I am tutoring ESL, reading and accounting. My favorite of these subjects is English and then reading. I emphasize how one has to have the vocabulary and how to use it. When someone doesn't understand me it is usually because I have not explained myself or because I failed to observe that the other person didn't register my message.I'll be there for you. We'll work together according to your learning style. I want you to feel comfortable and enjoy our sessions. Most of all I want you to succeed in your studies and in life. By the way, I am not overly serious and like to create a relaxed but effective atmosphere. A few laughs are helpful.I've tutored and trained individuals from ten to fifty years of age, based on a broad philosophic focus. Knowledge is the key to financial success and personal achievement in life. I, as the educator, must relate the subject to the widest possible context, making the subject more meaningful and useful. I must be patient and supportive. I must encourage and inspire. I must turn ambivalence and tolerance for learning into appreciation. And where there is an absolute dislike for a subject I must strive for appreciation or at least tolerance for it.In short, I endeavor to do more than just tutor subject knowledge. My reward is always a great sense of satisfaction.

Angela

College English Tutor • +22 Subjects

I graduated from Stanford University in 2013 with a BA in Human Biology and a minor in Political Science. Throughout high school and college, I tutored students ranging from age 4 to age 18 for several organizations. This provided me with a wide variety of material, lesson plans, and experiences that motivated me to work as a full-time AmeriCorps tutor in a public school in Chicago following graduation. I spent this year tutoring and mentoring fifth graders, providing whole classroom support and leading small group pull-outs. I also led an after school program focusing on homework help and Common Core skills for fifth and sixth grade. I have a deep understanding of the Common Core in both English Language Arts and Math and of what students are expected to learn in the classrooms. Most importantly, I have a passion for tutoring and building up skills that enable students to become successful in and out of the classroom. I love individual tutoring because I love customizing lessons to appeal to the student's interests. I believe in leading tutoring sessions with enthusiasm, positivity, and patience. I am currently in the second year of my Master's in Social Work program at Boston University.

Joshua

Algebra Tutor • +57 Subjects

I received my degree in Business Management from Stony Brook University in 2013. I started tutoring friends and classmates throughout middle and high school, as well as student taught math classes after finishing the curriculum early and excelling on the Regents exams.I love tutoring in math and science, but also enjoy helping students understand context and better express their ideas in writing and history.I especially enjoy tutoring in math because it brings me great joy when a student masters a concept with which they were previously struggling.I also excel at helping students study and prepare for exams because I help them develop better study habits, as opposed to simply cramming to do well on a single exam.I have a passion to motivate students to achieve their full potential. More than raising test scores, I help each student gain more confidence in their own abilities and increase their proficiency in understanding with context, rather than simply memorizing facts or formulas. I adapt my teaching style to the particular needs of each student, with the objective of guiding students in becoming more capable overall, through practice in sharpening their strengths and overcoming their weaknesses.My hobbies include video games, snowboarding, singing/music, working out/exercise, and doing Tough Mudder! I love doing Tough Mudder because it is both individually challenging, as well as being very team-oriented. This allows me to personally challenge my own limits while also helping others to do the same!
