I am a Penn State Graduate (B.S.) and am currently a student at Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Jefferson University. My goal as a tutor is to help make the subjects I love approachable to other students, and to teach the study techniques that have served me well in school. I have tutored people in Biology, Physiology, general and Organic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Writing proficiency, and Physics. I also teach SHSAT prep to 7th graders. I am qualified to teach strategy and content for the SAT and MCAT, as well as high school Science, Writing, and Math classes. My greatest strength as a tutor is my ability to simplify abstract concepts using analogies and real-life comparisons so that anybody can learn them. Showing students how their studies relate to the rest of the world is the best way to create long term interest and understanding. My main focus is typically "teaching toward the test," as making sure my students get the grades they need is always the priority.

I'm a current sophomore at Rice University studying Economics and Data Science. I'm an avid learner and am interested in anything from politics and foreign affairs to the technological capabilities we currently harness to solve big social issues (data-related or not). I've worked in both bioengineering-oriented lab settings as well as Model UN; I think this has offered me a unique way to study the world around me in an interdisciplinary manner. I'm excited to work with you all!I specialize in tutoring the following subjects: English/writing, math (anywhere from Pre-Algebra to Calculus I), economics, and elementary chemistry and physics.

I am a firm believer in the concept of self-directed learning. To me, learning is not about memorizing facts and numbers (although I do love facts) but about creating your own experience. Learning truly becomes passion when it asks as much from the student as it gives back. My role as a tutor is to be a collaborator. I am here to challenge and help, but I am not here to direct the learning. That must come from the student. I truly believe that this approach leads to more passionate and better students.I am a professional improv coach and performer as well. I feel those skills help me be a better tutor. Flexibility is important in maximizing a students potential. I am also obsessed with historical non-fiction. I can talk history for hours.

I have worked as an elementary school teacher for 6 years. I have also tutored and substitute taught in middle and high school. I have also run a theater program and directed four different productions. I have a warm, enthusiastic, upbeat personality, and consistently hear from my students how much they love having me as a teacher.I am extremely organized, initiative driven, and creative. I enjoy creating meaningful and differentiated lessons that motivate and engage students. I am constantly reflecting upon my practice and striving to foster a life-long love of learning within my students. I am a firm believer in hands-on, active learning done at a child's pace, allowing them to gain mastery of the skills and gain an independent sense of understanding. I truly feel the more a child is able to create and understand his/her own experiences, the more motivated they become, and ultimately the more they learn.I believe that teaching is multidimensional and multicultural, and I have a strong commitment to diversity, equity, and mutual respect. I feel it is important to expect the most from all of one's students and hold them all to the highest standards, but I also respect all of their different ways of exhibiting excellence. Not all children learn in the same ways, so it is the teacher's responsibility to know their students and provide dynamic, multi-dimensional learning opportunities that allow all of the learners to be successful. I also believe its extremely important to create a comfortable open rapport between the teacher, student(s), and parent(s) that assists children in feeling supported while they work to maximize their own potential.I love teaching and helping students learn and grow!

Studying for all of this at once can be annoying. However, it can be fun if you let it. That doesn't mean it won't be work to master the topics BUT it means that it doesn't have to be painful.I spent my college career studying many topics. In undergrad, I minored in Computer Science and majored in Cinema Studies. Essentially, I love math and science but am also a very artistic person (and I really love film). To drive that home, my MFA is in Film Production. Both degrees were obtained from NYU. I received a 1550 on my SAT when it was out of 1600.My education career has been in the arts. I taught Editing at New York Film Academy and was the Chair of Post Production there as well. Throughout all of this, I have always kept my math and science skills sharp, mostly because I just love the subjects.

I've attended Indiana Institute of Technology where I earned 100 credits with the major of Computer Science and minor in Information Systems. I transferred to Chicago State University where i changed my major to Business. During this time, I was involved in a car accident which caused my paralysis. I continued my education at Chicago State after my accident and received my Bachelors of Science degree in Business. Acquired skills in English Composition and Communications earning As in both English Composition 1&2 and CMAT speech.

As a tutor, I have found that every student has a unique style of learning, so careful listening is one of the most important steps towards effective teaching. In fact, I believe it is the responsibility of a good tutor to adapt every lesson to the individual needs and interests of her students. I am fortunate to have studied extensively within my chosen academic fields, but as a tutor, I have found that my most valuable skills are my ability to keep an open mind, to listen patiently, and to communicate clearly. It is my goal to empower students by teaching to their own personal strengths, thus fostering a love of learning that will carry them beyond our tutoring sessions and into the rest of their academic career.A little bit about me: I graduated cum laude from Colby College in May 2015 with an honors degree in History. My coursework within my major was concentrated in both Middle Eastern and U.S. History. In my senior year at Colby, I wrote my thesis on imperialism in the Middle East during the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly focusing the First World War and its aftermath in the region. I received several competitive grants to conduct primary research in London and Oxford archives for this project, including the prestigious Goldfarb Center's student research fellowship. Once completed, my thesis was granted the award for the best senior essay in History that year. Additionally, I won Colby's annual prize for the best History student both my junior and senior year. I owe much of my academic success to my incomparable professors/mentors/advisors within the History Department, and now, as a tutor, I strive to provide the same level of enthusiastic support and encouragement to my own students.Beyond my history studies, I spent a semester during college at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, allowing me to develop my deep understanding of both French language and culture. While on Colby's campus, I spent much of my spare time working as an assistant to one of my professors on his manuscript, as both an editor and a researcher. During my spare time, I sang in the chamber choir, cooked, wrote poetry, and read (too many favorite books to count, but right up there are Brideshead Revisited, Persuasion, and Love in the Time of Cholera). Since moving to New York, I've added yoga to my hobbies roster. Now, I work with several of the best-rated tutoring agencies in New York City - and I would be thrilled to work with you to unlock your full academic potential, and help to make learning the fun and empowering experience it should be!

I am a New York State teacher certified in Elementary Education, Spanish and ESL. I received my Bachelor's degree from State University of New York, Cortland, and my Master's degree from Adelphi University. I have been teaching and tutoring for over 8 years for children, adolescents and adults. Besides being bilingual in Spanish, I am also conversational in Italian. I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I even had the unique opportunity to study abroad in Venezuela. I enjoy helping students achieve their best and have fun in the process. I have always believed in making lessons interesting. I have achieved this by using games, songs and manipulatives to enhance instruction. In my free time, I like to read, spend time with my dog and do yoga.

I am a graduate of the arts management master’s program at George Mason University and winner of the Capstone of the Year award for excellence in research, writing, and presentation of the capstone thesis project. I have a history of working in accessibility and research in the arts and am interested in creating dialogues on the ways in which the arts—and the ways our businesses and government support the arts—are an essential component of our everyday lives. To quote Jane Chu, “Although many may not realize it, the arts actively intersect with areas such as the economy, human development, and community vitality. The arts and artists are an integral part of the solution to the challenges we face in all parts of our society.”I am also interested in international arts policy, having visited over 25 countries while living and working abroad for more than four years. I am passionate about exploring the ways that the arts can unite disparate cultures and communities.I previously served with AmeriCorps*National Civilian Community Corps: Southwest Region, focusing on disaster relief and community development, and later spent three years working internationally with underserved students.

Hello! I am currently a graduate level student that will begin work towards my Human Health and Environmental Systems MPH at Oregon Health and Science University in the fall. I held my first tutoring job in high school, where I spent after school and summers working with local elementary school students on reading, writing, and math skills. I loved the rare chance to see the look on a child's face when a tricky concept they had been struggling with suddenly made sense.More recently, I have been working at the Washington State University Vancouver Writing Center. There I did both face-to-face and online consultations with students about pieces of their writing. We would discuss the papers ideas, argument, organization, flow, grammar mechanics, and citation style. When working with papers, I follow strategies that we were taught to use at the writing center, which include reading papers out loud to help find problematic sentences, doing reverse outlines to check the organization and effectiveness of the papers argument, and teaching the sandwich method of using quotes to help students avoid overusing other people's words.My favorite concept to explain from my time working at the writing center is how to use semicolons! Many people are both confused and scared by that particular piece of punctuation, but it's actually fairly simple to get the hang of if explained in plain language (rather than what I think of as 'grammar language'). I always enjoyed having regulars that came in stop me to show off their effective use of a semi-colon in a paper, when they have previously been too uncomfortable to use it.While I have not previously tutored in sciences or standardized testing, I am very knowledgable in the sciences due to my degree in Environmental Science and can share testing strategies that help avoid making mistakes and falling for trick questions. I believe a tutoring session should be a discussion, rather any type of lecture, where you should feel comfortable enough to ask questions or let me know if something isn't working. Personally, I struggle in math and never thought I would be able to get a degree that requires the math skills that my BS did and MPH will. However, I now believe that anyone can succeed in any subject, as long as the information is presented in ways that they can understand and they put in the hard work needed to make success happen.
