I am committed to helping all children achieve the highest levels in reading with hard work and engaging and carefully planned lessons.

I'm an incoming graduate student at Columbia University, originally from New Jersey. I speak English and Spanish fluently. In my 5 years of teaching experience, I have taught English, Spanish and Math to a diverse range of students, including young children ranging from 3 to 12 years of age, high school students and adults, from the United States, Latin America and Asia. I have experience with one-on-one lessons (both online and in-person) and with groups in a classroom setting. Because of my di...More

I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students.

I am currently a rising 4th-year medical student. I have my B.S. in Biology with a concentration in Neuroscience, and an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I have experience tutoring at the undergraduate and graduate levels. I spent a year teaching math and science for a non-profit organization so I have experience with younger age groups as well. I have a great love for the sciences and look forward to working with you.

I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to a subject rather than learning it, and inevitably end up failing when they are required to utilize the knowledge in future, more advanced work. In my experience, proper explanations toward...More

I am a big supporter of metacognition. It can be defined as "thinking about thinking." Good readers use metacognitive strategies to think about and have control over their reading. Graphic and semantic organizers are also effective. Answering and generating questions. Modeling or demonstrating, how to apply the strategy, usually by "thinking aloud" while reading the text that the students are using. Guided practice is also a plus. I would guide and assist students as they learn how and when to a...More

I'm currently a senior at Stevens Institute of Technology finishing my Bachelor and Master of Civil Engineering. I've worked as a tutor for 3 years in a variety of math and science based courses.

I am the oldest child and I have 2 younger siblings who I teach everything I learn. We are older now, so I do not get as much time to hang out with them as they are onto their own schooling and work. I graduated undergrad with a BA in Psychology and Minor in Business. I love the sciences as I think it is fascinating what we and the world are made of, and to learn about these things, gives us a better understanding of who we are and where we are headed. I also spent a few years working as an acco...More
