I am currently doing cancer research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a student I was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude. Instead of boring memorization, I like to look for patterns and think of creative approaches to study subjects that can otherwise be very frustrating. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence and to think of creative approaches to subj...More

I am never happier than when I am teaching. Whether it's helping a student through a difficult literary passage, reviewing the importance of grammar and mechanics, revising a writing assignment, or discussing philosophy, helping students achieve their dreams is always an uplifting and inspiring experience. But aside from the personal satisfaction I feel when I teach, I always ensure that my student comes away from a session a more confident, inquisitive, patient, articulate, and motivated indivi...More

I am majoring in Dramatic Writing at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, and minoring in education. While I tutor in a wide range of subjects, I particularly have a passion for reading, writing, essay prep, and theater. I am an enthusiastic and involved teacher, and believe that learning should be fun and interactive. I believe everyone has their own unique way of learning, and I work hard to find what each individual student needs to stay motivated and confident in their studies. I am very skilled ...More

I am not solely experienced in teaching children the English language but the subject of English as well. I also have a background in French. I love children of all ages and I am certified by NYC DOE to teach K-12. I am currently attending City College to get my Masters in Education. I would be seeking work for the summer months. That was a mouthful, message me if you have any questions!

I am a rising senior at Yale University, where I am pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Music. I work with students on their essays as a writing partner at the Yale College Writing Center. As a songwriter, I am passionate about word choice, structure, and specificity. I bring the joy I find in language to helping students work on their writing and prepare for standardized tests. Outside of class, I enjoy singing, arranging, and teaching a cappella music, in both rehearsal and workshop settings, worki...More

I'm now doing graduate work. I'm available as a tutor for English and History/Social Studies up through the high school level including coursework, Regents exams, and AP tests. I also tutor students in preparation for standardized tests including the SAT, ACT, SSAT, and PSAT.

I've tutored both small groups and individuals for four years, working with students a...More

I am patient, reliable, and good at simplifying and explaining complex ideas. I love teaching and helping people to learn. I graduated with a degree in Spanish from Duke University and also hold a master's in International Relations from NYU.

I'm committed to awakening and strengthening that same passion in my students through an emphasis on creative expression and a fun, but rigorous, approach to essay writing. Often the hardest thing for a young writer is forming a unique point of view on a prescribed prompt or topic, especially one that may seem less than relevant to their own life. My goal is to do just that: rouse their natural enthusiasm for a subject and help them support it with evidence that's laid out in a compelling, causa...More

I am passionate about learning, the arts, traveling, telling stories, and sharing experiences. I have a B.A. in Drama and Italian from Vassar College, where I graduated with general and departmental honors. As a Drama major, I focused on directing and dabbled in writing, performing, and costuming as well. As an Italian major, I spent a semester studying at the University of Bologna, completed a translation for my thesis, and worked as a drill instructor for first-year students. After graduating ...More

I am currently working at City Year New York and am tutoring 6th and 7th graders in English and math. I have a lot of experience tutoring and making learning fun for students of all ages! I love relating academics to the real world. Not only can math be exciting (who doesn't love fractions?!), but I know from personal experience that math is absolutely necessary if you want to learn how to budget your money so that you can live in your own apartment or travel across Europe for three months. My g...More
