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 a graduate of Penn State University. I received a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Resource Management with a double minor in Wildlife and Fisheries Science and in Watershed and Water Resources. Through this degree, I developed extensive knowledge and experience in the sciences, particularly in Environmental Science. I also had the opportunity to fine-tune my writing and grammar skills, two areas in which I feel I am naturally proficient. Throughout high school and college I was my frie...More

I am a graduate of Deep Springs College: an elite liberal arts program located in Eastern California. Unlike most schools, the admission process to Deep Springs involves writing - and later defending before a panel of staff, faculty and students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write s...More

I am from Buffalo NY. I have an associates degree and I am currently working on my bachelors degree in Early Childhood and Elementary Education. My goal is to make students successful in school, while making a tutoring session enjoyable and not stressful. I hope I can help make an impact and help you improve in a strategy.

I'm big on pictures and diagrams as educational tools. If you can draw a picture to describe a cellular or bodily process, you will be likely to be able to answer a written question about it.

I am looking forward to working with students again! I was a teacher/tutor for several years before beginning my family 2 years ago. My husband and I recently had twin girls and then a little boy so I have taken a break from the 9-5 scene for a bit. I miss teaching and working with students and I am excited to get back into the world of education. Helping students understand different topics in math (specifically) is my passion and I look forward to working with new students to help them gain co...More

I am a current Dietetics student, Dietitian Education Program intern, and 4+1 student pursuing a Master's of Adult Education. So far at Buffalo state, I have become the treasurer of both the Nutrition Club and the Rotaract Club. I also earned an award this Spring for my 300 community service hours. In my early twenties, I started a business painting cars out of the back of my SUV. I feel it is a great outlet to be creative and work independently but I crave the mental stimulation of academia and...More
