Tim

Advanced Placement Prep Tutor • +24 Subjects

I studied Philosophy and Theatre at the College of Wooster in Ohio and then studied Education at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland where I got my MS. I love tutoring all subjects but am particularly drawn to SAT prep because I know how much just a little extra help can boost a score. I had a great SAT prep tutor when I was in high school, and even though I only met with him twice, my score went up significantly! I love teaching and have over two years of classroom experience. I love to read and believe that through reading, one can improve every aspect of one's life, and I mean that genuinely. I hope to inspire students to continue to read and write as a means to become a great person. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy performing in improv comedy shows, acting, exploring the city, and playing board games.

Gary

College English Tutor • +6 Subjects

Before embarking on my first overseas teaching job, my Mom looked at me and said, "You're the right person for this." Thus began a journey of teaching, learning and global discovery that was to shape the person I am today. I get back so much more than I give, and I give a tremendous amount, making sure my students get what they need, and more. Tutoring provides a more personal approach to education, in the spirit of friendliness, sharing and the broadening of horizons.

Silvy

Medicine Tutor • +7 Subjects

I am a Registered Nurse who graduated from an ABSN program in 2021. I would describe myself as extroverted/talkative! I love getting to know others through tutoring while keeping the energy light hearted as well. I believe that it is important to learn in a way that is enjoyable rather than a way that is forced. I have an additional B.S. in Biology. I graduated in the top 10% of my accelerated nursing program and I am extremely passionate about nursing. My first experience as a tutor was when I was 12 years old. I tutored students in my community who needed help with their school work. As I got older, my passion for tutoring continued to grow. I served as a tutor in school and free lanced tutored in my community. Throughout my nursing program, I served as a tutor. I tutored and continue to tutor in a wide variety of nursing subjects (Health Assessment, Nursing Fundamentals, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, Med Surg I & II, Mental Health, Pediatrics, Maternal/OB-GYN, NCLEX prep, etc.) While I was a tutor, I really refined my teaching skills and strategies to best maximize my students learning experience. My tutoring/teaching philosophy is to curate my lesson plans to based on students learning/study patterns. My 10+ years of tutoring and has taught me how to succeed with many students who all have different learning styles and needs.

Veronica

ACT Prep Tutor • +38 Subjects

I am an all-ages tutor with over six years of experience. Most prominently, I’ve tutored in math (K thru Pre-Calc), science (K thru High School -- biology, psychology, chemistry, physics), and English (all ages and grade levels -- literature, composition. reading skills, writing, essay editing, etc). I deeply enjoy working with children and adolescents, and work consciously to target my level of interaction and explanation to many different ages. Years of experience as the oldest cousin on both sides of my family, has given me a fine-tuned ability to encourage and engage in age-appropriate playfulness and positivity, while maintaining a firm grasp on responsibility for the task at hand.I love helping others learn, have a great deal of patience, a sharp editor's eye, and a treasure trove of study tricks and organizational tools. I have participated in multiple courses related to childhood learning and development and approaches to tutoring, and have a number of different approaches in my teaching tool-belt. Most often, I like to take an approach to teaching that focuses on deep understanding of the subject material. I seek to build a solid foundation for grasping the material, based upon each student’s particular background, interests, and approach to learning. I also really like to make learning fun! I think there are so many ways one can approach any subject, and spend a great deal of time trying to help my students figure out which approach may be most positive and exciting for them.I graduated from Oberlin College in 2014, receiving a Neuroscience B.A. with High Honors, and worked for the past two years as a scientific researcher in a lab at Harvard University. I have been involved in scientific research for many years, and authored multiple publications. In addition to my technical work, I have worked as a research mentor for local high school students, taught an elective course on reading and analyzing scientific papers, and was employed by the Oberlin Dean of Students as a mentor for incoming freshman. As a result, I have a deep passion for explaining confusing and complicated concepts, and working to teach to the individual student’s needs and interests.In addition to my scientific work, I have been heavily involved in writing for many years. In high school, I was the News Editor and Managing Editor of the school newspaper. During college, I wrote for multiple publications, and was a copy editor at the Oberlin Review, as well as a co-founder and Editor-in-Chief of Oberlin’s popular science magazine. As a result, I have many years under my belt serving as a grammar and content editor -- which involves not only correcting others’ work, but working over long periods of time with writers to begin, create, and shape pieces of which they can be proud.

Amanda

Algebra Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I doubled majored in both Applied Mathematics and Psychology. I started my journey of tutoring when I was in high school. During my high school years, I started as a volunteer at a tutoring center assisting Kindergarten kids to 3rd graders with Math, English, and Art. Slowly, I became an afterschool tutor and loved the fulfilling feeling after seeing my student's betterment. Moving on to college, I carried on that passion for tutoring and become a Teacher Assistant for both Multivariable Calculus and Financial Mathematics classes to help my peers with their questions on class materials. After graduating from college, I helped my friend in prepping for her GRE because I wanted her to study more effectively for the test instead of wasting time trying out different studying techniques and various test prep materials.While I tutored a broad range of subjects, I am the most passionate about tutoring math as I have firm confidence in my knowledge of mathematics, and I mostly helped students with their math courses. During my tutoring experiences, I am a tutor who likes to utilize examples and real-life scenarios in my explanation.

I've been tutoring full time since graduating from Columbia in 2015. I've worked at a variety of agencies including Genius Prep, Gooroo, Parliament, The Study Shack, All Ivy Tutors, and The Cambridge Institute.English: I love tutoring English and writing. I've worked on dozens of high school essays (and a few college ones as well)everything from computer coding to Shakespeare to Jewish history. I've also helped students write high school and college application essays that have landed them in elite schools such as Beacon and Brooklyn Tech. When I'm not tutoring, I spend 4-8 hours a day writing a novel so this is my element!Test Prep: I've had extensive experience tutoring test prep. I've taught group SAT Verbal courses and 1-on-1 sessions. I know the redesigned SAT format inside and out and I've helped students break 1500. I've also taught the SHSAT, SSAT, and ISEE (middle level verbal and quantitative; upper level verbal); ACT (verbal); and English Regents. I can also tutor SAT subject tests and AP tests (I got five 5's myself, back in the day).French and ESL: I've taught ESL to students from a wide range of backgrounds at tutoring agencies as well as at the Mohawk Valley Resource Center for Refugees. I understand language acquisition from a global perspective. I lived in France for five years and studied philosophy for the French Baccalaurat. I've tutored many students in written and conversational French.History: I've tutored several students in U.S. History, from grades 6 through 11. Success stories include helping an exchange student go from failing a course to passing in 3 weeks.Film and Art: What I got a college education for! I've been making movies and working on sets since I was 13. I've had experience tutoring it as well. I taught a cinematography class to middle schoolers as part of Columbia's SPLASH program. I'm also currently helping a student write and shoot a short film. Writing and editing help (Final Cut, Premiere) still works well online with screen-sharing.Learning Differences: I've also tutored several students with learning differences, including ADHD and Autism. I adapt my teaching style to whatever the student's needs may be.

Matt

Algebra Tutor • +28 Subjects

I received my B.A. in Economics and Theatre with a minor in Corporate Strategy from Vanderbilt University. I recently obtained my M.F.A. in Acting from Brown University/Trinity Rep in Providence, Rhode Island, where I also taught undergraduate classes and tutored introductory Economics. Over the past ten years, I have taught additional classes in acting, history, musical theater, and even swimming! It is my experience that all students learn differently, and I enjoy finding with each student the best path for optimal results. Usually this means finding the intersection between the student's own interests and what the material has to offer. Outside of teaching, I enjoy running, yoga, reading, discovering anything at all, and watching the Bulls try valiantly in the NBA. I am also an actor and musician, most recently having performed in Much Ado About Nothing at The Public Theater's Shakespeare in the Park.
