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'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'm currently an MA student in French at Middlebury College, after graduating with my BA from Barnard College at Columbia University in 2014. Overseas, I spent a year at the Sorbonne-Paris. I'm a passionate, patient tutor of both English and French with four years of experience. In both languages, I focus on grammar skills, essay writing, and standardized test preparation, especially the SAT and SAT II. I most often tutor high school and college students, but have found that young children are a...More

I'm an adjunct English professor at Fordham University, and I have my MFA in Young Adult Literature from The New School. I love helping students develop their own writing voice and teaching them the kind of writing skills that can help them on the SATs and beyond. I have experience working with middle, high school and college students on SAT prep, college writing and creative writing. When I'm not teaching, I'm a young adult writer and I enjoy taking dance classes, doing improv and sketch comedy...More

I am a Psychology Major at St. John's University.

I am very analytical and excel at identifying areas of concern and producing interest...More

I am a graduate of The University of the West Indies. I received my Bachelor of Law in 2021 and am currently an Attorney-in-waiting to be called to the Jamaican Bar. I am passionate about helping students to ensure they are not left behind along with the satisfaction of ensuring they achieve their academic goals. This passion was exemplified when I was tutoring 11 and 12 graders and they achieved top 10 national rankings . These subjects include history and social studies. I also help and maximi...More

I am best at helping my students take their academics to the next level in reading, writing, and essay composition. One of the biggest hurdles in writing is getting past writer's block and crafting a unique composition; I help students through that by breaking down the process into easy, digestible steps. Once the anxiety and trepidation is gone, writing becomes fun.

I am now a playwriting MFA at NYU, one of the best programs in the country (the story of how I transitioned from physics to theater is pretty funny and I???m happy to share it). While my intensive study of advanced Math and Physics helps me tutor those subjects, I find my theater skills are just as valuable to effective teaching. As a playwright, I have learned to explain ideas efficiently, inspire excitement, and connect with an audience. Using these techniques, I hope to make my students not o...More

I am persistent and I will always try to give you extra help outside of class if it's needed. Being able to help someone, sharing knowledge with an individual and seeing the progress made by my students make me love tutoring.

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University currently working as a freelance writer and tutor while also maintaining a part-time job as a foreign sub-editor at "The Viet Nam News" as a Princeton in Asia fellow.
