Hi! My name is Teffie Palacio and I'm a tutor for all ages and subjects. I'm currently a graduate student working on my Master's in English where I study poetry. I've been a tutor for 4 years in college settings, but also working with children and young adults. I worked as a college writing center tutor during my time in undergrad. After graduation, I worked as a private tutor with a fourth grade girl and a middle school boy--we worked on English, Math, Science, and Social Studies together, working from the Common Core curriculum. I believe in giving positive and constructive criticism, preferring a laid back approach to tutoring where we work as a team. I am extremely patient and easygoing.

I am a NY State/ Maryland Certified teacher. I received my Bachelor of Science In Childhood and Special Education (Grades 1-6) from State University of New York at Geneseo and a Master of Arts In International Education from New York University. I have had teaching experience in kindergarten through third grade both in the United States and as a student teacher in Thailand. For the past two years, I have taught second grade in Maryland. I enjoy supporting elementary students in developing a love for learning, inquiry and discovery in math, reading, writing, science and social studies. I believe that students are best engaged when the learning is individualized to their specific interests and needs. My teaching style focuses on providing hands on learning experiences and game based opportunities for students. During learning experiences, I gradually release responsibility to students to provide the right balance of support and challenge for the learner.

I am a recent graduate of Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio holding a BA in Drama and Chinese Area Studies. I come from a family of creative educators. I have experience teaching and mentoring writing, reading, Chinese language, and English language immersion for native Chinese speakers. I love working one-on-one with young people to develop their academic skills while also giving them an example of supportive interpersonal interaction.

I am a graduate of the University of Texas-Arlington. I was fifteen when I began my studies there; and, after changing majors, I received BS degrees in both Physics and Biology. I then received a Doctor of Osteopathy degree from the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine and completed my residency in New York City. Although I primarily tutor math and science subjects, I have a broad range of interests including sports, music, art, literature, history, movies, and even television shows. In addition to extensive personal travel in both the United States and abroad, I was an exchange student at Sheffield University in England during college. All of these experiences have provided me with many opportunities to learn about and form friendships with people from many different backgrounds and cultures. As a tutor, I try to use my experiences and areas of interest to find common ground with students and tailor my style and methods to their unique individual needs.

Hi there! My name is Emmanuel Zavaleta and I am a recent graduate from New York University. I have always had a passion for working with young children especially when it comes to education. I am big when it comes to listening and making sure everyone is listened to. Some subjects are harder than others for everyone and my job is to make sure I can simplify it and take as much time as someone needs to process the information.

My name is Michelle, I am 26 years of age, and I am currently a Police Officer in the State of Florida. I enjoy helping our younger generation gain more knowledge that will increase their education to help them reach their ultimate goals in life. I am fun, self-motivated, and enjoy making the best of every situation unique to each of my students.

I began tutoring as a volunteer assignment in high school, later being promoted to an advisory block teacher my senior year. While a student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, I continued to tutor other students, mainly in physics and mathematics. Eventually, this lead me to a position as a TA and lab technician in Phys 406: Physics of Music Lab. In total, I have tutored for about 8 years.My favorite facet of tutoring is exploring the different ways in which students learn a topic. An explanation that resonates with 90% of students, may not clarify things for the other 10%. Part of being a good tutor requires me to identify many alternate routes to explanation, should the more common ones not work well. This interests me greatly, as it broadens my own understanding of the topics in math and physics I find so interesting. An added bonus is being able to help someone meet their classroom goals.I recently earned a B. S. in Physics with Distinction in the Curriculum from U of I at Urbana-Champaign with a Minor in Mathematics. I also took enough math courses out of my own interest that I was a mere 12 hours away from completing a double degree in Mathematics. Students preparing for AP examinations may want to know I received a 4 in AP Physics B, a 5 in AP Calculus BC (5 in the AB subscore), and a 5 in AP Chemistry.

I live in Indiana. My educational background has given me a passion for helping students learn. I have a Bachelor of Science degree from Ball State University. In addition, I have both the TESOL and TEFL certifications. My educational experience comes from both tutoring and teaching in virtual environments. I have several years of experience teaching English as a Second Language (ESL). In addition, I have worked as a learning coach for online students using the various learning platforms. I have worked with Pre-K students through high school students. I love teaching and understand the importance of adapting to the students' learning style. I realize that students are unique individuals. Thus, I like to use a variety of strategies to help my students so they may better understand the concepts they are being taught. I especially love teaching English and Math students as these are my areas of expertise. In order for my students to learn as much as possible, I try to make my sessions engaging and fun.Interests and Hobbies: When I am not teaching or tutoring I love spending time with my family and our horses.

Learning is one of the most rewarding experiences in life, so I'm passionate about helping people a discover that experience. I've worked in various teaching-related roles for the past 4 years, between summer camps and volunteering at after school programs. I've tutored for 3 semesters at Northeastern in Algebra 2, Pre-calc, and Intro levels of Macro and Micro economics.I absolutely love tutoring math, seeing homework problems get completed is incredibly satisfying. More importantly, learning to think through a problem critically and really understand why your answer is right is a very important skill that applies to all problem solving in any phase of life. The reason I've chosen to study Finance and Economics is to apply that same critical thinking to bigger/more applied situations such as running a successful business and developing economic policy.My tutoring style is very conversational. It's important for me to identify what a student understands and what they don't, from there I work to outline the reasoning that goes into finding the right answer. I'm here to guide a student, and empower them to perform the same sort of critical thinking on problems they face in the future.

I recently graduated from Babson College with a bachelor's in Science. I was born in the Dominican Republic. I moved to the United States when I was eight years. Throughout my education career, I worked in a variety of different fields. The one thing that remained the same for me, was my mission to help others.I enjoy helping others because seeing them happy, makes me happy. In high school, I decided to run my own tutoring services, where I helped middle schoolers with their language levels, both English and Spanish. I also tutored in the math field. When it came to Algebra, I also frequently tutored my high school friends. One efficient strategy that worked for me was having the person I tutored, tutor me back. Having them teach me how to solve a problem, or how to pronounce or say something correctly, showed me if they learned something, or were still confused.I consider myself to be an outgoing person. Someone who likes to meet new people. I also liked solving problems. Combining these two, was where my passion for teaching began. When I was younger, I wanted to be a math teacher. It was something about standing next to the board and pointing out the series of steps I took in order to get to the correct answer.Enough said about me. I am here to serve as a resource. I can help you with Spanish, English, Algebra, Math, and many other subjects. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me :)
