While at Brandeis, I served as a teaching assistant for the introductory organic chemistry course and had the opportunity to closely work with professors to develop teaching plans to lead structured small group learning sessions. I was honored to receive the Emily Dudek Undergraduate Teaching Award for my commitment to my students and their success in the class. Since graduation, I have conducted research in Radiation Oncology at the Massachusetts General Hospital and am pursuing a medical degree. While I come from a science background, I have experience tutoring a broad range of subjects, including English, Math, and Standardized testing.

6+ Years Tutoring

I've been helping students and friends to edit and revise their writing across multiple styles for seven years. Throughout high school, I was part of an exclusive magnet school for creative writing called the Educational Center for the Arts: in the mornings I took core classes (math, science, history, etc) at a public high school, and in the afternoons I attended college-level workshops in fiction, screenplay, memoir, humor, and poetry. There, I learned from published writers and edited fellow students' pieces, including college essays, for four years while developing my own work.In college, I became the opinion section editor of my student newspaper. Last year, I served as its editor in chief. At The Justice, I've applied the skills I learned from creative writing to journalism and op-ed content. I already had experience clarifying sentences, helping writers develop a unique written voice, and keeping writing concise and precise, but through The Justice I learned how to find and support a strong argument, recognize logical fallacies in one's own thinking as well as in others, and conduct thorough, accurate and credible research. I also learned the AP's grammatical style guides inside and out, though remain a devotee of the Oxford comma.While most of my work in tutoring specifically has been with middle and high school-age students, I've also worked with younger students as a summer camp counselor and a teaching assistant. I've also got a strong theater background, both as a performer and a viewer.

A good teacher can make an enormous impact on the life of a student. I have seen this firsthand throughout my life. As a student, I learned how to read and write critically because I had teachers who cared, and who invested themselves in my education. Because of these teachers, I have dedicated myself to the education of others. As a tutor, there is nothing more gratifying than having a student report back that a paper got an A, or that a much-feared test was actually a breeze.My goal as your tutor is to remove the fear and anxiety that may surround a subject, and to place there instead something positive--the love of a book, an appreciation for a well-written paragraph, and the confidence to attack any test or assignment with assurance.I hold my Master's Degree in English Curriculum and Instruction for grades 5-12, and I am well-versed in different teaching methods to ensure that a student who works with me has every chance of success. I think that students learn best when they are interested in a topic; my job as a tutor is to stimulate that interest in any way possible. I will motivate and inspire you to be the best student you can be!

I love making information and knowledge accessible to learners of any age, and I believe students of every age can learn. I am passionate about teaching because there is so much wonderful and fascinating information available to us in any field a student might be interested in, be it math, science, English, American and European history, art, or another field.I received my Bachelor's degree in History from Brandeis University, and my Master's degree in Education from Boston University with a specialty in teaching English as a Second Language. As an ESL teacher, I met students from all over the world, including adult immigrants who were starting new lives in the United States. I also worked with students in every grade level of public school, from kindergarten to 12th grade. It was deeply rewarding to help immigrants to the U.S. learn the English language and adapt to life in their new country. I found that my ongoing curiosity about different fields of study and my knowledge of history made me a better ESL teacher. For example, if I couldn't think of a synonym for a word or concept, I could offer an example from history or art. My ongoing interest in history also helped me establish rapport with my students, as they were pleased that I knew something about their native countries.Many of my students of English as a Second Language had to take the SAT exam, so I branched out into tutoring for that test as well as other standardized tests. I know those tests are challenging, but I have helped quite a number of students improve their scores.Outside of teaching, my interests include classical and world music and dance, including classical forms of dance from India. I also love to cook, and am always trying new recipes. I look forward to meeting more wonderful students as I work for Varsity Tutors.

MS Fordham University • MS Brandeis University
9+ Years Tutoring

I have loved learning for as long as I can remember and truly want every person to experience the same kind of joy and excitement at expanding his or her horizons and tackling new problems that I have. Every student should have the opportunity to feel both successful and challenged, recognizing that an integral part of success is struggle. It is so important to develop and value grit; struggling with a difficult concept or a complex problem is a beneficial process that leads to true learning. Because of this belief, I am enthusiastic about new approaches to mathematics in K-12 education, in particular. In place of rote memorization, Common Core emphasizes creative approaches to problem solving to develop mental math abilities through mathematical thinking and number sense. My strong liberal arts background has also given me great appreciation for and mastery of critical thinking, textual analysis, and articulate writing across subject areas.As a straight-A student my entire life, I hold myself and my students to a very high standard. I care greatly about the details and hold firm that quality always matters. That said, I wholeheartedly believe that learning is a process and perfection does not come without struggle and persistence. Long-term benefit often stems from short-term "failures," so no student should ever feel either discouraged by difficulties or satisfied by ease. As a classroom teacher who works with 27 students daily, I also appreciate that each student is unique, learning through and becoming motivated by different approaches. I love getting to know each of my students to figure out how to give him or her the best learning experience possible, tailored directly to his or her needs. Particularly in the elementary years, emphasis must be placed on a strong foundation of understanding and of learning habits for greater success in the more rigid and demanding high school and college years.I am currently an elementary school teacher, although I have worked with students from early childhood through college. In the past couple of years (including summer), I have taught kindergarten and first, third, and fourth grade. I am completing a Master's degree in education at Fordham as part of my certification in grades 1-6 and have a 4.0 GPA. As an undergraduate, I attended Wellesley College and was cross-registered at MIT. I majored in Jewish studies and minored in history, although I took courses in everything from microeconomics to psychology, and I graduated with a 3.92 GPA. At Wellesley, I worked as a statistics teaching assistant and volunteered as a kindergarten literacy tutor, an early childhood center student teacher, and a college tour guide. I worked as a kindergarten and afterschool teacher at a prestigious private school in Boston after graduation, before returning to school to complete a Master's in Near Eastern and Judaic studies at Brandeis University with a 3.96 GPA. I hope to continue school after completing this second Master's degree because I love education as both a teacher and a student!

Additionally, I frequently traveled to my home country of Sudan, where I volunteered in local hospitals and clinics, shadowing optometrists and other medical professionals. This experience ignited my passion for optometry, leading me to pursue a career as an eye doctor.Alongside my commitment to optometry, I have a strong passion for teaching.

Hannah
BA Brandeis University
2+ Years Tutoring

I am a junior at Brandeis University, majoring in Neuroscience and Biology. I also work for two EMS agencies: Cataldo Ambulance Company and BEMCo, Brandeis' collegiate EMS agency. At BEMCo I am a crew chief and the Director of Operations. I am most passionate about teaching future EMTs studying for the NREMT, and have found that having experience as an EMT allows students to have a more accurate understanding of how to apply what they've learned to real-life scenarios. I believe that as a tutor, it's important to implement and studying strategies that the student enjoys and take into consideration what the student is struggling with, to allow them to fully grasp the material the best that they can.
