I'm an experienced tutor available for math, physics and general science at all levels (grammar school to college). I have a BS in Physics from Brooklyn College where I minored in mathematics and received a 3.6 GPA. I first worked as a tutor there for other undergrads in physics and calculus at the behest of the physics department. I quickly came to realize I found tutoring very rewarding and continued to tutor after graduation at the Harlem Children's Zone. There I worked on SAT prep for high school students preparing to apply to colleges. I've also been tutoring math to a grammar school student on an ongoing basis (2 years).I try to listen carefully to a student to determine what gives them difficulty or anxiety. I find it most important to instill confidence in the student through methodical study of the subject matter and verbal encouragement. A lack of confidence at test time can be devastating. I watch a student solve problems and take note of how they deal with being stuck. This is crucial in physics and math because at some point everyone "hits a wall" so to speak. I find the solution to this is having the student work through lots of problems with careful prompting to get them used to thinking on their feet.I'm also a musician who enjoys hiking, camping and spending time with my wife and daughters. While physics is my favorite topic, I really enjoy tutoring in math as well. My subjects include (but are not limited to): algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus, vector calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, general physics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chemistry, SAT, etc. Willing to travel in NYC area by subway.

I am a certified English teacher for grades 7-12 and have a master's in teaching English from Brooklyn College. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts, summa cum laude, in English, music, and University Honors Program from Portland State University. Prior to graduating from Portland State, I studied piano performance at University of Southern California's Thornton School of Music. For the last two years, I taught middle and high school English in NYC public schools. Now I freelance as a tutor, book editor, and musician; I love the increased opportunities to work with people individually! In addition to working as a classroom English teacher, I have worked with music students of all ages in classrooms, in ensembles, and individually. My favorite part about teaching and tutoring is helping students get excited about a new idea or creative process. In my tutoring sessions, I will focus on both big ideas (developing and structuring arguments, analyzing themes, building connections, etc.) and the nitty gritty details (conventions, grammar, sentence structure, style, voice, etc.) of reading and writing, whether it be for an essay prompt on an assigned novel or for SAT prep. By the end of a session, you'll be better equipped with skills that will help you not just with your current assignment but also with any reading or writing assignment in the future.In my spare time, when I'm not reading all the books I can get my hands on, I enjoy playing piano and singing.

Joseph
BA CUNY Brooklyn College
4+ Years Tutoring

I graduated from high school at Fordham Preparatory School in 2010 and am currently taking a semester off before my final year at the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Brooklyn. I am working towards two bachelors degrees: a BFA in Creative Writing and a BA in Psychology.My first tutoring experience was in my senior year of high school during which I tutored juniors who wanted extra help preparing for the AP Language and Composition exam, which I had taken the previous year. In college I have helped students struggling with general essay-writing and specific English courses—mainly writing-intensive courses but in some cases literature classes as well. I have tutored students, including some non-native speakers, who struggled with essay-writing and grammar, syntax, and usage issues.My favorite subject to tutor was definitely AP Language and Composition mostly because of my interest in the subject itself. A lot of students know how to write a good essay but really struggle with this particular AP material because it requires you to take a step back and dissect the specific methods and structures at play in a given passage presented at random. Being able to put one's finger on the precise rhetorical methods that go into a strong piece of writing is really an enlightening experience.As far as my personal tutoring style, I prefer to provide students with the guidance and practice necessary to understand each individual facet of a given subject until they feel completely comfortable with the material on their own. I find it very important to avoid overwhelming students with the big picture of something like an SAT or AP exam and prefer to break down the material into manageable pieces which, once mastered, will allow the student to excel at the subject as a whole.Besides my academic pursuits, I enjoy going to shows for local bands in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and I participate in a bi-monthly poetry reading presented by a group with whom I workshop my personal writing projects. I spend a decent amount of time reading poetry and fiction when left to my own devices, but I also have a weakness for television and may just as likely be found catching up on reality shows.

I try to present information in an engaging and simple way and often in more than one way for a better understanding.

I gained a passion for teaching over twenty five years ago; a passion I've not lost after many years. I get immense pleasure when the student(s) grasp a concept, solve a problem, or make any accomplishment whether great or small. My journey as a teacher started as a teacher's aide which inspired me to become a teacher. I was trained in Jamaica and later completed a BA at Brooklyn College NY with my major in Elementary Education. Over the years I have taught in public, and private schools. I have used whole group, small groups, and individual methods. A focal responsibility was to implement grade level appropriate classroom instruction in all basic subject areas. Mathematics and Reading are the subjects I tutor most as that is where there seem to be the greatest need. It's rewarding to me to see the expressions on faces of early learners as they start reading, or a 4th grader being able to solve a Math problem independently. Tutoring empower students to reach a higher potential, and build a greater self worth. As a Tutor I spend much time reading as well.

I'm currently a senior finishing a B.S. in Biology at Brooklyn College. During my time as an undergraduate I've shadowed an array of physicians specializing in various medical fields. During this time I was also fortunate enough to conduct research in a SUNY Downstate neuropathology lab. Along with my passion in the sciences, these experiences allowed me to fortify my pursuit in becoming an MD.During the summer of 2015 I sat for my MCAT examination - an entirely new beast. This was truly a life changing experience, and would certainly recommend several tactics I personally employed in fully grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past one could survive on raw memorization and recall power for an above-par score, but this newly structured exam requires a different approach - a more cohesive and integrated one. I'm also in a binding medical program which allows only one chance to take the MCAT and meet the required benchmark, so this was truly a one-time opportunity, a mentality I would recommend for everyone sitting for this exam.During my time as an undergraduate I taught in the Peer Health Exchange program - a program in which I traveled to various under-privileged high schools in Brooklyn and taught classes about a selected health topic. I also have experience tutoring one-on-one with students, something I personally find extremely gratifying; motivation and drive are major components of a healthy mind to absorb and retain information, and I strive to balance these with the complexity of the material at hand. Anyone can do anything, but sometimes we all need some help in getting there - I hope to help in any way possible.

As a child I developed a love for reading that has lasted throughout my adult life. I enjoy helping students acquire strong literacy skills and instilling in them a similar love of reading. I received my Bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College with a major in Television Production and a minor in English. It was my study in English literature that eventually led me into teaching. I have taught in both preschool and public school. As a teacher it was my responsibility to help students learn and expand their literacy skills such as; letter recognition, phonics, grammar and vocabulary. Since reading and writing are so closely connected I also enjoy helping students to express their ideas and opinions on paper. I have taught both general and special education students; so I am familiar with writing and maintaining IEP goals. I think learning should be interactive and interesting, therefore I try to use music and games whenever appropriate. When I begin working with a student; I assess their current skills so that I can build on what they already know and help them to achieve their academic goals.I believe that all children can learn given the right tools and support.

I hold a BA from UMass Amherst in Political Economy and MS from Brooklyn College in Mathematics Education, both summa cum laude. I am currently attending NYU Wagner, working on my Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in Education Policy.I have been a NYC DOE math teacher for the past four years, three years as a 6th- 8th grade math teacher and my last year teaching Algebra, Geometry/Trig and Health. I have taught classes ranging from advance placement to remedial, including CCT and ESL. I absolutely believe that every student can succeed in math. My approach to teaching/tutoring is building confidence through math. Often times, I have students who say they "don't get it." However, I show them they may not get the whole picture yet, but they do have an understanding of some. And by showing them tangible steps they can use time and again, students see they can "get it". Those "ah-ha" moments are not only building blocks in their skills, but more importantly, reinforcing who they are and their abilities.For my students who already have confidence in their math ability, it is about pushing them to the next level. Math is about problem solving, puzzles and thinking outside the box. By presenting problems within their skillset but slightly beyond their experience, it allows for the imaginary side of math to emerge while preparing them to approach a new problem with confidence.As the Math Department Head of my school, I have an intricate understanding of math standards for 6th- 12th grade, as well as the new Common Core Standards being piloted through NYC this year. This knowledge paired with my classroom understanding has been key to not only preparing my students for their current grade but really hone in what knowledge they will really need for the next sequential math classes. Recognized as a DOE Honors Teacher, I have prepared students for various standardized test, Regents, AP and SATs with great results. Grading the DOE math exams for 3-8th grade, Algebra and Math A/B Regents has given me the knowledge as to what the state looks for as well.Math has always been my favorite subject. It pains me when a student says they hate math because it usually means they encountered a past teacher who cared more about "the right answer" then the multiple approaches to understanding the answer.

I am currently a senior at CUNY Brooklyn College working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Children and Youth Studies. I work in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis with children who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience tutoring students in elementary and middle school in a variety of subjects, but the subjects I have worked with most are English, Writing, and Math. I have worked as an after school counselor where a portion of each day was dedicated to assisting students with homework and often leading the class in completing assignments and problems that presented challenges. My favorite subject to tutor is Math because I struggled with Math from elementary school through High School. If it were not for tutoring, I would not have been able to grasp certain concepts on my own; a part of my philosophy in tutoring and in life is to use my experiences with challenges and learning to help other people reach a goal; for instance, using techniques I learned receiving math tutoring to help a student struggling in the same area. I believe it is important for students to understand their capability to solve a problem – my tutoring style involves an interactive approach in which I work from the bottom up with students, allowing them to express what they do understand first, before tackling that which might be confusing; I believe the confidence in knowing what you can do is important when learning to accomplish what you think you can’t do. A few of my interests outside of tutoring and working with children are playing my bass guitar, dancing, stepping, and playing with my dog!

It has always been my desire to work with youth to help them develop the skills necessary to function and thrive in our society. While I was always a strong academic performer, I lacked the guidance, support, and mentoring that my classmates enjoyed at home. My goal as a tutor is to provide those needs that can sometimes be lacking in a school setting.I enjoyed a successful post-high school career in the Construction Management and Architecture fields. Like so many others I found myself laid-off Following the 2008 economic collapse. By 2011 I had enrolled in college in pursuit of a B.A. in History and a B.A. in Secondary Education complemented by minors in Art History and Communication. I graduated cum laude in 2014, demonstrating that it is never too late to fulfill one's goals or dreams. Additionally, I was inducted into The National Education Honor Society, The National History Honor Society, and Gold Key International Honor Society (for the top 15 percentile of my class).I value education and I love history. History itself is a reading and writing intensive subject and, therefore, the subject through which middle- and high-school students learned critical reading and writing skills. As I stress to me students, it is also the subject that encourages student to develop their own opinions. I want to help youth to learn and utilize the skills of evidence-based academic argument and critical thinking. My goal is to develop the student skill set and, by extension, the student confidence to meet the requirements in this area. By working closely together, I believe the student can exceed expectations and apply what we learn to all facets of education.

I care about your success in the classroom, as well as outside the classroom. That is why our sessions will never be bland :) Together, we can overcome any hurdle, and turn the "I can't" into "I can."

For some learning can be a difficult process. Not because they lack any type of mental facility, but because the material may not have been presented to them properly or more likely the case, the fundamentals needed to grasp the material are weak. I find that the lack of fundamentals is the key reasons people struggle grasping a subject matter, specifically in math and sciences.I hope to help a student learn the basis for their struggles and introduce them to how to learn more than what to learn. Understanding one's own weakness is key to learning. I hope to help the student be more introspective. Instead of saying "This is too hard", I want them to ask "Why is this too hard, and how can I fix my shortcoming?".

I have been teaching for over thirty-five years and have enjoyed every moment. To me, education is not just about learning facts and passing exams, it is also about becoming a life-long learner. It is about using knowledge to improve one's life both personally and professionally. There are skills which need to be mastered and this is one important element of education. I also believe that education can improve one's enjoyment of life regardless of the occupation or field of study one pursues.I am especially proficient in the areas of essay writing and editing, proofreading, and the mechanics of grammar and usage. I have extensive experience in helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT. I have also taught AP English and I am very familiar with the requirements of the AP Exam.

My belief is that true learning happens when it is enjoyable. My mission as a prospective New York City teacher is to do my part in making sure the information my students receive is done so in a way that is manageable and fun. When my students show interest and progress in the content being taught, I will know I have done my job.
