Hello! My name is Kayla, and I am prospective elementary school teacher! I am entering into my senior year at Duquesne University with a major in Early Childhood Education and a minor in Spanish. I have experiences tutoring in various subjects, and am very passionate about helping others learn! Although my certification area is early childhood, I am able and willing to work with students of all ages in various content areas!

I am a graduate of Duke University, as well as Duquesne University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in political science and German with a focus on international relations and twentieth century totalitarian regimes. I received my Master of Arts in Public Policy Management with a focus on energy policy, particularly unconventional hydrocarbons like shale gas. During my undergraduate studies, I spent 6 months living in Berlin, Germany as part of a full-immersion language acquisition program. Professionally, I spent almost a decade as a small business owner, operating my own financial planning firm. I decided to return for higher education because of a deep interest in energy markets, developed during my career as a financial advisor. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Economics (particularly microeconomics), Political Science, History, and Math. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests like the GRE, I have seen the most success assisting students in understanding the logic of these exams, how they have been constructed, and what the best approach for leveraging that knowledge is. I have a deep commitment to education. Education is necessary not just for establishing employable skills, but more importantly to create an informed population. In my spare time, I enjoy blacksmithing and knifemaking, playing my drums and guitar, listening to a wide array of music, and spending as much time as possible with my family.

I am a graduate of Duquesne University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Jewish Studies. I graduated Cum Laude and was part of the Honors College and many other student organizations throughout my time at Duquesne University. I was also deeply involved in academic research and completed an Independent Honors Senior Research Thesis. Currently I am in graduate school studying for my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I have a wide range of tutoring experiences, tutoring children of all ages within various subjects as well as tutoring my university peers. I also have experience tutoring for college and graduate school prep, as well as essay writing for college and graduate school admission. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Psychology, Writing, English and Literature. I am a firm believer in every student's ability to learn and succeed in their studies! With this belief though I recognize that each student learns differently, I tailor my tutoring and teaching styles to each student based upon their strengths and weaknesses. I think it is important to get to know my students, what they enjoy and what they struggle with, and use this knowledge to help them find the easiest and most enjoyable route to improving their knowledge in the desired subject areas. I believe learning should be fun and engaging so no matter the subject or topic I work hard to make sure the lessons are relevant to the students interests and goals. In my spare time, I enjoy reading a variety of genres, yoga, running, and playing board games! I believe it is a duty for those who have the privilege to receive an education to give back to others within their community, so I find great fulfillment in participating in volunteer work and outreach within my community.

My goal is to help every student that needs help. As an educator our jobs are to serve future generations and help guide them on their paths to becoming lifelong learners.

I received my Masters in secondary education and currently teach chemistry and physical science at the high school level. My dream is help guide the future minds of science to further extend our knowledge of the field.

Hello, I am currently a School Psychology Ph.D. student at Duquesne University who specializes in research in academic interventions to improve students' academic skills, specifically writing. I currently hold a Master's Degree in Education, Child Psychology, and a Bachelor's of Arts Degree in Psychology with a Teacher Education Minor. It is my passion to not only tutor students, but to mentor them to be their best selves both inside and outside of the classroom. I will be graduating in May of 2022 and am currently going through the rigorous and competitive matching process to obtain a pre-doctoral internship through the American Psychological Association (APA). Upon graduation, I plan to obtain licensure to become a licensed psychologist and work as a tenure-track professor at a university.I love to tutor students in research, psychology, writing which is my specialty and reading. However, I believe that I can help a student achieve their goals across all subject areas. I have learned various techniques through my Ph.D. program, as my specialty of school psychology focuses on helping students obtain success both inside and outside of the classroom, both educationally, socially, and emotionally. Overall, with being in college for almost ten years, I know what hard work and dedication can bring. I know that every student is unique and learns differently, so I work to shape my tutoring sessions around how that student learns best.

I love teaching. Moving a student toward their goal is most rewarding, as is discovering the tools to motivate the student. Giving those tools of learning to a student is exciting for all.My teaching spans middle school through technical college.English, Reading, and Writing are courses with which I have taught. I obtained my bachelors degree Radford College in Virginia and my masters degree from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh.Born in Pennsylvania, I have traveled and lived in a number of states and just recently returned to the Pittsburgh area:I love animals in general. My dog, Alexander the Great, aminiature doxie, has the spotlight now. We enjoy traveling around to all of the great dog parks available in this great city.I love sports. Skiing, tennis, jogging were a large partof my life. A severed ACL, which had been corrected through surgery and tons of therapy, convinced me to occupy myself with more laid back activities.

I have a strong interest and passion in the teaching career. With my past experiences working with both elementary and high school aged students, I feel that I have a diverse experience background that will bring a lot to this tutoring program. Throughout the years, I have developed a passion for the career and a love for inspiring learners. I am very interested in applying for your current open position as a tutor.As a 2013 graduate from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, I am fully equipped to begin a teaching career. I have had experience with children from age two to age eighteen, through my many experiences with schools while attending Duquesne University, through substitute teaching,and through full-time teaching this school year. I have had many experiences with suburban and urban school districts as well. My student teaching experience was in the third grade classroom in a suburban school outside of Pittsburgh and my current school is an urban school in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.Through my experiences at Duquesne University and afterwards, I have truly been able to develop a passion for teaching, and I feel that I am fully equipped with the necessary skills to become a great tutor. It is my goal to combine my range of experience with my passion and enthusiasm, to make a positive contribution to your tutoring program.

I'm a PhD candidate studying Clinical Psychology. Before that I completed a Masters degree in Mental Health Counseling at New York University and a B.A. in Sociology at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. I have graded hundreds of term papers over the years,and have led workshops focusing on academic writing. I care about my students' success and utilize my training in counseling psychology in the service of understanding each individual's needs and strengths. My areas of expertize are in:(1) Teaching students how to learn: Studying and learning should be challenging, meaningful, and empowering. Learning should not meaningless and boring. Although many of us have spent several years studying, rarely are we taught how to learn. I offer my clients strategies and approaches to learning that emphasize efficiency, balance, and self-care. I also work with clients to address the blocks that get in the way of a healthy, productive, and meaningful approach to learning. Specifically, I work with my clients to manage test-anxiety, and to approach their studies and academic challenges in a focused and grounded way.(2): Writing skills: Teaching an approach to writing that balances academic formality with creative self-expression and critical thinking.(3): Reading/Critical Thinking skills: I teach reading and critical reasoning skills through focusing on rapid vocabulary acquisition and critical thinking. My approach is evidence-based and draws on 'spaced-repetition' learning methods to facilitate rapid gains in vocabulary.

I am a former teacher and writer. Currently I am a tutor and a writer. I worked with elementary students of all ages. I also assisted in coordinating adult education programs at a community college. Through a local workforce board position, I taught adult learners. My Bachelor degree is from the University of Maryland in Elementary Education and I acquired a Master's Degree in Counselor Education from Duquesne University. Post Master's coursework took place at the University of Denver in Higher Education and I am currently finishing a class in English as a Second Language. I am a lifelong learner. I believe it is important to respect each student's uniqueness. Helping students grow academically and seeing their confidence levels increase in their learning environments are important goals for me. I enjoy tutoring a variety of subjects including basic reading skills and specific elementary math skills and others as needed. I love teaching reading to all ages and seeing skill development, especially in comprehension. One of my first published works focused on classroom ideas from my first hand experience. I also co-authored a book about using sports statics in basic elementary math. The idea was born from a student I tutored many years ago.

I have been working professionally in education for almost six years now. I have been described as a compassionate, reliable, effective, and fair teacher.

I love the art of teaching and meeting new students. My favorite thing about teaching is interacting with children and teaching them new skills to help them be successful in all aspects of what they do.

Hi! My name is Dana and I work full time as a Physical Therapist. I graduated from Duquesne University with a BS in Biology, Health Sciences and a Doctorate in Physical Therapy. I have a passion for science and love learning about the amazing things our bodies can do. Through all of my years of schooling I have tried a variety of different study methods and completely understand the frustrations of it all. I am determined to ensure my students are confident with the information they are learning, feel comfortable in their learning environments and never feel embarrassed for asking questions.

I tutor because I want to be a successful teacher. I recently graduated from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. There I earned my bachelors degrees in both Secondary Education and English. I've now entered the Graduate School of Special Education. I believe every student can succeed with the right amount of attention and the appropriate person encouraging and pushing them to be better. I excel with late middle school/ early high school students. I'm open to tutoring online and in person. I want every student to do their very best, and I accomplish this goal through incorporating their interests into every part of every lesson. I look forward to picking up new students, and I'm excited to hear from you! Have a great day!

I am a graduate of Duquesne University where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism with a focus on Broadcast. I also received a minor degree in French. I received a Master of Science in Education with a focus on Middle Childhood Education Grades 5-9, from Mercy College. I have also received teaching certifications in the states of New York and Pennsylvania. I am licensed to teach Elementary Education Grades K-6 in Pennsylvania, and I am licensed to teach Elementary Education Grades 1-6 and Middle Childhood Education Grades 5-9 in New York. Since attaining my degrees, licenses, and certifications, I have taught many grade levels that consisted of an array of students from different cultures, races, creeds, and nationalities. In my opinion, the most rewarding part of teaching and tutoring is watching students become enlightened in a variety of content areas that foster academic growth and creativity. I have been tutoring for about seven years now. I love to give each student one-on-one attention. That is why I enjoy tutoring. I believe the more attention a student gets, the more the student is able to learn and retain, which ultimately leads to academic success.

I am currently a student at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where I am working towards a degree in Biochemistry and Mathematics. I currently have my mathematics minor and am starting a research position in a biochemistry lab. For the past three years, I have been involved with the tutoring of my peers in many areas such as general chemistry, organic chemistry, physics, and a variety of math courses. During this time I have been guided by the philosophy that learning is best accomplished in an atmosphere where knowledge is an open dialogue. Through my experience tutoring here at Duquesne, I have found that the most productive, thought provoking, and genuinely enjoyable times studying have been those where an open dialogue or conversation has led to the systematic understanding and solving of a problem. With this in mind, the thing I stress the most in my teaching is that being open to different perspectives and expressing your thoughts is key in opening the door to a deeper understanding in any area of study or life.I am always up for a good conversation, especially about T.V shows (Buffy the Vampire Slayer anyone!?) and music ( I am a huge Indie music fan). In my free time I love to play guitar, go out to eat, ski, and hang out with my friends.

I am currently a masters student at the Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy specializing in international law and international security studies. I also am an LSAT prep course teacher for Kaplan International. Personally, I have scored within the top 5% of test takers on the LSAT.

I have spent my entire career as a librarian providing the best reference and research to the federal judiciary. It is this desire to continue to help others better themselves that motivates me to want to tutor. I would like to help them succeed for themselves and their future.

I am deeply committed to the education and well-being of students, and bring a high level of patience and acknowledgment of the intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of all students. As a mental health therapist I have a unique perspective to offer learners in the field of psychology and counseling, one which both informs and brings to life the concepts of the discipline. The clinical experience I have gained contributes to my work as an educator with a pointed focus on incorporating student wellness and education achievement, as well as augment student's learning

My belief is that all students of all levels and types are capable of learning. It is just a matter of putting in the effort and taking the correct approach. In some cases it is a matter of putting together a series of small victories and gains before reaching the ultimate goal, but all students can get there!

I have been both a voice teacher and music therapist since 1980, and believe that singing is healthy for us emotionally, physically, and spiritually! I have a PhD in Music Education/Therapy, an MA in Vocal Performance, and have taught students at all levels, from beginners to graduate university vocal majors. My teaching credo is that anyone can benefit from singing. People may think they cannot sing because others have told them that. In most cases, by working on students' listening, musical, or motor skills, they can find their natural voice! I can also teach music theory, music history, music fundamentals, world music, and music and wellness.Although my academic achievements are in music, my Jewish faith and studies are equally as essential to me, and I am glad to share my knowledge of Judaism and Biblical Hebrew with you.

I am passionate about helping students succeed in computer science by breaking down complex concepts into clear, relatable ideas. I recently completed my Master of Science in Computer Science from Duquesne University, where I also worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant, supporting students in Java, Operating Systems, and Data Structures.

I recently relocated to Houston with my husband and newborn daughter.

This past year I graduated with my Masters in History from Duquesne University in Pittsburgh where I was a Graduate Assistant. I attended undergraduate school at Franciscan University of Steubenville, where I graduated with the top GPA in my class. I discovered my particular interest in history as an undergraduate student, however I have a real passion for all of the humanities, such as literature, philosophy, theology, and political science.I have tutored a variety of ages and subjects, ranging from third grade math to college level languages. I have worked with students with learning disabilities as well as with high-achieving college students just wanting to get straight A’s. I am a native speaker of Spanish, but I’ve also enjoyed studying and tutoring French and Latin. I also have a lot of experience in editing college papers and helping students put together significant research projects.Tutoring has been a way for me to share my love for learning with others. One of the best rewards of tutoring is watching students grow more confident as they achieve their academic goals. I truly believe every student has the ability to learn and it’s my personal goal to help them discover this. I really enjoy getting to know each student personally, as we are a team in this endeavor. More than just helping students get good grades, I also try to instill effective study habits and skills that will help them succeed in any subject.

I tutor social studies (U.S. history, psychology, world history, government) and beginner Spanish. My favorite subject area to tutor is U.S. history because I love to see how our nation has formed throughout the years! I look forward to helping students learn content, but also help them see where they can use their skills in this content area in their future. My goal in tutoring is not only to help students with the content, but help shape them to be dutiful citizens. In my free time, I like spending time with my family and friends, hiking or running, and reading a good book.

Pursuing a Grad Degree in Biomedical Engineering following an undergrad degree in the same field, am looking to build new ways to interface technology with our humanity and society! As such, I am well versed in a breadth of STEM fields, and have plenty of experience teaching them as well. Since my interests are in research, I stay away with dead-end "memorize this equation" methods taught in schools, since to reach any higher level of understanding, one needs basic understanding first. I believe this to be critical, especially if you are pursuing any sort of higher end programming in your future.

Reading is one of my hobbies, learning is my passion. To share knowledge with each other makes me happy! So, teaching became my first job in my long career.
