I adapt my teaching style to the student's needs. I am a very patient and empathetic person and work well with students of all ages and backgrounds. My educational background includes a Ph.D. in applied research and evaluation in psychology and I have applied this knowledge to tutor underserved students in a college tutoring center.

I've been tutoring biology at Hofstra University for the last three years. Over this time I have learned that the best way to help students is with an individualized and interactive tutoring session. I try to teach students the big picture and how different concepts come together rather than give them one answer to memorize. I use diagrams and pictures to really emphasize the importance of visual learning. As a tutor, I try to figure out why a student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the student relate science to their daily lives using stories and examples so he or she may gain a better understanding of the material. I have taken this integrative approach myself when studying for my college classes as well as any standardized tests such as the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, PSAT, ACT and MCAT, and have found it extremely helpful.
I enjoy helping people learn and thrive. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Education and a Master's Degree in Special Education. Since teaching for over 19 years, I've learned that there are many styles of learning and that earning can be a lot of fun. There are many techniques and strategies that I have enjoyed sharing with my students to give them confidence in reading, writing, public speaking, and more. Some of my personal interests are movies, music, traveling, my family, my dog (Benji), working out, sports (especially basketball) and shopping.
I am currently studying accounting at Hofstra University. I have been a tutor for 4 years and have tutored many students in math, science, and reading. I work very well with students to help them better understand their school work and improve their grades. I am available afternoons on Monday through Thursday during the school year and summer.
I love learning and teaching. I have a strong desire to share my love of learning with young people, and I have done so frequently over the years.I am a former New York City public school classroom teacher, and I have worked as an instructor for several summers at the Hofstra University Summer Camps teaching computer applications. In addition, I have been a supplemental education provider, an SAT proctor and prep class teacher, and currently teach chess to first- through fifth-graders.I enjoy words, word games, reading, mathematics, discovering new things, staying in shape, and sharing what I have learned with others. I am a fan of classic television sit-coms, music from various genres, and my often-hapless yet always-loved New York Mets. I enjoy a good joke or pun and am frequently ready with one for whomever is willing to listen.In short, I love teaching and having fun, and I know your student and I will enjoy working together. I look forward to that opportunity!
Hello, my name is Michael. I am currently a medical student at Virginia Commonwealth University. This is my last year and I will be graduating in a couple of months. I have a lot of free time now, so I decided to start tutoring again. I feel comfortable teaching all ages, but I have the most experience with college level courses.
I believe that all children can learn. All it takes is the right teaching style to reach even the most struggling learner. Patience is the key to teaching. I love helping my students reach academic success and taking ownership of their learning. I have been in the education field for over 10 years. My emphasis has been on special needs students but I have taught general education students as well. I run the Academic Intervention Services program for both ELA and Math in my school. I have worked with students as young as preschool-age all the way up to eighth grade. Currently, I am a sixth grade teacher at a charter school. My favorite subjects to teach are ELA and Writing. Poetry is my favorite form of writing. I can't wait to meet you in the classroom!
I look forward to helping students understand the math and science subjects they struggle with. I hope that after each session, you leave with a greater understanding of the material and with more confidence in your abilities to succeed.
I am a current undergraduate honors student at Hofstra University. I am working towards receiving my BA in English Education, with minors in history and creative writing. I am pursuing my degree in English Education in order to become a high school English teacher. I am passionate about literature, and want to share my excitement with students. I tutor in almost all things English, including reading, writing, and test prep. My personal favorite thing to tutor is essay editing, because I love to see students' thoughts on certain subjects, and explore their writing styles.My personal favorite books include 'The Great Gatsby', 'A Tale of Two Cities', and 'The Catcher in the Rye'. I spend most of my free time reading classics I haven't covered yet, or writing what I hope to be the next great American novel!Literature is how people share ideas and stories in fresh ways, and there are always new things to notice in even the oldest readings. And of course, writing is perhaps the most precise and sometimes personal way to communicate. The world needs good writers in all fields. I want to help students become the best readers and writers they can be, so that there are only open doors for them looking ahead. I accomplish this through patience, practice, and a flexible teaching method that allows students to take charge of their education.
I attended the University of Tampa to attain a Bachelor's Degree in English and Communications. I then moved on to certified teaching of ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages) to students of all ages. In continued onto graduate school at Hofstra University, where I graduated with a Master's Degree in Journalism, Public Relations and Media Studies.As aforementioned, I have worked with students of all ages on a variety of subject matter. I currently teach at an elementary school in Chuluota, FL. I have experience tutoring in areas such as reading, writing, literature and grammar and, as it is a passion of mine, I work hard to make it as enjoyable to the student as it is for myself! I love reading!I love teaching these subject areas, along with any other challenges brought onto me. I'm sure this is due to the fact that I am passionate about continual learning. As the phrase goes, you learn something new every day! As a teacher and tutor, you begin to realize that not only are you extending your knowledge to others, but gaining insight and perspective into how to interpret things through a different opinion or view.I am very up to date on pop culture and believe this is an incredibly important as a teacher, as correlating learning into every day entertainment is the best way to attain a student's full attention. After all, life skills are the most important to learn. Communication and relativity are the key to attain success!
I received my BS in Biology from Oberlin College and my MS in Biology from Hofstra University. While attending Hofstra, I also worked as an adjunct faculty member for 3 years, teaching lab classes for Anatomy and Physiology and Introduction Biology. Additionally, I worked as a private tutor for SAT prep, high school biology, and anatomy & physiology.Teaching is truly one of my favorite things to do. I enjoy figuring out the learning styles of each of my students and showing them that they are capable of more than they believed. Everyone learns differently, yet most classes are geared toward only one style of learning. Tutoring can be extremely helpful for those students that learn in different ways. Using feedback from the students, I find ways to help them conceptualize rather than just memorize the learning material.
I am passionate about about helping students understand that math is important for understanding the world around them. As a certified math and business teacher, I have worked with students between grades 5 and 12, both in person and online, to fill gaps in understanding previous concepts as well as helping them grasp new ideas that are being introduced to them.I received my undergraduate degree in Natural Science with a concentration in Mathematics from Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. I also earned an MBA from the University of Florida. I have recently earned a Master of Arts degree in Mathematics with a focus in Secondary Education from University of Northern Colorado. As you could probably tell, my strength is helping students in all levels of Mathematics from basic arithmetic to Calculus. My favorite branches of mathematics to tutor are the middle school levels (fractions, integers, and proportional reasoning) as well as Algebra and Geometry in the high school levels. I like working with these subjects because the ideas really bring out how math is connected to even the most basic life skills, from cooking and construction, to problem-solving, logic, and general reasoning.I love talking about business concepts and how they relate to each other. I especially enjoy the connection between the creative side of Marketing and the analytical/financial aspects involved.I am a pretty laid-back, low-pressure guy who expects students to make mistakes so we can learn from them. Mistakes are expected, inspected, and respected. I believe that learning should be relevant and relate to students' lives. I believe that all students can learn mathematics, but that every student learns differently. In working with students individually, I can learn more about the student's styles of learning and tailor instruction to fit that learning style.In my spare time, I like to watch TV and movies, especially when time travel is involved. The idea of time and time travel is fascinating to me. I also like to read books that take a classic story and re-imagine them into different contexts, places, and times. I am currently reading "Cress", the third book in the Lunar Chronicles series by Marissa Meyer. "Cress" is based on the story of Rapunzel and is woven into the previous novels "Cinder" (based on Cinderella) and "Scarlet" (based on Little Red Riding Hood).In addition to reading, TV, and movies, I like to do counted cross-stitch and crochet. I finally taught myself how to knit, too.
Teaching students is what I love doing. I have tutored students in various subjects. It brings me the utmost satisfaction to see students begin to understand and comprehend concepts that they were confused by once before. I was in honors all through out high school and I have received many diplomas for academic excellence. I am a deans list student who has a passion for mathematics as I find it very easy to teach.
I was a professional educator for 20 years. I received my Master's degree at Hofstra University in 2001. I have tutored in Math and English Language Arts throughout my career. My greatest memories in tutoring and being an educator are the excitement when students achieve their goals. My teaching philosophy is that any student can reach a higher level, no matter what level they are at presently. I possess excellent interpersonal skills in interacting with new students in all grades. I have worked with Kindergarten through 6th grades. I am an enthusiastic and passionate educator effective at providing quality instruction. My tutoring style focuses on fostering a positive, stimulating, encouraging, and supportive learning environment for all students.
After graduating in 2011 from the City College of New York, I worked as a consultant for Dr. Dewey who then recruited me from Brookhaven National Lab to the Feinstein institutes for Medical Research. That year, I entered the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, and joined the inaugural class as one of three PhD students of the new medical school.My dissertation project interrogated pre-clinical sex differences in the metabolic neural patterns associated with opioid pain management using18-fludeoxyglucose (18FDG) and micro positron emission tomography (MicroPET). I was able to show that distinct metabolic patterns of pain were sex-specific, and confirmed that an animal model could be useful in revealing distinct metabolic indicators of opioid withdrawal and improve the efficacy of therapeutic intervention.As a Research Scientist at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, I oversee operations of the MicroPET imaging facility as part of the Center for Neurosciences. I have recentl studies include studies of the extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, (CIRP-/-) and wild type (WT) mice, before and after exposure to binge-alcohol levels. By quantifying glucose metabolism with 18FDG and MicroPET, and using brain-mapping analysis of the imaging data, we can determine if CIRP plays a role in alcohol-induced cognitive impairment. I have served as mentor to many undergraduate and some high school students, and very much enjoy sharing my knowledge base with those that enjoy science.
I'm a law student and long time tutor who's just made the move to Varsity. I've been tutoring for about eight years now, since I first started working with a friend of a friend's child on his SATs. I graduated from Brooklyn College with a degree in economics, and I'm at Hofstra Law School. I tutor the SATs, ACTs, LSAT, GRE, basically all high school subjects, and a bevy of college ones, including history, psychology, economics, law, and writing. That's not because I'm an expert in everything - it's because the only thing I enjoy more than learning is helping someone else learn. A good tutor doesn't just explain the subject to you - they explain what's cool about it, how it applies to your life, and why you want to learn it. If I have to brush up on my AP Chemistry as an excuse to explain why dimensional analysis is actually the most useful math you'll ever learn, I find it thrilling, not a chore. That's really my whole paradigm, as a tutor. Every subject has a relation to both everyday life, and to the coolest parts of the collective achievements of humanity. Learning not just what Pi is, but what it means, is treading the same ground as the people who built the pyramids. We lose that joy - the enrichment granted by greater understanding - too often in sterile and boring classrooms. My goal is to help students attain mastery by providing the context and tools that let them have "Eureka!" moments. Learning is fun, and tutoring is more than just being a living wikipedia article. It's giving life to the dry and soulless problem set, making fun of the trap answers on the LSAT, and linking history to its greatest stories. I don't need gimmicks and games to make that happen. I just find where a student and I can connect over the material, how they learn, and what they're having trouble with. I won't guarantee anyone a score on a test or promise that everyone can get an A in every subject. But I do promise not to waste anyone's time or money. Every session, my students will learn new facts, new techniques, or new ways to understand some boring idea. That's not because I'm the smartest guy in the room: it's because I simply love seeing people learn.
I am a licensed CPA in New York and an income tax professional at a large corporation. Tutoring has become a passion of mine since I started a few years ago. I look forward to helping you learn and grow.
I am a certified teacher, qualified to teach Social Studies, Math, and English in grades 7 through 12. With four years of substitute teaching and other classroom experience, as well as many years of tutoring in various subject areas, I am a seasoned and versatile tutor. Not only have I taught math and science classes at a non-public high school, I have also led SAT-prep classes and instructed students privately in reading, writing, math, and in preparation for a variety of standardized tests (ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, GED). Besides my years of experience and deep content knowledge, my strength as a tutor stems from an intuitive understanding of how to connect with students and explain content in creative ways. I work very hard to bring that "Aha!" moment to students. I love teaching and being involved in the field of education -- I can't think of anything else I'd rather be doing with my life!
After practicing environmental law for 27 years, I decided to change careers. I chose teaching because that is something that has always interested me, and chose social studies because my BA is in history and history has been a lifelong passion. I have a background in law, government and public policy as well, having been a practicing environmental lawyer and having earned a Master of Public Administration degree. As a Scout leader for 25 years, I was very much involved in teaching at all education levels, all the way up to graduate school. Raising my own four children also involved a great deal of teaching. As a lawyer, I enjoyed most working with younger lawyers and helping them become better researchers and writers, and with high school and undergraduate students considering a law-related career. The common thread in these experiences is working with young people one-on-one or in small groups. For these reasons, I believe tutoring plays to my strengths as a teacher. When I was in the classroom, my assessments always used actual AP questions. My students performed very well on their final exams, which were full-length AP tests using questions from past exams, averaging. In world history, I wrote my own test questions, since test banks accompanying the text involved little more than memorization. I try to inject more rigor into my lessons and assessments. I never go into a professional activity with a client without a great deal of preparation. In my economics and government classes, I prepared detailed study guides both to prepare myself and to assist students. I believe my students' performance in AP classes was directly related to these guides. As a tutor, in my first meeting with a student, I will assess the nature of their concerns with the subject. I will review with them the syllabus and their recent exams and assignments to identify the key problems. Problems might include study habits, difficulty with key concepts, and absorbing the sheer volume of material, among other things. Having identified the problems, I will tailor tutoring sessions to the individual student's needs. For example, lessons may concentrate on practice with difficult concepts Many students are visual or kinetic learners, so the use of graphs in economics is especially useful to get to the solution, and to build on basic concepts, even when answering multiple choice questions. In this regard, my study guides will provide appropriate material for helping students. I view these guides as living documents and constantly evaluate and revise them to meet student needs.. As a tutor of college students, I will draw on my own experience working with summer interns as well as my education and professional experience. Law, public administration, government, and economics, in addition to US and world history are some of the subjects in my professional repertoire. Most important, because I have taught or practiced in a number of subjects before, I have a wealth of material and information that I can use in my tutoring sessions. For subjects I have not yet taught, I look for useful material on line. In general, I do not view tutoring as something that happens only during the hour I spend with a student. I maintain records on each student's needs and progress, and plan ahead for each meeting so as to tailor lessons to individual needs. I prepare session notes following each meeting with a student to help prepare future lessons and to assess my own performance.
I am rising second-year law student at Hofstra University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry from Adelphi University. I started tutoring as a way to help out during the pandemic because I saw how students and educational institutions, as a whole, struggled during this hard time. Being a student myself, I know firsthand the frustration when you do not understand something and the patience required to be able to excel at a subject. There is nothing better than when a student not only begins to understand a concept, but also becomes enthusiastic about it and even loves it. I have a love for a variety of subjects that ranged from Spanish to Mathematics. I look forward to working with you!
I'm a writer, novelist and ghostwriter. My published works include a range of long form science fiction and fantasy as well as short humor articles.I've worked with dozens of companies writing fiction and bringing worlds to life. Creating stories is exciting and learning to do so should be as well.From short stories to novellas and novels, I can help you work on your manuscripts and navigate the publishing industry.Graduated Magna Cum Laude."I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thomas Edison
If you are looking to truly learn the Spanish language, you have come to the right place. The reason I say this is because I am a non-native Spanish speaker that has gone the extra mile to learn. I wasn't the biggest fan of foreign language in high school; in fact, I took tech classes to satisfy my language credits. It wasn't until I studied abroad, where I learned what a powerful tool knowing multiple languages could be, that I came to enjoy them. During my sophomore year at Hofstra University I studied at the University College of Dublin where I made friends from all over the world; all of them spoke at least two languages. From there I was determined to learn Spanish. During that following summer I moved to Spain and lived with a friend and his family where I was immersed in the language. After I finished my Business degree at Hofstra I was able to attend Molloy College and earn a BS in Spanish language and begin working on a Master's in Education. I now work for Booker Software where I implement software for enterprise level Spanish clients. Each day I am able to use this language I never thought I would need in such an informative way. Through my experiences I know I can help students of every level. I can relate to students who may not have the drive to learn another language because I myself have been there and can understand their feeling. While on the other hand I am a great resource for students who enjoy the language and are looking to learn from someone who uses Spanish in their everyday life. For the last three years I have been tutoring students of all different levels and they have all made great strides in the classroom. I have varied experience working with many business' throughout the world and that gives me great knowledge in regards to international business and local and foreign economics. I hope to be helping your child in the classroom soon.
Initially I enrolled at Baruch College to pursue studies in International Finance, later I transferred to the College of New Rochelle to complete my undergraduate studies with a focus in Sociology and English. Shortly after earning my BA at the College of New Rochelle, I was accepted into Hofstra University's graduate school of education to be professionally trained as an elementary grade teacher. I was searching for a rigorous graduate program and I found it! After earning my MSed at Hofstra, I immediately began teaching with great enthusiasm.What I enjoy most about teaching is learning to meet each student at their need, with their interests at heart. In life you build friendships, and as educators you learn to value the thoughts and ideals of your colleagues. My tutoring experience began with a little boy who was told he was stupid and slow by other students in class; they didn't know his father had passed away from cancer over the summer. He was my first student to tutor. He lost interest in learning because he felt no one showed interest in what he considered important. From then on, I make it my signature to ask each student before each session, "tell me about your day".It only takes a moment, but it has lasting meaning. I've tutored students from grades K-5 and always show gratitude to the parents for their efforts and commitments. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, Science and Social Studies. Learning the various parts of speech, how to improve spelling and build vocabulary while exploring the world of literature is fascinating with life-long rewards. Science opens a world of discovery, often encompassing math and opportunities to write extensively about what's learned or observed. Social Studies is our pathway to revisit history and events that have led up to where we are as a nation as a people sharing planet earth.I share John Dewey's theory "Children learn by doing and that Learning occurs through experience". Students often ask me, "what are we going to do today?" because each session is often different in approach or technique to keep students in engaged and excited about being life-long learners. Most importantly, I always remember to set an example by including myself as a pedagogue, I'm a life-long learner too.
I am an IT professional with a Masters degree in Computer Science. My education allowed me to become adept at mathematics including algebra through Calculus. I also consider myself to be well-rounded, well-read and have knowledge to varying degrees in a variety of subject areas including, of course, Computer Science, English and History.
Writing Is My Passion Love of language motivates me. Sharing that love is what I do. At 9, I discovered the joy of writing my inner thoughts on paper. I attribute my aha moment to my fifth grade teacher, Mrs. Whitehill, who recognized something in me that I hadn't figured a way to express, yet. She had read My Brother Sam is Dead, by James Lincoln and Christopher Collier aloud, and asked us to write a reaction to the novel. Something in me ignited that day. As a teacher, I honor my inner voice by helping students of all ages find themselves through language. I've done just about any job you could imagine from waitressing to investigating credit card fraud. Mostly, I've written and have been fortunate to earn money from my writing. Throughout 30 years I've written: journalism pieces, essays, business proposals, speeches, public relations materials as well as short stories, poems, lyrics, and fiction. I bring a wealth of real-world experience to the classroom, emphasizing the origin of creation, using many sources of knowledge. Everyone has a story to tell from rapper or spray paint artist to parent or child. Each person has a unique voice to share with the world. I help students write better using their own voice. I value the dynamic student-teacher relationship as a fundamental basis of learning and am a student-focused teacher. My classroom, or (one-on-one session) is conducted with integrity and respect for learning and focused on studying written language. As a tutor, I approach the lesson by simultaneously assessing his/her need and ability. Then step-by-step we work on the project at hand. I'm very efficient with my use of time. I strive to help my students thrive and grow to cultivate a lifelong love of language.
My name is Rachel! I am a college English professor at Suffolk County Community College , and have been tutoring students of all ages in English, math, and history for ten years. I experience joy every time I can help a struggling student understand, or even enjoy a subject. I am very experienced in tailoring lessons to meet an individual's needs, so no matter what your issue is, we can figure out how to solve it together! I look forward to talking to you.
I am a graduate of Hofstra University, where I received a B.A. in English with a concentration in Creative Writing & Literature. I also had minor studies in Spanish and Fine Arts. Additionally, I have received a TEFL/TESOL certification from International TEFL Academy. I enjoy travel and was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to live in Japan for three years while teaching English to children ages 3 to 12 at an after school immersion program. Once I returned home to Massachusetts, I worked at a public elementary school as the 4th grade ESL teacher. Working with kids has always been a lot of fun, and I find it easy to relate to them and see their individual personalities shine. I'm interested in tutoring a variety of English subjects, but I'm most eager to tutor creative writing and essay writing/editing. I feel like my strengths lie in these areas, given my lifelong enthusiasm for writing and literature. Finding the right words to transfer ideas from brain to page can be quite difficult and frustrating, and I'm confident that with my varied experiences editing an array of writing styles, I will be able to assists students in expressing their ideas accurately. In my spare time, I like drawing, reading, writing, and obsessing over my dog.
I have been teaching Algebra, Geometry, ISEE, SAT, SSAT and ACT Prep for almost 20 years. My experience ranges from teaching in person classes of up to 30 students, to one-on-one individualized programs. I am passionate about helping my students learn the materials in each of their individual learning styles. No two students are identical and are able to learn the same. Teachers must be able to adapt and assist each student's needs in this way.
I am a healthcare leader with over 12 years of professional experience and a passion for helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I enjoy working with learners of all ages, from elementary school through grad school, and believe every student can succeed with the right support and encouragement. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including science, psychology, health sciences, study skills, and academic writing. My teaching style is patient, engaging, and personalized to each student's learning needs, whether they're preparing for an exam, improving grades, or mastering a challenging concept. My goal is to make learning approachable, build lasting understanding, and help every student reach their full potential. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy traveling, exploring new places, spending time with my family, and giving back to my community through volunteer work.
I am passionate about helping students with the Spanish language because I believe that learning a new language opens up a world of possibilities and opportunities for personal and professional growth. I find joy in sharing my knowledge and love for the Spanish language with others, and seeing my students progress and succeed brings me great satisfaction. I have experience working with students of all ages and levels, from beginners to advanced learners. I have tutored students in grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, conversation practice, and cultural understanding. My goal is to make learning Spanish fun, engaging, and relevant to each student's interests and goals. I received my education in Spanish language and literature from StonyBrook University, where I obtained a Bachelor's degree in Spanish Literature and Language. I received my Master's degree in Education, with a focus on language teaching and learning from Hofstra University. I am a middle school/ high school Spanish teacher for 28 years. I taught for 15 years at the University Level. I tutor a variety of subjects related to the Spanish language, including grammar, writing, speaking, listening, and culture. I also offer test preparation for exams such as the AP Spanish Exam, the NYS FLACS A & B Exams. My favorite subject to tutor is conversation practice, as I believe that speaking and listening are essential skills for language acquisition. I enjoy helping students build confidence in their speaking abilities and encouraging them to express themselves in Spanish. My teaching philosophy is centered around creating a supportive and interactive learning environment where students feel comfortable taking risks and making mistakes. I believe in personalized instruction that caters to each student's individual needs and learning style. My tutoring style is patient, encouraging, and adaptive, and I strive to make learning Spanish enjoyable and rewarding for my students. Outside of academia, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cultures, trying new foods, and spending time with my family. I also have a passion for music, art, and literature, which I believe enriches my understanding and appreciation of the Spanish language and culture.
I graduated Hofstra University in three and a half years, cum laude, with a B.A. in Drama and minor in creative writing. I spent two summers in Italy teaching children English, earning my TEFL certification. I now work in NYC private schools, long term substitute teaching. I am able to help with all things English and Writing, up to a high school level.
I am a public school teacher (Chemistry and Living Environment) but can tutor most sciences. I truly believe in differentiated learning and once I know the learning style of a student, I tailor my teaching style for optimum time usage. I love to utilize stories from my real life experiences in labs to help students understand the implications of their science education.
I am currently enrolled at Hofstra University with a major in chemistry and a minor in mathematics. I am a senior and currently in my last semester and working towards my Bachelor of Sciences in Chemistry, and throughout my Hofstra career I have tutored college students in chemistry and mathematics. I have found it very rewarding to tutor kids because I enjoy the subjects that I tutor and the cool parts of the subjects that may be applicable to real life. I find that is very hard to try to drill material into a students head without understanding why they are learning it. I tutor Honors Chemistry, AP Chemistry, and Mathematics from Algebra 1 to College Algebra. My favorite subject to tutor would have to be chemistry because of how fascinating it can be once it is understood carefully. I would say my tutoring philosophy is to have patience. Understanding a subject takes time, and I understand that completely. I want students to find a way to enjoy the work they do. The most important thing I want to instill into the students I tutor is to have discipline and patience. Learning is a process and cannot be forced upon anyone. In my free time I enjoy playing sports and exercising. I also enjoy watching professional sports and playing professional sport video games.
I'm passionate about helping students in various stages of their educational path, by collaborating to understand learning styles and developing study techniques that improve information retention. Sometimes the best approach to learning is figuring out the explanation of a concept that finally makes it click, which takes patience and flexibility. I look forward to working with students to clarify concepts and get them out of a rut when working through difficult subjects. Despite graduating from high school in 2018, I still remember how difficult it was to get through the AP classes, the AP exams, and the standardized testing. My journey in college was filled with pre-med classes and humanities major work, so I also understand the need to balance different disciplines and develop proficiency across a variety of subjects. I hope to help build confidence and skills in various subject areas from SAT/ACT testing to math, science, and English/writing.
I am an attorney and solo practitioner who prepared for the LSAT on my own. I worked full time while attending law school at night, and while I studied for the Bar Exam. I know how to effectively manage time to achieve goals.I say this because the LSAT is not like other tests. The material is irrelevant. What is important is managing your time to optimize your score. I can help you improve your approach to the test so you can achieve the maximum results.
I am currently in graduate school at Hofstra University studying in Health Administration. I graduated from Hofstra with my Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Minor in Forensic Science in the Honors Program there. I started tutoring through the Learning Centers over 5 years ago which helped me realize that teaching others was something I loved to do. This coupled with my passion for Science and a wide range of topics motivated me to excel. I have experience working with a wide range of students from as young as KG to as old as college aged students, in various fields such as science, mathematics, reading and even test preparation. In my free time I love to read and travel.
I received my Bachelors Degree from SUNY Binghamton and my Masters Degree in Education from Hofstra University. Several years ago I attended classes at LIU Post in Interior Design. I am certified to teach elementary students (grades N-6) and Social Studies (grades 7-12). I have been teaching for many years and every year brings new challenges. In an effort to meet these challenges, I recently attended Dowling College and gained my Professional Certificate in Students with Disabilities.I truly believe that every student has the ability to learn and that they each learn differently. It is the responsibility of the educator to find the best way to inspire his or her students to learn and then guide them along in the process. I like to work games into my sessions, students can learn just as much when they are having fun!Most of my tutoring experience has been with children who are home bound, from first grade through middle school.When I am not working, I enjoy movies, antiquing, and bargain hunting.
I am a sophomore at Hofstra University, majoring in Biology with a minor in Neuroscience as part of the competitive BS/MD program that guarantees admission to the Zucker School of Medicine. I've worked with students from middle school, beginning to explore scientific thinking, to high schoolers aiming for top scores on the SAT. My teaching experience includes mentoring high school peers in biology and math, volunteering abroad to design bilingual lesson plans, and leading interactive group sessions on science and math. I've taught students from many backgrounds and skill levels, and I take pride in adapting to each learner's goals and pace. Having recently been through the college prep process and standardized testing, I understand how to pinpoint difficult topics and curate individualized lessons. I tutor SAT Math, English composition, grammar, and biology at all levels. Outside of academia, I'm passionate about writing, health science, and engaging in biomedical research projects.
I am currently a student at Hofstra University expecting to graduate in May 2026 with a Bachelors of Business Administration in Marketing. Since being in high school, I have been passionate about helping others in any way I can, including tutoring. My focus for tutoring is English, writing (especially peer editing), and history. I have a great deal experience with IB courses, as well as CAS, Theory of Knowledge and the Extended Essay. IB Literature and Language was actually an all-time favorite course of mine, and I have carried that passion with me to college. Writing is a vital tool for success and being a great writer is a key component in higher education and life. Alongside my passion for English/writing, I love to scuba dive (and see marine life!). I also collect vintage vinyls with many being from Fleetwood Mac, which is my favorite band.
My passion is sharing knowledge with others. I'm a Multi-Subject Tutor who enjoys seeing D's become A's and School frustration become satisfaction. My only goal is to deliver students the results they deserve so they can reach higher levels in education and in life
