Born and raised in New York City, I have always had a deep passion for the humanities. I graduated from Oberlin College this May with a B.A. in History and Minors in Politics and French.From a young age I have been deeply interested in history -- particularly the Medieval and Early Modern periods, French language and culture, political theory, and geography. I also follow international events very closely. I see these subjects as different facets of the great story of human history. It is impossible to truly understand the modern world without a grasp of centuries of history as well as the political theories that inform our view of society. Furthermore the history of a culture is written in its language. Without a knowledge of geography there is no way to contextualize any of this.I want to become a tutor because I wish to spread my knowledge and passion of these subjects to other people. I would love the opportunity to show others why these topics, which people sometimes disregard or are bored by, are in fact fascinating, dramatic and beautiful.

I love participating in learning with other people. This is why I have been a high school teacher for 20 years and why I am a tutor now. One of my major skills as a tutor is breaking down skills and concepts into small parts to identify exactly where someone is struggling. I can do this with organization and learning needs, too, not just math and English content. I am also versatile and flexible; I can work on all sorts of content and handle unknown problems. I can teach you how to do that, too. I also have a great deal of experience working with students with special needs. I have been trained in some workshops, but I have only experience, not a license, in this area.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College and Wesleyan University and I am currently a PhD student at Harvard University. I received my BA in English, my BM in Jazz Studies, and my MA in Ethnomusicology. My PhD research is in West African music. I have many years of experience as a tutor, beginning as a writing tutor for a college writing center, then giving private music lessons, and working as a teaching assistant for undergraduate students in music and African studies courses. I tutor in many different areas, but my passion is in working with students in writing, literature, critical reading, music, and French. In working to prepare students for standardized tests, I can offer a wide variety of strategies for vocabulary, writing, and time management. As an educator, I am particularly interested in the transitions from high school to college, and from college into the professional world. Outside of teaching, I enjoy playing and listening to music, hiking, playing soccer, and spending time outdoors.

I'm a professional researcher and tutor with 10+ years of SAT/ACT test prep experience. I help students with Reading, Writing, Math, English, ACT Science, and Desmos-based SAT Math strategies through pacing, targeted practice, and clear test-taking methods. I'm especially effective with immediate test prep, helping students quickly identify high-impact areas and build a clear plan before an upcoming exam. I also tailor sessions to each student's learning style and can support both short-term test goals and longer-term academic growth.

I assist people to face challenges, discover motivation, identify goals, tap into resources, develop skills, and pursue success.

I believe that anything can seem easy if it's presented in the right way, at the right pace. If I can make a student interested in a topic and engage with their learning style, learning happens much faster and more effectively, and doesn't feel like work. I endeavor to interest students in any topic (but especially math) by giving them a sense of a larger context. In particular, I love to bring college-level math concepts to students in a way anyone can understand, which often demonstrates WHY the math they're doing matters. It also shows that math can be just plain cool, which I don't think our curricula prioritize enough.Besides teaching, I enjoy practicing parkour and tricking (acrobatic martial arts), playing video games, and reading fiction.

I graduated in 2013 from Oberlin College in Ohio, with a B.A. in Politics and American Studies. While at Oberlin, I worked in the College Writing Center, assisting students in planning, writing, and revising their essays and assignments. I also tutored reading and writing in a 6th grade language arts classroom at the local middle school, as well as teaching an English as a Second Language class to adult learners. I am passionate about education and supporting students of all backgrounds and ages. My favorite subjects to tutor are Literature, English, and History - I love watching words come alive for my students. I try to come to each tutoring session with a plan that leaves room for each individual student's skills, personality, and needs. In my spare time, I like to explore the beautiful city we live in, read books, watch baseball, and spend time outdoors.

I graduated from Oberlin College in 2008 with a double degree in math and politics, and then I moved to China. I spent more than four years in China working as a teacher for Chinese and international students. I've taught all different ages and types of students, in subjects ranging from ESL to math to SAT. I love teaching.

I'm a student at a small liberal arts college studying Economics and Environmental Studies. I currently tutor 9th-12th grade students at a local high school. I love math and science!

I've been a camp counselor, reading and writing tutor, and teaching assistant for many years and I'm here to help students reach their full potential. Working with people, especially children and teenagers, is my passion, and I am looking forward to all of the opportunities I will have to connect with, instruct, and learn from students.

Hi. My name is Avi and I am a Sophomore at Oberlin College. I love to read and write, and I love editing essays. I can help with any work you may have, including any subject that is taught in K-12, Hebrew and Judaic Studies tutoring, college essays and applications, and ACT prep. I have been tutoring and teaching students for four years, and most recently I tutored at Oberlin Middle and High Schools.

I am a writer living in Brooklyn. I grew up in a suburb of Washington, D.C., and attended Oberlin College in Oberlin, OH, where I majored in history. In college I acted as an editor for the Oberlin Review and as research assistant to an English professor. I spent one semester abroad at Trinity College in Dublin, and another semester at the Williams-Mystic maritime studies program in Mystic, Connecticut. It was an eclectic undergraduate experience that left me interested in many different things and wanting to learn much more. I'm working on that.My main interests are literature, film, and travel. I love getting to know people, their stories and memories, what excites them, what they care about. I think each of us has a lot to learn and we have to help each other along.

I'm a recent graduate of Oberlin College where I studied Physics and I'm now a research assistant in an academic Biophysics lab in Portland. I love getting to do physics every day and I love being able to share my enthusiasm for math and science with students.I am interested in working with elementary school through college-level students. Whatever your level, I'll be working to help you understand how to approach problem solving so that you can feel confident approaching learning material and working through problems on your own in the future.

I have been teaching piano for over twenty years. In that time if have taught students of all ages and all levels. I am a classically trained pianist with several degrees and extensive performing experience. I'd love to pass on that training to my students. I have had students participate in and won prizes in several festivals and competitions.

Originally from Westchester County, I went to Oberlin College for my undergrad and then completed the University of Vermont Post-Baccalaureate Premedical Program this past year. I love studying Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Microbiology, and Biochemistry, and I have experience tutoring students in these subjects from the middle school to the undergraduate level. Although I typically tutor students in the Biological Sciences and Chemistry, I am also able to tutor students in elementary and middle school math. I am able to work with students on MCAT preparation and can help you achieve the score you want by focusing on how to properly approach the problems and hitting all the necessary bases with content review.For my teaching style, I like to teach students how to best approach and understand complex concepts with confidence so that they will build up the skill set required to solve and understand problems effortlessly. I believe in a personalized approach to tutoring and always customize my lessons based on the student's learning style and academic goals. By eliminating areas of weakness through carefully tailored lesson plans, we will be sure to cover all the bases so that you can achieve the high test scores and grades that you deserve. My goal is to get you to love learning science and I will be sure to put in all the effort required for you to succeed in this regard.When I'm not studying or working, I enjoy power-lifting, running, listening to and playing music, reading, spending time outside at a park or beach, cooking, and traveling abroad whenever possible.

My name is Emily, and I'm a recent graduate of Oberlin College and Conservatory, where I studied Jazz Trumpet and Environmental Studies. I tutor in a wide range of subjects, including math, French, English, environmental science, and standardized test prep. I have experience teaching academic subjects and music in both classroom and individual settings, and I have worked with middle school through college-aged students. As a teacher, I strive to be flexible and approachable, getting to know my students and constantly reassessing my approach based on the needs of the individual student I am working with.

I am a first year student at Oberlin College, currently studying hispanic studies with minors in anthropology, linguistics, and journalism. I have seven years of experience teaching and tutoring students ages 5-18, and I love working with all ages. I also have experience working with students with special needs including autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities. I strive to find the best teaching approach for each of my individual students, and to evaluate and meet their individual learning needs. I also aim to do so in a positive and uplifting way, which makes students feel good about themselves and their abilities. I have experience tutoring in all cores subject areas (math, science, language arts, and social studies), as well as Spanish.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College where I studied Jazz Bass Performance and Economics. I am also a member of the Phi Beta Kappa Academic Honors Society.Throughout my time in school I was a teaching assistant and grader for many economics classes where I tutored students in groups and one on one in both mathematic and theoretical concepts. I also have experience teaching musical lessons such as jazz bass, piano, and music theory to younger students. Experience in these different teaching environments has helped me cultivate a teaching style that identifies how to teach each individual student based on their learning style and personality. While working with students on topics from math to music theory to test prep, I hope to draw on my multidisciplinary background to effectively give each student a solid understanding of the subject matter at hand.Overall I am very easy going and enjoy working will all age groups and at all academic levels. I look forward to the challenges and rewards presented with each student!

As a recent graduate student of archaeology at Cornell University, I will be able to help students with subjects ranging from anthropology, archaeology, geography, and social studies. I have conducted research in Romania, Italy, and most recently in Jordan for my thesis; "Resettlement of the Bdul and its effect on Preservation Initiatives at Petra, Jordan." Please let me know if you would like any additional information!

I am an educator with 7 years of experience, mainly in environmental education in informal learning spaces. I studied environmental biology and visual arts for my undergraduate degree, and am going to be starting a Master's program in plant biology and conservation this upcoming fall. My professional experience with education is mainly with students from elementary school to high school, but I also informally tutored throughout my time in college.

I am a Brooklyn-based Oberlin College graduate and currently work as an assistant teacher at The Churchill School and Center. I studied English and Creative Writing and teach 8th grade English. I love reading and writing fiction and essays and enjoy sharing my love of literature with students!

I graduated from Oberlin College in May 2020 with Bachelor of Arts degrees in Neuroscience and Gender, Sexuality and Feminist Studies. I am on the pre-med track planning to apply next year. I have a genuine passion for helping others, whether that be in my future career as a doctor or tutoring! During my years at Oberlin, I was a general chemistry laboratory teaching assistant, as well as a tutor for Bioorganic chemistry. I was inspired to help other students from my own experiences with teaching assistants. Oberlin has a unique program for many of the hard science courses called OWLS in which teaching assistants hold small sessions for extra help or test review. Attending OWLS was one of the best decisions I made for my academic career at Oberlin. Even when I understood the material well, OWLS was a great opportunity to review with classmates, teaching assistants and to get extra practice. I have always been someone who loves studying with peers, because I find talking through the material with others is a great way to ensure you really understand everything. From my experiences, my tutoring style is typically one that is student-focused in order to pinpoint specific gaps in content knowledge or reasoning, rather than lecturing on the material. I really enjoy taking a hands-on approach, whether that be walking through diagrams, creating concept maps or writing out lists, mnemonics or practice questions. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most interested in science, writing and middle school math! I also am extremely passionate about study skills, time management and organization! While school is definitely a huge part of my life, I also enjoy working out, painting and spending time outside. I look forward to working with you!

I graduated with a degree in Film & Comparative Literature from Oberlin College in Ohio. Over the past six years I've made dozens of short films and video art pieces, and freelanced on independent documentary projects. I have worked on television shows for Major League Baseball Productions, produced content for activist groups, and programmed for UnionDocs, a microcinema in New York. More recently, I've coordinated and facilitated retreats for emerging adults, focusing on personal growth skills and political education. I tutor a broad range of subjects, but I'm most passionate about English, Literature, and History. I've recently (and successfully) tutored myself in test preparation skills, so I am also very prepared to tutor test-prep. In my experience as a tutor, I have a great track record helping students develop their interest in reading anything! I have a deep belief that education is about practice, and that by practicing anything enough, any student can improve.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College and Conservatory, having majored in Biology and Music Composition. I have experience tutoring students in Math (Algebra 1-Precalculus), English, Biology/Neuroscience, Music Theory, and violin. I have had the opportunity to work with 1st grade to college age students, and adjusts accordingly to my students' needs. I consider it my responsibility to learn as much as I can about my students, and provide personalized instruction that is tailored to their specific needs.

I graduated from Oberlin College and Conservatory in 2015, where I earned a B.A. in Chemistry and a B.Mus. in Vocal Performance. Teaching has always been a passion of mine, both as an academic tutor and as a choir director. Working together with others to achieve goals and exceed expectations is the most rewarding pursuit one can have. In tutoring, math and chemistry have always been the subjects where I worked with students, and those are the ones that I enjoy the most. Many people are scared off by those subjects, but I enjoy showing students how to simplify and master them. I have done some personal study in SAT test preparation and how to specifically teach students how to improve on all parts of that exam. When I am not tutoring or singing, I enjoy playing bridge and chess or being outside running or in a kayak.

I am a lover of languages, books and logic puzzles with 8 years of experience as a teacher, tutor and mentor. My tutoring experience began in high school, working with high school Latin students and elementary-age reading and math students. During my time at Oberlin College, where I studied Latin and Computer Science, I continued to work as a third-grade classroom assistant, a high-school algebra tutor, and a mentor to high school students seeking to improve their grades and craft successful college essays. Following my graduation in 2012, I worked for two years as an ESL teacher at Shanxi Agricultural University in Shanxi, China.After my 8 years as a tutor, teacher and mentor, my students have been adult learners, first grade beginning readers, and each grade level in between. I enjoy finding that balance between challenge and support that is unique to each student.

I graduated from Oberlin College in 2019, with a BA in Theater and a minor in Cognitive Sciences. I have tutored informally for several years, and in 2016-17 I volunteered with the Oberlin Tutoring Practicum, helping struggling kindergarteners develop basic literacy and appropriate classroom behavior. While working in New York City as a theatrical technician, I also worked as the Lighting Director at a high-school drama program, where I mentored students in technical theater and guided them through the lighting design process. Now that commercial theater is hibernating, I'm focusing on education. I am most passionate about English and literature; I tutor basic literacy, as well as English, reading, writing and literature at all levels. I tutor elementary-level math, science and social studies. I am also a sharp essay-editor, and would be happy to support students in specific projects.I am easy-going and thick-skinned, and I am productive with reluctant/resistant students without being commandeering or condescending. I welcome additional resources from students, parents or classrooms. I'm always willing to try an unconventional approach or change tactics when needed: student success is my main concern.

My primary goal as a tutor is to give each student an individual connection to the material they are learning, and I have been practicing this goal since I began teaching seven years ago.I have taught one-on-one, online, and in classrooms. My youngest students were getting ready to start kindergarten, and my oldest were close to retirement. Through these varied experiences, I have learned to adapt my teaching strategies to suit the needs and interests of each student I work with. I believe that for students to be excited about learning, the material has to be important to them. By allowing each student’s interests to guide how they learn the information, I help them to understand and remember the material rather than just complete the problem in front of them. I am passionate about teaching and flexible in my approach. If something is not working, I believe that it is my job as a tutor to adjust my methods—not the student’s job to conform to them. I use my students’ strengths to help them overcome what challenges them, whether that means using imagination exercises to decode difficult reading passages or tackling grammar as though it were a math problem. Through this approach, I help my students to build confidence, thereby ensuring that they can succeed when facing problems on their own.I believe that trust and respect are key components of a successful tutoring relationship, and I treat my students with as much respect as I ask from them. I am punctual, considerate, and professional. Entering someone’s home and life is a big responsibility, and I take that responsibility seriously.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, where I earned a Bachelor of the Arts in English Literature with a Politics minor. While at Oberlin, I served as Editor-in-Chief of the school's alternative weekly newspaper, and worked in its writing center. Working with students to improve their essays was one of my favorite parts of college and I'm excited to be back at it.Since graduating, I've worked for Oberlin's Office of Communications, written for two alternative weeklies (Cleveland's Scene and Portland's Willamette Week) and an app (Countable.us), and gone on tour with my band. When I'm not tutoring or on deadline, you can find me with my guitar in the studio, caramelizing onions for my next big feast or with my nose buried in a book on the Q train.

I'm Elizabeth, a fluent Spanish-English bilingual educator, debate coach, successful grant writer, and Ph.D. candidate in Linguistics at Stony Brook University. I've taught high school English and college writing, earned 4.5/5 teaching evaluations, and received Stony Brook's President's Award for Excellence in Teaching. I believe students grow by asking hard questions, taking intellectual risks, and learning from mistakes. My students have earned fellowships, scholarships, awards, and admission

I graduated from the Oberlin Conservatory of Music (B.M.) and from Ithaca College (M.M.). At Oberlin, I studied trumpet performance and Eurhythmics, which is a fancy name for a unique pedagogical approach that uses movement to teach music. At Ithaca College, I studied to be a conductor, the musical kind (of course).So, why is someone with two degrees in music tutoring Reading and Writing? Writing has always been an essential arrow in my quiver of skills, so to speak. I wrote the program notes for the orchestra concerts during my time at Ithaca College and all my graduate coursework required a high level of writing. But the real reason I am a Writing tutor is that I love to write. Furthermore, I love to edit (strange, I know). I enjoy looking through an essay, tweaking words and sentences here and there to get the essay just right. There is something incredibly satisfying about constructing an expressive, potent piece of writing.When I am not writing, teaching music, or spending time with my lovely wife, I enjoy tinkering with my home espresso machine. I never used to be much of a coffee drinker until I bought my wife a semi-automatic espresso machine for her birthday. It quickly became much more mine than hers but as long as she gets the cappuccinos that result, she is fine with that. Understand, this is not the kind of machine that you just push a button and out comes a latte. It is the kind that specialty coffee shops use which require a bit of skill and finesse from the barista. I love experimenting with all the variables of making a great espresso including the dose amount, how fine to do the grind, how hard to tamp down the espresso, etc. The result? Delicious cappuccinos, right in my own home!

I am a graduate of Oberlin College, where I attained two Bachelor's degrees in English and Ancient Latin Language and Literature. I am a licensed teacher with a diversity of experience working with young people. For the past 10 years, I have tutored students of all ages and in a variety of subjects, with a strong focus on K-12 mathematics. I am pursuing a Master's degree in Elementary Education and a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification. I am extremely passionate about teaching and work daily to improve my craft. Students, parents, supervisors, and colleagues have described me as efficient, extremely patient, creative, and caring.I am certified to tutor in a variety of subjects and consider the following areas to be my specialties:*Standardized tests, such as the ISEE, SSAT, and AP examinations*Students who demonstrate challenging behaviors*Long-term tutoring in math and reading--I love to guide a student who initially struggled to meet and exceed expectations!Outside of my direct work with students, I have coordinated a math tutoring program that placed K-12 math tutors into local public schools. I have also served as a Crisis Services Supervisor at the National Runaway Safeline (NRS). At NRS, I was able to support volunteers in providing trauma-informed services to runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth.I look forward to meeting you and your child!

I graduated from Oberlin College in May 2019 with majors in mathematics and East Asian Studies. While I was a student, I worked in a drop-in tutoring center, helping my classmates with math and chemistry. During my junior year, I tutored a high school junior in algebra, and I am currently tutoring a middle school student in Mandarin. Tutoring is something I genuinely enjoy. I like helping people. I empathize with my tutees because I know what it is like to struggle with a new concept; I know what it is like to not understand something you feel you should understand. These are difficult experiences with which I am personally familiar. Thus, my main motivation for wanting to be a tutor is to help people overcome these difficulties and feel good about themselves in the process. An added bonus is the reward of better understanding the material I am teaching. Given that I have experience tutoring both math and Chinese, these are the subjects I am most comfortable teaching, specifically middle school and high school level math and beginning to intermediate Mandarin. That being said, I would be uncomfortable tutoring an absolute beginner in Mandarin because I believe pinyin and tones are best taught by a native Chinese speaker. In addition to math and Chinese, I would enjoy tutoring writing and English. Outside of academics, I have a number of hobbies. I love doing ceramics and have been taking classes since I was eight years old. I mostly do hand-building and have gone through a number of phases. When I was very young, most of the ceramic sculptures I made were dragons because I was obsessed with them. When I first began studying Chinese in high school, I made ceramic tiles with Chinese characters on them. Most recently, I have been making ceramic lotuses and sunflowers. Origami is another craft I enjoy. It is a fun, relaxing, and portable activity as folding paper can be done virtually anywhere.

I'm a recent college graduate living in West Philadelphia. I graduated from Oberlin College in May of 2015, where I majored in Environmental Studies and minored in Politics. I love to play music, dance, make art and play basketball with my friends. I'm passionate about youth education and mentoring and I think everyone deserves the opportunity for a quality education. I have been tutor with Varsity Tutors for over a year, and volunteered as a tutor with the National Honor Society and Let's Get Ready - an organization that offers free SAT-prep for underserved youth. I love to tutor in social studies, humanities, and life sciences, and have a lot of experience in tutoring for AP and SAT tests. My basic outlook on education is that 1. Everyone is intelligent and capable of learning 2. People have diverse interests and passions 3. Everyone learns in a unique way. If we spend our time following our passions and figuring out what learning style works best for us, than our education can be transformative. One of the primary problems of our education system is the lack of individualized learning time, and personal relationship building between teacher and student. I think we tend to use a one size fits all approach with education because our schools and teachers don't have the time or resources to respond to the needs of every student. I believe that 1-on-1 tutoring, mentoring and education is essential for developing learning practices that are effective for you. I'm excited to work with you!

I am an experienced tutor and teacher in a wide variety of subjects who specializes in student-centered, personalized learning.

I am a graduate of Oberlin College (BA), Case Western Reserve University (PhD-STEM and MS-Engineering), University of Illinois at Chicago (MPH- Epidemiology) and Clayton College of Natural Health (ND). I was a pre-medical student and received my Bachelor of Arts in Communication Theory with a focus on neurological speech disorders associated with brain injuries. Upon graduation, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to integrate my studies in communication theories and the sciences as an environmental scientist and engineer working for the power industry focused on understanding than designing engineering systems to minimize the impacts of environmental pollution on public health. I eventually received a graduate scholarship from the Society of Women's Engineers to complete my Master of Systems & Controlling Engineering degree from Case Western Reserve University.I have always been committed to helping students and started tutoring in college and throughout my career as a professional engineer and scientist before transitioning into full time teaching at the university level.I also created engineering/science/mathematics programs between NASA, Oberlin College and Case Western Reserve University for students who could work with me and or get support in their academic endeavors with my assistance.I am also a published author of several books that have focused on an historical interdisciplinary examination of environmental health inequalities in the USA and globally. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Environmental Science, Public Health, Mathematics, Engineering and History.In my experience helping struggling students who are afraid of science, math and engineering has been very rewarding. I am a firm proponent of accessible STEM (science, technology, environment, and mathematics) education, believing it to be necessary for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this appreciation to all my students since their everyday lives are impacted by STEM concepts and developments. In my spare time, I enjoy walking the talk as an environmentalist. I love gardening, developing certified backyard bird and butterfly habitats, reading, playing board games, and taking daily walks in the local forest preserves.

With each of my experiences working with children my passion for education has grown. I first came to Austin to work with a Spanish literacy intervention program through Americorps called A Community for Education (ACE). After my service with ACE I taught at a dual language (Spanish-English) school for five years. I taught kindergarten, first grade, and second grade in math, reading, writing, and science. I am currently a graduate student pursuing my master's in speech language pathology, which I plan to practice in the schools. I believe the care and attention of teachers for students is integral to the development of a healthy, happy child. I enjoy getting to know the children I work with and watch their personalities and minds develop.

I graduated in May of 2023 from Oberlin College. I received a bachelor's degree in Africana Studies, with a minor in Writing and Communication and a concentration in Journalism. Ever since my time at John F. Kennedy Catholic School, I've been passionate about teaching students. While there, I taught other high schoolers (primarily grades nine and ten) in the subjects of English, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, and Geometry. During my time in college, I tutored elementary and middle school students in the subject of math through the "America Counts" program. I also worked as a Writing and Speaking Center Associate in college, assisting my fellow students in editing and proofreading their papers, resumes, cover letters, and even public speeches. My favorite part of teaching is the moment when a student finally understands a concept, and I see the subsequent joy and relief in their eyes. In my spare time, I enjoy walks, writing poetry, journaling, bowling, and watching anime.

Hello! I'm Abigail and I'm a recent graduate from Oberlin College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry, with a concentration in Pre-Med studies. Since high school, I have a passion for teaching a variety of subjects. During high school, I tutored at Kumon Math & Reading, teaching students math from the very basics to tackling Calculus and Linear Algebra. While a student at Oberlin, I was selected to TA for challenging introductory STEM courses, such as Organic Chemistry, Biology, and Chemistry. Aside from my interest in the sciences, I explored my passion for Russian Politics, Culture, and Literature. I traveled to Russia several times to work on journalism projects and was published in the Oberlin Review for my work in interviewing notable activists and researching grassroots movements in Russia. While in Russia, I taught English for children of migrant families, and in Istanbul, Turkey, I continued my ESL teaching for Syrian refugees. I especially love tutoring students topics in Biology and Chemistry, and I believe that with guidance and dedication, anyone can succeed in STEM and learn to appreciate the sciences.

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.
