Hi!I'm a graduate of Norwalk Community College in CT and am currently attending RPI.I achieved an Associates degree in Engineering Science from NCC and am now pursuing a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at RPI.I was a tutor for a year and a half at NCC and the subjects I tutored were Math (low to high level), Physics, and a bit of Chemistry.I would definitely say my favorite subject to tutor is math. No matter what an individuals major everybody has to go through some level of it. So as a tutor I've been exposed to a multitude of people who I've been able to teach and learn from.When I tutor I prefer to let the students "teach" themselves. I am more than willing to help along the way but my goal is to see my students continually progress until they are self sufficient.Outside of tutoring I'm at the gym or hanging out with some friends.There's definitely more to that, so come and find out more in a session or two!

I enjoy learning and I've been a tutor for a long time at different types of tutoring venues over the years. I have bachelors degrees in chemical engineering and chemistry and a PhD in chemical engineering. I am a life-long learner. For the purposes of tutoring, my main proficiency is in chemistry, physics, math, Spanish, ACT/SAT prep, and some English. I think that tutoring is not about teaching but about learning. The student needs to be gain interest via examples, questions, and humor in order to become proficient. A combination of written, visual, and visual aids the learning; advancement occurs over several stages, but should end with the student being able to work on problems as independently as possible.

Hi! I'm Jeff, an RPI Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering grad who loves helping students understand the subjects that once challenged me too. As a researcher, I've led multidisciplinary teams, developed renewable energy technologies, and mentored students across STEM disciplines. I enjoy helping students strengthen their fundamentals, gain confidence and learn how to break down difficult concepts into understandable steps. I believe that every student can grow into a strong, independent learner.

I'm easy going, I get along with most people I meet and I enjoy helping others out. I feel that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it is, I try my best to really listen and understand the learners point of view in order to make the most out of any teaching opportunity.

I am a very motivated student who is willing to assist in your learning. My knowledge ranges throughout the STEM curriculum. Topics that I am very interested in are mainly biology-related subjects.

I studied Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and will be pursuing my master's in Aerospace Engineering at Georgia Tech with a focus on spaceflight. At RPI, I tutored for 3 years, primarily in Introduction to Engineering Analysis (statics) and Strength of Materialstwo of the most challenging introductory courses in the curriculum. Many of the students I've worked with have gone on to earn As in these courses. I have a strong background in math, especially calculus, and in physics with a focus on mechanics. I love tutoring because I enjoy helping others work hard to achieve their goals. I've taught in both one-on-one and group settings, which has helped me learn to adapt to different learning styles and refine my communication skills. My teaching style focuses on working through examples with students until they feel comfortable tackling problems independently. I encourage them to ask questions as they go, and when needed, I like to step back and revisit the core concepts to ensure they truly understand the materialnot just how to solve a particular problem. Outside of academics, I enjoy sports, weightlifting, and spending time outdoors.

I am a current undergraduate student who has always had a passion for tutoring. I have garnered over 250 hours of tutoring experience of all kinds over a period of many years. From helping elementary aged children gain confidence in their academic abilities to rigorous test preparation, I have a variety of experience with all ages and levels of students. I have always had a passion for sharing my knowledge and that is what I hope to do as a tutor.I am an experienced test preparation tutor. I have run my own rigorous test preparation classes and have proven methods to improve scores. Furthermore, I have experience tutoring high school students in Math, Science and English. I have completed Multivariable Calculus at the college level and several college level biology (currently majoring in) and chemistry courses and have taken writing intensive college literature courses. I have been tutoring geometry-calculus through my high school years and have experience in each subject in order to provide the best assistance. The same goes for my science and English tutoring capabilities.I truly enjoy the tutoring process and the ability to help students find their own potential in any subject of academia. I hope to be a good fit for any tutee and am willing to put the hours and effort in order to get improved results. I am willing to put in the effort necessary to help a student understand material and am very enthusiastic about teaching! Please contact me for more information on how I can help you, as a student, attain your goals.

I am a Junior Computer Science and Cognitive Science Dual Major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I began tutoring when I was in High School, helping both peers and students in Elementary and Middle School. I am passionate about helping others learn and become the best versions of themselves because I believe it will lead to a more functional society. While I am able to tutor in many subjects, I feel most strongly able to help with Mathematics and Computer Science.

Having tutoring for over several years now, I have gained an immense amount of teaching experiences working with students from junior high school, high school, and college both undergrad and a few graduate. I know what it feels like when someone is having difficulty in a particular subject, they often get frustrated, angry, exhausted, and stressed after working on problem sets in physics and/or mathematics for an excessive amount of time and still cannot find a reasonable solution to solve the problem. There are also times when students are unable to start. My job as a tutor is to ensure that they can fully overcome these obstacles and solve the problems with ease in a coherent and thorough manner without any difficulty. The way I go about eliminating these obstacles and difficulties that each student is facing, is by creating multiple teaching strategies. Some of my strategies involved the making of a new lesson plan detailing important concepts and terms covered in class, supplemented with examples and textbook materials. Other strategies involved the use of a step by step procedure that will help to break down concepts into simpler terms and definition until the students are able to gain an insight on how to solve the problem.To help the students engaged into the problems being discussed, I often choose real life examples and applications to demonstrate how problems of these types can be used to solve real life situations.As a graduate with a BS dual degree in electrical engineering and mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I've leveraged the skills taught to me to developed software for hardware platforms in control systems, flight controls. and electric motor machinery. Also, the skills taught to me has led me to designed hardware for sustainable energy subsystems. These subsystems are often successful because I'm able to create various plans and step by step procedure similar to the ones I used for my students, before starting the developmental phase. My interest are in Flight Controls and Applied Mathematics and I look forward in pursuing higher education in Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering in the next few years to come. I'm looking forward to working with as many students as possible and assist them with the best possible teaching strategy, so they can be the next or future generation of Doctors. Lawyers, Engineer, Scientist or Mathematician.

I have a BS from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Interdisciplinary Science and an MS from Marist College in Information Systems, both in New York. I also have a Six Sigma Green Belt and am a Microsoft Certified Professional.In addition to my work in IT I have taught at both the high school and college level. I've taught and tutored several levels of math and computer science.My mother was a teacher and so the importance of a good education was imprinted upon me at an early age. I believe that the role of a teacher or tutor is to help guide the student to discover the answers for themselves. It's not the easiest path but it's the best.Currently between IT assignments, I enjoy trivia games, movies, TV animation (South Park, Simpsons) and spending time with my new girlfriend.

The smartest thing Albert Einstein ever said, with all due respect to his many accomplishments, is, "If you can' explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." That phrase has served as the model of my education and instruction. If I know it, I can teach it. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to learn a great many things quite well enough.I have been tutoring peers and pupils in excess of 10 years. Teaching others is an activity I have naturally found to be rewarding, challenging and a lifelong pursuit. I have been helping others starting with my older brother's math homework in seventh grade, to getting friends through the AP Physics test, and finally, to this day, helping my mom with fractions while she bakes.In more recent years, I have been thoroughly engaged with tutoring during my college career. I have served as a tutor for a number of courses and subjects, both privately and in groups. I was a member of the Math Mentor program, instructing and testing multiple classes on fundamental mathematical skills. I have served as a Teacher's and Lab Assistant for several physics courses, both introductory and high level. In addition, I spent a year as a live-in Learning Assistant in a Freshman Residence Hall teaching study skills, time management, and other learning techniques.When it comes down to it, if it has to do with math, science or computers, I can help you learn it in your own way and in your own time.

I am an engineering student at RPI, I enjoy all levels of maths and sciences. I chose engineering because of my love for these subjects. I hope I can help you!!

Hi, my name is David and I'm a math tutor with a degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, one of the highest-rated engineering schools in the nation. For nearly the past two years, I have tutored both high school and college students one-on-one for many different commonly difficult classes such as high school and college algebra, AP Calculus, and Calculus 2. I can provide weekly and as-needed tutoring for almost any math course from Prealgebra to the community college level.

I am currently a first-year medical student.I decided to pursue this difficult and lengthy path only after facing several challenges along the way. Throughout my childhood and my high school career, test-taking always seemed to be a challenge. I pushed to get the best scores I could, but something was wrong. I had a lack of direction. I needed a mentor.When I had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one. We worked together for some time, but some of his characteristics were not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected an intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my success. To have a mentor that is invested in your success is a fantastic feeling. Suddenly, my motivation increased, my grades improved and I was accepted into very good colleges and programs. That was my goal. I couldn't reach that goal without my mentor. My mentor taught me more than just English, Writing, ACT/SAT, he taught me humility, determination, and confidence. For these reasons, I am still in contact with him today.As a tutor-- mentor-- I will help my mentee achieve their goals (academic and mental). I will work with them hour by hour to the best of my ability to deliver what is necessary to achieve their goals. Education matters and your knowledge is tested through your scores, so they matter. The only way to win is through effective collaboration, mental determination, and hard work. I want to work with my mentee to figure out what I can do for him or her.

I recently earned my PhD in Science and Technology Studies from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I studied the politics of environmental remediation at the Hanford Site (where the US made plutonium for weapons until the late 80's). It's a dangerous site. It's also dangerous to ask any graduate student about their dissertation, since we can go on for longer than the half-life of plutonium. Don't say I didn't warn you!I am not only obsessed with things that glow in the dark. I am also fascinated with the social sciences, history, literature, philosophy, and writing. My M.A. is in anthropology, and my B.A. is in Sociology. When I tutor, I work hard to help you figure out why all of these subjects are worthy of your passion and effort.I have taught first-year college students, as well as worked individually with thirteen undergraduates to plan, write, and revise their senior theses. My students have included undergraduate social science students as well as those pursuing engineering, science, and business. I have participated in environmental research programs with high school students, and helped to train student activists in places as different as Pullman, WA and Atlanta, GA.I'm excited to work with you, too!

I'm an undergraduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying Electrical Engineering.

Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.
