I am a premedical student majoring in biology and psychology attending Union College in upstate New York, as part of the 8-year combined "Leadership in Medicine" program with Albany Medical College. Since as early as elementary school, math has been my favorite academic subject, and most of my tutoring experience has been in tutoring math. I enjoy math of all kinds, from algebra to geometry to higher-level mathematics like calculus and statistics, and I find the problems to be like fun mini puzzles where there are different strategies to arrive at the correct answer. I hope to use my skills and experience with math to help clarify confusing concepts and give students the tools they need to solve complex problems. Outside of math, I am also proficient in essay editing and test prep (SAT, ACT, PSAT, AP). I have worked as a college admissions essay editor for over a year and edited essays for students who were accepted to top schools like CalTech, Northwestern, and Northeastern. I would be happy to share editing samples upon request. On both the SAT and ACT exams, I scored in the 99th percentile, with a perfect score on my ACT. It would be a rewarding experience for me to play a part in helping you maximize your academic potential.

I have always loved math and helping people grow skills and gain confidence with their math studies. If any students are in the Brick, NJ area I am still willing to do IN PERSON TUTORING.
Hi! My name is Jenna and I just received my masters in education from Clarkson University, specializing in 7-12 English. Currently, I am in Mexico City nannying for a family and working on my Spanish as well (I intend to become certified in teaching Spanish when I come home).Thus, I am qualified to teach English (reading, writing, grammar, etc.) and Spanish (reading, writing, grammar, etc). To able to tutor is a gift to me, as this profession couples two of my favorite passionsworking with students and exploring the humanities.I have about a year and a half of teaching experience. I did a two full semesters of student teaching (adding up to one year) and I have worked for a year at an elementary school being a permanent substitute. Thus, I have experience working with students ranging from kindergarten to 11th grade.My teaching philosophy is that everyone is worthy of receiving an education. Tutoring is such a great way to ensure that this becomes a reality for our kids. Every student deserves respect, patience, excitement, and faith, and I showcase these qualities in every single interaction I have with my students. Let the learning commence! :)
I am a long-time teacher (law) and have tutored for bar review and for the LSAT. I have been an attorney since 1987. I am a former assistant district attorney, police attorney for the New York City Police Department, and agency legal specialist for the North Carolina Justice Academy. I have taught criminal procedure, constitutional law, torts, contracts, and criminal law to law students at Concord Law School of Kaplan University. I have provided legal instruction well over a thousand law enforcement officers. I have also taught law at the undergraduate level.I have a strong interest in making sure that students understand the material, and I will communicate with you to understand which learning style works best.Outside interests include animal welfare, reading, tennis, and visiting New York City, my "old home town".
I try to treat every student as a violin student -- lots of feedback and one-to-one attention, not so much lecture.I've been working in education for nearly 10 years, as a tutor, classroom teacher (I am certified in Math 7-12 in Connecticut), and developer of teaching materials.My most recent gigs have been hourly / independent contractor / free-lance, which I haven't put on my resume. I've been tutoring, mostly for the Hamden (CT) school district as a three-quarters-time job but also occasionally for some local agencies. And I've been developing materials for several publishers of math textbooks and web-sites.
Hello! I am a high school teacher of Introduction to Biology, Algebra 2 and AP Biology. I have been at my current school for the past two years, and taught at another school for two years before that. At my previous school, I taught Environmental Science and Biology. My first experience as a teacher was right out of college, when I taught summer courses in Biology and Algebra 1. I graduated from Union College in Schenectady, NY, after attending the Loomis Chaffee School in Windsor, CT. Throughout all of my education, I have always been drawn to the sciences, particularly Biology. My major in college was in Biological Sciences, with a concentration in Molecular Biology. Because of the enthusiasm and curiosity that my Microbiology teacher in high school instilled in me, I was inspired to work with students to try and turn on that same interest in science after college. My mother has taught for over 30 years, so it must be in my blood! My passion in the classroom is helping students to realize their true awareness of the natural world around them, and I use labs, visuals, models, and a variety of other methods to help them better understand the complex concepts in science. Many students come into the class thinking that the sciences are very difficult and that one must have a predisposition towards them to succeed, but I enjoy showing them that the sciences, particularly Biology, are very simple and elegant. In my Algebra classes, I try to show students how topics can expand beyond the borders of the classroom, also by using a variety of visuals and models. Sometimes, certain students need more than just good analogies and thorough explanations to help them succeed, and this often requires learning effective organizational and study skills. I frequently work with students outside of the classroom to design better ways to schedule their time, and organize their materials. In my free time, I am an avid fan of exploring St. Louis! This is only my second year living in the Midwest and I have been enjoying discovering new parks and neighborhoods whenever I can find time. I like to travel, as well, and visit friends and family on the East Coast, but I feel as if St. Louis has become my new home.
I am a student at Union College and I am studying as a pre-med student with a diuble major in Biology and Psychology. I am a member of my school's Leadership in Medicine (LIM) program, which enables me to earn a Bachelors of Sciences as well as an M.B.A. in Healthcare Management during my time at Union College. After graduation, I will automatically matriculate to Albany Medical College, where I plan to complete my four years of medical school. During my time at Union, I have volunteered as a tutor and mentor for disadvantaged elementary school students with a local after school program known as C.O.C.O.A House (Children of Our Community Open to Achievement). Working at C.O.C.O.A House taught me many lessons about teaching, patience, and how to truly listen to students when guiding them through difficult subjects. I teach many subjects that I am passionate about, such as English, History, Science, and Math. My favorite thing to do with students is have them explain concepts back to me, so that they can build up their own confidence in their knowledge and understanding of the material. In my free time, I enjoy working out, playing tennis, learning how to cook, playing video games, and reading.
I am a current Ph.D student at the University of Texas at Dallas. I received my bachelors of science in Mathematics with honors from Union College. While in undergrad, I spent all four years working as a course assistant, aiding professors with grading and coursework. I also volunteered with Girls Inc all four years, tutoring students in grades 1-5 in a range of topics, but mostly math. During the summers, I worked with the academic outreach program, as an RA and a tutor for students going into their first year at Union College. Now as a Ph.D student, I have spent two years as a TA for undergraduate students, mostly working in calculus based courses. I find tutoring an incredibly rewarding process; fostering a students growth, working closely with a few students, and really breaking through educational barriers that are difficult to tackle in a large classroom setting.
I am a current third-year medical student at Albany Medical College planning on a career in academic surgery. I received my MBA in Healthcare Management from Clarkson University and my BS in Chemistry and Anthropology from Union College. I have prior experience working with High School students in test preparatory subjects, such at ACT and SAT as well as elementary school students in reading comprehension and literacy. I am also passionate about math and science and I love working with others to help improve understanding in these subjects. My teaching style is very inclusive and involves extensive collaboration between me and the student. My main focus is on material comprehension and application of the material so that students are very comfortable answering a wide range of questions. In my spare time, I love playing tennis, snowboarding, and hiking or just curling up next to the fireplace and reading a book!
I began tutoring other students in 6th grade, as part of the Jr. National Honor Society. I continued tutoring throughout all of middle and high school, graduating in 2012 and heading to college. In college, I volunteered to tutor local elementary school students in the afternoons for one term and was later selected to serve as a lab assistant in an introduction to computer science class at my undergraduate institution. I was recently selected to serve as a teacher's assistant for an introduction to communication class during my first semester of graduate school.I received my Bachelor of Arts in English degree from Union College in Schenectady, N.Y., in June 2016. I also minored in computer science. I graduated summa cum laude with departmental honors and was elected to Union's chapters of Phi Beta Kappa and Sigma Tau Delta. I will be attending Boston University's College of Communication in the fall to pursue my Master of Science in Journalism.Outside of tutoring and school, I enjoy listening to NPR (#careergoals), reading (anything and everything!), and traveling. My most recent big trip was to the Caribbean, but I also travel within the Northeast a fair amount; I just got back from a week in New Hampshire and Boston. Before the Caribbean, I spent three weeks in London as part of a short study abroad program focused on theater.
I received my B.S. from Union College where I majored in Chemistry and double minored in Dance and Theatrical Makeup. I then received my M.S. from Boston College where I specialized in Organic Chemistry. I have been teaching Chemistry and Physical Science in public and private high school for the past 3 years. I have been doing private tutoring Chemistry since I was a sophomore in college. I particularly love showing students how what they are studying is directly related to the world around them using traditional lecture as well as interactive visuals. I truly believe every student can succeed at science and do everything in my power to instill a passion and love for science in all my students. Outside of science, I spend most of my free time reading, running or performing in various dance companies.
Teaching is my passion as I have studied for many years to receive my B.S. in Language Arts Education and my B.A. in Second Language Studies: Spanish. I have my Masters of English: Rhetoric and Composition from the University of Wyoming. Currently I am a World Literature teaching in Minneapolis, MN. I love interacting with students in a fun and creative way so that the lesson sticks with them.
