Maggie

Algebra Tutor • +23 Subjects

I recently graduated from Cornell University where I majored in Environmental Engineering. Because of my acedemic background, my tutoring strenghs are in math and science. I began tutoring in high school as president of the Math Honors Society and a member of the science honors society. In college, I continued to teach peers through Cornell Outdoor Education.I believe any student can suceed in the math and sciences regardless of gender or natural ability. Through repition, visulaization, and step by step understanding, any problem can be conquered. My goal is to help each individual over the initial, reaction of "I can't do this" to "I can figure this out." I hope to cultivate confidence and understanding in your child regardless of the topics they struggle with.

Creative Writing Tutor • +20 Subjects

I knew I wanted to be a teacher since I was in 5th grade. I graduated Rutgers University with a B.A. in History and Education (double major) and then earned an M.A. in Social Studies Education from the state institution. I also have 30 credits in middle school literacy and ELA.I have been a classroom teacher for 24 years and have taught from 2nd grade through college. I currently teach high school social studies. I have experience in World and US History (I and II), APUSH, Sociology and Law and Society.I love showing students how interesting (and fun!) history, reading and writing can be. I truly believe every student has great potential in something and its a teacher's job to help draw that out.When you tutor with me, you will discover your strengths, work on developing your areas of growth and learn to love learning!

Hari

Accounting Tutor • +56 Subjects

I have spent a majority of my life within an academic environment. Along the way I have acquired a BSBA in Finance and Marketing, a Juris Doctorate, and a Masters in Business Administration with concentrations in Finance and Management. I have worked with several banks ranging from investment to commercial. I have studied financial compliance. I have passed the Florida Bar Examination.I believe in tailoring academia to a specific student(s) needs, strengths, weaknesses, and requirements. Each subject is different, and no two students are alike. Mastering subject matter can be accomplished in several formats, not simply the most commonly used method. A strong foundation and thorough understanding of basic concepts permits the creation of an efficient pathway to more complicated material that can be easily comprehended at each stage.I have recently stepped away from the private sector in an effort to give back to the community that gave so much to me. I volunteer regularly at various organizations. I teach yoga. Now, I have determined that reaching back to my roots in the academia and sharing the knowledge gained can make all the difference in a student's education and enrichment.

Brett

Algebra Tutor • +4 Subjects

I'm currently a part time stock trader and SAT prep (math) instructor.I went to NC State for my degree in Statistics. Statistics is the science of explaining complex numbers/data into easy to understand language and I'm proud to say I refined that skill to a expert level. This has shaped the very way that I think about things in everyday life. I'm actively aware of language that might be misleading or lack specificity, which will undoubtedly benefit students learning new ideas. I particularly enjoy tutoring principals of Statistics, as its widely dismissed as "too hard".

Medha

ACT Writing Tutor • +32 Subjects

I am currently an undergraduate student in the School of Engineering at the University of Virginia (UVA), and an alumnus of Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology (TJHSST). I plan to major in Computer Science and minor in Economics. The very first time I got involved in tutoring was in middle school where I participated in a program called Homework Helpers. Since then, I have taken up multiple tutoring/teaching opportunities. For the past 3 years, I have been a teaching assistant at Manabadi, a Telugu school, where I help students learn to read, write, and speak Telugu. Recently, I taught a group of elementary and middle school students the basics of Java (a programming language). While I am open to tutoring a wide range of subjects, I am most passionate about computer science, math, and economics. Through tutoring, and being tutored myself, I have learned that enthusiasm, patience, time management, and relatability are some of the most important qualities of a successful tutoring session. I hope to incorporate these qualities to make every tutoring session a comfortable environment to learn, ask questions, and make mistakes.

Spencer

Algebra Tutor • +11 Subjects

I'm an experienced individual who loves to see people meet their goals. With 7+ years experience in the Marines, I have learned unique life skills and understand the nature of difficult circumstances. I am currently attending college at the University of Texas at San Antonio for Civil Engineering.Learning has not always been a walk in the park for me. Coming out of the military I had to reteach myself a lot of the skills I learned in high school; because of this, I can better relate to students who are having difficulties with course subjects. By tackling subjects with a multi faceted approach, and proper guidance, I believe any student can achieve his or her academic goals.I am especially interested in mathematics and the physical sciences and love helping those who struggle in these areas. In my off time I like to lift weights, play basketball, and read life enriching material.

Brandie

Comparative Literature Tutor • +29 Subjects

I am a teacher with a highly qualified license. I am currently teaching 5th grade accelerated students. Teaching is a great passion of mine! I am truly inspired by being a part of the academic and personal growth that students experience; it is priceless! I have experience in working with accelerated G.A.T.E (gifted and talented) students, as well as students who are struggling below grade level. I strongly believe that many students simply need a different perspective when trying to understand certain concepts. Whether it may be fractions or literature, I am trained in advancing my students to reach that next level within their learning process. My goal as an educator, is to guide students in determining their strengths and weaknesses and to coach them on self-discovery, so they may find ways to improve!

Jim

Algebra Tutor • +9 Subjects

I have been a math teacher for 10 years; I love math and I love teaching!I totally get it: for most people, the end-goal of studying math isn't to become a mathematician or to fall deeply in love with division and derivatives.For most people, math is just a tool that they need to use (or study) to achieve a goal (becoming a doctor) or to accomplish a task (figuring out how much paint you need to paint that funny shaped room).So, I don't expect my students to love math because of its inherent beauty. They might, who knows? I just want to help them use math to achieve their own goals.
