Elementary School Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am a former teacher for the NYCDOE and senior tutor for the Sylvan Learning Center. I believe learning should be fun. Students should understand that there is no shame in making mistakes. When we make mistakes, that is how we learn. Even teachers make mistakes. I have a great sense of humor, so I enjoy a little levity while we study, A sense of humor takes away the tension of learning, and also it makes a "boring" subject fun. Students should be encouraged to excel as high as they desire and I will be there to help them do it.

Brianna

ACT Math Tutor • +33 Subjects

I am currently a PhD student at Syracuse University in the Special Education Department studying Disability Studies. I am dedicated to helping individuals capitalize on their strengths and figure out how to best navigate the system structures to maximize learning and possibilities for their future. I was a very non-traditional student my entire life and have learned different ways to work around that to navigate the system to get where I want to. I like to use creativity, problem solving, and knowledge of the educational system to support others. I enjoy working one-on-one with people as it allows for a very individualized approach to learning. Besides school and teaching I love the outdoors, mountains, nature, and animals. I believe in enjoying life, which also many times means finding the quickest and easiest paths to reach educational goals and being realistic in amount of time being spent studying.

Ruth

College English Tutor • +25 Subjects

I believe great writing is a learnable skill. My goal is to help each student express their unique voice while mastering the fundamentals. I have experience as a reading and writing tutor from an elementary school to a graduate school level. It is immensely rewarding to see my students excel in subjects they once feared, but what brings me the greatest joy is watching a student learn to love reading and to discover the deep satisfaction of putting their thoughts on paper.I received my B.A in Creative Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, and I was a Visiting Student in Classics and English at Oxford University. My two great passions in life are writing and education. In my life outside tutoring, I write professionally and am on the Board of Trustees of a nonprofit, early-childhood education center in Harlem, The Ricardo O'Gorman Garden.

Benjamin

ACT Math Tutor • +23 Subjects

I'm a second-year Mechanical Engineering student at the Cooper Union with a passion for math. Happy to help with Algebra, Calculus, SAT Math, and perhaps a smidge of Trig, Vector Calculus, and Linear Algebra on the side. :)I've worked in a tutor-like capacity for over two years, helping students in my high school's Learning Commons learn subjects such as Algebra, Trigonometry, and Differential and Integral Calculus. I've also worked with students studying for the SAT and SHSAT.I'd say that I'm a tutor that tries to diagnose and treat issues as quickly as possible by having the student talk through their thought processes while they work. I don't think it's particularly helpful to handhold students through the problems without letting them first take a crack at them by themselves.Looking forward to working with any potential tutees!

Sherry

College English Tutor • +14 Subjects

I am an artist, mom, editorial professional, and tutor living in Brooklyn, NY.I graduated from Brooklyn College as a Magna Cum Laude with a double major in History and Political Science and a minor in Art (including Art History). I was passionate about the social sciences, seeking out additional coursework, as well as Comparative Literature and English courses. Later, I completed a pre-med curriculum (including Biology, Pre-Calculus, Physics, and two terms each of Introductory and Organic Chemistry). This led to one (unhappy) year at NYU Dental School.I have worked in publishing, as a proofreader, editorial assistant, production editor and computer graphic designer.Later, following time as a primary caregiver with my child, I became a per diem teacher. I developed an expertise and was sought out to help with my district's gifted program and filled in for maternity leaves with two 3rd grade classes. Helping students one-on-one was definitely my favorite part of teaching! I observed how, in the group environment of the classroom, a struggling student will float through the day. Given individual focus, he/she retained more material, creating important scaffolding in their efforts to catch up to current material.During this time, I also began to build my skills as an artist bolstered by select classes at several NYC-area art schools, and a scholarship/residency with the Manhattan Graphics Center. I’ve won competitions, participated in group shows, and created site-specific pieces in Brooklyn. Currently, I'm working with an online company painting detailed miniature pendants of beloved pets. I think about what I’ve gained from teaching and want to impart to others: the balance of developing confidence and seeking out challenges, building on the knowledge and experience in your "comfort zone."Currently, I’m working as a tutor and art teacher at an after school center in Brooklyn, for grades K-2. This is largely a "gifted’ group" and my work with them focuses on homework and enrichment, with some in-depth tutoring for students with specific issues. I’ve introduced the children to origami, and it’s been very exciting to aid and observe their development. We also create pop-up cutouts, paint and draw from observation, and build sculptural objects using clay and popsicle sticks.In addition to art, my interests include exercise, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Algebra Tutor • +67 Subjects

I am currently a graduate student at Institute of Optics at the University of Rochester conducting research in Biophysical Chemistry. I recently graduated in June 2017 from the University of California - Irvine with two Bachelor degrees. One was in Biomedical Engineering and the other was in Materials Science and Engineering. With two engineering degrees, I feel comfortable working with students in all realms of Math and Science.I have experience in teaching students of all levels, in a variety of settings. Since my sophomore year of high school, I've worked as a Private Tutor. I have worked with students ranging from ages 10-16. I have private tutored students in Middle School Math and Science, AP English, AP Physics, AP Chemistry, AP Calculus.I am experienced in teaching a wide variety of subjects but, I love teaching Math classes the most. I love challenging the minds of my students and teaching them new ways to approach and solve problems. I believe that education is not about teaching students how to work through problems to do well on tests. It's about teaching them good study habits and helping them to develop a genuine love for learning.The point of education is to teach students how to become critical thinkers so that they may apply their knowledge to solve real world problems. Learning should be exciting for students; it shouldn't feel like a chore. This passion and enjoyment of learning should be applied to every aspect of life for my students.Outside of the time that I spend reading books, I enjoy spending time outdoors being active. I enjoy hiking, swimming, tennis, and running. I also have a deep interest in the arts. I love to sing, dance, and I look at the amazing photography of famous Photographers and of my good friends.

Irina

Conversational Spanish Tutor • +25 Subjects

I love to teach, and I am very patient and caring about my students: children and adults. I prefer to interact with them on a personal level, when I can give my full attention to a student and focus on what he/she needs to get to the next level. I like to develop lessons to suit the individual learning needs of each student.As a former resident of Mexico, I am fluent in both spoken and written Spanish. As a Spanish tutor, I would not only be able to provide training and educational support service, but I would also make students comfortable with the language skills they have, and try to communicate effectively with them as they master new language skills. Due to my extensive knowledge of Mexican and Latino-American history, culture, traditions, and art, I can be a resourceful guide to them on different aspects of Spanish language and culture. I know a lot of Spanish games, songs, dances, rhymes, tongue twisters, cartoons and I can make learning interesting and exciting.Russian is my native language. As a Russian tutor I can be very helpful in resolving the difficulties of Russian grammar and orthography. I'll do my best to transmit and to share my love of Russian culture, art, literature and cuisine.

With such a high demand for STEM in today's marketplace, there's a shortage of STEM education in many NYC public schools. My goal is to make a motivational impact on the minds of our youth in the same way I was motivated from high school onto college.In 2017, I graduated from the City College of New York with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and have since started pursuing my M.D. at the CUNY School of Medicine.I first began tutoring in high school through the MSPinNYC2 program, which is where I first discovered my passion to help others.Over the last few years, I've had multiple teaching and tutoring opportunities with students ranging from first grade to college, in both one-on-one and group settings. My main focus lies in biology, chemistry, and math. This fuels my belief that all students have the ability to understand and master STEM related topics!
