Algebra Tutor • +45 Subjects

I'm a senior undergraduate at Yale University studying biomedical engineering and will be starting my Ph.D next year. I was born and raised in Philadelphia and have travelled to a few other countries through study abroad programs and international conferences. I've been to China several times and love to practice my Chinese with others!I love to teach math and science and have served as a math tutor during high school and engineering tutor for two college courses. Some of the most fundamental mathematics to understand are algebra and calculus, so I always seek to tutor these subjects as well as any others in which I am proficient.I enjoy playing musical instruments, including guitar, bass, drums, and clarinet. I also like to powerlift and am always open for a long adventure in the woods!

I enjoy seeing students grow in their education and become successful in topics that were once very challenging for them!

David

10th Grade Reading Tutor • +62 Subjects

I was born and educated in England where I majored in Education, English and Classical Music at The University of Durham (UK), Sunderland College of Education. I also studied at The Royal School of Music (UK). I am widely traveled and have lived and worked in several countries.As well as many years in the classroom, I have extensive experience in education administration and in the corporate arena. For several years, I was vice-president of an educational corporation in New York City.I have taught all aspects of English from primary school level to post-graduate level and have extensive experience in teaching ESOL (English for Speakers of Other Languages). I have been both a vice-principal of a high school and principal of a primary school as well as a Member of The Board of Education (Cayman Islands, Lesser Islands).In The USA, I have experience as a school administrator, classroom teacher (English and ESOL) and have a also taught those subjects to executives in various professions and corporations. Much of my work is also tutoring on a one-to-one basis with native speakers as well as helping foreign students.I was chosen to write the ESOL program for Cunard – White Star Lines to be taught as a study subject for passengers aboard each of their luxury ships. I was a guest lecturer on “The Queen Mary II” on several voyages.I firmly believe that there is no one way to teach. Teaching is a combination of techniques and experiences that have been attained over several years. Each student learns differently. Our responsibilities are to identify the best teaching style for the individual student and to recognize what inspires and acts as an incentive to each student. Our other major responsibility involves teaching learning skills and research skills for whatever level the student has already attained.In my leisure time I still enjoy my passion for language by reading, especially classical literature, drama and poetry. I am personally inspired by the arts in general. I also enjoy music, photography and gardening – as every native English person does.

I am a Sophomore in the CUNY Macaulay Honors Program at Brooklyn College. I began tutoring when I was in high school, where I helped elementary and middle school students with their homework. I am firm believer in the process of serendipitous learning and engaging the imaginations of students by using real world applications and connections to my lesson materials. I am interested in the development of healthy organizational & study habits as well as encouraging students to become independent and holistic thinkers. I am an avid reader and health enthusiast. My interests also include hiking, playing basketball, and learning new languages.
