I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized exams for undergraduate and graduate school admission. In addition to my private tutoring activities, I was also a TA to an introductory...

...great selection of humanities courses - which are my primary interest - and the focus on critical thinking that's placed on just about everything. I believe that critical thinking is one of the most important skills someone can learn. Most of the subjects that I enjoy - history, government, political science, philosophy, etc. - are subjects that inherently deal with concepts and creations made by mankind, and thus they reflect man's imperfect nature. The ability...

...have studied screenwriting and storytelling with some of the most notable instructors and practitioners in the field. My interest in philosophy and first-order logic led me to undertake the LSAT as a personal challenge. My first attempt put me in the 97th percentile, and I've continued to study and refine my test-taking methods, treating LSAT questions like my daily crossword puzzle. I believe that learning is a process of mastering tiny skills that cumulatively add...

...Computer Systems Engineering. Before college, I was valedictorian, got 5s on a variety of AP exams and achieved a 99+ percentile SAT score. Right now I'm a web developer! My academic success is linked to the amount I studied; however, I owe the majority of it to the wonderful professors and tutors I've had in my life. They've shown me that everyone has the potential to become a top student. I've been tutoring for over...

...as a math tutor in Richmond, Virginia. I also spent a summer in Nairobi, Kenya, teaching at an all-girls school. I greatly enjoy tutoring both history (and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live. Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned...

...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,...

...as a pediatrician. For as long as I can remember, I have loved math and science. Now, as a tutor, I am extremely excited to share my passion for these subjects with other students. Though math and science can often be intimidating, I hope to show how approachable these subjects really are. Everyone can succeed in math and science if they want! In addition to teaching content, I am happy to work with students on...

...a tutor, I know that I can help my students master the SAT, GMAT, and other subjects. At Middlebury College, I pursued a Political Science major and Economics minor, focusing on international development. During my undergraduate years, I also worked in Harlem tutoring students in math, literacy, the SAT, and essay writing. After earning my B.A., I moved to California to teach at an inner-city charter school. There I worked directly with under-performing students in...

...on my Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in Education Policy. I have been a NYC DOE math teacher for the past four years, three years as a 6th- 8th grade math teacher and my last year teaching Algebra, Geometry/Trig and Health. I have taught classes ranging from advance placement to remedial, including CCT and ESL. I absolutely believe that every student can succeed in math. My approach to teaching/tutoring is building confidence through...

...(with some of the worst weather in the world) where I studied Cognitive Science and Theater. I am pursuing a career as an actor, but am thrilled to continue to flex my intellectual side and share my passion for learning with the next generation. In college, I studied Cognitive Science, not so much as a fallback career, but because I am fascinated by the subject. I succeeded in getting into Northwestern without the aid of...

...an undecided area. I offer test preparation for Regents, SHSAT, ACT, and AP Exams. Moreover, I offer tutoring services in psychology, math, English/social studies, essay editing, general homework support, and assistance with college application essays. I enjoy tutoring all of my subjects, but my favorite would have to be psychology, as it is my major and I am personally interested in it. I have been tutoring for the past three years and have found it...

...enjoy getting to know them and work hard to tailor my approach to their specific strengths, weaknesses, and needs. It's been gratifying to find that I'm able to help students discover their innate talents by being a good listener and serving as a patient, supportive, and encouraging coach as they tackle their academic challenges. It can be exciting for both student and tutor when students grasp new and difficult material and feel more confident about...

...sciences. I am planning on attending medical school next year. I enjoy learning science and plan on continuing to learn science. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, originally through a tutoring company and then unprofessionally since. I have a passion for tutoring as it is great teaching students that are driven to learn more about topics they are interested. As long as a student is willing to learn any test becomes...

I love learning myself, and enjoy making the act of learning for others a more gratifying and enjoyable experience!

...Columbia University. I enjoy sports, spending time with friends and reading. As a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics, I was the highest rated teaching assistant in the physics department two years in a row. The ratings evaluated both my content and my ability to convey complex subjects in a way that even non-science and math students were able to comprehend. As a tutor, I was very successful in improving students' grades in high school math...

...and audio engineering. I'm a New York native and attended Bard High School Early College, where I fell in love with spending a great deal of time writing and thinking about books. I've previously interned at a literary agency, where I read manuscripts all day and wrote reader's reports, and spent my pre-COVID post-graduate time working as a live sound engineer at a number of music venues around New York City. I'm very passionate about...

...and a half studying Arabic at the American University of Cairo. I had always been interested in foreign policy and the Middle East (my father was a diplomat in the region). When I returned to the United States, I worked for Exxon Mobil and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Capitol Hill before starting law school at Georgetown in 2011. While in law school, I became a much more organized and effective thinker and explainer....

...City. The basic premise of my tutoring is that I work individually with each student to pinpoint their exact areas of need. I believe that the time that a student spends with their tutor is precious and needs to be utilized most efficiently if the student is going to succeed. After reviewing the student's previous work and/or test scores, together, we set up a curriculum that works to strengthen his or her weaknesses whether that...
