I love teaching students the beauty of mathematics and science! For the past five years, I've tutored students at the high school and college level. Subjects taught include Chemistry, Physics, Calculus, Trigonometry, Algebra 1/2, Pre-Algebra, Pre-Calculus and SAT Math Prep. I'm eager to help you succeed!

I am a Garifuna American from the Bronx, NYC. I graduated from Allegheny College in 2014 with a dual degree in Psychology and Spanish. I am currently a PhD track graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin in the Spanish and Portuguese department. My focus is on women and their identity formation on the Caribbean coast of Guatemala. I have had experience preparing lessons, editing papers, and teaching college student as a Teacher assistant. I love the idea of tutoring because I get to interact one on one with students. I hope that students learn as much as they can from my lesson and hopefully I learn from them as well. I see tutoring as a give and take between the student and tutor.I focus on the oral history and traditions aspect of anthropology along with aspect of ethnography. My job will be to guide you through the reading and understanding of the work researchers do in various communities. There will be key vocabulary words and concepts that might require further independent research if the student is interested.I have been studying Spanish for seven years now. If the student wishes we can focus on different aspects such as grammar, literature, writing, reading, speaking and or listening. I will leave it up to the student to decide where they think they need more help. I am happy to do a little of everything as well.

I have a PhD in language and literature from Kent State University. I have an MFA from the University of Michigan and as both a writer, theorist and part-time faculty member suffice it to say that I am fascinated by all things pertaining to language.

I am currently working towards my Masters of Arts degree in Literary and Cultural Studies at Carnegie Mellon University. Some of my current interests are postcolonial studies, literary journalism, and memoir writing. Before attending Carnegie Mellon University, I graduated from Allegheny College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in English Literature. At Allegheny College I primarily focused on Gothic and Victorian literature, postcolonial theory, representations of animals and the environment in literature, and poetry composition. In addition to my educational experience at Allegheny College, I also had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with one of my professors on a co-authored paper titled "Shakespeare's Starlings" which will be available in this November's edition of "Environmental Humanities"! I tutor literature-related subjects ranging from High School English to College Essay Writing, as I am most passionate about this wonderful field, and eager to use my academic experiences to help students connect and engage with meaningful texts in a more enriching manner than is typically fostered by a traditional classroom setting, where ample time to discuss the richness of cultural works is so often cut short. Additionally, I love helping students develop thoughtful and original analyses of various literary works, because working through analytical and cultural problems improves critical thinking skills, encourages creativity, and promotes the ability to communicate effectively both verbally, and in a written format. Finally, I am deeply committed to helping students in any field excel at essay writing! I absolutely love editing papers, and I take a very hands-on approach in doing so by encouraging students to read their papers aloud with me in order to mutually identify and discuss any grammatical or logistical errors. It is very important to me that students leave a tutoring session understanding why they are correcting errors, not just how to, so that they fully grasp how to preemptively identify similar problems in future papers that they compose. I have seen considerable success using this technique, and most people I've worked with have advanced their writing by two letter grades after working with me three to four times. While I am most passionate about tutoring students working on essays in the fields of English and Literature, I have written in a wide variety of styles including: book reviews, computer science write-ups, data stories, literary journalism pieces, historiographical essays, memoir pieces, research proposals, personal statements, poetry, philosophy essays, satire, science reports, and more! Essay writing can be fun, engaging, and rewarding when approached in the right way, and I strive to bring the enthusiasm and love I have for this essential skill to every tutoring session I conduct.

It has been said that, If you can't explain something simply, you don't know it well enough. In my experience as a longtime student, I have found this quote to be accurate. My strength as a tutor is that I have the ability to break down complex ideas and language into as simple a package as possible. Both as a successful student and in teaching I have found myself to be adept at using this particular skill.I graduated from Allegheny College with a BA in English and a minor in Economics. I have always enjoyed learning and have a passion for sharing my knowledge with others.As an tutor, my favorite subjects to teach are Algebra and English. I consider those skills to be the building blocks of a solid academic foundation for High School and beyond. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading whenever possible, especially fantasy and science fiction novels. I also am an avid board game player, from Chess to Settlers of Catan.

I graduated with a BA from Allegheny College in 2019 with a double major in English and Theatre and a minor in Education Studies. While I was at Allegheny, I was a tutor for the America Reads program where I was a classroom tutor in all subjects for a 6th grade class for all 4 years. I then graduated from Pitt's MAT program in 2020, and earned my English 7-12 Teaching Certificate,and completed my student teaching in an 8th grade Language Arts class. This year, I have been a long term substitute in a 6th grade English class for the entire school year. I also have experience tutoring for SATs and up through 8th grade level math. My main interests are in English and Literature, but I also enjoy Theatre and Drama, skiing, traveling, and knitting. I would describe myself as energetic, hardworking and friendly!

I am passionate about helping students gain confidence in reading comprehension, writing, history, elementary/middle school math and governance subjects. I believe in a patient approach to learning where student needs are the priority, and working on advance step by step through their educational goals is important for long term growth.

From a young age I knew I was destined to teach. I have always enjoyed reading, writing, and learning in any context and have a desire for knowledge.Upon graduating college, I decided that my passion and career path would center around learning and passing on the knowledge I have acquired from my schooling, work, travel, and general life experiences.Taking a non-traditional path, I began my career in education by teaching English as a second language in South Korea. I broadened my horizons both professionally and personally over my time in the country.Upon returning to the United States, I followed a more traditional path by entering the private sector by accepting a position in the loan department at PNC Bank. After only a few short months, I was appointed a trainer and mentor to new employees, restarting my teaching career in an unusual way. Passing my wisdom onto other employees every day reignited my passion for teaching.Since leaving the bank, I have being pursing my dream as an educator. I have tutored 1-on-1, taught classrooms of both adults and children, and even enjoying training my dog, Shiloh, away from work.I will use my experience, education, and enthusiasm to help you along your academic journey. Every session, I will give you 110% to help reach your goals, and we will have fun along the way.

I graduated Allegheny College with a B.S. in Political Science and Computer science in 2014. Since then, I have worked at Citigroup and Brooklyn Law School as a programmer.

I graduated from Allegheny College with a BS in Chemistry last Spring. I am very passionate about chemistry and will begin working for my PhD this fall at the University of Maryland. In the meantime, I am excited to be back in Manhattan to tutor students in chemistry, biology, physics and mathematics. I have had a love for math and science for a long time and believe that the problem solving skills needed to crack these subjects are critical for students looking to be successful in whatever field they choose to pursue. For this reason, I push my students to not only master the material, but also teach strategies to recognize problem structures that will help them tackle new material in the future. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer and traveling. I have spent a good deal of time in South America and am always looking for excuses to return. I truly enjoyed tutoring students in chemistry during college, but as a graduate of Beacon High School in Manhattan I am excited to be back in the City and working with New York's next round of science and math enthusiasts.

I am a current PhD student in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Boston University. I moved to Boston in 2013 to pursue research with the Belfer Institute at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute after graduating with a B.S. in Biology and a minor in French from Allegheny College. Outside of my PhD work, I am an avid skier, runner, traveler and beach goer. My experience as a teacher spans from my responsibilities as a graduate teaching fellow in Instructional Biology at Boston University and my role as a research mentor of undergraduate students. I firmly believe that an effective tutor should be passionate, engaging and patient, as well as cognizant of the individual learning style of their student. As a strong visual learner myself, I appreciate the importance of tailoring individual lessons to complement a student's strengths. I am excited to work with you to achieve your academic goals!
