Award-Winning Tutors from Columbia University in the City of New York

I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor's in Chemical Biology and have a Masters in Chemistry at Columbia University. I have over 5 years of STEM tutoring experience and 1 year of teaching experience as a graduate student instructor. I have worked with students of all grade levels in various settings. This includes different sized groups from one-on-one to larger classes as well as virtually and in person. I love science, biology and chemistry especially, but math is a close second. My approach to learning is holistic, and I look beyond the grade to making sure that a strong understanding of the subject is achieved. Outside of school, I love listening to music, playing video games, and enjoying the outdoors.

I am a Physician's Assistant student at Rutgers University. I completed my first Master's degree in Human Nutrition at Columbia University. I have tutored all throughout high school and college in various subjects, including the SAT, the sciences, math, English, and the GRE. I am an advocate of making learning fun and helping other students build a good base in understanding and comprehending material that they can take with them into all other aspects of their lives!

I am a current graduate student at Columbia University where I am earning my Master's of International Affairs. I grew up in Texas, but live on the East Coast. After graduating with my undergraduate degree, I worked in DC as a political pollster and consultant for five years. Afterwards I moved to New York and began to focus on Russia and the post-Soviet states as my academic interest. I have also been able to travel extensively to places such as Spain, Portugal, Germany, Armenia, Nepal, and many other countries. I have helped with translation, ESL tutoring, and have tutored adults and helped them improve essays. On top of this, I have also served as an Editor for our Journal of International Affairs. I have traveled extensively, and enjoy windsurfing, Russian Cinema, and football (soccer).

I am a graduate of Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health, where I obtained a Master of Public Health (MPH). Previously, I had been a verbal SAT, PSAT, SSAT, ISEE and GRE Senior Tutor working for Inspirica, Inc. in Manhattan. I loved the job. I tutored in the New York City area, as well as nationally and internationally.I was promoted to Senior Tutor because my students had the highest overall score increases, as compared to the students taught by my fellow verbal tutors. As a Senior Tutor, I taught newly hired tutors the best strategies to help their students achieve the best possible score results. There's nothing better than to see a student achieve scores higher than they had initially imagined. I am also a very accomplished writer. I can help to brainstorm and edit a college application essay, a master's thesis, or a dissertation.As a standardized test tutor, I have an interactive tutoring style. Once I teach the strategies I usually don't answer content questions, but instead, I ask a lot of questions to encourage my students to think for themselves. I always remind them that I will not be there on test day. That said, it's very important for me to be a supportive, fun, and engaging teacher. I look forward to tutoring sessions and try my best to make sure that my students do as well.Since receiving my MPH, I have been writing a full-length musical The Moving Sky. I have been a professional, published songwriter for a long time and it gives me great joy. In addition, I enjoy swimming, playing trivia games, being outside, and watching foreign films. I'm also a member of Mensa.

I'm a current undergraduate student at Columbia University majoring in Biology. I believe that achievement comes from self-motivation, dedication, and, most importantly, a little bit of fun along the way. I look forward to working together to achieve your goals!

I have a BA in Chemistry from Yeshiva University and recently finished an MA in Chemistry from Columbia University. I was a TA for organic chemistry lab/lecture and have done a bunch of other tutoring as well. Obviously chemistry rocks, but I also enjoy tutoring SAT and GRE math!

I am a PhD student at SUNY Downstate Medical Center studying Molecular & Cellular Biology. I graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Biochemistry. I love to teach, mostly because of the impact of great teachers throughout my academic career. I think learning can be really fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get on an arbitrary test.

College undergraduate studying Chemical Engineering at Columbia. Tutoring in AP Physics (1, 2, C), AP calc (AB & BC), first year college physics and math. I'm bilingual; my first language is Spanish.

I am a graduate of Columbia University in the City of New York with a Bachelor's Degree in U.S. Regional Studies. I specialize in editing, English language acquisition, psychology, sociology, Early Childhood Education, and test prep.I have taught Pre-Kindergarten and second grade at the KIPP Infinity charter school in Harlem, New York. I have worked with teachers who are certified by the Waldorf School, and their teaching philosophies and methods have largely influenced my own. These include, but are not limited to: student led questioning and analysis, frequent use of songs and poetry, and critical explorations of our knowledge at the end of lessons.I have also taught under Common Core requirements, and am familiar with introducing a variety of methods to students and helping them find that which works best for their level of understanding.When not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy dancing, political blogging, and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm a native of Houston, Tx, and am elated to be back home.

I am an Ivy League educated native speaker and I have been teaching Spanish at the college level for over eight years. I have also taught Spanish for business for small groups of professionals and tutored children. I concentrate on developing fluency, not in grammar. Grammar is a tool, and not the end, when learning a language. All elements of grammar a students need to succeed at school will be covered, but we will take it a step further. You will not only understand how the subjunctive works, but you will also learn how to use it. Lessons will always be tailored to the student's needs and goals. You and I, we will work together to get you where you need to be.Hasta pronto!

In 2011 I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Visual Arts and Pre-Medical Studies. Coming from an underprivileged background, I could never imagine this being a possibility, but because of the support and encouragement of many of my teachers, I was able to see the potential they saw in me. They showed me that learning can be pleasurable and that success comes with determination where theres a will there is a way. I aspire to one day be a pediatrician. I want to not only provide help to children in need, but serve as an example to my community.During my undergraduate experience, I tutored Physics and Calculus both during summer sessions and during the academic year. I have tutored in groups and individually. I have previous experience tutoring various levels of different sciences, math, and Spanish.I think learning should always be fun and enjoyable! When it comes to tutoring, I always try to engage the student in the problem as much as possible by presenting the subject matter in various ways. Ill relate problems to tangible real life situations so that it is easier to understand. By teaching students to draw pictures, highlight important information, and memorize catchy and easy to remember phrases, I feel that my students have benefited from my teaching style.I make it a point to make sure the student truly understands the questions presented and that theyre not just memorizing a series of steps without comprehension. I ask them many questions when tackling a problem, stressing that Im there to fill in the blanks and help them improve in the subject Im not there to give out the answers. In my opinion the most important thing about tutoring is to be as encouraging and patient as possible. I tell my students to always stay positive and not to be clouded by frustration.I love tutoring; it fills me up with joy when Ive made learning easier for someone else.

I am a recent graduate of George Washington University with a degree in Civil Engineering. I love teaching new students in the STEM subjects and test preparation to help them succeed.

I am a graduate of Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Earth and Environmental Engineering. Since graduation, I have been an active member/volunteer for SHPE NYC (Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers), PAWS NYC (Pets Are Wonderful Support), EWB NYC (Engineers Without Borders) and iMentor. I have previous tutoring/mentoring experience - I was a summer RA (Residential Advisor) for groups of highschool students; and most recently mentored highschool students on college preparation, including financial aid and the college application process. I am most passionate about engineering, the environment, sustainability, and Math. In my spare time, I enjoy learning, reading, meditating, running, gardening, baking, cooking, and DIY projects.

I'm a Columbia University graduate with a degree in Applied Mathematics, currently working as a quantitative energy markets consultant for Fortune 500 companies. My daily work involves navigating the energy transition through the language of mathematics, and I bring that same real-world "bridge" to my students. My core philosophy has remained the same since I began tutoring a decade ago: education shouldn't be intimidating. I love guiding students through the joy of learning and helping them realize that difficult topics, if viewed from a fresh perspective, are far more manageable than they might think. Outside of my professional work, I'm a nature nerd and avid runner.

I am a Columbia University alumna, having received my Bachelors of Science in Environmental Engineering.I had the opportunity to tutor students of all ages in New York City while working towards my undergraduate degree. I have experience helping students of all ages with homework, developing foundational skills, preparing for school exams and standardized tests, and enhancing reading & writing skills. During that time, I also ran an English as a Second Language education program for adults looking to improve their language skills.Currently, I am a middle school teacher specializing in work with English language learners, and am working towards my teacher certification with a concentration in TESOL.Stemming from my education and experience, I am deeply interested in environmental science and teaching English. Additionally, I am passionate about test preparation and developing successful writing skills for tests and college applications. Through a variety of strategies and motivational techniques, any academic challenge can be turned into a fun and meaningful learning experience!I am a firm believer in creating a comfortable learning environment that encourages a student to achieve his or her highest potential. Students of all ages deserve quality education opportunities, and I believe that tutoring is a key stepping-stone to success.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, Bikram Yoga, sightseeing around New York, and spending time with my dog. I have a very extroverted personality and love meeting new people, particularly those who share common interests!

I recently graduated from Columbia University in New York City, where I majored in Political Science and concentrated (minored) in Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies. At Columbia, I graduated with a 3.72 GPA and made the Dean's List six semesters in a row. Upon graduating, I was awarded honors for my senior thesis in comparative politics analyzing the causes of civil violence in Africa. I am now living in New Jersey for the summer and studying for the LSAT (I plan to attend law school in a couple years) before starting a corporate management position here in the fall.Throughout college, I have been tutoring to help pay the bills. I have now worked with over 60 students! About half have worked with me to study for the SAT. I have also helped many students prepare for a variety of other standardized tests, including the PSAT, the reading/writing portions of the ACT, SAT Subject Tests in US History, World History, and Literature, and AP exams in US History, US Government, World History, Comparative Government, European History, Human Geography, and English Language and Composition.In high school, I took seven AP classes and a class at the University of Michigan. I scored in the 99th percentile on my SAT, obtaining a 2260 (800 Writing, 750 Reading, and 710 Math). I also took three SAT Subject Tests, US History, World History, and Literature, and scored 800, 790, and 720 on them, respectively.I am happy to meet with students online or in-person to give them the help they need. I am available to aid students with homework, exam preparation (both standardized and in-class tests), as well as personal essays and college applications.

I have always been passionate about helping others, and one of the best ways for me to do that is by tutoring. My main tutoring subjects include math, history, and chemistry for grades 6-12, along with SAT and ACT instruction and test taking strategies.

My name is Ariana Ray; I am a third-year student at Columbia University in New York. I am a physics major, considering a minor in math, and I love to teach. Physics and math are some of the coolest and most confusing subjects out there, and while it can be incredibly frustrating to struggle through a difficult concept, once it clicks, the payoff is fantastic you get to learn one more interesting fact about the strange world we live in. My job as a tutor is to help you understand your difficult subjects so that you can begin to do well in them and, even better, enjoy them. I am a patient, but rigourous, tutor, and I am happy to work hard alongside you to help you succeed.

My goal is to create a learning environment that supplements the areas that I feel are missing from traditional schooling. I am currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at Columbia University in New York City. Throughout my studies I have noticed a strong correlation between my academic performance and my interest in a course. I think students become disheartened by certain subjects because they are not intrigued in the classroom. In school, one teaching style attempts to integrate a diverse array of student personalities to one way of thinking. This can become problematic as many students become lost at the extremities. My goal is to cater the subject to the individual so they can be motivated and successful throughout the remainder of their studies.Inside the classroom my favorite subjects are mathematics and any related quantitative learning. Logical problem solving has always been one of my strengths and I enjoy the fulfillment of finding concrete solutions. I am a strong teacher of mathematics because my understanding goes beyond the classroom since I am truly passionate about the field. Outside of the classroom my hobbies are diverse. I'm on Columbia University's Rugby Football Team and enjoy boxing and playing basketball when I have the time. I believe a well-rounded life is very important to success. I cherish the time I get to socialize with friends or go to concerts. I believe my outgoing nature allows me to create an inviting environment for all of my clients where we can learn together as we learn about one another.

A little about myself: I'm a playwright living in Brooklyn, sticking to tutoring and other flexible work because it gives me the time and space need to work on my writing. I attended Columbia University as an Anthropology and Theatre major, and focused on writing while I was in school. After getting my BA, I stayed in New York! I've been tutoring here ever since I came to college, and generally stick to the humanities: English, history, literature, sociology, anthropology, and other analytical subjects. However, I'm also comfortable tutoring biology, since it's been a passion of mine since high school!I work with all ages, from elementary school to underclassmen in college, and my biggest priority is the student. Tutoring is far and away my favorite thing to do as a freelancer. Teaching - discussions, exercises, personal discoveries, and interesting thoughts - all of it is exciting to me, and gives me a mental boost that actually helps my writing! I find an easy rhythm in organizing lesson efficiently, and I pride myself on my ability to keep track of what's asked of me and how I can best put my efforts to use helping my students. I also love forming long-term relationships - I've been tutoring one family for more than 6 years, which is exactly how long I've been in New York!Outside of tutoring, I do a lot of yoga, work in theatre, hang out with my cat, and drink a ton of green tea! I also love to talk long, crazy nature walks, and I love hanging out in museums and parks and other hubs of activity in New York City. Always looking for the next fun thing!

I'm a writer and teacher who just moved back to New York from Colorado. I received my BA from Columbia in 2012 (I studied creative writing), and I graduated from the fiction MFA program at Colorado State University in 2015. I have three years experience teaching English at Colorado State University, where I created my own curricula for my composition courses and worked extensively with my students one-on-one. I have additional experience as a writing center tutor and an editor, the latter for the Columbia Spectator and the Colorado Review. Outside of the classroom I've received two fiction fellowships - one from the magazine "A Public Space" and the other from the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown, MA.I love teaching and tutoring students of all ages. I believe a good tutoring relationship starts with an understanding of the student and his or her goals. I know going in that anyone I work with will necessarily be an expert on something that I know little about, and I try to carry this knowledge into the tutoring environment: we must understand each other as equals working toward a shared objective. I am here to help people become better readers, writers, and test-takers because those are my particular areas of expertise, but a good tutoring relationship must be free of condescension. I believe students should enjoy the work, increase their comfort with the work via low-stakes assignments, and take breaks. I hope to help students find a way to be engaged with the subject at hand, particularly because writing often affords more creativity and freedom of choice when it comes to subject matter. I look forward to working with you.

I'm a recent Columbia grad majoring in economics and film who's passionate about bringing the exciting classroom experience to the online learning format. I love economics and all the math behind it as well as the visual language of film and the humanistic touch of it. I believe in expanding the students' world by teaching not only facts and theories but the implication behind them in addition to sufficient application practice. I want the students to foster intellectual curiosity as they delve into a particular subject. Born and raised in Beijing for 18 years, I can also teach Chinese and the rich culture around it. I'm also experienced in test prep and would love to help students get into their dream college during this unusual time.

I am currently a student at Columbia University pursuing a master's degree in Statistics. I am very passionate about math and statistics, and I have found that teaching students is another passion. I graduated from Bentley University with a degree in Actuarial Science with minors in data technologies and business. I have 3 years of experience tutoring college students in algebra, pre- calculus, calculus I, calculus II, calculus III, statistics, business statistics, and probability. As an experienced tutor, I have the skills and patience needed to tailor my approach to meet each student's unique learning needs. I believe that every student has potential to excel and I am committed to helping students reach their full potential. I love working with students and seeing them succeed.

My name is Zachary and I'm an English professor and author of two novels based out of New York. I've earned my Masters from Columbia University in Writing and my Bachelors from Emory University in Comparative Literature and Creative Writing. I specialize in technical writing, creative writing, literature and test-taking.As an instructor, I design my tutoring sessions based on my students' interests. My students learn not just to write great essays, but speak confidently on and master the subjects they study. My goal as your tutor is twofold: to make you excited for each new session, and for you become a self-reliant editor and writer!

I love learning and teaching others about things that interest me. Two areas in which I have a great interest are foreign languages and psychology. I have a passion for learning languages and am fluent in both Italian and French. I love the idea that learning another language opens up an opportunity for you to speak to millions of other people in this world!I received my BA in Psychology and have experience in peer tutoring in the subject during my college years. When tutoring in Italian, French, or Psychology, I like to break down concepts into terms that are easy to understand and that incorporate examples and analogies so that they are easier to grasp. I enjoy working with students to help them realize that they know a lot more than they think they do! Confidence is a definite factor in successful learning and I am here to help both build confidence and make learning a fun and exciting activity.

I have been teaching for five years and am happy to say that I love my job more each day. I started my teaching career at a high school in Philadelphia and now teach sixth grade English and Math at a Quaker school.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Neuroscience and Behavior from Columbia University in May 2014 and have been admitted into the Rutgers New Jersey Medical School Class of 2019, where I will begin in August 2015 as I pursue my Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree.I taught health education to middle school students and also worked as a tutor for Columbia Athletics. As such, I feel very confident tutoring a wide-range of students, in both their abilities and ages. While I am confident in tutoring a wide-variety of subjects, science is my passion and I have a great love of biology. As a student, I always enjoyed learning most through examples and case studies, and when appropriate, I enjoy bringing in my research and patient experiences as a way to illustrate core concepts. Outside of academics, I was a wrestler for 17 years and enjoy sports, the outdoors, and studying history.

As an Ivy League graduate (Columbia University),I value hard work and integrity. I have been tutoring Mathematics, Physics, and Mathematical Economics for over 15 years, without counting services as Teaching Assistant in College.I completed part of my education in Europe, therefore I am also a fluent French speaker. I take pleasure in helping students excel in difficult subjects. I teach methods and organizational skills that are necessary for grasping a topic. Each student is different, therefore I tailor up my approach after diagnosis.

I am a passionate educator with over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with many different kinds of learners during my career as a public school teacher, and I understand that every student has their own unique way of growing and of mastering skills. I have experience teaching a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts and am very familiar with the Common Core and its emphasis on research skills. I especially enjoy teaching writing; I myself love to write and I teach students a clear process for approaching challenging essay assignments. Above all, I believe that learning should be meaningful and enjoyable and that any academic task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery.My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts.I am a confident teacher of test preparation skills. I provide reading and writing strategies that empower students to perform at a high level on selected-response, short response, and essay questions. I emphasize the importance of analyzing test questions and passages so that students have a clear "plan of attack" on test day.My personal interests include playing guitar, songwriting, Tai Chi, and meditation.

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University, a certified high school social studies teacher, and your next tutor!

I enjoy helping kids of all ages understand math. Tutoring my 5 kids has taught me lessons and techniques on effective tutoring. Every one is different and the goal is to get them to truly understand the basics so more advanced math will be easier.

My name is Mimi, and I'm currently a Junior at Columbia University studying Creative Writing. I love to help students improve their writing skills, and encouraging them to find their own voice. In my free time, I like to write sketch comedy, go vintage shopping, and visit one of New York's many famous museums.

Having taught students of all ages and from diverse backgrounds at the collegiate-level for over seven years, I learned the importance of building a supportive and collaborative individualized instruction. At times comprehension and excelling at a certain subject, particularly where the student may have some hesitation to the material, I encourage examining a variety of texts both literary and cultural relevant to the subject, students then make the connections and can learn behaviors and thinking skills that arise from themselves rather than from teaching directives.It is problem-solving in action and that to me is inspirational; in fact: my passion for tutoring and teaching derives from witnessing these successes.I encourage students to use their life experience and academic backgrounds to such as essays from writers, artists, and critics that function in a dialogue with each other, or not; manifestos; advertisements; blogs; popular television, movies, and music; and fashion. By broadening the idea of a “text” and by moving beyond visceral responses such as “I liked this” or “this was no good,” can be best accomplished by connecting the student's interests in the world to the material in front of them. This allows the material to be learned to dilate with the student and provides the student a respite from directly tackling the material.The subjects I like to tutor most are any that involve language: literature, philosophy, art history, social sciences, history, and pop culture.In accord with my passion for teaching, I also hold equal passion for writing and art. I hold an MFA from Columbia University, School of the Arts, completing a creative thesis, a manuscript of poetry, and a critical thesis, an academic essay focusing on the employment of poetic techniques in advertising campaigns.In my personal life I love the movies, pop culture, museums, walking, watching basketball, football, and boxing. Baseball is best seen live. But most important is spending time with my family.

I would have to say that all of my education since grade school has focused on math and science. I went to Michael E. DeBakey High School for Health Professions in Houston, Texas. It was there that I really found my niche in both science and math, where AP Physics and AP Calculus were my favorites. I later went to Howard University, in Washington D.C., where I majored in Biology, but I later discovered that I didn't quite satiate my curiosity for science. After college, I went to school part-time, at the University of Houston. While there, I completed several classes, such as Biochemistry I, Biochemistry II, Endocrinology and Human Physiology.Soon after, I was presented with the opportunity to teach at a local charter school, here in Houston. I first taught Chemistry, as a 10th grade long-term substitute and was later asked to stay to teach 9th grade Algebra. While teaching, I focused on the various learning styles of my students and played upon that constantly. While teaching, I set a new goal to continue to teach until I retire.Recently, I received a Masters of Arts in Biotechnology from Columbia University in the City of New York. While there, I continued to fulfill my love for the sciences and took several more science classes, such as Developmental Biology, Neurobiology II, and Molecular Pharmacology. After completing my last semester, at Columbia, I found that I have taken nearly thirty science classes at both the undergraduate and graduate level. I will now use all this information to teach as an adjunct faculty, in the Biology department, at a local community college. In the Spring 2013, I will teach Anatomy & Physiology I and Nutrition.Now, while tutoring, I simply wish to translate my love for both science and math to my students.

I am a passionate of knowledge and learn everyday from everyone. I am also very enthusiastic to share what I know with others. I believe the best way to learn is to share knowledge and exchange ideas. Tutoring requires patience and the beauty of it is to see the success of the students!

After finishing undergrad, I did research in the Departments of Development Neuroscience & Pediatrics at the Columbia University Medical Center. I completed my premedical requirements at the Bryn Mawr College post-baccalaureate premedical program. I am currently getting my Masters in Public Health at Thomas Jefferson University and will begin medical school at Jefferson in 2013. Having been a mentor and tutor with a handful of organizations, I am able to engage with students of all levels. I look forward to working with you!
