Award-Winning Tutors from Fordham University

I pursued my Bachelors at Loyola University in Maryland where I concentrated in philosophy, history, and political science. Following that I pursued a Masters at Fordham University for philosophy with a focus on 19th and 20th Century German Phenomenology. I am here to teach anything from the basics of high school study strategies to advanced studies in upper level college courses.I have tutored throughout high school, college, and graduate school, with great success.When it comes to my tutoring style I truly believe that if you cannot explain something simply, then you do not understand it properly. That is why I endeavor to give the most straightforward explanation possible. I am a firm believer in contextualization - most especially in history - as it offers a broader and deeper understanding of concepts, which allows students better recall ability. I am quite easy-going, but highly effective.Apart from my foci in higher education, I specialize in persuasive writing and essay construction.When I am not actively teaching, I am actively learning. I am currently working on a research project, an unrealistic amount of do-it-yourself projects, and a book. I love playing with and training my two dogs, hiking, and reading for pleasure.

I'm currently a student at Fordham University, working towards my biology degree. I attended high school in Cambridge MA and my middle and elementary education was abroad. I have always loved learning and ever since I can remember, I taught my younger siblings whenever they needed any help with schoolwork. I was also a TA for my honors chemistry class for a semester in high school, and actively participated in teaching lessons and assisting with homework. I can teach math up to calculus, chemistry up to organic chemistry 1, biology(AP/college level), genetics, psychology, English, computer science(C++ and HS python), and more.

I am an attorney. I have tutored children for many years as I am an avid learner. Two of my own children have some learning issues and I have worked with them to achieve success. This gave me the ability to tutor other children as I have seen what works with students and what does not work. The key to academic success is confidence. Without confidence there can be no progress.I give each child the tools that they need to boost their confidence and achieve success academically

As a student myself who has used tutoring resources many times, I know the need for good teachers to help students succeed, and I am passionate about giving back these lessons the same way I was able to receive them! I have taught students of many different ages from as little as 6 years old to as old as 16/17. I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume. I approach every student as a blank slate where I do not know about their prior knowledge, and as such, I make it a point to explain everything I teach thoroughly to ensure they have a strong foundation. With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me.

I was born and raised in West Orange, New Jersey an urban city just ten minutes east of Newark. Entering prep school at the age of thirteen was a very difficult transition for me socially; as the demographic makeup of my academic surroundings switched from the inner-city to predominately suburban. Psychology and medicine have been interests of mine since I was a senior in high school, which is why I took a position as an EMT. I began college on the track for medical school, yet I always managed to keep my interest in psychology by enrolling in at least once course each semester. This pattern continued until my sophomore year, when I changed my major to psychology and decided to pursue it wholeheartedly. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was also a varsity football player for four years, playing the position of cornerback.In the spring semester of my freshman year of college, I enrolled in a course entitled Social and Emotional Development, which was a seminal moment in fostering my interest in child psychopathology. We examined different factors that influence patterns of development in children, from birth to early adulthood. Captivated by the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors, and subsequent development of or resilience against psychopathological manifestations, I began to explore future research topics of this nature.While exploring different research opportunities, I came across Mt. Hope Family Center in Rochester, NY during my senior year of college. My interest grew as I learned more about their multi-level studies examining maltreatment in children and adolescents from high-risk, low-income populations. The summer after graduation, I returned home to New Jersey and was hired as a camp counselor for males aged ten through twelve at Harbor Hills Day Camp in Mendham, NJ. This population was quite different from my subsequent experiences, as most were from wealthy families from surrounding suburban cities. Nonetheless, the experience was still valued, as it gave me further insight into the cultural differences of parenting styles in affluent populations.During the fall semester of 2011, I worked a project entitled The Me and My Family Project, and was supervised by Professor Patrick Davies. The main focus of this project was to examine why children who are exposed to high levels of family discord are at risk for developing psychological problems. The severity and chronicity of the discord, along with knowledge attained through academic courses, helped elucidate to me the robust implications associated with childhood maltreatment.In the spring semester of 2011, I was an intern on a suicide prevention program called Sources of Strength Community Research Project, which was designed to foster resiliency through supportive social relationships and networks. I was taught the importance of positive peer and adult relationships while augmenting help-seeking behaviors in adolescent-aged children. Through this position, I gained valuable insight into the feelings and cognitions of both suicidal and non-suicidal teenagers, which I would later draw upon when working with adolescents at Mt. Hope Family Center. During this time, I accepted a position as a habilitation counselor for Grace Community Services, which provides living services for individuals with mental disabilities. Through this job, I have developed the ability to work in a challenging environment with diverse individuals, while honing important interpersonal skills utilized in clinical settings, such as patience, active listening, and conflict resolution.In the summer of 2012, I was hired at Mt. Hope Family Center as a summer camp family research assistant. We conducted family recruitment visits for child participation in Mt. Hope's NIMH-funded summer camp (Child Abuse and Trauma-Related Psychopathology: Multiple Levels of Analysis). Visits were conducted both in family homes as well as at the center, and included providing a detailed description of camp, as well as allaying any logistical concerns of parents, such as time and location for pickup and drop-off. Genetics research has always been a critical aspect of summer camp, as saliva and blood samples were collected for multi-level analysis of different aspects of child and adult development, such as temperament, depression, social withdrawal, impulsivity, and mood disorders, as well as cortisol.Beginning in September of 2012, I began as a research assistant on a Study of Late Adolescent Resilience. Designed as follow-up to summer camp, this NIDA-funded research examines substance abuse in emerging adults eight years after the assessments in camp. As a multi-level study, it examines anxiety, depression, substance abuse, personality, emotion regulation, and temperament as they pertain to maltreatment. Neurocognitive assessments are used to examine attention, memory, executive planning, decision-making, risk-taking behaviors, and impulsivity. Responsibilities as research assistant were immediate, as I started on Project SOLAR from its inception. As a researcher, we were responsible for almost all aspects of study implementation, including measure and battery organization, distribution of monetary compensation, determining implementation of neurocognitive assessments, and any logistical issues of study participation. As genetics coordinator, I was responsible for implementing and improving cortisol collection protocol, as well as coordinating cortisol shipment for assay.During my time at Mt. Hope Family Center, I volunteered as a counselor for the PATHS (Promoting Alternative Thinking Strategies) Therapeutic Afterschool Program. Started in 1987, the program aims to help elementary school children (aged six to eleven) reduce violent and disruptive behavior through social and emotional learning. Collaborating with other counselors was essential in in creating effective behavior regulation strategies and lesson plans. PATHS provides an open and supportive environment for children in order to foster healthy problem solving and general life skills.In order to bolster my application to graduate school, I took Kaplan's GRE prep course and enrolled in several PhD level courses at the University of Rochester, including Intro to Clinical Research Methods, Child Development and Learning in Context ages 5-12, and Psychopathology-I. In 2015, I was accepted in the Clinical Psychology doctoral program at Fordham University, where I am currently enrolled. My research interests include examining outcomes for children and adolescents with maltreatment and trauma histories.Through experiences at both Fordham University and the University of Rochester, I have been equipped with the ability to be an effective tutor and educator of students of all ages and backgrounds. My psychological background has also allowed me to come in contact with a variety of populations throughout numerous situations. I am confident in my ability teach subjects at the elementary through high school level, as I have been a TA for two courses at Fordham University so far, including Foundations of Psychology and Research Methods. Most importantly, I am enthusiastic and motivated to work with young people, and have genuine passion for teaching, learning, and academia.

I am NYC based educator and director. During my time as an educator, I have worked with many different kinds of learners and adjusted my approach to meet the needs of the students. I have worked with students from the Bronx to Brooklyn to Minneapolis, with at risk youths, students with both learning and social disabilities and accelerated learners. I have a lot of experience working off of my students' creativity and energy. I am always responding to them and in the best moments learning alongside them.My greatest strength as an educator is meeting each of my students on their own terms seeing them as individuals with their own unique strengths and weaknesses.My work has always been centered around writing. My professional life has had me write for marketing campaigns and grant proposals. As well as being a produced playwright, I have worked with many writers to strengthen their own voice, develop structure and fine tune the nitty gritty practicals of the writing process. I have worked with novelists, essayists and poets to help them go deeper and to strengthen the mechanics of their writing.I am able to teach mechanics, vocabulary and grammar, all while helping lead the student through writing as a form of thinking and discovery. I will help any student who is working on essays, preparing for college admissions, wrestling with creative writing assignments, struggling with reading comprehension or preparing for a test.

I am excited to use my wide range of knowledge to help students succeed in whatever academic endeavor they pursue. I have a great passion for learning, and relish the opportunity to use my enthusiasm to help students learn and grow as individuals. Tutoring is ideally suited to my strengths as a teacher. I thrive in an environment where I can build a connection with a student based on trust and mutual respect. I work hard to learn about my students' unique learning styles and personalities, and adapt my teaching methods to most effectively meet each student's individual needs. I look forward to the opportunity to make a positive impact on students' lives. I have previously worked as a reading tutor at a community center in East Harlem, New York. and also taught in the US Peace Corps.

Hello! I have extensive experience tutoring students in SAT/ACT prep, AP test prep, writing and reading comprehension, and math. As a tutor, I make it my priority to focus on each specific problem while also making sure that the student understands the broader concepts as a whole. In high school I tutored my sports teammates as well as younger students who needed assistance editing and workshopping essays. I am currently enrolled as an applied accounting and finance major at the Fordham Gabelli School of Business where I'm taking business statistics and calculus classes alongside writing and economics classes. In my free time, I watch tons of basketball and football and love action movies.

Licensed CPA with years of tutoring college level students in accounting and finance topics, as well as multiple years of public accounting and corporate finance experience.

I fully believe that every student should have equal access to quality and engaging education. I believe that access to a tutor allows a student that extra assistance to help them stick out in the classroom and excel over any academic challenge. After completing my Bachelors of Science in Biology and Psychology with a minor in Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA, I moved to New York City to begin my role as a teacher. For the past year, I have worked as a high school chemistry teacher at an NYC Department of Education public school in the Bronx. I love teaching and helping students find their "ah-ha" moments in both science and math. I know that these are challenging subjects but I know that every student has the ability to be successful given the right practice and support. I am currently pursuing my Masters of Education from Fordham University. Outside of school, I love to stay active outdoors, sing, and see Broadway shows.

I am a current last year medical student, about to become a doctor. I have a bachelor's degree in biology with double minors in psychology and English from Fordham University, where I graduated summa cum laude. As a liberal arts school, Fordham required I take a wide variety of college classes to graduate, so I have a broad range of experience with college classes. I have also formerly taught kindergarten through 5th grade students as a substitute teacher. Finally, throughout college I was a tutor online for other students at my college in classes I had already completed.

I am an experienced educator with a passion for fostering academic excellence, while also being in tune with learning differences that each student brings to their educational process. I am excited to share my journey with you and hopefully provide a comfortable learning environment for your child. My experiences include: substitute teaching in ELA, history, social studies and special needs in Wake County, NC. I have privately tutored elementary students in reading and ELA and have had success with students whose processing skills are not at the classroom pace. I home schooled all of my children through ninth grade and ran an enrichment based out-of-school time program for elementary and middle school students in Mississippi. This program not only emphasized the importance of personalized learning but also cultivated an environment where students thrived academically. I had the privilege of homeschooling my children from 2nd grade through 9th grade and this experience was both immensely rewarding, while allowing me to tailor their educational content and pace to their unique learning styles. My children have gone on to excel at nationally ranked private high schools and competitive colleges despite their dyslexia. Their success and the success of the students I tutor serves as a testament to the effectiveness of my individual and phonics based teaching style. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in History from Fordham University. My academic background equipped me with a strong foundation in critical thinking, effective communication, and a deep appreciation for the humanities. I am eager to leverage my education and experience to inspire and support students in their academic endeavors. My commitment to education goes beyond simply imparting knowledge; I strive to cultivate a love for learning in each student I work with. I believe that every child has the potential to succeed, and I am dedicated to providing the guidance and encouragement necessary to help them reach their goals. I look forward to the opportunity to work with motivated candidates who share my vision of empowering students through tailored tutoring and support.

At Colgate, I was involved in the Hamilton Central School Tutoring Program, through which I was responsible for team tutoring 10 elementary-aged students in French on a weekly basis. After graduation, I worked at Hanover Research in Washington, D.C., where I worked to support student achievement by conducting primary and secondary research for school districts across the country.Currently, I am a first-year PhD student in School Psychology at Fordham University's Graduate School of Education. In the future, I look forward to working with middle and high school aged students as a school psychologist. Outside of work and school, I enjoy traveling, baking, and reading.

With patience, empathy, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning, I am excited to embark on this journey of academic growth and discovery with my students.

I have enjoyed "teaching" since I was a little girl. Through the years, I have helped my nieces and nephews with their schoolwork, science projects... I have also homeschooled my daughter during Covid, and now she is way ahead in her studies. I love spelling, reading, writing, reading comprehension, math... I have edited and proofread many of my husband's novels that he has written. I have helped elementary, junior high, high school and college aged students with numerous projects, reports, homework. I love teaching others, and I absolutely love when we achieve the results we set out to conquer. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology with a concentration in Criminology because I wanted to be a lawyer. However, teaching was always my dream and passion. This job would help me achieve my goals of helping others with their schoolwork.

I graduated with summa cum laude from the Honors Program at Fordham University with a B.S. in Psychology with minors in Political Science, Spanish, and History. I have a wide variety of past tutoring experience starting when I was quite young. For the past four years I have worked as a peer tutor through the Higher Education Opportunity Program at Fordham as well as a tutor for elementary-high school students at a private tutoring center in the Bronx. While studying in Spain last year, I was able to work as an English instructor in a bilingual high school in Granada. I also worked through the Americorps program Jumpstart! to built literacy skills in younger children. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, Spanish, and History. I absolutely love helping students improve their writing abilities from the planning stages to editing their essays. Standardized testing, while not something most students look forward to, seems to be one of the areas in which we can see the most timely and remarkable improvements in skill. I feel very strongly about education and will likely enter a PhD program combining Psychology and Pubic Policy to work on education reform next year. I hope to impart some of my own excitement about learning to all the students I have the opportunity to work with. When I'm not at work at my job as the project director on a study on sleep and academic performance in adolescents, I love to read and spend time outdoors, hiking, and enjoying nature.

My name is Roberto, but most people just call me RJ! I am currently a 4th/5th Grade Math Teacher in Miami, FL. Before this, I taught 5th Grade Math and Science in West Palm Beach, FL.

I'm a lawyer, writer, editor, and self-professed grammar nerd. I've always had a passion for writing. I was the kid in high school who my English teacher appointed to check other students' assignments (true story!). I received a degree in English from the University of Michigan and a law degree from Fordham University School of Law. In law school, I served as an associate editor for a law journal and wrote briefs for the moot court board. During my 27 year legal career, I've written hundreds of legal briefs, half a dozen legal articles, and even a traditionally-published mystery novel. I also maintain a blog on my website. I enjoy sharing my passions with others, so for several years I taught as an adjunct professor at a local law school and have worked extensively with my own two children (ages 20 and 17) throughout their educations. I take a friendly, laid-back approach to teaching, because students won't learn if they're not comfortable and engaged. Whether your needs are simple - such as general help with writing answers to essay questions or gaining a better understanding of punctuation - or more complex - such as writing a research paper or understanding how to use style guides, I can help. Plus, I've earned an editing certificate from the Poynter Institute and have edited professionally for a number of years. I can assist with all your editing needs. Finally, if you need help with legal research or legal writing, I'm your woman. I've been doing both for almost thirty years. Let me know how I can help you!

I am a dedicated teacher from New York City currently located in Spain. I received my MST in Childhood General and Childhood Special Education. In addition to engaging in private tutoring, I have also worked in private schools in the Manhattan area.I encourage my students to develop their questioning skills and take control of their learning. My proudest moments as a teacher are when a child goes home and independently researches or reads about a topic because a lesson has piqued their curiosity. In addition, school content should be both challenging and applicable to the students experience outside the classroom. Delpit argues for this dual aspect of learning that is both relevant and challenging in her work Multiplication is for White People.

I graduated Harvard in 1987, I went to Fordham for Law School, but the thing I enjoy the most is teaching. My parents were teachers, and the greatest thing you can do in the world is help someone understand things. I can help any kind of student with a desire to work do much better.
