I have been teaching young students for two years, while in grad school at Columbia University, studying early childhood education. Before starting grad school, I went to Fordham University where I mentored and worked with young students in many different settings. Overall, I have been working with children for many years and look forward to tutoring, getting to know and learning from my future students!

I am a Virginia certified high school teacher currently working at JEB Stuart High School teaching Drama. I have a strong academic background and have earned degrees from Fordham University (BA Theater, French), and the University of Tennessee (MFA Theater). I have taught students of all ages from kindergarten to high school, college, and senior citizens. I specialize in helping students find alternative paths to learning through my theater background. In addition to working at Stuart High School, I teach Art History and Public Speaking at DeVry University and have tutored students in Reading and Writing for several years. I am entering the graduate theater education certificate program at George Mason University this coming semester. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, staying active, and taking my dog, Duncan, to the park. I look forward to helping your student meet their educational goals!

Hello! My name is Angelika. I am a senior at Fordham University majoring in Biology and minoring is Disability Studies. I expect to graduate Spring 2023. I have tutored since the 7th grade and I love to help people understand concepts that they previously struggled with. I tutor in a variety of subjects but I am most passionate about Algebra, the SAT Grammar section, and the SAT Math Section. I believe that curating a unique approach for each individual is important in their advancement. Everybody is different and therefore their way of learning will be different too! This has helped many of my students raise their grades and confidence when it comes to their studies. In my free time, I enjoy watching cooking videos on YouTube and going to the gym!

I am a passionate tutor in foreign languages. I have travelled throughout Spain learning not only the official language but also the colloquial dialects that make Spanish such a unique and colorful tongue all over the world. I began my Spanish studies in grade school but became more committed to learning the language fluently at the end of high school. Now, I hold a minor in Spanish Language and Literature from Fordham University and am currently preparing to take the exam for certification in Spanish proficiency.Speaking and teaching Spanish is an absolute passion and joy of mine, and I would be thrilled to pass that passion and energy on to my potential students!

I grew up in LongIsland, NY where I played Football and Baseball for most of my childhood. I thenwent to Fordham University where I earned my Bachelors Degree in EngineeringPhysics. While I was a student, I helped run a coffee house, which put on concertsseveral times a month.After graduation in 2011, I was hired by Photonics Industries International as aLaser Engineer. I still work there today, but now as a group Manager. We produceindustrial grade solid-state lasers that are used in many applications. Most notably,many of our laser systems are used to process the glass and electronics used inmany Apple and Samsung cellphones and other electronics.I have a passion for mathematics and sciences and I have been tutoring others eversince I was in high school. I believe that I can make positive contributions to anystudent's academic endeavors.

I am a graduate of Fordham University, where I received a B.A. in History with a minor in mathematics. I have spent 8 years as an educator; seeing knowledge and wisdom imparted on the minds of others, as well as witnessing progression in analytical and critical thinking skills is a passion of mine. As an undergraduate, I taught health classes at underfunded high schools in the Bronx, NY. Upon graduating, I went on to teach high school math for 5 years in both Philadelphia and Chicago, simultaneously receiving an M.Ed. in secondary education, mathematics. Every year, my students surpassed school-wide growth goals on standardized math tests, including the ACT and PSAT.I have now returned to my home-state of North Carolina to pursue a Ph.D. in History. While I work on this endeavor, I am available to tutor Math, History, and English. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy tearing through books, stumbling through being an adult learner of piano, hiking, practicing yoga, and being in good company.

Following apprenticeship at major New York law firms (including the then largest law partnership in the world), I established a succession of midtown Manhattan law practices. Ive been on all sides of deals having represented buyers and sellers, lenders and borrowers, owners and officers. At Jamaicas national university, among other things, I delivered lectures to Bachelor of Laws students and provided administrative support as a curriculum designer and physical plant strategist.I was born and attended primary school in Kingston, Jamaica, migrated to the USA and completed prep school at Phillips (Andover) Academy in Massachusetts. My post-secondary education includes an A.B. degree in Economics from Princeton University, a Juris Doctor from Fordham Universitys School of Law in New York City, and a Certificate of Legal Education from Norman Manley Law School. Currently, I'm earning a Masters degree in Real Estate Development from NYU's Schack Institute of Real Estate.I have traveled extensively throughout the Americas, Europe and Africa spearheading capital financing search missions and other ventures. I speak Spanish comfortably and am familiar with Italian, Portuguese and French. While setting up an export company in Tanzania in 2007, I became literate in Kiswahili and continue to study on my own.

My mission is to inspire students to believe in themselves. I teach students with compassion and patience. I work towards helping students progress by meeting their intellectual and emotional needs. I firmly believe in the implementation of effective practices and fostering an environment that encourages student growth and positive results. Motivating students to be independent thinkers and apply the strategies taught to them will help them overcome challenges. In doing this, students are able to accomplish their goals. I truly enjoy working with students to help them excel and achieve their highest potential.

Hello! I am a graduate of Colgate University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. 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.

I am a current fourth year medical student at Albert Einstein College of Medicine. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Fordham University with a Bachelors of Science and double majored in Biology and History. I was born and raised in Queens and now I currently reside in Manhattan. My tutoring style is very much student-centric. I work with students to create their own personalized notes from the textbook in order to focus upon what is truly important. Then, I work with students to help them understand the central concepts. Once students understand the central concepts, the details easily follow. I also have my students work through as many problems as they can on their own. When a student has struggled through a problem and succeeds by themselves, they learn more than they possibly could through an explanation. I then work with my students on the problems they could not accomplish to show them how to best tackle it in the future. My tutoring strategy is to not only teach the subject material, but to also teach the student how to study effectively by themselves.

My higher education began at Fordham University in Bronx, New York. I attended Fordham from 1980-1984 earning a B.A. degree in English. I minored in Philosophy there as well. My education continued at CW Post University in Brookville, New York. I attended C.W. Post from 1994-1996 and earned an M.A. degree in TESOL, or more simply ESL, Teacher of English as a Second Language. During the twelve years between my undergraduate and graduate work I was a rock and roll musician and songwriter in a group called "The Chilly Dogs." My group released an album in 1987 and we toured The United States and Canada in support of the record. After The Chilly Dogs broke up in 1990, I joined a Lithuanian Polka Band called "She and the Three Amber Men," and I got to tour Lithuania, Australia, and The United States with this group. I also recorded an album with an artist called "Paleface" in 1993 and it did not sell many copies, so I decided to become a teacher as I always loved working with kids. I decided to become an ESL teacher because I myself spoke only Lithuanian when I entered kindergarten in 1967, when there was no such thing as ESL in schools yet. I got teased and harassed some by the kids that were fluent in English, and it wasn't a fun time for me for a few years until I learned English.I got my first teaching job at The New York City Dept. of Education in December of 1995 as an ESL teacher. I taught ESL for the next nineteen years not only in school. Many of the newly arrived kids knew very little or no English at all and their parents often asked me if I could tutor their kids privately after or before school, sometimes even on the weekends. Many of the newly arrived parents of the kids I was teaching also asked me to tutor them in English. I really loved my job because I felt that I was a very important part of the newly arrived students' and their parents lives. When I got to tutor I felt that I was getting closer to my kids than teachers of other subjects would. I also didn't only tutor my kids in ESL. They came to my class for ESL once or twice a day and then had to go to their other four "core" subject classes, Science, Math, Social Studies, and English. I had to find out from the other teachers how my kids were doing in their other classes, and then I had to decide how I could best help them with those classes while they were in my class. I got interested in the other subjects the kids were taking and learned a lot about them.I am able to tutor in at least ESL and the four "core" subjects my kids took and did so. I really don't have a favorite subject to tutor and don't want to sound arrogant, but I am interested in basically anything from A stronauts to Z ebras and once I get interested in some new subject, my mother was a librarian, and she can still get me books on any subject I become interested in. My dad was the Head of Engineering at Grumman and is now an inventor, and whenever I go over my parents' house I find that he can shut my car off from inside the house, and I don't know what he's exactly up to now, but my phone doesn't work anywhere near my house and he won't tell me why. He has told me that since he worked at Grumman he has had top secret clearance. Recently I punched in my last name, "Janusas" into Google, and up came a photo of a UFO in a newspaper from Brazil called "The Janusas Photo." You can try it yourselves, and you'll see what I saw. I actually printed out the article I accidentally "Googled" and made copies of it for my ESL kids for a lesson. They were extremely interested in what was written there, with my last name there, and I was quite amazed that my slightly above beginner level students were so interested in the picture and the article that all I basically had to do during that class was sit back and watch them all become team players, getting into a big group on their own. They were gleaning English words they knew from each other and after twenty minutes were able to give me a summary in English of what this advanced adult article was about.That sums up my teaching/tutoring style. The kids are just like me...If they become really fascinated and challenged by something, I feel like my job is almost done. I may have to guide or help the students or student some, but if this becomes the case, both the student and teacher are reaching their maximum potential. This kind of interest is what I strive for every time a have to put a lesson together and teach or tutor.

I'm a graduate of Fordham University where I earned degrees in both Mathematics and Music. I have years of experience tutoring students from middle to high school in all subjects, especially English, Math, and French. In my free time, I love playing and listening to music, spending time with friends, and watching Netflix :)

I originally began college with intent of pursing a degree in Mathematics but quickly decided to dual-major in Mathematics and Economics in order to explore practical applications. While I continued my studies in liberal arts, slowly but surely I developed a passion for finance which guided me beginning my career at a multi-family office advising clients in portfolio management. While working in a number of roles through my 20s, I attained my CFA Charter. It would be my pleasure to work with you on any math, econ or financial endeavors towards the pursuit of your goals.

I graduated from Georgetown University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and Government and from Fordham University School of Law with a Juris Doctor degree. I have ten years of experience as a volunteer and private tutor to high school, undergraduate, and graduate students. I have tutored a variety of subjects ranging from math and science to standardized testing, but I especially enjoy tutoring in the areas of English, literature, and writing.I believe in creating a specialized tutoring plan to address the particular needs of my student. My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style.When I am not tutoring, I enjoy reading fiction, going to the movies, and spending time with my friends and family in the sunshine.

I am a Senior at Fordham University, where I am double majoring in Humanitarian Studies and Communications and Culture. My academic undergrad research is focused on fan fiction and participatory culture. I have worked in communications with INEE, immigration casework at the Office of U.S. Senator Gillibrand, refugee resettlement with Catholic Charities, procurement with URENCO USA, and as a children's librarian assistant. This fall, I will be attending law school, with the intent of pursuing a career in immigration public policy after graduation.I believe that tutoring should be a form of empowerment for the student, giving them agency and a way to push their growing edge. Everyone has their own knowledge expertise, and tutoring is a platform for each party to learn from the other.

I'm a sociology student at New York University, and I've had 3+ years of professional experience as a teaching assistant and teaching aide for a range of elementary and high school students, primarily focused on English comprehension and literacy. I also have extensive experience in peer review and staying up to date with academic works. A strong and insightful learning experience speaks to your values, interests, and stories. I am knowledgeable and experienced in college admissions essays, general essay/writing guidance, ESL, English literacy & comprehension, and Korean conversational language learning. I'm invested in how we can accumulate who you can be!

Hello! My name is Molly, and I'm currently studying English at Fordham University with a minor in International Studies and a concentration in Creative Writing. I love literature and history, and I'm so excited to help you expand your understanding of these areas. At Fordham, I lead a storytelling initiative called Our Story aimed at providing a platform for a diverse range of student voices. I also have experience working as a writing tutor for creative, professional, and analytical writing, so I feel prepared to help you fine tune your writing and find your unique authorial voice!

I believe that everyone has the ability to excel. I help my students to do this by working with them to understand the subject deeply. I try to make it seem easy, because nobody likes learning when it's hard.

I started my career in nonprofit advocating for tort reform in the health care space, the right to prescribe for first responders, and health care reform for New Jersey State residents in 2010. A few years after that I graduated college and started a career in government with the Office of the Mayor of New York City. Here I demonstrated data driven change by working with the Office of Management and Budget to fine-tune procurement processes and spending for various programs. The following year, a position was offered to me by the New York City Police Department, to work for the Deputy Commissioner of Management and Budget. This soon turned into a position with the Police Commissioner's Office, working on neighborhood policing policy citywide. I have helped hundreds of people gain access to housing, jobs, hygiene, criminal justice reform, and affordable health care. In 2016 I was appointed by the Governor of New York State to be a local board member on the Selective Service Board in my neighborhood. By now I had traveled to China, Italy, Spain, England, the Caribbean, Canada, Mexico, and Germany, not to mention I had picked up two languages, becoming conversational in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish. Certainly, a lot has happened since I graduated college in 2013. Nevertheless, I feel like I'm only getting started.

I am a New York State Licensed Social Worker with over five years experience working with youth and young adults as a mentor, life coach and therapist.My hobbies include working out, playing sports, going to professional sporting events, cooking, and event planning.

A recent graduate of Fordham University, I have received my Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Spanish Language and Literature. I also hold a minor in French Language and Literature. I've taken coursework in every subject from computer science to film and media, and I have experience in standardized testing such as the ACT and SAT. I know that there is no singular approach to tutoring students; every individual learns differently. I appreciate this fact, and I promise to find the best approach tailored to the subject matter and your needs as a student.

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.

STEM-focused tutor and trained birth doula with strong communication, teaching, and mentorship skills. Experienced in academic support for middle school through college-level learners, early-childhood education and childcare, STEM outreach, and cross-cultural project leadership. Adept at simplifying complex math and science concepts, supporting diverse learning styles, and fostering confidence and curiosity in learners of all ages. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, exploring local parks and community farms, volunteering in educational programs, and pursuing creative science experiments.

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 a law student at the City University of New York School of Law and graduated cum laude from Fordham University with a degree in American Studies.As a tutor, I have experience with a variety of grade levels and fields of study, particularly English, History, Public Speaking, and Writing. The constant I bring to every new student is a focus on creating clear learning objectives to help them in their pursuit of life-long learning.Please reach out to me with any questions, I look forward to working with you and your student!

I'm a medical student with a bachelor's degree in Biology and a master's degree in Physiology, with extensive training across biomedical sciences. I tutor biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, chemistry, and algebra. As an instructor and teaching assistant, I use methods such as teach-back, active recall, targeted practice questions, and individualized explanations to help students truly understand complex material and build lasting confidence.

I come from an immigrant background so the stress for education is incredibly important to me. I graduated from Fordham University with a double major in Economics and History. After graduation I worked in accounting but I didn't find that line of work for me so I decided to pursue a career in law. I took the LSAT and now I am currently in the process of applying for Fall 2022 for law school.I found tutoring to be incredibly rewarding. I discovered my love for it when I had to help my younger family members as I was the oldest and I always the first to do something so I'd have to mentor those before me. I just find the best part about tutoring is when a student just gets it. When it finally all clicks.My philosophy is that I don't give up on students because I know all of them that come to me have the potential to succeed they just need a helping hand to lead them. Not everyone learns the same way it's why teachers and professors in a classroom setting can be ineffective. No one is incapable of learning.I have a passion for History and Writing but, I also really enjoy teaching the LSAT. I used to struggle with it in the beginning and I eventually grew to love the test and in turn I loved teaching the test. I know how stressful it can be but it is learnable and I intend to teach it.

Hello! I am Zach! I am excited to help you reach your educational and professional goals, whether that be in law school admissions or just acing the next test. Together, we will focus on building understanding and reasoning skills within your requested subject so that you develop the tools to tackle the big tests, essays, or just everyday participation in class on your own. I absolutely love education and the gifts it has given me, and I am excited to share and learn those gifts with you!

I have been tutoring since I was a college student. At that point, I taught high school students and helped them to excel on the SAT/ACT as well as in the various Regents exams. I graduated summa cum laude from Touro College, and now I am a graduate student working towards my PhD in history and teaching college part-time.I have had the opportunity to teach hundreds of students in a college classroom. I have really enjoyed this experience, but I have found that many smart, motivated students lack the skills they need to maintain a strong GPA in college. To address this problem, I began to focus my high school tutoring on writing and critical analysis skills, and I worked one-on-one with some of my college students. I developed a system that focuses on developing reading comprehension, organized writing, and analytical thinking.These skills enable you to succeed on standardized tests like the SAT, but also in English and humanities classes. This is also what I use to prepare students for the PSAT. Trust me, it works! Not only did I score 2220 on the SAT, but my PSAT score helped me to become a National Merit Scholarship Semifinalist.I care deeply about what I do, but I think what really distinguishes me from many other tutors is my flexibility and commitment to the individual. I work around my students' individual needs and learning styles so that hardworking students can achieve the academic success they deserve!

My love affair with language began in 8th grade when, as I read short stories, I saw how word-crafting could issue in what I call 3-D thinking. Good writing breathes sharp life into ideas, fosters synergy across them while creating new thought patterns for writer and reader. Throughout my 25 years of teaching and tutoring college students at an Ivy League university and at other local institutions guiding them through class essays, research projects, honors and masters theses, and graduate school personal statements--I always found joy in helping students discover what they wanted to sayand to express themselves coherently and persuasively. I hold a B.A. in English from Fordham University summa cum laude and in 1998 I earned a Ph.D. in English Literature from the University of Pennsylvania. In the course of completing my doctoral project after a long pause from grad school to raise my son, I cultivated the ability, and empathy, to look at academic challenges resourcefully from both sides of the desk. Given that my research on Hamlet was highly interdisciplinary-- joyous and original--I have carried that intellectual exhilaration into all my work as a lecturer, writing specialist, tutor, academic advisor and administrator, always urging students to seek out more conceptual connections and to write as integratively as possible. Currently I am working part-time by choice, but my staunch resolve that the pen is mightier than the sword remains intact and never fails to excite me. I want to share my excitement, expertise, and love of writing with you--and am ready to motivate you and empower you, as I have done so for numerous students, to write your best thinking!

I have loved learning for as long as I can remember and truly want every person to experience the same kind of joy and excitement at expanding his or her horizons and tackling new problems that I have. Every student should have the opportunity to feel both successful and challenged, recognizing that an integral part of success is struggle. It is so important to develop and value grit; struggling with a difficult concept or a complex problem is a beneficial process that leads to true learning. Because of this belief, I am enthusiastic about new approaches to mathematics in K-12 education, in particular. In place of rote memorization, Common Core emphasizes creative approaches to problem solving to develop mental math abilities through mathematical thinking and number sense. My strong liberal arts background has also given me great appreciation for and mastery of critical thinking, textual analysis, and articulate writing across subject areas.As a straight-A student my entire life, I hold myself and my students to a very high standard. I care greatly about the details and hold firm that quality always matters. That said, I wholeheartedly believe that learning is a process and perfection does not come without struggle and persistence. Long-term benefit often stems from short-term "failures," so no student should ever feel either discouraged by difficulties or satisfied by ease. As a classroom teacher who works with 27 students daily, I also appreciate that each student is unique, learning through and becoming motivated by different approaches. I love getting to know each of my students to figure out how to give him or her the best learning experience possible, tailored directly to his or her needs. Particularly in the elementary years, emphasis must be placed on a strong foundation of understanding and of learning habits for greater success in the more rigid and demanding high school and college years.I am currently an elementary school teacher, although I have worked with students from early childhood through college. In the past couple of years (including summer), I have taught kindergarten and first, third, and fourth grade. I am completing a Master's degree in education at Fordham as part of my certification in grades 1-6 and have a 4.0 GPA. As an undergraduate, I attended Wellesley College and was cross-registered at MIT. I majored in Jewish studies and minored in history, although I took courses in everything from microeconomics to psychology, and I graduated with a 3.92 GPA. At Wellesley, I worked as a statistics teaching assistant and volunteered as a kindergarten literacy tutor, an early childhood center student teacher, and a college tour guide. I worked as a kindergarten and afterschool teacher at a prestigious private school in Boston after graduation, before returning to school to complete a Master's in Near Eastern and Judaic studies at Brandeis University with a 3.96 GPA. I hope to continue school after completing this second Master's degree because I love education as both a teacher and a student!

I have a Masters of Science degree from Boston University Business School and a Bachelors of Science degree from Fordham University majoring in Business Administration. At Brooklyn Technical High School, I was on the Math Team and actively participated in many competitions, such as the AMC and the Moody's Mega Math Challenge. During my high school and college years, I tutored math and taught piano. I currently teach classical piano privately. As a tutor, I can relate to the mind of the student and explain concepts using everyday terms and examples to more effectively convey information to the student.

I've recently moved to the Atlanta area after living abroad in Chile for 8 years. I am originally from Alabama and graduated from Birmingham-Southern College with a BA in English Language and Literature. Immediately after undergrad, I relocated to New York City to pursue my law degree at Fordham University. After earning my Juris Doctor and passing the NY bar exam, I worked for five years as a litigator in New York. In 2009, I took the opportunity to fulfill a lifetime dream to live abroad and moved to South America. Upon arriving in Chile, I worked as an ESL teacher for children and adults as well as an editor of investment research and corporate trainer. I love language and am passionate about helping others learn to speak, write and read in a more effective way. Language is a tool, and I truly believe anyone can learn to use it better. I'm excited to be back in the US and eager to work with motivated students.

I recently graduated from Fordham University with a bachelor of arts in economics and philosophy. While in college, I enrolled in a wide variety of courses and received an extensive interdisciplinary education. My experience at Fordham demonstrated firsthand the value education has in helping people understand difficult concepts and grasp the connections between ideas from different academic subjects. As a tutor, I strive to help students attain comprehension and learn how to approach subjects that may seem daunting at first. During my time as an undergraduate, I volunteered as a tutor for middle school students as part of a joint athletic and academic after school program. I am most passionate about helping people learn history, social sciences, and mathematics. I also assist with standardized test prep, primarily with the Reading and Writing sections of the exams. In my spare time, I enjoy photography, hiking and other outdoor activities, and reading about philosophy, evolutionary biology, and human history.

I was a Teaching Assistant at the Gabelli School of Business at Fordham University working as an editor and TA for English essay grading, from 2013 to 2014. I was a tutor at the Rosedale Achievement Center for Girls during the spring of 2012. I taught health classes to freshman at Bronx public high schools from 2010-2011. I was an assistant violin teacher at the Mind Builders Creative Academy from 2011 to 2014.I am a great tutor because I help students break down complicated and difficult assignments into manageable tasks and goals. I am committed to helping students fully comprehend and understand the information they need to learn. This is because I believe students perform best in school when they understand concepts instead of using memorization, which does not provide a stable foundation for more complex work in the future. I love working with young people and helping them to link their coursework to their own personal development and the world they live in.

I love to teach and inspire other people. I work hard, am on-time, and do my best in all of my pursuits.

I graduated from Fordham University with a BA in International Political Economy and Spanish Language and Literature as well as a Business Minor. I have 10+ years of experience working with students as a teacher, tutor, and mentor. I returned to the US this past summer after working as an ESL Teaching Assistant for the last 3 years in Madrid, Spain. During my time in Spain, I worked on my own mastery of the Spanish language while teaching students ranging from preschool age to adults. I taught English in primary and secondary schools and also provided one to one in-home tutoring. I love teaching language because it gives the leaner many opportunities to connect with people all over the world on a different level. I feel that the discipline and dedication put forth to learn a new language shows a great deal of respect for the native speakers and their culture. I strive to make each session with my students fun, educational, and tailored to their specific goals. I like to emphasize each student's personal growth. It doesn't matter if the student is a beginner; the most important part is seeing self- improvement. In my free time I enjoy traveling, trivia games, karaoke and staying fit.
