Award-Winning Tutors from Fordham University

I am currently a high school teacher with four-years experience teaching Regents bearing Biology (Living Environment), Chemistry, Ecology, and Earth Science. I completed my undergraduate work at Brandeis University and received a B.S. in Biology, and B.A. in International & Global Studies. I conducted my graduate studies at Fordham University and received an M.S. in Secondary Science Education. I am currently certified in New York State for Biology 7 - 12 and am pursuing a secondary certification in SPED 7 - 12.My approach to tutoring is simple: learning does not come easily if it cannot be made digestible. In this light, I employ a range of techniques to engage and drive my students towards their own litmus of success. I love integrating games, technology, or a points system to support students. If the first approach does not work, I am open and flexible to hearing feedback from the students and their parents in the interest of maximizing student learning.While my background is in secondary science education, my passion is in literacy education. I have worked with students from as young as Kindergarten through the college level in reading with fluency and a critical/analytical eye. This has lended me naturally into a writing tutor, allowing me to coach my students into becoming stronger writers.In working with students at the elementary level, I have also had the opportunity to explore Common Core expectations in ELA and Mathematics. Many of my students utilize Singapore Math, Go Math, Math in Focus, Eureka Math, or Prentice Hall Math curriculums, and I have developed quite a familiarity with these texts.I have worked with over 500 students in preparing for the Living Environment, Earth Science, and Chemistry New York State Regents in the last 4 years. I work with a range of resources including the Barron's Prep Books, EarthComm textbooks, and my self-made prep materials.My passion is in literacy education.

With my familiarity with Common Core and Common Core aligned texts and my sincere interest in finding the right "style" of learning for each unique child, I have found great joy and success in working with students in elementary school.I look forward to meeting your family and your student and working together to help your child realize their fullest, brightest potential!

I am a graduate student living in New York and have been tutoring and teaching test prep classes for the past several years. I love working with students to help them gain confidence and understanding in subjects that have been giving them trouble, and I strive to make learning the most positive and enjoyable experience possible!

I am a graduate of Fordham University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English with a minor in Communications. Since graduation I have been working as a teaching assistant at Fordham High School for the Arts under Blue Engine, an educational service affiliated with Americorps. Even before college I was a teaching assistant, tutor, and mentor to 6-8th graders under the REACH Program for Regis High School which serves academically gifted students whose families are in financial need. Interestingly enough, I too was once a student in the REACH Program. This is where my love of education and belief that a strong educational background is essential to advancing in life and improving one's circumstances. As an English tutor, I believe that reading comprehension and writing skills are essential to advancing in literary analysis as well as communicational skills. Through scaffolding questioning, deep text readings, and rigorous analytical writing, I believe any student can become a competent English student and communicator. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, film and television, as well as musical criticism.

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.

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 studied for a Bachelor of Arts in Classics at McGill University, with a minor concentration in History. I then received a Master of Arts in Latin Language & Literature from Fordham University and a Master of Philosophy in Classics & Ancient History from the University of Bristol. I have over 10 years of teaching experience, having taught at the university level and, most recently, at the middle school level. I have taught all levels of Latin, classical literature in translation, and test prep for middle schoolers. I have tutored students in Latin from ages 10 to 20, and can also tutor students in test prep and English. My style of tutoring is responsive to students' needs, and I believe in the value of practice and repetition. In my spare time, I enjoy curling and playing guitar.

As a tutor, I am thoroughly invested in my students' success. I believe that education has the power to change someone's life, and the greatest honor is sharing this experience with a student. I graduated summa cum laude from Fordham University with a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science and Dance. I received a superscore of 36 on the ACT. I am familiar with the ins and outs of this exam, and love working with students to help them succeed. In addition, I have taught dance for the past six years. I have worked with students of all ages between the grades of preschool and senior year in high school. My experience as a dance educator has taught me how to motivate students, and empower them to be confident in themselves. I have high standards for myself, and thus I have high standards for my students. I facilitate this by getting to know each student their capabilities, and who they are as humans. I can then see each student's potential, and push them to reach this. In this way, my pedagogy is motivated by the humanist educational approach and theoretical framework. I aim to cultivate an equitable experience by guiding each student to do their personal best, rather than expecting every student to perform the same. My goal is for my students to take lessons with them that they can apply to the rest of their lives, not just within academia. I invite you to book a tutoring lesson with me! I look forward to helping you succeed.

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 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.

I am a graduate of both Loyola University Maryland and Fordham University. At Loyola, I earned my Bachelor's degree in History and Spanish. I studied numerous aspects of World History and focused my thesis on Medieval Spain. I earned my Master's from Fordham in Medieval Studies, with concentrations in History and Islamic Studies. After earning my Master's, I worked in Spain as an English Teaching Assistant for a bilingual high school in Madrid over the past academic year. I had the privilege to lead classes in various subjects, namely English, History, and Art, while also giving students one-on-one attention to help with particular difficulties they were having in English. My tutoring experience began as a peer tutor at Loyola, where I tutored History and Spanish. In Spain I tutored students, teachers, and parents in English. My favorite subjects to tutor are Spanish and History because they are essential for the development of communicative and analytic skills, which are essential for success in university and graduate level studies.During my lessons, I effectively collaborate with my students to discover their learning tendencies and habits so that they can quickly develop a strong understanding of the subject based on their strengths. My lessons are filled with discussion and dialogue in order that my students do not become bored with the material, but remain engaged and do not feel like they are being lectured. My goal in tutoring is to ensure that my students become motivated to constantly improve themselves; in doing so, they will develop a lifelong love of learning and a drive to succeed in any aspect of life.Aside from teaching, I am an avid sports fan, particularly of football, baseball, soccer, and golf. I also enjoy traveling, having done so extensively throughout Spain and other places in Europe, such as Rome, Paris, and Germany. There is nothing quite like speaking the native language (whether it's Spanish or broken French, Italian, and German) and experiencing the architecture, food, art, and music of all these places far away from home. These experiences have reinforced my appreciation for History and Spanish, as well as for the diversity of the world in which we live.

I received a Bachelors of Science in Biology with a Pre-Med focus at Syracuse University. Upon graduating, I joined Teach For America and I have been teaching for four years. In my first two years I attained a Masters in Science in Special Education from Fordham University.I teach in District 79, an amorphous district, that caters to students who have struggled in a traditional academic setting. During this time I have come to believe that every student is unique and requires differentiated learning styles and/or resources that will help him or her succeed.I am fortunate enough that I teach science specifically. I teach Biology (Living Environment), Earth Science, Health, and the science component of GED (HSE). I love science and I believe that the right tutor will be able to explain the depth and usefulness of science in a fun and engaging way.

I am a college student at Fordham University with a lot of experience working with younger students. I currently major in math and love to tutor students in mathematics. In addition, I'm experienced with standardized test prep, and I could help with tutoring for tests such as the SHSAT or SAT.

I am tutoring tax (REG, TCP, EA and college-level). My approach is that I will offer an explanation of the topic, then get into working through questions. I have tutored tax for hundreds of hours at this point and most students seem to like my easy-going and enthusiastic approach.

I am excited to be a tutor for Varsity Tutors. I have a Biology/Spanish degree from Fordham University and have since worked as a New York City high school Biology teacher as well as in biological research. In addition to running and exploring the city in my spare time, I am a mentor for a New York City program that boasts 100% college acceptance rate for participating students. In high school, I received scores on my PSAT/SAT that helped me get into a great college and earn a full-tuition National Merit Scholarship. Through that process, I learned many tricks to raise standardized test scores and to really use the results to my best advantage. I also like to help students with all subjects and in particular, Science, Math, Writing, Regents exams, high school entrance exams, and PSAT/SAT. As a teacher, I understood first hand that everyone learns in different ways and at different ability levels, but every student can achieve at their best when they receive personalized instruction tailored to their needs and interests. As a tutor, I hope to help students throughout the city understand how they can best perform in school and on tests to achieve their academic and personal goals.

I'm invested in how we can accumulate who you can be!

My name is Daniel Kearney, and I'm a recent college graduate living in New York City. My entire professional career has been spent working with youth. I love working with kids of all ages. Their ability to soak up information and improve is inspiring, and their energy makes work not feel like work. I believe that all students are capable of academic success and that sometimes all it takes is a novel approach. This is why it is important to understand the unique learning style of each student. I'm looking forward to getting to work at Varsity Tutors and helping students reach their full potential.

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 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.

Hi everyone! My name is Catherina, and I am currently a student at Fordham University working towards a BA in Applied Mathematics and Economics. I love anything involving the outdoors, from nature walks to outdoor sports. I live in the great City of New York and spend my free time visiting museums and seeing the fascinating spots the city has to offer. I found an interest in tutoring in high school and continue it today because I love helping students understand material in a way that is easily understood by all. Nothing makes me more happy than the brightened face on a student content with working on a subject they previously struggled with. I work with all ages and abilities while striving to reach every individuals end goal. I hope to help you, too!

In 2021, I received my Bachelor of Science in Integrative Neuroscience from Fordham University with minors in Philosophy and Chemistry, and I am currently a medical student. In college, I tutored and TAed in General Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, and Biochemistry. In addition to writing, basic math, and various chemistry courses, I am also available for ACT and MCAT tutoring. Preparing for standardized tests can be very overwhelming but it does not have to be. With my years of tutoring work and experience taking these exams myself, I can guide students through the preparation process so they enter the testing facility with confidence and leave with a score to be proud of.

I'm an instructor with 5+ years of teaching and tutoring experience. I'm enthusiastic about helping students meet their own goals and develop useful skills. I began tutoring as an undergraduate, for history, French, German, and Latin. I also have extensive experience editing English essays (my own, those of my peers, and those of my students.) I spend a lot of time thinking about these subjects, and about how to help others understand them better.When I'm not doing academic work, I enjoy experimenting in the kitchen and exploring on my bicycle. I attempt to bring the same creativity and adventurousness to tutoring as I do to these pursuits.

I'm excited to be back in the US and eager to work with motivated students.

I have enjoyed helping MSWs to successfully pass their licensing exams. My goal is to help you pass your LCSW exam so you can further your career. I look forward to hearing from you.

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.

Hello! I am a college student at Fordham University. I am a History major with minors in Medieval Studies and Anthropology. I can help out with History, English, Writing, and Reading skills.I have been a tutor for almost one year and hold a position as a copyeditor for a research journal at my university. My strength is helping students improve writing skills through close reading, essay-editing, and revision.

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 am currently working on my Masters in Social Work degree. I originally was taking classes for nursing, then decided to do social work. That is why I have experience in the sciences and social sciences. I have over 10 years experience tutoring and truly love it!

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 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.

I am an experienced educator with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from Fordham University. I taught reading, writing, grammar and public speaking successfully in three middle schools. I have also been a reading and writing tutor for five years for students in elementary, middle, and high school. I have a proven track record of moving students from below to above grade level performance in each of these areas. My approach is individualized intervention strategies tied to "real-world" applications of skills. This assures that students are not just learning content, but understand the context in which the content is useful for college and career success. Ninety-six percent of my students passed the state ELA exam after being scored below grade level the previous school year. I enjoy teaching language arts because I believe it's the gateway to understanding ourselves and the world around us.
