Award-Winning Tutors from Fordham University

I am originally from a small town in upstate New York. I attended Port Jervis High School, where I received the honor of being named valedictorian and discovered just how much I value education. I moved to New York City for college when I attended Fordham University at Rose Hill in the Bronx. I pursued a double major in English and French Language and Literature, as well as a double minor in Comparative Literature and Psychology. I was blessed with the opportunity to follow my passions through study abroad programs in both London and Paris. I absolutely love to travel and certainly miss my exciting European adventures! While home in the Bronx, my most meaningful volunteer experiences were working in a Hunts Point preschool. Through my work with young children and early literacy, I developed a love for teaching. I expanded my volunteer work in education with homework help for high school students and English tutoring for college freshmen. Upon graduation from Fordham, I joined the New York City Teaching Fellowship program and began my journey to teacher certification in Special Education and English, grades 7-12. I currently work as a 10th and 11th grade teacher at a school in Queens, where I teach French, English, and U.S. History. Studying and teaching French, I learned about the frustration students feel when struggling to understand something that might literally or figuratively seem to be in another language. I carry this understanding, lots of patience, and a passion for language into my tutoring sessions. Outside of school, I love to read, have movie nights, see as many Broadway shows as possible, and travel all over NYC and NYS seeing my lovely family and friends.

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 am a Special Education English teacher in Philadelphia with a passion for education. I love working with students of all ages to find their learning style and to meet their personal goals. I also love to laugh and have fun while getting work done!I graduated from Fordham University in New York City with a major in sociology and a double minor in visual arts and philosophy. During my undergraduate career I worked with students as young as preschool and as old as high school seniors on their reading and writing skills. I truly believe that reading and writing is the key to understanding and interacting with the world in a positive way. I know certain books have changed my life and I hope to instill the same passion I have for the written word within all my students!I have been teaching both high school and middle school in Philadelphia for the past five years. I have taught reading intervention and seen many of my students make enormous gains. I am in the process of being certified in the Wilson System of reading, which is a rigorous and research based intervention for students of all ages. I am excited to work with students on everything from fundamental phonics to critical reading!

I am an experienced teacher and a tutor. My Bachelors Degree was in Teaching English and I also have MBA in Finance from Fordham University School of Business. I have more than 10 years of teaching experience and for the past three years I have worked as a private tutor. I find teaching extremely rewarding, especially right now, during pandemic where thousands of children and adults have suffered from a learning loss. I am a warm and caring teacher who wants all children to be successful learners and works to create a classroom atmosphere that is stimulating, encouraging, and adaptive to the varied needs of students. I have a proven track record of achieving great results within a short time frame. I have experience tutoring English, ESL, Reading, Writing, Math and Russian. My favorite subject to teach is Reading, I love working with students who are struggling with learning how to read. it is most rewarding to see how quickly they improve after working with me. I believe that well rounded education is very important, as it sets the stage for future success in life.

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 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'm a budding Physicist and I believe that a good understanding of the physical laws which govern our universe is not only key for a good outlook on life, but makes a number of things in life more enjoyable. About myself: I'm from Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic originally and came to New York when I was three (I've been here 19 years - Go Yanks!). I play the guitar (I love the Blues) and am a baseball enthusiast. I am fluently bilingual (English and Spanish) and as such can teach what I know in both languages.I've recently received a degree in Physics (B.S) from Fordham U. in The Bronx. At Fordham, the Physics Department requires that all upperclassmen be available for tutoring in the classes they've succeeded in, meaning that I've tutored in several areas of Physics and Math for two consecutive years. I've also had the pleasure of tutoring my younger siblings in anything they need help with (I have a 9 yr. old sister who loves Science, and I believe I've played at least a small role in that). I love tutoring; many see tutoring as a service provided by one party to another, but it has great benefits for the tutor as well. Through tutoring at Fordham and unprofessionally (family and friends) I've learned how to communicate physical and mathematical theories at several levels of comprehension, and my understanding of the subject matter has often improved as a result. My general approach in tutoring physics and math is to emphasize the theory behind whatever subject the student may be dealing with. Once a student firmly understands a physical or mathematical theory it is much easier to understand the formulas and applications behind the theory. Examples are key in understanding this type of subject matter and as such I greatly emphasize examples as well. I am very patient when it comes to relaying the knowledge I have because I understand how difficult Math and Science may be for some (Science was not necessarily my strong suit in High School).

I love sharing my experiences and mentoring others. My varied background in corporate finance, banking and treasury management gives a great global view.

As an educator, I am deeply committed to empowering students to reach their full potential and achieve academic success.

Whether it's breaking down complex concepts, providing additional practice, or offering guidance and support, I am committed to helping students overcome challenges and build confidence in their abilities. 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.

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 my free time, I watch tons of basketball and football and love action movies.

Hiya! My name is Joe Rozek and I would like to be your tutor. In the past I studied philosophy at Vassar College, ecology at Fordham University and then at Lehigh University I had a brief stint as a PhD student in evolutionary biology. There I quickly found out that I was more keen on teaching than I was on doing research and have since transferred to obtain my teaching certificate in high school biology. Despite my many years in biology, I never found it to be easy. Science is hard. There's a great deal of memorization associated with the subject, as well as difficult concepts and esoteric terminology. Let me help you by lending you my expertise in effectively studying and learning biology.

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 currently an undergraduate student pursuing a Computer Science degree at Fordham University. This is my first year tutoring as my only real experience was helping classmates do their homework. However, when it comes with teaching others math, I've always held the belief that people need to learn each individual step in a mathematical problem. I believe this is something that can improve student's understanding in math. I also make sure students are engaged and have fun with learning math.

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 am a current last year medical student, about to become a doctor.

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 work with all ages and abilities while striving to reach every individuals end goal. I hope to help you, too!

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.

My practice is founded in the belief that critical thinking will always benefit the student greater than memorization. Therefore I spend my time show my students how to think and deconstruct problems instead of having them memorize the answers. This method has taken my student far beyond the classroom and has given them the tools to achieve their dreams.

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 graduate of Fordham University where I earned a Bachelor's degree with a major in History. In particular, I focused my energies on the study of American History. I have tutored as a part of the National Honor Society on topics such as AP Literature, AP American History, AP American Government, and the SAT. I am incredibly passionate about History and Literature and could easily discuss these topics for hours on end. I truly believe that history is fascinating, interesting, and wholly deserving of our attention. I hope I can share this passion and create tutoring sessions that are as engaging as they are informative. With my free time I enjoy reading, especially science fiction, and also exercise regularly, but admit a certain weakness for video games and good TV.

I hold a Ph.D in English from Fordham University in NYC and a valid secondary school teaching license.

I am passionate about creating a learning environment where I empower students to find their own unique voices and express their ideas with confidence. I specialize in breaking down assignments into easy-to-follow steps, and I utilize a variety of diverse teaching methods to tailor a tutoring session to what an individual student needs. I'm especially good with neurodivergent or non-traditional students--not only am I one myself, but both my kids are and I've adjusted my practices many times to better fit what a student needs in order to be successful in an academic setting that isn't one-size-fits-all. My goal is to inspire students to realize their own potential and to transform writing from a confusing or intimidating task into an enjoyable and rewarding experience. In all my years as a teacher, the one thing I missed most was the chance to talk one-on-one with a student and really listen to what they needed--tutoring lets me do just that! I'm excited to learn more about you and help you achieve success
