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).

Andrea
BA Fordham University
8+ Years Tutoring

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.

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.
