Award-Winning Tutors from Fordham University

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 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.

Hello, my name is Jake Sanders, I am a graduate student and writing instructor in the English department at the University at Buffalo. I study 20th century American and British literature, but have experience taking the SAT, AP Subject tests in Literature and Psychology, and the GRE General and Subject test in Literature. My scores are included in my profile. I am also a writing technique tutor at the Center for Excellence in Writing at UB and enjoy working one-on-one with students from a variety of academic backgrounds, including in Science and Engineering.

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

I 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 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.

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'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 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 have 2 math degrees, 7 years of teaching experience and 30 years of tutoring experience in math. I enjoy what I do and I help students enjoy the learning process as well. I help them build their confidence through a series of successes in solving progressively more challenging problems. I look forward to helping students be the best math students they can be.

I enjoy helping students de-mystify math by teaching them that it is a language that can be mastered, if they are willing to put in the work.

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

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

I have experience tutoring students of all ages ranging from elementary to high school in various different subject areas including Grammar, Writing, Essay Editing, and Elementary to Pre-Calculus Math.

I'm an educator with a passion for learning and giving back. I break skills into clear, manageable steps and use patience, encouragement, and strategies that build confidence fast. Wether you're preparing for exams, catching up on fundamentals, or aiming higher, I personalize each session so students leave understanding-- and believing they can do it.

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 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 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.

As a dedicated tutor with experience in AP Biology, AP Chemistry, and AP English Language and Literature, I strive to cultivate a nurturing learning environment that motivates students to achieve their academic goals. I am currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree in Visual Arts at Fordham University. Within my teaching, I try to weave in creative aspects, particularly in Creative Writing and Drawing. I strive for the students to feel they can express themselves fully. My personalized approach emphasizes understanding each student's distinct strengths and challenges, fostering both confidence and engagement. Further, I find joy in assisting students with essay editing and enhancing their Spanish language skills, aiming to ignite a passion for learning while empowering them to embrace their individuality.

I am a graduate of Fordham University and Keuka College. I received my Bachelors Degree in Social work from Keuka College and My masters degree in social work from Fordham with a focus on Clinical Social work. Since graduation, I have been a therapist I spent a year and a half as a therapist embedded in the foster care program with a contracted agency. I currently am a therapist in a wellness center and work primarily with children and adolescence. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, being outdoors, and enjoying time with my family including my pets.

I am a graduate of Harvard University, Fordham University, and the Mindful Schools' Yearlong Certification Program in Mindfulness* Education. During my undergraduate years at Harvard, I studied Sociology and African Studies and spent a semester studying and discovering another culture in Accra, Ghana, in West Africa. After working in Ghana for a year after graduation, I returned to the United States, received my Master's from Fordham through the New York City Teaching Fellows program, and spent the last six years teaching a wide range of subjects, including mindfulness, in Brooklyn public middle and high schools. I have also worked as a teacher trainer and coach. Right now, I am applying to doctoral programs, teaching mindfulness to people of all ages (both one-on-one and in groups), and tutoring. My passion lies in helping students achieve their potential by providing high-quality, tailored instruction coupled with skillful, compassionate attention to the variety of factors that affect each student's ability to succeed, such as environmental stressors and self-limiting beliefs. I enjoy tutoring students in anything Englishrelated, especially college and grad school personal statement writing and academic writing in general, as well as middle school math, pre-algebra, and algebra. In my spare time, I love to dance, learn languages, attend yoga classes, read about anything and everything, drink tea, and hear people's life stories.*Mindfulness refers to paying nonjudgmental, compassionate attention to whatever arises in one's moment-to-moment experience, such as thoughts and feelings, training people to become more aware of what they are experiencing, replacing impulsive reactions with more thoughtful responses. Research has found that mindfulness training has a significant effect on students' and teachers' focus, stress management, impulse control, and relationships.

I am an international on-line teacher. It is my mission to provide students with the best education. I strive to provide the ultimate customized learning experience.

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 am a private tutor with over ten years of experience on the SATs, College Essays & Applications, English, History, Math, TOEFL, and the like. I have taught for over seven years, including at such prestigious institutions as Choate Rosemary Hall, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa and Magna Cum Laude from Fordham University with a triple major in English, Philosophy, and American studies. I have two masters' degrees, and am a certified teacher in the State of Massachusetts.As a tutor, I am both flexible and patient. No two students are the same, and therefore there is no "right approach" to tutoring. Rather, I try to meet students where they are, and find ways to help them accomplish whatever goals they have in mind, be it an SAT score, a better writing style, or a new approach to studying history. I have helped hundreds of students with SAT preparation, and have worked both around the United States and internationally as a private tutor and college counselor, so I am familiar with many different types of students, from a wide variety of backgrounds, and the various difficulties they face. In short, I work with students in many ways, depending on what the student him or herself needs.

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

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!

Hi! I am entering my 7th year of teaching. I am a certified kindergarten through fifth grade teacher. I currently teach 4th grade and have also taught 1st and 2nd grades.
