Award-Winning Tutors from Fordham University

I am an academically accomplished tutor who has more than six years of experience tutoring high school math and science. After spending the past two years studying medicine I realized that I am more passionate about education.In the past, I have tutored high school math up to calculus along with biology and chemistry up to the introductory college courses. I took the general SAT, SAT Math level II, SAT French, the GRE and the MCAT. I have also become proficient in human anatomy, microbiology and biochemistry.I believe that all students deserve excellent tutors who cater to their learning styles and challenge and encourage them to become proficient independent learners. Tutoring is a combination of teaching and mentoring and I strive to offer students the knowledge and skills they need to become academically confident and competitive.In my free time, I enjoy practicing yoga and dance. I am also into boxing. My favorite TV show right now is Game of Thrones! I love my family and friends and I enjoy spending time with them. I have the best siblings ever!

I am passionate about helping students because without a thorough education, I would not be the person I am today. Education was at first something handed down to me from figures of authority. The more I studied and applied myself, however, a feeling ownership and agency began to develop. Education was less something handed down to me, and more something which I owed that I could engage in at any time. I want to help students discover how fun and how immeasurably valuable education can be, not because an authority figure told them so, but because they know this in their own heart. So far I've tried to impart this idea to students at CitySquash in the Bronx, and Harlem RBI in Manhattan, two programs which blend tutoring instruction and homework help with sports. Tutoring sessions were one-on-one for one to two hours per week.I received my Bachelors in America Studies and in Communication and Media Studies from Fordham College Rose Hill in the Bronx. I'm saving money so that I can eventually enter a masters program in either Journalism, or History. I tutor the subjects of History (European, American, World - high school and AP level) and Language Arts (reading comp, writing, language and literature - high school and AP level). My favorite subject to tutor is American history. Bob Marley once said "A people without the knowledge of their past history and culture is like a tree without roots." As Americans (no matter when we arrived to this land) we need to understand thoroughly our history, so that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past. We must see historical trends so that we can anticipate the future. We must nurture and grow our tree, and to do so we must know our roots.My teaching philosophy revolves around the student learning to lead by himself or herself. Tutoring is temporary, and a student must learn to learn. Memorizing information is great for passing tests, but mastering methods of learning will help a student to succeed throughout his or her entire lifetime. So I try to show students how to learn more than just what to learn.Outside of academia, I love music - reggae music, jazz music, hip hop music, electronic music, all music. I also play the drums, and attend concerts whenever I have the time and money. I enjoy practicing yoga, taking hikes and exploring New York's Hudson Valley. I devour books and one day want to write my own.

A recent graduate with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, I've had 3 years of tutoring experience in both mathematics and computer science, in various classes. I am a Software Engineer, specifically working with Java and JavaScript but I have extensive experience with C, C++, and Python. I'm excited to get to know all potential students!

I am a graduate of Mercy College and Fordham University. At Mercy College, I received my MS in Urban Education with a concentration in special education. As for my undergraduate studies, I received a BA in Political Science and Spanish Studies with a minor in Latin American Studies. My work experience includes over three years of teaching experience. During that time, I created lesson plans, assessed data, and planned out goals for my students. My expertise is in Spanish and Math, but I have taught ELA, social studies, and science. Moreover, one of my specialties is preparing students for the NYS exams including the REGENTS exams. The teaching philosophy I find most effective is to customize lessons based on the student's interests and learning style. In my spare time, I play tennis and volleyball.

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.

As a passionate tutor with 2 years of experience, I strive i, I strive to create a supportive learning environment where each student feels empowered and confident. I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in business administration at Fordham University, while also studying for the CPA. I leverage my academic background to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills in my students. I am dedicated to making complex concepts accessible and engaging, and I find joy in witnessing my students' growth and confidence. I particularly specialize in subjects like algebra, geometry, calculus, statistics, and accounting.

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'm a 21-year-old Political Science/International Political Economy double major with a Communications & Culture minor at Fordham University. I'm a lifelong learner eager to share the spark of knowledge with everyone. I have been a volunteer educator since high school, teaching mathematics, geography, English, and history at grade schools in Chicago. Most recently, I worked as a senior health educator with the peer health exchange in high schools across New York City. I can't wait to keep the ball rolling with you!

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'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!

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.

Hello,I'm a full time working professional and adjunct professor based in Manhattan. I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a BA in Medicine, Health, & Society and a minor in Managerial Studies. I've also earned my MFA in Luxury & Fashion Management from Savannah College of Art & Design and my MSL in Fashion Law from Fordham School of Law. I have been an Adjunct Professor in fashion business since 2016 and love working one-on-one with students to build confidence and identify their root source of motivation while of course building knowledge and develop critical thinking skills. I'm available to tutor students in a wide range of topics including English (grammar, writing, reading, spelling, etc.), math (through Algebra 2), and history. As a US Presidential Scholar who earned a 35 out of 36 on my ACT, I am most actively seeking students for ACT tutoring as well as general college prep including college applications, scholarship search, and financial aid application assistance.

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 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.

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.

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.

Hello, my name is Dilan, and I am an Economics student at Fordham University. I am a dedicated tutor who enjoys helping students build confidence and achieve their academic goals. I specialize on building elementary and middle school math skills to help them build their foundation for a high school career.

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 am a dedicated teacher from New York City currently located in Spain. I received my MST in Childhood General and Childhood Special Education. In addition to engaging in private tutoring, I have also worked in private schools in the Manhattan area.I encourage my students to develop their questioning skills and take control of their learning. My proudest moments as a teacher are when a child goes home and independently researches or reads about a topic because a lesson has piqued their curiosity. In addition, school content should be both challenging and applicable to the students experience outside the classroom. Delpit argues for this dual aspect of learning that is both relevant and challenging in her work Multiplication is for White People.

Global Business student studying Finance at Fordham University NYC. I'm very enthusiastic about combining my passion for interacting with others and sharing skills and knowledge to aim for brighter futures!

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.

I'm 18 years old and I am a sophomore at Fordham University. I promise I won't disappoint!

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 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.

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.

As a student myself who has used tutoring resources many times, I know the need for good teachers to help students succeed, and I am passionate about giving back these lessons the same way I was able to receive them! I have taught students of many different ages from as little as 6 years old to as old as 16/17. I love teaching all ages in subjects such as reading and math, especially when it comes to the SATs. My philosophy is to never assume. I approach every student as a blank slate where I do not know about their prior knowledge, and as such, I make it a point to explain everything I teach thoroughly to ensure they have a strong foundation. With patience and understanding, I grow with my students to assist them in getting the most possible out of their education with me.

I am a recent graduate of Fordham University, with a B.A. in Music and Philosophy. I have taken coursework in and have a great passion for all areas of learning, particularly in Humanities. As a Tutor, I have guided students through difficult texts and aided them with essay writing for three years. I have also tutored voluntarily, working with underprivileged youth, in SAT and college preparation. I am passionate about culture and the Arts; hence I teach a broad range of subjects, from Religious Studies to Music Theory. As my majors suggest, I am particularly strong with Philosophy and Music. What I love most of all, is learning new subjects for and with my students. My teaching style is dynamic. It's tailored to each student and subject. I work at whatever pace best suits them. I relate subject material to the student’s other interests to best engage him or her. The only things I keep the same for every student are the values I encourage: thoroughness and patience with regard to work ethic, curiosity and appreciation with regard to the material. Outside of tutoring, I like to listen to and compose music, read and write literature, play video games, and follow contemporary politics.
