For the last six years I have tutored and taught from French to physics and back again. As a bachelor's graduate with a chemistry/physics degree, I know full well what's required to succeed in those subjects. I also know how to face the endless standardized tests and leave the battle in victory, not resignation. I've been speaking French since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me!My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced calculus). Yet, I've also been reading since I was old enough to hold a flashlight (my eyes don't thank me), so if you need help with following any sort of literature, I've got your back (excluding the original text of the Canterbury tales, I never learned Middle English).Live long and prosper, friends.

I am an experienced tutor, specializing in early childhood and Elementary education and subjects. I have patience and passions for students of all levels and the problem solving skills to work with different abilities. I am also familiar with Common Core Standards. I have worked with kids as young as preschool and I have also worked with elementary students through an after school program who were below grade level.

Avid runner with a PhD in Comparative Literature, I grew up in Germany and the US and am an expert in English composition, literature, and random facts. I am a lifelong learner, but also an experienced teacher with a passion for one-on-one training and helping people understand the things they need for succeeding in their assignments or exams.

I'm a creative educator and technologist looking to watch the world learn, man. I am extremely positive and fun to engage with, while thorough in my transfer of techniques and learning strategies.

I am a current PhD student in Hispanic Literatures and Cultures at Indiana University Bloomington, where I also teach Spanish to students as an associate instructor. I chose to pursue a doctorate in Spanish not only because of my love of the language, but also because I love teaching Spanish as much as I love studying it! I believe that anyone can learn a language, no matter their age or experience; all you need is a willingness to learn and to keep trying, even when you make mistakes. My goal as an instructor is to help students arrive at a point where they feel truly comfortable with Spanish, which means not only helping students understand the rules of the language but also how they might use it in their daily lives to communicate with others. As a language-learner myself, I've seen the ways that learning a second language can enrich your life, and I want to give my students the tools they need to experience places, people, and cultures they wouldn't have access to otherwise.

Hello! I'm a educator and visual artist with many years of experience teaching and tutoring high school and college students. I have a BA in Political Science from New College of Florida and a MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design. While I'm a photographer by trade, I also have a passion for and expertise in Math and the Natural Sciences -- as well as French and Spanish, having studied and worked in both Paris and Central America. While I'm proficient now, I struggled with both languages early on, and understand the challenges of both starting a new language and in moving from a conversational to a more proficient level. I'm also available for ACT and SAT test prep -- and work especially well with students who are visual learners (though I have a wide range of materials and resources for all styles of learning!).

I've been a mathematician and tutor for about 15 years. I have also taught mathematics at the college level for the past 7 years. My research touches on the interactions between math and theoretical computer science, as well as number theory (largely the study of prime numbers). I've taught courses ranging from basic arithmetic up through linear algebra and multivariable calculus. The second most exciting thing about mathematics is that moment when something totally opaque and confusing suddenly solidifies into crystal clarity. It's the sort of moment that makes you shout "aha!" or "eureka!". The most exciting thing about mathematics is sharing that experience with someone else.

Having attained my bachelors degree in history, I would now like to spend my time on a job that pertains to what I know, and love.I plan on applying to grad schools in the following year, but until then I'd like to know more about pedagogy and historical representation. Tutoring seems like a perfect fit for this, although I'm aware I may be called on to teach more than just history.I've worked in classrooms dealing with various subjects and learning with the students is a treat regardless of the content being taught. Getting to know a student, and creating a lesson plan to suit them is a rewarding challenge.As an historian, I focused mainly on the Caribbean, but my college prided itself on teaching students the research and reading skills necessary to understand a concept quickly. I've understand the value of teaching oneself content thoroughly before teaching it to another.

Hello,I'm a retired teacher, but since I love teaching English and history, I'm staying engaged with students through one-on-one tutoring. I got my high school diploma from Deerfield Academy in Deerfield, MA; my BA in Fine Arts from New College of Florida (the honors college of Florida's state universities) in Sarasota, Fl; and two masters in the Humanities from Saint John's College in Santa Fe, NM. Both colleges emphasized self-directed learning, collaboration, Socratic seminars, great books, intensive study and writing, and this has informed my own teaching style. I have taught as an English and history teacher in all types of schools: private, public, charter, and online. I have worked as a private tutor for English, drawing, and SAT Prep. I've worked with and tutored all kinds of high school students: ESL, ESS, at-risk, and dual enrollment in community college classes.I have a great passion for my subjects and a strong desire to communicate that to others. I strive to meet students where they are at, getting a sense of their strengths, challenges, and interest in the material so that our time together is as rewarding, interesting, and fun as possible. I see myself more as a coach or mentor rather than a teacher since no true learning can occur without mutual respect. My main focus is always to foster a genuine understanding, even an appreciation, of the subject. When students create their own meaning and insight, that's theirs forever. As a consequence, recalling facts and organizing information, which has to be done, becomes much easier. As a rule of thumb, my lessons begin with Socratic questions and speculative or analogical thinking to develop critical thinking and effective communication skills before going into the factual or technical sides of the subject matter after which students can demonstrate they've mastered the concepts needed to succeed on a test or essay. If a student is earnest, I will always go the extra mile for him or her.

I am a graduate student at Columbia University currently majoring in South Asian Studies with a focus on history and postcolonial theory. I attended New College of Florida where I received my bachelor's degree in History. I am an aspiring professor and an avid student of all disciplines. My tutoring experience ranges from elementary school to graduate-level work, and I have specialized for the last two years in working with students with learning disabilities. My preferred subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a library, I'm walking my Australian shepherd dog around Fort Tryon Park or shopping for used books.

I believe that as educators we are often in the position of trying to teach our students how to think critically for the first time. What a responsibility! By taking this charge seriously and conceptualizing it fully we can positively impact the quality and veracity of our students' thinking.I am invested in the intricacies of pedagogy. My experience of teaching at multiple universities such as GMU, Miami-Dade, New College of Florida, American and NYU affords me the opportunity to hone my skills as an instructor-across multiple departments.I bring a deeply entrenched belief in the development of student "idea." I see "idea" a finessed & nuanced, malleable entity that students themselves form and put to work in their thinking/ writing. This pushes them beyond the routinized 'thesis statement' and pushes them to foray into the uncharted waters of their own minds. I believe in the ability of students to learn to think critically and to actively engage in texts. I spend a great deal of time modeling and molding those skills. Students need to think deeply and critically at all times and actively engage those practices into their studies.I am a tough grader with high expectations, but I firmly believe in not "lowering the bar". I use my high standards as a driving force towards accomplishment and success. Students come to me for my expertise, but leave me realizing that they themselves are the integral voice in their own work. This transpires in an exchange that is both dialogical and balanced. We work together to cultivate beneficial critical thought.My ultimate pedagogical goal is to inspire students to become both curious and risky intellectuals who craft quality writing skillfully and employ deft critical thinking with great ease.

I have nearly ten years of experience tutoring at all ages and levels. I can help students gain confidence and savvy in math and science. I am familiar with standardized test standards and can personalize instruction to individual student learning styles. I genuinely love to teach, especially high school math. I have most experience helping grades 7-12 and my students tend to make incredible progress, especially in terms of enjoying the material and committing to self-practice. I can prescribe practice to help fill in gaps. I've also tutored college students in astrophysics, mechanics, electrodynamics and other physics topics. I can explain concepts in a variety of different ways to help the material click with the student.
