Current Undergrad, Global Public Health- Biology New York University
9+ Years Tutoring

I'm an undergrad student at NYU, studying Biology and Global Public Health on the pre-med track. I have mostly taught elementary and middle school children, but I'm looking to move up soon. Having said that, I did well on the SAT and the fact that I studied for it quite recently myself makes me confident teaching it to high school students. In my free time-- I love reading, cooking, playing soccer, kickboxing, singing (in the shower!) and hanging out with my friends (and their pets). Lastly, I feel that good teachers, both in and out of school, have been instrumental in my education and progress as an individual. It makes me so glad to be able to provide the same for other students. I can't wait to get to know all of you and help you reach your goals!

I have been a tutor with Varsity since December 2016. I tutored a number of students taking high school courses such as IB physics, Regents algebra, Advanced Placement Calculus AB and beginning Java programming.I have always been a good student in science and math. I have a Bachelors degree from Brown University in physics and a Masters in computer science from New York University. I have worked in the New York City school system teaching high school algebra. During college I taught Advanced Placement physics as a freelancer. Most recently I worked for an Internet marketing company in Manhattan, testing software.In tutoring, I like to present topics that have recently been taught in class, but also go over solving problems. I feel students should not wait until the last minute to start tutoring. If theres only time for 2 tutoring sessions before the final exam, it may be too late to excel. Also, I prefer if the student tells me the topic to go over in the session ahead of time. Then I can prepare a lesson on that topic. Im always willing to answer questions before starting, so you can know how I can help.

Since I was a child, I was always very committed to learning. One of my favorite things to do as an adolescent and teenager was to read interesting literature. I remember having abridged versions even as a small child of great classics such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Call of the Wild. This inspired me to think in vivid and active ways. This approach to life remains with me to this day. I believe that actively reading about the world around us is a key to success. Staying informed about current and relevant issues is a necessary component of being an involved citizen of the world.My education and natural curiosity have taken me to many different places and settings. I like to travel and have traveled to several places, mostly in Europe, North America and Latin America. Every day, I continue to observe and be fascinated by the world around me. I enjoy working with students who have a commitment to education and who are looking to improve their critical thinking and scholarship!My love of education has translated to success in certain endeavors. Currently, I am a PhD Student at Rutgers University. I am studying Political Science with a focus on comparative politics and women and politics. I am writing a dissertation on women's political participation in Eastern Europe. I also have a Masters Degree in Global Affairs from New York University.I graduated summa cum laude from NYU. At NYU, I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship from the U.S. State Department. As a result, I moved to Serbia, where I lived and did research on women in politics for one year. This was an extremely positive and rewarding experience for me. Before NYU, I obtained a BA in Political Science from the Macaulay Honors College at Queens College. I received the degree cum laude. At Queens College, I was a student senator for one year and a member of the water polo team for two years.I have a strong commitment to learning about and teaching global affairs, political science, reading, writing and some math subjects. Last year, I was a Teaching Assistant for two noted Rutgers professors. I assisted in teaching an introductory Political Science course. We covered great thinkers ranging from Niccolo Machiavelli to Fyodor Dostoevsky. This year, I am teaching an introductory writing course at Rutgers. The course emphasizes expanding and improving the conceptual and analytical skills of Rutgers first-year students. I have a flexible and tolerant teaching style but I do expect my students to learn and improve. I have high standards for them and myself.My main goal as a teacher or tutor is to instill a sense of purpose and curiosity within my students. I hope to help them view the world around them as an open and exciting place, one that can improve only if we continue to educate and inspire a critical group in our society-- our youth.Outside of academia and education, I love watching and playing sports. I am a big fan of the professional tennis circuit (Go Djokovic!), the NBA and the WNBA. I also am a fan of artespecially painting and photography. I enjoy taking pictures of the city I was born in called Kotor, Montenegro. It is a picturesque, seaside city on the coast of Montenegro, on the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.Thank you for reading all about me, I look forward to working with you!

I am excited that you are considering me to be your tutor for elementary math or LSAT Analytical Reasoning! I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts degree in Bioethics at New York University and I hope to go to law school next year. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Montclair State University with a degree in Psychology in January, 2016. I am a certified Elementary Education teacher in New Jersey, with experience in classrooms and tutoring programs. After I completed a year of student teaching in a fifth grade classroom, I was hired by that school as fourth grade classroom aide. Getting to work with children every day, and seeing them grow as individuals, was an invaluable experience. Working with children with special needs, I learned how to appeal to a wide range of learning styles while also making learning fun. I am passionate about helping learners realize their full potential!Math has always been my favorite subject, which is probably why I actually enjoy the Analytical Reasoning section of the LSAT (shh!). To me, the problems are more like puzzles, and I look forward to the opportunity to work through this section with you! The best part it's totally learn-able. You'll be amazed at how quickly concepts become clear and the games become easier.Outside of tutoring, my favorite thing to do is play with my one-year-old mini Australian Shepard, Max.

BA New York University
1+ Years Tutoring

I graduated with honors from New York University with a B.F.A. in Drama. While at NYU, I took a variety of classes to satisfy my degree, from Astronomy to Greek Mythology, because I love learning. By extension, I love teaching because I enjoy helping others become passionate about knowledge. I have been a gymnastics coach, a camp counselor, and a tutor, teaching sports, arts and crafts, and school subjects to children of all ages. My favorite subjects to tutor are English and Spanish, because I love helping people to express themselves. Reading and Writing are such important tools to have in life, so I take my job as an English tutor very seriously. My goal is to not only help a student acquire the necessary skills needed to succeed, but to enjoy doing so. This is also why I tutor children of all ages in standardized test preparation. I know tests are a formidable challenge to many people, but I believe that they can be fun if a student feels prepared and confident. In my mind, a test is an opportunity to display hard work and knowledge, not something to be feared. My tutoring style is very focused, fun, and relaxed. I believe students do best when in a calm, encouraging atmosphere. I never stray from the task at hand, but I do introduce a certain level of silliness and play in my teaching. I think this makes a student more open to learning and more available to growth in a subject. My theater background has helped me learn a variety of memorization techniques that I look forward to sharing with my students. I understand that different people learn in different ways, so I always cater my tutoring to a student's personality, preferences, and needs. I enjoy getting to know a student, discovering the ways in which they learn best, and crafting a tutoring approach specifically for them. Besides teaching, I enjoy playing soccer, acting in films, singing and dancing, and, of course, reading and writing.

I believe in doing work which will benefit society, and our youth most of all. I do this as a writer, and I think tutoring students so that they may flourish in school is also admirable. It is my hope to make a difference in young lives, and help them find the confidence to succeed. A test is a metaphor for life. How one approaches it is the main determination of one's fate. I also want students to know that they are capable of success if they work hard, using prior shortcomings as lessons toward improvement. Few people are born with the natural capacity to ace a standardized test without practice. However, we are all capable of reaching our goals if we pursue them fervently and with a positive frame of mind. I had mentors, and now I want to be one.I aim to foster a love for reading. Books shaped my life when I was young. I devoured all of The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries, which admittedly aren't the best literature, but they provided a familiarity and kinship. I cared about those characters. When I was older I read The Catcher in the Rye, and I learned that I wasn't alone at being alone. Still later, when I read Macbeth, I realized the depth of emotion words could possess. My life was forever changed. It is never too late to fall in love with literature. I believe a reluctant reader is someone who hasn't been offered the book that sparks him. Yet.As a writer, I have learned to love the research process. When I started, it was overwhelming! I can help students of all ages navigate, organize and cull their research. I am an American Revolution historian with three books published on the subject and another on the way, so please consult me for help on that subject! (George Washington is my hero.)Finally, I want to share my passion for writing. So many students find it challenging and even aggravating. I know I can help them improve their writing skills. More than that, I can teach them to enjoy putting words to paper (or screen.) Technology changes, but the art and craft of writing does not. And it is a beautiful thing, indeed.

As an educator, I strive to impart confidence and essential skills to every student. I believe nothing is too complicated, provided you break it down into simple parts, and every problem is solvable when you approach it with confidence.One of my specialties is making difficult subjects both engaging and easily accessible. Students are often better able to grasp complicated concepts when they're viewed in an interdisciplinary context. As an artist and techie, I frequently call on both my creative and analytical sides when teaching and developing curriculum, especially in the areas of science-arts. Some of my fondest moments have been when a student mastered a complicated skill or concept with ease because they were so highly focused on the "fun" project or experiment. I bring this same creativity and passion to all disciplines from literature and history to science and scholarly research.

After leaving a promising career as an associate at one of the world's most profitable law firms, I am now applying to medical school and working with children and teens as a part-time clinical research associate and patient educator in the field of pediatric asthma at a prestigious academic medical center. Oh, have I mentioned yet that I have discovered the keys to all-around academic improvement?Ok, I'm still a recovering lawyer, so that statement comes with caveats. The skills you need require hard work to develop and the right person to help you cultivate them. I know the material in every area I offer my services and can teach you such material like any other tutor. What makes me unique is my use of whatever subject I'm teaching to foster your capability to learn on your own in the future, to develop abilities that are transferable to any academic subject and even to future careers. Such abilities include:(i) Recognizing relevant issues and facts presented alongside irrelevant ones;(ii) Analyzing potential consequences of changes to complex systems in equilibrium,(iii) Distilling principles from one set of circumstances and understanding how, and when it is appropriate, to apply them to a different set; and(iv) Being able to clearly justify the basis for any conclusion made.It happens to be that those are the exact abilities I myself developed in Harvard Law School and as a lawyer. It may sound a bit abstract to you right now, but it works. I recently talked about my approach to a tenured science professor at Columbia University, telling her that I thought those skills had helped me tremendously to succeed in her infamously difficult class. Her response, "It sounds as if you have your finger on the right issues."I can't guarantee A's or perfect test scores. But with your hard work, I can improve your understanding of the subject matter in which you're looking for help while also building skills that will serve you long after our sessions are complete. I also like to have fun while I work!

Shortly after graduating, I began working as an ophthalmic technician at a private ophthalmology practice in Brooklyn and decided I wanted to pursue medicine.I completed a post-baccalaureate program at CUNY Hunter College from Fall 2011 to Spring 2013. During this time, I completed two levels of courses in biology, general chemistry, organic chemistry and physics as well as one semester of calculus. I became involved in Hunter's Physical Sciences Center, where I went on to tutor students in chemistry, organic chemistry and physics. I also took on several private students in organic chemistry.In the Fall of 2014, I matriculated at Stony Brook University School of Medicine in Long Island, where I will soon begin my second year.When tutoring, I focus on laying down a strong foundation of understanding before delving into the nuances of different subjects. Students too often fall into a cycle of keeping up with material as a series of pieces of information, never understanding the core concepts and attempting to memorize individual facts. With science and math, it is important to dedicate a lot of time when beginning a subject to clearly understand these core concepts. I have found that successfully approaching these subjects in a bottom-up way can mean the difference between continuously struggling frustratingly through courses like organic chemistry and learning to love them.Completing my first year of medical school has given me a new appreciation for the role that science plays outside of the classroom. I am passionate about these subjects and enjoy passing that passion onto students.

I have my master's degree in information technology and game design (4.0 GPA) and continue to learn devotedly, even as trends in technology rapidly change. I have my own web design business, specializing in custom sites.I ran a print/web marketing business for ten years, advising clients on designs for their marketing. I understand layout, composition, eye pathing, communications, color theory, typography, fontography, and design history. I also use PhotoShop and InDesign almost every day, frequently creating custom art and graphics for my web design clients.All of my areas of expertise are highly marketable in today's IT job environment.

Learning a language is more than being able to communicate, it is the opportunity to have a second, third, or fourth brain, that allows you to process information and life at a superior level. Spanish and French are the languages I learned and have spoken at home since I was little. I lived in South America and went to a French Lyceum. Spanish for me is the language of the Spirit and having fun, French is the language of love, analytics, and a free mindset. I do have a Bachelor's in Corporate Communications and a Master's in Management. I have worked in Marketing and Business Development and on the side have been in the position of teaching and tutoring young adults.

I'm a PhD candidate in Political Science at NYU. I specialize in helping students who haven't looked at an equation since high school and need to relearn math for the GRE or for undergraduate classes in political science, game theory and statistics. I have learned how to quickly identify where a student is getting stuck with a problem and how to explain a concept from an alternative direction so that it "clicks". I'm also happy to help with the verbal and analytic writing sections of the GRE. I have a lot of experience teaching students how to improve their essay writing skills. I've graded hundreds of undergraduate essays, so I understand what a grader is looking for when reading a student's paper.I achieved a 335 combined GRE score (99th percentile) and I want to show you how to do the same. It requires a good understanding of the basic math concepts and a strong vocabulary, but it also requires understanding how to answer the particular types of questions you find on the GRE. My approach is to spend as much time reviewing the basics as required and then I can coach you through strategies for answering particular question types and how to improve your question answering speed.I am currently working towards a PhD in political science. I taught undergraduate political science subjects in the fields of American Politics, Political Theory, Game Theory and Statistics. I'm happy to host, come to you, or to meet at a convenient location.
