I am a graduate of the New York University Gallatin School of Individualized Study. I received my self-designed Bachelor of Arts in Play, Performance, and the Creative Process with a focus on theater, music, and philosophy. Since graduation, I have set up camp in Brooklyn, NY where I pursue my creative interests as well as work part time as a stagehand and as a tutor. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, literature, and writing. I have the most fun working with students on their writing because I feel that even the most academic paper is still an opportunity to be creative if even in a small sense. In this way, I get a sense of who my students are as people through their writing. My tutoring approach is playful, yet patient and even-handed. I try my best to create an atmosphere where students are uninhibited and unafraid to take a risk or be wrong because so much of school and life is about learning from mistakes and being ashamed bears no fruit this regard. Personally, I like to spend my free time playing my guitar, cooking, watching TV, or playing the occasional video game.

I am a Mechanical Engineering student, and I have tutored elementary and middle school students since 5 years ago. I am most passionate about Physics and Math subjects. I believe that learning should be enjoyable inside and outside the classroom.

When you choose a subject in one of my areas of expertise, I will do my best to help you complete your tasks and achieve your personal, professional, and scholastic goals. I am patient, honest, and I have a good sense of humor that can make the learning process fun and interesting! I have had formal and informal tutoring experience via my time serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Panama for 3 years. Although I am no longer a Peace Corps volunteer, I still live in Panama where I work in tourism and also offer English language tutoring services as well as writing, copywriting and editing services. I am originally from New York City, so English is my first language, and I also speak advanced Spanish.

With a background in banking and financial risk management, I have worked in the US, Asia and Europe, as an analyst and a consultant. There are a wide range of subject matters I am interested in: finance, economics, business writing (I published a number of analyst reports), and science (my dream was to become a physicist). I am passionate about tutoring because I want to share my interest in these subjects, and I will break them down so that it will be easy for my students to understand. I have had ample tutoring/teaching experience (including GMAT preparation and Mandarin workshops) and as a consultant, conducted numerous seminars. Simply put, I enjoyed it, so did my students.

I am a graduate of New York University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies. While at school I also studied pre-medicine and I hope to go to medical school in the future. During my time at school I took as many opportunities as I could to visit other countries. I have lived in both the United Arab Emirates and France in order to pursue my foreign language goals. While I am able to tutor a breadth of subjects, my favorite to teach is writing because it enables students to be creative as well as hone skills in articulation and argument. I always look forward to meeting new students and hope to encourage them in all of their academic and non academic endeavors because I firmly believe both are important. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, drawing, and curling up with a good book.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Cinema Studies from New York University. At NYU, I also completed the premedical curriculum and am currently seeking admission into medical school. I grew up in Central New Jersey as a student of the largest high school district in the state. My own educational opportunities have helped me develop a passion and reverence for education. I spent my first postgraduate year serving under-resourced 8th grade students in Brooklyn; in this position, I helped motivate and lead my students, many of whom face great challenges and adversity in life, to academic success in the subjects of Math, English, and Science. While I tutor many subjects, I have a particular passion for Math and Sciences seeing as those are the subjects I will continue to pursue in my own life. I have also had particular success in prepping students for test taking by using my extensive experience in this area to assist my students. I would describe my teaching style and philosophy as a development of mutual respect; I have come to understand that a student's respect for learning is often a reflection of his or her teacher's attitude toward the learning process. I am a patient and caring teacher and I care greatly for my students' improvements. In my free time, you can find me fancying myself a film critic or picking up a stray set on the tennis court.

One of my greatest joys is to help a student who needs to conquer their academic struggles. I have had those rough days and know how much of a stress-reliever a tutor can be. Years of honors courses have prepared me to be the one to relieve that academic stress for you. During the 2016-17 school year, I tutored a middle school student in math. When I met her, she was failing. By the end of our time together, she improved to a B, and was way more confident in the subject matter. I also provided homework help for elementary students in math, science, and English for two years. In 2018, I worked as an Academic Specialist with Parker Academics, LLC as an elementary tutor in math and ELA New York common core, as well as a homework help provider. Later that year, I served as a private high school English tutor and a middle school math tutor. With both students, we worked on overall comprehension and retention so they could remember to apply what we had worked on together when they completed independent work.In addition, I have loved writing since I was in grade school and would love the opportunity to help you increase the quality of your writing. I have taken and received A's in two college-level writing courses, as well as receiving a 5 on my AP English Literature and Composition exam and a 4 on AP English Language and Composition. I was also on the program committee for NYU's College Writing Symposium through their Writing department. My years of experience as a tutor, as well as the rigorous coursework that I take at NYU, have prepared me to be the perfect tutor for your child. I take a personal approach to tutoring and like to get to know my students and their likes and dislikes so I can make the lessons as practical and engaging as possible.

I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Childhood (G 1-6) Education and Childhood (G1-6) Special Education. I have gotten my teacher certification in the state of New York, right after graduating. After graduating from NYU, I taught English to students in Elementary School in Korea (G1-6) and I have taught all different levels. I am now pursuing a master's of Education in English Language Learner program at Vanderbilt University. I am passionate about elementary education and teaching English as a foreign language. In my experience of learning and teaching elementary school, I always try to make the activity more engaging and fun. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, watch tv, and hang out with friends.

I am most recently a graduate of New York University having received an MA in Applied Quantitative research. Previous to my graduate studies, I received a BA in Theatre and a BA in Sociology from the University of New Mexico. In the Fall of 2015 I will become a PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center in Sociology. Other than tutoring, I also work as an instructor of English Language Arts as part of a weekend, after-school, and Summer program for 1st generation children in New York City. I tutor in a wide variety of subjects from Writing to Math to Social Studies. I am passionate about education because I believe it is the foundation for building a just society, and I enjoy teaching and learning from people of all ages from elementary to college-age. I especially enjoy preparing students for standardized testing, working to make a mandatory and unpleasant experience into something that can bring them pride and enjoyment. When not teaching and studying, my hobbies include working in Theatre doing everything from acting to set building to grant-writing.

I am a skilled, metropolitan, and hardworking individual who is able to communicate effectively with people in a friendly manner. I am an extremely fast learner with proficient computer skills and am able to integrate myself into a new work environment with ease. In addition, I am also an excellent writer and am able to adequately compose a formal letter to another body. I dedicate myself fully to any job I take on and will never disappoint.

I am currently a Junior studying Finance and Accounting with a minor in Computer Science at NYU's Stern School of Business. I am also Captain of the Men's NCAA Swim Team. Outside of the pool and classroom I love to explore the city and try different types of food. I look forward to meeting you!

I am currently an undergraduate student at New York University. As someone who plans to work in education one day, I am extremely passionate about teaching and helping my students succeed. I love creating lesson plans, organizing work flow, communicating with my students, and growing alongside them. I tutor a variety of subjects ranging from elementary math/english all the way up to college calculus. With that however, I am most passionate about tutoring SAT and helping with the college application process as I have only recently gone through the process itself and have experienced first hand just how stressful and confusing it can be. In my spare time I enjoy figure skating, reading, drinking a good cup of coffee, and playing the viola.

As a passionate educator with a Master's in Statistics and Public Policy from Carnegie Mellon University, I bring over 2 years of tutoring and classroom experience to my work. Specializing in subjects such as Algebra, AP Calculus, and Statistics, I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students can thrive and develop their analytical skills. My teaching philosophy centers on fostering curiosity and confidence, using real-world applications to connect complex concepts to students' interests. I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their academic goals, and I find joy in witnessing their growth and success. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring mathematical puzzles and engaging with educational literature, which continually inspires my approach to teaching.

I am a graduate of New York University???s undergraduate history program. My main focus was the cultural and intellectual history of WWII Japan. In my final summer at NYU I traveled to Japan where I studied Japanese, traditional music, and Wartime film.I offered my academic services both in high school and college, often to my peers, primarily in writing and mathematics. I work carefully with students to bring out clarity and richness of expression in their writing. Essays are essentially portraits of your character and logical flow, which is often where students are lost, is crucial towards creating a compelling voice. Mathematics is similar; it requires a practiced hand and a clear mental map. I am happy to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs.Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, earth sciences, reading comprehension French and Japanese. I encourage students to find freedom in these subjects rather than trauma. In each lies a means of expression and an opportunity for dialogue. Physics, for example, offers us a completely new vocabulary for describing our natural world. My goal is for you to develop a comfortable rhythm using unfamiliar vocabulary and the ideas behind them. Patience, young one, and you will feel empowered, not intimidated on test day!My method involves students in developing their own ways of learning and exploring what makes sense to them. We all come from different backgrounds and connect with material in different ways. Together we can develop this as a strength so that you have your own set of tools that you can apply to any problem. This, ultimately, is the test of any academic pursuit. I am comfortable reaching out and adapting the material whether it be SAT, SAT II, IB, AP, or classwork to where you are now.My hobbies include poetry, electronic music, ink drawings and youtube.

I have a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology from New York University, a Master of Arts in Middle Eastern Studies from the University of Chicago, and a Master of Arts in Teaching (Elementary Education) from National-Louis University. I taught Arabic in Chicago Public Schools for several years, and I also have teaching and tutoring experience with students from grades 3 through 12 in a wide variety of subjects.As an educator, my strengths include connecting with students and figuring out what helps them to become interested in what they are learning. Every student is unique, and the approach that I take in tutoring is to always look for innovative and creative ways to make the learning experience more targeted to their particular needs.

I received my EMT training at Boston University while on staff at Harvard Medical School in otolaryngology research. I am a NREMT-certified EMT holding licenses in Florida, Massachusetts and New York State. I'm currently a PhD student at Northwestern University, where I work with psychophysics, electrophysiology, neuroscience, and music. I hold degrees from NYU and UVA. I have a huge passion for EMT subject matter, where I specialize in trauma, medical/OBGYN, and EMS operations. Please let me know what you need the most help learning, and we'll create an individualized study plan to get you in a great place to pass the NREMT! I currently have a 100% NREMT pass rate with the students I've tutored, and I look forward to helping you reach your NREMT goals.

I am pursuing my Bachelor's in Chemistry at New York University. Helping fellow students has always been a passion of mine. I think that the goal of tutoring shouldn't be to simply help students pass tests or raise their grades. My goal whenever I tutor is to help the student feel confident and comfortable enough to continue growing independently long after tutoring sessions. I have tutoring experience in Reading, Math, and Sciences with all ages of elementary students, as well as Calculus and Chemistry with high school students. All these varied experiences have shown me that everyone learns in different ways. Some people need practice with fundamentals, others learn with visual representations, and so on. My goal with tutoring is to help people find the way they can understand something, allowing them to continue independently in the future.My peers and I enjoyed this so much that we started a volunteer program for NYU undergraduates to tutor in elementary schools. This has further exposed me to a large array of teaching and learning styles which I try to draw on when understanding how to help teach. This experience is a major reason why I choose to continue helping students like myself. School can be frustrating, but finding the ways that allow you as an individual to learn can transform learning into a much more fun and rewarding experience. Once I get to know individual students, I can help create practice work or assignments to solidify new skills. For some people this could mean practice problems. For others, this could mean watching assigned videos and following along. If one method doesn't seem to work, I will try something new!I specialize in high school level Sciences and Mathematics, ranging from Pre-Algebra to AP Calculus prep. This also includes preparation for SAT Subject/AP tests such as Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics (1&2). I am also experienced with elementary aged students teaching Reading and Math.

I recently graduated from NYU's Stern School of Business and had a great time helping prospective students on the GMAT. I scored extremely high through self-guided study and found I learned fun ways to teach some of the tougher concepts. I believe in making the session fun and student-driven - but also quickly finding any underlining problems with comprehension and addressing them.

My experience with tutoring stems back to my high schools days, where I would work in the language lab to help my peers increase their proficiency with Spanish and French. After graduating from high school with my IB diploma, I attended New York University, where I majored in Politics and Spanish. I then attended Loyola Marymount University where I received my master's degree in Urban Education. I have worked in education for the past 6 years, beginning as a 2012 Teach For America corps member in Los Angeles. I have taught nearly every subject in middle school classrooms, and I have taught both biology and algebra to high schoolers. My favorite subjects to tutor are mathematics and Spanish, as I find them to be the most engaging, but I enjoy and can help with nearly all content areas. When I was in school, I was (and still am!) a self-described "nerd" who really enjoyed expanding my knowledge base and taking on academic challenges. I hope to impart the idea that tackling new concepts can be fun and rewarding at the same time. Additionally, as a generally "good test taker," I enjoy helping students hone their test taking skills to achieve optimal results. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy running, listening to music, a game of tennis, or a good TV-binge session.

I am a writer, editor, producer, curator and lover of words. I spent many years holding editorial positions on both coasts (California and New York), but was happy to lay some roots and start a family back home in Minneapolis, a city alive with art, activism and stories waiting to be told. I am excited to help students craft their own words as well as assist with many other subjects, including English, writing, politics and social sciences.

Fluent in English and Spanish, with proficiency in Italian, I can support students from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds across a number of subjects ranging from English literature, to Spanish grammar, to SAT Prep and reading. Whether tutoring languages, literature, or research, I tailor my approach to each student's needs, ensuring their success and fostering lifelong learning.

Columbia and NYU graduate, passionate about helping students build confidence, think critically, and actually enjoy learning.

I have always loved teaching, and I started working as a tutor in Math and Science in high school. I now teach a wide variety of subjects from Physics to Essay Writing to Math at every level, as well as standardized testing for SAT and GRE. I love tutoring because it combines two of my favorite activities: tackling complex ideas and engaging with people. It is so special to watch a student grasp a new concept that seemed entirely opaque only a few minutes earlier.I majored in theater and astrophysics at Columbia University and I am now a playwriting MFA at NYU, one of the best programs in the country (the story of how I transitioned from physics to theater is pretty funny and I???m happy to share it). While my intensive study of advanced Math and Physics helps me tutor those subjects, I find my theater skills are just as valuable to effective teaching. As a playwright, I have learned to explain ideas efficiently, inspire excitement, and connect with an audience. Using these techniques, I hope to make my students not only better at individual subjects, but also help them fall in love with the beauty of new ideas.

I am a personable and enthusiastic educator with more than a decade of tutoring and classroom teaching experience. I started as a peer tutor in high school and continued working as a tutor and Teaching Assistant in college. After receiving a degree in Biochemistry from NYU, I joined the Peace Corps, where I was assigned to teach high school Math, Science, and English. I loved teaching so much that I stayed to continue teaching and tutoring even after my tour of service had ended. After returning to the US, I received my MPH in 2018 and my PhD in 2026. Because of my extensive and varied experience, I am willing and able to teach students of all ages and learning styles.

My philosophy about education can be summed up in one word. Accessibility. One of my favorite quotes is from Albert Einstein. "If you truly understand Physics, you should be able to explain it to a barmaid." This I believe sums up my philosophy about teaching Physics. It should be accessible and fun for everyone to learn. In my career I have strived to make this my number one priority no matter the subject. I believe that the laws of Physics are the basic building blocks of the universe and should be not only studied, but understood by all. In every role I have had in my career I have been an instructor. Even within the explosives industry I was teaching people how to safely use the materials. I taught classes within my builder's club that I volunteered for, the Carolina Pyros, on a variety of skills. All taught from a mindset of accessibility. I have had numerous people come up to me after classes and say "I never knew I could learn how to set up a fireworks show. Thank you!" And when the show goes up, they know that they did that. This continues to warm my heart and drive me to come up with better and more engaging lessons. The ability to reach and teach the masses is what drives me. I believe that the more people you can reach with a subject, the more you can help the world become a better place. After all, knowledge is power!

I am a graduate of New York University where I received my BFA in Film and Television with a minor in Business, Entertainment, Media, and Technology. My curriculum had a strong focus on liberal arts, which I apply to my tutoring every day. I cover a range of subjects including Language Arts, High School, and College Essay Editing, and even career-focused skills such as Powerpoint and Public Speaking. I truly enjoy helping students and I take pride in helping them reach their full potential. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading, cooking, and watching movies.

Born in US, raised in Shanghai, China, then moved back to US for college, I am fluent in both English and Mandarin. Eager to help others, I've been tutoring every chance I got; even my focus within my major (Economics) is on Development Economics (helping the poor countries). Patient and with a kind heart, let me help you tackle the challenges you are facing academically!

I am currently a junior at New York University, majoring in Mathematics with a minor in Business Studies. I have been a tutor all throughout high school and I have lots of leadership experience geared towards younger children.

As a dedicated public high school chemistry teacher, I bring years of hands-on experience helping students master challenging concepts and build confidence in science. I work daily with students of all levels, so I'm deeply familiar with the current high school chemistry curriculum, including Honors and AP content. My goal is to make chemistry meaningful and approachable by connecting it to real-world applications from the food we eat to the technology we use every day. Students describe my teaching style as patient, clear, and encouraging. I believe that every learner can succeed with the right strategies and support. Whether a student needs help preparing for an exam, strengthening foundational skills, or reigniting their excitement for science, I create personalized lessons that meet their needs. I love teaching because it allows me to share my enthusiasm for chemistry and inspire curiosity about the world around us. If you're looking for a tutor who will bring energy, expertise, and practical study tips to every session, I'd be excited to help you reach your goals!

After graduating from NYU's Gallatin school with an individualized major in Art History, Writing, and Studio Art, I have gone on to enroll in Hunter College's Graduate School of Education where I am studying Childhood and Special Education. English tutoring is my speciality. I especially enjoy tutoring reading, grammar, phonics, reading comprehension, essay writing, and ACT prep.I approach tutoring with patience and am mindful of each student's individual learning needs. I enjoy working with students to reach their unique goals, and am happiest when students are satisfied with and proud of their improvements and accomplishments.

I've been tutoring professionally in homes and in institutions (NYU) for over eight years now. I have a breadth of knowledge when it comes to the SHSAT and SAT and all levels of mathematics as I am an engineer by profession. I graduated from New York University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. Numbers are my thing :). I work at your pace where ever you may be.

A passion for learning has always defined me, and I believe that curiosity and confidence are the keys to understanding any subject. Perhaps this curiosity is also why I particularly enjoy scientific disciplines like Biology and Physics, and why studying literature or history always leaves me inspired.I graduated with a BFA in Dance and a Minor in Web Programming and Applications from New York University Tisch School of the Arts. I have worked as an after school tutor with middle-school and high-school students. I also teach modern dance classes for adults and regularly work as a light-board operator for live shows in the Atlanta area.

Hi there! Please allow me to introduce myself. A little bit of a background on my education: I did my Undergraduate from Syracuse University in Bio-engineering and my Masters in Electrical Engineering from NYU Poly. I'm an Electrical Engineer with 12 years of experience between the defense industry and railroad. I'm currently waiting to start my certification program with the help of MIT's Professional Education program in Applied Business Analytics so I may make better business decisions that are data driven. I should be earning my certification by the end of this academic year.

I'm currently a senior at New York University. I originally started college as a pre-medical student, but then switched to a Psychology major, with a Biology and Chemistry double minor after I decided Medical school just wasn't for me. My plan for he future is still undecided, however I'm leaning towards pursuing a higher degree in Genetics. I loved school when I was growing up, and science and math classes were my favorite subjects because they made the most sense to me, but I understand that they can become very challenging very fast.My past tutoring experience involved mostly mathematics tutoring in subjects such as geometry and algebra, but I feel just as confident in my knowledge about the science courses to be equally helpful.As a tutor, I like to get to the core of the problem that my students are having with their respective subjects. I am a firm believer in going back to the very basics and building a strong foundation to build upon as the material becomes more difficult.I try to keep a light-hearted environment when I tutor mostly because of my personality, but also because I've realized that being in a very low stress environment is very conducive to learning.Let me help you achieve the grades you want, and hopefully you'll enjoy it as much as I do!

I am a graduate of New York University and received my Bachelor of Science in Finance. I also completed my premedical coursework at NYU and will be attending medical school in July 2015 as my next step to becoming a pediatrician. Ever since high school, I have tutored and worked with children of all ages and from all backgrounds. As a tutor at Mathnasium, I worked with elementary and middle school students to improve their math skills. In college, I worked for America Reads and served as a reading tutor for 3rd graders in a NYC public school. And after graduation, I spent my time before medical school teaching self-contained 4th grade in Houston ISD. While I tutor a wide range of age groups and content areas, I am most passionate about tutoring math, science, and college admission tests (SAT and ACT). As a public school teacher, I am also very familiar with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade STAAR strategies and content. I have had a lifelong passion for working with children, teaching, learning, and math/science. I truly enjoy building relationships with my students and watching them grow academically. Besides teaching children, some of my hobbies include: hiking, skiing, swimming, working with animals, and enjoying the great outdoors.

Hi! My name is Maddie and I'm a tutor specializing in English, writing, reading and homework help for Elementary and Middle School students, as well as essay writing for high schools. I have about five years of experience working as a tutor (mainly for young folks!) in NYC, more than 10 years of care giving experience, and truly love working with students.I'm a NYU Tisch Grad with a degree in drama and a minor in business; I graduated with high honors from Tisch with a final GPA of 3. 7. I'm currently pursuing a career in acting and screenwriting, while also working as a producer on a live monthly comedy show. In addition to tutoring, I also coach students for acting auditions and speech/voice skills. Whether it's preparing a final essay on Romeo and Juliet, working through daily homework tasks, or nailing that end of semester presentation, I'm here to help. I'd love to share my passion and help your students discover the joy that learning can bring to their lives!

Any teacher should always strive to improve instruction and their understanding of the community in which they teach, the school, the classroom, their students, and themselves. After all, teaching is more than something we do; it is a part of who we are. Teaching is not just a job but also a way of life. I have been a teacher my whole life. Even when I was in elementary school, I would teach my brother and cousins addition and multiplication facts. Into high school, I shared my passion for mathematics by presenting and sharing mathematics to other students at the Al Kalfus Long Island Math Fair, and then supervising the Peer Tutoring Program through National Honor Society. In college, although not sure at first of my career path, I decided teaching mathematics was what I was good at and what I enjoyed doing, and something I needed to do. So, I assisted a middle school mathematics teacher in her classroom to start pursuing this career as well as learn more about the classroom structure and teacher techniques. Furthermore, I commuted to New Jersey every week to teach students mathematics at my grandmother’s learning center, started an internship with Chess-in-the-Schools to help them start their College Bound tutoring program, and tutored and graded for the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. However, I was interested in other ways of learning and teaching that were less traditional, and I became a site leader for an Alternative Breaks trip to Nicaragua for Public Health and Education and became a Resident Assistant at Lafayette Residence Hall. However, my interests and hobbies expand into many categories including playing piano and saxophone, doing gymnastics, participating in German culture, Bollywood and country music (I really like all genres though). I can solve a Rubik's cube in three minutes. I also speak Spanish, and I am from Wantagh, Long Island.

I graduated as Valedictorian from Stony Brook University with my B.A. in Spanish Language & Literature. I have been studying Spanish since the 6th grade and have spent extensive periods of time abroad, which range from taking linguistics classes in Madrid to doing farm work in rural Mexico. I love to learn and teach others. While finding the right answer is important, I also want my students to develop critical thinking skills that can be transferred to many realms of life. "Bring a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime."
