I am a graduate of Hamilton College in upstate NY and recently received my Master's degree in Physiology & Biophysics from Stony Brook University. I am a pre-med student with a Bachelor's degree in Economics with minors in Chemistry and Biology. I will be starting medical school in the fall and have experience in the application process. I enjoy providing advice and feedback to individuals who are on a similar track.I am the oldest of 4 children, therefore I have a lot of experience with helping young students learn, as well as a lot of patience. Most recently, I worked as a STEM instructor at Launch Math and Science Centers in NYC on the Upper West Side. That experience made me realize how passionate I am about engaging students in the STEM field and education in general and how important it is to make learning a fun process. I love tutoring students in math, science, and economics because I have a strong background and foundation in these areas. I also wish that I had been introduced to the STEM and economics fields at a younger age, therefore my goal with tutoring is to inspire the students that I work with. I love tutoring in economics because I believe it provides essential concepts for any field that a student is eager to pursue. For example, I have found economics to be extremely applicable to the healthcare field, which is one of the main reasons that I chose to major in it.In addition, I lived abroad in Morocco for 10 years and had the opportunity to help students prepare for their AP exams and applications to universities in the United States. My long-term career goals include going to medical school and becoming an Ob/gyn. I hope to someday treat women in underserved regions of the world. In the meantime, I enjoy working in my research lab, cooking, traveling, and kickboxing.

I am deeply interested in ethics, and part of my value system is a strong belief in the transformative power of knowledge and wisdom. I aim to one day become a professor of philosophy (particularly ethics), and I am currently in the process of preparing for a joint JD/PhD in Philosophy. Consequently, I am interested in both theoretical and applied ethics. One of my core talents is the ability to convey concepts in multiple ways, and I like to think of studying philosophy as learning how to say complicated things with simple words.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) with focus on Business and Marketing at Stony Brook University, NY, USA. Since 2008, I have been working as a Teaching Assistant and Substitute Teacher in private and public schools in NY USA.I have served for three years as the Head of the Business & Marketing Department in Bahria College, Islamabad, Pakistan. During my time as Head, I worked directly under the Principal to develop new curricula for A’ Levels and O’ Levels, interviewing new candidates, organizing college-wide events, organizing tours for new students and managing all associated paperwork and correspondence.Simultaneously, I had the privilege of teaching economics and business studies to the O’ & A’ Levels (the British System equivalent to Grade 9-12 & first two years of Undergraduate Studies).In that capacity, I strongly believe in a philosophy of lifelong learning to meet the challenges of global competence. Keeping this vision in mind, I have been able to remain sensitive to the needs of students for exploring comprehensive multi-disciplinary studies, preparation for work, academic and social competence and a sense of citizenship that incorporates the cultures of all students into instruction.These are some of the courses I have completed towards accomplishing my Master of Arts in Liberal Studies (MA/LS) that have widened my perspective and vision towards HR and its relation with the Business needs and Management: Ethics in Management, Organizational Change Management, Foundations of Human Resource Management, Survey of Labor/Employment Relations, HR Management Workshop, and The Uses and Abuses of Technology.
I graduated from CUNY Hunter College with my Masters in English Literature in 2019, marking the end to a long period of intense study and travel. Since then, I have gone on to become an instructor and tutor for first-year undergraduates and older adult students at my local community college, where I have helped to coach students on ways to improve their writing and research strategies for their schoolwork and other projects. While my field of study focuses primarily on English Literature, I am eager to learn more about History, Philosophy, and the many areas of science.I try to maintain a relaxed environment while working with students, treating my one-on-one sessions like friendly conversations, which I find helps to put students at their ease even in the face of approaching deadlines. That being said, my sessions can be as in-depth as needed. While I am happy to advise on grammar and spelling, I will switch the focus to important content concerns if I see fundamental issues that need to be addressed. My goal is to help students stay on task, and to ensure that their arguments in writing are supported by strong details and the appropriate use of evidence.Teaching undergraduates has given me a unique perspective as I now approach my first year teaching as a certified teacher for high school English. I have seen for myself the importance of college readiness, and I have made it a professional goal of mine to better prepare students for the rigors of academic writing later in life.When I am not reading for research or for fun, I'm a shameless nerd, and I love to talk about my latest hyperfixation in the worlds of movies, TV, anime, or video games.
I graduated from SUNY Maritime College in 2012 with a bachelor's degree in business, and I am now studying physics at Stony Brook University. My personal philosophy is that anything is possible when someone has a goal he or she set for herself or himself and he or she willing to put in the effort to attain that goal, even if the steps in between are difficult or not very interesting to them. That goal can be as simple as passing a single test or as big as knowing exactly what they want to do one day and working as hard as they can to achieve it. My favorite subject is Physics because I love seeing how the universe works; I also enjoy math because it's a huge part of Physics!My method is to first make sure the student knows exactly what the question is asking them to find, then break the question down into as many simple steps as needed to show the student how to progress to the right answer. Rather than perform each step for them, I prefer to guide the student from one step to the next ensuring they understand why each step is necessary before moving on to the next. Besides that, practice makes perfect!
I am currently a sophomore at Stony Brook University. I am in the process of declaring a Multidisciplinary Studies, which means I'll be studying three concentrations: Philosophy, Religious Studies, and Applied Math and Statistics. I want to use AMS to help me get a job in Data Science, so that I can earn enough to get a PhD. in Philosophy.I have been tutoring ever since high school. I enjoy helping out those around me, whether they are clients or fellow peers. I have experience tutoring in fields as varied as Latin and Calculus. I have continued tutoring in college, helping out students with subjects such as Calculus 2 and Algebra. However, I think my specialty lies in test preparation, specifically with the SAT. Like many students, I had a great deal of trouble preparing for the SAT. But I realized that doing well on the SAT doesn't simply require hard work or mastery over the concepts involved (though they are important), it requires a targeted approach that familiarizes you with the style and approach of the examination. I went through a great deal of practice preparing for the SAT and learned a great deal that I can pass on to other students. Furthermore, I enjoy working with students and am good at understanding at what's going through their heads so that I can help them master concepts more quickly.My favorite hobby would have to be reading, since it is a lifelong passion that my sister imparted to on to me. I also enjoy going to the gym, bicycling, running, and watching The Flash.
I was a straight A student in high school, graduate Cum Laude from Stony Brook University, and went on to attend Cornell University for my MBA. Currently I'm a start-up consultant. I've always enjoyed teaching, however, that's why I like tutoring. I've a teaching assistant many times over, both in undergrad and grad school. I've also been a private tutor since high school. My goal is help you achieve, if not exceed your own. I believe in using a student's background and interests to help them understand concepts they may not grasp upon first review. I'm always available as a resource online when there in person. I really do enjoy tutoring, and I can't wait to be yours.

I have my masters in Occupational Therapy and graduated from NYU. I also have my Bachelors of Art in Psychology and graduated from Stony Brook University. I have been working with students with special needs for 9 years. I primarily work with fine motor skills including handwriting and formation of letters. I collaborate with teachers and will work with them in the classroom and follow the common core standards. I also communicate with parents and will work on meeting the goals of the student. If you decide to work with me, I promise to be flexible, patient, and hardworking.
I am a sophomore at Stony Brook University studying biology and on the pre-med track. I've always been very passionate when it comes to helping people! I have no problem accommodating or tailoring my methods to one's needs in order for them to gain confidence in the material they need to succeed. I find that a comfortable environment leads to ideal learning and I'm excited to build strong relationships and trust with my tutees.
I have always been a goal oriented and reaching-for-the-stars individual. As a New York native, I graduated as the salutatorian from high school with regents' honors. I have excelled with 95%+ in all of my high school regents examinations. As a high school student I fell in love with Math & Science and frequently tutored my colleagues who were struggling with their classes. In my senior year of high school I achieved the NY1 Scholar Athlete scholarship and was placed on the NYC Chancellor's Honor Roll. I then went on to Stony Brook University where I graduated with my Bachelors of Science in Biology. At Stony Brook, I was on the Dean's List every semester and a Golden Key Honor Society Member. After completing my undergraduate science classes, I became a Teaching Assistant for Biology and Chemistry. As a teaching assistant, I met with students on a one to one basis during office hours and helped strengthen their problem areas.After undergrad, I went to medical school and graduated with honors. During medical school I tutored and prepared students for the United States Medical License examinations. I prepared and delivered daily lectures for the internal medicine students and increased the pass rate from 65% to 90%. I completed my medical clerkships and attained my M.D. December 2014.I am committed, devoted and conscientious to everything I set my mind on and my decision to tutor reflects my lifelong desire for personal growth and education. When tutoring, I believe that 'diagnosing' a student's weakness is essential to building a strong foundation. It is my motto to work hard and give nothing less than my very best. It brings joy to me and the thrill of seeing a student improve with my help drives my compassion and love for teaching. Teaching not only excites me but has become a part of me that I am dedicated to and passionate about. In my spare time I enjoy playing volleyball and running various races and marathons.
