Yiyang is a young scientist specializing in genetics and genomic studies. She holds both a M.D. and a Ph.D. degree. She has a passion to use her knowledge and skills to help younger generations to learn and grow. Yiyang tutors biology-related subjects at all levels from high school to graduate school.

I have tutored mainly math-related subjects for K-12 and college students for more than 5 years. I utilize graphs, interesting symbols, and a more user-friendly language to convey complex math concepts according to my students. I also teach conversational Chinese Mandarin. My goal is to let my students learn the subject efficiently and be prepared for exams, such as PSAT, SAT, or GRE, in a rather relaxing environment.

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.

My name is Melody and I am currently a graduate student at Teachers College, Columbia University studying Clinical Psychology. I have spent the last 6 years studying psychology and sociology. Some of my hobbies are running and doing yoga. I love to play piano, walk my dogs, and eat! I have been to most of western Europe, Mexico, and am planning on traveling some more before I start my doctoral degree.I have been tutoring students for the past 6 years in both formal and informal settings. I have tutored primarily in social sciences (psychology and sociology), English (writing, editing, and literature), and biology. My tutoring style varies depending on who I am working with - for example, if someone is a learner by doing then I won't have them watch me do a practice example, instead I will give them one and have them talk me through the steps they are going through. Each student is unique and should feel empowered! I like to foster that and have each student feel like they are actually in control of their learning.

I have my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Villanova University, a MBA from Rutgers University, and a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Stony Brook University where my GPA was 3.6. I passed the NCLEX on my first attempt with 85 questions. I believe that making sure one's fundamentals are sound before proceeding onto more difficult subject matters. I look forward to helping others pass the NCLEX.

I graduated Cum Laude with departmental honors from Stony Brook University, and with Merit from the Master of Letters program in Creative Writing from the University of Glasgow. In New York City, I still find that some are most impressed by my diploma from Stuyvesant High School.Recently, I tutored a few students for a SAT preparation program and came to enjoy it, especially in a smaller setting where the lessons can be catered to the individual needs of the student. For an English major, I'm very data driven, concerned with the most efficient ways for anyone taking tests to improve their score, as well as their opportunities for higher education. In my spare time, I enjoy writing, hiking, movies, cooking, politics, and literature.

I am an experienced math tutor and have tutored all math levels from pre-algebra to multivariable calculus/differential equations. I served as the mathematics tutor for my undergraduate university's college of engineering where I worked with college students on achieving success in their courses. My teaching philosophy is that anyone can learn and achieve mastery in math, we just have to figure out what the best way to break down concepts is and simplify steps as much as possible. There are many, many ways to approach math problems, the trick is finding the one that makes to most sense to each individual. I hold a double bachelors degree in Applied Mathematics and Economics from Stony Brook University and am working on my PhD in Economics.

Hi! I'm Aderinsola, (Sola for short) and I graduated with my Bachelors in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University and my Masters in Biophysics/Physiology from Stony Brook University. While I was in college, I realized that the best way to comprehend what is taught isn't always in a classroom, but through your peers so I'm ready to help you in any way I can by simplifying everything into everyday language.I most recently worked with an enrichment program teaching science and math to elementary, middle, and high school aged children, and I figured that I loved it so much that I should expand past the four walls of my school. Plus I love the look on kids' faces when they finally get it!To some people math looks like a whole different language, but I understand it enough to turn it into simple english. I promise it's not as hard as they might make it in the classroom and I'm here to strengthen your skills so that you can see that too!I also LOVE science, even went back and got a second degree in it, so I'm pretty well rounded when it comes to biology, biochemistry, and physiology. Again, for some these subjects seem like a different, intangible world, but I promise that I can make it real, tangible and understandable.I want to help students as much as possible, and I plan on doing so through some innovative and exciting learning. I'm easy to reach and I'll always provide fast responses.Please feel free to contact me!

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Psychology with a focus on the sciences as I followed a pre-dental course track. Since graduation, I have applied to and been accepted to the Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine, which I will be attending starting in August. I had previously been an SAT tutor with a test prep company for two years and I have experience in tutoring college level Physics at my University. As a result of my work experience and college education, I am proficient in all the SAT sections, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, general Essay Writing, Biochemistry, and Psychology. I personally enjoy tutoring SAT Critical Reading and Physics the most. To me, language is beautiful and I love exploring and discussing the mechanics of analyzing literature (as students must do on the Critical Reading Section). Physics, on the other hand, explains many of the wondrous everyday phenomenon around us. As a child, I would often think about why things moved the way they did and physics gave me those answers. I enjoy traveling and have been to several US states, Egypt several times, Australia, Italy, Mexico, and the Caribbean. Some of my most memorable experiences include scuba diving in the Great Barrier Reef and sky diving. I speak Arabic semi-fluently and I enjoy reading and training in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and kickboxing. Overall, I am very approachable and patient and will do my best to serve you as a tutor!

My mission is to use my educational backing to give eager students the opportunity to acquire the assistance they need in achieving their academic goals. Being a strong student myself, I understand the dedication and effort required to excel in school and therefore I would be able to instill noteworthy values (such as time management, effective organization, and self-discipline) into prospective students who want to advance in their life. Through hard work and persistence, I will try my best to give students the ability to become more efficient in scholarly aspects as well as develop a versatile academic background. Since I am focusing my efforts on specialized exams, I will first analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the student and then provide the necessary materials accordingly in order to enhance their skills. Being that I have tutored students before, I know how to appropriately approach and assimilate to the students needs and wants. With my help, students will be able to easily reach their maximum potential and progress towards the next milestone in their life.

I am a graduate of Stony Brook University. I doubled majored in both Applied Mathematics and Psychology. I started my journey of tutoring when I was in high school. During my high school years, I started as a volunteer at a tutoring center assisting Kindergarten kids to 3rd graders with Math, English, and Art. Slowly, I became an afterschool tutor and loved the fulfilling feeling after seeing my student's betterment. Moving on to college, I carried on that passion for tutoring and become a Teacher Assistant for both Multivariable Calculus and Financial Mathematics classes to help my peers with their questions on class materials. After graduating from college, I helped my friend in prepping for her GRE because I wanted her to study more effectively for the test instead of wasting time trying out different studying techniques and various test prep materials.While I tutored a broad range of subjects, I am the most passionate about tutoring math as I have firm confidence in my knowledge of mathematics, and I mostly helped students with their math courses. During my tutoring experiences, I am a tutor who likes to utilize examples and real-life scenarios in my explanation.

I love tutoring and helping students facing any difficulties in Math and Statistics. I served as a teaching assistant for basic Mathematics and Statistics courses when I was completing my Masters degree at Stony Brook University. I received my Bachelors degree from Columbia University, where I also served as a tutor. I have also tutored countless number of CUNY students studying to pass the CUNY Assessment test in Math. Each student is unique, and I understand that the techniques and style I use is tailored directly towards the needs of the student. I am a very good listener, and I try my best to make my students very comfortable at all times. My main objective is to provide the best service available to my students, and the student is always my number one priority.

I am a PhD candidate in English literature dedicated to teaching writing, reading comprehension, and literary analysis.

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.

I am a graduate of Binghamton University and Stony Brook University. I earned a B.S degree in Computer Science and M.S. degree in Business. As a personal tutor, my primary goal is to help my students discover a hidden sweetness in the so called bitterness of education, in the hope that one day that sweetness of knowledge will guide them to a wonderland no one has ever seen before. In my spare time, I enjoy designing hardware and software systems, researching and surfing the net, traveling, and listening to music.

I am a mechanical engineering student at Stony Brook University in an accelerated B.E./M.S. program. Currently I am finishing up both of my undergraduate and graduate degrees. I decided to become a tutor because I love academia, and I use math as well as physics daily. After my first few sessions I came to love it, and I have been doing it for a number of years now. I have tutored students ranging from elementary school through college, but my favorite level to help students is high school. In my sessions I like to show students the reason behind everything. I believe if you know why you're doing something, you can more easily understand how to do it. When I have some free time I like to work on small engineering projects. I just got my hands on a programmable micro-controller, and I have been making it do some pretty neat things! I also like to go biking.

Ever since I was a little kid, I have always loved math and the physical sciences. I worked hard in high school, undergrad, and graduate school to expand my knowledge on the subject and become an expert in math. I know that math isn't everyone's favorite subject, so I'm here to share the tips and tricks that I've picked up in algebra, calculus, statistics, and trig with everyone.I'm always happy to lend a hand to those who need help. If you're having trouble in mathematics, let me know and and I'll help you to understand it!

I earned my PhD in physics (New York University) and work in nanotechnology research and development. I worked as a teaching assistant throughout my graduate school years (which there were seven of!), also taking on a number of private tutoring students during that time. My teaching experience has been in physics and in several areas of mathematics, from algebra through calculus. I've also tutored my own children successfully through math and physics over the years.I enjoy teaching these subjects because students can be helped to excel in them by learning to think in a quantitative way. This skill is important for life in our technological society.The best way to teach goes beyond "picking the right formula to use." Mastery of this type of subject matter comes from being able to ask "what is it I'm trying to accomplish by asking this question? What is the item - that can be quantified - that I need to extract from the problem material at hand?" Then the formula becomes a tool to aid in turning the data into a solution.

I have a AS degree in Mathematics and a BS degree in Biochemistry from Stony Brook University. I am an aspiring physician who recently took the MCAT. I have been a tutor for six years. I have tutored high school and college students in subjects including chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics (from pre algebra to differential equations). I have also worked at Stony Brook University as a college biology lecturer. I like to use a hands on approach to tutoring rather than just lecturing, although I find it best to adapt my methods to the learning style of each individual student.I love to dance, especially ballet. I also love to learn new languages. Currently, I am continuing my studies of Spanish, and learning American Sign Language. I would like to become fluent in French and Mandarin Chinese in the future.I absolutely love teaching and would love to help out anyway I can!

Hi! I'm happy to help with anything you need related to History, English/Literature, Religious Studies, Social Studies, Essay Writing and Editing, Study Skills and Homework Help. I earned by B.A. from Hofstra University, and I'm a Distinguished Graduate from their Honors College. I earned two Masters degrees from Stony Brook University, and I'm a published historian.I work as an adjunct professor at SUNY Farmingdale and Suffolk County Community College, and have also taught at Queensborough Community College, SUNY Old Westbury, Stony Brook University and Briarcliffe College.When I'm not digging through archives about Native Americans (a favorite of mine), I also write fiction of the fantasy, romance, and horror variety.Not a day goes by that I don't eat chocolate.

I am a recent graduate of Stony Brook University (SUNY) from where I received my Bachelor of Sciences in Applied Mathematics & Statistics with a concentration in Physical Sciences. Throughout my undergraduate career, I was fortunate enough to participate in several research-oriented internships in New York and Maryland. These allowed me to gain invaluable experience and apply my knowledge to real-life applications. In addition, I have experience tutoring fellow classmates in courses such as physics, probability/statistics, and linear algebra; however, my favorite subject to teach is calculus and I've found it to be the most challenging to learn. My philosophy of teaching heavily focuses on practice problems and examples while maintaining a personable, stress-free environment. Outside of the classroom you can find me playing or watching sports, meeting with friends, and listening to music.

I am a rising junior at Stony Brook University (SBU), double majoring in English and Psychology with a minor in Women and Gender Studies. Currently, I am completing my research for my Honors English thesis, though I am also a Teacher's Assistant and Resident Assistant! While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite topics to teach are Literature and essay editing. I truly value being able to share my love for these topics with students, with the hopes that they too will get excited about reading and writing. In my experience, helping struggling students to break through any mental block is essential to their learning process. As someone who struggled with math and science classes throughout high school (and even in my Undergraduate career), I understand how frustrating it can be to grasp certain topics, so I feel that encouraging students is just as important as teaching them the material at hand. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing the guitar, and spending time with my friends!

After working as a high school English teacher in New York for ten years, I came to Austin to pursue a PhD in Curriculum and Instruction at UT.Working with students on an individual basis is a wonderful opportunity for me to craft a personalized approach to subject matter and techniques. I especially enjoy working with students on their writing, whether personal essays or application statements that they have time to edit and revise, or on-demand writing tasks that appear on tests like the SAT or the AP Exam.

As a slow learner and an ex high school struggling student, I would have never imagined I would now be pursuing a bachelor's degree in civil engineering at Stony Brook University. Therefore, I want to share my story with all types of students and motivate them to become wherever it is that they aspire to be. As a high school alumnus, current college student and tutor, I emphasize certain techniques to better understand a new foreign concept, I am a firm believer of visual representations, repeated audios, and concept application skills to convert student's weaknesses into their strengths. I love to be part of my students' school journey and tutor them in Spanish, algebra, geometry, calculus, physics, and chemistry. However, my favorite subjects to tutor are mechanics of solid, statics, and dynamics because I find them to be very interesting.When I am not at the library studying, you can always find me watching comedy movies and eating strawberry mochi ice cream.

I'm all about problem solving; whether designing drugs, computer applications, or basic chemistry and math problems it all starts with the same steps:A) What do I know?B) What do I want to know?C) How do I get from A to B?I did PhD research in computational chemistry and dream of becoming a middle school math teacher if I win the lottery.PS - My online sessions will frequently be monitored by my chihuahua, Piper. She's quiet, but expect a pop-by :)

As a devotee of educational importance, I cannot be more determined and excited to see new faces and spread the knowledge that has been bestowed upon me. I am a Syosset High School graduate, a part of the Stony Brook University Class of 2020, and a future part of the Stony Brook Medicine Class of 2024. As a member of the Honors College and the Scholars for Medicine program, I am working towards a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Chemistry in my undergraduate studies and will be working towards a Doctor of Medicine (MD) degree in my graduate studies at Stony Brook Hospital.Ever since junior year of high school, I've been exposed to a plethora of tutoring opportunities that have helped me perfect my skills in the field. I've worked as a volunteer tutor, an employee for the Kumon Learning Center, and as a private tutor. I've allocated 650 hours of tutoring experience towards the academic progression of elementary, middle, and high school students alike, and I can't wait to tutor you next!Over the span of my tutoring experience, I've taught subjects ranging from middle and high school mathematics and sciences to SAT/ACT/AP examination prep, with a strong focus in the latter. My favorite subjects to tutor are those covered by standardized exams because, as a student who formerly performed poorly on these exams, I've experienced not only the struggle from scoring inadequately but also the joy and relief from improving significantly and overcoming the odds. This is why my mission is to ensure each and every one of my students experiences the same jaw-dropping improvement that I experienced.

I am biologist passionate about teaching and making peoples lives easier.

I am a recent medical school graduate from Dow University. Using proven techniques to memorize and understand key concepts, I teach my students how to break down the most difficult questions. It can be an overwhelming task to memorize the massive amount of information expected of a student in an anatomy or physiology course. The key is not memorization, but pacing yourself, practice and placing key concepts at the beginning and end of each session. Having a basic understanding of how our brain memorizes and processes information is an essential prerequisite for all students. I have over 5 years of tutoring experience from medical school in subjects including Anatomy, Physiology, Pharmacology, Microbiology and many other health sciences courses.

I'm a biology student at Stony Brook University and a past researcher in neuroscience and x-ray protein crystallography. My background has been heavy handed with Biology and Chemistry courses and has drawn on a thorough and frequent use of algebra as a basis for most of my work. I grew up in Queens, NY and attended a small private school for most of my education prior to university. Having been a student in a small high school and a student in a huge university, I most definitely have an appreciation for personalized attention when endeavoring to learn any subject.

I absolutely love teaching! I've taught ESL, Spanish and Italian to students ages 7 through adulthood! I teach Spanish and Italian in a high school during the day and then teach ESL to adults and young children two evenings each week. During the summer months you'd think I'd rest right? Nope! I take my amazing 12 year old son and we travel to Central America to help build homes during the morning hours and I then spend the afternoons alternating between a middle school and a high school teaching ESL. I consider myself blessed to say that I have a career doing something I absolutely love and enjoy!I was raised in New York and received a B.A. in Hispanic Languages and Literature from SUNY Stony Brook. While doing my undergraduate study, I concentrated my studies in the Central and South American regions. My Master's degree is in Romance Languages (Italian/Spanish), also from SUNY Stony Brook.When I am not teaching or studying, I enjoy reading, going to the movies, boxing, and traveling! Well, I think that about wraps me up in a nutshell!Looking forward to meeting you soon!-Esme

I have many years of experience in competitive mathematics as I was the former co-captain of the NYC ARML math team. I have an unique approach with illustrating mathematics.

Throughout high school I had inspirational teachers that influenced my need to enrich the lives of students. As a graduate from Stony Brook University with a Bachelors Degree in Earth and Space Science for Education, I am confident that I can utilize my knowledge to benefit the learning processes of students of various ages. I believe it is important to relate students academic and extra curricular interests to what I am tutoring, therefore we can focus on the positives! Nothing makes me happier to see a students light bulb go on after struggling with a subject! My goal as a tutor is to engage students throughout the learning process. As a self proclaimed science nerd, I believe that we should ask questions. I will encourage my students to go beyond what they are learning and ask "why" the world is the way it is!It is important to me that not only are my students gaining knowledge from me but I also learn from them. Children are our future. I find I t is imperative that we as educators teach them the fundamentals of science and math so they can grow into the thinkers that change the world!

Hello to all my students! My name is Irfan, and I am more than happy to help. I am a medical doctor with strengths in anatomy, biology, and several other sciences. I was once where you were, and I fully understand that sometimes some subjects are just too difficult to understand. I believe, however, from my experience that no subject is too difficult. The key is to break down the topics in simpler terms that are easy to digest! After that, you will be able to tackle anything. I am here to assist you on your journey and look forward to working with you! :)

As a 4th year undergraduate student at Stony Brook University, I understand how difficult school can be. I have gone through my share of trail and error in how to study. I also understand that not every method of studying works for everyone and some subjects require different methods of studying. But in all cases, perseverance is necessary to succeed. I have been a teacher's assistant for general and organic chemistry. I have also tutored for molecular biology and basic statistics. Throughout my time, I have learned that students are smarter than they believe. Most of the time, students just need clarification, patience, and encouragement.A little about myself: I am a pre-med student with a major in Health Science and a concentration in Public Health. My end goal is to one day work for the World Health Organization, traveling the world and helping to prevent epidemics such as Ebola and malaria. But in the mean time, I focus much of my time tutoring, so I can help others achieve the academic success that I have had.

I have a B.A. in Political Science and a Masters of Arts in Teaching.For over ten years, I have worked in a high school resource room program providing academic support to students in small groups. My experience is mostly with 11th and 12th grade students and I know their curriculum well. I provide support in most of their major courses. I have had extensive experience tutoring students privately as well, both on the high school and college levels. I have privately tutored students in social studies, social sciences, literature, math and some science. My approach to teaching is very student centered because I think each student needs to be treated as an individual to maximize their educational experience. In my spare time, I enjoy music, art and the beach.

I'm a student at Stonybrook University working on a Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology. I love working with students ranging from elementary/middle school common core subjects to high school level English and Math. My favorite subjects to teach in are History (or other social studies) and English, I have a passion for history and literature and would love to help any student with writing essays, proof reading and among other things. Geometry and Algebra are also another strong suit of mine!

I am a graduate of Queens College and Stony Brook University. I received my Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in history with a focus on American history after World War II. I wrote my Master of Arts thesis on equal rights which I am incredibly passionate about. While I have experiencing tutoring a broad range of subjects, I am extremely interested in history. I firmly believe it is important to learn about not only the history of our country, but the history of the world. This is crucial because it shows how one event can be crucial to the country weather economically, socially or politically. I strongly believe that one is never too old to learn something new and that knowledge is power. In my spare time I enjoy running, exploring Long Island and New York City, and reading, especially books about World War II and Vietnam.

I am a rising senior at Stony Brook University and I have just taken my Dental Admissions Test (DAT). Working with students and meeting their needs has been a major part of my life outside of school. I worked at a local tutorial while I attended Brooklyn Technical High School after taking the Specialized High School Exam (SHSAT). I taught the math portion of the SHSAT examination for multiple years and it was a rewarding experience for me as I saw many of my students get into their high school of choice. After high school, I entered Stony Brook University and had the pleasure of being a Teaching Assistant for Honors Chemistry. I will be finishing up my Bachelor's in Pharmacology and entering Dental School in the following year. Through my knowledge and years of practice in core and essential subjects such as math, chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry, I can help make your life much easier. I believe the best method for learning is understanding the concepts rather than memorizing it and this has proved to be rewarding in many ways, especially long term. Let me use my years of experience to help you understand in the most short, simple and straightforward manner possible.
