Award-Winning Tutors from University at Buffalo

I am a graduate of The University at Buffalo. I received my Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering with a focus on Structural and Geotechnical design. I currently work as a Structural Design Engineer which makes math part of my daily life. I worked as a Math and Physics tutor at the Westchester Community College for about a year and a half and I have gained a lot of experience working there. My main focus is to get the students interested in the subject they’re studying which makes learning the material a lot more efficient. My philosophy is to keep the students motivated and help them develop critical thinking skills by using as many real life examples as possible. I spend most of my spare time reading, hiking, swimming and playing basketball.

I'm a student just like you! I'm finishing up my Bachelors of Arts in Psychology at University at Buffalo. My passions are music, books, and traveling. I have a lot of experience studying Psychology, Spanish, Criminal Justice, English, and taking AP classes in high school like AP European History, AP English Language, and AP American History. The classes I'm most passionate in are political science classes, and Psychology. I'm super excited to work with new students! My tutoring style is very flexible. I prefer talking through the problems a student is facing to make sure the student can learn as much as possible! I have the most experience working with students in grades 4-10, but I will happily work with students of any age. I have experience teaching over Zoom from teaching internships, done over the COVID-19 pandemic.

I currently work as a teaching assistant at Long Island University in Biological Sciences and Human Anatomy, which requires me to have "office hours" available in order to help students that are struggling. Tutoring students can be very simple and sometimes very complicated, but I always look for ways to make analogies to things students feel more comfortable with so it doesn't seem like I'm speaking a foreign language to them. I get a personal sense of satisfaction when someone stops and goes, "oh, I've never thought of it that way before - now it all makes sense." In addition, often times I feel the education system here is misunderstood and students spend too much time memorizing "steps" to a subject rather than learning it, and inevitably end up failing when they are required to utilize the knowledge in future, more advanced work. In my experience, proper explanations toward understand subjects builds a much more lasting impression and life-long knowledge than short-term exam preparation could ever achieve.

Mathematics was a subject that I had struggled with during my primary and secondary education. I know how frustrating math can be, but with little encouragement and help, anyone can succeed in math.Even though my struggles with math through out the high school years, today Im a certified math teacher and tutor math. I have over 7 years of experience and I love every second of it.I specialize in Pre-Algebra, Algebra I & 2, Geometry and Test Prep (SAT and ACT Math). Every student has different needs and abilities. After assessing each student, (how they learn, what are their needs and abilities), I customize each lessons to address students needs and to build his/her confidence.

My goal is to inspire students to strive for greatness at all levels of their lives. Whether that's simply for one assignment or an entire course, I will be there guiding them along with whatever difficulties lie ahead. At the same time, I hope that each student will allow me the opportunity to better improve myself as both an educator and as a person. I strive for perfection in everything I do, so I am always seeking to improve myself. At the end of the day, I will always take the time to assist each person that comes to me to the best of my abilities, and hopefully being tutored by me will be an enjoyable experience for each student.

I graduated from the University at Buffalo with a BA in Media Study and a minor in Chinese. After graduation I went to live and work in China teaching English, where I stayed for eight years. I taught many different levels and subjects in both private charter schools to university graduate and undergraduate classes. I have a lot of teaching and tutoring experience and am fluent in Mandarin Chinese. I look forward to working with you to help you achieve you academic dreams.

I graduated from University at Buffalo with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences. Even though, I graduated with a science degree, I had a fond love for mathematics and took Calculus I, Calculus II, and Calculus III. After college, I wanted to travel the world while teaching students and changing their lives for the better. Thus, I got my certification in teaching. Furthermore, I decided to go to Thailand and teach kids Math and English. It was an amazing experience because it taught me that teachers can change the lives of their students by giving them the attention they need. My kids taught me as much as I taught them. I believe that learning from your students doesn't make you a good teacher but a great one.I am currently tutoring kids in SAT Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra II, and Pre-Calculus. I have a great deal of teaching experience.I have a great understanding of Math because I have taken up to Calculus III in college. Also, I am a certified teacher. I know how to make lesson plans and be prepared to teach.I have spend the last 5 years studying Biology. In college, I did some extensive research with breast cancer cells. It made me more knowledgeable.Please feel free to contact me if you want to know more or if you are interested. Thank you.

I recently graduated from the University at Buffalo with a BS in Business Administration. My junior and senior year of college I worked as a tutor and primarily taught college level macroeconomics, microeconomics and statistics. I have worked with over 40 students and have learned that each student needs to work at their own pace and take a different approach to our sessions. I incorporate study skills and test taking stechniques into y tutoring sessions because it is important that students can use these skills in other subjects as well. I know that I have done my job when a student calls me at the end of semester excited to tell me how well their final exam went. If you or your child needs help with economics, math or general study skills to keep the material fresh this summer I would be glad to work with you.

My goal as a tutor is to utilize my ten years of teaching experience to create thoughtful and engaging lesson plans that will meet the needs of each individual student I work with. I am reliable, dependable, and understand the value in building positive student relationships to increase motivation and work ethic.

I believe that everything can be learned and taught when there is a right match between a learner and a teacher

Before becoming a public school teacher in the sunshine state, I was an adjunct teaching integrated ESL and workforce English. I have 15 years of tutoring experience, assisting Chinese students with academic English and test strategies, helping American students learning mandarin, preparing middle school students for American high school admission interviews, solving problems in math, and making personalized study plans for ISEE, PSAT and SAT, but after all, building learners' confidence and giving support to parents. I also worked as executive personal assistant facilitating Chinese high school students newly arrived in the United States, local host families and overseas parents.My teaching philosophy is: there are no poor children but only unskilled teachers.

Hello,I am graduate in Computer Science from University at Buffalo (SUNY). I have always had interest and passion to study Maths and Science since secondary school. I received Letter of Appreciation in English course in 9th standard and stood among top 10% in International Mathematics Olympiad in high school, and received Academic Scholarship for two years for excellent performance in academics after 10th grade. I used to teach Maths, Science and Computer Science during school and had been tutoring since then.My subjects are Mathematics, Computer Science (Data Structures, Algorithms, Programming Languages), Physics, Chemistry, General Science and English (Reading Writing, Comprehension).

My motto is to give as much I can and yours should be to gain as much you can.Looking forward to work with you!

I am an Honor's College graduate of the University at Buffalo where I received a dual Bachelor's of Arts degree in Biological Sciences and Anthropology. During undergraduate studies, I worked as a tutor for the university's athletics department. I tutored 10-15 students twice a week in subjects varying from Biology (Evolutionary, Cellular, Microbiology), to Anatomy & Physiology to Psychology. I am currently studying for my Medical School Admissions exam, which requires me to master all of the information covered in the above listed classes. Working with so many students from different backgrounds and learning styles was challenging but rewarding. I have garnered an arsenal of teaching techniques which allows me to individualize the way I present course material to each of my students. I find that life science classes are my favorite to teach because their applicability to the real world makes for fun and interesting tutoring sessions. In my spare time, I am an advocate for social justice. I have founded two non-profits at my university; one which focuses on implementing public health infrastructure in low-income countries and one that focuses on building schools with the hopes of creating access to free quality education in rural areas of developing nations. Additionally, I work as lifeguard, swim instructor, and swim coach at my local recreation facility.

I'm Savannah-- I am a recent PhD graduate with experience teaching college-level Anatomy and Physiology, Microbiology, Genetics, and Biochemistry. I am dedicated to helping all students succeed and am excited to guide you on your academic journey in biology.

I was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea until I moved to the U.S. at the age of 19 to attend the State University of New York at Buffalo (University at Buffalo). I received my Bachelor of Arts in Media Study with a focus on Film & TV Production. Before graduating, I started my own film production company, where I've created music videos for various artists and commercials for such brands as Nike and Lotus Cars. I have also taught English in South Korea for two years. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Korean, and Filmmaking. I truly believe learning a language should be approached with the right amount of academia and the hands-on experience; I will provide a practical environment where students can learn the Korean culture, history, and expressions that they can't learn from the books. As I am extremely knowledgable in Entertainment industry both in America and South Korea, the entire class could be taught in Korean with such topics as K-CULTURE, K-POP, K-Drama, and K-Beauty. In my spare time, I enjoy working out, watching movies, and playing board games.

I'm a graduate of the University at Buffalo. I received my Masters degree in Urban Planning with a focus on Urban Design. Since graduation, I have traveled extensively (especially within Central America).In my experience, I was a teaching assistant at the University at Buffalo for an environmental design studio, I was also residential advisor (RA) and held various programs specifically arts and craft programs throughout the year. I am a firm believer in education and in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr." The function of education is to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character- that is the true goal of education." This is also part of my intent and goal for each student.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, painting, planting and hiking.

To bridge the gap between confusion and knowledge through novel approaches which aim to make mundane material easy to grasp to anyone. I have a background in Finance and accounting, a masters in supply chain, and have completed an MBA.

I have been called a professor, a teacher, a tutor, and a coach; but I prefer to be known as an educator. In each of these roles that I've played what remains most important to me are the lessons that transcend the subject. While a passing grade or a high score is a laudable accomplishment, I believe real praise should be reserved for the process. In my view, approaching a task with integrity constitutes a greater victory than any possible result. Self-reliance, a positive attitude, the benefits of practice, being responsible: these lessons enable students to succeed in both an immediate and long-term sense. These are the lessons that will empower students to better themselves in the classroom and outside of it. If I do my job correctly, my students will come to recognize that they do not need me to accomplish what they've set out to do.I have the pedigree to teach at the highest levels. I have a doctorate in Comparative Literature, I have been an instructor at the university level for eight years, I have taught internationally, and I have assisted students of all ages in everything from physics to philosophy. It has been a great privilege to have the opportunities that I have had to develop myself within this vocation. I believe, however, that my qualifications would mean little if they were not complimented by a passionate dedication to education. I feel honored to be placed in a position to help people grow, not simply as students, but as citizens of this world.

Hi, my name is DaveI just finished university with a BA in math so this stuff is fresh on my mind. Even though I am a young guy I have a lot of experience tutoring especially in math.I was raised in New York so I know how crazy and stressful these regents can be and I know how to beat them.I'm happy to be tutoring for Varsity and I'd be happy to tutor your kid if you'd like me to.

Hello! I'm hoping to help ease and bring joy to learning. I have 5 years of experience working with children, and have served teaching STEM activities as a camp counselor.

I am very excited to have the chance to work with students preparing for the PSAT, the SAT, or the LSAT! While I'm originally from Connecticut, I attended college and law school in Buffalo, New York. While there, I worked for a test prep agency helping students prepare for the SAT and the LSAT. In 2003, I moved to Richmond. I worked with the Virginia Department of Taxation for 7 years doing policy work and assisting with the legislative process. In 2011, I began working for Bryant and Stratton College, where I taught students in the Paralegal Studies program. I loved helping my students prepare for new careers. I can't wait to work with you and help you succeed as well!

I have been cultivating expertise in teaching since my high school education. My experience has included both formal teaching duties and informal conveyance of my knowledge and experience to my peers and juniors. The first time I had a notable teaching experience was when I taught the International Physics Olympiads Prep Team at a private high school for four semesters, during my junior and senior college education. I successfully designed a study curriculum, led a team of tutors in Physics, Math and Computational Science Olympiads and taught many gifted students. The year I moved to the States for my post-graduate career, I was happy to hear news of two of my students receiving medals in the National Olympiad.In the U.S., I designed and taught Precalculus, AP Calculus and SAT Math Prep courses in a private high school in New Jersey. Many of my students got scholarships from major U.S. universities. One of themeven got a perfect score in SAT Math the following year and enrolled in Duke University.Until I recently received my Ph.D., I continued to be involved in teaching activities as lecturing and tutoring college students for more than five years. I taught and lectured many different laboratory courses and lecture sessions such as Physics I: Mechanics, Physics II: Electricity and Magnetism, Mechanics Laboratory, Electricity and Magnetism Laboratory, Optics Laboratory, Modern Physics Laboratory and Quantum Physics.As of now, I have been teaching, formally and informally, for more than 13 years. Throughout my teaching life, I received outstanding evaluations from my students, in oral and written form. I believe my achievement as a teacher is a consequence of my enthusiasm about teaching and my teaching philosophy; that is to care for and respect the students and the topic to be taught.

I am a Ph.D. student at the University at Buffalo, studying English literature. My research is in nineteenth and twentieth-century, American literature, and my teaching experience is mostly in English composition and writing, in particular essay writing, making arguments, conducting humanities research, as well as providing solid instruction in writing mechanics and grammar. I have tutored and consulted writers for seven years, and I have taught writing for five.

Hey there,I am a recent graduate from the University at Buffalo receiving my bachelors in biological sciences. I have been tutoring for the past 13 years since I was a freshman in High School. My passion in life is sharing knowledge with the people around me. I hope to obtain my PhD in a few years in genetics. The human genome is a vast ocean of enigmas and finding out what precisely does what can help make great strides with future healthcare.Currently I tutor in Algebra 1 and 2, and of course Biology. With me as a tutor I hope to connect with my students about how easy the work can become with a little practice. Not all students are the same and thankfully there are many ways I can help the students excel with a little hard work. One of the greatest feelings I get is when you explain the subject to a student and they have this look of "I get it". It just shows the passion one puts into the work he or she does."I see now that the circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." -Mewtwo

I have a Bachelor's of Science degree as well as a Master's of Science degree in Applied Physiology. My educational experiences included numerous classes in biology, anatomy and physiology, nutrition, and general sciences. While I was working towards my degrees I had a Teaching Assistantship, which meant I taught lab sessions and tutored my peers who needed extra help. I currently educate and mentor women with autoimmune diseases on how to reverse their autoimmune symptoms using various lifestyle shifts and discovering the root cause of their autoimmunity. I love helping people learn the information they need to know to better themselves, whether it's to improve their health, do well on an exam, or to simply improve their knowledge in the sciences.

Definitely no stranger to academia, I have a Bachelor Degree in Linguistics from Carnegie Mellon, a Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering from University at Buffalo, and a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University. I have over a decade of tutoring experience and pride myself in really connecting with my students' learning styles and aspirations. My main strength as a tutor is in the maths, but I can also offer exemplary essay editing advice and my engineering background is comfortable giving computer programming assistance as well.

I was not born to a family with money; but my education has opened doors for me around the world. I have been a Teaching Assistant for some of this country's brightest students at Princeton University; I have worked as a Lab Instructor at the University at Buffalo and taught a seminar course of my own design as an Adjunct Instructor. I have studied at universities in four countries and earned multiple graduate degrees in disparate fields (Political Science & Biology), while earning scholarships to pay my way. I know this stuff; and I know *how* to perform well academically. I look forward to sharing what I have learned.

I graduated from the University of Buffalo with a Bachelor's in Social Interdisciplinary Sciences/Psychology and a Master's in Early Childhood/Childhood Education. I am a motivated and personable person with a positive track record for punctuality and attendance. I have experience working with both children and adults. I currently teach middle school math and science.

I am currently a senior at SUNY University at Buffalo. I am working towards a bachelor's degree in chemistry and a master's degree in education, and I hope to become a high school chemistry teacher in the future. Though I am most passionate about chemistry, I also tutor English literature/language, pre-algebra, and algebra. In addition to tutoring, I have worked as a teaching assistant for two courses in college. One belief of mine that has formed the foundation of my teaching philosophy is that education becomes something truly special once a student applies both the lessons and thinking skills they've learned in their daily life. This is achieved not only by providing active, engaging education but by empathizing and relating with students as well.

Current student at the honors college of University at Buffalo, working towards a B.S. in Biological Sciences. I specialize in Biology and Mathematics and believe in working to strengthen students' ability to form instinctive connections within course material. I have worked in a research lab studying the role of disrupted axonal transport in progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Currently, I spend my spare time shadowing doctors to gain experience for Med School. Outside of academics I am interested in dance, skiing, and backpacking.

I love education. I received a B.A. in psychology as well as a B.A. in sociology at the University at Buffalo. I get so much pleasure and satisfaction from teaching and watching my students grow academically. Right now, I teach kindergarten, but I have taught preschool through Third grade and have also worked with middle and high school children. I also was a teaching assistant at the college level in Psychology and sociology. Phonics, reading, English, language arts, psychology and sociology are my specialties, however, I enjoy teaching any subject. Outside of the classroom, I love to go to the movies, enjoy live theater, read a good book, write, travel, or anything involving the arts. I look forward to helping you or your student reach their education goals!

My passion is making math and science visual and applicable. I want to bring my experience from being a college professor to students as a tutor.

My teaching experience has reinforced my love for education. I enjoy challenging my students, discovering their hidden talents, and I appreciate the hard work they do. I strive to teach the whole child.Over the past several tears, I have realized that my calling in life is teaching. I have learned that when students construct their own learning experiences they are more confident in themselves and retain information for a longer time. Incorporating new technologies, such as tablets and smart boards have become a cornerstone of 21st century education. The use of these tools better allow students to share, explore, and create their own learning experiences. In addition, gives the help and support to those that truly need it.On a more personal note, I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy novels, listening and playing music on the guitar. When I'm not doing any of those things I am coaching wrestling or playing RPG video games like Skyrim, and Oblivion.

I specialize in tutoring History subjects.

People always ask me why I chose to become a teacher. The truth is that I always knew. Ever since I was a little girl, my mother would always find me with all my toys lined up in front of me, and me in front of a chalkboard teaching them how to draw.There is really nothing like teaching. I think it is the most gratifying profession in the world. I absolutely love the outcome of what I do because I believe in long lasting relationships and long lasting thirst for knowledge. That is exactly what I teach my students. I teach them that the sky is the limit and that "I can't" should not be a part of their vocabulary. I am great at seeing the potential in everyone and not giving up until they see it too and live up to it.For the past 7 years, I have been a part of a wonderful community while working as a High School I.B. Art Teacher for the American School of Quito in Ecuador. I worked with 11th and 12th graders on the production of high quality art production, careful planning, reflection and written critical analysis with creative problem solving skills. This job has brought enormous opportunities for professional and personal growth. Being part of this demanding program has been very challenging but also filled with rewards. Making students' faces light up when their hard efforts pay off and they finally "get it", is priceless!My I.B. annual scores have always been above world average. My students have participated in national and international art contests with magnificent results with prizes and awards. I have formed an amazing bond with them that, I am sure, will last a lifetime. I still have students who I taught 7 years ago, tell me that what I taught them has stayed with them all these years. And like I said, that is what teaching is all about. That is why I became a teacher.I have good conflict resolution skills, I am patient, I am fair and I have enthusiastic energy. I believe I am qualified for a teaching job within your community and I will make a valuable addition to your team.

Learning is one of the most rewarding, useful, and fun things that a person can do. My goal as a tutor is not only to help students complete assigned tasks and get good grades, but also to understand why the material is important and how it can help them in life. If I can help a student to be motivated to learn, aspire to fulfill meaningful goals, and give them the tools they need to reach those goals, then I will consider the time that I have spent with them as a success.I graduated from University at Buffalo with a B.A. in Math and Economics and an M.S. in Economics with an advanced certificate in Finance. I now work at M&T Bank as a Credit Analyst. I aspire to start my own business next year.I try to put effort into improving at everything that I do because I believe that anything worth doing is worth doing well. Some of my life achievements include, being an all county 1st singles player on my high school tennis team, improving my max bench press by 35lbs in 3 months, running a marathon, climbing a mountain, clearing a 40 feet long ski jump, ranking in the top 10 players in upstate NY in a video game, getting a job in my field immediately after college, being chosen to lead a project at work even though I am one of the newest people there, completing 3 college degrees in 5 years with a high GPA, working at least part time every year since I was in 10th grade, and ranking 1st every week in location accuracy and pulls per week as a backroom team member at Target. I am currently independently learning coding through codecademy.com and freecodecamp.com and am in the process of creating my own website.These things all resulted from the common theme of focused effort and a clear mindset for improvement. Improvement happens when you try to do something, fail, figure out what you're doing wrong, and try to fix it. Everyone can improve at everything if they stay focused, adapt their improvement methods, and try again. It's never too late. Some things take more time than others, but everything is achievable. If you have an idea of what you want to accomplish in the future, start now and you'll be much more likely to get to where you want to be.

Hi, my name is Sam! I am a student at University at Buffalo in New York currently working on a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry. I have two Associates degrees, one in Biotechnology and one in Liberal Arts: Natural Science. I began my path independently, always fascinated with the field of science. My goal is to help students recognize that their ambition can take them as far as they want and to foster an excitement for learning! I like that teaching not only helps the student, but also helps me with my own understanding of the subject.

I began tutoring when I was a college sophomore, as a way to reinforce my own coursework. I quickly realized what an enjoyable and rewarding experience being a tutor can be, and I have tried to include teaching in my weekly routine ever since. I believe that every student has the capacity to fully grasp any subject that they put their mind to, and it is the job of the tutor to discover the right way to frame and phrase the material at hand so that it can stick. Each student represents a unique challenge, and every improvement is an accomplishment shared between the tutor and the student. I truly enjoy helping others in their studies, and I appreciate the opportunity to improve my own understanding at the same time.I graduated from the State University of New York at Buffalo with a BS in both Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, and most of my experience has come from tutoring other students at the same school. My favorite topics to teach have been college-level math and science courses, as well as beginning engineering courses. I like to continually reinforce the fundamentals that I have used in higher-level courses and in industry, and I enjoy discussing the applications of those fundamentals with students who may not have seen them before. I have also spent some time tutoring middle and high school math and science, and that has been a rewarding experience as well..

I am going into my third year as Biology student at the University at Buffalo. Once I graduate I intend on pursuing a career in teaching. I enjoy working with kids and would love to have the opportunity to help someone improve on a subject they may be struggling in.

As a life-long student with a passion for learning myself, I am excited at the opportunity to share my enthusiasm and expertise in the sciences and social sciences with others. I think every student, at every level can benefit from one-on-one learning; and can excel in an active learning environment where they are comfortable asking questions and engaging with material in their own way. In particular, I have a passion for working with those who struggle to find a system of academic organization and time management that works for them, and those students who need extra help in catering studying to their style of learning. In my own experiences as I student I have benefited from trying new methods and techniques in and outside of the classroom – and I want to offer that to students who may benefit from it as well.
