Award-Winning Tutors from University at Buffalo

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.

Hello! I am a current first year medical student at the Jacobs School of Medicine at the University at Buffalo. I have taught individuals from ages 5 to adult and have experience with one-on-one, small group, and classroom-style pedagogies. I look forward to helping you or your child learn!

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.

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.

I love working with students of all sorts and especially love finding ways to make complex information more understandable. I have taught English and History as well as tutored the SAT/ACT for many years. I can help you edit your essays, read materials that are challenging, and yes, I do math too! I'm especially happy to help you with SAT/ACT math and word problems.

I am a college graduate with a Bachelors of Science in Aerospace Engineering. During my four and a half years of undergraduate education at the University at Buffalo, I tutored students at a math learning center on campus. Before starting, I took a tutoring certification course with Crossroads of Learning. Since then, I have tutored in both one-on-one and group settings. I have tutored many subjects in mathematics including Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus. I am very passionate about learning, and believe that each student is capable of learning any subject that they desire to learn. Because I love learning so much, I enjoy being able to be a part of the process for students that happen to struggle in certain subjects. I understand that every student has a different learning style. I try to discover what methods work best for each student I tutor, and I tailor my teaching style to that particular student's needs. In addition to mathematics and puzzles, music is a large part of my life. In my free time, I write music. I play the guitar and banjo, as well as read and write poetry. Since graduating, I have been working as an intern at a recording studio in Manhattan. While there, I learn about the very intricate arts of recording and mixing.

I am a high school English teacher in South Florida. I love working with students to see the light bulb go off when they finally get the concept we are learning. I hope to help you do the same!

I'm a pre-health student at the University of Pennsylvania, and have an extensive background in the sciences. I can also rock the SATs and MCAT, so I've got that going for me. I love learning with students and trying to make the tedious work of learning as fun as possible. I think and teach in examples and make abstract concepts easily understandable. I also love sports, adventures, travelling!

I am currently a graduate student at the University at Buffalo working on my PhD in mathematics. Before this, I obtained my master's degree from the College at Brockport, at which I spent the following two semesters teaching math courses to college students. While at the College at Brockport I spent three semesters as a math tutor in their Student Learning Center, as part of a graduate assistantship, tutoring courses such as Algebra,Precalculus, Single Variable Calculus, Multi-Variable Calculus, Statistics, and various other courses. I have also tutored students at the University at Buffalo as part of a teaching assistantship. My favorite subjects to tutor are calculus, trigonometry, and algebra. I've taught calculus courses at the college level multiple times, and I thoroughly enjoyed it each time.I believe that understanding how students learn mathematics is essential to teaching and tutoring mathematics. There are many different forms of teaching. I feel that I'm a great tutor because I try to understand how each student learns and then shape my instruction in such a way that will promote that student's understanding. I am always looking for new strategies to help captivate the interest of the students I instruct and tutor in order to help better foster learning. Learning mathematics is a process that requires active involvement, both from the tutor and the student. I continually strive to help all students reach their full potential.

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.

I'm passionate about helping students build confidence speaking English. With over twelve years of TESOL experience, I focus on communicative language teaching, pronunciation coaching and practical English for real-life interactions. I am also fluent in Mandarin Chinese and love working with learners from all over the world.

Hello! My name is Natalie. I am currently a third year student at the University at Buffalo. I was recently accepted into the BA/MSW program and will begin graduate school for Social Work this fall. It has always been my passion to work in the human service field as I love helping others. My compassion along with my people skills are what makes me a great candidate as a tutor. I am very friendly and outgoing, along with having very high grades throughout my schooling career. I am looking forward to working with you!

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.

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 love tutoring Latin, Greek, and English. I strive to be attentive to how my students express themselves and always aim to present material in a way that is in sync with how they learn. This has allowed students I've worked with to feel comfortable opening up about their interests and frustrations with me so that I can make a subject more relevant to them and create more motivation to learn. I always try to gear the way I teach to my students' learning styles and make them feel less self-conscious and more confident about making mistakes and explaining their thought process. I am good at convincing my students that they will see more rewards from their persistence. I have worked with several students who were scoring in the seventies on tests and quizzes when I started working with them who then began to see dramatic results with scores in the nineties in a fairly short time.I make use of various tools like mnemonic devices and English word derivatives to make vocabulary and form-memorization easier. I also have students draw charts showing the patterns and similarities among various noun and verb endings they need to know so they can truly master these fundamentals of the language.Though I went on to earn a degree in Latin and Greek literature in college, I really think my passionate interest in this subject was nurtured and allowed to thrive because of the extremely solid foundation I received in Latin grammar from one outstanding high school teacher. I hope to emulate his outstanding teaching ability and allow others to succeed the way he allowed me.I've tutored students in Latin and Greek for over 10 years. I received a perfect score on the National Latin Exam and Latin SAT II and am familiar with preparing students for these exams, as well as for AP Latin.Some highlights of my educational and teaching background are that I've graduated from Reginald Foster's demanding program in Rome for the practice of oral Latin and daily sight reading and obtained my B.A. with honors in Greek and Latin literature. I also did post-graduate training with Dr. Stephen Daitz, the foremost scholar on the classical pronunciation of ancient Greek and Latin. I received an award for being the highest ranking student in Greek and Latin Literature in my college's classics department. I am a former member of the American Classical League and have attended some of their national conferences and seminars on the teaching of Latin. I also have experience creating educational materials for intermediate students of Latin online for a website that publishes full length texts in foreign languages and uses editors to write different types of explanatory material and educational glosses to aid students' reading.I look forward to helping you meet your specific goals.

I am a 3rd year undergrad at the University at Buffalo, working toward my Mathematics BS with a computer science concentration. I find math exceptionally fascinating; I not only aim to teach an understanding of math but also an appreciation. I have taken courses in Algebra, Pre-Calculus, Calculus (I, II, and III), Geometry, Physics, Differential Equations, Linear Algebra, Probability, Statistics, and Mathematical Logic. Through my education, I have amassed an understanding of mathematics from multiple angles, and as such I provide a unique lens through which I want to help my students view the subject. Additionally, these courses are fresh in my mind, and so I can recall what did or did not make sense to me and what helped me understand a certain topic - insight I can pass along to my students. Again, I want to instill not only an understanding, but an appreciation for math in my students, as this appreciation will invoke a desire to further their knowledge. In my spare time I play guitar, drums for my band, ski, and watch hockey when I can.

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 currently attend the University at Buffalo where I am working toward my B.A. in philosophy and my B.S. in biology. In high school, I was valedictorian of my class and excelled in every subject. I scored well on both the SAT and ACT, which helped me to earn a full scholarship.I believe that anyone can learn anything and people can come to love subjects they once hated. I love helping people make connections they couldn't make before.In my spare time, I can be found ballroom dancing or doing Tae Kwon Do.

Hellol, my name is Cassidy and I really hope you consider me as a tutor option for you. I have been tutoring for several years throughout my high school career. I started in eighth grade tutoring first graders in reading and grew to love working with children. Through the years I continued to tutor students ages 5-16 in reading, literature, elementary math, pre-algebra, algebra and several other subjects. As of right now, I am a sophomore at the University at Buffalo as a double major in Accounting and Math and I plan on being an accountant in the future. I have a love for working with students of all ages and I am a super flexible, easy going, determined and hard working person. I studied abroad my junior year in Denmark and studied danish culture and the danish language and I also graduated valedictorian of my high school class. These are just a few examples of how hard working and enthusiastic I am about new opportunities, especially when it comes to learning. I also am very interested in several different activities in my spare time. I love mountain biking, music, skiing, photography, drawing, hiking, swimming and anything having to do with the outdoors. I am especially interested in music. I play 11 instruments and listen to hundreds of bands. There's not a minute during the day where I'm not dancing around the room to music.I also have an array of experience with every type of student and age group and I think that I have the near-perfect skill set to help a student thrive in their own set of circumstances, no matter what they may be. My teaching philosophy is that anyone can accomplish anything they try hard enough at. The only determinant of success is the amount of effort that someone puts into something and the rest comes after. I am an incredibly patient, understanding and relaxed person that will be dedicated to making sure you succeed in any subject we work on as well as succeeding in the classroom and developing study skills unique to you and your learning habits.I love working with people and I hope I get the chance to work with you. I hope you consider me in your search.Thank you!

I graduated from college quite a long time ago but my own kids, and current students too, see me as a fun person and a kid at heart. One of the hardest things for a teacher to be able to do is relate to kids and their issues. Students can easily tell if a teacher genuinely cares or is just going through the motions of teaching. All my students know I care and they give me maximum effort in return.Before I became a teacher I was actively engaged in my own children's education. I home-schooled them for many years while running my own engineering and marketing businesses from home. My own children are either in their final years of high school or in college. My children would always tell me how great I was at teaching and I should do it full time. I finally listened to them and now enjoy every day of work. I am the head of the math and science departments at a small private school in The Woodlands. It is a wonderful school but the small size has its own challenges. I am in charge of curriculum development which can be time consuming. I have to design the curriculum to be interesting, challenging, and productive. There is no one way to teach a concept. Through the use of practical examples, multimedia, specialized worksheets and study materials, the subjects are covered without the normal objections by the students. Every day we are learning but having fun while doing it.Outside of school I like to work on cars, electrical design, and fixing anything that's broken. I also like to read textbooks, watch movies, and cook for my family. I let them do the dishes though.I'm looking forward to being your childs tutor. I'll give them 100% and hopefully they will give that back in return. Since I'm experienced in curriculum design we won't be working out of just one textbook. One textbook will never work for every student. If you child is having trouble in a subject or just wants to get ahead, a multi-faceted approach to learning will have him or her attaining goals in a much shorter period of time.

I am a former Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Johnson C. Smith University. I have over thirty years experience teaching General Chemistry, Analytical (qualitative, quantitative and instrumentation), and Physical Chemistry (thermodynamics and quantum .) Expertise in nanochemistry and surface chemistry. I am a very good at understanding where your conceptual understanding is leading you astray. I am excellent at providing stategies for solving problems.

My mission is to inspire life long learning as well as to give you the tools to discover your capacity for academic success and happiness.

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.

I am an Electrical Engineer by profession, and a teacher/mentor by passion. My hobbies are Dancing, Reading, playing Chess and teaching. I loved teaching since I was a first grader. My very first student was my little brother, who decided to continue with my tutoring from Kindergarten thru his undergraduate. Besides him, I have about 12 years of one-on-one tutoring experience.

I graduated from Binghamton State University in 2010 with a B.S. in Biology and a B.A. in Spanish. After completing my undergraduate studies, I moved back closer to home and continued on with Romance Languages and Literature Studies in graduate school. In 2012, I received my M.A. Degree from St. John's University, Queens, NY. Since 2012, I have been working toward a Ph.D. in Spanish at the University at Buffalo. At the University at Buffalo, I worked for 5 years as a Spanish language instructor to undergraduate students. This upcoming academic year I will be teaching Spanish in a private high school in Queens, New York.In terms of my teaching experience, I have also familiarized myself with Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) through teaching pedagogy courses as well as numerous pedagogical workshops. CLT has oriented my teaching toward a more daily, real-life usage of the language, while reducing its sometimes overwhelming grammatical load.

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.

I graduated at SUNY Buffalo with a PharmD in 2015 and I am licensed to practice pharmacy in the state of New York. Subjects that I am the most comfortable teaching are math (up to Algebra 2), science (Biology, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, etc), and certain languages (Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that one is comfortable with me and also with learning the material.In my free time I like to knit, cook, draw/paint, as well as being an avid Redditor. My dream in life is to travel around the world and experience the culture (mostly the food) of different countries. I also am currently in the works to become a medical interpreter, combining the knowledge acquired from my degree with my passion for languages.

During college, I always enjoyed working with fellow students in learning material because often each person had a different perspective on certain concepts and this allowed me to view things differently which I always found quite helpful during school. As I moved to graduate school I took on teaching assistant roles in various courses. I found that working through problems with students was a very rewarding part of my graduate studies. This enjoyment lead me to pursue academics and I have been a tenured associate professor for almost 6 years teaching mostly in the Department of Chemistry at my College. I have taught various disciplines of chemistry including health professions related chemistry, general chemistry, upper level quantitative chemistry as well as the associated laboratory materials found in these courses. I look forward to sharing my knowledge in these subjects and hope I can provide you with the right guidance to excel in you studies.

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!

Hi my name is Hyein Samantha Oh and I am happy to tutor any students from grades 1-12. My favorite subject is Math and Science and I am currently in college to become a math teacher! I hope to teach students in a fun and relevant environment!

Hello everyone! I'm Dr. Jonathan Folmsbee, and I've been tutoring/teaching calculus and physics for 8+ years now. My goal as a tutor/instructor is to get you to the point where the test doesn't seem scary, and instead just feels like another homework assignment or problem set. I believe that math and physics are NOT spectator sports, and the best way to prep for a test is to do problems, and also step through why you're doing what you're doing on problems, as well as look at parts of problems that may not make sense. I also try to distill the info dumps that you may get in lectures into what you can actually use on the problem.

I am an astute, highly motivated, and goal-oriented individual with successful experiences in both academia and athletics. I am also an effective communicator, who is very much excited to pass down my knowledge to students.
