Award-Winning Tutors from University at Buffalo

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 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.

I have a wide breadth of knowledge about engineering pedagogy, specifically mechanical engineering. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and a minor in mathematics. I would love to help you excel in your courses, and look forward to working together!

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.

Undergraduate student with a passion for learning and teaching. I have come to understand the importance of tutoring from the tutors I have worked with and want to share that experience with others. Furthermore, I believe I become more successful the more I help others to become successful.

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 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 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 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.

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.

My goal is to help all students reach their academic goals by providing encouragement, assistance, and my professional experience in education. I believe all students should have the opportunity to perform academically to the best of their ability, given the proper tools and resources. I feel honored to guide students towards success!

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.

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.

In addition to receiving a B.A. in English from the University at Buffalo, I am a graduate of Deep Springs College: an elite liberal arts program located in Eastern California. Unlike most schools, the admission process to Deep Springs involves writing - and later defending before a panel of staff, faculty and students - seven essays on a variety of subjects including literature, philosophy, and education. Once admitted to Deep Springs, students are typically required to read upwards of 100 pages per day from authors such as Hegel, Joyce, and Thucydides; and to write several essays per week, which are peer-critiqued in seminar classes. I plan to bring my depth of experience in reading, critical analysis, and writing to each tutoring session in order to help students achieve their goals in these areas.

I specialize in tutoring History subjects.

I just graduated from SUNY Fredonia with a B.S. in Biology with minors in Chemistry and Public Health. I have worked as a tutor in biology and chemistry at my college and have worked to pioneer a research tutoring program. I have recently started medical school at Jacobs School of Medicine. I'm here to help middle school, high school, and college aged students with a plethora of different subjects. I would love to help you with science related questions, but I can help you in other areas as well. Happy studying!

As a dedicated medical student at Wake Forest School of Medicine with a Bachelor's in Biomedical Sciences from the University at Buffalo, I am passionate about guiding students toward academic success. With over 2 years of tutoring experience, I specialize in subjects such as MCAT, ACT prep, AP English Language and Composition, and middle school English and reading. My teaching philosophy centers on creating engaging, tailored lesson plans that address individual student needs and foster confidence. I believe in making learning enjoyable and attainable, and I utilize practice questions and timed exercises to prepare students for success in standardized exams. My commitment to education is reflected in my academic achievements, including multiple gold medals in Spanish competitions. I look forward to inspiring students to reach their goals and find joy in their learning journey.

I'm Dr. Zurisaday Moreno, a native Spanish speaker from Cuba with a PhD in Spanish am passionate about helping students grow in their love for the Spanish language, literature, and culture. I have taught Spanish at every level, from elementary school to university, including AP courses. My lessons are personalized and designed to build confidence through conversation, cultural exploration, literature, and real-world communication. Whether you're preparing for an exam, planning to travel, or lea

I am a hard-working person who will instill a fun and interactive class that develops into a very comfortable learning environment. Feel free to reach out, as I am glad to help.

To me, teaching provides an opportunity to motivate students to like the subject and to improve their performance through mentoring/advising. This is what inspired me to choose teaching as a career. What a nobler mission than being part of sustaining knowledge from one generation to the next!?I am a graduate of Alexandria University, with a B.Sc. in Nuclear Engineering. In addition, I received a Ph.D. degree from University at Buffalo, Chemical and Biological Engineering Department, in 2015. During that time, I have been working as a teaching assistant and a co-instructor for both undergrad and graduate students, for a broad range of subjects; including: applied mathematics, physics, chemistry, mechanics, and programming. In addition, as a part-time, I have been a private tutor for middle- and high-school students for over 5 years.Although I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about teaching: Calculus, Algebra, Linear Algebra, Physics, and Mechanics for all ages and to all levels.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, running, and tutoring my kids!

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 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!

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 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 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!

I graduated from Shaker High School in 2015 and have since moved on to the University at Buffalo. Here, I am pursuing a mechanical engineering degree and will be going into my junior year as of fall 2017. I have experience teaching and tutoring students at an after school program I volunteered at in downtown Buffalo. I also have helped to explain and teach concepts to many other fellow engineers at my university. I feel comfortable tutoring the subjects within the realm of math and science, specifically the topics that lend themselves to mechanical engineering. Physics based subjects are definitely the most rewarding for me to teach because I feel I have a good understanding of how they work and apply to the real world and I really enjoy showing others these connections. This leads into my main teaching philosophy which is, if you commit yourself to fully understanding a topic you will never feel lost on a test. Many people try memorizing formulas which I personally find tedious and a waste of time in some cases. However, if you truly understand the fundamentals behind the formulas then you will be much more equipped with the knowledge needed to pass your exams and work through the trickier questions. When I find the time to do something outside of school related activities I enjoy woodworking and hiking. In the next few years I hope to hike the 46 highest peaks in New York, thus becoming an official Adirondack 46er.

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.

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.

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'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!

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 am a hard worker and a passionate person. I have always believed that we all need help sometimes and there is no greater feeling than having an eureka moment after a friend or tutor helps you understand a confusing subject.I am here to solve complex problems with simple solutions.

Dear Prospective students: I have earned two BA degrees in Biology (Environmental & Organismal) as well as BA in Cell & Molecular Biology. In addition I have earned an M.S.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Academic success can be pervasive for a good deal of students today. The causes for these difficulties vary, but I believe they mostly arise from the fact that in classrooms, teachers teach in one set way for a large number of students. This is why I believe that tutoring is essential. In smaller settings, students can have their specific needs met without the worry of rapidly trying to cover a syllabus or slowing down a class.I believe my experiences and travels make me an ideal tutor for a number of reasons. Attending school in the US and Nigeria exposed me to lots of teachers with a numerous teaching styles, I thus have a wealth of styles to refer to. While in high school abroad as part of a school organized program, I was chosen to tutor my classmates as well as students in lower grades in the sciences. These subjects included calculus, physics, chemistry, agricultural science and technical drawing to name a few. In college, I continue to tutor my peers when I can, which has helped me establish a firm and continually growing knowledge of science and mathematics courses. The subjects which I personally enjoy teaching the most are physics, mathematics (geometry, algebra, and calculus) and economics mainly because they interest me and their link to our contemporary world. My teaching style employs learning by problem solving with discussions to solidify knowledge. I attempt to incorporate real life examples and pop culture interests where applicable to make learning a bit less dull.I completed my degree in Civil Engineering. When I am not in a classroom, I enjoy historical novels. I also have a passion for 80's-90's music and films.

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.
