...and Literature. I have over five years of experience as an SAT and SHSAT tutor/teacher as well as years doing general Writing and English tutoring for K-12. I especially enjoy challenging my students with college-level work, and strongly believe that with the right approach, nothing is too hard to understand. Writing is my favorite subject to tutor, because there is no endpoint, and anyone can always be a better writer. It is amazing to see...

...Cardozo Law School. I have been a lawyer for five years, and I am planning now to shift to a more educational career. Last year I worked at a small tutoring center, and I decided to branch out even more and work here. Since Math and English are heavily tested subjects, I’ve had the opportunity to help many students in these areas. They actually have some significant similarities: they’re both very structured and based on...

...me even though I wasn't that much older than them (they were middle school students). After college I spent a year in Beijing and tutored adults in English and Chinese. In 2007 I taught a GRE class at Baruch College in Manhattan. In 2007 I began working on Wall Street while volunteering after work. Most recently from 2012-2014 I was a volunteer tutor at the Fresh Air Fund in midtown Manhattan, where I worked with...

...grade and am in my 8th year working in education. I love incorporating various materials and hands-on, fun approaches to learning. If it's clever and fun you will remember! The more the material is connected to daily living the more we invest ourselves and are willing to work for it. I also think a sense of humor is extremely helpful to learning-I will make any student smile which sets an upbeat tone for the session!...

...reading and math. While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I particularly love tutoring writing, helping develop a student's unique voice and style. I believe that education is the key to helping all individuals reach their goals and dreams. All students are different, and I believe it is my responsibility as a tutor to tailor my approach to serve an individual's unique learning needs-- making sure the lessons and interventions I provide are as...

...I studied Shakespearean acting during a semester abroad in London, where I learned how to intuitively "decode" classical language. In college, I developed methods of researching and outlining that led me to A's and A-plusses again and again. This didn't happen overnight, I assure you. I've received plenty of red marks on my pages! And I learned from them. I used them. I learned how to "work smarter, not harder," how to save time, work...

...school students on Precalculus and Calculus. I have equally strong experience teaching and tutoring all three sections of the SAT. What makes me a great tutor is my ability to empathize with the needs of each of my tutees and help them figure out how they best learn the material. My proficiency in the subject and strong teaching background are two different skills; combined together, they make me an understanding and efficient tutor. In my...

...at Columbia University and my BS in Mathematics at New York University. Throughout college and graduate school, I have tutored students from a multitude of backgrounds and helped them along their journey to academic success. Each student has their own path of least resistance, and helping them find the best way to understand a particular subject paves the way for future excellence in all areas of learning. When I'm not working with students, I enjoy...

...more I learned, I earned a M.A. in English while I was tutoring freshmen college students and working as a student-teacher for the Communication and Media department. These experiences made me aware that I loved helping students develop strategies to succeed. As a result, I became a Teaching Assistant at a high school, for two years, guiding students through subject-based tests, state exams, college essays,job preparation and wilderness backpacking experiences. While I worked at the...

...volunteer work as an English composition teacher. I started teaching and tutoring eight years ago as an assistant Arabic teacher at a language camp, and I've been working in education and/or academia ever since! I especially love teaching writing, reading skills, and foreign languages: I'm a believer in the power of clear and thoughtful communication. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, music, the Middle East, current events, great coffee, and city life.
