Who needs tutoring?
No obligation. Takes ~1 minute.

I am a current undergraduate student who has always had a passion for tutoring. I have garnered over 250 hours of tutoring experience of all kinds over a period of many years. From helping elementary aged children gain confidence in their academic abilities to rigorous test preparation, I have a variety of experience with all ages and levels of students. I have always had a passion for sharing my knowledge and that is what I hope to do as a tutor.

I am a recent graduate of SUNY Polytechnic Institute where I received my Master of Science in Accountancy with a concentration in Forensic Accounting and Valuation. Several years prior to that, I graduated from Siena College with a Bachelor of Business Administration in Accounting. I have been a licensed CPA in New York State for almost 20 years and have extensive experience in the accounting field. I am currently engaged in public accounting, but my knowledge base is bolstered by various private accounting experiences in small manufacturing companies, a regional bank, and a nonprofit organization. I have been teaching and training colleagues, staff, and clients for many years. I have discovered that it is a natural inclination for me and has become my passion, particularly encouraging younger staff members to excel. I endeavor to teach in such a manner that students transition beyond understanding the basic concepts presented to being able to apply them effectively in practice.
I'm a recent graduate from RPI with a degree in Computer Science and Math. I enjoy helping people understand difficult concepts. I've had success assisting friends and relatives on everything from individual homework assignments to entire classes.
I am a currently a civil engineering student at an engineering university, and I'm currently working on my Bachelors. I have three years of experience tutoring and teaching math, science, computer science, and test prep. I have three years of experience teaching students between the ages of 3-17. I enjoy working with students, and primarily work with them regarding their math and humanities skills. I love tutoring in mostly everything, but my favorite topics to tutor in are math and history.
I'm currently an undergraduate studying Mathematics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY. I've volunteered teaching french lessons in an elementary school and I've been a volunteer math tutor for high schoolers. I've also tutored community college students professionally in college algebra and calculus. I believe that the best way to learn is collaboratively and interactively. I teach by working together with my students to tackle problems and develop a firm grasp on the bigger picture. I'm passionate about math and science and improving education as a whole. My hobbies include hiking, playing soccer, and painting.
I am currently a graduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have been at RPI for 5 years now. I love to ski, play soccer and do a variety of other activities in order to have a good time.
I'm a tutor and teacher with over 6 years of experience that conducts low-stress, engaging, and meaningful sessions with my students.
I am an interdisciplinary educator with an Ed.M. from the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a B.A. from Dartmouth College. My background is primarily in integrated arts learning and museum education and I specialize in visual arts, history and art history, and object-based learning. In all subjects, I take a creative, inquiry-based and learner-centered approach, designing opportunities for each unique individual to meet their learning goals.
I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.
I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.
I am a graduate of Wesleyan University, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with High Honors. With eight years of experience working in education, I've tutored students in math, science, history, and English, as well as helped students prepare for standardized tests. I've guided adults towards passing the US Citizenship Exam and taught English in India, where I lived for six months. Whenever I work with a student I personalize the lessons to fit their particular learning style, since I know every student is unique and having the right fit can make all the difference in making learning fun and effective. My strengths are tutoring the social sciences and humanities, as well as making math and standardized tests approachable to students that normally don't like those subjects. In my spare time I like traveling, spending time in the outdoors (climbing & backpacking), meditation, and playing soccer. Next fall I will be beginning my PhD in Education at Harvard University.
I am a graduate of Washington University in St Louis, where I received my Bachelor of Arts in History with minors in Humanities and Anthropology. Since graduation, I have worked as a tutor, teacher, and director of tutors at a charter public middle school in Boston. During this time I also received my Masters in Mild to Moderate Disabilities from Simmons College. I have worked extensively with students with a range of abilities, including students with specific learning disabilities, emotional impairments, dyslexia, and ADHD. My teaching experience has given me a deep understanding of the knowledge and habits essential to academic success and has given me the opportunity to hone a variety of strategies that ensure students at each level can achieve their academic goals. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite ones are Reading, Elementary/Middle School Math, History, and Test Prep. In my experience, tutoring is the most rewarding when a student has that "aha!" moment and achieves a new level of understanding and confidence in his/her abilities. I am a firm believer in the transformative power of education, and I see my role to be that of a facilitator and coach who is there to help the student reach his/her goals through individualized support and rigorous practice. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, practicing my Spanish, and discovering new music. I am also an avid traveler and just got back from a 3 month trip to South America. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
