While a student, I became a certified writing tutor through the Critical Writing Department. Since I completed my writing requirement at the University prior to matriculating, I was the first freshman tutor to be accepted into this selective program. The tutoring program involved a preliminary peer-tutor training course prior to beginning tutoring, in order to...

I'm a current student at Columbia University studying sociology and business management. I'm passionate about helping others learn new material and reach new heights of academic excellence. In my free time, I'm usually visiting art museums, in a ballet class, or exploring the city. Feel free to reach out to me with any further questions!... All students can reach excellence when given the type of instruction that fits their unique learning style.... The first thing I do is create a connection with each student--being comfortable with each other is essential. Then, we can set some goals to be entirely clear about what we plan to accomplish during the session.

Allegra: Clifton ACT Writing course instructor
...9 AP classes; as a student at the University of Chicago, I developed exemplary writing and critical reading skills; and as a tutor, I learned how to convey those skills to students of all ages, from many different backgrounds, in both one-on-one and group settings. Need to raise those scores? Having trouble telling a participle from a predicate? Want to make your college essay the best it can be? I'm here to help.... My role as a teacher is to help the student not just learn, but understand. I don't give students the answers; instead, I ask questions and engage their prior knowledge to lead them there themselves. Learning is an active process, never a passive one.

...from Stanford University, I majored in Human Biology with a concentration in Bioinformatics and Stem Cell Science. Technical though my background may be, I am currently gigging as a singer/songwriter/composer in NYC and tackle even the most hard-science of problems with a top-down, big-picture, holistic approach. If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want to learn how to do so), I'm the tutor for you!... All questions are solvable - and believe it or not, FUN - when you look at them in the right light. Talking with people to come up with new angles of attack is far better than going at it alone. In short: reframe, reframe, REFRAME.

My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin. Believe me when...
