Brooks

Comparative Literature Tutor • +31 Subjects

I believe in education, and I believe in every student having confidence that he or she is smart and capable. My hope is for every student to follow his or her goals and ambitions. I went through the competitive New York City private school atmosphere at Friends Seminary through to Boston College, where I graduated Cum Laude as an English Major. Having played sports and music on top of academics in middle and high school, I know the pressure that young students in this city face. I understand their burden. My goal is to work with students so that they believe can succeed and be proud of themselves. I want students in New York to feel free amidst the overwhelming expectations to get into college. I will work with the student so that we both feel stimulated by a difficult subject. As a current acting student, I understand now more than ever that true learning is being able to make mistakes and learn from them. Any student that works with me will be free to make a mistake, so that he or she will learn from it.

Sam

ACT Math Tutor • +22 Subjects

I think education is one of the greatest actions we can take to improve our societies. I am a natural born teacher and was frequently the individual my peers turned to when struggling with classroom material. I have always found joy when a student reaches the 'aha' moment of understanding something they struggle with.I received my BS in Environmental Biology from SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry, where I tutored General Chemistry and was a TA for Dendrology. In addition, I was always a year ahead in my math in high school, taking the honors classes and I also received a 5 on my AP Calculus AB exam.I mainly tutor Math and Science, including Algebra and Biology. There are two main components to my tutoring style that help students understand and remember material:1. I try to break down concepts and transform them into something more relatable to the student. By replacing unfamiliar jargon with familiar subjects, I find it easiest to understand more difficult concepts or processes.2. Practice! Nothing beats the tried and true repetition. This helps fine tune procedures and sheds light on areas students struggle with, allowing me to reiterate or re-explain tougher material.In addition, I love to cook, dance, practice yoga, and dabble in nature photography!

Amy

ACT Math Tutor • +10 Subjects

I graduated from Truman State University with a BA in Mathematics and a MA in Education. I taught 8th grade math for three years. I tutored students ranging from kindergarten to adult in math, reading, study skills, and test prep at a National learning center for seven years. I have been tutoring independently for three years. My current subjects include elementary and middle school math, pre-Algebra, Algebra Algebra 2, Geometry, study skills and ACT test prep. I want students to succeed and understand math. I relate new topics to what a student understands and build off of that. I am patient and I can usually find another way to explain something if a student is struggling with a concept. When I am not tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our six children.

Jim

College English Tutor • +13 Subjects

I have a PhD in Russian from Columbia University, and 31 years of university-level teaching experience. Now that I'm a Professor Emeritus, I've became an art educator and language tutor. I've tutored people who were native speakers of French, Spanish, German, and Hungarian, among European languages; and of Japanese, Korean, and Chinese, among Asian languages.And, actually, tutoring for SAT Prep and helping people improve their grades in high school English is not so different from that. When I do that kind of tutoring, I emphasize features of the very complicated English verb system such as colloquial phrasal verbs and their more formal equivalents ("to go back"/"to return").Of course, every student is different, and each teaching situation is different, so I bring to each session a prepared lesson that both reviews the previous lesson and works on new problems and ideas.

Keenan

American Literature Tutor • +40 Subjects

When I was in middle school I needed multiple tutors for different subjects. And to be honest I was embarrassed about it. But I began to gain more confidence about it through the encouragement of my tutor. She was able to keep me motivated and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. So when got into High School I decided to start tutoring and mentoring myself to give back to my community like so many people had did for me.So now I tutor to help enrich my community and to help students gain the confidence and motivation they need to succeed in life.
