...that the student learns it. As a tutor, I work with the student's strengths and weaknesses to help him/her learn. I earned a Ph.D. in political science from Johns Hopkins University, where I also taught. Although I enjoyed teaching on the university level, I missed the engagement one develops in a more individualized setting like tutoring. I also earned a BA from Columbia University in Comparative Literature which required me to read, write and speak...

...grade school including ten AP exams and the PSAT with which I became a National Merit Scholar. I've learned that testing well requires as much skill as it does knowledge, and I look forward to helping students learn to recognize the type of questions testers create so that they can better figure out how to find the right answer. In my free time, I like sewing (very poorly), yoga, soccer, and pining after various adoptable...

...and English to French students for about 4 years. Other relevant experiences include translations for the French Red Cross and large financial groups. I like to work with students by encouraging them to have the appropriate reasoning by themselves, making them better understand the grammar rules and the use of the language. My interests in French culture are architecture, cinema and XIXth century literature. In my spare time, I like to swim and I play...

...in my last year at Tufts majoring in English and American Studies. Standardized testing has always been something I have excelled at both personally and in helping others reach their full potential. I scored above the 95% percentile for both my SAT and my SAT subject tests. I am a patient, encouraging, and hands-on tutor who can use both my personal experience and external teaching materials to make sure you get the best score you...

...teacher advised my parents that I was not going to be able to keep up with my classmates and needed to be held back for a year; they felt I was lacking focus and at risk of failing to develop in step with my peers. Despite my teacher's concerns, my parents decided to send me along to first grade and trust that any 'growing pains' would resolve themselves. Twelve years later, I graduated in the...

I am a licensed structural engineer and a math tutor. I like math. I've always liked math. Now I am lucky enough to apply it everyday in my life. I'm here to help everyone come to like it as well. This is my part in making the world a better place. I am looking to help someone (kid or college student) long term with their "difficulties" and become their mentor.

I am a professional author/writer/editor who has mentored many young writers in my career. I can help students write and develop their grammar, language, story telling skills, and give them the tools to write memorable essays. Fluent in French and Italian. Lover of all the arts and a former ballet trainee. I also have knowledge of basic Hebrew and can speak a bit.

...and went on to develop my love for exploring by moving to Los Angeles shortly afterward. While in Southern California, I worked hard to build up my experience by doing private tutoring, working at after school institutes and substitute teaching. I eventually received my teaching credential in Secondary Education with an emphasis in Mathematics and taught at a charter school for 3 fulfilling years. I enjoy working with students of all grade levels and ages,...

...to look. Helping students conquer these subjects (and become "math people") by identifying and breaking down the methodology is very rewarding. My philosophy for tutoring has always been: Some people teach to the test. Others teach to the book. I teach to the individual. Outside of tutoring my hobbies include yoga, biking, hiking, drawing, crafts, dancing (ballet and salsa are my favorite right now), French cinema, reading (magazines, novels, history), and occasionally skiing.

...away from the distractions inherent in large group settings and providing individual attention. I obtained my arts education from private classes in music, and visual arts, from American Universities in Europe and reputed International institutions. I hold a B.A. and an MFA in Arts, Communications and Certificates in Performance. I tutor in French and Spanish languages, arts and literature. I believe in the power of self-confidence and motivation. Feeling supported by your tutor and believing...

...improving) their skills in the aforementioned Latin languages. I have been with Varsity Tutors for more than a year now, and I like to have a relaxed approach to the study plan. One part of the session is conversational, I'll encourage you with the pronunciation. In the remaining part of the class, I like to do conjugation and grammatical review (I'm very fond of the Bescherelles book series for the French language) I remain an...

...angles. My largest interest, outside of education, is music. I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go hiking, and I bike...

...I have been a teacher's assistant on and off for over five years now. In my opinion and through my experience over the years, I must say patience is one of the main ingredients to successful tutoring and/or teaching. With patience comes a more acute sense of observation and, consequently, learning how each pupil absorbs and retains information. And the next important ingredient is to keep the exchange engaging and interesting. Make it fun and...

...and asking questions. I am someone who can empathize, yet be tough when I have to be. I love helping people and working with them to get their full potential drawn out. I spent time teaching English in Panama. Because of this experience, I understand both the positions of being a teacher and a student, and I use this to my advantage as a tutor. I care deeply about my students because I myself have...

...fall of 2019. I double majored in International Studies and French with a minor in African American Studies. During my time at UA, I participated in mentoring programs that allowed me to work with elementary school children, in addition, to being a coach for children aged 2-18 years old. I entirely self-studied for the LSAT and scored in the top 1 percentile, so I am well prepared for helping students achieve their law school goals.

...its hands on, visual, auditory, etc. When a student has a problem, I want to be able to work with other teachers to figure out the best way to give the student the support they need. Lastly, I create a tutor schedule with the student and show them exactly what we will review and how we will review it. This is to create a sense of organization for the student and myself....

...junior and senior year. I owe much of my academic success to my incomparable professors/mentors/advisors within the History Department, and now, as a tutor, I strive to provide the same level of enthusiastic support and encouragement to my own students. Beyond my history studies, I spent a semester during college at the University of Burgundy in Dijon, allowing me to develop my deep understanding of both French language and culture. While on Colby's campus, I...

...with a special interest in music. I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in violin performance at the Juilliard School. I have tutored privately and through Chegg Tutoring, Varsity Tutors, PrepExpert, and iLearn World throughout high school and college, with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges. I...

I am here to...
