I am a Graduate Student completing my MS in Secondary Education for English at SUNY at Albany. In May, I will have my NYS Teaching Certification. I got my BA in English at the same university, where I also double minored in Creative Writing and Film Studies. I've taught in middle and high school classrooms, and I can't wait to continue teaching here.I've learned so much about the importance of collaboration and student agency in learning. I also believe in the importance of meeting the specific needs and honoring the unique interests of each student. Every person I meet is capable of accomplishing more than they know. My job is just to help them see that for themselves through time and practice. I tutor English and Literature, and I love bringing film, television, and creativity into the classroom! I firmly believe that English and Literature are incredibly important skill sets to hone and develop since we use these skills to communicate effectively through art, academia, and even in everyday life.In my spare time, I love reading, hiking with friends, time with my dog, running, trying new foods, watching cozy Twitch streams, and playing video games.

My name is Rachel and I recently graduated from Columbia University with my MPA in Environmental Science and Policy. Prior to that, I received my B.A.s in Environmental Science and Public Policy from Mills College. I have a passion for science and politics and enjoy helping others in their academic pursuits.

In grade school, I wanted to be a history teacher. I looked up to my history teachers in high school and I realized that I had a skill for teaching. During high school, I tutored in history, biology, English and writing. I understood the different ways that students can learn whether that be visually, physically, verbally, logically, or socially. I tried to use real life examples and help my students learn the best way they know how to learn. I was patient with them and I took time to figure out their personalities in order to assess how to help them learn more efficiently. I think tutoring is more than trying to help a student pass a class or do some homework; its trying to teach them how to learn better in anything they take on. Later on, I volunteered at a elementary school with a professional company which helped kids catch up to their reading level and that gave more a guideline on how to create a lesson plan for children with learning disabilities. Recently, I volunteered at a high school to help young girls better themselves in all their subjects.

I am a creative and enthusiastic teacher who is committed to bringing out the best in each of my students. With a passion for helping my students learn and grow, I come to each session prepared to make a difference. However, I also know that learning is not something that I, alone, control. Learning is a cooperative venture and students learn best when we work within their preferred learning styles, using a context that is relevant and interesting to them. The goal is not just to make a difference today, but to help instill and develop skills and values that will enable each student to become a motivated and life-long learner.As a tutor, I believe that it is my job to help identify my students' strengths and areas of challenge. Often students can't identify what they do understand and what they aren't able to comprehend, and they can get mired down in frustration and discouragement. I see myself as a solid support person, always on my student's side; someone who sees the good and possibility when the student might not be able to see his or her own successes.As an avid communicator, writer and storyteller, I bring my love of the dramatic to my sessions, continually looking for ways to excite and interest my students. I am both patient and persevering, and am willing to set boundaries when needed. My goal is to see each of my students succeed to the best of his or her own ability and to gain in confidence as well as skill.

Chemistry and Math TutorSUNY Polytechnic InstituteBachelor of Science in ChemistryPhD in Nanoscale Engineering (aug 2024)

I am a recent graduate of Siena College, where I obtained a B.S. in Biochemistry, Chemistry, and Mathematics. During all four years of undergrad, I tutored various levels of mathematics, and I have also tutored chemistry and biology subjects. I most enjoy tutoring mathematics courses because I love helping students sharpen their logical thinking skills, and because math is the language of the universe! In particular, I really love tutoring calculus because it can be used to describe tons of real-world phenomena. My tutoring style revolves around teaching students how to break complex topics down to the basics so they can work their way to building up their knowledge and confidence independently.

I am dedicated to helping students achieve their learning goals, and to making learning and mastering materials fun.

I am a former medical student with two years of experience under my belt and a Bachelor's in Biology. I am currently working for a tech giant. I have years of tutoring STEM subjects and being a mentor for undergraduate students in Upstate New York. The world of science and how the human body interacts with its surroundings fascinates me! Therefore, it is no surprise I enjoy tutoring Anatomy and Microbiology up to the college level. I also enjoy teaching high school and lower level sciences . My method is simple, we learn together and use tools that best work for you (visual or auditory). I'll try to spark an interest in your learning capabilities and facilitate every step of the way. The goal is to make you an independent learner.

I am very passionate about the German language and culture and I am eager to ignite this passion in others. I began studying German at age 12 in middle school and went on to complete a BA degree at the State University of New York at Oswego. I subsequently completed a Masters degree through Middlebury College and was able to study in Berlin, Germany during this time. I believe in taking an academic as well as cultural approach to language learning, so that the language can truly "come alive" in the mind of the student.

I recently graduated from Manhattanville College in Purchase, NY with my BA in English Literature and Secondary Education. I plan on attending Marist College in Summer 2017 to obtain my Master's in Educational Psychology. My passion for English had started in my early days in elementary school when I used reading and writing as an escape, and a way to express my feelings when I felt like I wasn't being listened to. However my passion for Education arose when I found I genuinely enjoyed helping my peers with their homework, with lessons, and even with projects. I love to see the look of students and peers when they finally understand something that had been escaping them. I also just really like helping people in anyway that I can.Although, don't be frightened, I'm actually a pretty relatable person so if something is bothering you, don't be afraid and know you can tell me. I've helped many peers in the past both with their coursework and also with things that were bothering them. Funny enough when the personal problem was solved I saw a strong comeback in the subject that was bothering them.The way I look at it I'm here to help you succeed, and I will use my content and education knowledge to help you in every area and in every way that I can. I have had nearly 100% success with every student that I've worked with. What about the "nearly" you might ask? We'll there was a case where a student ended up dropping out of the college because he found he didn't like the major he was in.Thank you for looking at my profile and I hope I hear from you soon!
