Ron
Algebra Tutor • +44 Subjects
I'm a graduate of the SUNY Oswego where I earned both my BS and MS degrees in chemistry and Rutgers University Graduate School where I received my Ph. D., also in chemistry. I have eighteen years of experience as a research scientist and seventeen years of experience as a high school and college level science teacher.I have taught chemistry, physics and environmental science at all levels including CP, Honors, AP and Dual enrollment. I have also taught IB Chemistry and IB Physics (SL and HL). In addition, I have tutored Algebra 1 & 2, Geometry, Pre-Calculus and Calculus. However, chemistry was my first love and it remains my favorite subject to teach.I have always loved science. But what I enjoy most is helping young people learn. I believe what I do best is to help students understand the physical world that surrounds them. When I teach I focus on short lessons followed by "hands-on" student activities to reinforce the lesson.When I'm not teaching I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, biking, golf and cross-country skiing.
Brendan Daniel
CFA Tutor • +5 Subjects
Lessons are tailored to your needs and are not simply filled with reading the book back to you. I firmly believe in bringing the practical application of subjects to education. What you are learning isn't all theory, after all. I'll have accomplished my job if I can be a foundational block to getting you closer to your goal.I graduated with a degree in Psychology and a minor in Economics. Since graduation, I worked in asset management as a portfolio manager while pursuing my CFA, and recently founded my own firm. Currently, I am a level 3 CFA candidate and portfolio manager for my digital asset hedge fund. I focus on the fund's DeFi investment strategy, blockchain research, and protocol risk management.For students, (and interns), I have taught solidity, python, CFA level 1 and 2 material, Series 7, 63, and 65. I have also taught financial modeling, smart contract development, data analysis, and machine learning model development in python.(CFA material includes micro/macro economics, financial statement analysis, equity/fixed income valuation, derivatives, portfolio management and theory, alternative investments, and quantitative methods).

I just graduated from Pomona College, in east Los Angeles, and I grew up in northern California and Beijing, China. In college, I majored in English and Philosophy/Politics/Economics, but I am passionate about a variety of subjects including math and Mandarin Chinese. Outside of class, I interviewed prospective applicants in the Pomona College Admissions Office and tutored my peers through the writing center.My tutoring philosophy is that boosting confidence and interest in a subject will lead to your success. As a liberal arts school graduate, I know the struggles and joys of learning across multiple disciplines: I want to help you learn the same strategies that have made me successful.Feel free to contact me to see if I'm a good fit for your student's needs!

Adult ESL/ELL Tutor • +24 Subjects
Learning should above all, be fun!Granted, most of my tutoring and teaching experience has been with Elementary School ages, but as with any aspect of life and learning, I believe it is possible to adapt any subject area to make it interesting, either by changing the way it is taught or switching the way it is viewed into a more positive mindset.I have an Elementary (K-8) general teaching certificate, a 7-12 English teaching certificate, as well as an AZ fingerprint clearance card and First Aid and CPR Certification. I enjoy working with all ages. My most enjoyable teaching and tutoring moments have been watching people problem solve a new way to accomplish a task on their own, and see how that enables them to start taking the initiative for their own learning and problem solving.

I plan for many exciting opportunities for the children to ensure they are stimulated and interested in what they are being taught. During lessons, I guarantee that my plans contain activities which cater to all learning styles."Those who know, do. Those that understand teach."Aristotle

American Literature Tutor • +16 Subjects
I first became familiar with the other side of the teacher/student relationship while tutoring a Japanese student taking an English as a Second Language class. While working with her I discovered the trust the student has with the teacher, and how carefully this trust must be preserved. I also learned to keep myself out of the student's work, in other words the student's work was entirely work of the student.

I am a graduate of the New York Institute of Technology. I received my Bachelor of Science in Life Sciences with a Pre-Medical concentration, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude. I am working towards obtaining my M.D. Degree and hope to become a doctor in our growing scientific community.I have four years worth of professional and non-professional tutoring experience. I was employed by the New York Institute of Technology to tutor fellow students in subjects such as Calculus, General Biology, Physics, Organic Chemistry, Human Physiology, Embryology, Histology and Statistical Analysis. I have extensive one-on-one tutoring experience, small group (2-5 students) tutoring experience and classroom setting tutoring experience. I have worked with high school and college students, as well as elementary and middle school children in the subjects of math and science. All of my students have demonstrated great improvement in their test scores and showed a much better understanding of the material. I primarily use visual methods during my tutoring session such as charts, pictures, diagrams, colors and most importantly, organization, to give my students a better understanding of subject. However, I am very flexible with my teaching, and I am dedicated in creating a very personalized method that works best for each individual student. I truly believe that patience and hard work are the keys to success, and combined with the right tools anyone can overcome any obstacles they find while trying to further their education.While I do tutor many subjects, my personal favorite has to be Biology/Anatomy/Physiology and Genetics. I am fascinated by the human body and its complexity. That is actually the reason I chose the M.D. Route. I am always yearning to learn more, and I hope to pass that enthusiasm onto my students as well. When I'm not tutoring, I both act in theatre productions and sing with my A Cappella group. I also love reading, writing and drawing.

Jared
Graduate Test Prep Tutor • +5 Subjects
My passion for helping students comes from my own personal experience. When I was being tutored, I would always look forward to the "aha" moments, where everything clicks and the material makes sense to me. I wish to impart that upon my students. As a former tutor of the SAT, ACT and of math, I know what test prep is all about, and the strategies needed to make success come to fruition.I received my BS in Accounting and Finance from Binghamton University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I will be starting law school in the 2021-2022 school year, and I am currently taking a gap year to tutor and teach the LSAT, exclusively, full-time. I tutor the LSAT exclusively, because I believe it is important to totally immerse oneself in a subject as much as possible, when teaching it, to dedicate oneself to mastery, or at least, as close to it as is reasonably possible.My teaching philosophy focuses on understanding the thought process of my students, to ascertain gaps in their reasoning, to put them on the path to success.
