...current student attending graduate school at Columbia University. I graduated from Yale University in 2011 and upon graduation, joined Teach for America, a non-profit organization whose mission is is to help close the current opportunity gap that exists in classrooms across the U.S. I taught 1st 2nd and 3rd grade for three years and while teaching, earned a Master's Degree in Education.

...Studies, Spanish, and Psychology. I have tutored all throughout high school and also have previous experience working with Mad Science of Long Island teaching general concepts in science to younger students of ages between 5-12 years old.

I am extremely passionate about teaching (both my brother and mother are teachers) and truly look forward to sharing some of the...

...Fordham, the Physics Department requires that all upperclassmen be available for tutoring in the classes they've succeeded in, meaning that I've tutored in several areas of Physics and Math for two consecutive years. I've also had the pleasure of tutoring my younger siblings in anything they need help with (I have a 9 yr. old sister who loves Science, and I believe I've played at least a small role in that). I love tutoring; many...

...intermittently for friends and family. All of these experiences have been contributed to my teaching style. My philosophy for tackling challenging academic subjects is also an outgrowth of my own personal study habits. I believe that organization is key. I have found that a certain combination of systematic organization and simplification of every detail helps to illuminate the solution. Having a structured and repeatable approach can then be engrained in the thought process through repetition,...

...exams, including European and American History, English Literature, Spanish, and Biology. I started doing standardized test prep by helping my younger sister study for both the PSAT and SAT on all three sections. When studying I love to make history fun, make math simpler and easier to understand, and help students feel calmer and more confident when taking tests. In my freetime, I like to explore everything New York City has to offer, including watching...

...task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery. My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts. I am a confident teacher of test preparation skills. I provide reading and...

I began tutoring six years ago, and have been working with a variety of age groups and subjects ever since. I have tutored in elementary schools, middle schools, high schools, and colleges. In college, I majored in Philosophy and minored in Physics and English. I'm excited to work with students and help them learn in their own individual ways!

...my own education, I want to do the same for you!

I'm easy to talk to, I have a very nurturing nature, and...

...GMAT tests. My SAT students have had extremely positive results, averaging over 275 points of improvement. My last class of 20 students averaged over 300 points of improvements. I have had similar success preparing students for SAT subject tests and AP exams. My students benefit from my comprehensive knowledge of the subject matter, high energy, enthusiasm, and patience. I spend time getting to know the individual needs of my students and then tailor a program...

...textbook. I'm here to make even the driest material interesting and personally relatable, and to talk out difficulties when they arise. I hate memorizing, and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best...

...tutored elementary students to college students. Additionally, I have tutored children with a variety of needs (Autism, hearing impairment, deafness, ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.). When I tutor, I focus on trying to get the child to gain confidence in themselves. If they cannot figure out the problem, I will try and help them learn process of elimination. Furthermore, I have tutored in a variety of different styles depending on the needs of the student. Currently,...

If you are looking for a tutor because you are taking a standardized test such as the GRE, GMAT, or SAT, I can help you with the verbal sections and with general test-taking strategies. I see helping a student reach his or her goal on any test as my own opportunity...

...recent Brown University graduate from Dallas Texas now living in Manhattan. I graduated with honors in political science and have a good mind for standardized tests. I am currently preparing to take the LSAT, so I am in the test taking mindset myself and am excited to help students preparing for the SAT/ACT this summer/fall. In addition to SAT tutoring, I have experience coaching high school debate and am passionate about finding ways to simplify...

...from Vanderbilt University with a degree in Education Studies and English. While at Vanderbilt, I learned the best practices for developing literacy in secondary education students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself...

...time, I enjoy reading, playing and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is my favorite), and playing music (guitar & piano). I consider myself blessed to have a creative mind and spirit; I always endeavor to bring this creativity into anything I do. I am a big proponent of thinking outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime."...

...the area. At first, I was a math tutor for students K-8; then a mentor for a student to formulate better study habits and work ethic; and to conclude my college career, I student taught in various grade levels. Working one on one in a tutoring session, I really like to relate to the student and connect their experiences to what we are learning about. These connections trigger interest which then triggers motivation to learn....

Through my knowledge and years of practice in core and essential subjects such as math, chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry, I can help make your life much easier. I believe the best method for learning is understanding the concepts rather than memorizing it and this has proved to be rewarding in many ways, especially long term....

...on stage. However, due to my background in academia and teaching, I desired to maintain plugged into that world in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in...

...we move through each section. I attended a competitive university and I know what it takes to make a student a contender at the highest level of admissions. I keep the material fresh and memorable through a variety of audiovisual approaches and real-world examples. One-on-one learning should never mean lectures, and I like to hold an ongoing conversation so students use their own learning skills in new ways to solve new kinds of problems. My...
