I am a graduate of St. John's University in Queens, New York, which is also where I'm from. I received my Bachelor of Arts in English in 2011, then followed up with a Master's Degree in the same discipline in 2013 . Even though my background is in the humanities, I've always had an appreciation for math and would be thrilled to tutor in subjects related to Math and English alike. I also look forward to helping students prepare for Standardized Tests. I know the importance of having confidence when taking these exams, and I believe the best builder of confidence is preparation. My philosophy is that education in general is essential to a fulfilling and successful life; but my motto is that the most important form of education to achieve those things, is the quest to study and understand one's self. In my spare time I enjoy reading and listening to music.

I am an English major and potential Secondary Education minor at Boston College. I hope to concentrate on creative writing, so naturally it is my favorite subject to tutor. In assisting students with writing at Boston Latin, I have found that some students have a natural turn for writing essays and need little more than encouragement and editing. With most students, however, writing is not a skill they can effortlessly pick up, and creativity is not instantly fluid. Bearing that in mind, I use a Socratic method to draw out ideas and key words and phrases when helping students come up with responses to creative writing essay questions, i.e., the kind given on SATs, ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have also done a fair amount of math and science tutoring with middle and high school students, which is almost easier, since full comprehension can be immediately and clearly demonstrated. I generally design some sort of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out the general concept in a unique way; for example, I will use an angle maze to teach geometric angle theorems. I am a proponent of the mindset that learning to learn is much more important than learning pure information, so I always focus more on the process than the outcome. I love to teach, and I hope to work in a high school some day!

My tutoring career formally began six years ago--since then, I have been gradually developing my own personalized collection of tips and tools for effective learning in a large range of disciplines.My journey began in high school as a tutor for a handful of middle school students struggling with mathematics. The private sessions instilled within me an appreciation for the power of conceptual connections. I found that each individual student's network of knowledge was vastly different, and so the connections they drew in order to arrive at solutions differed as well. It became my goal and pleasure to guide these students along their own intellectual pathways towards a better understanding.During my undergraduate career at the University of Texas at Dallas, I continued to fortify this skill. Employed by the on-campus Student Success Center as both a Peer Tutor and Supplemental Instruction Leader, I led sessions for advanced engineering mathematics, statics and dynamics, mechanics of materials, physics, and calculus. Through these programs, I was introduced to new methods for helping students attain their own understanding of course materials with only minimal guidance from myself. These methods relied upon the fact that, oftentimes, students already possess the foundational knowledge to arrive at correct conclusions--they simply lack the confidence and/or the roadmaps to get there. That's where I come in.After finishing my B.S. in Mechanical Engineering last May, I moved back to the Raleigh-Durham area to continue my education at Duke University for an M.S. in Mechanical Engineering. As aforementioned, much of my tutoring experience has been in STEM fields (calculus, physics, chemistry, etc.)--but as a student who has prepared for, agonized over, and ultimately suffered through the SAT and GRE standardized tests, I would love to be able to impart my own knowledge and strategies for these as well.If it's nice out and I'm not tutoring or buried in my textbooks, you will either find me rock climbing at the Triangle Rock Club, playing Ultimate Frisbee, working on my car, or enjoying the great outdoors (beaches, mountains, forests--you name it, I love it). On rainy weekends I enjoy tinkering with computers and old electronics, playing Pokemon, or picking at my guitar.

Hi! My name is Victoria, and this fall I will be attending the University of Southern California to study biomedical engineering and economics. I tutor because I'm very passionate about helping others to understand their schoolwork or to "crack the SAT." Seeing the light bulb go off when a student finally gets it is an amazing feeling! Because all of this material is fresh in my mind, I'm able to share personal experiences and give first hand advice on all of the subjects that I tutor. I work hard to make sure that my explanations are clear and easy to understand, and I love finding free online resources to help my students!

Hi! I am a high-achieving student going to attend NC State for Engineering. I am very well-rounded and can teach just about any subject from kindergarten to high school in math, English, and in between. I have performed exceptionally on standardized tests with a near-perfect math score on the SAT and know how to get your child to where you want them. I have a passion for teaching and have three years of paid experience. Whether your child is struggling in a particular subject or you want them to get ahead, I am here for you! With a 1:1 focused environment, I can't wait to see your child excel.

Hi! My name is Sivani and I am a recent university graduate. I graduated with honors distinction with two degrees, Biology and Psychology. I have extensive tutoring experience of all ages, from elementary school to college aged students. Teaching is a passion of mine. and something I have proven to excel in, as I have helped many students improve their grades. Let me help you with your classes too!

I passionately teach to make an exceptional difference in my students' lives. My 15 years of teaching experience with a diverse population of all ages and levels in English and Spanish enables me to make success attainable for each student. My tutoring sessions are tailored to fit each individual's needs and goals. I enjoy planning and implementing content-based, result-oriented, engaging instruction by blending creative arts and disciplines that inspire each student to learn, grow and achieve.

Working individually with a student to help him or her solve problems is the most fulfilling aspect of being an educator. The most influential moments of my own education occurred during my professors' office hours during undergraduate and graduate schools. As a secondary science teacher, I find it difficult to provide students (in large classes with hectic schedules) with vital on-on-one instruction. I am grateful for the opportunity to provide students of any age the important experience of individual instruction.

I am currently a freshman at North Carolina State University pursuing a undergraduate degree in Chemical Engineering. I enjoy tutoring students in Algebra, Precalculus, Calculus, and all levels of Chemistry. I have studied math through Differential Equations and chemistry through college level quantitative chemistry.

I am a junior at UNC Chapel Hill double majoring in Computer Science and Statistics & Analytics. I thoroughly enjoy tutoring and teaching, and have had experience in doing so through my past jobs as a math/reading tutor at Kumon, a violin teacher at summer camps, as well as a camp counselor at an elementary school. I love working with different types of people and getting to know their learning styles so that they can be the most successful!
