Stephanie
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +54 Subjects
I am a senior at Yale studyung Neuroscience and History of Science, Medicine, and Public Health. I am a graduate of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme and a recipient of the IB Diploma. My academic background includes extensive experience in rigorous college level classes at the IB and Advanced Placement (AP) level. As a member of my school's math honor society, Mu Alpha Theta, I have volunteered my time at a local middle school to tutor students in different math levels from pre-Algebra to Geometry. I also absolutely love languages. Aside from being a native Spanish speaker, I have been studying Italian for the last four years and feel confident tutoring in these subjects. Another subject I enjoy tutoring is Standardized Testing, where I help high school students prepare for exams like the SAT, PSAT, and ACT. Preparing for these exams is crucial in order to achieve a good score, and I always make sure that my students are comfortable with both the format and the material on each exam. As a student, I know how important tutoring is, not only to improve grades but also to gain a better understanding of the material. Whenever I dedicate time to tutoring, I try to keep things engaging and fun. Motivation is definitely a key to success, and I believe that with the right encouragement and guidance any student can achieve their goals. Hobbies: books, writing, reading, traveling, music, art, travel
Patrycja
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +24 Subjects
I am a freshman at Yale University. I am majoring in computer science, and my other interests include economics and history. I have experience tutoring in an Algebra 1 classroom. I edited essays and tutored students in general subject in my high school's Literacy Resource Center. I also have privately tutored calculus. In college, I am a teaching assistant for a program that teaches middle and high school girls to code.
Ethan
AP Statistics Tutor • +66 Subjects
I am not teaching or grading papers, I can usually be found playing some brass instrument or another, umpiring baseball, trying out a new recipe in the kitchen, or spending far too much time on Netflix.
Daria
Pre-Algebra Tutor • +31 Subjects
I am a current undergraduate student at Cornell University studying Electrical and Computer Engineering. I have a strong science and math background having taken many courses in Physics, Computer Programming, and various mathematics subjects ranging from Geometry, to Multivariable Calculus, to Differential Equations. I am also very passionate about English, Literature, Russian Studies, Spanish Language, and History. I believe that the key to success is having a well rounded education, so when I am not programming microcontrollers, one can either find me watching Russian news channels to polish up my vocabulary, reading textbooks on the history of the Middle East, or simply immersing myself in a Jane Austen novel. In my free time I also enjoy training for CrossFit, playing the viola, and traveling. Hobbies: books, traveling, music, art, travel, reading, writing

Niko
Calculus Tutor • +28 Subjects
I am a graduate student working in the humanities. I can tutor a wide variety of subjects in the humanities and social sciences from the middle school to the graduate school level. I am fluent in several languages. I worked as a T.A. for a writing class at a university and have experience editing undergraduate writing. I understand the perspective of college professors and T.A.'s and can help students achieve the level of writing and analysis that professors expect from them on papers and exams. The students with whom I have worked in the past have improved their academic performance. I am adaptable and am willing to work with students to the extent possible as a tutor to help them achieve academic success.

Zach
SAT Reading Tutor • +6 Subjects
I am a Yale University Berkeley College graduate of the Yale Class of 2012 with an Intensive B.S. in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology. Eager for tutoring opportunities, I welcome any of you who wishes to undergo SAT/PSAT or ACT Test Preparation that will get you the scores you need for admission to the college of your choice. As for my experience, I have tutoring experience in both one-to-one settings, going as far back as high school, and group/classroom settings, especially from my 4 years of tutoring with Yale MATHCOUNTS. As a likely future graduate student myself, it is my general goal in life to continue the tradition of passing forth knowledge. Not surprisingly, I have always considered tutoring and education among the most noble of professions where both parties, student and teacher, benefit and learn. What makes me an excellent tutor? Over the course of my life I have had the good fortune of cultivating a variety and number of skill sets, some of which are academic and social in nature. While I certainly consider academic prowess important for the success of any instructor, I would say the most important skill set I have developed is that of adaptability. If a tutor can adapt him/herself to the mode and manner of thinking of another, the tutor, as well as the tutor's audience, will have especially effective and enriching transactions.
Mackenzie

I am a recent graduate of Northwestern University, where I received my BA in Philosophy and Political Science. As a former editor-in-chief of a high school newspaper and a peer writing coach, I enjoy tutoring in reading and English; however my passions truly lie in the realm of civics and government (ask me about my current position working in a governor's office!). I love talking through big ideas and unique perspectives. I am a word nerd who loves reading and is driven by the chance to learn new things!
