Amy
College English Tutor • +13 Subjects
I have a B.A. in French and a diploma in Business French from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Paris. I also speak Greek, Italian, and Spanish.I have worked as a private tutor in the area of foreign languages, essay writing, and a variety of other subjects for more than a decade. In that time, I have witnessed the difficulties many students have when learning something that seems unfamiliar, uninteresting, or just makes no sense. Seeing this, I believe it is my responsibility to be a positive influence by ensuring that all my students do well and understand the material. For example, with French, I always give them a brief English grammar lesson beforehand which helps tremendously boost their confidence level as the foreign gradually becomes familiar.I am truly excited about working with students and encouraging them to excel. There is nothing more gratifying than seeing a student conquer his/her fears and expressing him/herself in a way he/she never thought possible. I work with each student’s specific needs in a patient yet firm manner. I also exhibit determination, empathy, and humor to make learning an enjoyable and rewarding experience. Most importantly, I am personable and understanding and believe that brings me closer to helping my students.In my free time, I love cooking Mediterranean/Greek cuisine and would love to open a restaurant one day. I also write poetry, short stories, etc. and am currently working on my first novel. Lastly, I adore knitting and crocheting cute, fashionable clothes and accessories for girls.
Gabrielle
AP Biology Tutor • +25 Subjects
I am recent graduate of Binghamton University, with a Bachelor of Sciences in Biology. I am deeply committed to the value of education, and believe that learning is a gift and an opportunity for growth that should be available to everyone. For this reason, I am passionate about tutoring and helping students, so that everyone is able to not only do well in school, but to fall in love with learning in the process. Anyone can enrich themselves through learning. This is the foundation of my teaching philosophy: in addition to emphasizing results and academic achievement, I believe it is integral to find an individual approach to each student and to focus first and foremost on teaching students to study in a way that is effective and engaging. I tutor elementary, middle, and high school students in all subjects. In my free time, I like to go running, practice dance, learn new languages, and play ping-pong.

Anna
ACT Writing Tutor • +27 Subjects
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.
Catherine
Algebra Tutor • +15 Subjects
Hello! My name is Catherine Raj and I am a second-year medical student at Ohio University Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a Bachelor's of Science in Neuroscience in 2022. Since 2015, I have tutored children from ages 3-16 in areas of math and reading, as well as their school curriculum. Apart from tutoring here, I have worked for the Kumon Learning Center as a teaching instructor for 5 years. While I am certified to tutor a broad range of subjects, I have years of experience with tutoring young children in math and reading, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, phonics, reading comprehension, and much more. I connect with elementary and middle school students very well, as I believe in understanding children in order to give them a fulfilling tutoring experience. I also very much enjoy tutoring pre-algebra and algebra as those are my favorite math subjects, as well as my best! My students and I have always had a deeper level of understanding beyond the books and I pride my style of teaching on that aspect.

Chester
Creative Writing Tutor • +18 Subjects
I love English, and good writing. Since I like working one-or-one or with a small group, tutoring is a great way for me to help young people communicate more effectively in writing. As a social scientist, I also like to talking about statistics and social science. I like to teach by example and ask lots of questions so students can discover answers themselves. When not working, I like to watch movies, exercise, and write science fiction.
Maria
ACT Prep Tutor • +15 Subjects
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Denison University. I am currently pursuing an M.D. at Case Western Reserve University. I've been a college-level teaching assistant for both introductory biology and general chemistry. Besides chemistry, I really enjoy tutoring for test prep (ACT and MCAT) because I view these types of tests to be a collection of puzzles to solve. It's a lot of fun helping students to figure out the logic behind these puzzles and apply it broadly, and it's incredibly rewarding to see this integration of knowledge translate to a high score. When working with students, I like to challenge them to identify the purpose of the problem or question and what underlying reasoning can be applied broadly in future questions. In doing so, students gain more long-term usable skills and the ability to think independently.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students typically find force and motion concepts challenging—especially understanding that objects can move at constant velocity without acceleration, and grasping why a moving object doesn't need a constant force to keep moving. Energy transformations (kinetic to potential and vice versa) also trip up many students because the concept is abstract. Additionally, students often struggle with interpreting graphs of motion, unit conversions (like converting between meters and kilometers), and understanding the difference between speed and velocity. A tutor can break these down with real-world examples and visual representations to make the abstractions concrete.
Since forces are invisible, tutors use hands-on demonstrations and diagrams to make them tangible—like rolling balls down ramps to show how friction affects motion, or using free-body diagrams to map all forces acting on an object. Many tutors also use interactive simulations or real objects (springs, weights, inclined planes) so you can see forces in action rather than just reading about them. This approach helps you develop intuition about why objects behave the way they do, which is essential for solving problems beyond just memorizing formulas.
Tutors help you understand the 'why' behind experiments, not just the steps—like explaining why you're measuring velocity at different points on a ramp, or how a simple pendulum demonstrates the relationship between period and length. They can also help you design experiments to test predictions, interpret data you've collected, and troubleshoot when results don't match expectations. This builds your scientific reasoning skills alongside content knowledge, preparing you to think like a scientist rather than just follow procedures.
Energy is abstract—you can't see it or touch it directly—which makes it harder to grasp than concrete concepts like force. Students often confuse energy with force, or struggle to track how energy transforms from one form to another (like chemical energy in food becoming kinetic energy when you run). A tutor can use analogies and real-world scenarios (a roller coaster converting potential to kinetic energy, a battery converting chemical to electrical energy) to make these transformations visible and memorable. Breaking energy into its forms—kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical—and showing how they're related helps students build a mental model they can apply to new problems.
Motion graphs—position-time and velocity-time graphs—confuse many students because they require translating between visual, numerical, and conceptual representations. A tutor will help you connect the shape of a graph to what's actually happening (a steep line means fast motion, a horizontal line means the object isn't moving), and practice reading graphs alongside real motion scenarios. Many tutors use technology or physical demonstrations where you can watch an object move while its graph is drawn in real-time, making the connection between the motion and the graph immediate and intuitive.
Effective problem-solving in physics requires identifying what's given, what you're looking for, and which concepts apply—not just plugging numbers into formulas. A tutor teaches you to draw diagrams (like free-body diagrams), identify the physics principles at play, and work through problems step-by-step with clear reasoning. They also help you check whether your answer makes sense (Does the direction of the force match the direction of acceleration? Is the energy value reasonable?). With practice on varied problems, you develop problem-solving patterns that transfer to new scenarios you haven't seen before.
Rather than memorizing that a lever has a mechanical advantage, a tutor shows you how levers work in tools you use daily—a crowbar, scissors, a seesaw—and helps you calculate the actual advantage they provide. They might explore how pulleys reduce the force needed to lift something, or how inclined planes make moving heavy objects easier. This approach transforms simple machines from abstract concepts into tools you can analyze and understand, making the physics meaningful and memorable rather than just formulas to memorize.
Physics rewards understanding because once you grasp why objects accelerate when forces act on them, you can solve countless problems without memorizing each one. A tutor focuses on building your conceptual foundation—asking you 'why' questions, having you predict what will happen before seeing results, and connecting new concepts to ones you already know. This approach means you're less likely to forget material, and you can tackle unfamiliar problems by applying principles rather than searching for a matching formula. It's a slower, deeper process than memorization, but it pays off in both retention and confidence.
