My journey through science and teaching has ignited my passion for tutoring math and science. With a B.A. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Barnard and a PhD in Biomedical Sciences underway at Rutgers, I've developed a strong grasp of these subjects. Tutoring students in Algebra through Calculus III at Columbia University and leading SAT math classes for students from low-income backgrounds showed me how impactful good instruction can be. It was amazing to see students grasp tricky concepts and gain confidence in their abilities. I'm passionate about math and science because I believe they're essential for academic and personal growth. My experiences have taught me that with the right support, students can not only understand these subjects but also truly enjoy them. I'm excited to continue tutoring and helping others discover the same passion for math and science that drives me.

My background is in teaching composition, creative writing and analytical writing to college students. I have a PhD in Comparative Literature and I've published essays, stories, and plays. I taught at the University of Notre Dame for nine years. I am happy to be tutoring now because it gives me the opportunity to have an impact on students' lives from an early age.

I have a PhD in Psychological and Brain Sciences from Johns Hopkins University and a BA in Psychology with a minor in History from Barnard College. I have experience teaching and tutoring undergraduate students and have volunteered as a high school math tutor. I have a strong interest in most academic subjects but I particularly enjoy tutoring math. I've made extensive use of statistics as part of my research on vision and attention so I'm in a good position to talk about how certain concepts are used in the real world. I'm also a huge bookworm and offer SAT Critical Reading prep as well as general tutoring for writing. My hobby is creative writing and I'm currently writing up parts of my dissertation for publication, so I can help with writing from literary analysis to history research papers to the writing aspect of lab reports. When I'm not reading or writing, I'm playing the hammered dulcimer and teaching myself to code in new languages.When a student is struggling I'm always on the lookout for issues that don't have to do with the specific subject matter, such as test anxiety, a lack of organization, of a belief that the subject matter will not be useful later in life. When it comes to the actual material, I believe that there is almost always more than one way to approach a problem and that students should figure out what works best for them. I've studied learning and memory extensively, so I'm always ready to offer up advice. Not everyone learns the same way, and that's fine! While it's ideal for students to gain a deep understanding of the material, when it comes to standardized and multiple choice tests, test-taking strategies make a huge difference. I've used these strategies very successfully in the past.

I am a third year PhD candidate in History at Stony Brook University. I have experience teaching and tutoring students in high school and college as well as babysitting and teaching younger students. I have also taught adult GED students. I studied American Studies at Barnard College for undergrad. I have taken AP classes in Biology, Calculus, American History, World History, and English. I also achieved a NY Regents diploma in high school.I am passionate about educating and am interested in teaching in creative and individual ways that are conducive to each student.

I received my undergraduate degree in English and creative writing from Barnard College, Columbia University, where I graduated with honors. I am currently working toward my Masters of Science in Education at Bank Street College of Education, where I am a student in the Reading & Literacy program. Currently, I am an elementary and middle school teacher in New York City. I have experience working with diverse student populations and believe that all students can become lifelong learners regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. As a former fifth grade teacher and current fourth grade teacher, I have experience teaching math, writing, reading, science, and social studies. My teaching and management style depends upon a unique blend of developmentally appropriate expectations, inquiry-based instruction, and humor. I believe that a student's social-emotional education is as important as any academic subject, and I customize lessons to appeal to each student's interests.

I am a sophomore at Barnard College of Columbia University majoring in History with a minor in Spanish. I have 4 years tutoring experience with middle school, high school, and college students with specialties in math, writing, and Spanish. Outside of school, I enjoy working out, going to museums, and watching documentaries!

I am an endlessly curious person who genuinely enjoys learning and teaching. My favorite part about tutoring is the chance to meet new and interesting people and share in the process of learning and understanding. The subjects I am most passionate about are music, ELL/ESL, culture and language learning in general.Music is a big part of my life - I am a violinist, music teacher and performer. I also enjoy traveling and getting to know other cultures and their languages. I lived in Beijing, China for 4 years and also in Quito, Ecuador for 4 years and learned to speak both Mandarin Chinese and Spanish.During my time in China, I tutored many students in English and developed a real respect for the difficulties of learning this language! But it is also fascinating and opens the doors to so many opportunities. I know that students pursuing this goal work hard and I am excited to help them achieve it to the best of their ability.Regarding my experience as a music teacher I have taught beginning to advanced violin, viola, cello and bass as well as both SL and HL IB Music (which includes in depth work in music history, theory and analysis). I also work as an IB Examiner, giving me a unique perspective on the range of talent around the world in this area. IB Music is a particularly comprehensive course but when approached well, very rewarding in terms of it's benefits to your understanding and appreciation of music.

I am a current sophomore at Barnard College studying Biochemistry with a minor in Dance. I have previous tutoring experience in AP Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, for both high school and college age students. My personal teaching philosophy is to lead my sessions with a student-based approach. As a current student myself, I understand the frustrations that we can encounter when working to learn a new subject, and I am committed to working with students to help them learn in the best way for them. Outside of school, I am on the dance team, I pursue neural engineering research, and I am the Assistant VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in my sorority.

As a physics major at Barnard College of Columbia University, I've worked as a tutor since I was in high school, helping peers and younger students with physics and math. I love helping people understand my favorite subjects and can't wait to do more work as a tutor.Outside of tutoring, I spend a lot of time exploring New York, reading, and doing community service.

I have a BA in Anthropology from Barnard College and a MS in Epidemiology from the University of Massachusetts, and I am currently doing cancer research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center. As a student I was never been able to decide on a favorite subject because I felt anything I studied in school could be fun and much easier if approached with the right attitude. Instead of boring memorization, I like to look for patterns and think of creative approaches to study subjects that can otherwise be very frustrating. My goal as a tutor is to help students gain confidence and to think of creative approaches to subjects (or standardized tests) that they struggled with in the past.

I attend Barnard College of Columbia University, working towards a Psychology degree. I love connecting with people, and languages has always been my path towards doing so. Creative writing and English classes have helped me to connect with other authors and texts, and learning different languages allows me to do the same with different cultures. I have spoken French for 8 years, German for 4, and began to learn Spanish this past year. Tutoring is a very collaborative process for me, as the student cannot learn if they don't feel comfortable engaging with the materialI strive to make sure that sessions feel laidback and easy-to-follow as we work through any challenges.

I studied Comparative Literature - French and English at Barnard College from 2005-2009. While attending Barnard I studied abroad in Paris at Columbia's Reid Hall program and at The Sorbonne. I trained and worked as a Barnard Writing Fellow, editing college-level papers and tutoring fellow students in essay writing and public speaking. I also volunteered as a tutor for NYC fifth graders. To this day, I am still an avid reader and I volunteer as a tutor for children in my free time in addition to performing improv and playing music.

I am a passionate educator with specialties in physics, physical science, the college application process, and college application essay writing. I have a bachelor's degree in Physics from Barnard College, and a Master's Degree in Science Education. I have over eight years of experience in science education ranging from tutoring undergraduate physics students and teaching middle school biology, chemistry, physics and earth science. I also have two years of experience advising students through the college application process, and revising college application essays. I'm excited to meet and work with you!

I am a dedicated teacher from New York City currently located in Spain. I received my MST in Childhood General and Childhood Special Education. In addition to engaging in private tutoring, I have also worked in private schools in the Manhattan area.I encourage my students to develop their questioning skills and take control of their learning. My proudest moments as a teacher are when a child goes home and independently researches or reads about a topic because a lesson has piqued their curiosity. In addition, school content should be both challenging and applicable to the students experience outside the classroom. Delpit argues for this dual aspect of learning that is both relevant and challenging in her work Multiplication is for White People.

I always loved learning and excelled in school but only when I became a teaching assistant in college did I realize how much teaching is something I am great at and passionate about.I love to see my students excel and will work with them until they feel confident with their mastery of the material whether for a class or standardized test. I know that each student needs something different depending on their grade level, learning style, background, and academic goals and I tailor my teaching style to my students. My main goal when I tutor is to have my student leave the session knowing that they learned a ton and that their grades will show it!At the same time, my passion for the subjects I teach is contagious and I love to see my students get excited about a subject they previously thought was too challenging, dry, or boring. I like to make the material come alive. For example, when I teach biology, I love to interweave real life examples of how a scientific principle can be seen in nature or in our bodies.I graduated from Barnard College, Columbia University majoring in Linguistics but then did a post-bac for Pre-Med at Harvard and next year I will be going to medical school. My dual background in the humanities and sciences has given me knowledge in a wide range of subjects. I have experience tutoring anything from elementary school Math to High School English Literature to college level biology. I work with my students on what they are learning using the materials and the style your professor/ teacher prefers because I want my students to ace their tests and assignments!I took the MCAT exam for medical school, scoring in the 96th percentile and the 100th percentile (perfect score) in the psychology and sociology section of the exam. Since taking the exam, I have tutored for the exam and am eager to share everything I have learned in how I brought my score up. I know which subjects are 'high yield' and which can be brushed over. I have a very good sense of how to help my students structure their studying and I will work with them as much as they need to devise a plan as well as tutor them in subject-specific materials. I fought with the beast that is the MCAT and I want my students to crush it too!

I received my BA in English from Barnard College, Columbia University, where I graduated summa cum laude in 2011. I'm currently a PhD Candidate and Instructor in the English Department at Stony Brook University.Over the past eight years, I've worked with a wide range of students, ages elementary through college as both a tutor and classroom instructor. I teach college literature classes during the year and work in a pre-college program at Columbia teaching research, writing and public speaking to high school students every summer. I love discussing literature and writing with my students and enjoy working to improve their skills in these areas.

I believe the key to education is to promote the underlying understanding of the concepts. Once a topic is understood, the application of the numbers comes easily. People don't really hate math; they hate feeling uncomfortable with it.

Hi there! I'm Sasha and I am a former high school biology teacher and MBA graduate who is excited to help you find success and enjoyment in your biology, chemistry, or math class or SAT II Subject Test. I taught high school biology at a public high school in New Jersey for three years and really enjoyed working with students. Additionally, I've had success on the SAT and the GMAT exams, and look forward to sharing my tips and tricks with students or business school applicants who are gearing up for these exams. Finally, having worked with a wide range of students, including many with IEPs or Section 504 accomodations, I have lots of strategies and ideas to help students who learn differently master content and can also help students who could use some extra support in their organizational and study skills.I'm available on weekday evenings and at most times on Saturday and Sunday. Don't hesitate to get in touch if you think I could help you or your student. Thanks, and I look forward to hearing from you!

I am an experienced teacher and tutor who has worked with students at all levels for ten years. My students have consistently shown increased test scores and understanding, in part because I make the learning fun. Plus, I am skilled at identifying and addressing other issues that interfere with understanding (such as fear or misunderstanding of basic skills). My credentials: I hold New York state certification in Chemistry and English. At present I teach test preparation and tutor while I work on a book. In the past, I have taught middle school science, high school English, and elementary math and test-based preparation for the SAT, SSAT, ISEE in English and math. My main background is in English, but I started college in engineering school. Also I'm a published writer and have been thanked for my contributions to three award-winning books. My results: Most recently, a student I worked with credited me with helping her get a 98 on the English Regents. Another student I tutored over the summer raised his English Regents score from a 59 (failing) to a 79, easily passing. Another student over the course of a year went from failing math to getting an A-. Two of my elementary students this year got 4s in math and 3.8 in ELA.

As recent graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University, with a BA in Physiological & Organismal Biology, I am always eager to teach and mentor others, and to share my love for lifelong learning.I have worked as a teaching assistant for several college-level biology labs (including Physiology, Ecology, and Cellular & Molecular Biology) and worked as an undergraduate research assistant in a Neuroscience & Behavior lab. As an active emergency medical technician and certified instructor, I have also spent significant time training EMT students and active EMTs in New York. I love working with students of all ages, and have tutored middle school students as well.I'd be happy to help with any of your educational needs, to identify study & learning techniques that work best for you, and to help you achieve your goals! I believe the tutor and student are partners, and that this collaboration, with a continuous and honest dialogue, can surely lead to success.I have a strong background in Biology and EMT licensure training (NREMT, CT or NY), and am also glad to assist with several other topics including, and not limited to, ACT/SAT test prep, writing, middle school coursework, and Anatomy & Physiology.

I grew up in Virginia, where I completed the International Baccalaureate Diploma program in 2009. In 2013, I graduated from Barnard College with a degree in Political Science and Human Rights Studies. During college, I worked for the Junior Statesmen Summer School at Stanford University, where I helped students studying government, debate, international relations, and other topics. As a tutor, I believe there are no stupid questions, and that with enough hard work any student can succeed. In my free time, I'm an amateur photographer and an alumnae admissions interviewer for Barnard.

I love helping people learn. To the greatest extent possible, I customize my teaching strategy to each individual learner and his or her particular goals. The aim is improvement, always, not perfection, to see mistakes as opportunities to learn.I'm an educator transitioning from higher ed to high school teaching. I earned my PhD in sociology at Columbia University, where I also worked as an instructor, at the School of International and Public Affairs. I taught sociology for several years, as a visiting and adjunct assistant professor, at the City University of New York. Now I'm pursuing alternate route certification to teach high school social studies.

I have been tutoring students for 6 years, and I have enjoyed each moment of it! It's truly fulfilling when you see your students understand a certain subject and I hope to be a part of their academic achievements. I am an experienced tutor in math and science subjects, and I hope to share my passion for the STEM fields with someone else. As a computer science and operations research major, I hope to be able to show the real life applications of math and science problems through tutoring.

I graduated from Barnard College with a degree in English and writing. I took a wide range of classes, specializing in literature and both creative and academic writing. All throughout college I worked with students at various ages and levels, helping them succeed in school. After graduating, I spent two years teaching 3rd and 4th grade in Detroit. I absolutely loved working with my students in the classroom! As a teacher, I feel that a strong rapport with a student is essential to quality learning. I believe that a thorough education is a basic human right. In my spare time, I love to read (poetry, fiction, essays), write, explore new places, and cook new recipes.

I am a senior math major at barnard college of Columbia University. I've tutored in the math help room through calculus III for 2 years. I enjoy algebra, number theory, and topology. I am also premed and enjoy chemistry, intro physics, and organic chemistry.

I am a rising senior at Barnard College of Columbia University, studying both Music, and Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. During my time at Barnard, I have been giving private voice lessons and private music lessons (basic music theory and ear training) to students between the ages of 8-18. In high school, I peer-tutored students in Algebra I, Pre-Algebra, History, and essay-writing, my teaching/tutoring; my experiences are both versatile and extensive. Though I have experience teaching a wide range of subjects, I thoroughly enjoy tutoring students in math. In my experiences with students who struggle with math, I aim to help them understand and solve problem sets through fun step-by-step processes. As someone who grew up with a learning disability, I value patience, unique learning styles, and encouragement. Math can be challenging, but once I show students different ways to approach their problem sets, I see outstanding results. It is always wonderful to see students come to actually like math! Outside of school, I am a competitive classical singer; I have performed all over the world, from Carnegie Hall to cathedrals in Italy. Most recently, I placed first in my age division for the Bellagrande Music Competition. Being that said, I am well-versed in both music theory and ear training, and have experience teaching both subjects. I love performing, but I also love teaching the art of music and voice. Getting to witness my students' vocal and musical growth is incredibly rewarding. Above all, I want my students to succeed, progress, and find enjoyment in the work we do together.

I have been a tutor for ten years, specializing in writing and reading. As a high school student, I began tutoring my peers in writing and research. At Barnard College, Columbia University I was one of 13 students selected from my class as a Barnard College Writing Fellow. After a rigorous selection process, I was trained through an intensive semester-long seminar in critical analysis, persuasive writing and revision. I worked as a Writing Fellow for three years, tutoring and editing student work at every stage from idea to final draft. Throughout my three years, I had the highest rank among student feedback.Using my training and experience as a college level Writing Fellow, I have tutored many High School students in writing their college essays and applications. As a college application tutor, my philosophy is that each student's application needs to tell a story about who they are. Through the application, the college should be able to get to know the student. I work to not only craft this application but show the student how to better their writing through the process.I have also as a private tutor focusing on a range of subjects such as History, Psychology, Statistics, and Sociology. I help students prepare for exams using effective study methods as well as complete writing assignments specifically for these subjects.As a tutor I strive to use specific questions and techniques to enable each student to come to a new understanding of the subject matter and confidence in their mastery.

I am a current Masters Candidate at Columbia University, Teachers College in Communication Sciences and Disorders. I have been tutoring math, English, test prep, and foreign languages for over ten years.I graduated with honors from Barnard College with a degree in Political Economy. During college, I also studied Spanish literature, Hindi, and Urdu, and received the prestigious Department of State Critical Language Scholarship for Urdu study in Lucknow, India. During that time, I taught SAT critical reading and writing at East Harlem Tutorial, raising average scores by over 200 points for her students. I was then hired by the Spanish government to teach English language through content classes in trilingual Catalan focused elementary and high schools. While in Spain, I also developed and taught curriculum for private children and adult classes. I then became head soft-skills trainer and curriculum developer for Anudip Foundation in Calcutta, a non-government organization aimed at teaching technology and language skills to rural Bengalis. I have been tutoring pre-numeracy through Algebra in New York for the last year, while studying communication sciences and disorder.I believe is giving students the tools to find answers to problems independently, and making the underlying logic of the problem clear. Watching students gain understanding of new concepts and break down barriers in the academic careers is the true joy I find in teaching.
