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 summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Barnard College of Columbia University where I majored in Dramatic Arts and Literature. I also studied American History, Calculus, and Astronomy extensively. My areas of tutoring expertise include SAT test prep in all three sections (math, writing, and critical reading), PSAT test prep, US History, high school Algebra, Public Speaking, and Essay Writing. I particularly enjoy helping students hone their writing skills, guiding them to uncover a more personalized style within a cohesive and effective structure. Outside of tutoring, I am an actress, singer, and dancer who enjoys running, frequenting coffee shops, and watching HBO.

I am an elementary school teacher and reading specialist who loves helping my students find joy and empowerment through reading. Reading is the key to unlocking knowledge across subjects, including math and science, which I also have experience in and enjoy teaching.

I am a rising junior at Barnard College of Columbia University, majoring in Political Science with a minor in Economics. I have experience tutoring students aged 7 to 17, primarily in high school. While I am able to tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Historysubjects I once struggled with as a child but have since made significant progress in, thanks in part to tutoring. I am familiar with Common Core and AP standards, and I also have experience helping students prepare for the English sections of the ACT. When tutoring, I love incorporating real-life examples to make lessons accessible and personally relevant to each student, using their interests to guide my teaching style. In my spare time, I love running, reading, singing, and traveling.

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.

Hi there! My name is Joelle Santiago. I am an accomplished academic, artist, and ardent learner. I hold a B.A. from Barnard College of Columbia University, Cum Laude. I have extensive experience in advanced literary analysis, writing and critical social theory. My writing has been praised by field leaders as "immensely curious", and "brilliant".I love learning from and laughing with the students that I work with. It continues to be a tremendous pleasure to witness and partake in the discovery-making of others. During the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic I launched (and taught within) a volunteer tutoring system to assist NYC school families struggling to adjust to the crisis. I also regularly teach dance to ages K-12. My teaching philosophy centers respect for her students, goal setting, and unites fun and rigor. I am excited to help K-undergraduate students develop their writing, reading, and critical thinking skills.

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 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.

Learning is a journey, and I am excited to help you on yours!

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 am currently studying Economics and East Asian Studies at Columbia University. Outgoing by nature, I have a teaching method that is very interactive. During a tutoring session, my students should expect a dialogue rather than a lecture. I have a background tutoring Math and Mandarin Chinese to students ranging from Elementary School to College.

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.

Because of my passions for helping others and sharing my knowledge, I've gravitated toward tutoring since my early high school years. I'm now in my last year of college-- I study environmental science and art history at Barnard College of Columbia University in New York City-- and I'm happy that I've been able to continue to tutor a wide range of ages in a wide variety of subjects throughout college. My passion for languages shapes my preferred tutoring realm; I especially enjoy teaching others the languages I am familiar with and fluent in, which include English, German, Italian, and Spanish. I also enjoy assisting in science-related fields, mostly for school-aged children and teens. Lastly, in my fifteen years of violin-playing, I have been part of a number of ensembles, including the Columbia University Orchestra, and have taught violin to elementary and middle school students.

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 graduated from Barnard College with a Bachelor of Arts. I have worked with students, from schools such as Mott Hall II, P.S. 75, and Girls Prep Charter School, to help them approach standardized tests with calm and ease. I believe that test taking does not have to be scary, especially if approached with the right tools and mindset. I am known for being patient and friendly, with a genuine desire to help students improve their scores. I tutor the SAT, ACT, and SSAT, and my specialties are reading, writing, and English. In my spare time, I like to explore the city, play music, write screenplays, exercise, and spend time with friends and family.

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.

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 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.

Hello! My name is Nicole and I am a tutor who is currently pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Economics and Political Science from Barnard College of Columbia University. I have over 2 years of experience helping high school students excel in their college application essays and SAT skills. My approach is student-centered; I believe in tailoring each lesson to address individual strengths and weaknesses, ensuring that my feedback is detailed and constructive.

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 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.
