As an award-winning journalist with 10 years of experience writing professionally, I have learned to write quickly, accurately, and with finesse. I can help you do the same. Whether you are prepping for a test, brushing up on grammar or applying for college, I can help you accomplish your writing and reading goals.I earned a Master of Science, with honors, in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's in history from New York University. In my career, I have worked both as a writer and an editor. I also have done work as a writing coach and copy editor for people applying for schools and grants and writing manuscripts.I love working one-on-one with people especially when I can help them succeed. My tutoring philosophy is that no two students are the same; I will adapt every session to an individuals' needs. I can help you work on your college essays, expository and persuasive writing, grammar, public speaking, and English.Outside of my work, I love travel--especially spontaneous road trips. I love to unwind after a long day by cooking and baking. And, of course, I love to read. I enjoy all kinds of works, especially history and long-form journalism.

I am a student at Columbia University studying History & American Studies! While in high school, I completed the International Baccalaureate program and took various Advanced Placement courses. At Columbia I have worked with various public defense organizations as an advocate, investigator, and research assistant. I also volunteer as a tutor on campus, in the New York community, and even on Rikers Island. I am passionate about helping students from all backgrounds develop their writing, reading, presentation, and test-taking skills that will translate to all aspects of their education!

I'm a history fanatic, and I've been reading history books for fun since I was four years old. I graduated with a B.A. in history from Columbia in 2004, with a focus in Nigeria.I specialize in learning how to write a history (or English) term paper, how to prepare for a history (or English) test, and how to read long dense history (or English) documents and understand them.My goal as a tutor is to make myself obsolete. My students will learn history facts, but they will also learn general patterns of how to write a paper, or how historical events work. Eventually my students will no longer need me.

My own experiences taught me the influence that an educator can have on a budding reader. As a high school freshmen, I was more interested in the cracks in the ceiling than any books being discussed. But one educator took a personal interest in me, and introduced me to Joseph Heller's letters. The humor pulled me in, and the insight kept me going. I was struck by a writer's power to put the world in sharp, sane relief.I pursued my newfound interest to a Bachelor's Degree in English at Princeton, and my current pursuit of a fiction MFA at Columbia University. On the professional front, I have served editorial roles at Standard & Poor's, Encore Magazine, and Untitled. These experiences taught me the key role that written communication plays outside of academia, and the universal value of sharpening that skill.I believe that patience and empathy are essential to teaching. An educator needs the ability to understand the myriad difficulties faced by students, and the frustration that can come with it. Only then can they help students move forward.

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University's American Studies MA program. I received my undergraduate degree at NYU in Journalism and Africana Studies. I have over 2 years experience helping students in NYC. I love reading, writing, and social and cultural analysis.

I'm a computer and social scientist. I hold graduate degrees from Columbia University and the University of Chicago and earned my bachelor's at the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to teaching at the undergraduate level, I research ways the natural sciences can be used to advance the study of anthropology and history. I am currently completing my PhD.

I recently graduated summa cum laude and Phi Beta Kappa from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics. I scored exceptionally well on my SAT and earned a perfect score in the writing section. At Columbia, I took a wide variety of courses in areas ranging from computer science, calculus, and statistics to philosophy and political theory. My previous teaching and mentoring experiences include working as a volunteer math tutor at Columbia’s Double Discovery Center and as an editor at the Columbia Daily Spectator and The Columbia Undergraduate Research Journal. As a tutor, I aim to be organized, clear, concise, and patient. I'm looking forward to working with you!

I have been tutoring Pre-medical students for the past 7 years. My goal is to make the complicated easy and understandable. I try to create a comfortable environment conducive for learning. Every tutoring session will consist of a comprehensive breakdown and discussion of the subject material followed by questions to assess students weak points. Subsequent sessions will also consist of a quick review on previous topics discussed before introducing new topics. Over the years, I have found that this method works exceptionally well with students.I have found great success as a tutor because I know how to explain difficult concepts to struggling students. Because of the breadth of my knowledge and education, I can easily explain complex concepts in a number of different ways until I find the approach that works best for each student. I tailor my teaching method to each student based on their unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. I keep my tutoring sessions relaxed and stress-free, while still pushing my students to challenge themselves and reach new academic heights. I believe that each student is capable of so much more than they realize, and it is a thrill and a joy to help unlock their potential for success.I also have experience helping students with college admissions essays as well as admissions counseling and preparations. My essays have helped me gain admission to Columbia, Yale, and Johns Hopkins.I have attended Columbia University for my MS in Biotechnology and prior to that i have received my BS in Biology with Honors. I have took over 70 advance Biology courses such as: Biological Sequence Analysis (Bioinformatics), Genomic Sequencing, Proteomics, Cellular & Molecular Immunology, Bio-Physics, Single Molecule Approaches, Biotechnology, Drugs & Disease, Emergence of Infectious Diseases, Bio-pharmaceuticals. I am passionate about biology and would love to help you out with the topic.In 2011, i have started to teach MCAT prep courses for Kaplan both online and on NYU campus. Soon after, I started to teach MCAT in private settings as i have discovered many different ways to boost the MCAT scores and many of my students received great results from my tutoring. I found out that most MCAT students struggle with the MCAT due to lack of study skills and discipline; therefore, i write a daily and weekly schedule for my students and i keep my eyes on their progress. in the past few years , i have students accepting in high prestigious Medical Schools such as Columbia, Cornell, NYU, MSSM and many others.For students with difficult schedules or that live far away, I am available for online tutoring as well as remote essay and project revisions. If you have any specific needs or requests, please contact me. I am flexible, and am always willing to work around what you or your child needs to reach your academic goals!

I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, I primarily grew up in San Francisco, CA and Austin, TX. I study and work in New York City as student at Columbia University. I am currently a senior studying Biomedical Engineering with concentrations in computer science and electrical engineering. I attended high school at St. Andrew's Episcopal School where I focused extensively on mathematics and science. My high school also nurtured strong discussion and writing skills. Although I was also involved in sports and musicals, I enjoyed participating in academic competitions, in which I could explore my engineering interests, such as Science Olympiad and TEAMS. In high school, I primarily tutored in biology, physics, and mathematics. Tutoring was my way to gain teaching experience and give back to my school. In college, for similar reasons, I currently work as a TA in computer science. I also conduct glaucoma research in a clinical research lab.My tutoring approach is very methodical; I identify and isolate issues, while imparting fundamental knowledge and problem solving tips. The key to mastering any subject-I believe- is the ability to identify and understand grey areas and edge-cases in the material. I help my students identify these critical questions and answer them to the best of my abilities. I will admit, however, when I don't know the answer to a question. Rather than mislead my students, I always prefer to research an answer or attack the question together. I help my students get to the bottom of things.

I am a recent graduate from a masters program in biostatistics at Columbia University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in biological sciences, with a focus in neurobiology at Northwestern University. In August, I will be starting a doctoral program in biostatistics at NYU. I was a teaching assistant at Columbia University in my department and also have tutored graduate students and undergraduates privately as well. My primary areas of tutoring are math and statistics coursework in addition to math sections on standardized tests such as the GRE and GMAT. I am very passionate about helping students feel more confident and excited about math. In my spare time, I enjoy running, playing piano, and spending time with friends and family.

I am an attorney and a teacher. I began teaching college-level English when earning my Ph.D. at Columbia University. Since 2005, I have been an adjunct assistant professor at Hunter College, where I teach courses in literary theory and American literature, including "Law & American Literature," a course that I developed. I have taught freshman composition at Barnard College, Columbia College and, last fall, Westchester Community College. I enjoy working one-on-one with high school and college level students. I can assist your student in English, American history, and "brainstorming" and form for college admission essays.

Greetings! I am passionate about helping students to express themselves more precisely and concisely, in keeping with the two most valued qualities in English language writing. I love helping you to write more clearly. I began teaching writing during my graduate education at Columbia University's School of the Arts, where I earned my MFA in Writing. In addition to teaching the required essay writing course for two years at Columbia, I spent a year on the faculty of Central European University in Budapest, Hungary. I have also worked in numerous writing centers in NYC. I have experience teaching everything from poetry to policy writing, and I enjoy the challenges of helping students to succeed no matter the genre.

I am currently completing post-baccalaureate pre-medical program at Columbia University. Prior to my academic career at Columbia, I was a student-athlete at College of the Holy Cross, where I majored in International Relations. I am passionate about teaching because I love learning. I enjoy helping my students grow and helping them become eager to learn.

I am currently a first-year studying chemical engineering at Columbia University. I have tutored my peers throughout my high school career and currently I've been tutoring underprivileged elementary-aged students near Columbia's campus. I love working with children but am also excited to help older students be successful through their middle school and high school career. am willing to travel to locations relatively close to my campus (Morningside Heights area), can tutor students in public buildings on campus, and can tutor via online video-chat.

I graduated from Columbia University in the city of New York with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and a Minor in Applied Math. I have tutored math and SAT prep for the students from my high school. I currently work at a startup that specializes in mass producing Thermoplastic Composites parts. I believe math and science are the fundamental basis for understanding the world and the things we interact with daily.

I am a Columbia University graduate who majored in Political Science, Classics and History. I have also spent the last year as an English teacher in Connecticut.I am available to tutor in New York City and the Stamford, CT area or online.

I am a graduate student at Columbia University currently majoring in South Asian Studies with a focus on history and postcolonial theory. I attended New College of Florida where I received my bachelor's degree in History. I am an aspiring professor and an avid student of all disciplines. My tutoring experience ranges from elementary school to graduate-level work, and I have specialized for the last two years in working with students with learning disabilities. My preferred subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a library, I'm walking my Australian shepherd dog around Fort Tryon Park or shopping for used books.

In 2011 I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Visual Arts and Pre-Medical Studies. Coming from an underprivileged background, I could never imagine this being a possibility, but because of the support and encouragement of many of my teachers, I was able to see the potential they saw in me. They showed me that learning can be pleasurable and that success comes with determination where theres a will there is a way. I aspire to one day be a pediatrician. I want to not only provide help to children in need, but serve as an example to my community.During my undergraduate experience, I tutored Physics and Calculus both during summer sessions and during the academic year. I have tutored in groups and individually. I have previous experience tutoring various levels of different sciences, math, and Spanish.I think learning should always be fun and enjoyable! When it comes to tutoring, I always try to engage the student in the problem as much as possible by presenting the subject matter in various ways. Ill relate problems to tangible real life situations so that it is easier to understand. By teaching students to draw pictures, highlight important information, and memorize catchy and easy to remember phrases, I feel that my students have benefited from my teaching style.I make it a point to make sure the student truly understands the questions presented and that theyre not just memorizing a series of steps without comprehension. I ask them many questions when tackling a problem, stressing that Im there to fill in the blanks and help them improve in the subject Im not there to give out the answers. In my opinion the most important thing about tutoring is to be as encouraging and patient as possible. I tell my students to always stay positive and not to be clouded by frustration.I love tutoring; it fills me up with joy when Ive made learning easier for someone else.

I am a 2nd year medical student at Northeast Ohio Medical University and have tutored K-12 and college students over the past 10 years in various subjects ranging from math and science to SAT prep and language arts. My educational background includes an MPA in Development Practice from Columbia University's School of International and Public Affairs, a B.S. in Molecular, Cell, & Developmental Biology, and a B.S. in Mathematics-Economics (both from UCLA). In addition, I have scored in the 99th percentile on the SAT, ACT, and GMAT exams and scored in the 95th percentile on the MCAT. I really enjoy working with students of all ages and backgrounds and believe all students are capable of learning and being successful with the right approach to education. I would love the chance to discuss in more detail what kind of tutoring you or your student is interested in and thank you for your consideration!

I am currently a fifth year MD/PhD student at Weill Cornell and I doing my PhD in genetics and neuroscience at Rockefeller university. I majored in biology at Columbia university. I am extremely passionate about teaching and maximizing students time, resources and success.

Highly experienced tutor with diverse subject expertise. Substantial knowledge on standardized test-taking for high school, college, and graduate levels. Fantastic track record for accelerating both group and individual concept-learning and improving student performance expeditiously. A thorough and attentive professional with excellent communication and problem-solving skills who works wonderfully with students to provide an amazing customer experience.

Having experienced the rigor of learning from myriad tutors and learning centers firsthand, I feel that I have picked up several useful studying and test-taking techniques that may help all different types of students. I think it is important to find the easiest and the most efficient and enjoyable techniques for each particular student, as every individual learns better in different ways. As a college student now, I still use many of these studying strategies and have been exposed to even more from my fellow peers. I am very hard-working and dedicated, not to mention friendly, flexible, and unwaveringly supportive! :-)

Hello! I am a current student at Columbia University, majoring in Computer Sciences. I really enjoy helping other students learn, and I believe that a strong foundation is necessary for any progression to higher education. Without fundamentals, student have a difficult time following class or lectures. I can't tell you how often I am in group-study sessions or helping a friend one-on-one and the only real problem absorbing the material is because their baseline knowledge was not as strong as it should have been. I have a lot of experience with teaching and tutoring in math and science. I also am well versed with SAT prep in test-taking strategies and time management on the test, as well as creating a plan leading up to the test.Before studying at Columbia, I was a Nuclear Electrician in the Navy for six years. My experience taught me the value of patience, determination and sacrifice. It also taught me that with time and hard work, one can achieve incredible things.

English didn't just change my career; it changed my life. My journey with the English language began in Indonesia, where I earned my B.Ed. in English Language Teaching. This foundation gave me the technical how-to of linguistics and pedagogy. My move to New York City to complete my MSW at Columbia University deepened my understanding of how language serves as a bridge to opportunity and connection. My Style I combine the precision of a linguist with the empathy of a social worker. I use strengths-based approach to build a high-energy space to teach essential foundations and learning how to learn strategies so that you have the confidence to continue self-learning long after our sessions are done. Expertise TOEFL iBT: Speaking/Writing and academic synthesis. ESL/EFL: From core grammar to professional fluency. Academic Writing: Ivy League-level editing and persuasive structure. I've been on both sides of the desk. Let's turn your language goals into your next big achievement!

Teaching is not only my passion; it is my calling. This is what I was born to do. I am in love with the English language, and I want to share that love with others. I graduated from Columbia University in 2013 and decided in my senior year that I wanted to become a teacher, so I joined Teach for America. Eight years and a Master's in Education later, I am still teaching in the South Bronx as a Middle School ELA Teacher. I have also taught ELA to elementary and high school level students. Reading and writing is hard, especially if you don't enjoy it. But you don't have to love it to do i well. Let's start there, and I guarantee we will find the love along the way!

I believe that my passion and skill for teaching in the classroom currently can translate successfully to one-on-one setting with students seeking additional assistance in a variety of subjects. Over these past two years, I have taught general English and ESL in the inner city of Providence. After school, I tutor students who are at risk or are currently failing, and before school, I offer supplementary SAT help to our school's most advanced students. Now, I am seeking teaching positions for writing as I transition to graduate school next year at Columbia University for fiction.My entire academic career has focused on meaning that could be derived from literature, and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication. When I began teaching, I emphasized to my students the importance of these skills, and assured them that the ability to read, write, speak, and listen proficiently would provide them access to opportunities and expand their conception of the world. My teaching reflects my belief that other writers can develop a strong sense of self-efficacy given encouragement and the resources to break down even complicated concepts. I view my job as an English teacher and writing instructor as facilitator of this rigorous thinking, providing direction in the form of reflective questioning and references to paradigm texts.

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a bachelor's in Neuroscience (pre-med). I have tutored many high school students, mainly in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Having just taken the MCAT and scoring in the 97%, I have extensive knowledge in the sciences. I love teaching and believe in a personalized, student-based approach that emphasizes making mistakes to promote learning.

The central dichotomy of my life has always been that of academics and the performing arts; as I have spent the last six years since graduating from Columbia University in New York auditioning and performing, I have also found myself drawn to working with kids. I have worked as a nanny and tutored kids between the ages of three and seventeen, and I feel especially qualified to work with students on the writing and verbal sections of the SAT and editing their personal statements and college essays.As a high schooler, I was one of those students who LOVED standardized tests; I have always viewed them as an exciting way to measure progress and hone in on, not only academic skills, but also time management, organization, and maintaining a sense of personal calm. In fact, I love the entire college application process because I think of it not as an opaque, mysterious world of judgment behind closed doors, but as the first opportunity in a student's life to find the perfect fit. The combination of test scores and personal statement should be seen as a contribution to a conversation that leads to a student ending up in an environment suited to their strengths.

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University with a degree in English literature. I have tutored a variety of subjects for the past six years, including English, French, Writing, college applications, and test prep. I think that with the right attitude, any subject can be interesting and enjoyable, and I hope to instill the same sense of passion for these subjects in my students.

I graduated from Columbia College at Columbia University,class of 2014, with a dual degree in Biology and Russian Literature. During my time at Columbia, I participated in "Peer Health Exchange", a student run organization where we taught local high schoolers about Health & Wellness. Although my interests lie with mathematics, biology and chemistry, I am also well versed in literature and college standardized tests like the ACT and MCAT. I always enjoy conquering a new subject and I hope to pass on that passion to whomever I teach!I was raised in a family that truly believes that education is the most important tool in one's life. As such, I am in the process of applying to medical school for the class of 2020. When I am not working or studying, I enjoy photography, cooking, exploring New York and the rest of the world!

I graduated with my Master's Degree in Public Health last year, and then backpacked around 18 countries in Asia and Europe and am now reconnecting with family and enjoying life. I'm passionate about learning, exploring and teaching, and would love to tutor you. :)

I'm a current student at Columbia University studying sociology and business management. I'm passionate about helping others learn new material and reach new heights of academic excellence. In my free time, I'm usually visiting art museums, in a ballet class, or exploring the city. Feel free to reach out to me with any further questions!

Blessed to be a current MD/MPH student-physician (you might find me in the OR/ER in a few years!), recent Columbia VP&S & GWU grad. (M.Sc in Human Nutrition 21', B.Sc - Honors in Cellular & Molecular Biology 20'), and ardent student building a medical practice engaged in a humanitarian discipline. I love teaching, sharing my passion for health & physiology; biology, and revisiting concepts on anything pertinent to medicine, mathematics (calculus, statistics, epidemiology), and writing prose. I am the philosophical type of student-motivator, which to me means that I place the highest value in transforming difficult concepts into simpler, understandable processes. It is my desire to evoke a detailed, precise, imaginative explanation, opening up our minds in the session to true learning... not just the easy facts you'd attain for free a Google search away. After sessions I've had previously, students find the hardcore memorization much easier to handle, and importantly, relatable to their everyday life. Excited to help with anything you need, and don't forget: Nothing is impossible to learn, since if there is a will, there is always (& I mean ALWAYS) a way.
