I am an international educator with over sixteen years of experience teaching and coaching in IB schools across the United States, the UAE, China, and Panama. I hold a Master's in Education, a Master's in Sociology, and certifications in General Education, Special Education, ESL, and the Science of Teaching Reading in New York and Texas. I am also trained and certified in the IB PYP and MYP and have served as an IB Coordinator and Instructional Coach supporting teachers, leaders, and students. I specialize in IB tutoring (PYP/MYP inquiry skills, assessments, literacy, and social sciences), academic coaching, organizational skills, reading and writing support, and preparation for NY and TX teacher certification exams. I also provide structured test-prep support with a focus on strategy, confidence building, and skill mastery. My teaching philosophy centers on clarity, structure, and individualized learning paths. I help students develop strong thinking routines, independence, and the academic habits that lead to long-term success. Whether supporting a struggling reader, guiding an IB student through complex concepts, or coaching an adult learner preparing for certification exams, I create high-quality, targeted sessions that are both supportive and results-driven. Outside of teaching, I enjoy writing, travel, and design of which expand my global perspective and enrich the learning experiences I create. My goal is always to help learners grow with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.

I am a graduate of both Michigan State University and Brooklyn College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Women's Studies with a focus on African History. I also have a Master of Science in Math Education. Before I went back to school to become a math teacher, I worked as a bookkeeper for a non-profit, an organizer for a national conference that connects media arts and education, and as an editor for a local newspaper in my hometown of Detroit, Michigan. I have been a classroom teacher for eight years, teaching mainly math (but also science, literacy, and journalism) at both a high school and middle school level. I love working one-on-one with students to help them understand they can do so much more than they think they can. While I tutor multiple subjects, I am most passionate about teaching math. My goal with my students is to guide them through their challenges, facilitating their understanding through questioning, practice, and discovery. I want them to not just understand what they are learning, but to truly own their knowledge and begin to appreciate and LOVE what they are doing. In my spare time, I love to read, swim, dance, sing, and practice yoga.
Each pinnacle in my life has offered a new perspective, and inspiration to seek higher ground. My journey through the arts, education, and health advocacy has given me a unique skill set that continues to evolve, and has illumined my life's mission- To discover and share insights that are creative, well-rounded, and sustainable, for the greater good of my immediate and world community.
As a child I developed a love for reading that has lasted throughout my adult life. I enjoy helping students acquire strong literacy skills and instilling in them a similar love of reading. I received my Bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College with a major in Television Production and a minor in English. It was my study in English literature that eventually led me into teaching. I have taught in both preschool and public school. As a teacher it was my responsibility to help students learn and expand their literacy skills such as; letter recognition, phonics, grammar and vocabulary. Since reading and writing are so closely connected I also enjoy helping students to express their ideas and opinions on paper. I have taught both general and special education students; so I am familiar with writing and maintaining IEP goals. I think learning should be interactive and interesting, therefore I try to use music and games whenever appropriate. When I begin working with a student; I assess their current skills so that I can build on what they already know and help them to achieve their academic goals.I believe that all children can learn given the right tools and support.
I have tutored Spanish for the past 10 years. I have experience with all different age groups. One of my teaching tools is through music. Lets explore this language and culture together!
From PreK through middle school, I have taught at various levels and have discovered that teaching is about inspiring students to discover their potential. I believe in incorporating beneficial technological tools, the application of critical thinking, training your mind to think logically in a variety of situations as well as understanding that what we learn in is not independent but rather interactive.
I have been teaching for over thirty-five years and have enjoyed every moment. To me, education is not just about learning facts and passing exams, it is also about becoming a life-long learner. It is about using knowledge to improve one's life both personally and professionally. There are skills which need to be mastered and this is one important element of education. I also believe that education can improve one's enjoyment of life regardless of the occupation or field of study one pursues.I am especially proficient in the areas of essay writing and editing, proofreading, and the mechanics of grammar and usage. I have extensive experience in helping students prepare for standardized tests such as the SAT. I have also taught AP English and I am very familiar with the requirements of the AP Exam.
I'm Alex. I've lived in NYC for 7 years and currently live in Downtown Brooklyn. I work in marketing but have a strong background in Speech Language Pathology. I also make ceramics and practice improv, which I believe contribute to my dynamic approach to tutoring.I have a Bachelor of Science from New York University and a Master of Science in Speech Language Pathology from Brooklyn College. Prior to Graduate school I worked as a tutor for children between the ages of 7-12 focused on phonological awareness, reading comprehension, writing skills, and vocabulary. I taught college courses during my time at Brooklyn College in science, public speaking, and an overview of speech language pathology. I love teaching a variety of subject matter in creative ways as I believe true understanding comes when you are truly immersed in a topic. I really enjoy finding activities that encourage individuals to enjoy the tasks that are challenging them by incorporating favorite topics and games.I have experience working with individuals ages 0-99 years old. Through my graduate study I also worked closely with individuals with special needs. I understand that tutoring involves individualizing lesson plans because everyone learns differently. I love finding the methods that work best for my students and seeing the joy that comes from success in the classroom. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!I love teaching English as a second language. Learning a language is frustrating at times but it can also be a lot of fun. I believe the more applications you have with a language and the more engaged you are the better your understanding will be. There are so many creative ways to approach learning a new language and I love working together with my student to find the ways that make it the most enjoyable and effective. I believe the more applications you have with a language and the more engaged you are the better your understanding will be. There are so many creative ways to approach learning a new language and I love working together with my student to find the ways that make it the most enjoyable and effective.I would love to work with you to find ways that help you meet your goals! I think we can make it enjoyable as well :). I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, please do not hesitate to reach out!
I have been tutoring students of all ages for almost a decade. Working one on one and in small groups is something I am very comfortable with, and something I enjoy. I work with each student to find individual strategies to improve.
While we humans try to understand Nature, I believe, Math is the language we employ to efficiently decode the study (called science) of the wonders of Nature around us. I found this as the major magnet, to begin with, that attracted me to the subject of Mathematics. In addition, the joy of making our young ones understand the subject and positioning them to take advantage of future possibilities such knowledge offers is a priceless fulfillment for me. With these as my basic reasons for being an educator, it has always given me a tremendous satisfaction each time my explanation makes my students understand a math concept, the light lit up in their heads, and their eyes glow with that radiant confirmation of the knowledge they have newly acquired. I guess that is what all true educators live for judging from my experience within a couple of decades during which I have been involved in teaching mathematics.
I am highly dedicated to child development. I believe that all children can learn and children learn best through modeling and guided practice. The following are some of my qualifications.I currently hold a Master's degree in Childhood Special Education for student with learning disabilities, and a double BA from Brooklyn College in Childhood General Education and Psychology. I graduated with honors from both institutions. I have tutored a second grade student as part of the Hunter College Learning Lab. In this program, I was responsible for assessing and teaching a special needs student. I assessed the student using various methods, including the Qualitative Reading Inventory, and DIBELS. Based on the results of the assessments I designed a program to target the student's needs. I have also taught fifth grade for three months as a part of student teaching, as well as 2nd and 3rd grade for two years at a Yeshiva in Brooklyn. I have also taught as a substitute teacher for School Professionals. I am currently working for Lefferts Gardens Charter School as a 1st grade special education teacher. In these positions I am responsible for creating interactive lessons in English language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. In addition, I implemented positive reinforcement system to help with classroom management and reward good behavior. I am detail oriented and am proficient in Word, Power Point, Excel, and SmartBoard. I am currently certified to teach general and special education, grades 1-6.
My passion for math and reading started at a very young age, but I quickly understood these subjects aren't fun for everyone. I started tutoring my peers in elementary school, and went on to organize formal peer tutoring groups in middle and high school, to help bridge gaps between teachers' expectations and my peers' reality.I've used my lifelong passion for math and problem solving to obtain my Master's degree in Computer Science, but I know that without a solid background in math and reading, my advanced degree would have been difficult to achieve.I prefer students to understand, from their unique point of view, why 1+1=2, why x*y=z or why "knock" only has one 'k' sound. Kids have a lot going on in their academic and personal lives, so I take time to talk to my students, take a few steps back from the problem and understand how they're tackling the problem. I've found that this conversation facilitates my understanding of how the student learns, and lends to their deeper understanding of concepts to apply to future, independent problem solving.
I am an artist, mom, editorial professional, and tutor living in Brooklyn, NY.I graduated from Brooklyn College as a Magna Cum Laude with a double major in History and Political Science and a minor in Art (including Art History). I was passionate about the social sciences, seeking out additional coursework, as well as Comparative Literature and English courses. Later, I completed a pre-med curriculum (including Biology, Pre-Calculus, Physics, and two terms each of Introductory and Organic Chemistry). This led to one (unhappy) year at NYU Dental School.I have worked in publishing, as a proofreader, editorial assistant, production editor and computer graphic designer.Later, following time as a primary caregiver with my child, I became a per diem teacher. I developed an expertise and was sought out to help with my district's gifted program and filled in for maternity leaves with two 3rd grade classes. Helping students one-on-one was definitely my favorite part of teaching! I observed how, in the group environment of the classroom, a struggling student will float through the day. Given individual focus, he/she retained more material, creating important scaffolding in their efforts to catch up to current material.During this time, I also began to build my skills as an artist bolstered by select classes at several NYC-area art schools, and a scholarship/residency with the Manhattan Graphics Center. I’ve won competitions, participated in group shows, and created site-specific pieces in Brooklyn. Currently, I'm working with an online company painting detailed miniature pendants of beloved pets. I think about what I’ve gained from teaching and want to impart to others: the balance of developing confidence and seeking out challenges, building on the knowledge and experience in your "comfort zone."Currently, I’m working as a tutor and art teacher at an after school center in Brooklyn, for grades K-2. This is largely a "gifted’ group" and my work with them focuses on homework and enrichment, with some in-depth tutoring for students with specific issues. I’ve introduced the children to origami, and it’s been very exciting to aid and observe their development. We also create pop-up cutouts, paint and draw from observation, and build sculptural objects using clay and popsicle sticks.In addition to art, my interests include exercise, reading, and spending time with family and friends.
I have an undergraduate degree in mathematics (summa cum laude) from CUNY where I earned the prestigious Arthur M. Keller award for academic achievement in mathematics and science. My expertise is in Calculus, Probability, and Statistics. I worked for ten years as public librarian where I had the opportunity to tutor students of all ages and abilities in mathematics of all levels. Presently, I work full-time for a large non-profit organization in a management position where I combine technology and statistical analysis to make purchasing decisions as well as design efficient workflow procedures. I hope to put my experience and skills to good use helping your child achieve their potential while also developing an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics.
I completed my Bachelors and Masters degree at Cuny Brooklyn College. I received my Bachelors of Science in Mathematics , with a minor in Children Studies, followed by my Masters of Science in Education as a Middle Childhood Education Specialist in Mathematics. While working on my Masters degree, I began a non profit learning center designed to help underprivileged , struggling students in or around the Brownsville area in Brooklyn, New York work towards improve their grades in mathematics classes and state exams. I also did private tutoring on the side with elementary,middle and high school students, while working as a daycare assistant.As a public school teacher, I have had the pleasure with working with struggling students understand and practice concepts at various opening times in the day. Whether it is before school begins, on my lunch or after school, my students have full access to me.
Learning is a life long process but we can better equip our students for their journey.I am a Certified NYC English Educator (gr.7-12). I graduated from Brooklyn College with a BA in English Education and Philosophy. I have been studying for standardized tests and SATs since 3rd grade.I have taught various grades ranging from 2nd grade to 12th grade in Math and English (Reading and Writing ). I have done private in-home tutoring for about 4-5 years and in a group setting for about 2 years.
I graduated from high school at Fordham Preparatory School in 2010 and am currently taking a semester off before my final year at the Macaulay Honors College at CUNY Brooklyn. I am working towards two bachelors degrees: a BFA in Creative Writing and a BA in Psychology.My first tutoring experience was in my senior year of high school during which I tutored juniors who wanted extra help preparing for the AP Language and Composition exam, which I had taken the previous year. In college I have helped students struggling with general essay-writing and specific English courses—mainly writing-intensive courses but in some cases literature classes as well. I have tutored students, including some non-native speakers, who struggled with essay-writing and grammar, syntax, and usage issues.My favorite subject to tutor was definitely AP Language and Composition mostly because of my interest in the subject itself. A lot of students know how to write a good essay but really struggle with this particular AP material because it requires you to take a step back and dissect the specific methods and structures at play in a given passage presented at random. Being able to put one's finger on the precise rhetorical methods that go into a strong piece of writing is really an enlightening experience.As far as my personal tutoring style, I prefer to provide students with the guidance and practice necessary to understand each individual facet of a given subject until they feel completely comfortable with the material on their own. I find it very important to avoid overwhelming students with the big picture of something like an SAT or AP exam and prefer to break down the material into manageable pieces which, once mastered, will allow the student to excel at the subject as a whole.Besides my academic pursuits, I enjoy going to shows for local bands in Manhattan and Brooklyn, and I participate in a bi-monthly poetry reading presented by a group with whom I workshop my personal writing projects. I spend a decent amount of time reading poetry and fiction when left to my own devices, but I also have a weakness for television and may just as likely be found catching up on reality shows.
I have a holistic view in terms of tutoring and teaching. All students learn in different ways such as visually, kinetically, auditorily, and other ways. I am committed to finding the best way to help my student learn the material even if it means going above and beyond the call of duty.Personally, I am a Psychology and Gender Studies double major graduating in May 2017. After that, I will be attending a masters program in mental health counseling and eventually going on to get my doctorate in clinical psychology.My skills include time management, test-taking skills, writing aid, reading comprehension, verbal and reading skills, and test preparation.
I am currently a student at Macaulay Honors at Brooklyn College, part of the BAMD Program. Teaching has always been a favorite past time of mine, and I tend to excel in science and writing classes. My goal is to help everyone I can with these subjects and more!
I hold a BA from UMass Amherst in Political Economy and MS from Brooklyn College in Mathematics Education, both summa cum laude. I am currently attending NYU Wagner, working on my Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in Education Policy.I have been a NYC DOE math teacher for the past four years, three years as a 6th- 8th grade math teacher and my last year teaching Algebra, Geometry/Trig and Health. I have taught classes ranging from advance placement to remedial, including CCT and ESL. I absolutely believe that every student can succeed in math. My approach to teaching/tutoring is building confidence through math. Often times, I have students who say they "don't get it." However, I show them they may not get the whole picture yet, but they do have an understanding of some. And by showing them tangible steps they can use time and again, students see they can "get it". Those "ah-ha" moments are not only building blocks in their skills, but more importantly, reinforcing who they are and their abilities.For my students who already have confidence in their math ability, it is about pushing them to the next level. Math is about problem solving, puzzles and thinking outside the box. By presenting problems within their skillset but slightly beyond their experience, it allows for the imaginary side of math to emerge while preparing them to approach a new problem with confidence.As the Math Department Head of my school, I have an intricate understanding of math standards for 6th- 12th grade, as well as the new Common Core Standards being piloted through NYC this year. This knowledge paired with my classroom understanding has been key to not only preparing my students for their current grade but really hone in what knowledge they will really need for the next sequential math classes. Recognized as a DOE Honors Teacher, I have prepared students for various standardized test, Regents, AP and SATs with great results. Grading the DOE math exams for 3-8th grade, Algebra and Math A/B Regents has given me the knowledge as to what the state looks for as well.Math has always been my favorite subject. It pains me when a student says they hate math because it usually means they encountered a past teacher who cared more about "the right answer" then the multiple approaches to understanding the answer.
I am a high school math teacher in a private school in Brooklyn, NY. I have a true passion for math and genuinely enjoy helping students. I have been tutoring for two years on a part time basis.I have a flexible schedule and want to see my students reach their academic goals.
As a teacher, my primary objective is to create a safe and inclusive learning environment where all students feel valued and supported. I believe that every student has unique strengths and challenges, and it is my responsibility as a teacher to identify and address these individual needs
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."~ Albert Einstein
I want to be the teacher who makes a difference in your child's life. Over my 30 years of teaching and tutoring grades one through eight in reading and math, I have developed strategies, methods, and "tricks" to help students learn and remember the academic skills that they need to be successful. My love to teach + patience + teaching experience = the perfect tutor for your child and you. If your child needs enrichment or remediation, it would be my pleasure to work with him/her and hear those words that always make me smile, "That's it? That's easy!" Just as it is your goal, it is also my goal for your child to make progress and feel more comfortable and confident in school.
I grew up in Hawaii but left the beaches to attend Boston College. In 2004 I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing with a Mathematics minor, and moved to New York City to work as a high school math teacher.While teaching math full time in the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT Prep, I also attended graduate school at night at Brooklyn College and earned my Master's degree in 2007 with a focus on Math Education.I took a break from teaching to join Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a Christian missions organization, and traveled to Rwanda on a mission trip before returning to the east coast to work as a tutor. I served as the main math tutor at an education center in New Jersey for two years, helping students with their school work and aiding them in preparation for the SAT and other standardized tests including the ACT, SAT II, ISEE and SSAT.While working as a tutor I also authored a memoir based upon my time in Rwanda and in 2011 self-published a book entitled, "A Remnant in Rwanda."I love working with youth and teaching them the value of education, critical thinking, and living life for a great purpose. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, movies, everything Apple, and working out.
I'm currently a part of the BA-MD medical program with SUNY Downstate. I've been tutoring students for over 5 years for a wide range of topics, including the ACT, the SAT, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, Essay Writing, and AP Psychology. I enjoy working with a variety of students, ages 8-20. In terms of my clients, I like working with dedicated, passionate students who are willing to put in the work to achieve their goals. For me, tutoring is about working with a student until they are able to achieve their goal, and even beyond that so that they have the confidence to continue pursuing their dreams. I'm very patient, calm, and thorough when covering a subject, and I truly enjoy watching my students transform into confident, knowledgeable people ready to tackle anything before them. Besides tutoring, I enjoy traveling, reading, and cooking. I'm also part of a debate team at my college, and enjoy public speaking activities.
I am currently in Graduate School completing a dual degree MD/PhD program in Neuroscience at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. I am a graduate of the Brooklyn College BA-MD program, a program that guides students directly into medical school at SUNY Downstate. I have taught Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at various levels ranging from high school to college and graduate levels, and currently teach numerous classes in my medical school. I have succeeded academically due to my personal philosophy on education: I value complete understanding of material above all else. I am a continuous learner and I strive to teach that to my students. Once a subject is truly understood, tests will be easy, and great grades will follow. With this mindset, I have become talented at understanding where a student's problems with subject matter lie, mainly because I have probably experienced the same issues when I started learning these subjects. Now, I feel confident in passing on my knowledge to other people, and I feel that my last seven years of teaching demonstrate my ability to do so.
I am a recently retired teacher with over 30 years of classroom experience. I have taught Reading at every level from Pre-K to College Prep. Additionally, I have helped prepare students for most NY State Regents Exams. My Certifications include Permanent NY State Cert. in Spec. Ed K-12, Social Studies 7-12, and four NY City Licenses in a variety of Subjects. Also, I am a published writer and have been nominated for an award by a Hamptons magazine. Your student's success and the self esteem it brings are both very important to me.
In my opinion, the role of a teacher goes beyond educating the students. The different roles teachers have prepare students for life and the career they choose. I believe my role as a teacher is to be the manager, the planner, observer, rapport builder, observer of signs of trouble, build a warm environment, and be a positive role model.
I am a graduate of the Chungbuk national University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Korean Language and Literacy. I also graduated from Brooklyn college in NYC. I received master degree in Early Childhood Education and Students with Disabilities. I am a special education teacher in NYC. As my first language is Korean as well as I majored Korean language, I have been taught Korean at Korean language school over 10 years to non-Korean population. My experiences in teaching Korean language have been conducted from preschooler to adults. I believe my various experience in ages could be fitted any ages in any settings.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in physical education. Very optimistic and patient educator here to help you! My specialty is in elementary school science and health and nutritional sciences.
Having worked as a teacher for ten years in the New York City public school system, I have many years of specific training that will allow me to adapt to any learning need or style. I have three licenses in English Language Arts (K-12), Information Sciences (K-12), and Literacy (K-12). I have also been designated as the the official English Regents, Common Core, and SAT prep teacher at my high school. I have a warm and open style that makes learning not so painful!
There's no limit to what you can learn! Why does math and science feel so complicated? - Since I started tutoring remotely in 2021, I have noticed from my students this is "the" question they want answered. Historically, mathematics evolved out of necessity. They were developed to simplify and to record essential financial and astronomical information. In my view, math still feels complicated today because the culture surrounding it is still evolving - despite unprecedented access to technology and educational content. One practical way to address this disengagement is to make math personal. For me, this means offering alternative interpretations, encouraging discussion, and treating math as a language to be understood. Then, the procedures you learn and memorize in class will make sense. My methods help answer "why do I need to know this"?
Hey there! My name is Hamza, and I studying in the BA/MD program, and Macaulay Honors College at Brooklyn College.

MA in History and BA in Psychology, with 3 years as a writing tutor and 2 years as a philosophy tutor at Brooklyn College. I tutor U.S. History, World History, Big History, social studies, writing, ESL, philosophy, and psychology. I adapt to what works for you, instructional or conversational, and help you understand facts and ideas, build strong papers, and grasp the bigger picture.
My tutoring journey began shortly after cracking the 99th percentile on the SAT as a high school senior. This was the start of what has now been an 8 year journey! I have worked with 50+ students, mostly in the areas of math, science and standardized testing. After college, I spent two years working as a biology teacher at a top charter school in NYC where my classes ranked #1 by test results. I left teaching to pursue a role as a financial analyst, but I have maintained a full roster of 1-1 private students since. I truly love working with students to help them achieve more than they (and their parents) thought possible. Let's get in touch to discuss how we can make your son/daughter a top performing student. Here are my areas of expertise: -SAT/ACT -Math (algebra, geometry, trig, stats, precalc, calculus) -Science (biology, chemistry, physics) -AP exams -SHSAT, ISEE, TACHS, HSPT -NYS Regents exams
I love to tutor students because I like to see the joy on their faces when they succeed in the classes they are taking. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry from CUNY Brooklyn College and a Masters degree in Public Health from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. My specialty areas include science from elementary school to undergraduate school. I can teach all levels of chemistry courses, whether its high school or college level, I am your gal. I am also very proficient in teaching math courses from Algebra 1 to Calculus 1. Since I have an MPH degree I am very good at editing papers, MLA formats, thesis statements, even helping students finish paper from start to finish.My teaching method is catered to every students strength and weaknesses. I help the student understand the problem they are struggling with, show them what tools or concepts they need to know to solve the problem, and work with them to solve some problems so they are confident in their abilities. I also do mock test reviews where we (the student and I) think of what questions a teacher may ask and then we practice those problems, this helps the student settle their nerves.Aside from studies I love to do outdoor activities such as hiking trails, playing tennis, and mini golf just to name a few.
I have a background both in the business world, where I founded and operated my own retail businesses for many years, and the educational world, where I teach History and Civics. I also have a background in theater, where I continue to work as an actor and director.I love history. To me, history is far more than a random collection of names and dates, but rather a study of human ideas and achievements. Math teaches you to think logically, science to think analytically, language arts to expand your thinking beyond our own time and space, but history teaches you to think for yourself. Today, too many people get their information from internet headlines, or talking heads on television, or from their families or friends, and rarely take the time to really understand the world. With such an information overload, who are we to believe? The only way is to develop a full background, with multiple viewpoints, and then to develop one's own opinions. My approach is to study history from a conceptual framework, rather than chronological, to fully understand how the ideas of other times laid the foundations for our ongoing society today.
I'm currently a high school chemistry teacher, certified in Earth and Environmental Science, and I'm super excited to support in your academic needs!
