Let's be patient, persistent, pause, and perform better and better.I've been happy to help dozens of students with math and physics, and am immediately prepared to help you with arithmetic, algebra, basic geometry, trigonometry, introductory calculus and introductory university physics.I'll be reviewing and adding subjects that I can immediately aid.Good luck.

I graduated from Widener University in the spring of 2018. I received my Bachelor of Science in Physics with minors in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. As an undergrad I worked as a math tutor through Widener University's Department of Mathematics. I also tutored several chemistry, physics, and engineering courses. I will be starting a master's program in physics at the City College of New York this fall.

While going to college I always had an interest in science and math. I enjoy imparting the Math and science knowledge to students who did not understand the subject as well as I did. I got a job as a tutor during my first year in college and have continued to tutor because I realized that I loved tutoring and I like to help people achieve their goals.Over the years while working in various capacities such as a network engineer, a process engineer and an environmental engineer I always tried to devote time to helping students. I tutored high school students, college students and adult learners. I feel a sense of accomplishment when my students do well in the subject area that we are working on together.

I'm a 25 year old based in NYC. I'm currently an adjunct instructor for the capstone biodesign course for the Master's in Translational Medicine graduate program at the City College of New York. I have experience tutoring through Olympia Prep, an Oklahoma City-based college test prep company, as well as teaching and mentoring experience as an MTM fellow and instructor for the master's program I attended. I graduated with a Master's in Translational Medicine from the City College of New York in Fall 2020 and a Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering with a focus in biotechnology from the University of Oklahoma in Spring 2018. I previously worked as an associate product manager with a mental health technology startup and before that as a research technician at EyeCRO, a pharmaceutical company based in Oklahoma City. I really enjoy helping students out and serving as a personable, easygoing mentor. Outside of that, I love music and DJing/producing, building community and hosting events, being involved in justice activism, going to concerts, keeping up with the latest in art and fashion, and experiencing new cultures through traveling.

Hi, I'm Tara! I am an undergraduate student at the Sophie Davis School of Biomedical Education where I am studying to become a physician. I love math and am willing to help any student with any problem. I have tutored students (from elementary school all the way to senior year of college) for a copious amount of years. My goal is for the students to grasp a good understanding of the subjects that they seek help for, and to be successful with their future endeavors.Besides from learning, I also enjoy music, performing, and languages! I play 3 instruments (violin, guitar and the uke) and have performed in theatrical shows for 5 years. I also have an interest in languages and am minoring in french!I hope we can work together and learn some math!

As a medical student at the CUNY School of Medicine and a Full IB Diploma recipient of Yonkers High School, I have always found an affection for the learning community. As an older sister of two younger brothers, I have grown up tutoring and helping my brothers in all subjects focusing especially on English, Mathematics, and the Sciences. My passion for the medical sciences, chemistry, and biology led me to pursue a bachelor's degree in biomedical sciences and tutor in subjects such as biochemistry, immunology, virology as well as standardized exams like SATs and ACTs as well as IB Exams. My students have always appreciated my patience and dedication to helping them succeed and achieve their goals.

Hi, I am currently a 3rd year Ph.D. student in Mathematical Modeling in NY. I have a B.S in pure mathematics and a M.S in Applied and Computational Math. My friends say that they love my energy. I enjoy what I do or play and those things are mathematics and soccer.

As a Teacher knowledgeable of the needs of Students With Disabilities, my duty has been to ensure the success of all students under my charge. I've been very adamant about advocating for better placement, accommodation, and services for all students, as SPED pedagogy is not only beneficial to SPED students, but general students as a whole. I have been mindful of the 60/40 Integrated Co-Teaching (ICT) compliance compositions, Individualized Education Plan (IEP) setting compliance, and above all, delivery of services by a SPED instructor.

Hello Scholars and dedicated parents of scholars! My name is Whitney and I am a full time English tutor. I taught AP Language and Composition for 3 years, English III for 2 years, Composition I (for college credit) English IV for one year. I have my Bachelors in English with a concentration in literature from CUNY City College and I'm currently working on a Master of Arts Degree in Creative Writing and Literature at Harvard. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and writing, cooking, and taking my rambunctious pup to the park. When I was in 11th grade, I struggled so much in English class so I know what it's like. I look forward to being able to help you reach your ELA goals!

I am a graduate of CUNY City College. I received my bachelors in Chemical Engineering, with minors in mathematics and chemistry. I have been a tutor/mentor for the past 10yrs. I am passionate about being able to guide/teach students in STEM and walk through different fundamentals- to enhance their learning journey. I remember the joy I felt when a concept clicked in my mind while discussing with my mentors. I want to share similar experiences with my students in this platform. I look forward to discussing and assisting students identify their problem areas and work towards bridging them.

I am a graduate student at City College where I am getting certified to teach ENL and 7-12 Math. I love working with students of all ages, and from a multitude of backgrounds. A few years ago, I lived in Istanbul, Turkey for a year and taught math & English to 1st and 2nd grade students. In my spare time I also tutored younger students and adults. I currently tutor a range of students from kindergarten to adults in math & reading and love tutoring more and more everyday. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, swimming, cooking and traveling.

My love for English began in my childhood reading Tony Hillerman, R.L. Stine, and Mary Higgins Clark. At the High School of Fashion Industries, my English class read Macbeth - "You should be women, and yet your beards forbid me to interpret that you are so..." My English teacher, Dr. Bobo, would call me to read with her, and we intertwined together like in a dance. No other student reached my enthusiasm. I am a graduate of Hunter College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film and English. I also graduated from City College with an M.S. in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). After graduation, I began to teach ESL as an Adjunct Instructor in Canal Street. Languages are amazing because they are pieces (letters, sound, words) that students need to put together to use in practice. I love teaching pronunciation, reading, writing, and listening. With students, I am patient and answer all their questions. To have fun, I use games, you tube, songs, and movies. Learning English or improving someone's English definitely improves a student's quality of life in America.

My interest in mathematics dates back to my years in middle school and high school, where I excelled in Mathematics. My mother was a high school math teacher so I was naturally inclined to the love of math. In college I decided to go into a more challenging field other than math, and so I decided to major in computer engineering. I am still in the process of achieving my bachelor's degree in engineering, and I also hope to achieve a minor degree in mathematics, which after my undergraduate level, I will go into graduate level to pursue mathematics. I like to tutor students in various aspect of mathematics because, I just like them, had someone in my early life help me understand that mathematics isn't something to be afraid of but rather an impressing way of expressing one's self and helping solve daily life problems.

I graduated from CUNY City College’s Biochemistry program with honors in liberal arts and science research. As a freshman, I began workshop leading in Introductory Chemistry courses and, soon thereafter, progressed to Organic, Quantitative and Thermodynamic Chemistry.I enjoyed my interaction with the students so much that, after graduating, I decided to adjunct lecture at a community college. There, I welcomed the exciting challenge of engaging adult learners in an introductory biology course with labs. Recently, I have garnered some extensive private experience tutoring middle to high-school age students in Algebra, Geometry, ELA, Chemistry and Biology, as an independent contractor for a couple of companies.I look forward to working with you to achieve the success to which you aspire and are capable!

I am a recent master student from Columbia university. I graduated with a Masters in International Affairs. I have worked at the United Nations, European Parliament, and for a State Senator. My passion is political science and history. I am eager to help students develop their writing skills while deepening their understanding of history.

I passionately teach to make an exceptional difference in my students' lives. My 15 years of teaching experience with a diverse population of all ages and levels in English and Spanish enables me to make success attainable for each student. My tutoring sessions are tailored to fit each individual's needs and goals. I enjoy planning and implementing content-based, result-oriented, engaging instruction by blending creative arts and disciplines that inspire each student to learn, grow and achieve.

I am a current civil engineering student at City College focusing on environmental engineering. I am a hard working and patient tutor who works with students from elementary to high school. I tutor all english related subjects as well as algebra 1. I have previous experience working at Khan's Tutorial as well as Child Center of NY.

I am a young educator who seeks to blend both creativity and structure into an effective teaching practice. I work to inspire children and adolescents to explore what they are taught and to find meaning through the literature they read. I try to mold my teaching styles and strategies around the students I interact with to make them feel comfortable in our shared learning environment so that they can get the most out of our time together.

I am a second year in the Sophie Davis Program for Biomedical Education. I hold an Associates Degree from Bard College, which I obtained while still in high school. As a pre-medical student, I have a deep love for the sciences but I also love learning new things. My favorite subject to tutor would be Spanish but I am also proficient in English, Writing, Biology, and Algebra. I have been tutoring for four years and have experience tutoring elementary to high school students. I believe that when tutoring I should allow students to explain their confusion so that we can work together towards the advancement of their knowledge. Just lecturing or telling you the answer isn't enough! Outside of school, I love cooking, exercising, reading, doing research, and volunteering.

My Name is Tiana Green. I have two Master's Degree, Bank Street College of Education in Math Leadership and Rutger's University in Master's in Public Administration. I have been an educator for 11 years as an elementary teacher. I have taught grades 1-6, primarily working with upper elementary as a mathematics teacher. I have a love for teaching mathematics, and this year I will be an instructional math coach at my school.I teach because I feel as if it is something I was meant to do. Interacting with students day to day and learning what makes them tick, what inspires them, what their struggles may be, and what truly motivates them is one of the most interesting and rewarding jobs there is. Plus, I get to teach one of the best subjects: math! I love helping kids learn math in different ways and I especially enjoy being a part of building their math confidence.

After graduating in 2011 from the City College of New York, I worked as a consultant for Dr. Dewey who then recruited me from Brookhaven National Lab to the Feinstein institutes for Medical Research. That year, I entered the Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell, and joined the inaugural class as one of three PhD students of the new medical school.My dissertation project interrogated pre-clinical sex differences in the metabolic neural patterns associated with opioid pain management using18-fludeoxyglucose (18FDG) and micro positron emission tomography (MicroPET). I was able to show that distinct metabolic patterns of pain were sex-specific, and confirmed that an animal model could be useful in revealing distinct metabolic indicators of opioid withdrawal and improve the efficacy of therapeutic intervention.As a Research Scientist at the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, I oversee operations of the MicroPET imaging facility as part of the Center for Neurosciences. I have recentl studies include studies of the extracellular cold-inducible RNA-binding protein, (CIRP-/-) and wild type (WT) mice, before and after exposure to binge-alcohol levels. By quantifying glucose metabolism with 18FDG and MicroPET, and using brain-mapping analysis of the imaging data, we can determine if CIRP plays a role in alcohol-induced cognitive impairment. I have served as mentor to many undergraduate and some high school students, and very much enjoy sharing my knowledge base with those that enjoy science.

With such a high demand for STEM in today's marketplace, there's a shortage of STEM education in many NYC public schools. My goal is to make a motivational impact on the minds of our youth in the same way I was motivated from high school onto college.In 2017, I graduated from the City College of New York with a B.S. in Biomedical Sciences and have since started pursuing my M.D. at the CUNY School of Medicine.I first began tutoring in high school through the MSPinNYC2 program, which is where I first discovered my passion to help others.Over the last few years, I've had multiple teaching and tutoring opportunities with students ranging from first grade to college, in both one-on-one and group settings. My main focus lies in biology, chemistry, and math. This fuels my belief that all students have the ability to understand and master STEM related topics!

Resourceful, versatile, and dedicated educator with 10 years of experience teaching in adult education and 10 years of experience doing one on one tutoring to elementary and middle school students in multiple subjects. Skilled at educating and empowering students of all levels and backgrounds. I am extremely passionate about teaching and tutoring, I find the position personally satisfying and beneficial to the students I work with. I am a great communicator and listener, and have the ability to understand a student's needs. Education is a passion of mine and creating a safe, friendly and productive environment for my students to learn is a top priority. I am passionate about helping students come to love the act of learning, and I would cherish the opportunity to transform the way your students view the various academic subjects..

I earned a Master's of Science degree in Education from CUNY, City College of New York.I have extensive teaching and tutoring experience as a former New York City Teaching Fellow, where I worked as a Special Educator for grades 1 - 5 in the NYCDOE.After graduation, I tutored for Club Z for grades 5 - 7 in ELA, Writing and Math, before accepting a position as the program chair at Globe Institute of Technology's Associate degree program in Fashion Merchandising and Marketing Management. I am currently a Substitute Teacher mainly in secondaryschool settings for a wide variety of subjects (ranging from Robotics to Art).I really enjoy tutoring English Language Arts, Math and Science because students are typically most challenged by these subjects.My tutoring style is differentiated and aligned with the students learning style and interests. In my pedagogical experience, I have found project-based teaching methodologies to be most effective.I believe that these methods are successful with students because it customizes instruction. Once students can directly filter instruction through their own ambition, application follows and skills are developed as the final result. Student inspiration is the key to engagement and creates the bridge between concept to application in the academic process.My personal interests stem from my first career in the fashion industry. I enjoy studying textiles and exploring color through art, painting and design. These hobbies strongly indicate my own learning style, as a visual learner. Research shows that most learners are visual as well so I always make visual references available, to reinforce the materials that I share. It is a highly effective strategy and my not so secret weapon. I look forward to working with students and supporting their learning. I truly believe that education is a key that unlocks dreams!

Before I began student teaching at P.S 149Q, I had doubts about teaching full-time. Not because I didn't like teaching, but because I doubted how effective I would be as an educator. Teachers' whom I've met throughout my journey had always described their jobs as a battlefield, and either ended their days' in victory or defeat. I've seen more defeated teachers than I want to admit, and could not help but feel insecure about my own abilities to make a difference. My mom said once that teaching was like performing surgery, explaining that I had the potential to shape a child's life. As I looked into my students' eyes during my first day of student teaching, I remembered her words of wisdom, and asked myself, "Can I do that?"I found the answer to that question midway through my student teaching. A student of mine was struggling immensely. My CT and I both knew he needed extensive one-on-one guidance; he seemed aware of that too. As I took him to the back of the room to help him with his math assignment, he had a dejected look on his face. I smiled at him and attempted to make him laugh, to no avail. His shame was like a leak, and it was bleeding from his body. Before I had a chance to say anything, he muttered, "I can't do this. I'm not learning." It wasn't said with heat, only miserable acceptance. I felt it then- a spark of defiance coursing through my body, and I knew that I couldn't let him continue believing that about himself. I turned his chair to face me, and I took his hands in mine. "Anthony," I said, "you have the ability to learn just like everyone else." He shook his head in disagreement. I nodded in return, smiling confidently. "Yes, you can," I continued, "your brain just learns differently from us." He looked at me then, and even though doubt still clouded his eyes, I also saw a glimmer of hope. "Common, lets work together to figure these questions out," I whispered enthusiastically.One period later, my desk indeed looked like a battlefield- manipulatives and eraser bits covered my entire desk; I was mentally exhausted. But the worksheet was complete, and Anthony was smiling a million dollar smile. "You did it, Anthony!" I said. He nodded and laughed giddily, clapping his hands. My heart burst with the joy and satisfaction of being able to restore Anthony's confidence, of giving him the hope to march onwards in his struggle to learn. That day I learned what teaching was all about- giving students the confidence that they can learn. Anthony didn't know this, but he also helped me realize that I wanted to continue doing that as an educator. While I finished student teaching and am still nervous, I am surer than ever that I picked the right career for myself. Anthony and I won that battle, and I anticipate many more victories to come.

I am passionate about teaching math to high schoolers. My specialty is being able to connect Mathematical concepts to real world and simplifying complex problems in order for the students to feel confident with their math knowledge.

My teaching interests include reading comprehension, social studies, science. I have created some great test taking strategies for students of all ages and abilities.As a Special Education Teacher I understand the many challenges that a student will face when having difficulty with a particular skill or a subject that they are learning for the first time.I really enjoy seeing my students reach their potential both in and out of the classroom environment.

I am a mechanical engineering student who will graduate from The City College of New York this December. I hope to pursue a career in the energy industry once I graduate. I believe that this industry is the key in helping improve our environment for future generations and I hope to be involved in its effort to expand technologies in renewable energy.As an engineering student, I learned that knowing the right answer is not necessarily the most important thing. It is more important to learn how to solve a problem. When I encounter a problem that seems impossible, instead of simply giving up, I go back to my basics. Instead of focusing on what I do not know, I look at what information is given to me. I also look at the problem from a different angle to see if it is another way to solve the problem.I hope to teach students that despite how challenging a problem may appear, they shouldn't feel discouraged. They should know that there is always a way to solve it.

I hold a B.A. in Communication from the College of Mount Saint Vincent and I am completing an M.A. in The Study of the Americas from The City College of New York. I'm passionate about the importance of the liberal arts in education and my tutoring strengths include all areas of English and Spanish, as well as US and Latin American history. I have more than 10 years of teaching experience, including 3 in Mexico, and there's nothing else I'd rather be doing. I currently teach ESOL as an adjunct at Westchester Community College and Borough of Manhattan Community College.

I'm a multi-passionate artist, travel junkie, & life enthusiast capturing my creative journey- one pencil mark, painterly brushstroke, and photo at a time. As a mixed media visual artist from the Bronx, I have always loved exploring the possibilities of different mediums and techniques (e.g. micron black ink pens, charcoal, pastels, magazine strips, oil and watercolor paints). Art has always been my passion since my adoption and experiences in the foster care system. I take ideas hostage by scribbling or sketching them anywhere, let my ideas float around in my noggin and interact with whatever is already brewing for creative flow. In the past few years, I've incorporated collage and altered book making with my existing interests in topics such as nature, personal identity, and African American and Hispanic imagery.

Hi! My name is Jackie and I'm in law school. I studied long and hard for the ACT many years ago and learned from my mistakes. I want to help you minimize the amount of time you need to study by adapting effective targeted strategies for grammar and reading questions.

I am current student pursuing a career in Biomedical Engineering. I graduated Nassau Community College as a Summa Cum Laude with a 3.94 GPA with an Associates in Science. I am currently working on earning my Bachelors in Biomedical Engineering at City College of New York where I currently have a 3.90 GPA. I tutor Algebra 1, Algebra 2, and Calculus 2. My favorite one to teach is algebra because I believe it is the foundation where everything comes from. I am just happy to be able to help other students better understand math and hopefully help them see that it is not just random numbers. As an aspiring engineer, I see applications of mathematics on the daily and I would love to share the knowledge that I have received with fellow students.

Tutoring ServicesCertified Special Education Teacher/ Trained in Orton-GillinghamTarget grades: Pre-Kindergarten to 6I am an elementary school teacher with 20 years of experience. I have great success in helping children who struggle with learning to read and with understanding grade level math concepts. My approach focuses on addressing the specific needs of each child. I begin with detailed assessments and then I create a plan that targets their needs. Throughout the tutoring sessions assessments are given to monitor progress.

I graduated from CUNY New York City College of Technology with a B. Tech and later went on to receive a Masters in Human Resources and Adult Education. I am passionate about helping people of all ages uncover their own ways of learning. I believe that everyone can learn with the right level of support and care. I have spent the last 20 years coaching, teaching or tutoring people on time management, work management, overcoming procrastination, learning new tools and learning to communicate more effectively. I'm a problem solver by nature, so even if you don't know exactly what you need, I can help you figure that out!

Each and every student is unique. I do not teach all my students the same way. I teach each student based on their needs and his or her learning style. I reward my students for good work, and I encourage them when they are struggling. I make learning fun, challenging and interactive. Majority of my students start to see improvement within the first few weeks. I am patient and passionate about tutoring, and I waste no time in helping my students to become confident and bold. I will do whatever it takes to make sure that my student is confident in the subject area. It is my duty to make sure that my students own their materials. As a tutor, I dedicate my time to molding my students intellectually and personally. My students improve drastically within the first few weeks of me tutoring them. You will not be sorry for hiring me: this is can promise.

As a bilingual teacher for students with disabilities, I believe that I can make a great impact on their lives by using techniques that can only achieve confidence and create hope in them in order to learn new skills. It is important that students trust and know that educators care about them and can connect with students by learning about their customs and culture. This will allow students to become more comfortable with learning a new language and not give up when mistakes are made.Most of the students that come to my class have multiple disabilities and they do not speak or understand the English language. At times this affects their behavior because they refuse to learn the language either because they are embarrassed for making mistakes or they do not understand the importance of the learning the language for their professional life. As an educator, my responsibility is to connect with them and show them that it is okay to make mistakes because that is how they will learn and achieve success. Teachers need to always improve their teaching techniques and be open to learn from students because what might be work for one student may not work for the other student. It would be an honor to become part of Varsity Tutors.

I am Biomedical engineering undergraduate in my senior year at City College of New York (CCNY). As a biomedical engineering student, I have expertise in science and mathematic courses. I have an extensive teaching experience of over 8 years. I have tutored physics, chemistry, biology, and maths to college students for three years. I also have experience in tutoring science and mathematics to high school students and lower grades. All my students love me because as a student, I understand the struggle of students and make them feel like I am one of their own. Through real life examples, illustrations, and humor, I make my teaching more intuitive and entertaining for my students. During my college tutoring I had experiences where students said they will take specific courses only if I tutor them those courses.Throughout my tutoring experience, physics has been my most favorite subject. Many college students fear physics which gives me a challenge to make it interesting as well as easy for them. Biology, chemistry, and math are my second favorite subjects because I use them every day in our Cardiovascular Research Lab at CCNY. Like any students, engineering students have to deal with lot of stress on daily basis. To get over these stresses, I watch TV shows, do light workouts, and try a variety of restaurants.

Hey there! I am a programmer, writer, computer technician, and poet originally from Ghana, West Africa. I'm in my second year of college and pursuing a BS in Computer Science at the City College of New York. I have taken numerous college classes since high school such as Calculus, European History, and Physics. Additionally, I have completed a Data Strucutres and Programming course with a grade in the A range. I have been able to excel in these courses, by using online study tools such as videos and developing effective routines. I understand how frustrating it feels to spend so much time struggling to learn a topic and I also know how applying the right strategies to learning can make all the difference. For example, strategies such as close question analyzation can help students to mentally digest complex problems and help them assess the tools they can use to solve them.I look forward to helping all students to achieve more than they imagined and to develop the cognitive skills needed to succeed in the face of new challenges. Since my second year in high school, I have always searched out for opportunities to help others succeed in their courses. In my second year, I joined a club that assisted middle school students in preparing for their state exams. By means of persistence and effective studying techniques and continual practice, I assisted students to successfully complete both their Math and English state exams. Most recently, in 2019, I participated in a STEM summer program where I assisted middle school students to apply basic engineering principles such as prototyping to build various cardboard structures powered by Arduino circuit boards. I tirelessly worked to help all of them complete their projects and patiently worked with the needs of each student Furthermore, I assisted them in improving their critical thinking and problem-solving skills in order to effectively analyze problems and develop solutions to problems that they would encounter. I encouraged them to use the plethora of resources that are on the Internet to increase their knowledge. All these tactics enabled all 15 students I worked with to successfully demo their final projects.Currently, I am utilizing online resources to communicate with and assist students in math subjects such as Algebra and Calculus in programming languages such as C++ and even Middle School subjects. The students I work with have been able to successfully complete homework assignments and prepare for exams. I give each student an opportunity to assess their own knowledge first and then assist them, by means of questions and reasoning, to improve and master their coursework and gain skills. Helping students to successfully master concepts in their courses is certainly my top priority. I will work vigorously and effectively to help the students I tutor to achieve their highest However, this is not my only goal. I want to empower all my students to use all the tools and resources that are at their disposal to excel in whatever endeavor they take on. For example, when I work with a student on a problem I will not only help them understand and solve the problem at hand but I will teach them the techniques and strategies to solve similar problems, strategies such as problem deconstruction and examination. Truly, I want my students not only to reach for the stars but to get there and strive even farther.

I have been an educator for 10 years in both the NYC and Miami metropolitan areas and can honestly say I love what I do. After graduating from NYU as an undergraduate, I received my master's degree in education from CUNY City College as I knew from a young age that I wanted to pursue a career in education. With many years of experience in and out of the classroom, I have seen firsthand how students learn differently and how important it is to meet each student where they are at. Most importantly, learning should be fun and I love to use music and art as tools to make any lesson more engaging. I am patient and understanding and will always make sure to listen to every question asked. My goal is to ensure that you feel confident and comfortable with the material at hand and will not continue on with any instruction until we are on the same page. I truly believe that all questions are great questions and I welcome all curious and inquisitive minds! I look forward to meeting you!

I am currently a creative writing major at The City College of New York (CCNY) and an aspiring poet, novelist, and playwright.I graduated from the College of Southern Nevada (CSN) with an Associate of Arts in Creative Writing with High Honors, and while earning my degree, I was the Vice President of CSN's Creative Writing Club and part of their editorial board for their literary and visual arts journal: Neon Dreams. I am also the winner of Steiner's Emerging Voices Scholarship for poetry and Neon Dreams' Monthly Writing Contest for poetry at CSN and the Goodman Fund Poetry Award at CCNY.Before earning my degree at CSN, I tutored students in English and math for the "No Child Left Behind" act which, in fact, had inspired me to go back to school and receive a formal education. Reading and writing are my passions, and I believe that anyone can find the joys of learning with the right attitude and proper motivation which is why I decided to get back into tutoring students.Apart from academia, I enjoy reading and writing (of course), listening to music, watching Broadway musicals and plays, exploring the city and, occasionally, revisiting old video games from my childhood.
