Award-Winning Tutors from CUNY Hunter College

If you're reading this, it is probably because you want to learn a little more about my personality and credentials. In short, I am an affable, non-judgmental teacher, and am broadly qualified to tutor everything from basic literacy, to specialized test-prep, to college-level composition. I have almost a decade's worth of experience teaching and tutoring for the verbal sections of the English Regents, SAT, ACT, AP Language, and AP Literature exams, and served as an undergraduate at the Georgetown University Writing Center. Additionally, I enjoy helping students with their college admissions essays, and have found that there is a way to make the writing process authentic, creative, and sometimes even enjoyable.So, whatever your dilemma, consider inviting me to help.

I earned my Bachelor's degree from Binghamton University in New York, where I majored in mathematics. I am currently in my final semester at Hunter College where I will receive a Master's degree and NYS certification in Adolescent Mathematics Education. In addition, I am certified in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages and taught at an international English school in Westchester County. I am also an accomplished pastry chef with an interest in low sugar baking. I am excited and inspired by learning and continue to be a student of pastry, music, Spanish, Italian, Latin dancing, and cooking.My strength as a tutor lies in my ability to analyze a student's data and use it to craft a personalized study plan. I have successfully tutored 2 National Merit Finalists for the PSAT and SAT and have seen score increases as high as sixty percent. My dual background in Mathematics and ESL provides a balanced instructional experience for students.I am an experienced tutor for the ISEE, SSAT, SAT, SATII (math), ACT, GRE, GMAT, TOEFL and NYS math Regents exams and also teach mathematics (pre-algebra through pre-calculus).

With nearly two decades of experience in education, I've taught in bilingual Spanish elementaryclassrooms, ESL programs for children and adults in Ecuador, after school Spanish language programs, and piano and general music instruction to all ages in group and individual classes.My student-centric teaching philosophy is rooted in building confidence, comfortable self-expression, good social skills and having fun! The students I work with achieve exceptional results by learning how to set high standards for themselves, recognize each victory as they go, and become their own advocates for success.The joy of seeing that light bulb go off during moments that seem so brief but are really important milestones in a child's learning journey and their gleaming smile when they can FEEL the progress they are making these are the things I have enjoyed most about working with children.

I am a recent Hunter College undergrad (majored in Neuroscience) working as a Biology and Chemistry teacher at Lower Manhattan Art Academy (a Title 1 school) during the day and tutoring in the evening. I have been tutoring since high school in all subjects, and more recently, college students in Statistics and high school juniors in SAT prep. I also spent this last winter abroad in Ecuador teaching high school students the English language. I have an extra close connection with middle and high school students as I have two brothers in those grades and through my other previous/current experiences. I volunteer with the Red Cross where I am a part of the PillowCase seminars where I go into middle school classes and stress the importance of fire safety. I also volunteer with Peer Health Exchange, an organization that delivers 9th graders health seminars to those that may not receive health class in high school. Lastly, I volunteered at Rockefeller University Science OutReach Lab where I instruct middle/high school students basic science laboratory techniques and share some of my college experience. I look forward to sharing my knowledge in a variety of subjects and getting to know each student that is lucky enough to have me as a tutor. Best, Miles Dijan

I have been tutoring for the past 5 years. My quality of providing a student specific help makes me a great tutor. I am very good at analyzing a student and finding out the areas where a student needs strengthening.

I believe helping people is universally beneficial. It is contagious to help those who have helped you in your life and I aim to instill motivation and resilience in students who find learning tedious and overwhelming. Education is most imperative in life and it must be nurtured meticulously.

I am a licensed ESL teacher but I work as a High School Math teacher. I was born and raised in New York City. I attended Bronx High School of Science. I went to SUNY Plattsburgh for my undergraduate degree and studied Anthropology and Spanish. I completed my graduate degree at CUNY Hunter in Education.I have a love for learning and teaching. I learned Spanish in college through experiences studying in Mexico and Costa Rica. Traveling, meeting new people, and learning different cultures are my passions.Learning should be fun. I strive to ensure that students enjoy learning. I am an active person; I bike-ride, scuba dive, and work-out. Learning is a mental work-out: fun but also a challenge. It is crucial for students to make a connection with content. Thus, while teaching I am always relating content to tangible aspects in a student's life. I am excited to work with any student.

Hi, my name is Matt and I'm a tutor and licensed educator based in Brooklyn, New York. I specialize in literacy, writing, and ADHD/learning disabilities but I have taught everything from High School Economics (English as a new language) to Kindergarten Math. I am a life long learner, a future clinical social worker, and an active musician. As an educator my greatest passion is helping foster a genuine love of learning in all of my students. Whether it's a high school student who needs help with a college essay or a kindergartner who wants to learn to write their first song, I would love to work with you. As a student with ADHD I believe strongly in holistic education. Many students fail to thrive despite a natural talent and curiosity. As a tutor I use my concurrent education in social work to help students develop the soft skills they need to thrive in school and beyond.

I love teaching because I love learning. There is nothing as exciting to me as being with a student of any age or developmental stage, while their eyes are opening to new ideas and ways of thinking.

I believe that children should be taught how to think clearly, logically, independently, and critically. This can be accomplished quite effectively through a unique approach to the traditional curriculum. Reading comprehension skills, science, even the correct application of spelling rules and generalizations can be excellent ways of developing inductive logical thinking skills. And math, if taught properly, is great for developing deductive logical thinking skills. In fact, I have developed my own method for teaching elementary math which accomplishes precisely this objective, and I would relish the opportunity to teach the full program to serious, motivated students. Writing also has tremendous benefits. When one clarifies and adds precision to a particular thought one is trying to communicate, critical thinking skills are being developed. And all can be very effective ways of developing problem-solving skills.I believe that reading and spelling instruction are most effective when built upon a solid foundation of phonics. Once these phonetic skills are in place, reading ability is best developed through instruction in reading comprehension skills and through a program of extensive individualized reading. Toward that end, I sought to provide children in my classes with good literature and ample opportunity to read both fiction and nonfiction books of their choice. Indeed, as a former first grade teacher, I am familiar with many of the most fun and engaging books for beginning readers. I believe that a solid command of English grammar is vital to effective, intelligent, and coherent speaking and writing, and as a result, I gave it a great deal of attention in my classroom. I believe that the traditional but typically neglected subjects of history and geography are essential to fully understanding ourselves and our world, and I taught both in considerable depth and detail. Indeed, I believe that there is something almost sacred about history.I am dedicated and hardworking as evidenced by the fact that I was almost never absent. I prefer to interact with my students rather than simply giving uninspired assignments or mindless "busy work," because I feel that the former is more effective. I believe that a good teacher should ask questions which require thoughtful responses from minds which are actively engaged in the learning process. I set high standards for my students, and create many of my own materials including rather rigorous teacher made tests. Though I am firm and focused and require a high level of responsibility and accountability from my students, I liked to conduct my classes, when possible, with a sense of humor.I taught in the public schools for thirty-three years. Though I taught fourth grade for many years, I have also taught first grade, second grade, fifth grade, Title I Remedial Reading and Math (K-2), Title I Remedial Kindergarten, seventh grade Reading, and even served as a K-2 Mentor/Reading Specialist. I am Elementary (K-8) licensed and hold a Reading Teacher endorsement and an endorsement in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). Though I am retired, my passion for teaching remains. It is my hope that individual and small-group tutoring will allow me to experience all the joy and fulfillment that the profession of teaching was always meant to have. I look forward to using all my skills and experience to help your child to learn.

My goal as a tutor is to ensure that every one of my students learns the proper methods and gains the understanding to tackle their academic problems. I will work with an individual for however long it takes them to master a subject. I value the importance of practice when it comes to academics. The grades students receive are based on the practice time put in by the student, so it is necessary to put in the practice time until a concept is mastered. No question in any subject should be seen as impossible to tackle - with the proper learning tools and tips/tricks that I provide to my students, I'm confident they can take on a problem of any difficulty level.

I'm a student at the Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College majoring in economics and minoring in Spanish on the pre-med track. I'm a volunteer researcher for The Microbe Directory at Weill Cornell Medical College, and a clinical volunteer at the Cardiac Care Unit at NewYork-Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital. I have experience tutoring middle school and high school kids for SAT prep. As a tutor, I created over 100 math and English practice worksheets, and administered, graded, and went over several full-length SAT practice tests.

I have spent the last five years teaching in middle and high schools in New York and Connecticut. In that time, I have experienced the incredible success that all students can have with individualized and properly scaffolded instruction first-hand. My teaching experiences have been varied across all departments. I have partnered with several different co-teachers in an ICT environment in the English and Math departments. I have also taught pull-out interventions for literacy, along with writing and conducting testing for Individualized Education Plans. I have received comprehensive training to prepare our students for standardized state assessments, as well as integrating our curriculum with Common Core Learning Standards. In addition, I initiated several after-school clubs to fill in the gaps in elective offerings, such as theater and culinary arts. I thrive in an environment where I can pull from current events and popular culture to create a dynamic classroom environment. This also involves equipping them with the right strategies to access complicated texts, or helping them internalize the steps to break down a complex math problem. Above all, I have aspired to create an accepting and positive environment, so all students feel like they have a stake in their own success.

I have a long history with my own education that started at a boarding school in the Northeast and continued through college programs at the University of Chicago, San Francisco Art Institute, and Hunter College and Baruch College in New York City. I currently hold two masters degrees, one in Fine Art and one in Education.I have worked with younger people since my first volunteer work at a public school on the south side of the Chicago in the early 90s. I have been a teacher in public schools for the last 10 years, but was a teacher both in Japan and in New York City before I began my current position.Generally my expertise lies in mathematics but I am confident in my abilities in helping students complete homework in all academic areas. I like teaching math because over the years I have built up a great deal of insight into different ways to explain core mathematical concepts and relationships. As a tutor I like to find a baseline where my student feels confident and build on that confidence. I believe in practicing success but learning from failure.Outside of academia I play ultimate frisbee, electric guitar and have started fooling around on the piano in recent years.

I believe learning is similar to climbing a mountain. All the routes to the top of the mountain require some effort, but there exist routes that are relatively smooth and short. In terms of learning, I believe methods of learning play an important role in studying. I have always been interested in learning and teaching. I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences to students. Hopefully, the journey of learning will be more smooth and full of enjoyment.

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with my bachelors in Psychology and Sociology and a maters in School Counseling. I thought I was going to go straight into counseling but I realized to be a better counselor I should have some experience in the classroom. This epiphany led me to New York City to be a teaching assistant with Blue Engine in Algebra and Geometry for two years. After my two years, I became a New York City Teaching Fellow. I taught Geometry and Algebra for two years. I am currently certified in School Counseling in Michigan and Special Education in New York.I believe that all students can learn and can achieve academically with the right support. Because of this belief, many of my supervisors and coworkers have stated that I have a calming effect on children while learning and show great patience and determination while teaching.Please choose me to be your tutor for Middle School Math, Pre-algebra, Algebra, or Geometry.

I have been a teacher for more than twelve years. I am a graduate of Hunter College at CUNY. I received my Master of Science in Elementary Education. I am also certified to teach Chinese. I love to teach students of all ages. I am most passionate about seeing students excel in their learning. In my experience helping students to learn, we can always find common interests and make it a fun learning experience. In my spare time, I enjoy watching movies, volunteering, going to gym, and travel. It will be my honor to be your tutor. Looking forward to meeting you.

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.

I am a graduate of Touro College and Hunter College . I am from New York City. I received a dual masters degree in special education and general education from Touro College in 2012. I received a bachelors in psychology from Hunter College in 2004. I hold a professional NYS teaching certificate. I have graduate credits towards a masters in literacy. I have been working with children since the age of 18. I have been a special education teacher for the past ten years. I am a firm proponent of education and I believe in differentiated instruction. I have a strong passion for helping children. I strongly believe that we should teach the child not only the curriculum.

I began teaching English and math to middle school students in 2012. When I was working at Urban Science Academy in NYC, I remember one particular student of mine who had anxiety when taking tests. They become scatterbrained and unfocused, unable to stop shaking their leg and playing with their pencil, rather than using it. A few weeks leading up to the state tests, I led students in a class debate while teaching a unit on argumentative essay writing. Through my support and guidance, this student spoke with confidence and poise while using evidence to back up his claim. This moment solidified my passion for creating an inquiry-based learning environment where students are critical thinkers, feel empowered, engaged in the material they are learning, and inspired to speak their opinions confidently.In the five years I have been teaching, I am most proud of building valuable and trusting relationships with my students. These relationships spark higher motivation for learning and more positive and healthy social interactions. In my 7th grade math classroom this year, I worked with a student who had consistently scored low on his quarterly assessments up through this year. He struggled with impulse control and had a difficult time focusing for longer periods of time; yet he was very bright, hard working, and asked questions in class everyday. After I worked with him in a small group setting and helped him build confidence, he jumped 30 points. This was a huge success and confidence booster for him. As a tutor, I will bring the qualities I have developed as a classroom teacher, creating a safe environment where students can think outside of the box, make mistakes, and take control over their own learning, to my tutoring sessions.

I am a tutor that is interested in helping people to succeed in their classes and enjoy learning.

With over 15 years of dedicated experience in tutoring and teaching, I am deeply committed to empowering students to excel in their academic pursuits. My passion for education is rooted in a profound belief that every student has the potential for success when provided with the right guidance and support. Throughout my career, I have applied a culturally competent framework to education, recognizing the importance of acknowledging and respecting the diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives of my students. This approach not only fosters a more inclusive learning environment but also ensures that every student's unique needs are met. One of my core values is education equity. I firmly believe that education should be accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, race, or any other factors that may create disparities. I actively advocate for equitable educational opportunities and work tirelessly to bridge the gap between privilege and access. My teaching philosophy centers on the idea that education is not just about imparting knowledge but also about nurturing critical thinking skills, fostering curiosity, and instilling a lifelong love for learning. As a lifelong learner myself, I am in a unique position to create an engaging and supportive learning environment where students are empowered to reach their full potential. I look forward to continuing my journey in education, championing equity, and helping students achieve their academic aspirations.

My name is Ms. McKenzie, and I am a 3rd-grade special education teacher with experience working with learners of multiple ages and abilities. Teaching is my passion because I truly enjoy helping students grow academically, socially, and emotionally, while also learning alongside them. I believe that every student learns differently, and it is important to meet them where they are. I strive to create a supportive and engaging learning environment where students feel confident, valued, and motivated to succeed. When students need extra help, I like to incorporate their personal interests into lessons and problem-solving because it helps them make meaningful connections and increases their engagement. As a special education teacher, I am committed to building strong relationships with my students and providing individualized support that helps them reach their full potential. Watching students overcome challenges and gain confidence in their abilities is the most rewarding part of my work and continues to inspire me every day.

I've recently completed my Bachelor's degree in English literature at Hunter College. Through the course of my studies I've not only learned to appreciate literature from different times and places, but also to respect and understand the views and philosophies of critics and peers. This has effected my personal and professional relationships in a way that nothing else could have. I've learned to take other points of view into account, as well as constantly shift my own way of looking at the world and making changes for the better. I enjoy working as a tutor because it allows me to use some of my skills to help others. However, this has not been without received benefits. I continuously learn from and am inspired by my students. I believe strongly that every young child or adult has the potential to create positive changes for his or her community, and that it sometimes takes a positive experience with learning and education to inspire him or her. I'm willing to, and am eager to, work with students in various ways in order to suit their needs most appropriately.

I am a Macaulay Honors Senior at Hunter College, where I am double majoring in Biochemistry and Studio Art.I have been tutoring students for over 7 years, and I have tutored kids from elementary school all the way up to the college level. I have always loved tutoring and helping students understand material the same way I do. I am a visual learner and can help students become one as well.I specialize in math and science classes, but I have taught every subject on the elementary and middle school level.Outside of school, I love being crafty. I taught myself how to sew, knit, and embroider. I also love to bake and draw.

A lifelong curiosity about the English language led me to an ESL teaching career. I hold an MA in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) as well as a BA in English. I would be happy to help you improve your English. I can assist you in many areas such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, speaking, listening, reading, writing, academic English, essay writing, conversational English, proofreading and editing, and much more.I am also a musician, obsessive bread baker, and runner.

I believe I can teach mathematics to anyone who wants to learn it, for whatever reason. The motivation is the most important factor. I happen to love the subject, and this just means that I enjoy talking about it and communicating about it. Mathematics is about knowing what you know, and knowing what you do not know - what could be more important than that?

I am a senior at Hunter College pursuing my bachelors in biochemistry/economics. I have been in this profession for almost 5 years now and it delights me when I am able to share my knowledge. Diffusion of Knowledge is my philosophy and knowledge is only solidified best when taught and transmitted. I am expecting to pursue a career in business but for now I have developed a very strong attachment to my position, especially when i see my students raining 4s on their state test and above 90s on their regents. I have tutored all grade level from first grade to college and my specialty lies in state test prep for both math and ela between 3rd grade and 8th grade. I have also helped my students master their regents. I tutor in regents chemistry, living environment, algebra and trigonometry. I can also do AP chemistry and AP Biology.

I graduated from Hunter College with a BA in Economics and Statistics, turning my passion for math into a tutoring after years of volunteering in high school and college. Having taught students from Pre-K to the college level, I find that math struggles usually stem from a weak foundation in earlier building blocks. My method focuses on mastering each concept fully before introducing new information, ensuring consistent progress and higher test scores. Because math anxiety is real, I keep my sessions fun, lighthearted, and highly engaging by bringing jokes, singing, and dancing into my teaching style.

Biology been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. As soon as possible, I set myself on a track to have as much biology in my life as possible. In middle school I entered as many science fairs as I could. In high school I elected to enter into the IB program in order to take both IB Biology SL and IB biology HL (in addition to the standard high school biology class). While enrolled in IB Biology, I often formed study groups and peer tutored fellow classmates on a variety of concepts. After finishing up high school I entered into the B.S program for Biology at SUNY New Paltz. Here my studies focused on the cell/molecular side of cell biology (although I did take many electives in ecology and plant biology). During my undergraduate career I worked both as a tutor for general biology and genetics, and as a professional note taker. Both of these positions helped me hone my skills as a tutor, and realize the importance of having a solid foundation of organized note taking and study skills.Upon completion of my bachelors degree, I choose to enter into a biology masters program at Hunter College that concentrated on biotechnology. This program taught me to understand the various techniques used in biological research. I learned to identify which techniques are applicable for which situations, as well as how to apply the techniques. In addition to the biotechnology courses, my coursework also focused with genetics, cell biology, molecular biology and developmental biology.After graduation from my masters program, I had the choice to enter into research. While I enjoyed being a part of research throughout my college career, I realized that my true passion lays in teaching. I have started working as a professional tutor at one of the surrounding universities, tutoring students in general biology, genetics and cell/molecular biology. I joined Varsity Tutors as a means to help more students gain the love of biology that I do.

I recently graduated from the State University of New York College at Cortland with a dual degree in Adolescent Spanish Education and International Studies. I hold an initial New York State teaching certification in Adolescent Spanish Education. I am currently a Graduate student at CUNY Hunter College and am studying Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I love learning about and teaching new cultures and languages. Throughout college I travelled and interned in the International Programs office. I studied abroad in Costa Rica and Spain in order to develop my Spanish language skills. I believe that learning a new language should be fun for students and that they should be able to be creative and comfortable while learning. In my free time, I enjoy reading in English and Spanish, visiting museums, and going for walks in new parts of the city, I have very flexible availability! Thank you!

I am a Special Education teacher and tutor, having taught students ages 3-20. My strengths are in ELA and writing, especially the writing process.

I have experience administering the 3rd and 5th grade NY State tests, as well as the NY Regents Exams for high school students. I can also speak conversational Italian and my interests include art, photography and film. In my spare time, I enjoy chasing around my four and a half year old daughter!

I am excited to help you in anything you need! I am passionate about making sure you know the material. I will do my best to teach it to you in a way you would understand, whether it be in terms of the things you like or making it less complicated than it needs to be. Teachers can give work that is more complicated than it needs to be, and I'm here to help you decode all the things you need assistance understanding. Learning should be fun and it's my goal to change your outlook on education.I have experience tutoring K-8 for a year at my local library in all subjects. I also was a very active peer-tutor during high school (Math+English), and I used to help my mom tutor neighborhood kids (elementary-middle school) for two years. Having countless nieces and nephews of my own, I have a gentle hand with children and teenagers. I firmly believe in fostering a growth environment -- I want you to believe that you can do it with just a little bit of hard work and self-assurance! Let's be honest -- almost anything is achievable with perseverance and some assistance to push you to be the best you can be.

I am a Colorado native, and have been living in New York City for almost four years.

I have extensive tutoring experience, teaching students of all ages in a wide range of subjects. I absolutely love teaching history and social studies, and am very familiar with the Common Core standards and NY State Tests. I also enjoy tutoring students in reading, essay writing, and public speaking. I have traveled all over, and spent six months studying abroad in La Paz, Bolivia. My BA is in International Affairs from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and I absolutely love learning (and teaching) about the world! I try to make learning as fun and exciting as possible, so I use many different tutoring materials and techniques that are the best fit for each of my students and their individual needs. In my spare time I love going to concerts and spending time outdoors. I also enjoy skiing, cooking, yoga, and watching Youtube videos of adorable animals! I look forward to meeting and working with you!
