I am an educator and writer. I love to travel, play basketball, read poetry and cook.I believe in education not simply as a means to a good career, but as much more, as a way to enrich your life and grow in wisdom.In our society, it is necessary to have critical thinking skills, assiduous attention, and a strong will to succeed. These things are learned by experience, and a good tutor helps his pupils towards this end, being effective and diligent students.That is my pledge, to give my full attention, time and care to the tasks at hand and to enlighten and guide my students towards new discovery and deeper understanding in their studies.

I am currently a High School Spanish teacher in Port Washington. I also teach English as a Second Language to adults at night at Suffolk County Community College. I firmly believe that anyone is capable of mastering a new language, it is just a matter of finding what method of learning works best for each person.
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).
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.
My philosophy on education is to nurture the individual through my teaching and guidance. My goal is to build relationships with the students I tutor so that they will feel comfortable and learn everything they need help with. I look forward to meeting my future students that I will be tutoring!
I am a graduate of Hunter College where I received my Master's of Science in Education with a focus on adolescent education and Students with Disabilities. I have been teaching for over 6 years in Manhattan, NY. While I teach middle school math, I am certified and have also taught middle school science, English Language Arts, and Social Studies.

My goal is to help my students find the joy in learning as they discover their strengthsand develop the areas they struggle in. In my spare time I love running, working out, reading, watching sports (basketball & football), and cooking.
I have always had a passion for language learning. From exposure to German in Kindergarten to learning English upon moving to the United States, language learning has consistently been a part of my life. The love for learning foreign languages is something that I feel very passionately about and I am very eager to share this passion with all those that want to improve their skills or are just starting to dive into a new language.Languages open the doors of opportunity. Not only for career benefits but to so many opportunities to share thoughts and ideas with people from different places around the world. Through the acquisition of new language skills, our eyes can be opened to a universe that, although may seem distant, is actually not all too different from our own.
I have a B.A. in English from Skidmore College and am currently pursuing an M.A. in History from Hunter College. I also have experience teaching guitar as a private guitar instructor and have tutored students in ELA, Social Studies and math in a library setting.I have learned from working with kids that every student is unique and special in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student. I also believe a good tutor should try to make learning fun by piquing interest and by relieving any anxiety that often comes when students approach their work.My strengths are in ELA, History and Social Studies generally. I am also currently writing a graduate thesis, so I have a great interest in writing and can help with writing at all levels.I am a guitarist and can also teach guitar. Music is my favorite interest, and I also love to read and play tennis.
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.
I have a Master of Science degree in Health Services Administration from Hunter College. I have been a healthcare executive for over 30 years and have directed several departments including IT, Accounting, Purchasing, Facilities, Planning and Contract Management. I was a Department Chair at Mandl College of Allied Health and developed various curricula including Computerized Medical Billing, Medical Coding, Medical Billing and Anatomy and Physiology. As a college professor for more than 15 years I have taught all medical coding for preparation for AAPC and AHIMA exams. I have even taught ICD-10-PCS coding. I have taught at Florida Career College, Fortis College, and Mandl College of Allied Health. I also advised students on career opportunities, resume' preparation and interviewing. I have also taught advanced anatomy and physiology and pathophysiology to nursing, medical assistant, radiology technicians and licensing and certification for all.
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.
I consider myself an energetic idealist that desires to make a difference through the service of others. I have a passion for understanding the world around me through personal research and informing others on my findings. I am a skilled communicator and know how to engage different personalities. I am highly adaptable and able to make adjustments to accommodate the needs of different individuals. Knowing this reassures me that I can help any student reach his or her full potential.
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 am a graduate student at Hunter College for an MA in Statistics and I am trying to pursue a career as an actuary. I have been tutoring various math subjects for five years and love to tutor. I always try to really individualize my approach to tutoring because everyone learns differently.
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 teaching Algebra, Geometry, ISEE, SAT, SSAT and ACT Prep for almost 20 years. My experience ranges from teaching in person classes of up to 30 students, to one-on-one individualized programs. I am passionate about helping my students learn the materials in each of their individual learning styles. No two students are identical and are able to learn the same. Teachers must be able to adapt and assist each student's needs in this way.
Hi, I'm Brogan. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Occupational Therapy. After excelling in Anatomy and Physiology I and II, I was hired as a tutor for my College's learning center, to help students gain an interactive understanding of class material, prepare for exams, meet their grade goals, and practice effective study techniques.Some of the abstract concepts covered in Anatomy and Physiology can be confusing, especially since they are only layered on top of each other in subsequent chapters. However, through visualizing the "story" of each seemingly abstract concept, and connecting each piece of information to each other, everything truly begins to make more sense - and it even allows one to garner an excitement for the subject (and for our own anatomical bodies!). So, in a sense, we're lucky that we're learning about something so tangible (our body) -- allowing us to consistently remember how these abstract concepts are real and occurring within us at any given moment.If you're having trouble grasping Anatomy and Physiology concepts (of if you're just looking to get ahead in your class) - I'd love to work with you.
Math is simple, but if you don't have its strong foundation, then you will think it's the hardest subject in life.
A learning environment featuring engagement, organization, flexibility, and understanding is one of most optimal to empower students to realize their academic and personal goals, as well as to become whole citizens of the world. My passion for learning and working towards social progress pushes me to create this type of environment while teaching. In this manner, I remind myself that students are the paramount focus of my teaching. I welcome them to feel comfortable and honest in my classroom and to emerge as active members of the teaching and learning process. I want to highlight to students that everyone has the potential to learn math. Whether the student loves the subject or perhaps it is not their strongest suit, my role as a teacher is to take up the challenge of providing a path for students in which they can fully realize their potential. It is my responsibility as an educator to maintain current knowledge of the pedagogical literature and communicate with colleagues for best practices. It is important to exercise collaborative learning, projects, and multimodal work as additional teaching methods to incorporate the broad spectrum of students' linguistic and cultural repertoire. Furthermore, practicing formative assessments such as oral presentations will serve to promote individual student's confidence and personality growth, as well as minimize biases. I believe we need to constantly evaluate our teaching forms and be simultaneously critical and flexible to executing new ideas on classroom instruction. Above all, a love for teaching and advocacy of agency growth are two of the key elements for motivating students to learn. Through my experience as a Teaching Assistant for Calculus courses, I strive to practice student-centered approaches to create a desire for learning. I develop open-ended learning tasks for students to think critically about the main ideas of the textbook. By establishing an interactive dialogue, the students and I derive examples and approaches that best fit with their learning style. I appreciate the honesty that students display when giving mathematical answers that need improvement; embracing struggles and mistakes presents another opportunity toward success. Lastly, during office hours I adapt my teaching style to provide individual help that fits the needs of the scholar. These strategies foster a setting filled of inquiry, engagement, and problem-solving that students can carry to other courses and beyond. The production of an atmosphere that is conducive to critical thinking and advancement starts by cultivating a good rapport with students. Often, I relate with students because I continue to be a student myself. I recognize the variation of socioeconomic challenges students face, and I know that sometimes I have minute direct influence over certain challenges. However, teachers are uniquely positioned to initiate and contribute to conversations that are inclusive of multiple perspectives and lived experiences. Through this viewpoint, I work towards becoming supportive, culturally aware, and a better communicator with every teaching interaction. This might resemble hosting one-on-one appointments for students who have conflicting schedules or affording assignment extensions for students with extenuating circumstances. Additionally, building connections with students' families requires a conscious effort and is well worthwhile when necessary, given that parental support plays a crucial role in learners' attitude both in and out of the classroom. Without question, my passion for teaching drives me to seek opportunities to educate and mentor students from all backgrounds. Via student feedback and evaluations, I look forward to continuously improving my teaching for the effort of assisting young minds to blossom into their authentic self and future leaders of the world.
I have been a classroom teacher in public schools for the last 15 years, and I have a wealth of experience with learners in middle and high school. I am a graduate of DePauw University, with a BA in Spanish, and I obtained my Masters in Spanish/Latin American Literature from Hunter College. I love teaching Spanish language to all levels, and I also am passionate and well-versed in literary analysis and Latin American history and culture. My extensive experience with the education system in the US has given me insight into many of the skills required on our standardized tests and in our college essay writing. I believe that all students have an innate desire and ability to learn, and that a true teacher makes it their job to find out how to bridge the gap between a student and the subject material. My favorite moments during tutoring sessions are when students truly connect with the material and we can both learn something new.
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 believe that each child is a unique individual who needs a secure, caring, and stimulating atmosphere in which to grow and mature emotionally, intellectually, physically, and socially. It is my desire as a tutor to help students meet their fullest potential in these areas by providing an environment that is safe, supports risk-taking, and invites a sharing of ideas. There are three elements that I believe are conducive to establishing such an environment; acting as a guide, allowing the students natural curiosity to direct his/her learning, and promoting respect and honor.When the tutor's role is to guide, providing access to information rather than acting as the primary source of information, the students' search for knowledge is met as they learn to find answers to their questions. For students to construct knowledge, they need the opportunity to discover for themselves and practice skills in authentic situations. Providing students access to hands-on activities and allowing adequate time and space to use materials that reinforce the lesson being studied creates an opportunity for individual discovery and construction of knowledge to occur.Equally important to self-discovery is having the opportunity to study things that are meaningful and relevant to one's life and interests. Inviting student dialogue about the lessons and units of study lends the opportunity for input, students generate ideas and set goals that make for much richer activities than I could have created or imagined myself. When students have ownership in the curriculum, they are motivated to work hard and master the skills necessary to reach their goals.Helping students to develop a deep love and respect for themselves, others, and their environment occurs through an open sharing of ideas; when the voice of each student is heard, and environment evolves where students feel free to express themselves. I believe children have greater respect for their tutors, their peers, and the lessons presented when they feel safe and sure of what is expected of them. In setting fair and consistent rules initially and stating the importance of every activity, students are shown respect for their presence and time. In turn, they learn to respect themselves, others, and their environment.For myself, tutoring provides an opportunity for continual learning and growth. One of my hopes as a tutor is to instill a love of learning in my students, as I share my own passion for learning with them. I feel there is a need for compassionate, strong, and dedicated individuals who are excited about working with children. In our competitive society it is important for students to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware of and sensitive to their individual needs. I am such a person and will always strive to be the best tutor that I can be.
I graduated in May of 2023 from Hunter College with a BA in Mathematics. I previously worked in the Dolciani Math Center at Hunter College as a tutor, working one on one or in groups with students. There I tutored College Algebra, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus and more. As a private tutor, I worked with students ranging from the 1st grade to high school, tutoring basic mathematics, SAT Math, Algebra, Geometry, AP Calc AB as well as other similar subjects. I've always enjoyed tutoring others as a way to give back to the community that has helped me throughout my own educational career, hoping it will encourage others to do the same. Lastly, in my free time I enjoy reading, playing on my Nintendo Switch, doing puzzles, and practicing yoga.
I have a BA from CUNY Hunter College where my major was English and minor was Psychology. My favorite subjects have always been reading and writing. After pursing a career in the children's publishing industry I decided I wanted a more hands on approach. Now I work at a special needs high school as a paraprofessional. This job has allowed me to interact with a range of students, including those with Autism, ADD, moderate OCD, as well as students who are physically challenged. In the near future I am looking to return to school to earn my MA in Elementary Education. In the past I have also been a literacy tutor for elementary school students. I loved seeing my students' progress and enthusiasm about reading. My love of language also extends to foreign language. I studied Spanish for four years and have a future goal of learning sign language too!
I'm an enthusiastic tutor fully committed to the success of my students. I teach the full spectrum of knowledge, including test-taking strategies and confidence-building exercises.I enjoy working with a wide variety of students at every knowledge level. I'm a patient and positive teacher who knows the importance of motivation and structure. I listen to my students and adjust my teaching to fit their needs and personalities.
When it comes to teaching, I do my best to ensure that the tutee understands the material. I am patient when it comes to teaching, as every student has their own pace of study, and will alter my methods in order to meet their pace. I would then create problems that would test their knowledge on the subject before moving onto the next. The success of my student is very important to me, and I will do my best to help them achieve their best.
Grade Level Lead and classroom management experience has helped me develop and execute school wide systems and routines. Training teachers on curriculum design, blended learning, and implementation has been one of the greatest levers in ensuring high student performance across multiple classrooms. Due to this and well executed instruction, teams have improved student performance tremendously on both the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium, as well as the NWEA Measures of Academic Progress test through evidence-based lessons that allow children to apply skills through depths of knowledge. I have spent my 12 year career teaching students with special needs and general education in elementary, middle, and high school, while supporting my team in curriculum design that supports interdisciplinary applications for students with various learning needs. I have achieved these accomplishments through online platform management and data driven instruction that enhances personalized learning.My masters in the Science of Education (Special Education) from Hunter College has given me an excellent foundation to education that has allowed me to practice proper implementation of curriculum, school-wide teacher accountability, and effective instruction. I am dual certified in the state of New Jersey to teach grades one through 6 in general and special education. I have successfully instructed all grades, 1st through 12th, to both native and secondary English language speakers. As a special education teacher, I have had the opportunity to transform the lives of learning impaired, autistic, mild cognitively impaired, and emotionally impaired students. With proper vertical curriculum alignment, all children can achieve scholarly success.Lastly, I am also a college professor with experience teaching adults. My experience with college readiness standards provides me with unique skills to prepare and support students to and through college. I look forward to our partnership in the success of your child.
Hi there! I'm Kwing! I have accumulated over 10 years working with youth. From classroom support, to running an after-school program, I've done a little bit of everything. I enjoy building relationships with the various students I have instructed and learning what fuels them. It's important to the work that we learn to connect with one another. I do things a little differently, and that's okay! Over time, I have learned that my brain functions in a way that's different than most. Some would label me, "neurodivergence." I call it, my "awesome sauce." It's about finding what works best for you. I hope to make your learning experience a great one!
I am a graduate of Touro College where I received my Masters Degree and became certified in General and Special Education. Currently, I work as a Special Education Teacher Support Services (SETSS) teacher. In this position, I collaborate with general education teachers and related service providers to promote student development. My duties include providing progress reports and small group instruction for my students on a daily basis. I also set up motivational programs for my students to be carried out during our sessions and in their general education classrooms. By teaming up with parents and teachers, I help each one of my students stay organized and motivated to do well in school.During my small group instruction sessions, I help my students by using games and songs to study pertinent information. I am patient, organized, and have a great amount of experience working with children. I also incorporate Gardners Multiple Intelligences into my sessions to cater to the learning styles of each of my students. I believe that every student can succeed when they are provided with the right tools by a knowledgeable motivator.
I received my first training as a tutor in two undergraduate courses which prepared me for my job as a general chemistry tutor at Rollins College, where I received my B.A. in chemistry and mathematics. As an undergraduate, I also worked at a tutoring center in Winter Park, FL. At this center, I tutored students ranging from elementary to undergraduate. Although my professional and academic specialty is chemistry, I have extensive experience tutoring in a broad range of subjects, particularly test preparation (ACT/SAT) and mathematics. My skill as a tutor and passion for teaching stems from my insatiable need to learn about various subjects. As a lifelong learner, I am constantly making new connections and gaining a deeper understanding of the content and context of the material I work with. This enables me to approach a question or concept from numerous angles, not only enabling my students to retain the material but also helping them to see the broader implications of whatever they are learning. As a tutor, I aim to pique my students' interest and guide them to realize their own educational potential. Beyond academics, I thoroughly enjoy pursuing scientific research, reading (fiction and non-fiction), and outdoor activities, e.g. hiking and kayaking.
I am graduate of Hunter College with a Master's degree in Literacy Education. I also have a Bachelor's degree in Childhood education. I have been in education for 12 years in elementary education. I have spent about 5 of those years providing extra support to students through tutoring. I have experience tutoring students in reading and math as well as prepping elementary school students with state exams. With my current position I do have the supports to help students improve their fiction, nonfiction and constructed response skills. Although, I currently teach reading and writing, I do have a strong love for math. I like being able to use different methods to achieve the same results.
I am a passionate educator with over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with many different kinds of learners during my career as a public school teacher, and I understand that every student has their own unique way of growing and of mastering skills. I have experience teaching a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts and am very familiar with the Common Core and its emphasis on research skills. I especially enjoy teaching writing; I myself love to write and I teach students a clear process for approaching challenging essay assignments. Above all, I believe that learning should be meaningful and enjoyable and that any academic task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery.My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts.I am a confident teacher of test preparation skills. I provide reading and writing strategies that empower students to perform at a high level on selected-response, short response, and essay questions. I emphasize the importance of analyzing test questions and passages so that students have a clear "plan of attack" on test day.My personal interests include playing guitar, songwriting, Tai Chi, and meditation.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Economics, summa cum laude, from Hunter College, and my J.D. from Harvard Law School. At Hunter College, I studied economics, mathematics and philosophy and earned a 4.0 in all math courses (I completed math courses up to multi-variable calculus, differential equations, and linear algebra) and in graduate school my studies focused on business, finance, and corporate law. I also received a graduate level certificate in Advanced Calculus with Financial Engineering Applications from Baruch College's esteemed Financial Mathematics department and I am CFA candidate. The subjects I tutor are math (algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, calculus), statistics, finance, economics, SAT Math and LSAT prep.I believe that classroom instruction is not always the most effective pedagogical approach for all students, and that 1-on-1 instruction can be tremendously helpful in overcoming obstacles and developing stronger learning and test-taking techniques.I enjoy this work because I find the subjects interesting and enjoy helping students succeed at something and develop confidence. My professional interests include economics, finance, value investing, venture investing, derivatives trading, and commercial real estate. In addition to my academic and professional interests, I enjoy art, film, poker, technology, muay thai kickboxing and basketball.

As a member of the first generation in my family to go to college, I realized that this will be my gateway to explore what I wanted in my life. While attending CUNY, nothing intrigued me more than the chemical aspects of human anatomy. For example, I was completely baffled by the idea how the Le-Chatelier's principle can be used to regulate the pH in our body, or how conjugation in cholesterol structure helps provide fluidity in cell membrane. Inspired by this very ability of science to explain the physiological phenomenon, I decided to major in Chemistry. During my time at Hunter, I starting tutoring incoming freshmen and sophomores during my undergraduate years. As I begun my journey as a tutor, I realized that I was extremely enthusiastic about science, and education in general. I learned that with the right tools and resources, any student can achieve their goals. I am qualified to teach biochemistry, chemistry, and Biology. I can adapt to each student's needs and cater instruction and coaching through creative ways that can achieve positive outcomes.During the summer of last year in college, I began research on the genomic evolution of Syphils disease at Weill Cornell Medical College. The research focused primarily on the comparative analysis of various genes of the Syphlis disease pathogen-Treponema Pallidum. My job as a paid-intern involved extracting various orthologs from Trep genome, and to analyze the diversification in Treponema bacteria with the help of molecular phylogenetics. Currently I am an Adjunct at CUNY Hunter, where I teach general chemistry lab course. I am also familiar with various computer languages, such as bash, PERL, SQL, and bioperl.
I am a fluent Japanese native, born in Japan, but raised mostly in the United States. I return multiple times a year to keep in touch with my Japanese family, as well as the culture and language. While I enjoy academics as a whole, my passion has been in the Japanese language and Psychology, both of which I have an extensive college education in. I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. I believe learning another language is difficult enough on its own, so I aim to bridge the gaps in culture, native pronunciation, and enjoyment, through a relaxed, organized, patient, and encouraging approach. Consistency is key when it comes to any type of learning, therefore I aim to ensure that all students receive a punctual and dependable tutor in me. In my spare time I enjoy working with animals, watching documentaries, and playing tennis.
My name is Jas and I am currently pursing a masters in physiology. I have been tutoring for over 5 years and have tutored a wide variety of subjects. I have worked with a multitude of age ranges and have successfully implemented strategies that help students in their everyday academic lives.
I am Nicole. My background includes a bachelors in Childhood Studies and a Masters in Special Education, along with 6+ years of teaching experience. I love to interact with kids from all over, helping assist in building a solid foundation to help them succeed and love learning
