I am a Mechanical Engineering student, and I have tutored elementary and middle school students since 5 years ago. I am most passionate about Physics and Math subjects. I believe that learning should be enjoyable inside and outside the classroom.

I earned a B.S. Business Administration from the University of Southern California. I'm now pursuing a J.D. at NYU Law. I have tutored professionally and privately for four years now. Specifically, I tutor Math, English, History, Spanish, French, the SAT, and the LSAT. My favorite subject to teach is French because it is such a unique and interesting language, and it keeps me in practice.I teach my students by starting with the fundamentals and working my way up. This makes it easier for my students to remember what they have learned throughout the semester/year, and it helps them pick up new concepts quickly.When I am not studying or tutoring, I love to read, exercise, and explore. My favorite author is Stephen King, my favorite sports are basketball and snowboarding, and my favorite food is popcorn! I just recently moved to Manhattan, so I venture out into different parts of the city in my free time. So far, I have run into comedians, actors, and many more interesting people.
I first became acquainted with the world of tutoring back in college when I worked for the America Reads program. Through that experience I found that I really enjoyed teaching, and I took that passion all the way to Japan.During my 3 and half years there as an ESL instructor, I had the opportunity to work with a variety of students: everyone from small children to retires. While it was great helping students to improve their test scores, translate their presentations, and boost their communication skills, I feel my most valuable contribution was cultural exchange. Even if it was just for moment, I'm happy that I encouraged locals to look past the stereotypes and see foreigners not as alien others, but just people.Since coming back to the US, I've worked primarily as a content writer and strategist. Of course, I still have plenty of time to flex the creative muscles that I built at NYU; I run a site about life in Japan entitled Darkside of the Sun.net, where I double as the author of the comic strip NEET House.
I am passionate about helping students become more confident in essay writing. As a current economics student at NYU, I have extensive experience articulating arguments and crafting clear, well-organized essays. Outside the classroom, I have also written and edited articles for a human rights organization. My combined academic and editorial background allows me to help students develop a strong, structured voice and communicate their ideas effectively through writing.
A short explanation about my background and interest. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology, in 2005 and received my Master's in Psychology, in 2011. Since then, I've performed several years of administrative and case management experience in the behavioral health department. I have been the principal as well as a teacher at a local private school (IASJ). As the principal where I am expected to provide leadership and administration which will motivate instructional and support personnel to strive for superior performance to provide the best possible opportunities for student growth and development, both educationally and personally. I am directly responsible to the Board of School except in the areas of curriculum and instruction where the responsibility is to the Administrator and local school district. Teaching is my passion and finds great joy in helping students learn what was taught to me by great teachers in my life. Guiding and leading the future generation would help me guide students toward the right path. Currently, I am working on my School Counseling degree from New York University. I will be graduating with my NJ School Counseling certificate by the end of July 2022. As a graduate student of NYU, I am also very privileged to intern for String Theory Charter School in Philadelphia, PA. The position is all virtual and allowed me to work closely with a student from high school. My resume has detailed information about my duties and task as an intern in School Counseling.Before working at IASJ I had many years in behavioral and mental health. During that time, I've gained in-depth knowledge of the various tasks and duties required of office clerks across the spectrum of job roles. I have a wide-ranging familiarity with Microsoft Office and other office management software and have developed a suite of efficiency tools to keep the office organized and on task. I have provided prompt and accurate triage of incoming calls and initiated triage documentation, completed competent risk assessment as appropriate, provided screening for substance use or other behavioral health-related problems, showed competent crisis intervention as appropriate, completed appropriate documentation in a timely and accurate manner according to AtlantiCare Behavioral Health standards, given referrals to appropriate services with appropriately credentialed providers, demonstrated knowledge of ABH and community resources, shown proficient in the knowledge and skills described in the core competency curriculum for each assigned age/disability group. Maintained service orientation to internal and external customers. Attended 80% of all scheduled staff meetings. I have confirmed client appointments for priority and Med Clinic appointments. I have experience in completing NJSAMS DASIE screening for all addiction clients in the state.Working as a Case Manager at AtlantiCare Behavioral health has prepared me to meet the challenges of a managerial role in a professional office environment. I have shown my competency in clerical duties such as filing, typing, answering phone calls, and dealing with the public. I can contribute effectively to your company and be a valuable employee.I would be thrilled to have an opportunity to work with students and lead them towards success.
Aside from having my master's degree in information technology and game design, I have taught kids and adults in some form or another for most of my adult life. I've taught in school, homeschool, and informal settings, large classes and one-on-one coaching. I've developed curricula and lesson plans both for my classes and for others'. I love teaching, and students have said that I'm fun, funny, nerdy, passionate, and creative.My expertise lies in technology, particularly in the following areas: general computer use, computer science, software engineering, programming (JavaScript, PHP), web development, web design, game design, graphic design, marketing design, desktop publishing, and the Adobe Creative Suite (PhotoShop, InDesign, etc.). I am also a fan of project-based learning: I can coach a technology project from beginning to end.I've been programming since age ten, and developing web sites for as long as there's been an Internet. I have my master's degree in information technology and game design (4.0 GPA) and continue to learn devotedly, even as trends in technology rapidly change. I have my own web design business, specializing in custom sites.I ran a print/web marketing business for ten years, advising clients on designs for their marketing. I understand layout, composition, eye pathing, communications, color theory, typography, fontography, and design history. I also use PhotoShop and InDesign almost every day, frequently creating custom art and graphics for my web design clients.All of my areas of expertise are highly marketable in today's IT job environment. Let me know how I can help you out.
I graduated from New York University with an education degree specific to secondary mathematics. My work with students has been ongoing since 2008 and has involved junior high students from New Jersey, high schoolers from New York, and even young ESL students in Shanghai. My expertise ranges from Middle School Math to Calculus I. I appreciate and respect math because of the precision, creativity, and attention to detail that it demands (and hopefully you will, too!). Geometry and Algebra are arguably the most strategy-oriented fields, and thus they are my favorite to explore.Tutoring should be engaging and dare I say enjoyable. Beyond the problem sets and test reviews, my task is to help you become a better and more creative thinker. The brain is a lot like a muscle; we should work it out together while having an appropriate amount of fun along the way. Despite what you may have heard, math is not this impossible and terrible thing cooked up to make you miserable. I think I can convince you of that.When I'm not working, I bike and do yoga. Otherwise I'm reading, writing limericks or maybe re-watching Breaking Bad.
I am currently a senior at New York University with a major in Economics and other studies in business, mathematics, and data science. In my tutoring experience, I have helped students with Pre-Calculus, Calculus, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Statistics. I have also had the pleasure of working with Let's Get Ready, a non-profit organization, by preparing disadvantaged high schoolers for both the SAT and ACT.I look forward to helping you accomplish your goals. My ultimate goal with all my students is to ensure they leave confident in their subject knowledge along with the skills to continue their academic success.
As a dedicated tutor with a Bachelor's in Applied Psychology and Public Policy from NYU, and currently pursuing a Master's in Public Administration at NYU Wagner, I am passionate about helping students build confidence and clarity not just in their academic material, but also in themselves. With over two years of experience working with diverse learners in both classroom and one-on-one settings, I specialize in subjects such as AP Psychology, AP U.S. Government & Politics, and writing comprehension. My teaching philosophy is centered around understanding each student's unique strengths and stressors, allowing me to tailor my approach to their individual learning styles. I employ real-world applications and active learning strategies, encouraging students to connect complex concepts to their lives. I believe that education should be engaging and relevant, and I am excited to support students on their journeys toward academic success while fostering their curiosity and independence. Outside of tutoring, I love creative writing, cooking new recipes, and exploring NYC's neighborhoods. I'm passionate about mental health advocacy and often volunteer with youth-focused programs. I also enjoy hiking when I'm home in Colorado, playing with my dog, and discovering cozy coffee shops to read in. Whether it's helping students build confidence or finding the best spot for cookies, I bring curiosity and care into everything I do.
Greetings! I am a certified Teacher of French, Spanish and Elementary Education. I am looking forward to working with you and helping you achieve your academic goals.

Please reach out to me about any questions. I'm excited to work with you! Cell: (516) 780-3990
I received my Masters Degree in International Politics and Business from New York University, and am currently on a year long leave from the Hopkins-Nanjing Center based in China. I am a certified ESL instructor. In addition to my tutoring work, I am currently working as a content marketing intern for a Shanghai-based consulting firm. I have taught all over the world from South America to East Asia, and collectively have years of tutoring experience. These experiences have been as diverse as teaching English as a Second Language, students in underfunded school districts basic math and reading skills, and new mothers the test taking skills required to pass the GRE. Although I love teaching ESL, I am also experienced in teaching Verbal and Quantitative subjects as well as standardized test preparation. I am deeply invested in the process of learning, and I am passionate about helping people develop critical life skills in the pursuit of short term academic success.
I am passionate about helping students getting the knowledge and training they need to be successful. Getting that extra help may be the difference in getting into your desired school or getting the job of your dreams.I have worked with high school students preparing for SATs and college, and also have done mentorship programs for iMentor teaching high school and grade school students.I did my Bachelor in Business Administration at Pace University, doing a double major in Finance and Management Information Systems. After work experience, I then obtained my Master in Business Adminstration from New York University (NYU Stern), with concentrations in Corporate Finance and Global Business.I also have professional certifications in project management (PMP, PMI-ACP, PMI-RMP), cryptocurrency (Certified Bitcoin Professional), Series 7, real estate salesperson license.I am also working towards a Masters of Science in Digital Currency at the University of Nicosia.I tutor mainly in Math and English prep (SAT, GMAT and school prep), and professional certifications in project management (PMP and its variants). I really enjoy these test prep and professional certifications as having a solid plan of attack in studying and testing prep can make a huge difference in test scores.My teaching philosophy is to make sure you understand the concepts for trying to tackle a problem. Read and re-read the question to ensure you understand what the question is asking you, and that will save you more time than you expect and also ensure that you don't make any careless errors.My interests outside of academia include technology, investing, cryptocurrency and blockchain, gaming and sports.
I teach because there are few thrills greater than that "lightbulb" moment when a student, regardless of age, background or aspiration, looks up and says, "I get it now!" My job as a tutor is to find unique paths to lightbulb moments for each and every student, and in so doing, instill confidence and create opportunities for continuing success.All too often, a child's classroom experience becomes one of frustration and discouragement. It's not the fault of the school or the teacher, necessarily. Schools only receive a fraction of the support they need and teachers are overburdened by large class sizes, mandated testing and restrictive curricula. As an individual tutor, I can assess a child's exact needs and address those factors that inhibit a child's success with patience and creative approaches that nurture curiosity and impart a sense of discovery.For reluctant readers with lagging comprehension, who view the task as a chore, very often the problem is a weak vocabulary and a lack of contextual understanding. I encourage students to learn new words as an act of discovery and record each in their personal list, which they can take pride in enlarging. Contextual understanding can be achieved by offering stories and sharing the process of exploration and discovery, both online and in books.Writing, where many students have the greatest difficulty, should be enjoyed as an expressive activity, not dreaded as a mysterious and difficult task they will never master. I teach rules of grammar and the best practices for composition as parts of the process of writing, which empowers children to be their own editors and relieves then of the fear of making errors, or "saying something wrong." When children realize that their ideas and words are valid and that they have the power to improve them, writing assignments can become opportunities for expression and sources of accomplishment and pride.As a lifelong science nerd, I can help students who are having difficulty with science and math see that these subjects are neither abstract, nor useless. Science and math are, in fact, all around us and in everything we do and experience, from the simple physics of a subway ride or baseball game, to being able to use math to make predictions about weather or finances. I can show students how humans are part of the natural world and linked to every other living creature.Likewise, history needn't be regarded as a meaningless list of abstract dates and events that must be memorized. I can show students who don't think they care about history that all those events and dates are linked to the world we live in now. I teach that we are linked to the past through the people we know and share my own personal knowledge and experiences of times they think of as historical, but that I remember first hand. History is about stories and I can make that subject real and important by sharing some of my own stories.Most of all, I work to inspire students' own natural curiosity and desire to succeed. There are no wrong, bad or incorrect questions. I encourage all the students I work with to ask whatever questions they have during a time I set aside after our work is done and I promise them that I'll answer them all as best I can.
I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a focus on Process Engineering. Currently, I am working towards higher education degrees and starting my career as an Engineer. Helping others to learn and understand material has always been a passion of mine. Immersing myself in a rigorous Engineering curriculum, I found myself working closely with peers and classmates in understanding the subject material. During my time at New York University, I served as a tutor for the Tutoring Center at the School of Engineering working with individuals and groups from a variety of subjects corresponding to Engineering, such as mathematics, physics, life sciences, with a primary focus on Chemical sciences and Chemical Engineering coursework. As a part of the University outreach program, I had the opportunity to work with high school students and provide tutoring after school for local high schools in the area with respect to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. I have a strong affinity for tutoring Math and Science materials. These subjects require strong problem solving skills. In my experience working with students in Standardized test preparation, we find the time spent on the Math portions to be the most enriching with results. T.H White once claimed 'Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.' I hold similar values to T.H White with respect to the learning process. There is always something to learn, and the best way to accomplish this is to immerse one-self in the subject. Through continuous repetition and exposure, problem solving skills will be developed and we become more confident in handling the problems that we face. I also do not believe in the concept of failure, for mistakes we make can be used to learn and better ourselves. Outside of academia, I am a club soccer coach training and teaching the game to young children and adolescence. I enjoy keeping my brain and body active through puzzles, reading, exercise, and many sports specifically soccer and volleyball. I enjoy activities that induce progress, as I am always looking to better myself.
I believe that as educators we are often in the position of trying to teach our students how to think critically for the first time. What a responsibility! By taking this charge seriously and conceptualizing it fully we can positively impact the quality and veracity of our students' thinking.I am invested in the intricacies of pedagogy. My experience of teaching at multiple universities such as GMU, Miami-Dade, New College of Florida, American and NYU affords me the opportunity to hone my skills as an instructor-across multiple departments.I bring a deeply entrenched belief in the development of student "idea." I see "idea" a finessed & nuanced, malleable entity that students themselves form and put to work in their thinking/ writing. This pushes them beyond the routinized 'thesis statement' and pushes them to foray into the uncharted waters of their own minds. I believe in the ability of students to learn to think critically and to actively engage in texts. I spend a great deal of time modeling and molding those skills. Students need to think deeply and critically at all times and actively engage those practices into their studies.I am a tough grader with high expectations, but I firmly believe in not "lowering the bar". I use my high standards as a driving force towards accomplishment and success. Students come to me for my expertise, but leave me realizing that they themselves are the integral voice in their own work. This transpires in an exchange that is both dialogical and balanced. We work together to cultivate beneficial critical thought.My ultimate pedagogical goal is to inspire students to become both curious and risky intellectuals who craft quality writing skillfully and employ deft critical thinking with great ease.
I am eager to help learners of any age and educational background thrive through providing careful listening, guidance, and feedback. I enjoy teaching a variety of subjects ranging from statistics to psychology to the Japanese language. I was born in New York, NY, and grew up in northern New Jersey attending the local public school system and the Japanese Weekend School of New Jersey. After completing two high school diplomas, I pursued a Bachelor's of Arts degree in Psychology at New York University and worked in New York, NY for six years in private industry. I returned to higher education, moving to Boston where I conducted research, taught, and studied Clinical Psychology. After completing a Master of Liberal Arts in Clinical Psychology at Harvard University, I moved to Salt Lake City, UT to pursue a PhD in Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology). I am proficient in SPSS, Stata, APA formatting, and research methods for the behavioral sciences. I have limited exposure and experience with R and MATLAB.
My experiences as an educator have allowed me to develop rigorous curriculum aligned to the Common Core. Through continuous assessment, data analysis, and reflection I tailor my practice to ensure the needs of diverse learners are matched and high expectations are being met. It is my belief that students are most successful when a sound action plan, based on performance data, is developed and pushes them towards mastery of material.
I am a NY State/ Maryland Certified teacher. I received my Bachelor of Science In Childhood and Special Education (Grades 1-6) from State University of New York at Geneseo and a Master of Arts In International Education from New York University. I have had teaching experience in kindergarten through third grade both in the United States and as a student teacher in Thailand. For the past two years, I have taught second grade in Maryland. I enjoy supporting elementary students in developing a love for learning, inquiry and discovery in math, reading, writing, science and social studies. I believe that students are best engaged when the learning is individualized to their specific interests and needs. My teaching style focuses on providing hands on learning experiences and game based opportunities for students. During learning experiences, I gradually release responsibility to students to provide the right balance of support and challenge for the learner.
I have been dancing my whole life from taking classes in private studios to majoring in dance at the High School of the Performings Arts in NYC. I am a graduate of the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU with a BFA in Dance. I also hold an MFA in Dance from UWM and an MA in Performance Studies from NYU. Currently, I am an EdD student in Dance Education at Teachers College, Columbia University.After dancing professionally for almost twenty years I turned to education and worked in the NYC Public Schools as a Dance Educator. I've also worked as a Teaching Artist and spent five years as the Subject Expert Teacher in Movement at BASIS Independent Brooklyn. I am passionate about teaching dance and the ways we learn through and with our bodymind. I have trained in Yoga RYT200, and many body based modalities. I am a Mom to two beautiful girls and a host Mom to international students. Our house is full of learning!
I am a sophomore at New York University majoring in Data Science and Biology. I am most passionate about learning through research and have been a part of multiple projects on stem cell research and machine learning. Teaching students of the many learning opportunities presented through real world applications has always been a focus of mine. I believe that students are able to obtain a more meaningful and gratifying education when they are able to apply their knowledge into their own lives, and I would like to share that appreciation with them.
I'm a second year MD/PhD student currently enjoying medical school. I'm a laid back guy who loves to teach and help people understand topics. I also enjoy teaching people new ways to learn, allowing them to spend less time studying and more time enjoying other activities, like playing soccer or exploring around their city.
I have been teaching literature and writing courses for seventeen years. I earned my Bachelor's degree in English from NYU, and I went on to complete a Ph. D in English at Stony Brook University. I am extremely passionate about my subject. I love interacting with my students, and helping them to feel more confident in their reading and writing skills. I have been helping students to navigate the college admissions process, including preparing for standardized tests and writing the college essay, since I began teaching. My primary motivation is to do anything I can to help each student accomplish his or her goals .
I am excited that you are considering me to be your tutor for elementary math or LSAT Analytical Reasoning! I am currently pursuing my Master of Arts degree in Bioethics at New York University and I hope to go to law school next year. I graduated Summa Cum Laude from Montclair State University with a degree in Psychology in January, 2016. I am a certified Elementary Education teacher in New Jersey, with experience in classrooms and tutoring programs. After I completed a year of student teaching in a fifth grade classroom, I was hired by that school as fourth grade classroom aide. Getting to work with children every day, and seeing them grow as individuals, was an invaluable experience. Working with children with special needs, I learned how to appeal to a wide range of learning styles while also making learning fun. I am passionate about helping learners realize their full potential!Math has always been my favorite subject, which is probably why I actually enjoy the Analytical Reasoning section of the LSAT (shh!). To me, the problems are more like puzzles, and I look forward to the opportunity to work through this section with you! The best part it's totally learn-able. You'll be amazed at how quickly concepts become clear and the games become easier.Outside of tutoring, my favorite thing to do is play with my one-year-old mini Australian Shepard, Max. I also love to shop and read, especially memoirs. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions. I look forward to speaking with you soon!
I just completed my Master of Science in Public Policy degree at NYU Wagner, in which I specialized in a wide variety of topics including mathematics, statistics, economics, and political science. I also have extensive experience in applying these topics to real-world experiences. I got my undergraduate degree in economics and political science, with a minor in history, from The George Washington University in Washington, DC. In addition to my studies, I have worked at a variety of jobs and internships, including at a polling and strategy firm and as a research assistant to a published presidential historian.My strongest subjects are microeconomics, public economics, and American politics, and I am highly proficient in other areas in economics, high school mathematics, calculus I and European history.I hope that I can share my interest and passion for these subjects and help others achieve the same knowledge and enthusiasm.In my free time I enjoy playing golf and squash, reading, traveling and watching sports
I am a Composer and Pianist based in New York City. My background as a classical and jazz trained pianist, music director, and music administrator contribute to my understanding of the collaborative nature of music-making. I work with a wide variety of media, like film, video games, and dance. I believe it is very important for every person to be able to tune into their collaborators' creative impulses, intimately understand their vision, and understand how music heightens the impact of the work.
My mission is to teach young minds using creative techniques to make subjects fun to study and easier to understand.
I am currently a graduate student at NYU pursuing my Master's degree in Psychology. Before moving to New York, I completed my undergraduate degree at Stevenson University in Baltimore. During this time, I worked as a peer tutor for three and a half years, covering subjects such as math, writing skills, and psychology. While at Stevenson I also helped to pilot a program that worked with at risk students to strengthen their study skills and motivation.
With over ten years of tutoring and teaching experience and multiple advanced degrees, I am the ideal candidate to help students succeed in any academic environment. My educational background includes in-depth study in politics, philosophy, art history, and practical communication (public speaking and performing arts). Specifically, I have an MA in Performance Studies from New York University, an MA in Rhetorical Studies from Hofstra University, and a BA in Political Science (with an emphasis in international development and a philosophy minor).I have taught students of all age levels in public, private, and one-on-one settings. Some of my past experiences include: peer-tutoring throughout high school and my undergraduate education, substitute teaching English, history, government, speech/debate, and drama in a secondary school, organizing and teaching acting and technical theatre at a performing arts summer camp, teaching English, reading comprehension, and writing to gifted/advanced 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade students, and assistant coaching collegiate level speech and debate. It is most certainly apparent that my favorite subjects to tutor are writing, public speaking/debate, and performing arts.I want to work to promote a love of art and culture in my students as I am also a working artist. I act, write poetry, create conceptional performance art, and provide curatorial assistance to a gallery in North Brooklyn. You can be assured that any student I work with will cultivate writing, comprehension, and critical thinking skills that will serve them well throughout their academic and professional lives.
I am a certified English Language Arts and Reading teacher looking to work with Elementary, Middle, or High School students. My background focuses on grammar and writing, while I received a reading specialist degree during my Master's studies. I tutor students using reading strategies and spend a lot of my time helping high school and college level students with paper writing/editing.
I am a recent NYU grad, who studied Global Public Health and Biology, with a wealth of knowledge to share!
I have over ten years of tutoring and teaching experience at the college and grade school levels. As a PhD Linguist, I have a solid understanding of phonetics, second language acquisition, and cross-linguistic differences. I am also experienced with training students for American standardized tests including the SAT, ACT and GRE. These tests require endurance and confidence as well as fundamental skills, which means that all these components have to be learned, practiced, and nurtured equally for a student to achieve a truly excellent score. At the Yale Autism Clinic, I have worked with special needs children on academic achievement. Additionally, I have worked as a homework helper for both low and high achieving students.
I am a medical journalist with two years of tutoring experience in the city.A native New Yorker, I graduated from Hunter College High School and went to Williams College, where I majored in biology and Spanish. Afterwards, I got a Master's in science journalism from NYU. I have published science articles in The Atlantic, Popular Science, Audubon Magazine, Vice, and more.My goal is to make learning as highly efficient and fun as possible. Good communication and variety are key to my teaching style.
I am currently a PhD student in Comparative Literature at NYU and recently graduated from Haverford College where I majored in English. I am passionate about learning in all its forms, but most of my areas of expertise are centered in the humanities. While my research as a doctoral student ranges from early 20th century English literature to contemporary European philosophy, my tutoring interests are much more broad. I have always done quite well on standardized tests (particularly the English/Verbal portions), and love helping people prepare for them! I also enjoy tutoring reading, writing, literature and related fields at all levels! Additionally, I have great French skills (not 100% fluent, but very advanced) and am more than comfortable tutoring elementary to intermediate French. Finally, as someone who has done professional editing work, I will also add that I adore tutoring all forms of writing and have helped countless people with writing projects ranging from short stories and novellas, to academic essays and theses, to cover letters and personal statements for job and graduate school applications. I would also like to note that, having dealt with serious ADHD when I was younger, I more than understand the struggles that come with being an ADHD/ADD student and enjoy helping ADHD/ADD individuals find means to study that suit their own individual ways of learning. I had to learn many tricks along the way to make sure I stay organized, focused, and on top of my work, and I would love to share them with you! My tutoring philosophy is that everyone whether they are young or old, whether they have learning difficulties or they do not has a completely unique way of learning, and I excel at helping them find that way. No way is better or worse or makes someone more or less intelligent. I am a firm believer that "whatever works, works." Listen to music or don't, hand write your notes or type them up. The only correct solution is the one that helps you learn the material in the fastest amount of time with the most minimal amount of stress. We will figure out what works best for you.By way of conclusion, I will wrap up with you a few personal details. When I am not studying or tutoring, I enjoy cooking (especially French and Indian food!), playing blues/rock music, tinkering with and modifying my electric guitars, and running! My favorite color is red; my favorite place in the entire world is Paris (although I was only fortunate enough to spend time there once), and if I had to pick one song to listen to on repeat on a desert island for eternity, it would be "Atom Heart Mother Suite" by Pink Floyd. My friends describe me as personable, outgoing, down to earth, and above all, patient. I like to think they're right.
Hello! You've come to the right person for your academic needs. My specialties include college prep, AP prep, SAT prep, foreign language (Mandarin Chinese), and homework help. I have had experience teaching in tutoring agencies, after-school programs, in-school programs, non-profit settings, etc. I also have background knowledge in educational/developmental psychology, so I know what curriculums are out there and what educational approaches to take in tutoring sessions. A little about me- I am a graduate of Duke University, with a major in Psychology and minors in Art History and English. Currently, I am an MBA student studying Finance at NYU Stern. People say I am creative, empathetic, and kind. Relationships are very important to me, and I look forward to developing great relationships with my students. Thank you, Yuyi
I have been a passionate student of foreign languages since the beginning of my academic career. Ever since I was a child, I have held a deep fascination with languages, cultures, and ways of doing things foreign to my own. The fun thing is, the deeper I go into a foreign culture, the more I realize I have so much left to learn and experience. My language skills allow me to travel to far off lands and immerse myself and interact with non-English speakers. Did you know that Mandarin Chinese is the most widely-spoken language in the world, with almost 1 billion speakers across 12 countries? The next most widely-spoken language is Spanish, with around 400 million speakers across 31 countries! The third most-widely spoken language is English, which has over 335 million speakers, and as the modern *lingua franca* for international relations and commerce, is spoken in over 100 countries across the world! With mastery of these three global languages, you will find yourself capable of communicating with an enormous 25% of the entire global population! That's a lot of territory! Once you have the language basics down, there remains only one question to ask yourself: Where do you want to go? I look forward to preparing you for you own adventure
My name is Jessica and I am currently enrolled at New York University studying politics and economics. I teach early childhood students part time and love reading and writing. I have a 4.0 GPA and graduated high school at the top of my class.
I am currently a graduate student at NYU pursuing a Masters of Arts degree in English and American Literature. I graduated from Colgate University in 2014 with a double major in English Literature and Environmental Economics.I really enjoy tutoring test prep, especially the verbal and writing sections of the GRE and SAT, as mastering a few tricks and strategies of how to tackle these sections can make the tests much more approachable and fun. I also enjoy teaching essay writing and inspiring students to write captivating, unique college or graduate school essays. I recently spent an academic year tutoring middle school students in a Los Angeles public school.I am a firm believer in inquisitive, question-based learning. I have a lot of energy and love to share my joy of all things English and writing!Outside of school, I enjoy reading, creative writing, traveling, and spending time outdoors.
I am a tutor with 7 years' teaching experience. I love teaching and I'm really passionate about the way my students learn. I have worked with various learning centers. They taught me a lot about how to tailor my tutoring approach to the individual needs of my students. I'm in the process of being certified in elementary school. It has been wonderful learning about how childhood development changes with each year. I look forward to being able to work one on one with more children so that they can develop a lifelong passion for learning!
I am currently a senior at the Stern School of Business at NYU, graduating this semester. I am majoring in Management and Finance with a minor in History. Professionally I aligned to Strategy Consulting overall, but have numerous interests in M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital. I have tutored peers and students for the past 7 years of my life and I have always assumed a role of a mentor, instead of being a simple tutor. Tutoring in general is a perfect means of passing down tips and experience gathered over years of schooling that help numerous students, no matter where they are. Outside of all of these aspectes, I am an avid traveler and have a huge passion to touch every little piece of the globe. The world's various cultures and people have lived a different subset of experiences than we have in our Western society. The ability to open one's perspective to these varying views and approaches to life is a key element of learning and such experiences are critical to everyone's development. In teaching I always include all of my perspectives and insights, no matter the subject. I look forward to working closely with all of you!
