I'm a recent graduate of New York University with a double major in Acting and Psychology. I am from Kansas City, and currently live in NYC in the East Village. I am excited to tutor students to help them find more success in subjects they may struggle in or are excited to learn more about. I have been teaching kids ages 3-17 the last few years in various different places, and I can't wait to begin tutoring.

I am an Electrical and Computer engineer at NYU school of Engineering working towards his Bachelors degree. I have tutored kids in the past age 7 to 15, and I currently tutor on campus as a campus job when I am free. I help lower classmates (Freshmen and Sophomores) learn and better understand Calculus. I enjoy tutoring math and science because it is the fundamentals on which all engineering is based. I am here to help, in the many possible ways that each individual needs or would need.
Hi! My name is AJ Subudhi and I am currently a sophomore at the NYU Stern School of Business. My hobbies and interests include reading, exercising, and following sports such as baseball and tennis. I love Math, Spanish, and Grammar, and would love to help you if you are having trouble in any of those subjects!
I am currently a graduate student at New York University studying Economics. I did my undergrad in my home state at the University of Georgia, where my academic curiosity led me to choose a wide variety of classes that could be described as either "well rounded" or "deeply unfocused." After four years and three semesters abroad, I left with degrees in English and Economics and a minor in Ecology.I am flexible in what I can tutor, but I am particularly adept with usage for both academic and personal writing and with standardized testing. I have been editing informally for friends, classmates, and coworkers for as long as I can remember, and I endeavor to guide a writer's ability to analyze, organize, and captivate while encouraging his or her strengths. I began taking standardized tests with the ITBS in kindergarten and took at least one per year through grade school including ten AP exams and the PSAT with which I became a National Merit Scholar. I've learned that testing well requires as much skill as it does knowledge, and I look forward to helping students learn to recognize the type of questions testers create so that they can better figure out how to find the right answer.In my free time, I like sewing (very poorly), yoga, soccer, and pining after various adoptable animals around the City.
Born, raised and educated in Chicago, I moved to New York two years ago to pursue my Master's in French Studies at NYU! While I miss my hometown, I'm reveling in this most recent stop on my long and exciting academic path.When I was fourteen I was accepted into a high school enrichment program at the University of Chicago called the Collegiate Scholars Program. Along with roughly forty other students from Chicago Public High Schools, I spent the next three years studying under some of the greatest professors and graduate students in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences. The knowledge I gained from that experience helped me through my coursework and my college applications leading me on the track to continued academic success. The experience also taught me the importance of supplementary instruction and education. While many in the program came from schools with low college acceptance rates and families where college was not the norm, the program boasted a nearly 100% college acceptance rate. The support from the staff and the faculty gave us all the confidence and the tools needed to succeed.After graduating from the University of Chicago in 2011 I decided to take the skills I had learned from my time in the Collegiate Scholars Program and my time in college and apply them to the position of College Countdown Instructor. I led a class of forty students in the college application process. We drafted personal statements, conducted informed college searches, and scouted out scholarship applications. It was one of the most rewarding and significant experiences in my life to date and has inspired me to want to work more closely with students to help give them the same skills I found so helpful during my academic career.It would truly be my pleasure to combine my knowledge of the social sciences and humanities (as well as other subject areas in which I am proficient) with my teaching and instructing experience to help you on your path to academic success!
I received my EMT training at Boston University while on staff at Harvard Medical School in otolaryngology research. I am a NREMT-certified EMT holding licenses in Florida, Massachusetts and New York State. I'm currently a PhD student at Northwestern University, where I work with psychophysics, electrophysiology, neuroscience, and music. I hold degrees from NYU and UVA. I have a huge passion for EMT subject matter, where I specialize in trauma, medical/OBGYN, and EMS operations. Please let me know what you need the most help learning, and we'll create an individualized study plan to get you in a great place to pass the NREMT! I currently have a 100% NREMT pass rate with the students I've tutored, and I look forward to helping you reach your NREMT goals.
I graduated with honors from New York University where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Dramatic Literature. In the past I have tutored at an after school care program at an elementary school, and I have also worked with college students on essays. I am passionate about English, Literature, and Composition. I am excited to share my interests with others. I love writing, and I truly believe that essay writing and reading comprehension are skills that can be learned like anything else. Outside of tutoring, I am a screenwriter and actor, and I also love playing guitar and painting.
Hi! I'm a writer and a visual artist born in South Africa and raised around the world. For the past year, I've taught and tutored students in SAT, ACT, and reading and writing enrichment in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. I love reading, learning new things, and climbing rocks, and I travel whenever possible. The most important thing to me is movement: as long as I stay active, I'm happy.
I have tutored and/or taught mathematics to elementary, middle, and high school students over 20 years. I enjoy teaching high school mathematics the most, i.e. Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II, Trigonometry, Precalculus, and Calculus. I am passionate about teaching mathematics because education is about students developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills by forming relationships with their peers and teachers. In my classroom, students learn best and develop those relationships in a safe, respectful, challenging environment that fosters inquiry, authentic experiences, collaboration, and provides appropriate support.
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 have been tutoring since 2018 and am passionate about helping students recognize their potential and build confidence in their abilities. I believe every student has a unique learning style and deserves a supportive, patient, and encouraging environment. I enjoy building connections with students, making challenging concepts easier to understand, and celebrating their progress. My goal is to help students succeed academically while developing their confidence and independence.
Hi there! Please allow me to introduce myself. A little bit of a background on my education: I did my Undergraduate from Syracuse University in Bio-engineering and my Masters in Electrical Engineering from NYU Poly. I'm an Electrical Engineer with 12 years of experience between the defense industry and railroad. I'm currently waiting to start my certification program with the help of MIT's Professional Education program in Applied Business Analytics so I may make better business decisions that are data driven. I should be earning my certification by the end of this academic year.
I am most recently a graduate of New York University having received an MA in Applied Quantitative research. Previous to my graduate studies, I received a BA in Theatre and a BA in Sociology from the University of New Mexico. In the Fall of 2015 I will become a PhD candidate at the CUNY Graduate Center in Sociology. Other than tutoring, I also work as an instructor of English Language Arts as part of a weekend, after-school, and Summer program for 1st generation children in New York City. I tutor in a wide variety of subjects from Writing to Math to Social Studies. I am passionate about education because I believe it is the foundation for building a just society, and I enjoy teaching and learning from people of all ages from elementary to college-age. I especially enjoy preparing students for standardized testing, working to make a mandatory and unpleasant experience into something that can bring them pride and enjoyment. When not teaching and studying, my hobbies include working in Theatre doing everything from acting to set building to grant-writing.
I originally went to NYU for my BA majoring in Journalism and Economics and minoring in Business. While there, my team also won a grant for Social Entrepreneurship which sparked the passion for ethical business that I am currently perusing at FIT with a certificate in Sustainable Design. In high school I tutored middle school math and taught ballet in the summer and in college I took a class where we tutored ESL students in reading. I am so excited to share my love of math (I was even on the math team), reading and writing with students!
My experience encompasses both private tutoring and formal teaching. At the University of Richmond, I taught biweekly revision classes as part of the official French 221 course. My responsibilities included planning lessons covering grammar, vocabulary, and culture. During this same year I provided tutoring in French 221 to five student athletes. I worked with them four nights a week to review lessons, answer homework questions, and prepare for upcoming exams. In addition to my experience tutoring and teaching French, I have also served as a volunteer English as a Second Language teacher to adult immigrants in Richmond, VA. I spent the past year working as an English Language Assistant for the French Ministry of Education. My role as a language assistant involved leading small group discussions and creating original, culture and vocabulary-based lessons for English students in a vocational high school and general middle school. During this year I also provided private one-on-one tutoring to a French adult looking to improve his English listening and speaking skills.I enjoy teaching and tutoring because it allows me to share my passion for the French language. I particularly enjoy adapting my instruction to individual learning styles to best meet a student's needs and to see their knowledge of the language progress and expand. Seeing an individual make personal connections with the language and seeing the language take root in an individual's worldview or academic path are the most rewarding aspects of tutoring. For those reasons, I remain extremely dedicated to helping an individual meet their personal goals. At the same time, I recognize that learning a language is not a linear process. Therefore, I remain flexible to experimenting with multiple approaches to see which is the best fit.
I have been an educator for almost 30 years and have worked with children of all ages from kindergarten all the way to college and beyond. As a classroom teacher, I taught both elementary and high school. I am currently a high school counselor and the combination of all of my experience gives me a unique window into the world of education and college entrance. My experience, combined with my doctoral degree with a focus on learning disabilities, allows me a varied perspective while working with children. I work with the whole child and pride myself ion being able to meet each of my students where they are while pushing them to achieve more than they ever thought possible. As a mother of two children with dyslexia, I have seen first hand, the frustration and struggles that accompany learning challenges and I am here to help. In addition to my experience in education, I have also been writing for over 30 years and have had articles and poems published in multiple magazines and journals and have co-authored several medical journal articles related to food allergy and bullying and have also published two books about counseling and learning disabilities through Routledge Press.
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.
Hello! My name is Cindy. I currently live in San Antonio, TX, but I lived in New York for many years. I consider myself a lifetime NYer! I am passionate about tutoring and helping students to exceed their goals! My teaching style is warm, personable, engaging and fun! I care deeply about the wellbeing of my students, and try to incorporate their cultural backgrounds into my lessons. Let's have some fun!
I'm passionate about helping students with reading comprehension. I enjoy working with readers to learn where to look in a text for the different layers of an author's meaning. I also get excited about helping students think about how to express their ideas about a text in writing.
I honestly love tutoring. While working in finance and publishing over the past decade, I have independently tutored students from many premiere NY and NJ high schools and universities. I continued tutoring even after joining a major private equity firm because of how much I enjoy working one-on-one with students. Breaking down seemingly complex subjects is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master difficult material quickly.I have both a BA and MA in English from New York University.
Every now and then, when I allow myself to, I can remember my right hand anxiously flying across a lined sheet of paper with a #2 pencil held awkwardly, yet determinedly in my fingers. I remember the fast thoughts and the uncertain words finding their way from my head to my hand, miraculously arranged to make sense. I can remember how passionate I felt writing my first essay. These flashbacks are like dreams, silent whispers of the past that were written through the filter of untouched ideas that only fresh minds can encompass. These memories all add up to where I am today, a graduate of New York University. I have the power to affect change and share the truth in the most unbiased fashion possible. And now I wish to share the impact that English and writing has had on my life with others. Whether this means helping students with college essays or just proofreading assignments, a grasp on the English language has affected me greatly and now I wish to give that back.
I'm a student at NYU working on my BM in Vocal Performance. I'm energetic, cheerful, competitive, and I like thinking outside the box. I love figuring things out and learning things and am excited to get to know and teach you!
I attend the prestigious New York University where I continue my studies toward a degree in Creative Writing and Marketing. As a former contributing writer and editor for The Source Magazine and Bleu Magazine, I have covered stories in art, culture and politics. Whenever I am not writing, I perform as a poet on the college circuit or mentor students in the art of writing and performing poetry as part of Citizen Schools - an after school apprenticeship program for middle school children. I aspire to one day become a professor in English and Literature in hopes of spreading my passion for language to the next generation of young minds. I hope to continue to connect people through the power of words and storytelling.
As an award-winning journalist with 10 years of experience writing professionally, I have learned to write quickly, accurately, and with finesse. I can help you do the same. Whether you are prepping for a test, brushing up on grammar or applying for college, I can help you accomplish your writing and reading goals.I earned a Master of Science, with honors, in journalism from Columbia University and a bachelor's in history from New York University. In my career, I have worked both as a writer and an editor. I also have done work as a writing coach and copy editor for people applying for schools and grants and writing manuscripts.I love working one-on-one with people especially when I can help them succeed. My tutoring philosophy is that no two students are the same; I will adapt every session to an individuals' needs. I can help you work on your college essays, expository and persuasive writing, grammar, public speaking, and English.Outside of my work, I love travel--especially spontaneous road trips. I love to unwind after a long day by cooking and baking. And, of course, I love to read. I enjoy all kinds of works, especially history and long-form journalism.
I am a recent graduate from New York University with a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics and in French, with a minor in American Sign Language. While a student at NYU, I took advantage of America Reads, a fantastic work-study opportunity where I was able to work as a classroom tutor and student teacher in several classrooms around Manhattan. I was also lucky enough to complete a semester abroad in Paris, where I took courses (taught in French) on culture, politics, and literature taught by professors from partnered universities including Sciences Po and the Sorbonne.My greatest passion is linguistics and language in general. French has been my primary language of study for ten years, including theoretical research in college. I'm extremely interested in modern language, and how to turn mechanical textbook understanding into fluency and contemporary usage. (Sometimes textbooks age poorly in how they teach slang.) My pedagogical style is process-based and goal-oriented. I like students to set a goal (or several), collaborate with me on a process to achieve it, and then put the plan into action with individualized methodology and assessment.In my spare time, I work on fun Python coding projects, play the odd video game, read (currently working through Discworld), and dote on my pets.
I am a graduate of New York University where I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Middle Eastern and Islamic studies. While at school I also studied pre-medicine and I hope to go to medical school in the future. During my time at school I took as many opportunities as I could to visit other countries. I have lived in both the United Arab Emirates and France in order to pursue my foreign language goals. While I am able to tutor a breadth of subjects, my favorite to teach is writing because it enables students to be creative as well as hone skills in articulation and argument. I always look forward to meeting new students and hope to encourage them in all of their academic and non academic endeavors because I firmly believe both are important. In my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, drawing, and curling up with a good book.
Upon graduation from New York University (Philosophy), I taught the verbal section of the MCAT to prospective medical students in my home state of Virginia, after which I moved to New Orleans to teach Middle School Math and Science in low-income communities as an AmeriCorps member. I now tutor a broad range of subjects, specializing in standardized admissions tests through graduate levels. I am a firm proponent of education and its role in a fulfilling life. I try to impart this perspective to all of my students. Let's get to work!
As a tutor, I am aware that the student is the top priority. I want the student to reach their full potential under my tutoring and develop a rapport with them so that they feel comfortable reaching out to me. Accessibility is most important to me and it really enhances the tutoring experience.
I've been lucky throughout my tenure as a student to have received excellent instruction and individualized tutelage. As a result, I have always been a high-achieving in my scholastic efforts, and have seen firsthand the importance of education in pursuing my personal goals. I value the practice of pedagogy, and strive to develop my skills as a teacher as I work toward my PhD and eventually a career as a professor in communications and media studies.In my practice as a tutor, I want to pass on the gift of focused, encouraging, challenging instruction to students who are eager to learn. At the same time, I recognize the importance of validating students' efforts as they struggle to grasp new material. Learning is not easy, and requires a tailored approach based on individual needs and strengths. With this in mind, my goal is to identify students' assets as learners and use them to develop strategies that will enable students to master new material. Ideally, I will be able to facilitate the curiosity and passion that drives scholars at all levels to produce knowledge and enrich the world around us.I tutored students at the elementary and high school levels for three years while I completed my undergraduate degree, so I have on-the-ground experience with many kinds of learners at many levels. I provided support for English classes at the eighth and ninth grade levels, for all subject matters in a third grade classroom, and for all elementary ages in a science classroom. I immensely enjoyed these opportunities to work closely with young minds and to impart the knowledge and strategies I had learned as a student. English composition, mechanics, and grammar, as well as literature and social studies, have been some of my favorite areas to tutor students in, while science provided a challenge for me as a tutor. I enjoy the energy and passion that young people bring to the table, and hope to channel that into approaches to learning that students can use for the rest of their lives.My goal is to pursue a career as a professor. As I continue my research and move along in my PhD program, I am working to take advantage of every opportunity I can to develop as a pedagogue. I believe in the value and necessity of education at every level, and I recognize the unique privilege I have to receive such focused and encouraging instruction since my early years in public school. I want to pass those skills and that encouragement on to students who need it as I hone my practice as an instructor.
I attended a Montessori school as a child and one of the most important things I gained from that experience was a sense of ownership over my own learning. It is easy for students to feel like passive participants in their own education and whether a student thrives or struggles in school often has as much to do with whether they have learned to play the game of getting good grades as it does with actual learning. When I work with a student I strive to form a personal connection with them and between them and the subject we are working on with the goal of helping them not only achieve their short term goals, but approach the subject in a more positive, productive way. One of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my empathy and attention to each student's individual point of view; everybody has different ways of learning most productively and I strive not to drill in concepts, but to help students see how they can best approach material to make it intuitive and natural to themselves.
My passion for math and reading started at a very young age, but I quickly understood these subjects aren't fun for everyone. I started tutoring my peers in elementary school, and went on to organize formal peer tutoring groups in middle and high school, to help bridge gaps between teachers' expectations and my peers' reality.I've used my lifelong passion for math and problem solving to obtain my Master's degree in Computer Science, but I know that without a solid background in math and reading, my advanced degree would have been difficult to achieve.I prefer students to understand, from their unique point of view, why 1+1=2, why x*y=z or why "knock" only has one 'k' sound. Kids have a lot going on in their academic and personal lives, so I take time to talk to my students, take a few steps back from the problem and understand how they're tackling the problem. I've found that this conversation facilitates my understanding of how the student learns, and lends to their deeper understanding of concepts to apply to future, independent problem solving.
Through my professional experience as a Special Education middle school teacher, I have developed a unique toolkit of strategies to support students in mastering new and challenging skills. Central to my philosophy as an educator is the fact that all students are unique. These differences are not synamous with disadvantages. Different learning styles or varied personal interests are things to celebrate.By immediately identifying and leveraging an individual's strengths, I have helped students successfully overcome their weaknesses. With diverse strategies such as the use of mathematical models, pre-writing graphic organizers, and mnemonic self-monitoring reading strategies, my students have developed the ability to successfully demonstrate their knowledge.Through the use of formal and informal data collection, I am able to evaluate my successes and failures. Just as I say to my students, "failure is not final". Using my data, I am able to model resilience to my students by adapting my approach to best meet the individual needs of the student.In addition to my aforementioned pedagogical toolkit, I am a passionate learner. WIth my varied educational, professional, and personal experiences, I am able to tutor in a variety of content areas. Through my graduate education and experience as a teacher, I have expertise in teaching basic literacy through advanced algebraic math. My undergraduate experiences in Anthropology prepare me to support learners in writing organized, concise, and well-researched essays.Finally, my patience and love of learning equip me with the necessary characteristics to excel as a Varsity tutor.
