I am an engineer with a masters degree from UC Berkeley in Mechanical engineering. I like to tutor math and engineering topics. I am glad to share my knowledge with you.

I'm a graduate of the University of Washington in Seattle where I received my MFA in Acting from the School of Drama. I did myundergraduate work in Theatre and Performance Studies at the University of California, Berkeley.Since relocating to Manhattan from the West Coast, I've had the great fortune to teach in a variety of settings-- from privatetutoring, to lead teaching at ESL Language Schools, to leading literacy-based theater residencies in the public school system. My earliestteaching experiences were in college-level English and ESL-- I'm a CELTA-certified ESL teacher, and have always been passionate aboutlanguage and literacy. In recent years, however, I've also been working more and more on privately tutoring Language Arts, Humanities,and Test Prep (SAT, AP, TOEFL) with students at the middle and high school level. I love the challenge of tailoring my lessons to an individual student's needs, and the rewarding process of helping a student find the specific approach and skill set that works for him or her. I thinkit's vitally important to give my students the skills they need to go on and work independently-- so I look at tutoring as partof the developmental process that will have lasting, tangible results.As a parallel to my teaching work, I'm an actor and playwright. In my spare time I love exploring new neighborhoods, traveling, cooking(and eating!) and watching movies.

Hello All,I am a San Francisco Bay Area native recently transplanted to the White Plains area to study the Biomedical Sciences! I have tutored students K-12 continuously since middle school, and I specialize in tutoring Math. I have helped failing students not only get passing marks but even top marks, helped B students to A's, and help A students get A+'s. I focus on helping students master their fundamentals, as well as teach the tips and tricks they need to conquer any question.

I earned my MFA in creative writing from Portland State University and my BA in English from the University of California, Berkeley. These days I teach writing and publishing at Portland State University and Portland Community College, and I have taught creative, academic, and professional writing, including college application essays and publisher query letters. When I am not teaching, I write fiction (my debut book, From the Caves, won several national awards) and my shorter works have appeared in Poets & Writers, Longreads, The Kenyon Review, CRAFT Literary Magazine, New Orleans Review, and elsewhere.

I studied computer science and statistics in college. Since late high school I have had a regular teaching commitment, whether it was helping younger students prepare for standardized tests or TA'ing for college courses. I can tutor very effectively across a variety of math, computer science, and statistics subjects, but am most passionate and have the most 1-on-1 experience in probability and statistics and test prep. I believe that anyone with a good amount of motivation can learn what they desire to a high level with the correct help, and I find the experience of providing that help very rewarding and actively seek opportunities to do so.

Hi, my name is Michael, and I would love to support you in learning with joy and confidence.I completed my undergraduate studies at UC Berkeley, where I double majored in Economics and Business Administration while developing strong analytical and critical thinking skills along the way. While at Berkeley, I also tutored student athletes in math, economics, and statistics; guiding them to progress and excel in their studies by helping them learn the material in a way that they could easily metabolize.In the corporate world, I worked in Finance as well as Operations. In those jobs, I learned how to work effectively on a team to reach company goals, and how to train interns and entry-level employees best practices at the workplace. Outside of the job, I trained as a yoga teacher and subsequently taught a weekly class for over two years. As a yoga teacher, I learned how to create an environment of ease and relaxation, and to be able to meet students wherever they were in their practice. In addition to teaching yoga, I privately tutored students in algebra, geometry, and statistics. I helped each student I worked with gain a deeper understanding of each subject, while presenting them with possibilities on how these subjects have practical real-world applications that would be relevant to the students.After exploring classes and workshops outside of work, I fell in love with acting, and decided to embark on a new path by entering graduate school at USC to pursue my MFA in Acting. Through deep and extensive work on acting, movement, voice, and improvisation, I became a significantly more clear, compelling, and effective communicator.I have been consistently passionate about learning throughout the course of my life, and am strongly intent on sharing the gift of learning with students through tutoring. I believe that as a tutor, I not only provide effective strategies for learning and improving grades, but I can offer a unique and expansive point of view that comes from my diverse, holistic, and integrated background.I'd love to work together if we're a good match!Sincerely,Michael Khachanov

I earned a master's degree in physics at UC Berkeley and two bachelor's degrees in physics and mathematics at Penn State. I taught university physics courses and community college mathematics courses. I have tutored both physics and mathematics for the last three decades. And I enjoy the heck out of teaching. I believe that general problem-solving skills are more valuable than content knowledge. To develop good physical intuition and problem-solving skills, one needs to practice regularly, just like learning a language. There is no shortcut. Learning activities are based on experience, which involves making errors and reflecting on them. Whether I teach a class or tutor a student individually, I always stress that every problem-solving step has a rationale. If the student makes a mistake, but can justify their approach, then we can fix both the mistake and the logic, and the student will benefit from their error. However, if the student makes a mistake, but cannot articulate their thought process, they will not learn anything.

Almost seven years ago, in the highly diverse, academically rich environment of the San Francisco Bay Area, I began my professional tutoring career with one of the national names in test prep. With them I learned the value of working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series. I currently assist students in Liberal Arts Studies through the Writing Center at the Juilliard School, and I continue to teach lessons in music. My enthusiasm for working with students continues to grow as I meet more capable, intelligent young people who often just need insight into how to tackle the mass of material they receive in the classroom. My background is as a classically trained singer, and I know first-hand the value of seeking the best help to improve one’s skills. I moved to New York City to continue my own development as a performer at the highest level, and I appreciate the will to aspire that this city instills. I enjoy clearly communicating complex ideas to students and, not just delivering content, continually checking in for actual understanding and growth. With so much experience in test prep, I know the importance of helping students feel empowered to replicate the confidence gained in a tutoring session in the classroom and on test day.

Having worked as a tutor many times in the past, I understand the importance of connecting to one's students and developing a strong relationship, which fosters the student's growth and improvement. I always focus on my student's weak areas in order to help him/her strengthen them. I also work with them to understand why they are having trouble. I try to approach the problems in different ways to allow my student to think about the problem from different angles, and I help my students think logically and efficiently about tackling solutions. Lastly, I push my students to continue practicing so they don't get complacent. Even if they are strong in a certain area, I encourage them to try additional difficult problems to reinforce their knowledge. I look forward to meeting you, teaching you and growing with you to become a successful student!

I'm an undergraduate at UC Berkeley with two years currently under my belt and the intention to double major in anthropology and biology. My focus is on understanding human biological and social origins through analysis of human artifacts, biological remains, and environmental reconstruction, with a parallel interest in preservation strategies. Outside of academics, I'm passionate about all manner of developing sciences and technologies as well as current events and the history behind them.When it comes to tutoring, I try to understand how a student is thinking about a problem before deciding on a specific course of action. My job isn't to be a second lecturer, and the reason that I'm there is often that simple lecture isn't sufficient, so going for an approach that is personalized for the student is essential.

I am an energetic, effective, and experienced teacher. After completing my B.A. in English with Philosophy Minor from UC Berkeley, I lived in Rome, Italy for two years where I taught English as a Second Language. During this time, I discovered that I had a passion and a gift for teaching.I completed my PhD in Comparative Literature with an emphasis on Latin American Studies from UC Los Angeles in 2009. While at UCLA I taught courses in Comparative Literature (Great Books), Writing Composition, and Spanish. From 2010-2014, I was Visiting Assistant Professor of Spanish at Whitman College. I am currently Visiting Assistant Professor of Humanities at Lewis and Clark College where I teach courses in the Core curriculum and Spanish. My objective is to connect with students and stimulate intellectual curiosity, which I believe is the key to learning.

My goal as a teacher is to create an educational environment that encourages both instructor and students to learn and to grow as learners through authentic experience, collaboration with one another, and active engagement with material. I believe that the role of a teacher is not to merely tell content to a student, but rather to act as navigator while the student propels him or herself forward into the uncharted terrain of a new subject. My teaching style focuses on helping students take ownership of their learning so that they continue to succeed long after working with me.I received both my undergraduate and graduate degrees from the University of California, Berkeley in Religious Studies and Folklore respectively. I wrote my Masters Thesis on the Culture and Music of American Jewish summer camp, and am currently in the process of turning my thesis into a book. Over the last several years, in addition to earning my Masters Degree, I have also taught in a variety of capacities ranging from rock 'n' roll school to children's music to leading discussion sections for Berkeley undergraduates as a Graduate Student Instructor.While I teach a variety of subjects, I am most passionate about helping students edit their own writing and develop their literary voice. Although knowledge of math, science, and history are vital, expressing oneself in writing is perhaps the most difficult yet critically important skill for succeeding in our society. As one who has struggled with writing in the past but now feels ownership over his voice, I find helping others develop their writing and editing techniques to be incredibly rewarding.When I am not teaching or writing, I enjoy playing guitar and singing with other people, playing and watching basketball, watching football, and hiking in nature.
