I am Ersi. I have lived in or near Manhattan for the past 10 years. Tutoring Math has always been my passion and something I feel in element doing.In life, I have traveled places, changed careers and gone through many challenges -Sometimes, they were good and sometimes, rough. But, I have always enjoyed when I learned something, and even more when others gain or do well at something with my help. I believe one can never "change" another person but can always "influence" others to grow.I enjoy bringing a positive and calm energy to lessons. I enjoy sharing with my students the methodology that had made me a top student, test taker or anything I have desired to do. I enjoy creating good results that students may have not thought was possible. I have unlimited patience for each of them. I hope they will not only learn effective skills for Math, but through time, develop good habits and self confidence.EducationColumbia University, NY Bachelor of Arts, Economics, Deans listUniversity of Maryland, MD Master of Science, Electrical EngineeringBeijing University of Telecommunications (China) Bachelor of Engineering

As a pharmacy student with degrees in biology and psychology, I find immense satisfaction in guiding students through my journey from obtaining a GED to pursuing pharmacy. My tutoring spans various subjects, with a focus on the GED, sciences, and mathematics from my college studies. I'm passionate about empowering students with effective study strategies and insights from my experiences. I prioritize creating a supportive learning atmosphere, fostering curiosity, and instilling confidence. Beyond academics, I dedicate time to personal growth and exploration. My expertise in multiple-choice exams, honed throughout my schooling, adds value to my tutoring approach.
Since high school, Ive had a great passion for science, particularly in biology and chemistry. As a senior, I interned at the National Cancer Institute in Frederick, MD. I enjoyed learning the techniques and developed problem solving skills. This led me to pursuing my BS in Biological Sciences at University of Maryland, Baltimore County. While there, my professors trained us how to process problems and come to answers using critical thinking skills. We were taught to not simply memorize answers, but to understand them.This way of analyzing and learning science is what drives my approach to teaching. I try and share my passion with other students and guide them through more efficient ways of learning. I hope that by helping them analyze problems and understand solutions, they too will develop a passion for the topics.In addition to helping students master their material, I also prioritize general encouragement. Its important to me to build a relationship with the student and know where their interests lay. I want to be able to talk to them about their goals and visions for their future, and be able to share with them what my experiences have taught me. Education is so important, and I believe that by constant positive words of encouragement, students will sustain the desire to move forward with their schooling and earn their degrees with pride.
I am a graduate of University of Maryland, Baltimore County where I received my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with Honors. During the summer of 2017, I traveled through Europe in a study abroad program and studied Jurisprudence and Ethics in Health Care. During college I've worked as a teaching assistant and tutored privately before. I am passionate about helping others to reach their full potential, and I love giving advice about anyone who would like to pursue a medical career. I am currently a medical student at Penn State College of Medicine
I am available to tutor all subjects including Mathematics, English, and Chemistry I courses). (Grades 1 - 12 plus College-levels). Also have extensive experience with PSATs, ACTs, SATs, GRE and GMAT prep.. Foundation work and reading comprehension improvement programs. 20+ years Experience.

Hey I'm Uchenna! I'm from Beltsville, MD and I currently am taking a year off between my third and fourth years at the University of Michigan Medical School to do biomedical research at the NIH. I also graduated magna cum laude from the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) with a B.S. in Biochemistry and a minor in Psychology. I have quite a few years of tutoring under my belt as I tutored for about 3 years when I was at UMBC. And although I had no formal tutoring positions in medical school, my classmates and I constantly taught each other our material and various concepts. I love tutoring because I know trying to be successful in your coursework can be difficult and when you can help someone throughout that journey, it truly is beneficial for both tutee and tutor seeing the mutual satisfaction in that person's progress.I have always been fairly good at math and this was no different on the SATs. Through hard work and preparation, the SAT math section proved to be my best individual score with a 760. I also took the Math Subject Test and did well on that as well. I have an extensive background in mathematics from algebra, geometry, trigonometry, pre-calculus, and calculus from the elementary up to college-level difficulty and I make it my goal to help students understand what sometimes does feel like another language of numbers.Throughout my entire life I have always been passionate about science. It is what eventually led me into pursuing a Biochemistry degree in college and ultimately the field of medicine. I have always understood scientific subjects well and naturally, it helped me tutor a variety of subjects (chemistry, organic chemistry, biology, physics, etc.) in high school and college. I believe that your progress in science courses depends on learning fundamental concepts and constantly building on them which is something I always strive to do and work with tutees on.Please don't hesitate to reach out! I would love to help you in whatever STEM or test prep class that I can to help you reach your goals. I will do my best to respond promptly as well. Looking forward to working with you!
Hey there, I'm Iskandar! I'm a pre-medical post-baccalaureate student, entering my last year of coursework before medical school, and have a very strong academic background in biology, chemistry, and human anatomy. On top of my classwork experience, I also have over a year of biology research experience, specializing in molecular biology and neuroscience. My main areas of academic and professional interest are in medicine - especially emergency medicine - as well as clinical and biomedical research. I'm an extroverted and adaptable person, and often use analogies in my explanations, so I aim to fill in any knowledge gaps by showing things from another angle. My first step is to know what you understand well and what you're struggling with, so that we can work on the weak spots without rehashing things that you're already comfortable with.
I am a graduate from the University of Maryland: Baltimore County, and I received my degree in Geography and Environmental Science, which is fun stuff like geology and hurricane studies. I was a tutor for 2 years at my university, and I got lots of experience with figuring out individual learning styles and different ways to approach education. I've always been most excited about taking and teaching STEM classes. I love being able to teach science and math the most because they have a reputation for being really difficult, and I love breaking down concepts into bite-sized components that are easier to think about. My teaching style focuses heavily on content understanding, instead of just short-term application. I find students are able to excel much more when they're given time to be able to break down content and thoroughly explore how and why it works.
I am a graduate of University of Maryland, Baltimore County. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry in 2017. Throughout college and since graduation, I have been working on organic chemistry projects and started my PhD career in 2018. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chemistry, Mathematics, and Spanish. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for these subjects and seeing them better understand the material is the most rewarding part of tutoring and teaching. I've been a teaching fellow for organic chemistry labs since 2018 and understand every student has different hardships and approaches to any school material. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. I don't think anyone should shy away from learning about any material that interests them. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, crossword puzzles, watching movies, along with running and watching baseball with others.
I am a mathematics and computer engineering student at the University of Maryland: Baltimore County. Last summer, I did math research into ordinary differential equations. I tutor in mathematics, computer science, and engineering for middle school, high school, and college students. Using my background, I can tutor students who as more theoretically or practically oriented and can bring explanations or examples from either area. My interests outside of school are reading and weightlifting.
Becoming a teacher has always been my lifelong dream. I grew up watching my mom come home every day after school, and while she complained about how bad her middle school students were, I could always see the impact she had on them and that was what I wanted to achieve as well. To begin my experience in teaching, I started out with the closest source: my church's children's ministry. Through this, I taught and sat in classes from babies all the way to 6th grade. Being there in the classroom made me feel like I was impacting the lives of the children learning there and I realized that this is what I wanted. This is what I aimed for as a teacher. I went to Howard Community College in 2018 and since then, I have gone through 3 transitions in majors, from Audio, Visual, Media Production (AVMP) to Early Childhood Education, to Elementary Education/Special Education, and finally settling on, and graduating with, an Associate of Arts in Elementary Education. At the same time, I attended the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) where I studied as an English major on the Elementary Education certification pathway. With an AA already in my hand, I'm working towards a Bachelor's in English Literature, but my true aim is to be an Elementary School teacher, with English as my specialty. But other than English, I teach Math and Mandarin Chinese. I chose these two subjects because these are the two I have the highest confidence in when it comes to imparting knowledge. If I had to pick my favorite, however, it would be English as well. I chose English because it's my area of study, but also because it's what I have the highest confidence in when teaching Elementary School. When I teach or tutor, I believe in allowing students to learn through connections. It's not enough to give the information to them straight, you've got to make it connect with them somehow. Also, I believe in a welcoming learning environment, where students can learn in peace. I aim to work hard and do the best I can, and I understand that not every student is a good one, but that will not stop me from doing my job to the best of my ability. But when I'm not doing my job, I like to read books and travel and enjoy my alone time.
I am a graduate of University of Maryland, Baltimore County and Bowie State University. I received my B.A. in English at UMBC and my master's degree in Public Administration at BSU. I have tutored and helped students for a few years in the past, and I love watching them succeed in academics. My favorite subjects to tutor are English, literature, and writing. I believe education is very important, and I want to help as many people as I can so they can do well in school and accomplish their goals.

I am a recent graduate of UMBC with a double major in Math and Computer Science and I have a desire to put my passion for these subjects to the use of helping others. I have formally been a tutor for numerous peers throughout my years in high school and college, worked as a teacher at a coding summer camp, and have also been the go to resource for all my friends and family for math help since a very young age. Making learning fun and engaging is my main focus as a tutor and it also happens to be something I'm good at! I always enjoy the challenge of finding the best ways to help people understand mathematical and technical concepts. I'm also skilled with technology like Desmos and Wolfram Alpha which I can use to greatly enhance the learning experience.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in English from the University of Maryland and a Master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Notre Dame University of Maryland. I was in the very first graduating class from Notre Dame for their newly minted TESOL program, and really enjoyed learning from my advisor and instructor who developed the program. I taught briefly at local community colleges in Maryland while working on my degree and stuck with it for a couple of years after graduation. My first official teaching gig out of college was for an advanced class of ESL learners who were studying for the TOEFL. This class, as it turned out, was almost completely full of young nannies from all over the world for whom taking English classes was a requirement, and two non-nannies who happened to be young Italian men. It was a FUN semester! My target students were young adults -- high schoolers, college students, or older -- for whom English was not their first language. I enjoy focusing on the advanced grammar, reading, and writing classes with this population, probably because I really enjoyed my own English lit and grammar classes in high school and college. I find many of my adult and "almost-adult" students are engaged and eager to learn. The highlight of many of those classes was having students proclaim they learned a lot and like reading and writing and grammar a lot more than they used to. It's extremely rewarding to know that someone feels more comfortable in these subjects than they did before, and that I had a part in helping with that. I enjoy reading and writing and don't shy away from speaking, though I rarely have cause for that. In my professional career, I have also worked as a business writer and editor and project manager, mainly in the IT field. Given that experience, I was asked to teach professional writing classes, which I did for an adult population, as well, and really enjoyed; it combined my love of English and teaching with my everyday job tasks and made for an easy application to "real life" for the students who were new to business writing. When I am not in front of a computer or reading a book, I prefer to spend spare time outdoors as much as possible, including on the sidelines at sports events, if I can't be hiking or otherwise exploring somewhere.
Let's have some fun learning math together, whether it is improving your skills, preparing for an upcoming test, I am here to help you succeed!!! Passionate math teacher with 5 years teaching experience in high school. 1 year international experience teaching in Shanghai.
I am deeply passionate about growth. Tutoring students for algebra and geometry is something I really look forward to. I have had success as a business statistics and calculus tutor in the past - when I was a student in college. Inculcating a love for math in my students is an ideal I strive for. Eradicating fear of math, in students, is a goal I have and am confident that I will be able to achieve that.
