I graduated from the University of Miami with a BS in Physics. While in high school, I attended math competitions across the country including one at Princeton University and another at New York University. My love for mathematics eventually led to virtual tutoring through Florida Virtual School where I tutored over 150 hours in Pre-Calculus, Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, and Chemistry. I love to teach because it lets me share my enthusiasm for mathematics and science with other students and helps me get a deeper understanding of material that is useful for my higher level mathematics and physics courses. As a tutor, I break down complicated problems into manageable concepts so students can gain confidence in solving these problems on their own.

I am a graduate of Cornell University (B.A.) and the University of Miami (M.S.Ed.). I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy with a minor in Women's Studies. I also earned my masters in education where I did research on literacy and writing strategies for students in grades 6-12. For the past 6 years I've been teaching ELA for 9th and 10th graders in Miami, FL. I've also tutored students who were struggling to prepare for Standardized Tests in the areas of Critical Reading and Writing exams. I firmly believe that any student can learn the literacy skills necessary to navigate the world.

Hi,My name is Martin. I have a Bachelor degree in Biology from the University of Miami, and I am currently working on an MPH with the American Military University.I love teaching, and I am excited to work with the students here.

I am a second year medical student at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine where I hold a degree in engineering from as well. I have tutored for the SAT exam during my undergraduate studies at the University of Miami (GO CANES!), and have lots of experience helping students prepare for courses. I'm patient and willing to repeat instructions multiple times, and I believe the only stupid question is a question you already know the answer to, meaning that I will answer any and all of the simplest questions. In my spare time I enjoying reading almost everything I can get my hands on, playing violin and singing in various shades of talent depending on the amount of privacy I have. I also enjoy watching and playing sports especially football, soccer and watching not playing basketball. I'm a firm believer in interactive learning walking through things in order to get the result.

Hello! My name is Noah Damiani, and I want to take this opportunity to share a little about myself to give you a better idea of my passions, interests, and work ethic. I am currently finishing the last course of my undergraduate career at the University of Miami, and I plan to graduate with my degree in business economics next semester. I have been accepted to the University of Miami School of Law as I plan to pursue my juris doctorate over the next few years.Throughout my undergraduate and professional career, I have become extremely acquainted with business, namely accounting. I am currently working full-time as an accounting manager at a medical consulting distribution company. I am also quite strong in Mathematics and have expertise in Applied Mathematics (linear regressions), Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Analytical number theory (Pre-Calculus and Calculus). I also have a broad background in the natural sciences, including biology. There are a number of other courses that I have expertise in which I would love to share with you if given the opportunity.I have approximately 3 years of tutoring experience. I was apart of a mentorship program in high school in which I was tasked with assisting students who struggled with their curriculum. I have also tutored acquaintances throughout college over the years. I am impassioned in my belief that the institution of education serves a vital role not only in advancing society, but also in the ability to better one's future. That is the main reason that I have taken an appreciation for tutoring. I, myself, have greatly benefitted from getting tutored. And I feel obligated to pass on my knowledge if given the opportunity to do so.My tutoring style is one of structure and practice. While it will depend on the subject being taught, a general tutor session would consist of reviewing short practice problems assigned to students in a previous session to figure out where their weaknesses are and to address them. I would then move onto the next lesson, keeping pace with their school curriculum or whatever study schedule they are on for a standardized exam. I will provide supplementary materials such as practice problems and notes for students to refresh upon later on. I view tutoring as an extension of the classroom, so I plan to teach the material in a way that incorporates similar strategies to those taught in school. In order to ensure students are motivated in reaching their goals of academic success, I always encourage them for their progress. I will never fault or blame a student for their lack of understanding, but I would instead try to figure out where the source of confusion is coming from.Outside of tutoring, work, and school, I am usually taking my dog on walks or going to the beach. Though I like to keep myself busy with my academic and professional life, I still enjoy trying new things and going new places.It is my hope that you were able to get a good idea of who I am, my expertise, and my strategies for tutoring. Thank you for taking the time to read through my statement, and I look forward to working with you!

I am currently a law student at Barry University. I graduated from the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Masters of Business Administration in Management Information Systems, Marketing and E-Commerce. I have taught College Preparation Writing at Miami-Dade College.I work with students from 2nd grade up to college level in Writing, English, Literature, College Essay Writing, U.S. History, Government and SAT Prep AP subjects.In my spare time I like to travel, read and listen to various genres of music. I have traveled throughout the continental United States, South Africa, London, Canada and the Caribbean.

David Sanchez is a writer and English professor from Tampa, FL. He is currently a James A. Michener Creative Writing Fellow at the University of Miami where he is an MFA candidate in fiction. He also teaches English composition and creative writing at UM. His poetry and fiction have been published in Thread Literary Inquiry, The Missing Slate: International Literature & Art Magazine, and Momma Tried Magazine.

In my view, the learning and teaching processes are intimately connected. They are most effective if one feeds off of the other. The attitude and enthusiasm I bring to their training is also crucial to keep them interested, nurturing their curiosity and making learning fun. To engage students in the classroom I believe that a combination of main stream and dynamic methods are best. For a larger group, a well-prepared slide presentation will be effective. However, getting students to actively participate, and being part of the class will go further in making a long-lasting impact. In my experience, breaking larger classes into groups and encouraging them to interact with each other, will make the learning topics more amenable and students will be more comfortable asking questions. When teaching smaller groups, I prefer to use the board and encourage students to communicate what they have learned using this method as well. Visual aids are efficient in conveying the message we teach, but using a chalk talk tests your core knowledge of the topic and facilitates the simplification of concepts that may present as intimidating. Independently of the teaching method, the goal is to reach every student, taking into consideration that not all of them will respond to learning in the same way. I strongly encourage team work, taking full advantage of every one's individual strengths, by having them benefit the whole group. An effective strategy to promote collaboration among students in the lab is to have them share their expertise with each other. Although students may show interest in different fields of study, there may come the time when they will need to learn a technique or skill they had not encountered before. Being able to recognize and reach out to other group members who are proficient in that field will be invaluable as they learn how to network and build professional relationships.Throughout my academic career I have trained students from many backgrounds. While in graduate school in Miami, I mentored students from a local community college and my own Ph.D. program, exposing me to a wide range of cultures and points of view that enriched my own experience as a student. My Ph.D. lab was very diverse, including members from at least seven countries.I am personally motivated to broaden my mentoring focus to engage underrepresented communities at the high school and college levels. It is important for students in these groups to see a path in science for them, as there was one for me, as a Cuban immigrant woman who had to navigate an unfamiliar American education system while adapting to a new culture. Not being familiar with the academic requirements and datelines involved in transitioning from one stage to the next in my academic journey contributed to unnecessary hardships that could have been avoided had I been exposed to the proper information and resources.Despite the difficulties I encountered at different stages of my career, I was able to find opportunities to support my academic endeavors. I was awarded several scholarships at the college level that made my attendance to the University of Miami attainable. In graduate school I was awarded a four-year NIH fellowship that supports minority women in science, and during my first year as a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard, I was awarded the Dean's postdoctoral fellowship, specifically created to support underrepresented postdocs. As a mentor, I will share my experience and guide underrepresented students and fellows through funding and learning opportunities created to support their academic development.

***MUST BRING OWN MATERIALS IF IT IS HOMEWORK AND I MUST BE ABLE TO REVIEW PRIOR***I am a STEM & test prep tutor with a knack for writing!Shalom! My name is Samantha but you can call me Sammie Jo or just Sammie. I was born and raised in Cleveland, OH - graduated from Strongsville High School in 2013 with a 4.3 GPA and number 30 of roughly 600 students. I have 5 brothers and sisters who are my best friends. Looking for a new adventure, I accepted my spot at the University of Miami. I was rather the major-changer at first, dropping the very competitive neuroscience program I was part of my freshman year only in exchange for curiosity in fields like math and philosophy. After that, I found my true love, chemistry. While chemistry does not have the most beautiful reputation among many, it is with no doubt what I love and thus, I decided to major in it earning a 3.7 chemistry GPA by senior year. My minors are in math and psychology, but I do have substantial knowledge in physics and philosophy.Unfortunately, I went through some health struggles and was out of school for a year and a half, still determined to get those 3 classes done and be a graduated Cane! I moved back to Cleveland for treatment and to be with my family. Miami has been incredible to allowing me to take the 3 courses I need to graduate at Case Western Reserve University so I can get 100% healthy at home. I plan to officially have a BS from the University of Miami in Chemistry with minors in math and psychology by May 2019.I am always happy to expand on any of the mentioned above, but just want to give a summary more or less and not a life story.As far as Tutoring goes, I do have substantial experience, though it is freelance. See my subjects for what I can tutor - I do specialize in math, ACT, and chemistry- I am a writer - as a hobby, I blog, but I am an excellent editor and score in the 99% percentile in any instance for writing on a test (ACT, SAT, GRE)I think that hits all the bases of how I can be available to you. I'm primarily a problem solver, so I really like to be able to look at step-by-step ways to solve a problem because it can be daunting. But, I believe in me and I believe in you! Let's do this!

I'm a drummer who has a passion for tutoring music and math. I received my Masters in Music from NYU and a BA in Music from the University of Miami along with a Minor in Mathematics. I enjoy working with students because I have incredibly fond memories of those educators who inspired my when I was younger and I want to create those same bonds with the younger generations. I have worked with students K-12 both in the classroom and privately. I tutor all levels of math including algebra geometry, trigonometry, as well as general music, music theory, and drums/percussion. I love teaching math because I love puzzles, and I consider math to have some of the most interesting puzzles waiting to be solved! My approach is that there is always more than one way to arrive at the answer to a problem, I'm simply here to find what solution works best for each of my students. Perhaps right now you're not the biggest fan of math or music, but I'm here to change that!

I am a graduate of the University of Miami with a Bachelor of Science in Health Science and Psychology. I am currently working as a medical scribe upon matriculation into medical school. I worked as a tutor for Kumon Learning Center while in high school and continued to tutor during college.My favorite students to work with are elementary and middle school students, but I am able to help with high school students as well. I have the most experience in tutoring reading, math and science-related subjects.My teaching style embodies two main qualities, the development of productive habits and exposure to a wide variety of study methods. I believe in consistent encouragement and repetition in order to achieve one's desired academic success.In my free time, I enjoy playing basketball with my friends, going running and working out at least 4 times a week.

I am a 22-year-old medical student. In college, I triple majored in Theoretical Mathematics, Computer Science, and Chemistry.

My name is Tyler Busby and I'm from Las Vegas, NV. I am currently a junior at the University of Miami majoring in Industrial Engineering with a double minor in Mathematics and Economics. My hobbies include laying by the pool and listening to new music.

If you had asked me in middle school what my favorite subject in school was, I'd have told you, "History!" and that was closely followed by English. I've always loved the power of storytelling to help us to learn about the past, the present, and perhaps most importantly, ourselves. It came as no surprise to my family and friends that I chose to major in history in college. As an undergraduate, I attended Ohio State University and completed my degree at Otterbein College, a small liberal arts school in Columbus, Ohio. Not content to simply read about history and the great works of literature, I pursued my M.A. and Ph.D in American history at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida, where I learned to create my own stories about the past.Now that I have completed my Ph.D., I finally get to focus my attention on sharing my passion for storytelling with others. I like to work with students of all ages. I have taught courses at the college level, and I've worked with high school students as well. I have two younger brothers in middle school, so I feel especially attuned to the psyche of that age group. In order to finish my degree in history, I wrote a 400 page dissertation and completed a field of study in English. Through this experience and my classroom teaching, I am well versed in the English language and can help you or your children not only to learn history, but also how to improve their reading and writing. If like me, your aim is to attend graduate school, I can also help you to prepare for the GRE verbal. I took the GRE twice and raised my score dramatically the second time through a combination of hard work and learning smart test taking strategies. I'd love to share that knowledge with others.While I'm certainly an expert in my field, I'm very friendly and down-to-earth. In my free time, I enjoy binge watching Netflix, cooking, shopping, hiking, watching Buckeye football, exercising, and playing soccer and tennis. In their evaluations of my teaching, students consistently commented that I was "nice," approachable, understanding, and communicated information clearly. Whether you struggle to learn the subject material, to get organized with your assignments or even just motivated to complete them, I am here to help and to boost your confidence in the process!

I'm a lifelong reader and a graduate of the University of Miami with a degree in English Literature and International Studies. I work with students from elementary to college level on Reading Comprehension,English, Essay Writing, Phonics, SSAT, and SAT test prep. As a tutor, I create individualized and goal oriented strategies for my students in order to facilitate their success.My interests include reading (unsurprisingly), running, cooking, and traveling; I recently studied abroad in Argentina and hope to see more of the world in the future. I also love puzzles and enjoy a good challenge.

I am a graduate of Miami University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Business Management with a focus on Organizational Behavior. Since graduation, I have lived in Colorado, Ohio, and now currently live outside Washington, DC. I spent over 20 years in the IT business as a programmer, project manager, software architect, and client relationship manager. After retiring from corporate life I have spent my days doing things I love to do - providing assistance and mentoring to children, adolescents, and young adults. I have taught English and Computer Applications at the middle school level and Life Skills for autistic kids. In addition to teaching in the public school system, I do private one-on-one behavior therapy with autistic children. I am a firm proponent of taking a steady and affiliative approach to education, believing it to be the most effective way of improving the quality of learning and life.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, where I received my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. I also earned a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of California Irvine. In my eight years of tutoring and teaching, I have worked with teens and adults across the United States, as well as two years teaching young children in Japan. My tutoring specialty is in Verbal, Writing, and Critical Reading for the GRE, SAT, and ACT, but I have an overall passion for English language and literature. I believe that the best teaching is usually calm and fun, which springs from a personal relationship based on care and trust for one another. When I'm not teaching, I enjoy writing, cooking (especially vegetarian and gluten-free/allergen-free cuisines), running, and traveling to new cities.

I graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in Business Management. After graduation, I pursued opportunities in the non-profit and government sectors. I also travelled and explored owning my own business. I am a business, financial and life coach.

I am a University of Miami alumna, and graduated summa cum laude in 2012 with a B.A. in English Literature and a minor in History. During my time at the University of Miami, I worked as a tutor for the University’s Athletic Academic Services, where I tutored student athletes in a variety of subjects, and helped them devise study schedules that maximized their academic success. Since then, I have worked as a full-time tutor in a Massachusetts high school, where I provided focused Math instruction to a personal caseload of 12 ninth and tenth graders, and also as a Spanish language tutor for adults and college-aged students in Miami. Many of the students I have worked with are English language learners, and I am comfortable tutoring in both English and Spanish.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I most enjoy tutoring Literature, Composition and language. I am an enthusiastic reader myself, and also enjoy trying out new DIY projects and going on meandering bike rides in my spare time.

I started tutoring because I've always had a knack for explaining things to people, and I've gotten good feedback from students I've tutored as well as friends that I've helped. I've been tutoring math and science for a couple of years off and on, and hope to continue helping people because these are subjects that I want to retain knowledge of for as long as possible. I can pretty much tutor any age or experience level, although my favorite is college level calculus II.I like to use visual and kinesthetic methods to explain concepts to students. I focus on ensuring that students really understand the theory behind why we solve problems a certain way versus just memorizing a formula or function. This method has helped a lot of my students become note confident in their problem-solving skills as well as become more able to learn new concepts easier because they have a better understanding of the fundamentals.In addition to general course subjects, I have experience training for math brain bowls, preparing for standardized testing, and studying for the fundamentals of engineering exam.

I am extremely patient and will make sure the student I'm working with truly understands what we're working on. The great thing about tutoring one on one is being able to go at each student's pace and work with their unique learning styles. I'm personally very visual and need to draw a picture to figure out a problem. I enjoy learning about the student's interests and incorporating them into the lesson to make it more fun and interesting. I've been working in education for about 5 years. I taught preschool and 4th grade and have tutored ages 4 to 18. My favorite subject is Math, but I enjoy working with all subjects.

I have over four years of tutoring experience. I specialize in elementary reading, math and language arts instruction. My approach is to meet students where they are and help them reach the next level through interactive sessions that provide high levels of challenge and support.

I received a Bachelor of Health Science with minors in English, math, and chemistry from the University of Miami in Spring 2015. When I was there and learning any new information or studying for a test, I always ended up speaking aloud as if I was teaching a classroom. If you include this as tutoring or teaching experience, I have a much higher number of hours than those indicated on my resume. If this does not cut it, I have worked with students from elementary through high school to meet their educational goals through various volunteer organizations in college. I am happy to be able to continue doing the work that I have enjoyed so much.Despite my efforts to tutor myself as I have described, I often needed or just wanted a tutor to help me with my goals. As I have sat in front of a tutor many times, I know what mistakes students often make and how students often feel. I am an honest and encouraging tutor here to help you reach your goals!Outside of academics, I enjoy watching and playing sports, painting,and reading. Currently, I am applying to optometry schools and hope to begin in fall 2016.

I've always harbored dual passions for learning and teaching. Growing up in Kansas City, I participated in competitive math and spelling, going on to tutor middle school MathCounts and serve as my younger sibling's spelling bee coach. These experiences cemented my desire to serve as a mentor for others.With a background in higher-level math, I tutored the subject throughout high school while also serving as captain of the varsity tennis team and teaching private tennis lessons on the side. Top ACT and SAT scores earned me a scholarship at the University of Miami, where I was able to develop a newfound love for the fine arts. I am now pursuing a B.S. in computer science as well as a B.A. in studio art, with minors in mathematics and public health. I feel that my artistic practice has shaped my teaching, pushing me to take a creative, non-rigid approach to education -- I believe in working closely with my students to create individualized plans that cater to their specific learning needs.I specialize in tutoring middle/high school math (pre-algebra thru pre-calc) and test prep (SAT, ACT, and PSAT.) I am also comfortable tutoring middle/high school reading, essay writing, vocabulary, and computer science. In my free time, I paint, play tennis, and play synth in a band. I look forward to working with you!

It is this knowledge and understanding that makes me a great choice to help students learn and understand anything mathematically related.

I am a graduate of the University of Miami, having studied Biomedical Engineering, with a Pre-Med Concentration. I want to help students learn history better because I have seen many students who find the subject to simply be boring without any reason behind it. I want to be able to ignite that passion in the students I teach. I mainly tutor in AP US and AP World History. While I am interested in a variety of subjects, my main passion lies in History, of both the US and the world. I feel that being patient with students, reviewing and correcting mistakes, and attempting to answer their questions about the subject material is most helpful to them. I usually play video games in my spare time, including Crusader Kings II, Europa Universalis IV, Victoria II, and other strategy games of that nature.

Struggling with organization, writing, or high-stakes exams? I'm a National BoardCertified English educator and college professor with over two decades of experience helping students master executive functioning, pass FTCE exams, and succeed in college English. I break complex tasks into clear, manageable steps and tailor every session to how you learnso you leave feeling prepared, capable, and confident.

I have personally benefited from tutoring throughout my academic journey, and I am excited to give back by helping students succeed. I am passionate about one-on-one tutoring and tailoring instruction to fit each student's unique learning style. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Biology and am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Genetics, giving me a strong foundation in biology, genetics, and life sciences.I enjoy creating a collaborative, engaging, and supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and building confidence. My goal is to help students not only understand the material, but also develop strong study skills, critical thinking, and academic confidence that lead to long-term success.

I am looking forward to being your tutor! I am a strong believer in helping and teaching others in any way that I can, and at the same time making the world a better place. My mission is to help you succeed and achieve your goals one session at a time.

I am a graduate from the University of Miami, with majors in Creative Writing and in Philosophy.
