I am a PhD Candidate in History at the University of California, Berkeley but am currently living in New York while finishing my dissertation on the British Empire in India in the late 18th Century. I am originally from New York City and attended a very academically oriented private school, so I have first-hand experience with the stresses and concerns many students face, regardless of the school they attend. I benefited from private tuition myself and would like to consider my story a successful one, therefore I hope to carry on the benefits of tutoring to my own students.I have 7 years experience private tutoring a diverse range of subjects in New York and London, and 6 years experience as a teaching assistant of History and Italian at the University level. I've worked with a range of students from high-achieving undergraduates to students at pressure-cooker college preparatory schools to children with high-functioning Autism. My specialty subjects are History, English, Latin, essay-writing, exam preparation, and I have extensive experience preparing students for exam prep (PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE to name a few) and university applications in the USA and the UK. I chose to go to graduate school and continue working in the field of education because I am passionate about both learning and teaching whether this takes place at home, in a classroom, or at an international conference.

I am a Vassar and Dartmouth educated woman with a passion for learning and for making learning fun. I believe in not only helping a student with the assignment at hand, but rather to teach and enforce tools and skills that will help each student for a lifetime. I also believe in customizing my lesson plans to each student rather than emphasizing a "one style fits all" approach. I am positive, energetic, and thrive on helping others succeed and reach their goals.

I am a 2014 graduate of Vassar College, in Poughkeepsie, NY, where I majored in Cognitive Science and minored in Spanish/Hispanic Studies. In college, I played two years of DIII lacrosse, sang in an a cappella group, studied abroad for a semester in Madrid, and was the co-chair of my major committee. With a faculty member in the physics department, I worked on a project analyzing the intersection of physics education, cognitive science, and contemplative practice (e.g., meditation). My senior thesis was a critical evaluation of the goals and results of neuroimaging studies purportedly studying "the self."Ever since I was a child, I have had a passion for the learning process. I enjoy learning new things, getting better at them, and helping others to learn as well. My work as a swim instructor for recalcitrant kiddos, behavioral specialist with young adults with developmental and intellectual disabilities, and adult men in psycho-educational groups have taught me that people learn best when they are intrinsically motivated and feel that they are in the driver's seat of their learning process. As such, my job as a tutor is to support, ask questions, and be a sounding board for learners to coach them through their own process of discovery and integration.My high school and college education gave me a broad, interdisciplinary background, which makes me feel comfortable moving between quantitative and qualitative subjects and a great tutor for standardized tests. I particularly enjoy helping learners achieve success in reading and writing skills.

I recently completed my Master's program at Columbia for the the teaching of Social Studies, so I have spent a year teaching in a classroom setting. Prior to that, I have tutored on a more informal level in different subjects. My most rewarding experience came when I volunteered in high school to work one-on-one with an autistic elementary school child who I taught how to play chess. He showed a real interest for the game, but no one in his family knew how to play. I went there once a week to play games with him and give instruction.I am dedicated to becoming an educator and tutoring offers a unique opportunity to reach students on a more personal level than they can typically be reached in large classroom settings. While I have nothing against the classroom, I look forward to every chance I have to make direct connections with students and to help them achieve their academic goals. I am a genuinely curious person, and I find every individual's story fascinating and worthy of my time. Tutoring affords me the opportunity to give them this time.In terms of what I like to tutor, I have always loved taking standardized tests, as I viewed them as fun exercises in spotting tricks. I excelled at the SAT, and I would love to impart my understanding of the exam onto students who approach it with trepidation. I can help with all three sections, and I know the dynamics of the test (what are the categories of questions, what are the typical multiple choice pitfalls, how people should pace themselves, etc.)With regard to specific subjects, I initially began college as a Math major before switching to Political Science. I got all the way to Modern Algebra (group theory) before making the change, so I feel pretty comfortable with high school level Math. From years of experience in this field, I understand that Math is a participatory sport that people learn by lots of doing. I can help you or your child build the skills and experience needed to master this subject.Also, I love chess. Love it. I used to be nationally ranked, and I still play online in my free time. It is a great way to keep your mind active while having fun. I would be happy to play any student of mine if they are interested in this as well.

I am a 2005 graduate of Vassar College (Bachelor's) and 2009 graduate of Teachers College, Columbia University (Master's). I have taught English Language and Literature for five years in both NYC public schools and a private academy in New Jersey. As a tutor, I have worked with high school students in the Bronx and suburban New Jersey on reading and math skills.My passion for Literature arrived late; as the only child of a book publisher and librarian, I had to get my rebellion in somewhere. But ever since I was introduced to Kurt Vonnegut in college, reading has been an obsession. I've spent years trying to force this love into gum snapping high school students, and when I see that spark of awareness that some of us get from reading great books, it makes up for all the swings and misses on students who just want to get the grade and get out the door.Even if you think reading is something to do only when the power goes out, I can help you find something unique and yes, even interesting in your dreaded required Literature.

I am endlessly curious about people's varied and complex experiences, perspectives, and philosophies, and thus have spent a good part of my life in academia, earning a Bachelor's degree from Vassar College and Master's degrees from NYU and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.From 2015-2020, I was a teaching assistant for a range of courses spanning Comparative Literature, Communication Arts, Folklore Studies, and Beginning Russian.From my long-standing roles as both an instructor and a student, I know that teaching does not lie only in imparting specific knowledge. I help students succeed in their area of study by making sure they understand underlying methodologies and can build their skills through guided practice. Thus, they can carry what they learned beyond their short-term goals and truly get something lasting from my teaching. Likewise, I know that students' confidence and motivation makes a huge difference in the learning process; I care deeply about these factors and thus make sure to be a patient and supportive mentor, to engage students in their subject and encourage them throughout their progress.Being a teaching assistant was an amazing experience, but the most rewarding moments happened during my office hours when I could connect with students on a more personal level and together, work through their individual questions or concerns with the kind of depth and thoroughness that would not be viable in a time-restricted, twenty-five person class. Being there to celebrate a student's breakthroughs and seeing firsthand how far a student could come in a single semester showed me just how much difference these one-on-one sessions can make. I want to be the one to make it happen!I specialize in literature and writing about literature - how to engage with a text, how to analyze it, and how to formulate one's own original ideas into a convincing, compelling essay. Much of my work was with college freshmen, so I am especially aware of the difficulties commonly encountered at that stage as students must strive to meet new, more rigorous expectations; whether you are looking to do well in college or just want to impress your high school teachers, I can offer an insider's perspective on that important transitionary stage and help you level up!The subjects I most enjoy tutoring are creative writing and Russian language. Both are highly focused on students specific interests; thus students are invested in what they want to say and I can learn from them and about them. That makes it a wonderful, rewarding experience for us both.Creative Writing is something I consider to be mentoring rather than teaching, as it is the student who knows the most about the work they write - whether it's about the motivations of the characters, the particular associations and emotions that a line is intended to carry over, or anything else. Often, it takes questions to uncover these bits of secret knowledge, and the answers may not come right away. But when they finally do, it is such a privilege to be there as the short story or a poem takes shape, or falls into place, or suddenly develops a twist that even the student, the creative writer, did not expect! In the months before the pandemic, I've had the amazing opportunity to tutor creative writing at the 8th grade level, and will be happy to provide guidance to creative writers of any age!As for Russian, learning a foreign language is a gargantuan task if you want to do it well, but it's fascinating to think that so much of it can be defined with just an alphabet, a dictionary, and a list of grammar rules. Seeing these three elements come together into full-fledged ideas from students who had no knowledge of the language before is incredible - we can see just how far we can go with just a few basics of the language. Learning a foreign language is also a physical task insofar as one needs to produce the sounds well enough to be understood, or even to better pass for a native speaker. As a bilingual speaker of Russian and English, I am well positioned to understand the different nuances of each language's sounds and explain the mechanics of the pronunciation to enhance how good you sound. Language study allows an entire world of expression to open up before you. While the direction of study is always up to the student, I can make this especially rewarding by sharing music, movies, or stories so that you can explore the culture using the language skills you've gained.

I have a B.A. in English from Vassar College and an M.A. in Literature from NYU. My day job is at a big publishing house, and I really feel like I'm living the dream. Reading has always been a passion of mine, and I absolutely love working with books every day. I have worked as an editor, copywriter, and analyst, so I have a very practical understanding of the real-world benefits of reading and writing well. I love sharing my deep appreciation of literature and language with students. On the side, I am also a certified yoga instructor. I like to think that it keeps me flexible, both mentally and physically.I have experience tutoring students of all skill levels and ranging from 5th grade through college. My fields of expertise include test prep, writing, reading comprehension, French language, and grammar & mechanics. I think that every student benefits from a customized curriculum. Whether it is a problem of comprehension, poor time management, or just a lack of interest, I work with each student's particular challenges to help her/him perform as well as possible.

I have taught and tutored students of all ages, from preschool to undergraduate, particularly enjoying my work with ESL students and students with disabilities. I am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences. I received four consecutive gold medals on the National Latin Exam when I was in high school, so I am eager to help students who are struggling with the subject. I also specialize in the areas of English-language writing, grammar, and reading comprehension. I have wanted to be a teacher from a rather young age, and I am grateful to have the chance to help dedicated students to achieve academically.

I'm passionate about student-centered learning and building student confidence. I enjoy using my Spanish skills to help others learn the beautiful language.

My name is Zoe Fullerton and I am current student at Harvard Medical School. I attended Vassar College as an undergraduate where I studied Science, Technology and Society. I am a patient teacher and eager to work with students of all ages.

After completing a B.A. in Sociology at Vassar College, I completed a certificate of Medical Sciences (Post-Bach Pre-Med Program) at Drexel University. I took a year "off", working in a pathology/cardiology research laboratory at Johns Hopkins while applying to medical school. I was accepted to the M.D./Ph.D. program at Virginia Commonwealth University and that is where I have been for the past 9 years. This year (2016) I graduated with and MD and a Ph.D. in Microbiology and Immunology. My dissertation project focused on mast cells in allergic disease, mastocytosis, and non-allergic diseases. Currently, I am in a research track program which combines an Internal Medicine residency with Rheumatology fellowship.All throughout my time in school, but particularly starting at Drexel, I have tutored other students in a variety of medically related areas. Most recently, I have tutored 1st and 2nd year medical students in a variety of medical school classes. I have also served on a wider level: participating on the curriculum planning committee and admission committee at Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine. I take great pleasure in advising and tutoring and love to see my former students move on to bigger and better things.

Working with Varsity is flexible and fun. I worked for over 25 years as a civil engineer solving flooding problems and improving fish habitat. I changed careers to teaching math about five years ago. I have taught high school math from Algebra I to AP Calculus. I enjoy working with people to achieve their academic goals. When I am not doing math I like to sail, ski rock climb and cook. I look forward to meeting you!

I graduated from Vassar College with a B.A. in Philosophy, a field in which I'm now doing graduate work. I'm available as a tutor for English and History/Social Studies up through the high school level including coursework, Regents exams, and AP tests. I also tutor students in preparation for standardized tests including the SAT, ACT, SSAT, and PSAT. I am also experienced as a tutor or conversation partner for ESL learners and others working on improving their English language skills. I've tutored both small groups and individuals for four years, working with students across a range of ages from elementary through high school. Because of students' differing needs and interests, I always make a point of finding the approach that works with each person. I focus on first understanding why a student is having difficulty, rather than just drilling them. Sometimes this is a matter of the student's learning style, in which case I adapt my teaching style to that and help them develop studying habits suited to their way of learning. Sometimes it's a matter of having trouble with a particular concept, in which case I'll work with the student to rethink and re-articulate the problem in terms that will make more sense to them. In my free time, when I'm not reading or writing, I like to go running, practice the piano, and see my friends.

I graduated from Vassar College with a Bachelor of Arts in Neuroscience. Since college, I have tutored elementary school students in Math and English; high school students in Chemistry and Physics with learning disabilities; and college students in Neuroscience.While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about General Chemistry, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience. In my experience supporting struggling students, we always seem to have the most fun figuring out stoichiometry, metabolic reactions, neurotransmitters and more in prepping for college exams.I love the quote, "Amateurs can teach other amateurs." While I may teach you something, I firmly believe that you will teach me something too. Education brings me such joy and meaning to life as working through complex problems together remain memorable experiences. I aim to extend my appreciation for learning and growth to all my students.

I graduated from Vassar College in 2016 with a BA in English. I am passionate about literature and writing and want to help make these subjects come alive for students. I want to teach students how to eventually teach themselves so that they may excel at a particular subject in the future. I would love to read students' essays, help students through difficult readings, and with reading comprehension. I am patient and there for the students' needs.

I am a recent Vassar College graduate well versed in grammatical, structural, and stylistic editing. I'm looking to help students with essays, research papers, and other writing assignments, from the planning stages to final checks. I also scored within the 99th percentile (770) on my Writing SAT, and in the 95th (700) for SAT Critical Reading. So, while I may not be your girl for math, when it comes to learning how to nit-pick grammar to perfection, and glean the most from a good short story ??? I "gotchu."A little bit about me: I studied philosophy in college (and would love to debate any pressing ethical questions you have), and captained my high school and college track teams. Don't ask me about my 30m or my mile time, but if you must know, I can run a lap of a track in under a minute. When I'm not running to a finish line, you can usually find me running to a train, plane, or automobile, or, on a good day, sitting in a park or on a beach with a good book (currently: Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose").I've seen many great ideas fall flat due to poor writing. I want to help bright minds communicate effectively, so let me see what you've got!

Hello!My name is Izzy, I'm 23 years old, and I'm originally from Danville, Indiana. I got my bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Vassar College in Spring 2018. I'm currently in graduate school to become a pharmacist - I'm in my first year of the PharmD program at Northeastern University.As you can probably guess, my area of expertise is the sciences - specifically Biology and Chemistry. However, I am also able to teach other subjects such as math through high school levels, and standardized test prep (SAT, ACT, PCAT, etc).I have been tutoring with Varsity Tutors since June 2018. While in undergrad, I was a college-level General and Organic Chemistry tutor, as well as a Chemistry laboratory instructor. Before college, I was a private nanny and homeschooling educator for an eleven-year-old student.I am happy to work with students of all ages, but I believe my skill set and experience are better suited to slightly older students (middle/high school and college).I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there! My name is Bryan Kim-Butler, and I would love to work with you or your child on Varsity Tutors. I have over 7 years total of teaching experience, from the elementary school all the way through to the college level. I started way, way back, when I tutored elementary school kids when I was in high school, and that was around the year 2000. So that means I have been helping people younger than me educationally for over 25 years. My academic background is that I have a Master's in English literature, with a specialization in American literature, from the University of Michigan, a J.D. or a Juris Doctor, also known as a law degree, from Columbia University, and a bachelor's degree in Philosophy from Vassar College. So my areas of expertise are mainly in humanities: English, reading, writing, and social studies, including things like American history, law, and civics. My teaching is very student-centered and responsive to a student's own goals and their own needs. That's because I believe that even at a young age, children have their own ways of learning & their own priorities. It's just that adults often don't take the time to listen to them to figure out how best to help them. That's why I love getting to know the students I work with on a one-on-one level. My approach is not one-size-fits-all. I emphasize 3 things, okay? First, critical thinking, second, self-learning, meaning not depending on a teacher to tell you everything, and third, learning the practical steps anyone can take to improve from where they are. One thing I love about helping students and their families is seeing that spark of improvement, when someone who's been struggling realizes that what they need to do is not as hard as they thought, and that they really can do it. I've seen that spark in kids as young as 5 years old, and as old as college students ready to go off to law school, medical school, graduate school, and so on. So, I hope this video gives you a good idea of who I am as an educator, and I hope you're interested in working with me. Just let me know what you might be wondering about and how I might help. Thank you! Bye for now.

Hi my name is Lukas, a recent graduate from Vassar College. I have a BA in Drama as well as focuses in German, Creative Writing and Studio Art. Currently, I work as a personal assistant and find acting jobs on the side. My strengths lie in German, English, Theatre and Video Production.Being a tutor is so exciting for me. I have been working with people younger than me for a while and it has always been a rewarding and learning process for me and them.

To me, being an educator means believing that every student can succeed and helping students to believe that about themselves. It means finding a student's strengths, celebrating every big and small moment of growth, and being a constant cheerleader and role model in a student's life. I come to tutoring with a BA in English and Cognitive Science from Vassar College and a history of teaching and working with students in a variety of environments. I worked for years at an inclusion camp, supporting students with and without special needs in academic and social activities. While in college, I was a volunteer tutor at a local elementary school working with ESL students and students with special needs. At the same time, I worked as a peer tutor at Vassar's Writing Center. I have also taught middle school science and math over the summer through Breakthrough Greater Boston, a program working to close the opportunity gap by supporting low income students and students of color. In the past three years, I have worked one-on-one with students in public schools as a special education aide at the elementary school and high school levels. Though I enjoy tutoring a range of subjects, I have a special love for teaching writing because it is so powerful for students to find their voices and express themselves. As a tutor, I am a calm and optimistic person who enjoys building deep relationships with my students. When I'm not teaching, I love playing ultimate frisbee, reading, playing board games, going for walks, and hanging out with my guinea pigs.

I am a graduate of Vassar College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Biology with a minor in English. After graduating, I worked at Weill Cornell Medical College and took graduate medical coursework at New York Medical College. I will be matriculating into medical school this fall.Throughout my undergraduate career I was actively involved in scientific research and in tutoring students in both science and English coursework. My experience in tutoring students in English over the past 6 years includes age groups ranging from grades K-12. English topics cover essay writing, college admissions, as well as grammar mechanics.I am most experienced in teaching SSAT, SAT, and similar entrance/exit exams for students entering high school or preparing to enter college. Preparing for standardized tests can represent a stressful and frustrating time for many students. I work closely with each student to make the most of their time and bring out their very best.I am enthusiastic about learning and hope to instill the same appreciation in each student I teach. In my free time I like to read, run, and play competitive tennis.

I take a fun, interactive, Socratic approach to teaching students of all ages that stresses interaction and creativity. I look forward to collaborating with you!

I've worked as a tutor on/off for the past 15 years. I started my tutoring my mother's students while in elementary school and later worked as teacher's assistant in college and a tutor for an after- school program in Poughkeepsie. On the side, I've worked as a private tutor for undergraduate and graduate students since graduating from college. I love to teach and I hope to eventually become a professor! In my professional life I have worked as a Data Scientist and Data Analyst for the past six years. I use R, SQL, Python, Tableau, JavaScript visualizations, and Looker to build data pipelines and provide quantitative insights.

I am a junior at Vassar College where I am working towards a B.A. in economics and film with a Chinese minor. While my expertise lies in standardized math testing (SAT I and SAT II), I am also an experienced essay editor and English tutor to all levels. Commissioned by the Taiwanese government, I have led a third grade class as a volunteer ESL teacher relying on a multimedia approach to language learning. Besides SAT math, I also tutor SAT critical reading and writing, AP micro/macroeconomics, Mandarin Chinese, as well as elementary to high school mathematics (pre-algebra to calculus) and writing skills. As a tutor, I am able to decode the intimidating language of standardized testing for my students and help them become more confidant test takers. I am passionate about education and the accessibility of higher level education for all. At school, I am a part of the rowing team and the Asian Students' Alliance. I enjoy watching movies, long distance running, baking, coffee art and playing classical guitar.

I am a recent graduate from Vassar College with a degree in Computer Science and English. Ever since I experimented with programming in middle school, I have only grown to love coding more and more. I have taken extensive classes in programming through high school and college, excelling in all of them and nurturing my passion for programming. The more I learn, the more I want to share this knowledge--and with it, my passion--with others.

I am a recent 2016 Vassar College graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Women's Studies and Educational Studies. Though my studies were focused primarily in these two academic fields, I have taken courses in sociology, statistics, history, calculus, and biology.During my junior year I worked for a local non-profit organization that provides after-school tutoring for Poughkeepsie City School District students in grades K-5. As an employee, I tutored students in elementary math, science, social studies, and English. While working for this organization, I learned how to effectively manage classrooms of 10 to 25 students, while also frequently adjusting my communication style according to individual students academic needs.In addition to my experience as an after-school tutor, I have worked as a private tutor in math and English, preparing students for their NYS Regents Exams. As a private tutor, I've created supplemental materials to prepare a middle school students for their New York State Regent's Examination in algebra and geometry.I look forward to hearing from you and aiding in your academic success!

Education is a passion for me. I've loved it ever since I was a child and love it now that I am able to share my knowledge with others. I received my BA in Biochemistry at Vassar College, my MSC in Anatomy & Physiology at the Atlantic Veterinary College of UPEI, and my PhD in Biomedical Sciences (Orthopedics) at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine. Subjects revolving around biology and chemistry are therefore my area of expertise and what I most enjoy tutoring.I don't have a singular approach to tutoring. It starts with getting to know the student and how they best assimilate information. Everyone is different. I always look to the individual's needs and work from there.Outside of academia I am interested in Fitness (CrossFit, Powerlifting), Aikido, Rock Climbing, Gaming, Movies, and Outdoor Activities/Nature.

I am a recent Vassar College graduate. I majored in Biology and have a minor in Hispanic Studies. I have a lot of informal tutoring experience. I always enjoyed helping out fellow classmates through the years and helping my younger siblings. During my last year in college, I also tutored basic Biology at the local high school. I tutor high school math up until precalculus, (Algebra I and II, pre-calc) basic-to intermediate Spanish (Spanish I-IV), some basic conversational Spanish and Biology. When I tutor, I aim to help the student understand the material and not just the answers.

I thrive in tutoring humanities - English literature, Latin, art history, music (keyboard, music theory and music history), philosophy and history. I am liberal arts trained and excel at connecting concepts across academic disciplines.

I believe I was born to be a teacher. I absolutely love helping all students learn something new. I attended Vassar College for my undergraduate degree, where I majored in History, and The Catholic University of America for both my Master's and Doctorate degrees in Historical Musicology. I am a classically trained soprano, and there is always a song in my head. I have two sons in college and two dogs. My strongest personal philosophy is to find the humor in any situation. Laughter can help solve problems in so many ways.

Hi, my name is Elle. I'm a recent graduate of Vassar College with my BA in English and Psychology, and I'm working to bridge the achievement and opportunity gap in the American education system. I believe all children deserve the opportunity to reach their full potential as students and I hope to help them do so through tutoring.

I am an enthusiastic, empathetic, student-centered educator focused on meeting students of all ages where they are and helping them achieve their goals. I have been teaching and learning all my life! My trademark pedagogy involves personalized, hands-on, interactive activities (even in a remote setting). My unique approach employs interactive strategies across subjects, especially essay writing, critical thinking, and analysis. I am particularly attuned to students with unique learning styles. As someone who attended college and received both my advanced degrees on scholarship (Vassar, Emerson, Tufts), I am an advocate for equal opportunity education. I have worked one-on-one with students of all ages, including thesis and dissertation coaching. For me, learning is fun!

I received a Bachelor of Arts in Italian from Vassar College and spent one of my undergraduate years studying in Italy with a program sponsored by Smith College. After graduation from college, I spent several years working for a small office in Italy where I used both English and Italian daily. After returning to the States, I received a Master's in Education from New York University with specialization teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. Subsequently, I taught English in a variety of community-based organizations and at the university level as well. Most of my teaching experience has been with young adults in both domestic and international locations, but I have also worked with children learning English. I look forward to opportunities to spend some additional time with younger learners as they do not have as much interference from their first languages, and their youth allows them to absorb new words and linguistic structures more easily.In addition to many years teaching, I have also had significant roles administering ESL programs and working in higher education administration (the fiscal and HR areas as well as student support services) at Boston University where I also earned an MBA.Teaching students how to express themselves in writing and learning to overcome the challenges of English grammar and spelling is the area of ESL coaching that I most enjoy. Helping break down the hurdles that exist in mastering a new language so that it becomes more manageable and engaging for them to use has always yielded much satisfaction. I work hard with students to help them generate their own words and ideas in English so that their thought processes can begin to flow naturally in the new language - in addition to what they say or put on paper.In terms of what I enjoy outside the classroom (my hobbies and interests), there are a variety of activities that I can name at the top of the list. These include travel (especially to places near the sea), music, as well as going to movies and the theater. I also enjoy finding time to direct toward the maintenance of my own fluency in a second language!

I am a soon to be graduate of a top liberal arts, having studied Biochemistry. I primarily tutor high school and college level math and sciences but also have extensive experience in all forms of engineering and higher mathematics. My current interest is in the application of Numerical Analysis into predicting high order polynomial expressions for physical phenomena as well as for data interpolation.

Hi I'm Chris.Based in Manhattan. I'm a bilingual tutor (English and Japanese) expert at ENL, ESL and English Language Arts (ELA).Yes, I can teach you Japanese, as well as writing and composition for K-12 through college. Let me know your goals and we'll achieve them together.For AP and college students, feel free to contact me for online and 1-to-1 thesis projects and anything relating to global studies and sustainability.For ESL students: I'm happy to help you with boosting your skills conversation and pronunciation, writing, job interviews and more.

Hiya! My name is Joe Rozek and I would like to be your tutor. In the past I studied philosophy at Vassar College, ecology at Fordham University and then at Lehigh University I had a brief stint as a PhD student in evolutionary biology. There I quickly found out that I was more keen on teaching than I was on doing research and have since transferred to obtain my teaching certificate in high school biology. Despite my many years in biology, I never found it to be easy. Science is hard. There's a great deal of memorization associated with the subject, as well as difficult concepts and esoteric terminology. Let me help you by lending you my expertise in effectively studying and learning biology.

I'm currently a rising sophomore at Vassar College, who is interested in tutoring SAT, History, English, and Algebra. Languages that I can speak are English, German, and Chinese. Hoping to engage with a range of students, and to do my best to help them with their work!

I received my undergraduate degree from Vassar College in History with a minor in Education. I received my Master's degree from Fordham University in Adolescent Social Studies Education. I have worked in the New York school system for three years, both in the middle school and high school level. I have been tutoring since high school and particularly love tutoring students in Social Studies as well as Language Arts. I love tutoring Social Studies because when told, taught, and studied correctly, history can be the most thrilling story. I believe tutoring should be a rigorous but fun experience where both the tutor and student feel comfortable with each other. The first thing I do when I meet a new student is get to know their passions, interests, and experiences so I can make analogies to ideas and concepts they already know about. Part of prepping for standardized tests is feeling confident and building my students' confidence is something I constantly work towards. In my free time I am a sports maniac and play on multiple soccer teams. I love using athletics to describe key concepts such as comparing the Patriot's position during the Revolutionary War to home field advantage at a sporting event. When I am not on the field, I love to read historical fiction and political thrillers.

Hello! My name is Nicholas, and I have a passion for education and learning. To me, education is not simply an act of personal betterment, but one of societal improvement and sustainability. Education, from science to math, english to history, allows us to have new lenses through which to see our world. Mastering content gives us a cognitive framework through which we can process and understand new information from the world around us. Knowledge is critical for one's own success in the world as well as a requisite for a well functioning democracy. If you do not have a fully formed internal logos, you are at the whim of others determinative narratives and little more than a passenger on your ship through life. My goal is enable individuals to be the captains of their own ship.

I'm an Economics major at Vassar College who has tutored peers and children for four years, and have learned as much from teaching as those I've taught. In my experience it is easiest for a student to learn when their teacher engages with them directly and adapts their way of teaching to the learning style and interests of the student. This has always been how I have learned most effectively as a student, and is how I attempt to instill knowledge as a teacher.
