Her personal goal is to help students build a foundation of solid study skills that they can rely on throughout their education so that they have the confidence to perform their best in every course.... My first...

...both elementary school students, in an environmental education camp, and fellow college students, as a peer tutor. In these positions, I found great gratification in seeing a student have an epiphany in learning. I promote this learning by making analogies and other connections that the student not only relates to, but also finds interesting. In this manner I am not only able to make lessons exciting, but I also become energized myself. In the end...

...in high school and college, and have tutored a close friend in her mathematics courses since junior year of high school. I am most comfortable and passionate about tutoring SAT prep, particularly the Math section and subject tests. I believe in supporting and encouraging my students and making material as accessible as possible, breaking down what may be difficult subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential...

...education. I rely on a Socratic, discussion-based method where I encourage my students to not only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through...

...Arts in Biochemistry. I love to teach, mostly because of the impact of great teachers throughout my academic career. I think learning can be really fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not...

I've done paid and volunteer tutoring for three years, across a range of ages and subjects. I've earned consistently high scores on my ACT and AP tests, and I'm comfortable teaching advanced math (up to calculus 3), biology and chemistry as well as ACT/SAT test prep. Besides teaching higher level math and science, I'm...

...and would much prefer to make everything from Biology to History into exciting (if very small) stories that are not only easy to remember, but actively difficult to forget. I've had tutors that I hated going to, and tutors that I enjoyed spending my time with, and I do my best to emulate the latter. And, as always, I'm happy with your results when you are happy with your results. Or when your parents are...

...students is with an individualized and interactive tutoring session. I try to teach students the big picture and how different concepts come together rather than give them one answer to memorize. I use diagrams and pictures to really emphasize the importance of visual learning. As a tutor, I try to figure out why a student does not understand a concept and immediately try to tailor my approach to fulfill that student's needs. I help the...

...excited to work with you to address your specific needs! I was born in Denver, CO, and grew up in a small ski town called Steamboat Springs. I graduated as the valedictorian of my high school class and moved to New York to study philosophy at Columbia University.

...now going to be a junior in college, but to me, the magic of seeing my students' faces light up as they learn new information has not yet disappeared. I have come a long way since I accepted my first tutoring job - which was also my first ever job - in high school. I am now a state certified EMT and I volunteer with two different organizations, and I am studying Cell Biology and...

...(or axioms, or vocabulary, or processes) must be understood, preferably on an instinctual level, as it is easier to remember ideas when they make sense at a core level. Then these ideas are applied to the problem, in order to unlock the solution. Generally, when students are having trouble with a problem (or type of problem) there is a non-sequitur somewhere in that process. My job, which is quite fun in this way, is to...

...said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people not just clients. Most importantly, I believe that being challenging, but also patient and supportive yields the best results. I will always work my hardest to ensure that your student comes away learning the most...

Outside of academics, I am a Midshipman in the Navy ROTC program at my school and hope to someday serve as a Submarine Officer in the Pacific. I am also a member of the Yale Glee Club, the Yale Club Soccer Team, and the Freshmen Outdoor Orientation Trip program at Yale. In...

...RWJMS in 2020 and starting residency in Internal Medicine. I'm also a graduate of Columbia University with a BA in biology. I've always been interested in a wide range of subjects in school and love to encourage students to be enthusiastic about learning too. I often find that anxiety or fear are the first barriers to overcome in learning challenges. After that, hard work and lots of practice can conquer any difficult topic!... Review concepts, identify...

...test prep, no two winning strategies are ever exactly alike. Because every student learns in their own unique way, my teaching style is designed to pinpoint each student's individual strengths and weaknesses to develop a customized tutoring experience. My 3+ years of experience as a science teacher in Morningside Heights and beyond have made me appreciate the power of one-on-one instruction and the great advantages that exceptional grades and test scores can provide during the...
