...in Dance. I have previous tutoring experience in AP Chemistry and Organic Chemistry, for both high school and college age students. My personal teaching philosophy is to lead my sessions with a student-based approach.

...up that self-indulgent, semi-autobiographical first novel. I think it's great---we'll see if anyone else agrees. I attended the Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but...

...individual settings. I have taught students of all abilities in a wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than the...

...English, and general writing and editing for a number of years. I had the chance to hone my editing skills in publishing internships with science fiction/fantasy publisher Tor Books in downtown NYC. My tutoring style is based on the belief that each student comes to a problem or subject from a different angle. The trick is not only to find the approach that works for the student, but also to boost the student's own investment...

...for a class or standardized test. I know that each student needs something different depending on their grade level, learning style, background, and academic goals and I tailor my teaching style to my students. My main goal when I tutor is to have my student leave the session knowing that they learned a ton and that their grades will show it! At the same time, my passion for the subjects I teach is contagious and...

Hi! My name is River Knight. I'm currently a student at New York University. I've actively worked as a tutor for the last 5 years. I hope to help my students find the joy in what they're learning and give them tools to improve on their own!

...on assignments and tests for more than five years. I strive to not only prepare students to exceed academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find...

...through tutoring. I can help with all levels of math and physics up through graduate level course work. I also can tutor all levels of French as I have taken the French baccalaureat. I started tutoring in high school, everything from math, literature, to French and Latin. I have worked mostly with high school, college students and adults, but have also helped younger students accomplish their goals. I love teaching and find it wonderful when...

These qualities fostered a driving force that saw me through GED, college, Post baccalaureate and currently medical school. My life purpose is that of labor of love, to give back to communities that are in dire need for affordable healthcare and health education. It was this passion that made me become an ambassador for Mentoring in...

...determine where their own passions lie. This could be as elemental as applying their interests to whatever it is they are studying, be it finding literary bits about ancient sport to practice Latin grammar or envisioning the perfect essay in relation to a perfect layer cake. My students have ranged from the pre-K to university levels. For each student, I put a strong emphasis on personalizing their studies to their needs and interests. My passions...

...class was especially meant for liberal arts students who struggled with traditional math classes but still needed to fulfill a math requirement to graduate. After I finished my master's degree I moved to Finland to do a Ph.D. in mathematics. I was always fascinated with Scandinavia and Nordic culture, so I decided to go there to study. I lived in Finland for 5 years and completed my doctorate in a field called Geometric Function Theory....

Experienced in literature and writing content, I love working one-on-one with students to improve their writing. Whether it's a college essay or ELA paper, I utilize a variety of tactics to help students execute their ideas effectively on paper.

...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...

...Drama (University of London) in 2013 and previously completed the One Year Professional Acting course at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in England. I founded an international theater company called The Sun Apparatus with three other women in 2013. Since then, most of my non-tutoring hours are spent performing, rehearsing, directing, and producing for the company. We were shortlisted for the Scottish Daily Mail Drama Award in 2014 and will be taking our newest...

...Counseling. I plan to apply to the PsyD or Ph.D. Clinical Psychology program in the future in order to gain more experience with research as well as providing adequate therapy. Currently, while working underneath my supervisor, I run varied groups in a psychiatric inpatient facility. My interest in tutoring and helping students stems from a group I co-ran for patient's who wished to acquire their high school diploma through TASC testing.

I may have a BA in Speech Language Pathology, but I love teaching (and learning) English. I am a genuinely caring and motivated individual who believes in the power of positivity and doing the best that you can with all that you are and can do! :)

Although I have experience in tutoring in several different subjects, my expertise lies in Math and English (and History depending on the subject) as well as working with younger students in whatever subject they may need help in. While I'm not tutoring I love to cook...
