Award-Winning SSAT Tutors serving Buffalo, NY

Hello! I am recent grad from UW-Madison in Mathematics. I love teaching math because I am a firm believer that everyone is capable of understanding math and helping students realize that within themselves is incredibly gratifying. I particularly like teaching calculus because that's where math starts to get fun, students begin developing a type of thinking that I affectionately refer to as mathematical freestyling.

...with a minor in History from New York University. While I enjoy discussing a variety of subjects, tutoring math, history, and political science are perhaps most appealing to me. I find that the act of explaining something to someone else helps me to understand it on an even deeper level, and I find that almost as gratifying as helping someone discover something new. The best thing about tutoring is helping someone to discover, or rediscover,...

...students of all ages struggle with material at some point in their academic careers. I believe we learn best from teachers we feel genuinely care about us and our success. As a high school ELA and Environmental Science teacher, I work to build strong relationships with my students to better motivate them and get them invested in their work. In addition to guiding students towards a clearer understanding of material, I simultaneously work to impart...

...remedial reading class to help students improve their reading comprehension skills. While in NYC, I also took advantage of the great higher education institutions there by obtaining my masters in Reading from Teachers College at Columbia University. As part of the program I had the opportunity to work in a reading clinic with students ranging from 4th grade - Adult and I worked with them to improve their reading decoding skills, comprehension skills, as well...

...who is quite interested in the process of learning. I spend most of my time learning how to study, and the rest of my time studying. Don't get me wrong, I am not a study nerd at all, I was a judo champion once, and I do a lot of other things as well. I believe the most important skill in life is learning how to learn and encode skills especially in adult years. That's...

I have been an educator for almost half of my life. I believe in education and the power of learning and knowledge. I am a life-long learner and enjoy learning and helping others to learn and grow.

...from Carnegie Mellon, a Bachelor Degree in Electrical Engineering from University at Buffalo, and a Masters Degree in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University. I have over a decade of tutoring experience and pride myself in really connecting with my students' learning styles and aspirations. My main strength as a tutor is in the maths, but I can also offer exemplary essay editing advice and my engineering background is comfortable giving computer programming assistance as well.

My mission is to inspire life long learning as well as to give you the tools to discover your capacity for academic success and happiness. ... To help a student get engaged again in a subject they're probably loathing, I would ask them questions about what they like. Life is vastly interconnected; therefore, I would draw the line between the student's personal interests and the material at hand. If they can be wowed about how the...

...it means to be a visual learner, and how hard that can be when a professor only lectures. This is something that I had to overcome in my studies, and really enjoy helping other students not only master their subjects, but also enabling them to perceive and receive information so that they can absorb the knowledge and perform well when tested. When this is done, confidence is boosted, and it's all uphill from there.

...power of education in life. I believe that curiosity can lead to so much joy. I enjoy learning as much as I do teaching. One thing I have learned is that every child learns differently. While there are larger techniques that can be used in larger settings, each child responds differently to what they're learning in their surroundings, and who they are learning with. Part of my love for teaching is figuring that out with...

Hi, my name is Naomi, and I am happy to tutor for Varsity Tutors. I study English literature and philosophy, so reading and writing are my strongest suits, but I am glad to help in any of my listed subjects. Please send me a message to let me know how I can be of assistance!... It depends on the subject, but I like to be creative and use all sorts of materials to draw/write/graph etc.... I...

...use manipulatives in math or I go step by step in the problem and have the student copy me and ask questions as we go along that they don't understand.

I also attend vintage which is a college student ministry. I also like to...

Everyone can learn, if they have the desire. My goal is to empower my students while understanding their learning styles, gaining a better idea of their perspective of the world, and to thereby teach them through their perspective for maximum success. Education is my passion. If my students aren't successful, how can I be?

I am a high school English teacher in South Florida. I love working with students to see the light bulb go off when they finally get the concept we are learning. I hope to help you do the same!

My goal is to help all students reach their academic goals by providing encouragement, assistance, and my professional experience in education. I believe all students should have the opportunity to perform academically to the best of their ability, given the proper tools and resources. I feel honored to guide students towards success!

I love learning and I truly believe that knowledge is power. I have been tutoring since I was in high school and I have 2 children who I work with nearly every day. Everybody is different and learns in different ways but that is what makes each one of us so special. As a tutor, I try to unlock which methods works for those I tutor and teach them how to build upon those strengths.

...a classroom for 3 years but have been working in a classroom atmosphere since 2012. My favorite subject to tutor is math. I really enjoy Sign Language and continue to teach it to my current students. I believe that students should have a hands on learning experience and want to be motivated. Tutoring sessions should be more student-led so that they are getting the experience necessary to achieve the grades they want to.
