My hope is that each student whom I cross paths with will leave with a sound understanding of the the math concepts. I also hope their experiences will allow them the ability to pass their knowledge on to others seeking similar knowledge. I have six successful years experience tutoring elementary to high school students, even tutored some of my peers, when I was in high school; and I hope each student will reflect on how positive our interaction was.

Neuroscience/Pre-Med student, After a few minutes, we will have our own language to talk smart!

I have been tutoring Pre-medical students for the past 7 years. My goal is to make the complicated easy and understandable. I try to create a comfortable environment conducive for learning. Every tutoring session will consist of a comprehensive breakdown and discussion of the subject material followed by questions to assess students weak points. Subsequent sessions will also consist of a quick review on previous topics discussed before introducing new topics. Over the years, I have found that this method works exceptionally well with students.I have found great success as a tutor because I know how to explain difficult concepts to struggling students. Because of the breadth of my knowledge and education, I can easily explain complex concepts in a number of different ways until I find the approach that works best for each student. I tailor my teaching method to each student based on their unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. I keep my tutoring sessions relaxed and stress-free, while still pushing my students to challenge themselves and reach new academic heights. I believe that each student is capable of so much more than they realize, and it is a thrill and a joy to help unlock their potential for success.I also have experience helping students with college admissions essays as well as admissions counseling and preparations. My essays have helped me gain admission to Columbia, Yale, and Johns Hopkins.I have attended Columbia University for my MS in Biotechnology and prior to that i have received my BS in Biology with Honors. I have took over 70 advance Biology courses such as: Biological Sequence Analysis (Bioinformatics), Genomic Sequencing, Proteomics, Cellular & Molecular Immunology, Bio-Physics, Single Molecule Approaches, Biotechnology, Drugs & Disease, Emergence of Infectious Diseases, Bio-pharmaceuticals. I am passionate about biology and would love to help you out with the topic.In 2011, i have started to teach MCAT prep courses for Kaplan both online and on NYU campus. Soon after, I started to teach MCAT in private settings as i have discovered many different ways to boost the MCAT scores and many of my students received great results from my tutoring. I found out that most MCAT students struggle with the MCAT due to lack of study skills and discipline; therefore, i write a daily and weekly schedule for my students and i keep my eyes on their progress. in the past few years , i have students accepting in high prestigious Medical Schools such as Columbia, Cornell, NYU, MSSM and many others.For students with difficult schedules or that live far away, I am available for online tutoring as well as remote essay and project revisions. If you have any specific needs or requests, please contact me. I am flexible, and am always willing to work around what you or your child needs to reach your academic goals!

English didn't just change my career; it changed my life. My journey with the English language began in Indonesia, where I earned my B.Ed. in English Language Teaching. This foundation gave me the technical how-to of linguistics and pedagogy. My move to New York City to complete my MSW at Columbia University deepened my understanding of how language serves as a bridge to opportunity and connection. My Style I combine the precision of a linguist with the empathy of a social worker. I use strengths-based approach to build a high-energy space to teach essential foundations and learning how to learn strategies so that you have the confidence to continue self-learning long after our sessions are done. Expertise TOEFL iBT: Speaking/Writing and academic synthesis. ESL/EFL: From core grammar to professional fluency. Academic Writing: Ivy League-level editing and persuasive structure. I've been on both sides of the desk. Let's turn your language goals into your next big achievement!

I am a BS/MS student at Columbia University studying Electrical engineering and also following the premed curriculum. After my undergraduate, I hope to pursue an MD-PhD and work in a teaching/research hospital as a physician-engineer.I am committed to teaching and tutoring for the satisfaction of making a difference in someone else's education. I have over four years of experience tutoring, starting as a volunteer when I was still in high school. Many students at my high school came from lower-income families and didn't have expensive test prep classes or professional tutoring agencies within their means, yet still aspired to some of the best universities in the country. To help them achieve their dreams, I started my own six-week ACT prep program after school, free and open to everyone regardless of background or socioeconomic status. I ran this program for two years, working with over 100 students personally in the process. The program is now in its fourth year, and is currently run by my former students. It is also in the process of being made districtwide, not just restricted to my high school.I took all my standardized tests my sophomore year of high school. Since then, I have tutored test prep for the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and SAT IIs as well as for AP and IB exams. While I have tutored a broad range of subjects, my concentration lies in test prep and math, physics, and chemistry. The area I have the most experience with is test-prep tutoring. Let me be completely frank: reading and math are fun; standardized tests in reading and math are not. My philosophy is to make the process as easy and painless for my students as possible, by sharing tips and tricks that have worked for me and my other students - so you can get back to what you do enjoy.When I'm not tutoring, I'm reading, playing the piano (poorly), sleeping, or learning a new language (I speak English, Mandarin, French, and Spanish). In that order.

Graduated from Columbia University with a M.S. Neuroscience and from UCLA with a B.S. Psychobiology. Taught high school biology and chemistry for 2 years.

I'm a recent Columbia grad majoring in economics and film who's passionate about bringing the exciting classroom experience to the online learning format. I love economics and all the math behind it as well as the visual language of film and the humanistic touch of it. I believe in expanding the students' world by teaching not only facts and theories but the implication behind them in addition to sufficient application practice. I want the students to foster intellectual curiosity as they delve into a particular subject. Born and raised in Beijing for 18 years, I can also teach Chinese and the rich culture around it. I'm also experienced in test prep and would love to help students get into their dream college during this unusual time.

I'm a current student at Columbia University studying sociology and business management. I'm passionate about helping others learn new material and reach new heights of academic excellence. In my free time, I'm usually visiting art museums, in a ballet class, or exploring the city. Feel free to reach out to me with any further questions!

I am a graduate of Columbia University with a bachelor's in Neuroscience (pre-med). I have tutored many high school students, mainly in Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Having just taken the MCAT and scoring in the 97%, I have extensive knowledge in the sciences. I love teaching and believe in a personalized, student-based approach that emphasizes making mistakes to promote learning.

I have several years of experience as a teaching assistant and tutor. I have Bachelors and Masters degrees in Physics and a Masters degree in Finance from Columbia University. I enjoy sports, spending time with friends and reading.As a teaching assistant for undergraduate physics, I was the highest rated teaching assistant in the physics department two years in a row. The ratings evaluated both my content and my ability to convey complex subjects in a way that even non-science and math students were able to comprehend. As a tutor, I was very successful in improving students' grades in high school math and physics and obtained high ratings from students and parents.In addition, I scored 800 in GRE math, and can tutor on the SAT or GRE as well.I greatly enjoy teaching math and physics and believe patience and trying to give depth to students' knowledge are keys to being a great tutor. I look forward to working with you!

I am a tutor studying applied math at Columbia University. I am interested in discussing various math topics, approaching problems with creativity, and sharing study techniques. I have experience tutoring 3rd - 12th grade math as well as college math, including Algebra, Trigonometry, Calculus, Geometry, and SAT math.

Having experienced the rigor of learning from myriad tutors and learning centers firsthand, I feel that I have picked up several useful studying and test-taking techniques that may help all different types of students. I think it is important to find the easiest and the most efficient and enjoyable techniques for each particular student, as every individual learns better in different ways. As a college student now, I still use many of these studying strategies and have been exposed to even more from my fellow peers. I am very hard-working and dedicated, not to mention friendly, flexible, and unwaveringly supportive! :-)

I would describe myself as a person who has an ongoing love of learning and teaching, especially social sciences topics (world civilization, history, government and economics). I also enjoy teaching ESL (English as a Second Language) / EFL (English as a Foreign Language) because of the gratification of assisting students to enhance their personal and professional lives by improving their English language skills.I earned a PhD from Rutgers University in Global Affairs, an MA from Columbia University in Regional Studies in Eastern Europe (focus on politics and economics) and a BA from New York University in History and Journalism. I have taught for over 10 years at colleges in the greater New York City area and volunteered for two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer to teach in Ukraine in the International Relations Department, Odessa National University. In addition, I have an ESL equivalent certificate and have enjoyed working with ESL and EFL students in Italy, Ukraine, Michigan, New York and New Jersey.My tutoring style is characterized by engaging students and making it a very personalized and tailored experience.Im looking forward to meeting, working with and getting to know students who would benefit from tutoring in any of the socials science, ESL/EFL and college students who are planning to take the GRE or need assistance in writing college essays.

Since graduating from Columbia University, I have spent the past three years working in a high performing public elementary charter school located in New York City. For two years, as a Teach for America corps member, I taught 4th grade in both a General Education and in an ICT Setting. During this time, I completed my Master of Arts in Education from Relay Graduate School of Education, graduating with distinction. As a teacher, I led my students to achieve over a 70% pass rate on the rigorous Common Core ELA Assessment, and over a 90% pass rate on the Common Core Math Assessment. This past school year I was an Assistant Principal in my school, overseeing our K-2 instruction for four months and our third and fourth grade instruction for six months. As an Assistant Principal, I prepared our teachers to implement our curriculum in both math and literacy, as well as developed and coached our teachers to better improve their instruction. As such, I have extensive knowledge of the Common Core Standards in both Math and Literacy for the elementary grades, with particular expertise in the third and fourth grade standards. In addition to my ability to tutor elementary aged students, as an undergraduate student at Columbia I tutored middle school aged students through the Double Discovery Center. I have a strong background in the humanities and in writing, and have had demonstrated success in preparing students for standardized tests. With my background in teaching and leadership in a school setting, coupled with my skills gained as a student at Relay, I have developed strategic instructional moves that have led my students to find success across subject matters. I approach my work with each student with the understanding that he or she might need different supports to make academic gains; as a teacher and an Assistant Principal, I differentiated instruction to both support my lower performing students, and simultaneously push my high performing students to exceed expectations.My passion for education and student success, in addition to my ability to form strong relationships with my students, will help me find success with you or your student. Outside of my work in education, I love taking advantage of all that the city has to offer from visiting museums and seeing plays, to exploring unknown neighborhoods and finding new restaurants, I am always seeking out new adventures in New York!

I love to teach and have done it most of my life. While in high school,I volunteered to tutor fellow students who needed help, especially in Math,Science, and French. While attending graduate school at Princeton, I was ateaching assistant for undergraduates. During more than twenty years of clinical practice, I taught medical students and I have always gotten excellent evaluations from my students. I majored in Physics for my Bachelor's degree from Columbia. I received my Doctorate degree from University of Pennsylvania. I believe I can make all subjects I tutor more interesting for my students. I am a patient and calm person and easy to get along with. I have two grown children of my own whom I have tutored from time to time. I look forward to meeting you.

I have been tutoring students for 12 years, and I've taught students from kindergarten through medical school. I absolutely love math and science, and I try to share my enthusiasm for learning with all of my students.Teaching is not one-size-fits-all. My goal is to help each student achieve to the best of his or her ability by adapting my teaching style to the needs of each individual student. I believe that students can master (and enjoy!) any subject if they can find the right teacher.I'm available for tutoring in a wide range of subjects, including test preparation.

I am a graduate student at Columbia University currently majoring in South Asian Studies with a focus on history and postcolonial theory. I attended New College of Florida where I received my bachelor's degree in History. I am an aspiring professor and an avid student of all disciplines. My tutoring experience ranges from elementary school to graduate-level work, and I have specialized for the last two years in working with students with learning disabilities. My preferred subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE. My favorite subject, you may have guessed, is history, but I also have a long personal history learning foreign languages, and I feel that this contributes to my skill in teaching English reading comprehension. When I'm not teaching students or sitting in a library, I'm walking my Australian shepherd dog around Fort Tryon Park or shopping for used books.

Unwilling to pick between the humanities and the sciences, I studied both Anthropology and Sustainable Development at Columbia University. I have experience tutoring most subjects, but my strengths are test prep, studying and time management skills, and reading, writing, and critical thinking skills at any level. I love helping students find the way that works best for them to approach problem solving and learning. I am very interested in education and have experience working with both children and young adults in New York public schools as well as outdoor summer schools. I speak both French and Arabic and am learning Spanish, and in my free time I love to cook, read, and travel!

I hold a Bachelor's degree in English from Columbia University, where I read and studied a wide variety of literature. As a lifelong theater lover, my primary focus was dramatic literature and theory; my other academic interests include children's books, early American literature, and the history of literary theory from antiquity to the present.I tutor several subjects, including SAT prep, grammar and mechanics, study skills, and public speaking. But as someone who's often found the writing process agonizing, essay writing is the subject closest to my heart. I'm deeply sympathetic to any student who dreads sitting down to write an essay. English tutoring tends to attract people who have always enjoyed writing; they may find themselves stymied when faced with a student who has zero desire to write anything at all. I know firsthand how hard it can be to sit down and get words on the page, and over the years I've amassed an arsenal of ways to trick even the most recalcitrant student into writing a strong essay without having a nervous breakdown.I'm also happy to help students who want to get more organized and sharpen their study skills. At Columbia, I spent several semesters as a note-taker for the Office of Disability Services; i.e., in several separate classes, my notes were selected as exemplary and distributed each week to students whose learning disabilities impaired their ability to take their own notes. I also spent two years working in a lawyer's office, where I became even more rigorously organized, systematic, and detail-oriented than I had been in school. To my mind, the key to organization is to create a system with enough structure that it can be applied to almost any situation. But at the same time, the system exists to serve you; if you spend more time organizing your work rather than actually doing it, you may need to incorporate a little wiggle room.In my spare time, I enjoy reading, theater, yoga, and knitting.

I graduated from Columbia University in New York in comparative literature and since then I have been living in France! I love to tutor language and writing, Chinese is my maternal language, but I'm also fluent in english, french, and spanish.I am also now pursuing a masters degree in france where alongside continuing to teach languages and social issues at the university level (most recently for the University of Paris Nanterre) I am working on a thesis about the history of communism told through collaborations between state sanctioned publishing houses in China and the ex-Soviet bloc.

I received my Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia University with a concentration in Literature and Writing. In the many years between then and now, I have worked in several different industries, but always stayed very close to the education arena before finally entering education as a career. I come from a family of teachers, both at the elementary, middle school, and college levels, so education has always been a priority for me. I've taught Christian Education, remedial writing to adults, and introductory computer skills to children and adults when desktop computers were just beginning to be commonplace in schools and in people's homes. I've been a private high school administrator and mentor/coordinator for several high school clubs. I've interacted with students from all over the world while working in the high school because we accepted international enrollment and had a robust foreign exchange/study abroad program, so we always had students from Asia, Europe, South America, and Africa on our campus. I am a certified ESL online instructor for students who live here in the U.S., as well as overseas. I'm most proud of the fact that I also home-schooled my own two children for a couple of years, and they both went on to attend top-rated colleges (Cornell University and Mercer University). The subjects I tutor are ESL, reading, writing, basic language arts skills, and History. I believe the ability to communicate well is integral in today's society. Both native and non-native English speakers need good English speaking and writing skills to reach their goals and find success in their lives.

I am currently completing an MFA in Creative Writing at Columbia University, and before that I majored in English in undergrad. Since as long as I can remember reading and writing have been my principal passions, and I've been teaching, tutoring, and writing since completing college. I've taught ESL students in South Korea, and back in the US I've worked with learners of all ages from elementary school students to adults. In addition I've done some work as a freelance journalist. My teaching specialties include reading comprehension, vocabulary, essay writing, creative writing, and textual analysis.

For my undergraduate education, I attended the University of Pittsburgh where I received my B.S. in Neuroscience and minors in Chemistry and Spanish. Initially wanting to pursue a career in medicine, I enrolled in Columbia University's Institute of Human Nutrition where I received my M.S. in Human Nutrition. Through this program, I realized that I wanted to focus my career on improving health at the population level and thus am currently enrolled in Drexel University's School of Public Health where I will receive my M.P.H. in 2016. My tutoring experience began in high school where I tutored other high school students in math and the basic sciences. As an undergraduate, I also spent two and a half years as a teaching assistant for the Introduction to Chemistry courses during which I acquired extensive teaching techniques and skills. I tutor math, a broad range of science courses, and Spanish and love to tutor all of these subjects equally. Specifically, I enjoy tutoring students in Algebra because I believe that having strong skills in Algebra is essential to academic success in numerous other courses outside of mathematics. Furthermore, my extensive experience tutoring Chemistry students has provided me with excellent tools to guide students through this course. Finally, I have spent significant time in Costa Rica and Honduras, where I worked in medical clinics and often served as a translator for physicians. I also lived in Madrid, Spain for a month where I attended a Language Immersion Study Abroad program. Through these experiences, I have become extremely proficient and conversational in Spanish and love helping students learn this invaluable language. I am a firm believer that all students learn differently and identifying how each student best learns is essential to his/her academic success. Therefore, as a tutor, I aim to specifically tailor my teaching style to each student in order to help them maximize their potential. Outside of academics, I enjoy exercising, playing basketball, cooking, and attending concerts and other live performances in the Philadelphia area.

I am currently a junior at Columbia University studying Environmental Science with a focus on Sustainable Development. I have tutored since early high school in all subjects that range from high school entrance exam preparation (SHSAT in New York City as well as MAP and ISEE in Chicago) to the college process (all areas of SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests/College Essay help) to subject area helpmy favorites are middle and high school Math and Writing. Since I've been in intense academic settings for a lot of my life (Stuyvesant High School, University of Chicago, and now Columbia University), I always try to be a personable and positive figure with my tutees, because I understand what it's like at that age to have so much stress put upon you to improve your scores by X amount of points, and I want them to feel like a tutoring session is a relaxing but productive space where they shouldn't be afraid to ask questions and tell me what keeps tripping them up. As someone who has taken many of these tests and succeeded, I know the small things to practice and hone as well as the appropriate work schedule to help students not only understand the material or tests, but be able to noticeably improve their scores and cognitive skills.In high school I tutored students for the SHSAT as well as provided homework help after school near Stuyvesant HS. In college in Chicago, I also volunteer-tutored local kids as well as worked as an educational consultant and private tutor at an elite Chicago-area company. Thus, I have experience working with kids from all backgrounds, walks of life, and interests, so I like to think I'm ready for anything! Outside of academia, I enjoy exploring the New York City arts scene, journalism, hiking, and rollerblading.

In 2018, Ripsime earned her Masters of Arts degree from Columbia University in Global Thought with an emphasis in Development Economics. Her time studying abroad in Madrid allowed her an opportunity to perfect her Spanish and embrace Spanish Literature. Ripsime has extensive experience working with a variety of learners including English as a Second Language students, honors and AP students in reading comprehension, writing, and grammar. She has extensive experience working with students needing support in history, math (up to Calculus), English, Spanish and Science. Ripsime specializes in working with elementary through high school students. She received her Bachelors of Arts from Occidental College in 2016 in Diplomacy and World Affairs with minors in Math and Economics.

I am currently a first-year studying chemical engineering at Columbia University. I have tutored my peers throughout my high school career and currently I've been tutoring underprivileged elementary-aged students near Columbia's campus. I love working with children but am also excited to help older students be successful through their middle school and high school career. am willing to travel to locations relatively close to my campus (Morningside Heights area), can tutor students in public buildings on campus, and can tutor via online video-chat.

My goal is to create a learning environment that supplements the areas that I feel are missing from traditional schooling. I am currently working towards a degree in Computer Science and Mathematics at Columbia University in New York City. Throughout my studies I have noticed a strong correlation between my academic performance and my interest in a course. I think students become disheartened by certain subjects because they are not intrigued in the classroom. In school, one teaching style attempts to integrate a diverse array of student personalities to one way of thinking. This can become problematic as many students become lost at the extremities. My goal is to cater the subject to the individual so they can be motivated and successful throughout the remainder of their studies.Inside the classroom my favorite subjects are mathematics and any related quantitative learning. Logical problem solving has always been one of my strengths and I enjoy the fulfillment of finding concrete solutions. I am a strong teacher of mathematics because my understanding goes beyond the classroom since I am truly passionate about the field. Outside of the classroom my hobbies are diverse. I'm on Columbia University's Rugby Football Team and enjoy boxing and playing basketball when I have the time. I believe a well-rounded life is very important to success. I cherish the time I get to socialize with friends or go to concerts. I believe my outgoing nature allows me to create an inviting environment for all of my clients where we can learn together as we learn about one another.

I just finished my first year at Columbia University where I'm studying English (or maybe political science, philosophy, or whatever else catches my attention in the coming year). I've been tutoring for years, first as a high school student helping my peers as a member of the National Honors Society, and later to help students prepare for standardized tests like the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams. I'm also a Senior Staff Writer for Columbia's student newspaper, the Daily Spectator, so I'm pretty much constantly editing and giving advice to my fellow writers. I love sharing my excitement for learning with students, and I hope to be able to provide advice, preparation and insight to make the college application process a little less of a guessing game while reducing stress as much as possible.

Hi there! My name is Jeannette and I would be delighted to help your child reach his or her academic goals.My tutoring experience rests upon a solid educational foundation: After having graduated in the top 1% of my high school class, I obtained a BA, cum laude, in French and Romance Philology from Columbia University. I then moved to Paris and earned a French master's in Finance from Sciences Po, a school belonging to the "French Ivy League." I stayed in France for over four years before moving to Sweden to earn a second master's degree in Sustainable Development as an Uppsala University Scholar.Throughout my international studies and business career, I have taken the opportunity to tutor students of all ages--including those in elementary school, middle school, high school, and college. As a result, I am committed to providing a well-rounded, tailored, and fulfilling educational experience for your child.

Hello! I am Robert. I recently graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Economics and Slavic Studies. Having gone through the grind of preparing for the SAT and ACT exams, I am well aware of how daunting a challenge this can be. Still, these exams are based on a small set of basic patterns, if you know how to crack them quickly, you will succeed!I have tutored the ACT and SAT for two years for the test-prep companies Top-A International and Hermiona Education. When applying to colleges, I chose to take both exams, scoring a 2300/2400 in the SAT and a 34 on the ACT. My experience taking the exams taught me the importance of developing effective test-taking strategies and knowing your weak spots. Therefore, I develop a unique curriculum for every student, that caters to his or her strengths and weaknesses.I also have 2 years' experience teaching English, where I combine fun activities with an in-depth study of grammar. My students have gone on to study in American Universities and thrive in the US. I speak French, Russian and Spanish, and love helping others crack the secrets to language learning!I am a native Russian speaker, born in Saint Petersburg. I have served as a translator for the United Nations, NYC Board of Elections and private clients. I have a university background in Russian, through which I can assist in grammar practice.Whether it is SAT, English prep or Russian, I am dedicated to helping you master your subject of interest! Particularly in language-related skills, it is crucial that you are confident in your potential to improve and are not scared to make mistakes. I have a a flexible schedule, you may contact me for further information.

I am a junior at Columbia University double majoring in Financial Engineering and Computer Science. Since high school, I have extensively tutored French students for standardized testing (SAT/ACT). This helped me bridge the obvious language gap whilst breaking down the tests into their fundamentals to better grasp the strategy behind them. I firmly believe in learning-by-doing which is why I encourage all my students to try first before revising their methods and understanding of the subjects. I am fluent in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and English which I believe helps me communicate the very essence of the subject as opposed to a numbered list of tasks which might not help all types of students. In my spare time, I enjoy catching up on the Financial Times, trying my hand at new languages and designing clothing.

Education: Wellesley College, Columbia Business School. About me: I'm a professional writer, with experience in speech writing, corporate writing, copywriting for brands and writing for television. Growing up, my favorite time was spent leading school clubs and I mostly enjoyed mathematics, history and literature. I believe that learning is about learning how you best interpret ideas. My goal is to help you find a nonchalant relationship with your passion and talent so that you can take on any subject. I was admitted to 10/11 elite colleges to which I applied and have worked with U.S. presidents, celebrities and leading national organizations.

I want to help students understand math and science on a deeper level and build good mathematical and scientific intuition. I work closely with my students to find ways to teach that best complement their learning style.

I majored in both Classics and Chemistry at Colgate University (2011-2015) and I continued my study of the classics at the graduate level at Columbia University (2015-2016). While I am confident in both my quantitative and verbal skills, I consider my primary strength to lie in standardized test-taking, the process of which I profoundly enjoy, strange as it is to say.To my mind, taking a test imparts the same kind of pleasure as listening to your favorite kind of music. You have a certain, almost intuitive sense of what to expect: certain instruments might be playing at a certain tempo, while the general format of the examinations almost never changes. Even so, there's always something new at hand: notes can be combined into chords played in different orders, and the numbers of a math problem might be altered. Listening to music and taking tests both reward perseverance: one might notice nuances and subtleties in one's favorite song and hearing it repeatedly, and a person's objective score on a test will inevitably increase through constant exposure. Most importantly, a sense of rhythm is invaluable, quite literally in the case of listening to music but figuratively in the case of test-taking, where you develop your personalized method to remaining calm in the face of more challenging problems in a time-efficient manner.Outside of academia, I am interested in drama, literature, and dance. I consider myself agreeable and patient.

A summa cum laude graduate of Vanderbilt University with degrees in biochemistry and architecture, I am a current graduate student at Columbia University in the City of New York. Tutoring since high school, I have worked with students ages 11-22 (from middle school through college) in subjects as varied as math, organizational skills, PRAXIS prep, and of course, biochemistry! Additionally, I am well-versed in GRE, SAT, ACT, and AP exam coaching. Outside of the classroom, I have and continue to work in biochemical laboratories, play viola in an orchestra, and cross-country hike. As a student of pedagogy, I adapt to each student's unique needs to deliver hands-on approaches that use real world examples and provide mastery in comprehension. I believe that knowledge is power, but only in the application and advancement of knowledge can one find success.

I have been tutoring students in math and science and standardized test prep for over ten years. All of my students' scores and grades have improved. As one mom said "Before Gil, Ethan was getting a C in chemistry. After Gil, A-!! Thank you Gil!!" I can help you!I have unlimited patience (thanks in part to raising my seven year old son!) and am very supportive. I encourage questions and believe in making a safe environment where any question is encouraged and no one is afraid to tell me they don't understand something, or to go over something, even if we have already gone over it. Sometimes a different angle or explanation is required, as every student learns differently. I love when my students have that "A-ha!" moment, when something that was not clear becomes clear.I realize all students are different and am happy to work in different subjects with students of different levels and ages and abilities. I can help you!

My greatest passion is helping others. I enjoy doing so by leading students to a meaningful understanding of new material and showing them various strategies for approaching a problem.I have been tutoring both children and my peers for about ten years. I worked as a tutor for elementary, middle, and high school students privately and with tutoring centers. I was a teaching assistant in the General Engineering course at NYU and a science teacher at a charter school for students in K-4th grade.I enjoy tutoring math and science (especially chemistry) from the elementary to college level.I am currently an graduate student at Columbia University studying Biomedical Engineering. I obtained my Bachelor in Science from NYU in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.

I am currently getting my Masters degree in Public Health at Columbia University!

I graduated from UC Berkeley with a Bachelor's in Chemical Biology and have a Masters in Chemistry at Columbia University. I have over 5 years of STEM tutoring experience and 1 year of teaching experience as a graduate student instructor. I have worked with students of all grade levels in various settings. This includes different sized groups from one-on-one to larger classes as well as virtually and in person. I love science, biology and chemistry especially, but math is a close second. My approach to learning is holistic, and I look beyond the grade to making sure that a strong understanding of the subject is achieved. Outside of school, I love listening to music, playing video games, and enjoying the outdoors.

I am a dedicated and enthusiastic tutor who strongly believes that anyone can learn anything with the right attitude and an open mind.My main background is in test prep and college readiness, with a focus on test-taking strategies that build self-esteem and improve performance. I began tutoring for a private company while I was a student at Columbia University in New York. While there, I had the opportunity to teach students of all backgrounds and levels of ability. My unique approach to SAT and ACT test-prep focuses just as much on "learning the test" as it does learning the material, which gives students a sense of confidence and courage on test day.My expertise in "big test" prep translates to the regular school environment as well, whether it be building better study habits, better relationships to class material, or finding new ways to make material accessible--at any age, in any subject, it is the job of a great tutor to find a way in!
