I believe education plays a vital role in the success of young people. I believe everyone is capable of learning given proper opportunities and sufficient attention. Most importantly, I believe I understand how to help, motivate, and communicate what I have learned to students and can therefore contribute to enhancing the prospects of young people.

Hi! I am an alumnus of the Bronx High School of Science and a rising sophomore at Macaulay Honors at Baruch College. I first started to tutor when I was in middle school. I assisted elementary school students that were either relatives or family friends. I continued my passion for teaching in high school, guiding many students through a variety of standardized tests from Kindergarten to 8th grade including the Gifted and Talented examination and the Common Core ELA and Math assessments. When I became a upperclassman, I began tutoring students at a private tutoring company for Regents exams primarily in math subjects and for the SHSAT exam. Finally, I became a manager with a goal of increasing student performance by ensuring that all classes at the tutoring center were accurately and efficiently being taught.

There are few things as rewarding as learning; helping students feel the same way is one of my main focuses. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to know who my learners are, what kinds of knowledge and experience they bring to the table, and what they want to achieve so that I can tailor a curriculum that fits their needs and yet leaves enough room to accommodate topics that emerge.I especially love teaching when the learning in my classroom/with a student is palpable. I believe that teachers who demonstrate curiosity and passion about a subject area motivate students.My philosophy of teaching is informed by the material I teach, relevant scholarship, and the lessons I have learned from personal teaching successes and failures.I have many years experience tutoring for SAT and ACT, as well as all high school level math and English.

I am a passionate educator with multiple degrees in math and statistics and extensive experience in education.Degrees: Master in Science in Statistics from CUNY-Baruch College, Bachelor of Science in Mathematics from International Turkmen-Turkish University.Experience: tutoring - 3 years (grades 6-11), teaching - 1 year full-time Math teacher (grades 6-11).Subjects: Statistics, AP Statistics, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Pre-Algebra, Middle School Math.My teaching philosophy: Effective learning requires a collaboration between teacher, students and parents grounded in mutual respect and trust. Education is the most valuable aspect of a person's life and the most important thing that human has created.

A kind hearted, friendly, professional and trained tutor. I am extremely passionate about teaching, I find the position personally satisfying and beneficial to the students I work with. I am a great communicator and listener, and have the ability to understand a student's needs. I love creating lesson plans, organising work flow and interacting with the students. Education is a passion of mine and creating a safe, friendly and productive environment for my students to learn is a top priority. I have worked as a tutor for many years and I believe my experience will be an asset to Varsity Tutors and their clients.

I received my MBA in Finance in 2013 and my Bachelors in English, French, and Business in 2007.

I love tutoring and teaching because I love sharing my knowledge and perspective on topics with my students. I love seeing the confidence in their faces after our tutoring sessions.Mathematics can be hard! But no worries, I'm here to help you understand by putting it in layman's terms and achieve academic success!I graduated from Baruch College - City University of New York with a Bachelors degree, majoring in finance and minoring in mathematics. I have 5+ years of tutoring experience on various subjects, such as calculus, statistics and finance. I also worked several years in the finance industry applying those quantitative skills in my day-to-day job.

I am a graduate of SUNY Westchester Community College and CUNY Baruch College. I received my Associate's in Accounting and my Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance with a minor in Music Theory. As an undergrad at WCC, I have worked in the relevant field, as a Junior Accountant at a CPA firm and an after school enrichment teacher with Bricks 4 Kidz; 2-4 days a week I had classes ranging 5-20 students. Doing this and managing a lego store for 3 years taught me that in order to teach, you must learn your student. I was an Accounting Administrator for 2 years at a real estate company that operates in the US and Ireland. I am QuickBooks Online Certified and I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life, and I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy playing baseball, practicing guitar, ukulele, & piano, building legos, and managing my personal finances. The subjects I tutor are numerical based. I am most passionate about Math, Music and Accounting. I decided to start tutoring because I enjoy driving results and I want to contribute to a brighter future.

I am a recent graduate of a top business university and currently working in the Finance and Investments industry. I have faced the stress of taking numerous AP and SAT exams and I have taken extensive math and science courses throughout my high school and college career. I believe in incorporating my academic and professional examples to help students understand the application of what I teach in the real world.

Hi, I'm a senior at Baruch College majoring in Corporate Communications. My minor is Psychology. I'm in my last semester of college, graduating a semester early to pursue a career in Public Relations as well as Relationship Management.I am currently living in Tribeca, but I am previously from New Jersey. In NJ, I attended Watchung Hills Regional High School and tutored for 3 years starting my sophomore year. I tutored younger students and classmates in main math courses and writing and reading comprehension.My main focus for tutoring is to establish a productive relationship with my student to help them reach their learning potential and motivate them to learn the subject up to a proficient level. I'm just here to help!

I am a have completed all the requirements for a Finance Ph.D. with the exception of defending my thesis. I have a Master of Science in Statistics and a Finance MBA. Translating Finance, Statistics, Math, and Accounting into simple easy to understand concepts is my specialty. I have over a decade of tutoring experience, and over four years of experience as an adjunct professor at Baruch College teaching Statistics, Finance and Econometrics. I am very familiar with both the concepts and the many difficulties that students encounter. Whether you need to pass an exam in a few days or help with an assignment that is due tomorrow, I can be of assistance.

I am a 3rd Grade Special Education Teacher in NYC. I recently finished my Masters in Special Education at PACE University and graduated with Cum Laude distinction. I"m also pursuing my Ph.D. in Special Education at Regent University. At the completion of my Doctoral program, I plan to pursue a second career in making effective changes to Special Education at the curricular level and administratively, and also instruct rising educators on how to constructively aid Special Education students at the elementary level.

I am a 3rd-year student at Baruch College. I am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree for Computer Information Systems. I want to share my passion for STEM with the world. I am willing to be the best tutor you will ever have.

I love math and would very much like to help your child understand the beauty of math. I'm a math major and I have two years of experience teaching math in a classroom environment. I would be able to help the struggling student pass and do well in any math class. In my time as a middle school teacher, I found that explaining the importance of the subject, and how the subject relates and is useful to everyday life as the best way to help the student maintain an interest in the subject. I also found that breaking down the topic in which the student is struggling in to smaller more manageable bits to be the best road to understanding the subject matter. In my spare time I love to read especially sci-fi / fantasy, watch sports, and do outdoor activities such as hiking and boating.

I currently work at the Girls Prep Bronx Elementary School as a school aide and I love my job! working with kids is a passion of mine and it drives me to be the best educator I can. During the summer I work at a sleep away camp as the sports director. I love being outdoors and active. I attending Morehouse College, Buffalo State College, and Baruch College while completing my bachelor's degree in business. I am in the process of selecting a masters program in education that will begin this summer. I have 2 years experience doing 1 on 1 tutoring and it is very effective compared to classroom teaching because there is only one student to focus on. I look forward to working with you and helping you or your child get better. Always remember, even the best of us need help and support from others to be successful.

I was born in Japan and studied Japanese literature at Fukuoka Women's University and hold a Bachelor's degree and received a Teacher's Certificate in High School Japanese from the Japanese government. I learned how to teach Japanese to foreigners at the Continuing Education Programs of NYU. I also hold an MBA from Baruch College, City University of New York and worked as a banker in the US, helping Japanese companies do business in the US as well as assisting US companies to develop their business in Japan. I also worked as a Japanese-English translator, introducing Japanese books to American readers. I'm interested in language and also in arts and culture. For example, I like visiting museums, going to see operas, and practicing Japanese Tea Ceremony. It makes me feel very rewarded when I can help others achieve their goals. I would like to conduct each session to suit the student's particular need and motivation whether it is general interest in Japanese culture and language, or preparation for an upcoming trip to Japan, or doing well in school work.

I graduated at Baruch College majoring in Actuarial Science. I've been teaching/tutoring mathematics for 5 years. I like looking at data and analyzing it. My goal is to become an actuary.

Teaching is my favorite part time activity. I am an experienced teacher with relevant skill in educating, guiding, mentoring students in undergraduate, graduate and financial certification courses. I have been mentoring High School and college level students for many years now. I have a special knack towards this activity because of its inherent challenge. One cannot outshine as a good tutor unless one is an effective communicator and presents every thought in a simple understandable manner. This is precisely the niche that gives me an edge over others. I have always handled complex and challenging tasks systematically and have adapted myself to their needs achieving outstanding performance at the end. I believe learning is fun and make the whole process as interactive and straightforward as possible so that at the end of the day, the students can grasp the concepts without going through a rigorous stress. I am always available for any course related questions outside the class. Aside from having experience in proactively leading many classes, online sessions, training and presentations, I possess an excellent knowledge, which is reflected in my overall GMAT (740 out of 800) and TOEFL IBT (114 out of 120) score. I have attended the prestigious KTDP program of the prestigious KAPLAN institution. I have been involved in tutoring assignments with Manhattan Elite Prep for the past 7+ years. With more than 10 years of work experience in the financial services industry, I can bring to students the correlation between theoretical knowledge and the practical know-how.

I attended CUNY (City University of New York). I earned my A.A.S from NYCT College. While working as an intern I went on to earn by Bachelor's degree in Operations Management at Baruch College.Currently, I work as a substitute teacher at NYC Charter Schools. It is a pleasure to have a chance on a daily basis to go to different schools and teach different subjects. Some days I work with a classroom that may have up to 30 students. It could be Primary, Middle, or High school students. Other times I work with one student for the school day. We work on all classroom subjects including math, reading, writing, social studies and others.My teaching style is to encourage participation. I want my students to ask questions. Different students learn at different rate however if the student is participating by asking questions, motivation level is elevated hence a higher chance to learn the given subject.When I am not working, I love to read but I also like watching British comedies and the Doctor Who series.

I love learning, and I love sharing my love of learning with others. My goal is to help others gain the knowledge they need, and to enjoy the process of gaining knowledge.

I grew up helping peers and family with subjects they seem to struggle in. I was always an independent learner but relaying what I learned and applying it has been a fairly easy job for me and would like to pass it on to others.Typically I relate the subject back to the individual to bring an enlightening and fun element to learning. I see that people tend to learn more efficiently and seem to handle and enjoy learning the subject they once faced with difficulty. I believe that tough situations can always be tackled with an optimistic view and a couple jokes to ease the tension and get on track for success.

As an NYU graduate student earning my M.P.A., my passion is in helping students embrace the ability to understand the material at hand well enough to teach the material to others. With experience tutoring in a broad range of subjects, I am well-versed in English Literature, Critical thinking, Elementary - High School Mathematics, and College Readiness. As a product of the NYC school system, I am fully aware of the trials students face as they balance academic achievement with standardized testing and educational progress. I enjoy playing guitar, boxing, and spending time with friends and family. Let's learn to succeed together!

I like to consider myself a fairly quantitative person. My inquisitive nature led me to studying Mathematics at Baruch College, where I've taken a myriad of courses in both pure and applied math. Understanding the importance of education, I've always been fascinated by teachers and the impact they're able to have on students both in and out of the classroom. Hence, this led me to tutoring students myself, which I have been doing since high school. Most of my experience tutoring lays in mathematics, as that's what I consider myself to be most passionate about. I like to cater my teaching style towards the needs of the student, meaning I approach each session with a flexible mindset, as every student has different goals. In my free time, I enjoy reading, running, swimming, and studying/playing chess.

I am a graduate of the University of Florida. I received a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Bachelor of Arts in Marketing, and a Masters of Science in Marketing. I am currently pursuing my PhD in Marketing at Baruch College. I have tutored a wide range of topics and have worked with students at all levels. I enjoy sharing my passion for learning with students and I hope to inspire students to feel confident and capable in their abilities. I am qualified to tutor a wide variety of subjects but I most enjoy tutoring Statistics and Writing. I take the time to get to know every one of my students so I can develop a plan to ensure that they achieve their goals. In my spare time I enjoy running, traveling, reading, and exploring New York City.

I am currently in college working towards my Bachelor's Degree in Economics. Learning doesn't stop the moment you leave the classroom or even the moment you graduate from school. Outside of tutoring I enjoy playing video games (you can learn many things from different ones), Math, Biology, interacting with animals, and taking outside walks. One of the reasons I like Math is because it involves a lot of creativity and reasoning, which are both crucial in not only succeed in life, but help us understand who we are.Knowledge and Education go hand-in-hand, and when both are used together, you have the power to change the world positively and help others realize their potential as well. No child's circumstance ever limits their potential!

They say you "can't study for standardized tests." That may be true, but you can hone the skills needed to do well on them, and I have the experience to help you do just that.As a high schooler, I aced the SAT and took 9 AP classes; as a student at the University of Chicago, I developed exemplary writing and critical reading skills; and as a tutor, I learned how to convey those skills to students of all ages, from many different backgrounds, in both one-on-one and group settings.Need to raise those scores? Having trouble telling a participle from a predicate? Want to make your college essay the best it can be? I'm here to help.

I am currently attending Baruch College (CUNY). I am majoring in Actuarial Sciences at Baruch.Throughout my academic career, both in high school and college, I have always been passionate about math and tutoring. This past year I have also tutored younger students who were prepping for the SHSAT.From my experience I have noticed students who are struggling in math only need a certain push to keep them on track. I firmly believe with the right help, students can not only be able to solve problems and understand material but they can approach tests with confidence. Math isn't impossible and I'm here to show my students that with a serious mindset they can succeed in their tests and should have no reason to be afraid.In my spare time I enjoy watching soccer, playing soccer, and performing magic.

I was born and raised in Shanghai, China and came to the United States about 9 years ago. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Business from University of San Francisco and my Master's Degree in Accountancy from Baruch College in New York City. I used to work as the program assistant for the language department and my responsibility was helping students register for the HSK, the Chinese proficiency test. I currently work as a Certified Public Accountant with PricewaterhouseCoopers, but I still volunteer to teach at public schools in New York whenever I have time because I found myself really enjoy teaching and learning about students at the same time. In addition, with my experience in tutoring Mandarin during both undergraduate and graduate studies, I believe I can help students speak fluent Mandarin Chinese as well as understand Chinese culture.As we know, Mandarin Chinese is a challenging language. To make students interested in learning pinyin and grammar, I will provide you with dictations, tests, and quizzes while keeping you entertained by doing some skits and dialogues to practice the tones. I also offer classes for people who plan to travel to China and just want to pick up a few Chinese words and sentences in order to have a nice and relaxing vacation.I will say tutoring is my one of my hobbies. In my spare time, I also like to travel and read.

I come from a multi-ethnic family who immigrated to Latin America from the Middle East during the early 1900s with hopes for a better and more comfortable life. They embraced Latino culture, attained fluency in Spanish, and successfully ran their own clothing business. In the mid-1960s, my grandparents immigrated to New York City, learned the English language, and settled in the place of my birth - Brooklyn, New York.In the years of 1998-2002, I have completed a Bachelors of Business Administration with a concentration in Computer Information System at Baruch College, City University of New York. I graduated with Magna Cum Laude Honors, a cumulative GPA of 3.5, and as member of the International Golden Key Honors Society. Shortly thereafter, my career transitioned from business to education as I have pursued further studies in teaching. After having completed an array of graduate level pedagogical courses with the College of New Rochelle, Fordham University, Brooklyn College, and the College of Mount Saint Vincent, I successfully passed the following teacher's New York State teacher certification exams:Liberal Arts and Science Test (LAST)Assessment of Teaching Skills-Written (ATS-W, Secondary)English Content Specialty Test (CST)Multi-Subject CSTEnglish to Speakers of Other Languages CST (ESOL)Literacy CSTStudents with Disabilities CSTMy first teaching experience began in the Fall of 2002. I taught English Language Arts and Literature to junior and high school students. During my teaching experience, I managed with excellent results, an intensive and cohesive workload of teaching based on NYS Standards. I prepared multilingual students for both the ELA and SS New York State exam. Majority of my students scored on or above state standards for their grade level, which is a great accomplishment considering that English is their second language. I directed, supervised, and taught, a research paper composition/computer technology class, in an intensive science research program for exceptionally talented students of grades 6 through 8. Integrating technology into classroom teaching has motivated my students to become high achievers as their diverse learning styles and needs continue to be met.In 2010, I completed a Master of Science in education with a concentration in TESOL at the College of New Rochelle and took several professional development courses and workshops to enhance my knowledge and skills in the field of education. From 2014-2016, I was a full-time high school ENL teacher and coordinator at New Visions AMS III High School and part time adjunct professor of ENL and English at the Union County College.I believe that my greatest strength as a teacher is my ability to inspire students to use their talents and resources available to them to expand their horizons and achieve their goals and aspirations. Many students who started out with a negative attitude towards learning were able to transcend their prior indifferences and develop the strong study skills and self-confidence needed to perform beyond their expectations. Moreover, by recognizing the diversity of linguistic backgrounds and cultures which characterize the students and their families, I was able to design lessons from all content areas to build cultural awareness and appreciation throughout the curriculum. I was able to utilize my knowledge, skills, and cultural sensitivities that are all crucial to meeting the needs of students, and especially those whose primary language is other than English. Throughout my many years of teaching, I have worked largely with students from diverse cultural, ethnic, and linguistic backgrounds. Through teaching, I have developed a profound love and appreciation for the children of my community. As I interacted with the students, I began to realize how deprived most of them were of a real and fair education. I dedicated my career to enriching these students' lives with the fundamentals necessary to help them become self-sufficient and independent learners and contributors to society. By recognizing the diversity of linguistic backgrounds and cultures which characterize students and their families, I was able to design lessons from all content areas to build cultural awareness and appreciation throughout the curriculum. I was able to utilize my knowledge, skills, and cultural sensitivities to meet the needs of students whose primary language was other than English.As an instructor, I always strive to benefit my students by helping them achieve the knowledge and skills needed in order to reach their highest aspirations.

Hello, my name is William, I have a degree in economics from Baruch College and am located in New York, NY. I hope I can help you achieve your academic goals.

I attend the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences at Baruch College. I was born and raised by two loving Dominican parents who never let me forget where I came from. I was surrounded by family and friends of my culture who always embraced and celebrated who they were. My native language is Spanish and even as a child I learned to appreciate being able to speak two languages. I love my Spanish culture and I also love the English language, so I decided to major in English and Spanish to improve my reading, writing and communication skills in both languages. My family, friends and teachers have inspired me to pursue a career in teaching. I love to learn and I love kids. I hope to be an amazing teacher soon, and if I'm lucky I'll be able to inspire all of my students as well.

Currently I am a junior at Baruch College.I have A's on every Japanese language class in Baruch.When I immigrated to the US, I became interested in Japanese culture where there was Japanese television on Fridays. When those programming licensing ended, I turned to the internet.In the second semester in college, I took the opportunity to enroll in the first Elementary Japanese class. I was able to get an A in the class. I have taken all the required classes and have become proficient in Japanese.In addition to tutoring Japanese, I can tutor high school math, test prep, and business courses.

I am a recent Summa Cum laude graduate in Economics at Baruch College. I am presently starting a Master's in Applied Mathematics at Queens College, hoping to obtain the necessary math skills to obtain what is one of my major goals: a PhD in Economics.There are two events through college that made me realize that in the future pedagogy as a College Professor could be one of my professions: teaching fellow classmates about a subject during group studies, and helping cousins via Skype with their homework.I personally believe that a person doesn't, solely, master a subject when he "aces" an exam, but when he is also able to communicate what he has mastered to another person and have that person "ace" as well.So here I am, wanting to help you "ace" that subject that has been giving you problems. But most important of all, have you realize that you can make it; that if you put the time, and with an extra push from my part, as a team, you will get that perfect score you strive for.

I am a current undergraduate student at the City University of New York Baruch College and am working towards a Bachelor's degree in Actuarial Science with a focus in Economics and Communication. I am an honors student and will also be receiving a secondary degree from the Macaulay Honors College. I have tutored several middle and high school students in Algebra, Calculus, Economics, and SAT Preparation. Many of my students have gone on to do well on the New York State Regents Exams, AP Exams, and SAT and ACT Exams. I am most passionate and enthusiastic about teaching Math because I love how organized and formulaic it is. I have always loved tutoring students because I enjoy seeing them improve in subjects they have previously struggled with.I understand that each student has their own strengths and weaknesses and that some subjects may not be for everyone. This being said, I admit that I used to dislike Math a great deal but I was fortunate to have excellent Math teachers who inspired me and instilled my passion for Math. It is my hope that I can inspire my students in the same way I have been inspired. I would describe my tutoring method as very patient and organized. I always try to understand what the student's strengths and weaknesses are and then go from there. I explain each step carefully and then allow the student to eventually try more difficult topics on their own once I have helped them understand the concepts they need to know. I encourage a great deal of practice and organization to help clarify any problem areas the student might have.Other than academia, I enjoy reading, playing sports, and exercising. I have been an avid reader since I was very young and always try to read as much as I can because it is relaxing, enjoyable, and beneficial. I try to stay active with sports and exercise because it helps relieve stress and is also very fun. I enjoy competing in sports, especially with friends, particularly in basketball and football.

Hello :)I am a recent graduate from Macaulay Honors program at Baruch College. Since graduation, I have worked as a financial associate in a global bank. I have tutored students since 11th grade in a variety of English and math subjects, including standardized prep. I love helping students improve their knowledge, and am sure I can be of help to you, especially in grammar!

I am currently studying Finance at Baruch College. I enjoy learning and being a student as well as helping others who struggle academically. I began part-time tutoring in high school and have been doing it ever since. I love getting to know my students and building relationships with them because I feel it will improve the overall experience. With passion, dedication, and a little bit of humor, we can surpass any academic difficulties!

I am currently a senior at Baruch College in New York City. At Baruch, I am working on a Bachelor of Economics degree, which I will have completed by May of 2016. I have received an Associates in Arts and Science as well as a Minor in English. I have a study strategy in which I learn subjects in class to the point where I can explain it to someone who has never heard of it before. I have found that this way of studying has not only enhanced my learning ability, but it has helped other students receive high grades as well. Ever since High School, I have always been one to help out others who struggle with the material taught in class. In college, I have helped numerous classmates understand course material as well. I have led multiple study groups in an effort to not only learn by teaching others but to have the opportunity to see my peers succeed as well. I genuinely enjoy seeing students who I have helped get the grades that I know they are truly capable of.
