I am a certified ESL Instructor. I studied Cross-cultural Communication at Brooklyn College and have experience teaching ESL in both the U.S. and Haiti. I knew that teaching ESL was something that I wanted to do because throughout my childhood I had to be a translator for my mother. I was born and raised in New York City but have firsthand experience with how challenging life can get when you're living in a place where the language, and consequently the culture, is foreign to you. In regards to education, being able to learn new information is challenging enough but then becomes more challenging when you struggle with the language. This is why I want to help! I understand that I am very blessed to be able to communicate articulately and I am so excited to help others communicate that way too!

Hello, my name is Anastasiya. I am currently a college student in Brooklyn College and I am majoring in Special Education in Early Childhood. I have been tutoring for one full year in reading, writing and phonics. I have a lot of experience with tutoring children in school, outside of school and online. Some of my hobbies are cooking, hiking, spending time with my friends and family. I have a passion for volleyball but never pursued it as an professional sport because of an injury. Also, I had danced for 11 years of my life, professionally and just for fun.

Hi!I am a graduate student pursuing my EdM degree at the University at Buffalo! I have experience working with children from grades K-12, and am passionate about helping them improve their Math and Literacy Skills. I care about your success in the classroom, as well as outside the classroom. That is why our sessions will never be bland :) Together, we can overcome any hurdle, and turn the "I can't" into "I can."

My tutoring journey began shortly after cracking the 99th percentile on the SAT as a high school senior. This was the start of what has now been an 8 year journey! I have worked with 50+ students, mostly in the areas of math, science and standardized testing. After college, I spent two years working as a biology teacher at a top charter school in NYC where my classes ranked #1 by test results. I left teaching to pursue a role as a financial analyst, but I have maintained a full roster of 1-1 private students since. I truly love working with students to help them achieve more than they (and their parents) thought possible. Let's get in touch to discuss how we can make your son/daughter a top performing student. Here are my areas of expertise: -SAT/ACT -Math (algebra, geometry, trig, stats, precalc, calculus) -Science (biology, chemistry, physics) -AP exams -SHSAT, ISEE, TACHS, HSPT -NYS Regents exams

I am a passionate educator with specialties in physics, physical science, the college application process, and college application essay writing. I have a bachelor's degree in Physics from Barnard College, and a Master's Degree in Science Education. I have over eight years of experience in science education ranging from tutoring undergraduate physics students and teaching middle school biology, chemistry, physics and earth science. I also have two years of experience advising students through the college application process, and revising college application essays. I'm excited to meet and work with you!

Hello, my name is Jake Sanders, I am a graduate student and writing instructor in the English department at the University at Buffalo. I study 20th century American and British literature, but have experience taking the SAT, AP Subject tests in Literature and Psychology, and the GRE General and Subject test in Literature. My scores are included in my profile. I am also a writing technique tutor at the Center for Excellence in Writing at UB and enjoy working one-on-one with students from a variety of academic backgrounds, including in Science and Engineering. I am happy to travel to libraries or elsewhere to tutor. I am looking forward to hearing from you!

I have tutored Spanish for the past 10 years. I have experience with all different age groups. One of my teaching tools is through music. Lets explore this language and culture together!

I hold a BA from UMass Amherst in Political Economy and MS from Brooklyn College in Mathematics Education, both summa cum laude. I am currently attending NYU Wagner, working on my Masters in Public Administration with a concentration in Education Policy.I have been a NYC DOE math teacher for the past four years, three years as a 6th- 8th grade math teacher and my last year teaching Algebra, Geometry/Trig and Health. I have taught classes ranging from advance placement to remedial, including CCT and ESL. I absolutely believe that every student can succeed in math. My approach to teaching/tutoring is building confidence through math. Often times, I have students who say they "don't get it." However, I show them they may not get the whole picture yet, but they do have an understanding of some. And by showing them tangible steps they can use time and again, students see they can "get it". Those "ah-ha" moments are not only building blocks in their skills, but more importantly, reinforcing who they are and their abilities.For my students who already have confidence in their math ability, it is about pushing them to the next level. Math is about problem solving, puzzles and thinking outside the box. By presenting problems within their skillset but slightly beyond their experience, it allows for the imaginary side of math to emerge while preparing them to approach a new problem with confidence.As the Math Department Head of my school, I have an intricate understanding of math standards for 6th- 12th grade, as well as the new Common Core Standards being piloted through NYC this year. This knowledge paired with my classroom understanding has been key to not only preparing my students for their current grade but really hone in what knowledge they will really need for the next sequential math classes. Recognized as a DOE Honors Teacher, I have prepared students for various standardized test, Regents, AP and SATs with great results. Grading the DOE math exams for 3-8th grade, Algebra and Math A/B Regents has given me the knowledge as to what the state looks for as well.Math has always been my favorite subject. It pains me when a student says they hate math because it usually means they encountered a past teacher who cared more about "the right answer" then the multiple approaches to understanding the answer.

I prioritize creating a strong relationship between the student and family in order to align with your goals. I can provide tailored and differentiated intervention using my knowledge from a Masters in Education to meet your academic needs. Let's discuss how I can best support you.

MA in History and BA in Psychology, with 3 years as a writing tutor and 2 years as a philosophy tutor at Brooklyn College. I tutor U.S. History, World History, Big History, social studies, writing, ESL, philosophy, and psychology. I adapt to what works for you, instructional or conversational, and help you understand facts and ideas, build strong papers, and grasp the bigger picture.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in physical education. Very optimistic and patient educator here to help you! My specialty is in elementary school science and health and nutritional sciences.

My passion for math and reading started at a very young age, but I quickly understood these subjects aren't fun for everyone. I started tutoring my peers in elementary school, and went on to organize formal peer tutoring groups in middle and high school, to help bridge gaps between teachers' expectations and my peers' reality.I've used my lifelong passion for math and problem solving to obtain my Master's degree in Computer Science, but I know that without a solid background in math and reading, my advanced degree would have been difficult to achieve.I prefer students to understand, from their unique point of view, why 1+1=2, why x*y=z or why "knock" only has one 'k' sound. Kids have a lot going on in their academic and personal lives, so I take time to talk to my students, take a few steps back from the problem and understand how they're tackling the problem. I've found that this conversation facilitates my understanding of how the student learns, and lends to their deeper understanding of concepts to apply to future, independent problem solving.

I am highly dedicated to child development. I believe that all children can learn and children learn best through modeling and guided practice. The following are some of my qualifications.I currently hold a Master's degree in Childhood Special Education for student with learning disabilities, and a double BA from Brooklyn College in Childhood General Education and Psychology. I graduated with honors from both institutions. I have tutored a second grade student as part of the Hunter College Learning Lab. In this program, I was responsible for assessing and teaching a special needs student. I assessed the student using various methods, including the Qualitative Reading Inventory, and DIBELS. Based on the results of the assessments I designed a program to target the student's needs. I have also taught fifth grade for three months as a part of student teaching, as well as 2nd and 3rd grade for two years at a Yeshiva in Brooklyn. I have also taught as a substitute teacher for School Professionals. I am currently working for Lefferts Gardens Charter School as a 1st grade special education teacher. In these positions I am responsible for creating interactive lessons in English language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, and Science. In addition, I implemented positive reinforcement system to help with classroom management and reward good behavior. I am detail oriented and am proficient in Word, Power Point, Excel, and SmartBoard. I am currently certified to teach general and special education, grades 1-6.

My name is Zhu and people call me Defendi. I am so glad to be here. This is a wonderful time in my life. Teaching people is one of my favorite things to do. I am kind and patient. I will always try my best to make things easier and more interesting during my tutoring sessions. I am here to teach math, language, and others.

It has always been my desire to work with youth to help them develop the skills necessary to function and thrive in our society. While I was always a strong academic performer, I lacked the guidance, support, and mentoring that my classmates enjoyed at home. My goal as a tutor is to provide those needs that can sometimes be lacking in a school setting.I enjoyed a successful post-high school career in the Construction Management and Architecture fields. Like so many others I found myself laid-off Following the 2008 economic collapse. By 2011 I had enrolled in college in pursuit of a B.A. in History and a B.A. in Secondary Education complemented by minors in Art History and Communication. I graduated cum laude in 2014, demonstrating that it is never too late to fulfill one's goals or dreams. Additionally, I was inducted into The National Education Honor Society, The National History Honor Society, and Gold Key International Honor Society (for the top 15 percentile of my class).I value education and I love history. History itself is a reading and writing intensive subject and, therefore, the subject through which middle- and high-school students learned critical reading and writing skills. As I stress to me students, it is also the subject that encourages student to develop their own opinions. I want to help youth to learn and utilize the skills of evidence-based academic argument and critical thinking. My goal is to develop the student skill set and, by extension, the student confidence to meet the requirements in this area. By working closely together, I believe the student can exceed expectations and apply what we learn to all facets of education.

I'm an experienced tutor available for math, physics and general science at all levels (grammar school to college). I have a BS in Physics from Brooklyn College where I minored in mathematics and received a 3.6 GPA. I first worked as a tutor there for other undergrads in physics and calculus at the behest of the physics department. I quickly came to realize I found tutoring very rewarding and continued to tutor after graduation at the Harlem Children's Zone. There I worked on SAT prep for high school students preparing to apply to colleges. I've also been tutoring math to a grammar school student on an ongoing basis (2 years).I try to listen carefully to a student to determine what gives them difficulty or anxiety. I find it most important to instill confidence in the student through methodical study of the subject matter and verbal encouragement. A lack of confidence at test time can be devastating. I watch a student solve problems and take note of how they deal with being stuck. This is crucial in physics and math because at some point everyone "hits a wall" so to speak. I find the solution to this is having the student work through lots of problems with careful prompting to get them used to thinking on their feet.I'm also a musician who enjoys hiking, camping and spending time with my wife and daughters. While physics is my favorite topic, I really enjoy tutoring in math as well. My subjects include (but are not limited to): algebra, trigonometry, geometry, pre-calculus, calculus, vector calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, general physics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, thermodynamics, chemistry, SAT, etc. Willing to travel in NYC area by subway.

I am a student working towards completing a double major in biology and psychology from Brooklyn College in hopes to pursue a career in Medicine! I am very interested in working with others to help them reach their educational goals and help others realize their potential. My goal is to not only teach, but also mentor others emotionally to bring out their best selves!

I gained a passion for teaching over twenty five years ago; a passion I've not lost after many years. I get immense pleasure when the student(s) grasp a concept, solve a problem, or make any accomplishment whether great or small. My journey as a teacher started as a teacher's aide which inspired me to become a teacher. I was trained in Jamaica and later completed a BA at Brooklyn College NY with my major in Elementary Education. Over the years I have taught in public, and private schools. I have used whole group, small groups, and individual methods. A focal responsibility was to implement grade level appropriate classroom instruction in all basic subject areas. Mathematics and Reading are the subjects I tutor most as that is where there seem to be the greatest need. It's rewarding to me to see the expressions on faces of early learners as they start reading, or a 4th grader being able to solve a Math problem independently. Tutoring empower students to reach a higher potential, and build a greater self worth. As a Tutor I spend much time reading as well.

I am a native Spanish speaker and began learning English as a second language after graduating from college in Mexico City. I completed a full English course from Basic through TOEFL exam training. Then, I started an intensive course of Italian at Mexico Citys Istituto Italiano di Cultura, where I was a scholarship recipient. Gaining fluency in these two languages as an adult helped me to learn highly efficient language training methods that I have used in turn with private students in English, Spanish, and translation work. In New York, I also began studying French and German, including courses at the Alliance Franaise and the Deutsches Haus, at New York University. In 2008, I earned a Master's Degree in Music from Brooklyn College, City University of New York.As a Music major, I find the music learning process extremely useful for languages and I would apply many of the methods musicians use into the improvement and refinement of languages when tutoring.

I love teaching! I am extremely excited to meet new students and share my knowledge to make them succeed better academically!

I am a high school math teacher in a private school in Brooklyn, NY. I have a true passion for math and genuinely enjoy helping students. I have been tutoring for two years on a part time basis.I have a flexible schedule and want to see my students reach their academic goals.

I love to tutor students because I like to see the joy on their faces when they succeed in the classes they are taking. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Chemistry from CUNY Brooklyn College and a Masters degree in Public Health from Nova Southeastern University in Florida. My specialty areas include science from elementary school to undergraduate school. I can teach all levels of chemistry courses, whether its high school or college level, I am your gal. I am also very proficient in teaching math courses from Algebra 1 to Calculus 1. Since I have an MPH degree I am very good at editing papers, MLA formats, thesis statements, even helping students finish paper from start to finish.My teaching method is catered to every students strength and weaknesses. I help the student understand the problem they are struggling with, show them what tools or concepts they need to know to solve the problem, and work with them to solve some problems so they are confident in their abilities. I also do mock test reviews where we (the student and I) think of what questions a teacher may ask and then we practice those problems, this helps the student settle their nerves.Aside from studies I love to do outdoor activities such as hiking trails, playing tennis, and mini golf just to name a few.

I have a background both in the business world, where I founded and operated my own retail businesses for many years, and the educational world, where I teach History and Civics. I also have a background in theater, where I continue to work as an actor and director.I love history. To me, history is far more than a random collection of names and dates, but rather a study of human ideas and achievements. Math teaches you to think logically, science to think analytically, language arts to expand your thinking beyond our own time and space, but history teaches you to think for yourself. Today, too many people get their information from internet headlines, or talking heads on television, or from their families or friends, and rarely take the time to really understand the world. With such an information overload, who are we to believe? The only way is to develop a full background, with multiple viewpoints, and then to develop one's own opinions. My approach is to study history from a conceptual framework, rather than chronological, to fully understand how the ideas of other times laid the foundations for our ongoing society today.

I am currently in Graduate School completing a dual degree MD/PhD program in Neuroscience at SUNY Downstate Medical Center. I am a graduate of the Brooklyn College BA-MD program, a program that guides students directly into medical school at SUNY Downstate. I have taught Biology, Chemistry, and Physics at various levels ranging from high school to college and graduate levels, and currently teach numerous classes in my medical school. I have succeeded academically due to my personal philosophy on education: I value complete understanding of material above all else. I am a continuous learner and I strive to teach that to my students. Once a subject is truly understood, tests will be easy, and great grades will follow. With this mindset, I have become talented at understanding where a student's problems with subject matter lie, mainly because I have probably experienced the same issues when I started learning these subjects. Now, I feel confident in passing on my knowledge to other people, and I feel that my last seven years of teaching demonstrate my ability to do so.

I am a graduate of Hampton University and Brooklyn College, the City University of New York. My Bachelor's degree is in Broadcast Journalism and my Master's degree is in Education. For the past 8 years, I have worked as a Special Education Teacher for students in grades K-6. I am passionate about education because I believe that education is the passport to the future, but the future will belong to those who prepare for it today. I believe that by helping students develop their Reading, Writing, and Math skills, I am equipping them today with the tools they'll need to be successful in the future. I know that everyday, I have the privilege and responsibility of developing the minds of the future leaders, and problem solvers of the world. I tutor students in Phonics, Reading Comprehension, Writing and Math. My teaching style is fun, yet firm. I am personable, but professional. I love watching my students' confidence grow as they reach their goals. When I'm not working with students I love eating at local restaurants, listening/singing music, and binging on Netflix movies.

Breaking your language barriers and improve your performance. To do all of the above it is crucial to learn from a highly qualified skillful language tutor with many years of teaching experience. While tutoring, I will use practical examples with meaning full explanation, which will make learning a foreign language easy and fun.

I am a graduate of both Brooklyn College, CUNY for my Bachelors in Geology and Queens College, CUNY for my Masters in Education. Aside from my more than 30 years of teaching and tutoring experience, I am well-traveled (parts of Asia, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean) and multi-lingual. I am passionate about my profession, ever searching for the best ways to help my students learn. I tutor a broad range of subjects, mostly in the areas of mathematics and the sciences. I am most passionate about Earth Sciences and Astronomy, Chemistry and test preparation for the SAT and ACT in Mathematics. In my experience helping struggling students prepare for Standardized Tests, I always am engaging my students in the problem-solving aspects of these examinations, ever honing their strategies to be successful. As a tutor, I firmly believe in engaging with and learning about how my students think and learn so that I can adapt my strategies for maximum success. 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 reading which enriches my life, enjoying time with my family, relaxing on a beach, and learning. I am a life-long learner, and I always encourage my students to learn from their own life experiences.

I grew up in Hawaii but left the beaches to attend Boston College. In 2004 I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Marketing with a Mathematics minor, and moved to New York City to work as a high school math teacher.While teaching math full time in the subjects of Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and SAT Prep, I also attended graduate school at night at Brooklyn College and earned my Master's degree in 2007 with a focus on Math Education.I took a break from teaching to join Youth With A Mission (YWAM), a Christian missions organization, and traveled to Rwanda on a mission trip before returning to the east coast to work as a tutor. I served as the main math tutor at an education center in New Jersey for two years, helping students with their school work and aiding them in preparation for the SAT and other standardized tests including the ACT, SAT II, ISEE and SSAT.While working as a tutor I also authored a memoir based upon my time in Rwanda and in 2011 self-published a book entitled, "A Remnant in Rwanda."I love working with youth and teaching them the value of education, critical thinking, and living life for a great purpose. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, movies, everything Apple, and working out.

As a child I developed a love for reading that has lasted throughout my adult life. I enjoy helping students acquire strong literacy skills and instilling in them a similar love of reading. I received my Bachelor's degree from Brooklyn College with a major in Television Production and a minor in English. It was my study in English literature that eventually led me into teaching. I have taught in both preschool and public school. As a teacher it was my responsibility to help students learn and expand their literacy skills such as; letter recognition, phonics, grammar and vocabulary. Since reading and writing are so closely connected I also enjoy helping students to express their ideas and opinions on paper. I have taught both general and special education students; so I am familiar with writing and maintaining IEP goals. I think learning should be interactive and interesting, therefore I try to use music and games whenever appropriate. When I begin working with a student; I assess their current skills so that I can build on what they already know and help them to achieve their academic goals.I believe that all children can learn given the right tools and support.

I am currently a senior at CUNY Brooklyn College working towards a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Children and Youth Studies. I work in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis with children who have an Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience tutoring students in elementary and middle school in a variety of subjects, but the subjects I have worked with most are English, Writing, and Math. I have worked as an after school counselor where a portion of each day was dedicated to assisting students with homework and often leading the class in completing assignments and problems that presented challenges. My favorite subject to tutor is Math because I struggled with Math from elementary school through High School. If it were not for tutoring, I would not have been able to grasp certain concepts on my own; a part of my philosophy in tutoring and in life is to use my experiences with challenges and learning to help other people reach a goal; for instance, using techniques I learned receiving math tutoring to help a student struggling in the same area. I believe it is important for students to understand their capability to solve a problem – my tutoring style involves an interactive approach in which I work from the bottom up with students, allowing them to express what they do understand first, before tackling that which might be confusing; I believe the confidence in knowing what you can do is important when learning to accomplish what you think you can’t do. A few of my interests outside of tutoring and working with children are playing my bass guitar, dancing, stepping, and playing with my dog! I am a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. and also enjoy putting on programs and participating in community service with my chapter.

I adapt my teaching style to the student's needs. I am a very patient and empathetic person and work well with students of all ages and backgrounds. My educational background includes a Ph.D. in applied research and evaluation in psychology and I have applied this knowledge to tutor underserved students in a college tutoring center.

Each pinnacle in my life has offered a new perspective, and inspiration to seek higher ground. My journey through the arts, education, and health advocacy has given me a unique skill set that continues to evolve, and has illumined my life's mission- To discover and share insights that are creative, well-rounded, and sustainable, for the greater good of my immediate and world community.

I'm currently a senior finishing a B.S. in Biology at Brooklyn College. During my time as an undergraduate I've shadowed an array of physicians specializing in various medical fields. During this time I was also fortunate enough to conduct research in a SUNY Downstate neuropathology lab. Along with my passion in the sciences, these experiences allowed me to fortify my pursuit in becoming an MD.During the summer of 2015 I sat for my MCAT examination - an entirely new beast. This was truly a life changing experience, and would certainly recommend several tactics I personally employed in fully grasping the content and critical reasoning required for this exam. In the past one could survive on raw memorization and recall power for an above-par score, but this newly structured exam requires a different approach - a more cohesive and integrated one. I'm also in a binding medical program which allows only one chance to take the MCAT and meet the required benchmark, so this was truly a one-time opportunity, a mentality I would recommend for everyone sitting for this exam.During my time as an undergraduate I taught in the Peer Health Exchange program - a program in which I traveled to various under-privileged high schools in Brooklyn and taught classes about a selected health topic. I also have experience tutoring one-on-one with students, something I personally find extremely gratifying; motivation and drive are major components of a healthy mind to absorb and retain information, and I strive to balance these with the complexity of the material at hand. Anyone can do anything, but sometimes we all need some help in getting there - I hope to help in any way possible.

I am currently enrolled in Brooklyn College's Coordinated BA/MD program with the SUNY Downstate School of Medicine considering a double major in Chemistry and Psychology and double minors in Biochemistry and History.I have been tutoring for approximately 3 years now and truly enjoy it. I have past experiences tutoring students in levels of math up to college calculus (including preparation for advanced placement and regents examinations). Additionally, I have tutored World and United States History (including preparation for advanced placement and regents examinations) as well as preparation for the SAT and ACT.I find tutoring to be a very rewarding experience not just for myself but for my students- especially when I see the "light bulb" go off in someone's head and a concept that has been giving difficulties is finally understood! My teaching approach is very flexible and catered to the individual that I am working with because I believe that everyone has their own preferences and different learning styles. I try to present information in an engaging and simple way and often in more than one way for a better understanding.

I am a 20 year old who enjoys critical thinking and analyzing situations. That being said, I enjoy chess and mathematics for the simple reason that I can apply the practices I learned in both of those in real life. Currently, I am a college student at Brooklyn College majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Music Technology. As a Computer Science major, I've come to appreciate languages like XHTML, CSS, Java and Processing and while I know how to code in C++, I tend to stay away from it because Java has spoiled me with the lack of pointers and no need to deleting allocated memory. As for the music technology aspect of myself, I just enjoy producing beats from game music already created.

Hello, My name is Brian Cross, and I have been a high school Social Studies teacher for past eight years.
