Award-Winning Tutors from CUNY Brooklyn College

"My philosophy of education is that all children are unique and must have a stimulating educational environment where they can grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. I believe all children can learn and be inspired to become lifelong learners. I will assist my students to express themselves and accept themselves for who they are, as well as embrace the differences of others. Every classroom has its unique community; my role as the teacher will be to assist each child in developing their potential and learning styles.

I am a graduate of the Chungbuk national University. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Korean Language and Literacy. I also graduated from Brooklyn college in NYC. I received master degree in Early Childhood Education and Students with Disabilities. I am a special education teacher in NYC. As my first language is Korean as well as I majored Korean language, I have been taught Korean at Korean language school over 10 years to non-Korean population. My experiences in teaching Korean language have been conducted from preschooler to adults. I believe my various experience in ages could be fitted any ages in any settings.

While we humans try to understand Nature, I believe, Math is the language we employ to efficiently decode the study (called science) of the wonders of Nature around us. I found this as the major magnet, to begin with, that attracted me to the subject of Mathematics. In addition, the joy of making our young ones understand the subject and positioning them to take advantage of future possibilities such knowledge offers is a priceless fulfillment for me. With these as my basic reasons for being an educator, it has always given me a tremendous satisfaction each time my explanation makes my students understand a math concept, the light lit up in their heads, and their eyes glow with that radiant confirmation of the knowledge they have newly acquired. I guess that is what all true educators live for judging from my experience within a couple of decades during which I have been involved in teaching mathematics.

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

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 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 am currently a graduate student at the CUNY Graduate Center - Brooklyn College where I am studying for my Masters in Business degree. I completed my undergraduate studies from Brooklyn College and received my Bachelor's in Business Administration while completing my premedical requisites. I plan to take the MCAT and apply for medical school soon. In the future, I hope to be a pediatrician because I want to be a doctor and I love working with children. I currently reside in Brooklyn. My family consists of my parents and two younger sisters. I came from Bangladesh to the United States when I was three and a half years old with my mother and sister. I grew up with strong educational values to always put my studies first. I hold fast to my values since the better educated you are, the more opportunities open up for you. My father started teaching me Algebra when I was in the fourth grade and since I was always good at it, math has been my favorite subject. From this experience I know that when math subjects are explained properly, it can be a simple concept that everyone can understand.

There's no limit to what you can learn! Why does math and science feel so complicated? - Since I started tutoring remotely in 2021, I have noticed from my students this is "the" question they want answered. Historically, mathematics evolved out of necessity. They were developed to simplify and to record essential financial and astronomical information. In my view, math still feels complicated today because the culture surrounding it is still evolving - despite unprecedented access to technology and educational content. One practical way to address this disengagement is to make math personal. For me, this means offering alternative interpretations, encouraging discussion, and treating math as a language to be understood. Then, the procedures you learn and memorize in class will make sense. My methods help answer "why do I need to know this"?

I am an international educator with over sixteen years of experience teaching and coaching in IB schools across the United States, the UAE, China, and Panama. I hold a Master's in Education, a Master's in Sociology, and certifications in General Education, Special Education, ESL, and the Science of Teaching Reading in New York and Texas. I am also trained and certified in the IB PYP and MYP and have served as an IB Coordinator and Instructional Coach supporting teachers, leaders, and students. I specialize in IB tutoring (PYP/MYP inquiry skills, assessments, literacy, and social sciences), academic coaching, organizational skills, reading and writing support, and preparation for NY and TX teacher certification exams. I also provide structured test-prep support with a focus on strategy, confidence building, and skill mastery. My teaching philosophy centers on clarity, structure, and individualized learning paths. I help students develop strong thinking routines, independence, and the academic habits that lead to long-term success. Whether supporting a struggling reader, guiding an IB student through complex concepts, or coaching an adult learner preparing for certification exams, I create high-quality, targeted sessions that are both supportive and results-driven. Outside of teaching, I enjoy writing, travel, and design of which expand my global perspective and enrich the learning experiences I create. My goal is always to help learners grow with confidence, curiosity, and purpose.

Having worked as a teacher for ten years in the New York City public school system, I have many years of specific training that will allow me to adapt to any learning need or style. I have three licenses in English Language Arts (K-12), Information Sciences (K-12), and Literacy (K-12). I have also been designated as the the official English Regents, Common Core, and SAT prep teacher at my high school. I have a warm and open style that makes learning not so painful!

I am an artist, mom, editorial professional, and tutor living in Brooklyn, NY.I graduated from Brooklyn College as a Magna Cum Laude with a double major in History and Political Science and a minor in Art (including Art History). I was passionate about the social sciences, seeking out additional coursework, as well as Comparative Literature and English courses. Later, I completed a pre-med curriculum (including Biology, Pre-Calculus, Physics, and two terms each of Introductory and Organic Chemistry). This led to one (unhappy) year at NYU Dental School.I have worked in publishing, as a proofreader, editorial assistant, production editor and computer graphic designer.Later, following time as a primary caregiver with my child, I became a per diem teacher. I developed an expertise and was sought out to help with my district's gifted program and filled in for maternity leaves with two 3rd grade classes. Helping students one-on-one was definitely my favorite part of teaching! I observed how, in the group environment of the classroom, a struggling student will float through the day. Given individual focus, he/she retained more material, creating important scaffolding in their efforts to catch up to current material.During this time, I also began to build my skills as an artist bolstered by select classes at several NYC-area art schools, and a scholarship/residency with the Manhattan Graphics Center. I’ve won competitions, participated in group shows, and created site-specific pieces in Brooklyn. Currently, I'm working with an online company painting detailed miniature pendants of beloved pets. I think about what I’ve gained from teaching and want to impart to others: the balance of developing confidence and seeking out challenges, building on the knowledge and experience in your "comfort zone."Currently, I’m working as a tutor and art teacher at an after school center in Brooklyn, for grades K-2. This is largely a "gifted’ group" and my work with them focuses on homework and enrichment, with some in-depth tutoring for students with specific issues. I’ve introduced the children to origami, and it’s been very exciting to aid and observe their development. We also create pop-up cutouts, paint and draw from observation, and build sculptural objects using clay and popsicle sticks.In addition to art, my interests include exercise, reading, and spending time with family and friends.

Learning is a life long process but we can better equip our students for their journey.I am a Certified NYC English Educator (gr.7-12). I graduated from Brooklyn College with a BA in English Education and Philosophy. I have been studying for standardized tests and SATs since 3rd grade.I have taught various grades ranging from 2nd grade to 12th grade in Math and English (Reading and Writing ). I have done private in-home tutoring for about 4-5 years and in a group setting for about 2 years.

I have a Master's Degree in International/ Intercultural Education which has led me to become an expert in conducting research and writing. I also have classroom experience which has been helpful in developing my presentation skills along with my ability to help English language learners. I was an English teacher in Haiti during the Summer of 2012 - one of the best experiences of my life. I have experience helping Middle School, High School and College students with comparative essays and with basic grammar. I love reading non-fiction and biographies; I'm a real fact finder aficionado.Aside from my writing abilities, I have vast experience working as a Spanish interpreter. I worked in a law firm for two years where I was the main source of communication between families, clients and court officials. I have helped many people with Spanish pronunciation and with preparing presentations in Spanish. As for hobbies and interests, I am a runner, a baseball enthusiast and have true passion for international affairs/ education issues and I enjoy live music and performing arts.

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 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!

If you are seeking a tutor who will embrace your creativity, personality, and learning strengths with humor, honesty, and warmth, I might be a great fit for you. Please let me know if you have any questions about my approach, and I hope to work with you very soon.Since 2002, I have worked as an educator in urban, multicultural, and clinical settings from Brooklyn, New York to Portland, Oregon. As an educator, I am driven to create and present useful content and engage learners of all ages. As a person invested in social justice, I am driven to provide excellent service and honor each individual. As such, I provide ample opportunities for success with all the learners I serve. I have consistently fostered higher than average growth and have garnered recognition by my supervisors with above average performance ratings.

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.

Formally I have a BS degree in Psychology, a second BS in Finance and I am completing final coursework for an MS in Economics. In Psychology I delved initially into neuropsychology and the senses, how we perceive and cognitive formation. That grew into studying neuroeconomics and ultimately pursuing a more business oriented framework for my second BS and Masters.My tutoring experience is both through my professional development in counseling my peers as well as working with all ages substitute teaching throughout Silicon Valley. Being a father of an honor student has also kept me on my toes to always explore learning through all levels possible.I enjoy and have worked in a vast array of subject matter since first and foremost I approach subjects as a body of knowledge and then divide up the material based on learning styles that work for absorbing it.Social studies, Psychology and Finance are some of my favorite subjects to tackle as well as basic organization and study skills development.

I am a graduate of Brooklyn Technical High School, a specialized high school focused on science, math, and engineering. I currently attend the Macaulay Honors College at the Brooklyn College Campus, where I am taking a pre-med route, and obtaining my Bachelor of Science in Biology and my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics. I have vast tutoring experience stemming from my dedication to a variety of tutorials over the years, and have experience working with children of all age groups, and various subjects. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Science, Mathematics, and Writing Skills. I truly believe that each child has a different way of learning, and through experience, I have learned multiple methods to teach children and allow them to reach their best potential. Education is a vital role in life, and I believe that allowing children to get an ease in topics they have difficulty with, will allow them to love the subject and learning just as much as I love teaching it!

I attended Brooklyn College for grad school, earning a Master's degree in English Literature. This followed my previous studies at Brunel University in London, which culminated in a Postgraduate Certificate in Contemporary Literature and Culture. I have a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of York in the U.K. and an International Baccalaureate diploma from the Munich International School.My international education in Germany, Britain, and the United States has prepared me for the exciting challenges and rewards of sharing my bilingual English/German expertise through teaching and tutoring.I spent two years teaching German in grades 1 5 at the Munich International School. I'm familiar with the philosophies and demands of the IB program, from the students' as well as the teachers' perspective. In addition, I've taught English as a Second Language at an academic summer camp for teenagers in Germany. Currently, I organize and lead a creative writing group for adults with my husband at our home in Brooklyn. Over the course of my professional and academic trajectory, tutoring has supplemented and enriched my experience.Whether helping a fourth grader with intermediate-level German homework or guiding a high school senior in writing an analytical essay on Flannery O'Connor's short stories, I relish the chance to delve into the given subject matter and inspire enthusiasm and success. My passion is rooted in though not exclusive to languages, literature, and writing. I tutor all levels of English and German, with a preference for literary and creative genres. One-on-one tutoring presents my ideal teaching scenario: it allows me to provide my undivided attention, to tailor my approach to the student's needs, and to become a supportive and compassionate mentor all around. I strive to engage my student through a dynamic and friendly approach, and to make learning effective and fun.Besides reading and writing, I love live music shows, movies, making photo projects, skiing, the ocean, the night, ice cream, dogs, good company, long conversations, and traveling.

My belief is that true learning happens when it is enjoyable. My mission as a prospective New York City teacher is to do my part in making sure the information my students receive is done so in a way that is manageable and fun. When my students show interest and progress in the content being taught, I will know I have done my job.

I am a graduate of Brooklyn College as well as the College of Staten Island. I have earned my Bachelor's of Arts in Psychology and my Masters in Early Childhood Education. I am currently working as a Pre-K teacher to students with exceptional needs. Although I enjoy tutoring all subjects, I am most passionate about Early Reading and Math. I am a firm believer in creating equal learning opportunities for all and providing support to those in need. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and relaxing.

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.

Tutoring has always been more than just helping students complete assignments or prepare for exams. To me, it is about creating a supportive environment where students feel encouraged, understood, and confident in their ability to learn. I enjoy working closely with students, helping them overcome challenges, strengthen their skills, and realize their potential both academically and personally.

I received my undergraduate degree in Elementary Education from Morgan State University, a Master's degree as a Reading Specialist from Brooklyn College, and a Master's in Education Administration from Grand Canyon University. I am a 30-year veteran elementary school educator. I have taught K-4th grades in large urban centers. In my roles as a classroom teacher, instructional coach, and assistant principal, I've worked mainly with underserved student bodies from Baltimore, MD, to Brooklyn, NY. As an elementary school teacher, I have taught all subjects, but I have a passion for teaching reading. Reading is the one skill that you have to know how to do in order to learn all the other content areas. Reading is not only necessary for learning. Reading is also something to be enjoyed. I want to share my love of reading with the students that I tutor.

I am a graduate of both Michigan State University and Brooklyn College. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Women's Studies with a focus on African History. I also have a Master of Science in Math Education. Before I went back to school to become a math teacher, I worked as a bookkeeper for a non-profit, an organizer for a national conference that connects media arts and education, and as an editor for a local newspaper in my hometown of Detroit, Michigan. I have been a classroom teacher for eight years, teaching mainly math (but also science, literacy, and journalism) at both a high school and middle school level. I love working one-on-one with students to help them understand they can do so much more than they think they can. While I tutor multiple subjects, I am most passionate about teaching math. My goal with my students is to guide them through their challenges, facilitating their understanding through questioning, practice, and discovery. I want them to not just understand what they are learning, but to truly own their knowledge and begin to appreciate and LOVE what they are doing. In my spare time, I love to read, swim, dance, sing, and practice yoga.

I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy and Integrative Neuroscience at Binghamton University. In the past year, I worked with underprivileged kids who needed help improving their literacy skills and understanding of math and science. I firmly believe in educational equity and love being able to assist students in furthering their knowledge of troubled subjects/areas. I have tutored in many subjects ranging from Calculus to Essay Editing to SHSAT prep, but my personal favorite is tutoring Chemistry. It is my favorite subject to learn, so helping others understand it allows me to solidify my own knowledge of it. My approach to tutoring anything, especially the harder subjects, is to always use relatable examples or metaphors to strike a connection in a student's mind. The more relatable a hard concept feels, the better it can be understood. Outside of tutoring, I love going on hikes, running, playing guitar, reading books, and painting.

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.

Now I freelance as a tutor, book editor, and musician; I love the increased opportunities to work with people individually! In addition to working as a classroom English teacher, I have worked with music students of all ages in classrooms, in ensembles, and individually. My favorite part about teaching and tutoring is helping students get excited about a new idea or creative process. In my tutoring sessions, I will focus on both big ideas (developing and structuring arguments, analyzing themes, building connections, etc.) and the nitty gritty details (conventions, grammar, sentence structure, style, voice, etc.) of reading and writing, whether it be for an essay prompt on an assigned novel or for SAT prep. By the end of a session, you'll be better equipped with skills that will help you not just with your current assignment but also with any reading or writing assignment in the future.In my spare time, when I'm not reading all the books I can get my hands on, I enjoy playing piano and singing.
