What I like most about tutoring is the opportunity to individualize the learning process for each student, as everyone learns differently. From 8th grade until my senior year I was homeschooled. I did not realize the advantage of my personalized curriculum until I went to college. Being homeschooled gave me the great gift of a genuine love of learning. I try to inspire this love in my students. I enjoy seeing people thrive and grow and understand that patience and positivity goes a long way. I look forward to helping you take your education to the next level.I have experience working and volunteering with pupils of all ages, ranging from 4 to 35. I have worked one-on-one and in small groups. My favorite moment in a session is when a student lights up after they finally understand the material. Students that require additional attention are especially excited when they are able to cross the bridge from unsure to sure and it is a really rewarding thing behold!

Are you looking for a tutor who can not only improve your child's grades but also improve their character and behavior? Then you're looking at the perfect tutor for your child.With over 6 years of experience, I have mastered the art of managing children: mixing in the perfect blend of being nice and caring, yet hard and strict when needed.The best part about tutoring is definitely seeing that you are making a difference in the students' lives: not only seeing them doing something that they were not able to do just 20 minutes ago, but also being a mentor and role model. Private tutoring is also rewarding because you get to analyze a student's personality and skill sets, in order to figure out a unique, personalized plan of action to get them advancing academically.I am able to dumb down math concepts to the most simple and basic terms, and turn it into the language of the student. I am good at providing examples and giving tricks and tips to understanding and solving the problem quicker and more efficiently. Simplicity & Efficiency are my 2 keys to success.English has always come naturally for me and was always my best subject. This is probably due to the fact that I used to read 20+ books a week growing up.English can be a difficult subject to teach, because it requires a more deep analysis of the student's capabilities and flaws, and is not as simple as seeing if the student can solve a problem. It requires the teacher/tutor to show the student how to THINK versus how to DO.Contact me if you want a friendly tutor who cares about your children, but at the same time knows how to lay down the law and get your children working hard.

3+ Years Tutoring

I have been a classroom teacher in public schools for the last 15 years, and I have a wealth of experience with learners in middle and high school. I am a graduate of DePauw University, with a BA in Spanish, and I obtained my Masters in Spanish/Latin American Literature from Hunter College. I love teaching Spanish language to all levels, and I also am passionate and well-versed in literary analysis and Latin American history and culture. My extensive experience with the education system in the US has given me insight into many of the skills required on our standardized tests and in our college essay writing. I believe that all students have an innate desire and ability to learn, and that a true teacher makes it their job to find out how to bridge the gap between a student and the subject material. My favorite moments during tutoring sessions are when students truly connect with the material and we can both learn something new.

When it comes to teaching, I do my best to ensure that the tutee understands the material. I am patient when it comes to teaching, as every student has their own pace of study, and will alter my methods in order to meet their pace. I would then create problems that would test their knowledge on the subject before moving onto the next. The success of my student is very important to me, and I will do my best to help them achieve their best.

I am an alumna of the City University of New York where I earned a BA in Environmental Earth Science from Hunter College and a PhD in Earth and Environmental Sciences from The Graduate Center. My undergraduate research focused on geochemistry, geology, and soil chemistry. The bulk of my PhD work was centered on a numerical model of geologic processes within ancient 4 billion year old asteroids using Fortran90 in conjunction with MATLAB. I have 2 years of experience mentoring and tutoring college juniors and seniors. I have also led tours of the American Museum of Natural History that covered topics like gems and minerals, the geology of Manhattan's skyscrapers, and the history of the Solar System. Given my background, I am most effective at tutoring college to graduate level environmental science, geology, and MATLAB programming. I believe that education should be accessible to all who seek it and I endeavor to nurture curiosity about the natural world.
