Award-Winning Tutors from CUNY Hunter College

I am excited to have a chance to assist my students to achieve success in their academics. There is no other feeling like working hard on something and finally accomplishing that goal. It is my pleasure to assist any student to achieve this kind of personal power!I have an general passion for learning new things that inspires my love of teaching. Also, I have taught in 8th grade, 9th grade, and 2nd grade classrooms, as well as provided support to students of varying ages and grade levels in other educational programs.Learning should be student-centered, meaning that everything that happens in a tutoring session should be tailored to the needs of the student.I have the experience, the drive, the passion, and the skills to help young scholars accomplish their goals. I am humbled by the opportunity to serve and look forward to meeting you and your scholar!

I am an educator and writer. I love to travel, play basketball, read poetry and cook.I believe in education not simply as a means to a good career, but as much more, as a way to enrich your life and grow in wisdom.In our society, it is necessary to have critical thinking skills, assiduous attention, and a strong will to succeed. These things are learned by experience, and a good tutor helps his pupils towards this end, being effective and diligent students.That is my pledge, to give my full attention, time and care to the tasks at hand and to enlighten and guide my students towards new discovery and deeper understanding in their studies.

My name is Farhana and I graduated from Hunter College with a major in Biochemistry in 2016.I have several years of tutoring experience, both private and in the classroom. I specialize in Elementary and Middle School tutoring for all subjects.My availability is limited for the weekends.

Hi, I'm Matthew, and I'm here to help you or your student appreciate and understand math or physics. I have plenty of tutoring experience, ranging from tutoring at the local library to working in a UNESCO-recognized organization to help students in foreign countries learn English. Whether you're looking to make HW a bit easier or you need more in-depth discussion of core topics, I'd love the opportunity to help you out!

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.

I am a Macaulay Honors Senior at Hunter College, where I am double majoring in Biochemistry and Studio Art.I have been tutoring students for over 7 years, and I have tutored kids from elementary school all the way up to the college level. I have always loved tutoring and helping students understand material the same way I do. I am a visual learner and can help students become one as well.I specialize in math and science classes, but I have taught every subject on the elementary and middle school level.Outside of school, I love being crafty. I taught myself how to sew, knit, and embroider. I also love to bake and draw.

With two Master's degrees in two very different fields of engineering and theatre, and with over 12 years of teaching and tutoring in various fields: ACT,SAT,Algebra, Calculus, Circuits, ESL,Spanish, Acting, Shadow puppetry and animation, I create fun lessons to ease and facilitate the learning process. I believe in the art of education and its power.

I speak Spanish fluently, and I am a native speaker. I am a licensed Spanish teacher by the state of North Carolina. I also teach ELA to middle school students. I teach ELL(English Language Learners) to high school students. I have dedicated my life to being the best individual and professional I can be. I have committed myself to being a model citizen. I have worked as a business owner providing jobs to others and contributed to driving the economy of Greensboro, North Carolina as an entrepreneur. I have also worked as an educator for over 14 years fostering positive relationships with students, parents, and administrators. More importantly, I have taken my professional career seriously and constantly sought challenging ways to grow as a person and in my line of work. I participated in continuing education along with reading an extensive number of books to master my craft. Understanding that growth comes from guidance of those who have done the work successfully. I have aligned myself with successful individuals who can mentor me and help me grow even more. I believe my journey has prepared me to be the quality Spanish tutor you need.

I am a passionate educator with over eight years of teaching and tutoring experience. I have worked with many different kinds of learners during my career as a public school teacher, and I understand that every student has their own unique way of growing and of mastering skills. I have experience teaching a wide variety of literature and non-fiction texts and am very familiar with the Common Core and its emphasis on research skills. I especially enjoy teaching writing; I myself love to write and I teach students a clear process for approaching challenging essay assignments. Above all, I believe that learning should be meaningful and enjoyable and that any academic task is part of a student's personal journey of discovery.My undergraduate education at Columbia University gave me a thorough understanding of British, American, Latino, and African-American literature. My Master of Arts program in Adolescent English Education at Hunter College has enhanced my knowledge of literature while also covering the teaching skills that allow me to help students to master difficult concepts.I am a confident teacher of test preparation skills. I provide reading and writing strategies that empower students to perform at a high level on selected-response, short response, and essay questions. I emphasize the importance of analyzing test questions and passages so that students have a clear "plan of attack" on test day.My personal interests include playing guitar, songwriting, Tai Chi, and meditation.

I am a former high school teacher and current PhD student. I have many years of experience tutoring middle school and five years of experience teaching a variety of high school subjects. I am passionate about education and hope to get to work with you!

Hello there! I'm Sheina, and I'm passionate about helping students thrive. I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science with a minor in Psychology from Hunter College CUNY; a Master of Arts in Biblical Studies from Alliance University (Magna Cum Laude); and a Doctor of Ministry in Theology from Liberty University (High Honors with Distinction). I've had the privilege of working with learners of all ages in English, History, and writing. I believe that each student has a unique voice and potential waiting to be uncovered. My approach to writing is centered on creativity and connection, using techniques such as "free writing" to help students express themselves confidently. I have extensive experience in guiding students through the complexities of crafting compelling essays, college entrance letters, and detailed dissertations. providing personalized feedback and guidance. My goal is to enhance your writing skills and boost academic success.

I am from Princeton, New Jersey, but have lived all over the country. I currently attend Hunter College and am pursuing a degree in Biology, and have a strong interest in medicine, mathematics, and physics.I tutor frequently in private sessions across the greater West Windsor/Princeton area, and was a avid tutor in high school helping high school and middle school students in SAT prep, math, physics, and various STEM classes.I have a plethora of AP and standardized testing experience from high school so I can ensure that my students receive the relevant knowledge they require. My teaching philosophy revolves around the age old method of socratic teaching: AKA I am not here to give you the answers, but rather here to guide you through the processes of taking in information effectively, so that you yourself can become an effective learner for the future beyond. A typical first time tutoring session would begin with me assessing where you are as a student in the topic at hand, asking you what you want out of our sessions (and me suiting your need to that desire as much as possible), and beginning a lesson plan.My SAT tutoring is split into 3 sections; the student takes home each part of a practice test and completes it, and once our session begins we review your answers and try to pinpoint where your weaknesses are, simultaneously developing strategies that you could employ in a real test taking environment. Math and physics tutoring revolves around the exact same principles, and depending on the where the student is in their learning I often speak to the student's guardian to personalize a learning plan that can best supplement their in school learning. I am happy to help in any situation, whether that be homework, schoolwork, or just self-enrichment. It does not matter your background, but the attitude you carry to our sessions.I strive to maintain positivity in my tutoring, and if the end goal of tutoring is to help the student it is necessary to not only invoke extrinsic motivation but also intrinsic.

I am an honors student attending Hunter College in New York City. My major is political science and minors are human rights and international relations. My passion for foreign policy has led me to travel to over 30 countries. My travels have only deepened my devotion to learning and knowledge sharing.I attended a rigorous college prep high school where only AP courses were offered; therefore, I have experience with college essay writing, studying for multiple AP tests, and general AP test structure. I am passionate about English, Literature, History, and Math.Outside of academics, I enjoy singing and composing music. Additionally, I am very active in my college's Model UN team and love debate.

I earned my BS in Business Administration with a concentration in Marketing from Towson University and both my MA in TESOL and my Advanced Certificate in Administration and Supervision from Hunter College. After graduating Towson, I wanted to find a job in business, but after living in Rome, Italy, and tutoring English I felt the call to become a teacher. Even now, I hold a NYS School Building Leader license but choose not to pursue a job as principal because I love teaching too much! The relationships I build with my students while I help them achieve their success are why I love going to work every day.My experience consists of teaching and tutoring for 9 years in two NYC high schools - one very competitive, and the other with a poor inner-city population. As a result, I'm very aware of how to vary instruction based on a student's needs, skill level, background knowledge, and individual goals. In addition, I have taught and tutored a variety of courses such as ESL (beginner, intermediate, advanced), ELA, Global Studies 9 and 10, U.S. History, U.S. History Regents Prep, and SAT Critical Reading Prep.I enjoy tutoring the content of U.S. History and Global Studies because as a former high school AP student the subjects always fascinated me, and I take pleasure in fostering my students' interest in the subject as well. However, I also enjoy teaching reading comprehension and writing skills because they are applicable to not only history and English, but other subjects, too.My philosophy on tutoring is that it is a partnership; I provide the content knowledge and strategies for delivering the content in comprehensible and fun manner while the student dedicates his/her time and effort. Finally, I take great pride in my students' success, and I am their cheerleader and tireless advocate!When I'm not teaching or tutoring, I enjoy going to the gym, studying Italian and Spanish, traveling, taking salsa and bachata classes, being outdoors, meeting new people, and using Groupon to try new things - including those out of my comfort zone.I look forward to working with you!

Elementary school educator and administrator for 15 exceptional years working in high performing college preparatory charter schools. I aim to provide quality academic support as well as outstanding educational choices to our families and students to equip students with the self-confidence, character and intellectual capacity to thrive and engage the world as informed responsible citizens.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that every student brings unique strengths, perspectives, and ways of learning into the classroom. As an educator, my role is to create an environment where students feel respected, motivated, and empowered to take ownership of their learning. I strive to build a classroom community where curiosity is valued, mistakes are treated as opportunities for growth, and diverse voices are not only heard but celebrated.

I've recently completed my Bachelor's degree in English literature at Hunter College. Through the course of my studies I've not only learned to appreciate literature from different times and places, but also to respect and understand the views and philosophies of critics and peers. This has effected my personal and professional relationships in a way that nothing else could have. I've learned to take other points of view into account, as well as constantly shift my own way of looking at the world and making changes for the better. I enjoy working as a tutor because it allows me to use some of my skills to help others. However, this has not been without received benefits. I continuously learn from and am inspired by my students. I believe strongly that every young child or adult has the potential to create positive changes for his or her community, and that it sometimes takes a positive experience with learning and education to inspire him or her. I'm willing to, and am eager to, work with students in various ways in order to suit their needs most appropriately. Most importantly, I'm always excited to inspire the quest for knowledge in any one I am fortunate to cross paths with.

I am a Hunter College CUNY honors graduate living in New York City, where I first started tutoring English and ESL skills at the Hunter College Reading/Writing Center.I also work for the DOE as a substitute teacher in New York City public, private, and charter schools, teaching all grades and subjects during the school year. In the Summer, I've taught classes in Summer Camps all over Brooklyn, so I've definitely run the spectrum of youth education in New York City!In my junior and senior years of college, I won English Department awards for playwriting and essaywriting, and my plays have been read and performed in theater spaces, including at the Thespis Theater Festival 2013. I also perform in Childrens' Musical Theater with the group FunikiJam! World Music (www.funikijam.com).I enjoy tutoring because I get to learn at the same time that I teach! Please contact me to setup an appointment.

I am 22 years young and a current student at Hunter College majoring in Economics. My experience in tutoring goes from volunteering in a tutorial center while I was a teen to then private tutoring. I love traveling, food, movies, music, hanging out, socializing and enjoying life.

I am a New York City Teacher. I am certified to teach both Special Education and General Education grades 1-6. I completed my education at Hunter College School of Education. I have spent the last 3 years teaching grades 1-5 in the NYC Public school system. I have taught all academic subjects, Reading, writing, Math, Science and Social Studies. I have been trained to become an effective Educator through the NYC Teaching Fellow Program. I feel all children are capable of learning and succeeding. It is my job to meet them where they are and help to pull them up. I hope that I will be awarded the opportunity to come into your home via online session or in person to help your child reach their full potential.

My name is Kadeem and I am a current student at Hunter College aspiring to become a pediatrician. Three words that best describe me are enthusiastic, determined and optimistic. I use all three personal attributes to complement my work ethic and ultimately bring out the best in each of my students. I enjoy helping students to overcome their academic fears and achieve academic success.

I am a graduate of Hunter College with a Masters of Science in Education, with a focus on Deaf and Hard of Hearing and Students with Disabilities. I am certified as a New York State teacher, working with the New York City Department of Education. My philosophy on teaching is quite simple: each student learns in their own way and it is the responsibility of a teacher/tutor to determine how a student learns, determine their needs and create lessons that the student will feel successful in completing while fostering their unique learning styles. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, taking my dog for long walks and curling up on the porch with a good book or the latest "it" book.

I am seeking my Bachelor's in Mathematics from Hunter College. I am a highly skilled and motivated individual who possesses a passion for teaching. I am extremely organized and provide everything necessary to ensure the success of my students. I have vast experience tutoring children and adults between the ages of 6-25 from basic Algebra to Calculus II. I provide a calendar with specific test dates to help students become more organized. I create tests based on questions which the students struggle answering. I create detailed study guides for every section that I teach so that students have access to easy to understand explanations of material at any time. I work with parents, as well, to better understand my students' learning styles and tailor and establish the perfect tutoring relationships. Every single one of my students has succeeded and thrived academically and this is of the utmost importance to me, as my students are a direct reflection of me. My interests and hobbies include basketball, hiking, swimming, and running.

My goal as a tutor is to ensure that every one of my students learns the proper methods and gains the understanding to tackle their academic problems. I will work with an individual for however long it takes them to master a subject. I value the importance of practice when it comes to academics. The grades students receive are based on the practice time put in by the student, so it is necessary to put in the practice time until a concept is mastered. No question in any subject should be seen as impossible to tackle - with the proper learning tools and tips/tricks that I provide to my students, I'm confident they can take on a problem of any difficulty level.

Dynamic educator and business professional with over six years of experience in effective motivational leadership and strategic people management. Proven ability to inspire, guide, and develop students through tailored and results-driven approaches, fostering high-performance and growth-focused environments.

I was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. I graduated from Johns Hopkins University with my bachelors in Psychology and Sociology and a maters in School Counseling. I thought I was going to go straight into counseling but I realized to be a better counselor I should have some experience in the classroom. This epiphany led me to New York City to be a teaching assistant with Blue Engine in Algebra and Geometry for two years. After my two years, I became a New York City Teaching Fellow. I taught Geometry and Algebra for two years. I am currently certified in School Counseling in Michigan and Special Education in New York.I believe that all students can learn and can achieve academically with the right support. Because of this belief, many of my supervisors and coworkers have stated that I have a calming effect on children while learning and show great patience and determination while teaching.Please choose me to be your tutor for Middle School Math, Pre-algebra, Algebra, or Geometry.

Common core-trained teacher with extensive experience working with students in Grades 1-12. I love reading and writing and can solve almost any problem thrown my way. I currently live in New York City where I am fortunate enough to mentor Middle and High schoolers in their day-to-day academic classes. I'm looking forward to meeting you and working together :)

I studied abroad in Germany the summer of my sophomore year. I was raised bilingual in Spanish and English. These days I've expanded my horizons to the French and German languages. In high school, I tutored students in Algebra at risk of failing the year. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Algebra, Critical Reading and Writing for Standardized Tests. I care about my students' success. I love learning and have a passion to help others become lifelong learners. In my spare time, I read and go for walks along the riverside.

I tutor a wide range of subjects, with a background in humanities, arts and math. I've been a language teacher for the past seven years, focusing on "twice exceptional" students, those who are highly gifted and have challenges like autism, executive functioning, and learning disabilities. With master's degrees in both Mathematical Physics and Special Education, I love teaching both advanced subject material and the fundamentals of literacy, organizing, and the whole human that go along with all learning. I often say I work best with folks who "love learning but hate school."I am very flexible with teaching, ethics and focus on student needs, styles and interests. In languages especially, I can bring students to great leaps in proficiency through low-stress, research-backed methods like immersion in "comprehensible input" and learning through stories and cultural material with lots of context.

I believe learning is similar to climbing a mountain. All the routes to the top of the mountain require some effort, but there exist routes that are relatively smooth and short. In terms of learning, I believe methods of learning play an important role in studying. I have always been interested in learning and teaching. I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences to students. Hopefully, the journey of learning will be more smooth and full of enjoyment.

If you're reading this, it is probably because you want to learn a little more about my personality and credentials. In short, I am an affable, non-judgmental teacher, and am broadly qualified to tutor everything from basic literacy, to specialized test-prep, to college-level composition. I have almost a decade's worth of experience teaching and tutoring for the verbal sections of the English Regents, SAT, ACT, AP Language, and AP Literature exams, and served as an undergraduate at the Georgetown University Writing Center. Additionally, I enjoy helping students with their college admissions essays, and have found that there is a way to make the writing process authentic, creative, and sometimes even enjoyable.So, whatever your dilemma, consider inviting me to help.

I am a NYSED certified English Teacher (Grades 7-12) and current English High School Teacher who enthusiastically tutors students in Reading, Writing and Grammar. I welcome any of your English needs- Homework Help, Reading, Writing in all genres, Regents Test Prep etc. My diverse experience with students of varying abilities in middle through college level settings can serve me in supporting students' academic progress. Furthermore, I have also served as an Adjunct English Professor at CUNY, which speaks to the depth of my expertise and adaptability as an educator.

I am a recent Hunter College undergrad (majored in Neuroscience) working as a Biology and Chemistry teacher at Lower Manhattan Art Academy (a Title 1 school) during the day and tutoring in the evening. I have been tutoring since high school in all subjects, and more recently, college students in Statistics and high school juniors in SAT prep. I also spent this last winter abroad in Ecuador teaching high school students the English language. I have an extra close connection with middle and high school students as I have two brothers in those grades and through my other previous/current experiences. I volunteer with the Red Cross where I am a part of the PillowCase seminars where I go into middle school classes and stress the importance of fire safety. I also volunteer with Peer Health Exchange, an organization that delivers 9th graders health seminars to those that may not receive health class in high school. Lastly, I volunteered at Rockefeller University Science OutReach Lab where I instruct middle/high school students basic science laboratory techniques and share some of my college experience. I look forward to sharing my knowledge in a variety of subjects and getting to know each student that is lucky enough to have me as a tutor. Best, Miles Dijan

Math is difficult. It can be scary. I am here to help.I got my BA in mathematics at Hunter College/CUNY. I studied economics in grad school at Oregon State.While in grad school I taught courses in economics and applied statistics. Since then I have tutored high school students in algebra, geometry and SAT math prep.I tutor all high school mathematics, economics and statistics. My favorite is SAT math because the questions require a detective-like approach and present an interesting challenge.I believe in strong grounding in mathematical definitions and methods tutored through example and backed up by repetition. I am always patient and encouraging.In my free time I like playing guitar and piano.

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!

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.

I have a BA from CUNY Hunter College where my major was English and minor was Psychology. My favorite subjects have always been reading and writing. After pursing a career in the children's publishing industry I decided I wanted a more hands on approach. Now I work at a special needs high school as a paraprofessional. This job has allowed me to interact with a range of students, including those with Autism, ADD, moderate OCD, as well as students who are physically challenged. In the near future I am looking to return to school to earn my MA in Elementary Education. In the past I have also been a literacy tutor for elementary school students. I loved seeing my students' progress and enthusiasm about reading. My love of language also extends to foreign language. I studied Spanish for four years and have a future goal of learning sign language too!

Biology been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. As soon as possible, I set myself on a track to have as much biology in my life as possible. In middle school I entered as many science fairs as I could. In high school I elected to enter into the IB program in order to take both IB Biology SL and IB biology HL (in addition to the standard high school biology class). While enrolled in IB Biology, I often formed study groups and peer tutored fellow classmates on a variety of concepts. After finishing up high school I entered into the B.S program for Biology at SUNY New Paltz. Here my studies focused on the cell/molecular side of cell biology (although I did take many electives in ecology and plant biology). During my undergraduate career I worked both as a tutor for general biology and genetics, and as a professional note taker. Both of these positions helped me hone my skills as a tutor, and realize the importance of having a solid foundation of organized note taking and study skills.Upon completion of my bachelors degree, I choose to enter into a biology masters program at Hunter College that concentrated on biotechnology. This program taught me to understand the various techniques used in biological research. I learned to identify which techniques are applicable for which situations, as well as how to apply the techniques. In addition to the biotechnology courses, my coursework also focused with genetics, cell biology, molecular biology and developmental biology.After graduation from my masters program, I had the choice to enter into research. While I enjoyed being a part of research throughout my college career, I realized that my true passion lays in teaching. I have started working as a professional tutor at one of the surrounding universities, tutoring students in general biology, genetics and cell/molecular biology. I joined Varsity Tutors as a means to help more students gain the love of biology that I do.

I graduated from Macaulay Honors College at Hunter College with a double-major in Biology and Psychology. Throughout college, I volunteered as a Biology tutor at my school's tutoring center, teaching assistant in General Chemistry, and Math tutor at the Special Needs Clinic at New York Presbyterian-Columbia University Medical Center. My motivation for volunteering was kindled by upperclassmen and teacher assistants that helped me when I was in introductory courses. I credit attending weekly tutoring hours throughout college as playing a pivotal role in my success in these courses and the MCAT exam. I enjoy sharing and explaining concepts I understand and helping others appreciate them. Ultimately, through these experiences, I discovered that I deeply enjoy aiding students and enriching their understanding of the subject to the point of witnessing an upward trajectory in their performance.

My name is Jas and I am currently pursing a masters in physiology. I have been tutoring for over 5 years and have tutored a wide variety of subjects. I have worked with a multitude of age ranges and have successfully implemented strategies that help students in their everyday academic lives.
