Greetings my fellow students, I am Mr. Mateo and I have worked with inner city elementary and middle school students professionally for 9 years and I graduated with my Masters of Science in Education from Lehman College and I have my Bachelors Degree in History From St. John's University. I have worked diligently with students and staff alike inside and outside of the school setting. For my skills, I can say that I am bilingual and fluent in both English and Spanish, build social and emotional learning among students of color and whom need emotional support. Thus, I have worked with students who were English Language Learners and of whom had disabilities, in which I had to modify and make accommodations to the curriculum to meet their learning, social, and emotional needs inside and outside of the classroom. Furthermore, these experiences, in essence, will allow me to differentiate instruction and to break down today's learning curriculum standards and content that will match their interests, learning, emotional, and social needs. In turn, I believe that these attributes can bring forth a connection and growth with the students that I wish to work, mentor, and teach here at Varsity Tutors!

I was born and raised in Nigeria. I moved to the United States in 2003. I have BS degree in Biochemistry, that I received in 2002 while in Nigeria and a BA in Economics / Pre-Med from Lehman College. I graduated from Ross University School of Medicine in June 2014. I hope to be an Internist in future. I have tutored extensively for years and volunteered for various non-profit organizations.

I love teaching!

With a B.S. in Developmental Psychology and preschool education training from Cornell University and a M.Ed in International Education from Harvard University, I became an elementary school teacher at the United Nations International School in New York City. I loved teaching here because of the multicultural atmosphere. I loved interacting with international students and learning about different cultures.I presently tutor at the elementary school level and I especially love teaching math because it's like puzzles to figure out. I use many visual aids and really believe in breaking down everything to the basics and my motto is review, review and review. I believe it's important to go over things because we all forget and that's ok.

I am 24 years old, and I am a former 7th grade math teacher in the Bronx. I have a deep passion for math, and I was fortunate enough to be able to major in it in college. I love using math to solve problems in the real world, but more than this, I love teaching it. I get immense joy in helping students learn the basics of math and I find great stratification in watching students discover the amazing secrets that math holds.

I have been a highly skilled middle school science teacher for the past three years in New York City public schools. This experience enables much familiarity with the standards and curriculums that some students may need help with in all subject areas. After tutoring some students I realized that they performed better in numerous tasks since they gained confidence and skills from our sessions. I believe that working one-on-one could develop better understanding of a subject since the tutor and student will work to meet specific goals with strengths and weaknesses kept in mind.

I am extremely passionate about teaching, I find the position personally satisfying and beneficial to the students I work with. I am a great communicator and listener, and have the ability to understand a student's needs. I love interacting with the students. Education is a passion of mine and creating a safe, friendly and productive environment for my students to learn is a top priority. I've worked as a tutor for almost three years and i believe with my experience and set of skills I feel that I would make a great tutor for the students.

I have 3 years of teaching experience, I am a certified Special Education teacher in the City of New York. I have a bachelor of arts in History from the College of Mount Saint Vincent, and i also have a Master of Science in Special Education from Lehman College. My GPA average at Lehman was a 3.4 upon graduation. After graduating, I had also intended on going back to school for nursing, so I took a few prerequisite courses in order to qualify for the program. I completed Anatomy and Physiology I&II, Organic Chemistry, and Microbiology. My non-matriculate GPA is a 3.6. I have taught in the south Bronx, the north Bronx, and most recently in Yonkers Public Schools.Yonkers Public Schools has a program funded by the city that allows for in home tutoring to be made available to students who were either displaced from school for some reason or students who are new to the district. I was a tutor in this program for two years, and I had complete and utter success. I had one student that had a brain operation that was out of school for 3 months from April until the end of the year. We studied together 3 times a week for her Global History Regents Exam and she passed her exam with a 92 - highest in the district in ages.I take excessive pride in building relationships with my students and their families. It allows the teaching process to be that much easier when everyone in the room has a sense of accountability. I can bring a level of success to your students that will really speak for itself and further contribute to the success the company has already experienced.

I am a NYS certified teacher in NYC who is passionate about seeing students succeed! I recently graduated from Colgate University with degrees in Biology (with an emphasis in ecology, evolution and climate change studies) and Philosophy. During my time at Colgate I worked for 3 years in a research lab, where I did field research in Costa Rica, The Adirondack forests of upstate NY. I also did intensive lab research in Costa Rica and with Colgate's Biology department. I am certified by NYS to teach Science in grades 7-12, and am currently a public school teacher in the Bronx. I am passionate about teaching, education and social justice and I believe everyone has a right to an equitable and holistic education. I can't wait to work with you soon!

I'm a PA and NYC certified ELA teacher, TEFL certified global teacher, and AP English Literature certified teacher. I am also a writer and editor who has worked in a wide range of educational environments, a diverse set of students and a variety of needs. I've lived, worked and traveled to four continents, eight countries and countless cities, a wealth of experience that makes me versatile in how I share and shape ideas. I can't wait to shape ideas with you.

Education and teaching has been my passion from a young age. I would trade my recess times in elementary school to go into classrooms and just watch teachers and volunteer as a student helper. I have enjoyed working in many positions in education, such as a teacher, educational director, mentor, and program evaluator to name a few. While each position was different, they were all about making sure that learning was fun and engaging for every single student. My favorite position was helping teachers teach and providing support in making the learning environment come alive. . Being able to go into the classrooms and share fun strategies with teachers such as lesson activities, making up learning songs, and connecting learning to real world experiences, was and is truly rewarding. Being an educator for both students and teachers is an amazing position to hold. However, the greatest treasure that I have found is the learning and growth that I receive from each student and teacher that I am able to work with.

I'm passionate about helping students reach their full potential. I am ready to embark on a learning adventure with my students! My approach to tutoring is personalized and student-centered, tailoring each session to meet the unique learning style and goals of every individual. Whether it's clarifying difficult concepts, building confidence, or preparing for exams, I'm dedicated to providing a supportive and engaging learning environment where students can thrive. My goal is to make learning fun, relatable, and tailored just for you. Whether we're tackling tough topics or polishing your skills, I am here to support you every step of the way. Let's dive into the world of knowledge together and unleash your full academic potential!
