My father's favorite teacher at Archbishop Molloy High School in New York City once said to him, "I don't teach a subject, I teach young people." My father told me that quote when I decided to become a teacher. I never truly understood its real meaning until I experienced it myself. Teaching is much more than force-feeding facts and figures to students; it is helping them grow and becoming the best person they can be. Education is one of the keys of success, and without it one's potential remains untapped.A career path in education did not interest me until midway through my college career. I stopped playing baseball and had begun coaching during my summer vacations. I knew I wanted to work with young people, but never envisioned being at the front of a or working in school administration. I reached out to my fifth grade teacher who supervised the local summer school program and inquired about an internship. He provided me with the opportunity to work as a teacher's assistant for five weeks in a middle school math classroom. The satisfaction that I felt when I helped a struggling student through simple arithmetic was something that I had never previously experienced; I craved more. It was at that moment I dedicated myself to pursuing a career in education. I took math and education classes at college, while working towards a degree in Psychology. I tutored at a local elementary school in Gettysburg, and continued to coach club baseball and work at my local summer school during summer vacations. I built a foundation for a career in education, the next step of which is to move out of the classroom and into an administrative role.During my career in education, I have experienced a wide variety of students and been immersed in a multitude of situations. I have worked in public and private schools, taught boarding and day students, international and domestic students, and middle school and high school students over the past 3 years. While in college, I served as a teachers' assistant in a public school summer classroom and during the school year served as a tutor for public school elementary students. I had never previously worked with younger students. I learned how to individualize my teaching to best benefit each student and that flexibility is one of the most important characteristics of an educator. After graduation I worked in residential life and as a teaching associate at Ross School; a private boarding school consisting of a large number of international students. I saw first-hand how culture plays a major part in learning and I had to change most of my examples and metaphors I typically used in class. Living with the students reminded me that students are not robots. They are attempting to figure out their lives one day at a time while learning a massive amount of important material -- a challenging task for anyone, especially for a teenager. Saint James School is my most recent home and has been an invaluable experience. I have been a lead teacher for two years in the math and science departments. This opportunity enabled me to develop my own teaching style, and instruct my students on life while covering Trigonometry and Newton's three laws. Despite being at Saint James for only two years, I have watched young men and women develop and mature, which has further encouraged me to pursue a career in education.Passion is the most essential characteristic of a successful educator. How are our students expected to be motivated and excited about material if we, the educators, do not feel and convey excitement? Outside of the classroom students need to continue to stay engaged and build positive relationships with their peers, while continuing to embody good morals and be productive members of society.I teach through experience. As a child, I learned best through action, not words. It is much more difficult to grasp abstract concepts merely though listening, as compared to developing an understanding through application. Once students understand that failing is a step in the learning process, they are more willing to move outside of their comfort zone and take a risk.

I graduated from Gettysburg College in 2013, earning a B.S. In Biology. My studies broadly covered the sciences and coursework included general chemistry, physics, organic chemistry, and cell biology. After graduating I moved to NYC to pursue a Master's in Nutrition from the Institute of Human Nutrition at Columbia University (Disclaimer: I still indulge in McDonalds). I am now working as a clinical research assistant and am studying the effect of a weight drug on the cardiovascular and metabolic factors. In my spare time I like to snowboard at Okemo Mountain in Vermont, seek out awesome Thai food in NYC, run on the Hudson River Park and travel. I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals and help you become a master of the sciences!

I am a graduate of Gettysburg College with a B.A. in English and Theatre, SUNY Stony Brook with a M.F.A. in Dramaturgy and Dowling College with a M.S. in Secondary English. I spend 11 years as Associate Artistic Director for a Long Island based theatre company as well as Adjunct Assistant Professor at Dowling College in the Theatre Department. I have a passion for English literature as well as its historical implications. As a creative professional in both theatrical endeavors and educational pursuits, I will be guided by my values and shall give it my interest, my enthusiasm, my passion, and most importantly, myself. In everything I do I will present materials in a clear, interesting and innovative way, ensuring each student individually to help them take center stage and achieve academic goals. In my free time I enjoy catching up with favorite television shows or films, bowling, as well as acting in or directing theatrical productions.

I love biology and really enjoy helping others understand how biology applies to them and not just in an academic setting. I understand what it can feel like to struggle to understand a topic and would love the opprotunity to help others like me to keep their passion for their studies and to increase their understanding.

I want to give young people the tools they need to build a brighter future. From an early age, teaching and mentoring have been passions of mine, and I was able to hone those skills while studying English and writing at Gettysburg College. During summers while attending college, I was a teacher's assistant at Suffield Academy's summer program. After receiving my BA, I worked in digital marketing as a lead writer and content creator, helping small businesses expand online. The pandemic realigned my priorities, however, and I switched careers to teaching. For the past year, I have been teaching English online as I work to receive my English Teacher Certification. My teaching philosophy involves an emphasis on critical thinking and helping students find connections in literature, and I love to use modern art and culture to show how old ideas and people have had profound influences on our own lives.

I graduated from Gettysburg College in 2012 with Bachelors Degrees in History and Political Science. In college, I frequently tutored my classmates, helping them to prepare for tests and presentations. I have worked extensively with children, accumulating five years of experience as a camp counselor in addition to several years as a swim instructor and coach to all ages. I was raised in an academic household, and although I struggled as a young student, I learned to embrace academic challenge and thrived as a student in high school and college, and I am now preparing to continue my education in graduate school. My experience taught me that all students, no matter their situation, have the potential to succeed academically, and I work hard to instill this belief in my pupils. Though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I have a special passion for the social sciences, particularly History, and I enjoy tutoring a variety of students, from those who do not fit the academic mold (especially ADD students) to those looking to boost their academic standing with a strong performance in advanced AP level courses. In my spare time I enjoy physical activities like long distance running, hiking, kayaking, and travel when I have the time.

I hold a B.A. from Gettysburg College in English, a M.A. in American Studies and Social Policy from Georgetown University, and a M.A. and Ph.D. in Political Science and International Relations from the University of Delaware. While earning my degrees, I have also worked in health policy for various non-profits and academic institutions for 15 years. In addition, I taught both full time and as an adjunct college professor for 7 years total. During my time as a professor, I worked one on one with many students to help them gain a better understanding of concepts covered in the courses and researching and writing papers. It is very important that students understand the subject material and can express their understanding through thoroughly researched, written, and edited papers. I believe that life is a series of courses in education; it does not stop when you leave school. To that end, I enjoy traveling around the world, having traveled to Europe, Asia, and the Caribbean for work and pleasure. Everywhere I go, I try to visit museums, historical sites, and common places the people enjoy in the region. In my spare time, I enjoy working out at the gym, pilates, reading, movies, and cultural and sporting events in the area.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in English and Secondary Education at Gettysburg College and am currently working towards my M.S.Ed in Reading/Writing/Literacy with Reading Specialist Certification at the University of Pennsylvania. I spent the past year working as a full-time high school English teacher in the Council Rock School District where I taught ninth grade English, Public Speaking, and Ancient Mythology. I have always wanted to be a teacher, and I have had numerous opportunities to work with students in various settings. While at Gettysburg, I was a tutor for several after school programs working with elementary to high school students. I studied abroad in England the fall of my junior year, and I worked as a student aide in a year six classroom in Lancaster, England. I also worked at Gettysburg College’s Admissions Office as a tour guide, which gave me the chance to work closely with admissions officers who gave me insight into the college application process and tips for writing a good college essay. I am able to help with any English subject as well as test prep for reading and writing. As a teacher, I am passionate about helping students achieve academic success, and I will bring that same passion and creativity to any tutoring opportunity. Every student is different, and each has his or her own academic needs. I strive to find the best -- and most enjoyable -- way to tutor each student to accommodate individual learning styles. Other than English and education, my biggest passions are music, theater, and sports. I love to sing and play the piano, I have been a participant and teaching artist at my local theater’s summer camp for over ten years, and I play softball, soccer, and field hockey.

I am graduate of Gettysburg College where I earned a degree in Health Sciences in 2013 while also playing football. I later went on to earn his Doctorate of Physical Therapy from Arcadia University in Pennsylvania where I graduated in 2020. I spent all of his time in the outpatient orthopedic setting during my clinical rotations. I plans to pursue a Orthopedic Clinical Specialty (OCS) as well as continuing education in Concussion Rehab, Sports Rehab, and certification in the McKenzie Method of Diagnosis and Treatment of the Spine. In my free time, I love to play guitar, cook, exercise, and watch all Philadelphia sports teams.I not only teach my students about their subjects, I also teach them HOW to study. We will work on good study habits and techniques that students will be able to use in all different subjects. And while we learn lets try to minimize stress and have some fun!

I am a veteran teacher with 24 years experience in the public schools. I am a graduate of Gettysburg College and Lehigh University. Over my career, I have taught diverse learners of varied academic abilities and backgrounds. My students have always met or exceeded their growth measures. I am excited to meet and work with you!!

Hi there! My name is Camila and I have been a lover all my life of teaching others and aiding those who feel confused or lost in a subject. I am most happy to be here as an online tutor to continue to teach and be taught by others.

I developed a passion for biology at Gettysburg College while researching cell cycle control and DNA damage repair pathways in the common bread mold Aspergillus nidulans. This experience led me to pursue a PhD in Biomedical Sciences at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. I decided to start tutoring because it is the perfect opportunity for me to share my passion for science and gain valuable teaching experience. The two things that make me a great tutor are my deep understanding of biology and my ability to communicate complex concepts in ways that are easy to understand. My passion for science and education also makes my tutoring sessions a lot of fun for my students.Outside of tutoring I love being active and outside. I am desperately trying to get better at tennis in the summer and racquetball in the winter. You can also see me riding my bike around the city all year round.

I first began teaching during graduate school, when I took on a small group of piano students in my parents' living room. Over the course of four-and-and-half years, my voice and piano studio grew from three to forty students as young as five and as old as seventy. I also had the opportunity to teach Literature and Drama at a private elementary/middle school for one year. While worthwhile and fun, my experience in the classroom helped me realize that I prefer working with students in a private lesson setting, as it allows me to understand their personalities and preferred learning methods. One-on-one, I am also able to get to know the students in such a way that they feel comfortable asking questions and being themselves throughout the learning process.My formal education and training are in music, specifically classical singing, and I hold a B.A. in Music from Gettysburg College, and an M.M. in Vocal Performance from University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at Gettysburg College, I acted as a tutor for Music Theory I and II students. I also took a number of literature and creative writing courses, along with seven semesters of German and a semester studying Music and German in Vienna, Austria. My love of reading, writing, and languages stays with me, and I still enjoy writing short stories and blogs, reading fictional novels, and brushing up on my German and French skills via Duolingo.While my career is mainly focused in music and private teaching, I have a strong background in administrative and publicity work. As an organization nerd, I revel in arranging paperwork, color-coding calendars, and creating spreadsheets. In my free time, I enjoy cooking healthy meals, baking not so healthy treats, and spending time with friends and family.

I am a certified teacher in Social Studies, ESL, and French with experience teaching in France, Spain, and the United States.

I am a rising Junior at Gettysburg College for Music and Computer Science. The subjects I tutor (Music, Comp Sci, Math) are not only subjects I know I'm capable in, but also subjects that I'm incredibly passionate about. I hope that through tutoring I get to spark passion in these subjects with others, while also being able to converse with people already passionate about them.

While attending Gettysburg College, I spent junior year attending the university in the beautiful Black Forest Region of Germany. I earned a BA in German with a minor in Education. I earned a teaching certificate for German in New Jersey. Since then, I have taught students of all ages, including twelve years in public schools teaching 6th-12th graders. I taught adults in a community course and ran a tutoring center at a community college. I have also volunteered presenting German instruction at preschools and elementary schools on special celebrations for my children's classes. I have used a variety of teaching techniques but I generally use lively, hands-on methods, and I feel that learning through stories and physical responses greatly improves success in communication. Beyond tutoring, my interests include hiking and nature, environmental issues, reading, word games, travel, and spending time with my family.

As a passionate musician and educator, I am deeply committed to enhancing the music theory education for aspiring musicians of all levels. With a blend of expertise, patience, and creativity, I strive to make the complex world of music theory accessible and enjoyable for my students. My journey with music began at a young age, and through years of performance I developed a profound enjoyment of music. However, it was not until I learned of the inner workings of what I heard or played that I truly fell in love with music. Now, as a tutor, I am eager to share my knowledge and insights with others embarking on this adventure. My approach to teaching music theory is tailored to the individual needs and learning styles of each student. Whether you're a beginner looking to grasp the fundamentals or an advanced musician seeking to delve deeper into harmonic analysis and composition, I am here to guide you every step of the way. Through interactive lessons, clear explanations, and hands-on exercises, I strive to simplify concepts and empower my students to become confident and proficient in their understanding of music theory. I believe that a solid foundation in music theory not only enhances performance skills but also fosters creativity and musical expression. Whether you're preparing for exams, composing your own music, or simply seeking to deepen your understanding of music theory, I am here to support you on your journey.
