I tutor because there is so much to learn in the world, and learning should not be done alone. Education is the best way to open up the world for yourself, and it has to start somewhere - in school, a tutoring session, traveling, making mistakes, reading, and just experiencing life!

I am currently a freshman at New York University, pursuing an English major on the pre-med track. I graduated from Head-Royce School in Oakland, California, where I was president of the Achieve Academy tutoring program, working with K-6 students in English and math. I tutor a wide range of subjects, including K-12 English, math (pre-algebra to pre-calc), reading comprehension, writing, art, and test prep (ISEE, PSAT, SAT). My favorite subjects to tutor are writing and math. Writing has always been a passion of mine, and I love helping students build confidence in their writing skills by solidifying grammar and punctuation and developing a strong understanding of the basic essay structure. Math, too, is fun and rewarding for me and my students; I find that math requires individualized approaches. By getting to know my students' approaches to learning, I can help them understand concepts they previously struggled with. I believe that education is integral to finding joy in life, and I strongly champion making learning enjoyable and fostering a sense of curiosity in my students.

Hello! I'd like to be your tutor. My approach is grounded in a holistic method that sees writing as both a skill and a form of expression.

With teaching experience at North Carolina State University, I guide students through the writing process while tailoring sessions to their needs, background, and interests, helping them foster identity, confidence, & a strong, authentic voice.

I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Master of Science degree in Global Affairs with a focus on International Relations Future. During my academic years as well as after graduation, I have travelled extensively to different parts of the world as I believe that the best way to open up and become a better person is by experiencing the different cultures. I have always been passionate about learning different languages. Languages include history and culture so they always go along hand in hand. Languages have always been my passion and I discovered that passion at a very young age. I speak English, French, Spanish, Russian and Armenian fluently (as well as reading, writing and grammar) and I had already mastered all of them at the age of 15. However, I never stopped to put in additional work to strengthen my skills. I spent a semester abroad in Argentina where I mastered my language skills. Later on after graduating with my bachelor's degree I worked at the United Nations where all the languages were a strong skill to communicate with the offices across the globe. I believe that languages are one of the strongest skills that connect and bring people closer from different parts of the world, and it is never too late to learn a new language. Speaking of bringing people closer, my husband is French and and when we met he did not speak English and we were communicating only in French. We have lived quite some time in Lyon, France (highly recommend visiting) where I perfected my French even more. Having been a student of learning a language from scratch before, my approach of teaching a language is to be as clear and as simple as possible from the point of view of a new student and encouraging them to fully embrace the language along with its history and its culture as they are all interconnected. I have tutored previously my school classmates in different subject matters including languages. Additionally I have been teaching international/ballroom dancing to beginner groups, children and wedding couples. I got into languages because I was very curious about the beautiful songs that I would dance to but no necessarily know what they were talking about. I am very excited to teach and share my expertise and experiences with any of the subject matters that students might be interested in whether languages or dancing.

I do my best to devote my time to things I enjoy!I am a recent graduate of New York University's Tisch School of the Arts where I received my B.F.A. in Drama with a minor in Applied Theatre. During my time at NYU, I studied at the Atlantic Acting School and the Experimental Theatre Wing, sang in a choir called Drama Cantorum, and co-founded a nationally-ranked improv team called Captain Soldier. I also spent an unforgettable semester abroad at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, South Africa. Nowadays, I work with a theatre company called Grey Room NYC and a non-profit organization called Leave Out Violence. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is my favorite), and playing music (guitar & piano).I consider myself blessed to have a creative mind and spirit; I always endeavor to bring this creativity into anything I do. I am a big proponent of thinking outside the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in essence working with the student to develop a strategy that is personal to them, for any person will retain information most effectively when they are able to describe it in their own words.

It has been wonderful learning about how childhood development changes with each year. I look forward to being able to work one on one with more children so that they can develop a lifelong passion for learning!

I'm a graduate of New York University (NYU), where I earned a Bachelor's degree in Mathematics with a minor in Japanese. I graduated in 2021, and since then, I've gained valuable experience tutoring Mandarin Chinese, both on online platforms and in classroom settings. My experience spans working with students from elementary school students to adults. In addition to Mandarin, I also tutor elementary school math, leveraging my background in mathematics. Mandarin Chinese is my native language, and I enjoy teaching it as much as I do math. As a software engineer, I naturally apply a structured, logical approach to tutoring. I break subjects into smaller, manageable parts to help students connect the pieces and understand the bigger picture. My teaching style focuses on asking questions that encourage students to think independently, guiding them to reach answers logically and fostering a habit of self-reliance in learning. Outside of tutoring, I occasionally code and enjoy playing video games. These activities keep me engaged and help me stay connected to both creative and technical interests. I look forward to working with students and helping them achieve their learning goals!

I'm a writer and editor with a passion for learning that I love to share -- I've been told my tag line should be "let's find out!" I'm a native Austinite, but I lived in New York while I got my Bachelor's in Comparative Literature and minored in Linguistics. After I graduated I moved back home to Austin and got my Masters in Global Policy Studies at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at UT. Now I'm in Fort Worth, with an MBA I picked up along the way (also from UT Austin) -- apparently I can't stay out of school for long.As the oldest of three kids, I've been teaching informally for as long as I can remember. I've also volunteered with Austin Partners in Education, working with middle school kids on reading and writing. I love to explore the world with others and help those around me discover an enthusiasm for learning that can make life so rewarding. I look forward to working with you and seeing what we can find out!

I received my BS from NYU in General Business and my Masters in International Marketing from NYU Stern. I have taken additional graduate level accounting courses and successfully completed 5 courses towards my teaching certificate at Felician. I have tutored English for Literacy Volunteers, trained bookkeeper and salespeople on the job. I have done some substitute teaching and have taught public speaking and leadership to the Jaycees.Currently I am tutoring ESL, reading and accounting. My favorite of these subjects is English and then reading. I emphasize how one has to have the vocabulary and how to use it. When someone doesn't understand me it is usually because I have not explained myself or because I failed to observe that the other person didn't register my message.I'll be there for you. We'll work together according to your learning style. I want you to feel comfortable and enjoy our sessions. Most of all I want you to succeed in your studies and in life. By the way, I am not overly serious and like to create a relaxed but effective atmosphere. A few laughs are helpful.I've tutored and trained individuals from ten to fifty years of age, based on a broad philosophic focus. Knowledge is the key to financial success and personal achievement in life. I, as the educator, must relate the subject to the widest possible context, making the subject more meaningful and useful. I must be patient and supportive. I must encourage and inspire. I must turn ambivalence and tolerance for learning into appreciation. And where there is an absolute dislike for a subject I must strive for appreciation or at least tolerance for it.In short, I endeavor to do more than just tutor subject knowledge. My reward is always a great sense of satisfaction.
