Hello All!My name is Marc Barreda and I am so excited to collaborate with you.My main approach through teaching is genuine connection. Through authentic relationship building, I am able to meet you half way and beyond to make sure your academic needs are being met.My journey to becoming a New York teacher/tutor was not linear and I have life experience to offer outside of the classroom that I would be more than willing to share.I understand the complex needs of students and aim to ensure that all of my students are provided with a rigorous and engaging tutor session.My specialties include grammar and syntax, reading comprehension, essay writing, short response questions, finding the main idea, breaking down texts, analysis of text, and any ELA or reading needs.I also teach elementary math (grades K-6), science, and psychology.Thank you for your time!

I am a graduate of St. John's University where I got my Bachelors in Economics and Masters in Risk Management and Risk Analytics. After that, I went ahead to start teaching and ended up graduating with another Masters in Education from Relay Graduate School of Education. I am now teaching 7th grade math. As a teacher, I have learned that instilling the zeal of learning in children is a difficult task, but a road that is worthwhile. Getting scholars to crush that academic goal they have set for themselves and seeing them work towards achieving it brings hope. While teaching, I am also tutoring 5th to 12th graders and helping in bringing their confidence level up. There is no dumb child, you just need patience and care to help the child see that they are capable of achieving greatness.
I'm Rob! I graduated from Duke University in 2016 with a double major in Electrical and Computer Engineering and Economics. I've been a math teacher in the DOE for the last 2 years and have a Master's of Arts in Teaching. I specialize in high school math and test prep for the ACT, SAT, and GRE.As a math teacher for the last 2 years, I've found that students often aren't given enough time in the classroom to fully grasp new concepts before moving on to new material. This often leads to "gaps" in their knowledge, which are hard to fill without providing them with 1-on-1 help. This is how I can benefit my students the most, by providing the the 1-on-1 attention they need. When I start with a new student, I first work to identify the gaps in their knowledge, and then methodically fill in those gaps to help them reach a stronger conceptual understanding.I want to help my students as much as possible. As part of my approach, I like to understand my students' long term academic or professional goals to make sure I'm working with them in a way that's most beneficial to those goals.I live in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. I'm can do remote sessions or in-person. Please contact me if you would like to set up a free 15 minute consultation!
