I am a graduate of Syracuse University and the City University of London, having studied English, Theatre/Drama, & Creative Writing for my Bachelors Degree, and Arts Management for my Masters Degree.Since graduation I have worked for various companies such as NBC Universal and Wolters Kluwer Health in Philadelphia, while pursuing a career as a freelance writer and actor. Upon my move to New York City six months ago, I have continued on my path of being a writer and have secured on-camera opportunities, which have led me to more opportunities as an on-camera host and interviewer, of which I would like to delve more into to help young teens and millenial adults.I have always believed that education is power. With an early love of reading and writing, I have witnessed the power that words can have on people, especially if used in a positive manner. I wish to use my skills and talents to help other kids gain great grades and confidence in themselves through reading and writing tutoring assistance. As a current freelance writer, having written for many websites and print publications, my knowledge of proper grammar is of the moment and my passion for a good book remains intact.

I am a graduate of Syracuse University's Newhouse School for Public Communications. I received my Bachelor of Science in Television, Radio, Film Production with a Minor in Spanish. Since graduation, I have worked in TV Representation Firms in Ratings Research, NYC DOE as an Administrative Assistant for a Community Education Council for District 1 in the Lower East Side, NYC Department of Homeless Services and NYC Department of Finance. I also tutored for both Champion Learning Center and Tutor Doctor for 3 years. I tutored grades K-12, with a focus on K-6. My favorite subjects to tutor are English Language Arts (ELA), Math and History because these were the subjects in which I was the strongest in school. Also, one of my hobbies is reading about History and current events. With Champion, I prepared students in the "No Child Left Behind" program for their Math and ELA state exams. With Tutor Doctor, in addition to helping grades K-6 with their homework (History as well), I also tutored adults looking to improve their English and learning the basics of Excel. I enjoy helping students both prepare for Standardized Tests and with their other schoolwork. I love to see their joy and sense of achievement when they learn and pass their exams. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for students to achieve their potential. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I enjoy TV, internet, reading, following current events, watching sports and playing with my dog.
Hello! I'm a patient, supportive K-8 tutor for reading, writing/grammar, and math. I also teach essay writing and reading comprehension for high-schoolers. I'm a new tutor on Varsity, but I've tutored for 5+ years at Central NY organizations and have worked as a summer teacher and after-school counselor. I'm certified in Early Childhood Education and Training Programs through the University at Albany's Professional Development Program. In our first session, I quickly identify what feels confusing, then we build a clear, step-by-step plan. I break skills into smaller parts, utilize examples, and practice together, always with positive, confidence-building feedback. Whether the student needs homework support, catching up on foundations, or extra challenge, I tailor sessions to their goals and learning style so progress feels doable. I'm looking forward to working with you!
I am Lindsay. I am an avid lover of language, literature, writing, learning, artistic endeavors, athleticism, nutrition, and enhancement of the mind through those pursuits. That being said, I’d like to share my passion and enthusiasm for learning with you.I have been a teacher for 6 years. My teaching experiences are as follows:- middle school children English in the United States as a classroom assistant- middle school children English in Mexico as a lead teacher- American and international university age students Spanish as a part time instructor- high school age students Spanish as a high school teacher- international adults English at a non-profit center in Syracuse, as a student-teacher- kids yoga classes as the lead teacher- adult hatha yoga classes, asana, pranayama, meditation as the lead teacher- high school girls volleyball,basketball and track coachMy idea when I am teaching is that I am a facilitator. That means that you know how to do everything, you just don’t know that you know. My job is to show you that you have everything you need to do it yourself. Therefore, I ask questions to guide you, and in time you will see that you do indeed possess the necessary mental forces to complete the tasks before you of your own accord!When dealing with language, I use the communicative language approach, and focus on instilling a student-centered learning environment. I both create and ask the student to take part in creating course materials and shaping course content to foster interest in both learning and participating in their personal learning progress. I attempt to create an environment where a student feels no fear to ask questions, and is able to verbalize and communicate, and also is able to travel outside the classroom and use what we’ve learned in authentic contexts. I closely monitor student progress, and also am more than open to emailing and meeting at the student’s convenience.As far as my personality goes, I am a very caring, silly, open-minded individual. I genuinely am concerned for the welfare of those around me, which is why I am a yoga instructor. I also love academic pursuits, which is why I hope to be a tutor for who ever needs assistance.
English doesn't have to feel overwhelming and essays don't have to feel intimidating. I tutor English with a focus on clear explanations, stronger writing skills, and real understanding.

Arch to become a professor in the field, and pursue a personal design career on the side. I have taught at Kumon Learning Center for almost 5 years and have plenty of experience tutoring students with SAT test preparation. In addition, I have taken over 10 years in fine arts training and am thrilled to offer to teach drawing in fine arts. Although I can teach a range of subjects, I am most excited about teaching all levels of mathematics, writing, SAT test prep, and fine arts; including drawing. I am also willing to provide additional course material and address questions/concerns.

I recently graduated from Columbia University where I excelled in the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Organic Chemistry. For over a year, I have tutored college and high school students in these subjects. I learned that every student learns differently, so I try to utilize creativity in my teaching approaches. My goal is to steer each student to that “ah-ha” moment so that they truly understand the material.I am currently in the process of applying to medical school, which I plan to start in August 2015. In addition, I like to bike, play the drums, ski, and watch football for fun.

I obtained my Master's of Science in Microelectronics Photonics from the University of Arkansas and my Bachelor's of Science in Chemical Engineering from Syracuse University. During my Master's studies, I worked as a chemistry teaching assistant and discovered my passion for STEM education. I continued to work with students after my teaching requirement ended by becoming a chemistry tutor and research mentor. I am currently pursuing my Doctorate in Materials Science and Engineering, where I balance my desire to modernize water treatment systems with my love of inspiring students to pursue careers in STEM. My tutoring style emphasizes the learning process as much as the technical content to form a foundation for lifelong learning and problem solving. Together, we will logically break down complex problems into smaller, more manageable pieces. I specialize in introductory university-level Chemistry and Math courses, including AP Chemistry and Calculus. When I'm not tutoring, you will find me cooking a new recipe, hiking in the Ozark Mountains, or cheering loudly for my favorite basketball teams.
The Montessori philosophy, "individual, freedom within limits," is the teaching style that I adopt. Especially when teaching world languages, it is very hard to frame all students in the same box since each student's learning style is different.Knowing and observing a student's strengths and personally designing the teaching method based on each student's or parent's expectation is my goal.
I've earned my M.Ed from The Ohio State University in English Education and earned a B.S. in journalism from Syracuse University. I've taught 7th and 8th grade English for the past two years at Noble Academy, a charter school in Columbus. All of my classes have demonstrated positive growth over the course of a year.I also run a college prep clinic for students from Somali backgrounds and have done so for the past four years.I started in education through Teach for America as a Spanish and remedial English teacher at a high school in Greenwood, MS. I tutor English, Writing, Math, Social Studies, and Spanish. I personally love to teach any writing component, because I enjoy the process of creating an essay which everyone can enjoy. I consider my tutoring style to mimic that of a coach; my goal is to push your student toward a higher end. I have an ability to build a quick rapport with students and have them understand the work necessary to succeed on their chosen path.In my spare time, I like to run, read, write, and watch sports.I'm looking forward to helping your student find personal success in their academic lives!

I teach because students afford me hope for the future of society. As an educator, I have taught and tutored in diverse environments for over three years. My teaching philosophy strives to help students accomplish their goals, but not just the immediate, easily quantifiable goals, like earning a certain grade on a paper. Rather, in accomplishing these immediate goals, I also aim to help students better themselves as people, to think about the world differently, so that, regardless of what they might face in their future, they will be in a position to succeed.At Syracuse University, I majored in philosophy and English and graduated summa cum laude. I was president of an organization that taught weekly spoken word poetry workshops, which improved students writing and public speaking abilities, and I also tutored ESL students at a high school. Pedagogically, I incorporate my experiences as a student into my teaching curriculum, ensuring my students know why they are doing a certain task rather than merely what they are doing.You are not only finding an experienced tutor who loves his work, but also one accomplished in his subjects. I am a fiction writer who has been published in national magazines. As a student, the dean of my college selected me to give the senior address at convocation. Moreover, I received a scholarship at Syracuse University awarded for my performance in the humanities. These achievements separate me from just any tutor you might find.

I have also earned my Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, and am currently working on my Agile Certified Practitioner certification.
I fully agree with the idea behind this quote: "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," and I live my life as a teacher accordingly-- knowing my main goal is to meet a student where they are, and to guide them in the best suited way for them.

I recently graduated with a 3.6 GPA from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, which is regarded as arguably the top communications program in the country. This comes after graduating from North Hunterdon High School with a 3.8 GPA and a 2140 composite SAT score. My best subject on the SAT was math, although I also scored highly on both the reading comprehension and writing sections. I also took the LSAT this year, scoring a 168 (96th percentile), which I actually found frustrating because it was lower than every single one of my practice tests (with my personal best being a 174). Because of this, I learned from my mistakes and am able to tutor both the subject matter of the LSAT as well as how to prepare for the test. I will be attending Vanderbilt Law School on a majority scholarship in the Fall. I have plenty of experience both in school and teaching friends and classmates material, as I tutored in college as well. I am a very friendly and outgoing person who likes to have fun, but also knows when to work and how to do so efficiently. I'm very excited aboutand grateful forthis opportunity to help others learn.

I enjoy teaching and am considered to have a caring approach; my tutoring style is very clear and as a foreign language learner myself, I understand better my students' difficulties and I care about my students' best interest.
