I will be attending the University of Florida pursuing a degree in finance. I have been tutoring students for four years now. I have tutored 6-12th graders in subject in various math subjects, however, I am most passionate about statistics. I like to teach my students by encouraging my students to go above and beyond their work.

Teaching is my fourth career. I've learned my way through the first three by watching others and choosing how to adapt and apply their techniques to the specific purpose of my projects.In high school I was a STEM student before the term existed, but I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Vassar College with a major in Drama and a double minor in English and Art.Starting out on my career path in New York City, I took and taught theater crafts and began to develop prototype design skills while working in live theater, opera, dance, and television/video, and after contributing to Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and The Muppet Movie, relocated to London through the Jim Henson companies to work on feature films such as Dark Crystal, Dreamchild, Labyrinth, and Little Shop of Horrors.After a time, being at the intersection of a script and its visualization excited me the most and led me to emulate my colleagues who were into concept creation by beginning to research and write story treatments for Labyrinth.Returning to the States to raise a family, I applied what I'd learned about production to the corporate world. My experience and imagination yoked to a client's vision and purpose allowed me to take on a variety of roles: creative director, writer, producer, graphic designer, and occasional project management.As in the past, I often worked in the trenches, this time learning the software that supported and enhanced our efforts. But overall, my focus was to communicate, through language and visual representation, how a project could be realized. I knew that the plan might grow and change as it progressed, so had to be mindful that collaboration, communication, and flexibility were key to adapting to change as we moved toward the client's goal.Although I returned to college and earned a Master's in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing, my progress in the real world still relies on both words and pictures. The more we engage our senses, the deeper will be our ability to convey our intentions to those with whom we live, work, and play.Therefore, I wish to find out how you learn best so that together we may craft a plan for your progress, whatever your goal. Please share your expectations and concerns. Your goal may seem hazy at the start, but as learning is about observing, trying, and sometimes failing, your vision will come into focus. We can course correct as we move forward together to ensure a resolution, even if the destination changes somewhat. That's life, isn't it?

As a teacher, I have seen students first hand struggling to learn in a congested classroom setting. Even one in which there are a significantly reduced number of students in the room. This goes for both general education and special education students. I have also seen them flourish after being given extra one on one attention and time to learn concepts that he or she is struggling with. That is why I wanted to become a tutor in my spare time. I spend every day as an educator and not always able to give the extra attention to the students that require it the most. When tutoring, I am able to spend as much time as necessary on a concept, and use different methods to convey that concept to my students.

I am currently an upper elementary teacher through Teach For America, and I've passed all of my elementary certification exams, while working on finishing my teacher license this academic year from calumet college, St. Joseph. My undergraduate degree is in Economics from the University of Chicago, and I did a lot of statistics, too!I like having kids how to read, write, and do math. Because I loved doing those in school, and I'll be teaching that this up coming school year. To have a struggling reader all of a sudden love reading and attack hard words never before tried is the best feeling in the world.I believe education should be fun, loving, inviting, challenging, and organized.

Hello Prospective Students!I was very lucky as a kid because my parents never held me back and they always helped me exceed expectations in all subject matters. I understand the value of private tutoring because my parents provided me with tutors whenever I needed it.As a result, I did extremely well on My SHSAT and attended the Bronx H.S of Science. With the help of my parents and tutors I was able to do very well on my SAT's and gain acceptance to some of the toughest Undergraduate institutions NYC had to offer (NYU, Macaulay Honors College,etc).Most recently I graduated a top-ranked MBA program, and am ready to give back some of the knowledge I have gained throughout the years to those that need it.Currently I am an Adjunct at CUNY Queens College,teaching Mathematics to graduate and undergraduate students. I also tutor High School students (all Math Regents exams, and Math SAT) and Junior High School students for the SHSAT math section.My hobbies include basketball, soccer, and Judo. Throughout High School I was nationally ranked in the sport of Judo and was an Academic All-American.I have competed nationally and internationally for the United States and have placed at tournaments such as the Junior Pan American games.I know what it takes to be a champion both on and off the mat. I am confident that I can help your children exceed their goals in the field of mathematics!

I began my tutoring experience by working at a summer school as a teacher's assistant. It was a camp I attended as a child, and the reason I decided to work there was that one of my favorite teachers was teaching. I used the opportunity not just to teach, but to learn more under the wing of a great woman. After two summers, I went to college and volunteered for the Big Brothers Big Sisters program. There I was partnered with a fourth grader named Jashawn, we worked together on homework assignments and review, but I like to think he learned a little more than what was just prescribed in his curriculum. Finally, this previous year I have spent every Saturday working at the Saturday Academy, a program through our school's Upward Bound initiative. I tutor a group of students in AP Calculus, AP Chemistry, as well as college prep. I want to be able to teach you the information, not just walk you through problems. My approach may take longer, but I promise it is worth every second to truly understand a topic.My favorite subjects to tutor are Calculus and Algebra. I have been working with and using Calculus and Algebra for my entire academic career, as well as taking supplemental courses on both in my free time. The reason I want to tutor and love to tutor is because I come from a family of educators, and the most influential person in my life was a teacher. Teachers have always been people I love, respect and look up to, so tutoring is my way of hopefully inspiring people just as much if not more than I was.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students often struggle with the breadth of East Asian History, which spans multiple civilizations and centuries across China, Japan, Korea, Vietnam, and other regions. Many find it difficult to keep timeline sequences straight, especially when comparing simultaneous developments across different countries. Additionally, unfamiliar names, places, and cultural contexts can make the material feel disconnected from what they've learned in Western history courses. Personalized tutoring helps by breaking complex periods into digestible concepts, creating visual timelines, and connecting East Asian history to broader global patterns that make the material more memorable.
East Asian History appears in high school world history courses, often integrated into units on medieval, early modern, and modern global history. The AP World History exam includes significant East Asian content, particularly the Tang and Song dynasties, Japanese feudalism, the Ming dynasty, and 19th-20th century developments like the Meiji Restoration and the Chinese Revolution. Some schools also offer dedicated East Asian History electives. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors who understand curriculum standards and can help you master the specific content and analytical skills your course requires, whether you're working toward an exam or deepening your understanding of particular periods.
An excellent East Asian History tutor brings deep subject knowledge combined with the ability to make complex material accessible. They understand how to contextualize dynasties, political systems, and cultural movements so they connect logically rather than feeling like isolated facts to memorize. They're skilled at helping students analyze primary sources, compare different interpretations of historical events, and recognize patterns across regions and time periods. Great tutors also adapt their teaching to your learning style—whether you're a visual learner who benefits from maps and timelines, or someone who learns better through discussion and debate about historical causation.
Personalized 1-on-1 instruction allows tutors to identify exactly where your understanding breaks down—whether it's keeping dynasties organized, analyzing cause-and-effect in historical events, or constructing strong analytical essays. Rather than moving at a class pace, tutors can spend focused time on your weak areas while moving quickly through content you've mastered. This targeted approach helps you retain more material long-term through active recall and spaced repetition rather than cramming. For AP or standardized test preparation, tutors can teach you how to analyze documents strategically, avoid common historical misconceptions, and craft essays that demonstrate critical thinking—skills that directly boost test scores.
Many students notice meaningful improvement within 3-4 weeks of consistent tutoring, especially if they're struggling with specific time periods or concepts. You might see clearer organization of your notes, stronger essay arguments, or better retention of key events and connections. More substantial improvements—like moving from a C to a B, or mastering complex analytical skills for AP exams—typically develop over 2-3 months of regular sessions. The timeline depends on your starting point, how frequently you meet with your tutor, and how much you practice between sessions. Varsity Tutors can help you set realistic goals and track progress as you work toward them.
Memorizing that the Tang Dynasty lasted from 618-907 CE is useful, but understanding East Asian History means grasping why the Tang was transformative—how its political structure, cultural achievements, and trade networks shaped centuries of development across the region. True understanding involves analyzing cause-and-effect relationships, comparing how different societies responded to similar challenges, and recognizing how historical decisions echo forward. Personalized tutoring emphasizes this deeper comprehension by asking you to think critically, make connections across topics, and support claims with evidence—exactly what essays, debates, and standardized tests ask you to do. This approach not only improves your grades but also makes the subject genuinely interesting.
Yes. Varsity Tutors connects you with tutors experienced in AP World History and similar standardized exams that heavily feature East Asian topics. Tutors can help you master the specific content the exam emphasizes, develop efficient strategies for analyzing primary and secondary sources, and practice constructing the analytical essays that earn high scores. They'll also help you avoid common pitfalls—like confusing dynasties, misunderstanding periodization, or making unsupported historical claims. Focused test preparation typically combines content review with timed practice and personalized feedback on your essays and source analysis, which prepares you more effectively than studying alone or in a classroom.
