I am passionate about helping students find what makes them feel successful, inside or outside of the classroom. I have experience in special education and law, have spent over a decade in the classroom, and love being able to share my experiences to help students build their own success toolkits for their future careers.

I like to think of tutoring sessions as learning learning. It's never too late to start good habits, and it's amazing how simple and rewarding it is to approach one's studies in the right way. For my part, I like to keep things light but productive; I find that students learn the best when they're having fun and when their studies highlight the aspects of the work that they're interested in. Myriad studies have correlated interest and academic performance, but just anecdotally it's important to approach school in a way that builds a foundation, whether that's for further schooling or elsewhere in life.

I'm a fourth-year medical student with a strong background in tutoring and a passion for helping students reach their full potential. Over the years, I've worked with learners of all ages, from elementary school students building foundational skills to high schoolers preparing for the SAT and ACT. I enjoy breaking down complex ideas into simple, understandable concepts and tailoring my approach to match each student's learning style.I received my undergraduate degree in Biology from Adelphi University, and I'm currently completing my medical degree. My academic journey has helped me develop a deep understanding of the sciences, as well as the dedication and time management skills needed to succeed, skills I love sharing with my students.While I tutor a wide range of subjects, I'm especially passionate about science and test prep. I find it incredibly rewarding to help students gain confidence in subjects they once found intimidating and to see their progress over time.My teaching philosophy is rooted in patience, encouragement, and active engagement. I strive to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and excited to learn. Outside of academics, I enjoy spending time at the gym, relaxing with family and friends, and exploring new recipes in the kitchen as I grow my love for cooking.

Since graduating with my PhD in Nuclear Physics from the University of California, Davis in 2009, I have spent 7 years as a community college physics professor. As a community college graduate myself, I understand the challenges facing students and I am a passionate teacher. I am currently taking a year in Cambridge to complete a Master's degree in the Harvard Graduate School of Education to further improve my skills. As a tutor, physics is my favorite topic, but I am also enthusiastic about math as well as GRE test prep. From my experience in the classroom, I have discovered that it's very important to tailor the learning experience to each student. Every student is different and will benefit from varied methods. In general it's important to minimize lecturing and to give a student the opportunity to try and succeed at problems with gentle guidance. Outside of teaching, my interests are diverse. I enjoy reading, movies, CrossFit, theater, and dancing, specifically Salsa and Swing.

I have a Bachelors in Psychology, and am working on a Masters. Additionally, I have years of experience in instructional settings, both in grade school presentations and in extracurricular activities.

I enjoy teaching math and science, and I have been an instructor at Cincinnati State College since 2010. Much of my educational background has been in Psychology and Statistics. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Ohio State, Masters degrees in Psychology from University of Dayton and Ball State University, and a PhD in Psychology from Walden University. Currently I work as a Marketing Analyst & Statistician. I believe in making learning fun and interesting, and showing how it can apply to real life. My students describe me as being very clear, patient, and willing to go the extra mile to help them learn. At home I have a wife, a 12-year old stepson, and a 1-year old baby girl. In my spare time I enjoy movies, music, motorcycles. Although I have been to a lot of colleges, my heart is still with Ohio State and the Dayton Flyers.

My passion for the Spanish language began about seven years ago when I was still in high school. It is something I wanted to pursue farther in my life and I have achieved that goal. I have a year experience tutoring university students and non traditional university students with beginning to intermediate/advanced Spanish. It is rewarding when students return to tell me that they did well on a quiz or exam. This was a paid position that I earned, and I had to be appointed and approved by several professors to get the job that I did. This means my grades in Spanish were exceptional. I would love to work with students of any age and would be willing to adapt to different learning styles.As far as other experience goes, I lived and studied in Salamanca, Spain for three months as well as lived and studied in Samara, Monteverde, and Buena Vista, Costa Rica for two weeks. I have also traveled to other Spanish speaking countries such as Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic. I have a strong passion for the language and everyday I strive to be better than I was yesterday. Living in these foreign countries helped me learn faster and even more than if I would have stayed in the States, because being forced to speak the language and make mistakes is all part of the learning process and if mistakes aren't made, neither is progress.What makes me an excellent tutor aside from my fluency in the language is my ability to be flexible. I don't have a certain "style" of tutoring, because that may not work for all students. Instead, I ask the students how they would like to best and then I adapt my teaching ways to what I believe they will benefit from the most.

Hey! My name is Jake, I just graduated from Lehigh University with a B.A. in Computer Science and a minor in Theatre. In the fall, I'll be attending law school at Columbia Law, and I hope to pursue cybersecurity law while I'm there. I have a ton of experience tutoring in many different areas, however my specific specialty areas are Computer Science, Math (up to Calculus 2), and test prep. I love theatre, music, and video games, and I love learning new stuff!

I'm a great tutor because I am warm, engaging, funny and I genuinely love to learn. I am good at breaking down larger concepts into more understandable narratives to impart to my students, and I am very astute when it comes to sensing what style of and approach to tutoring is most suited to the student I am working with. I come from a family of teachers and writers, and I love to help students who are struggling academically to re-discover the magic and beauty of learning. It's what makes life worth living!
