I am deeply passionate about tutoring students in Biology, leveraging my Master's degree in Nutrition Education from Columbia University and my experience teaching a wide range of subjects, including AP Biology, Cell Biology, and MCAT preparation. With over 2 years of classroom experience, I focus on creating a supportive and engaging learning environment where complex biological concepts become accessible and enjoyable. My teaching philosophy emphasizes fostering curiosity and critical thinking, which I believe are vital for academic success. I find immense joy in making biology relatable and interesting, and my dedication to helping each student reach their potential drives my approach. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy exploring the natural world, which continually enriches my enthusiasm for the subject.

I am an adjunct instructor/professor of business, marketing, and management with 27 years of college and university teaching experience. Furthermore, I have taught in other countries such as Russia, and I go back and forth to France, which is my origin. Subsequently, I hold four Masters degrees which include an MBA in Management from Long Island University, Masters of Liberal Studies with a concentration in History and Political Science from StonyBrook University, an EdM in Education Administration from Columbia University, and an MLS in Library Science from St John's University. I completed my PhD in Management at Walden University. For the past 16 years, I have been a private tutor in the following subject areas; English, Writing, French, Basic Italian, History, Psychology, Social sciences, and Bible Studies. Furthermore, I am ESL certified from the Language School in Montpellier, France, where I obtained a certification in TOEFL and TOESL. I am experienced in APA format scholarly writing and can assist in all levels of written expression. It is difficult to say what my favorite subject is because I love tutoring and teaching them all, as I truly enjoy helping and mentoring students. If I had to say what my favorite subjects are, I would say the business area because of my teaching experience, the languages, and the writing areas. However, I truly enjoy all the subjects especially ethics and social sciences and hard sciences. Teaching and Tutoring Philosophy In my 27 years of teaching experience on the college and university level, and 10 years of tutoring experience, I have developed my own teaching and tutoring philosophy. From these experiences, I have learned that people have diverse learning styles. For example, some of my students are visual learners, and others are auditory learners as well as kinesthetic learners. Therefore, I have taken on a similar philosophy to Howard Gardner who believed there are many different kinds of intelligences and students have different ways they learn best. Hence, I employ many different learning modalities in my teaching including lecture, presentation, question and answer, group work, brainstorming, visual aids, and role-playing simulations. For tutoring, I use visual and auditory, based on the materials that the student provides. I try to use diverse learning methods that are tailored to each student. My philosophy is that all people can learn given the proper supports and tools. Learning curves vary in length but everyone can achieve and succeed with the proper supports. In addition, I believe that critical thinking and high order cognitive learning is crucial to success in higher education and careers. It is important for students to learn how to compare, contrast, apply, analyze, synthesize, evaluate, and implement. Critical thinking is excellent training in executive decision making and judgment which is crucial for students entering the work place or advancing their careers. I have a strong passion for teaching and it gives me great satisfaction when I see students grow in their knowledge and critical thinking as a result of what I can impart upon them. My interests outside academia include going out with friends, dancing, karaoke, general and space science, sports (hockey, American football, basketball, etc), technology, statistics, music, traveling, French culture, experiencing multicultural diversity, and classic cars. In closing, I think it is important for a tutor to be a knowledgeable teacher, a role model, a mentor, as well as patient and open-minded to all cultures and learning abilities, and styles. My goal is to fulfill that role which is who i admire li Manning who is my role model.

My passion for teaching stems from a desire to help students build confidence and connect their studies to the real world, making learning both meaningful and enjoyable. I look forward to inspiring a love for knowledge in my students!

Hello! I'm a trained educator and bilingual English/French speaker who's passionate about learning and teaching foreign languages. I've lived and traveled around the world and taught students of all ages both privately and in the classroom. My teaching philosophy focuses on building confidence and real-world communication skills in a supportive environment, and I draw from my own background learning languages (eight so far!) to design lessons around my students' unique goals and learning styles. My aim is to create an engaging and enriching experience for students that opens doors to new people, cultures, and opportunities.

I'm passionate about helping students in various stages of their educational path, by collaborating to understand learning styles and developing study techniques that improve information retention. Sometimes the best approach to learning is figuring out the explanation of a concept that finally makes it click, which takes patience and flexibility. I look forward to working with students to clarify concepts and get them out of a rut when working through difficult subjects. Despite graduating from high school in 2018, I still remember how difficult it was to get through the AP classes, the AP exams, and the standardized testing. My journey in college was filled with pre-med classes and humanities major work, so I also understand the need to balance different disciplines and develop proficiency across a variety of subjects. I hope to help build confidence and skills in various subject areas from SAT/ACT testing to math, science, and English/writing.

Hello! I'm Kate and I am a rising senior at Columbia University earning my B.A. in English. Before studying English at Columbia, I earned my Bachelors of Music in cello performance while being a pre-med/aspiring engineering student. I am offering tutoring in group/individual reading comprehension, critical reading at all levels, individual essay support, group writing workshops, GRE verbal coaching, middle-school math, algebra, precalculus and calculus. *** As a math tutor: I love teaching math because I love elucidating math concepts and logic. In fact I really think math is more related to language/reasoning skills as opposed to what is commonly perceived as "STEM skills." (I don't believe STEM and humanities are as separated as people seem to think). One of my chemistry professors used to tell us that when you are capable of explaining the concepts to yourself (i.e. teach yourself), that's when you really understand something. This is the skill I aim to give my math students. I want to guide them to deeply understand math problems/concepts by being able to explain concepts to themselves. Establishing deep understanding is the only way to start building the confidence to tackle any problem at hand instead of arbitrarily applying formulas. *** As a literature/critical reading tutor: As a student of literature and a creative writer, I love nothing more than leading workshops and inspiring discussion about books. Some of my favorite books include Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights, Charlotte Bronte's Villette, Elena Ferrante's Neopolitan Quartets, and Tayeb Salih's Season of Migration to the North. I believe that books are a perfect medium to train students (and all human-beings) to sit with uncertainty and grapple with complexities, whether that is through understanding individual perspectives or contradictory tensions in novels. The critical creativity required in reading and writing both academically and creatively is the key skill I aim to provide as a tutor. In addition to helping students achieve excellent understanding for school assignments and exams, my ultimate goal is to inspire students to extend their appreciation for the power of words beyond the classroom: to use writing as a powerful tool for self-exploration and social involvement, and reading as a means to deepen our understanding both within ourselves and society as a collective. *** As a writing tutor: I am obsessed with good writing and effective communication. As an English major at Columbia, I am constantly writing and editing essays. Critically revising and refining essays (my own and others) is essentially my full-time job. As a writing instructor, my goal is always to help the writer find the right words to express his/her thought most effectively (i.e. how to make it as clear as possible to the reader), thus I often work with structure, complex arguments, rhetoric on a sentence level, and so on. More importantly, however, critical self-editing skills is the crucial skill I hope to impart. (No good writer is without critical self-editing skills.) One example of a self-editing technique is looking at your own essay and writing out the main idea of each paragraph: if it contains more than one main idea, you may need to consider separating them into two paragraphs for readerly clarity. This may sound simple, but in practice it can get extremely knotty, which is how I can help. Additionally, I am a published author and will absolutely love to work with creative writers. *** More general teaching philosophies Previously, I have taught music theory and given private piano and cello lessons to students of all ages. Being a music teacher has taught me the vital importance of making the classroom a collaborative space, given that musical techniques and concepts present individualized challenges to students that cannot be overcome without finding creative ways of modifying approaches based on students' unique learning profile. Additionally, I believe that the psychology of learning plays a vital role in an effective transfer of knowledge, and aim to create a collaborative space where the student is engaged, ready to be challenged, but comfortable asking questions and seeking help when struggling. (Especially in math, the fear of the subject is 70% of the battle. This is coming from personal experience)
