I take a holistic approach to student success and, in early sessions or prior to meeting with students, value consultation as a means towards achieving educational success. I care deeply for my clients and, within my tutoring sessions, build upon the goals I have used in my own classroom environments in the past. My tutoring philosophies revolve around: 1. valuing student inquiry whenever possible, and 2. utilizing tangible data as checkpoints to gauge student progress. As a teacher and tutor I pride myself on my ability to meet students where they are and to guide them towards their educational goals by utilizing as much data and anecdotal evidence as possible. It a positive challenge for me to continue to codify various academic benchmarks as standards for consultation and as pathways to student success.As a certified teacher and an instructor of AP Literature, AP Language, and Honors American Literature in the NY Public School system as well as a standardized test and college essay tutor for over six years, I am dedicated to creating an individualized and enriching learning experience for each of my students. As a creative writer, I value creativity and inquiry which often spills over into tutoring sessions; I enjoy tackling new challenges with innovation and verve. It is for these reasons that I so value positivity and creativity within my tutoring sessions; learning should be challenging in a positive way, not in a way that brings frustration or low self-confidence.Prior to moving to New York to work in the NYC Public School system, I worked with grades 9-12 in the Match Tutor Corps, a program dedicated to supplementing classroom learning with small group or one-on-one tutoring. My previous experience has also allowed me to work with a variety of grades from preschool to high school at a myriad of programs including the Arlington, MA Public School system, the A+ Student Center, Phoenix Charter Academy, the BELL Tutoring Program, and the Americorps Programs Breakthrough Collaborative and Jumpstart. I am truly passionate about student success for students of all abilities and backgrounds, and I am dedicated to supporting students and families as they set and achieve their academic goals.As an AP English Language, AP English Literature, and SAT teacher, I am dedicated to breaking down English skills in a comprehensive and engaging way. I have attended numerous writing and AP training sessions including the Rutgers University Pre-College Writing Program, the Collegeboard AP Language Summer Intensive, and various graduate-level classes in teaching English while obtaining my Master's in Education. In addition, I am currently enrolled in Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English, studying towards an additional Master's in English Literature and taking courses with top professors from around the country.I welcome any additional inquiries regarding my tutoring philosophies and look forward to hearing from you. It is wonderful that you are taking the next step towards academic achievement and success, and I look forward to working with you to help you achieve your educational goals.

I served in Peace Corps Morocco from 2012 to 2015 as a Youth Development and Public Health volunteer, and beyond my studies, I have worked throughout the world in conflict zones and natural disasters for various humanitarian organizations, including Norwegian Refugee Council, Mercy Corps and the United Nations. My time in Morocco is where teaching and tutoring begin for me, and while I have taught a wide variety of subjects to a wide range of students, I've found that one of one teaching/tutoring is where I am most able to impart my experience in writing, editing, journalism and literature to students. Having worked with a diverse and international spectrum of colleagues, team mates and students, I've found my teaching style focused on connecting with the student in order to understand their areas of strength; identifying our strengths enables us to best target where we want to make improvements. I strongly believe that having the tools and confidence to be a strong writer results in confidence and heightened abilities in every other subject. In my free time, I love to run, climb mountains, cook, write and read.

Alexandra
BA Emerson College • Doctor of Philosophy, Astronomy Georgia State University
10+ Years Tutoring

I am an astronomer who spends her days coding in Python and conjuring up equations to fit trends I observe in my spectroscopic data. Currently, I study how stellar environment affects the gaseous disks around baby stars that may be forming planets (Yep & White 2020, The Astrophysical Journal, Volume 889, Issue 1, id. 50). Math, physics, and coding are all part of my job solving mysteries of the Universe! Throughout the year (except during global pandemics), I run Georgia State University's telescopes to show everyone the planets, stars, clusters, and galaxies visible from right here on Earth. Any questions? Ask away!From arithmetic to algebra, calculator to calculus, I have always enjoyed math. It is beautiful and logical like a game of chess, and just like in chess, even though there is one right answer (checkmate?), there are often many ways to get there, some faster than others, some easier than others. Math actually benefits from a touch of creativity.Maybe I can help you with that. I have had the pleasure of obtaining two very different degrees, a Bachelor of Fine Arts in creative writing at Emerson College followed directly by a Master of Science in physics at California State University, Northridge. Now I am pursuing a Ph.D. in astronomy at Georgia State University. I have run the gamut of both creative and cold, hard, scientific courses and have written both poems and scientific papers about the stars. I make a point of creating scientific graphs that are aesthetically pleasing. One could say both halves of my brain are fairly active.This is a great combination for teaching mathematics. I have tutored both children and adults in everything from fundamentals to precalculus ever since I was in high school, starting with my sister who needed a little help with trigonometry. Now at Georgia State I teach introductory astronomy and physics labs to undergraduates, some of them in STEM majors, many of them not. I try to be as illustrative and flexible as possible when I teach. Most students respond well to visualizations of mathematical concepts, so I start there and always like to use PowerPoints or whiteboards, or at least my expressive hands, to show what equations represent and what they can show us. If students respond well, great, I build to the next concept. If students are not confident, I slow down and try to pinpoint the source of confusion, so I can adjust their perspective and clarify what is really going on. I try to give tips and tricks on how to apply and remember the many mathematical tools students encounter. I show them not just how to solve equations, but also how to graph and manipulate and reshape them, so that someday they can glance at an equation and guess how it will look and what it will do if a given parameter is altered. This is an extremely powerful skill that I believe should be much more strongly emphasized in mathematical education, as early as algebra. This may be why algebra (the beginning of all things, rooted in perfect balance) is my favorite subject to teach.Math is a lot less scary when you understand it better and can in fact start visualizing equations. Let me show you. :)

I am a senior studying Film Production at Emerson College. Though I am pursuing a career in filmmaking, I am also passionate about education. I have volunteered extensively to tutor children through various programs. At the Rosedale Achievement Center in the Bronx, I worked one-on-one with a high school student and with a middle school student. I helped them understand their school work in subjects including English, French, Algebra, Chemistry, History and Religious Studies. I also volunteered with Free Arts NYC, through which I, along with a group of tutors, taught small groups of elementary and middle school students about various famous artists and art techniques, and lead them in art projects. I have also taught swimming lessons as a Water Safety Instructor for several years; I taught children from age 4 to age 15 at Brookhaven Country Day Camp and at the Fresh Air Fund. These lessons taught me how to break down complex concepts to make them simple to understand. Furthermore, I am passionate about writing.

In a one-on-one environment it is possible, and thus, I believe, imperative to zero in on each student's individual learning style, whether it be visual, aural, verbal, etc., and teach in the manner that the student responds to best. The student may not know at the beginning of our tutoring sessions what kind of learner they are, but after we have figured it out together they will have gained an important tool in becoming independent learners because they will know the best way for them to receive information and thus will be able to educate themselves more easily.My mother is a high school Spanish teacher and thus has imparted the vast importance of education onto me throughout my life. Education opens so many doors that would have been closed otherwise and having the right teacher to help open those doors can make all the difference. I believe that, through my dedication to academia, my love of learning, and experience helping my peers write in fiction and essay workshops that I have the ability to be the type of teacher to elevate students to their full potential.

Writing is one of those wonderful, terrible things that can feel like a heavy burden right up until it's done - then, suddenly, you're free! Believe me, I understand. I've been doing it for years: writing papers for school, articles for magazines, stories for my friends. It can feel like it's just you against the blank page. But it isn't! You have people on your side, and I'd like to be one of them.I received my bachelor's degree from Emerson College and my master's from Clark University. Now, I'm finishing up a PhD at the University at Buffalo. Emerson called it "Writing, Literature, and Publishing"; Clark called it "Literature in English." To me, it's all of a piece - it's the craft of language.Most of my teaching and tutoring experience is with college students. I've taught introductory writing courses, fiction and poetry workshops, an introduction to literature, and - my personal favorite - science fiction. I've also been a tutor at two university writing centers, where I worked one on one with undergraduates, visiting scholars, and alumni. (I've occasionally tutored middle-school kids on a freelance basis.)My philosophy of teaching is simple: treat students with respect. This includes offering them challenges I think they can meet and understanding their particular circumstances. I try to make learning something they can - and have to - participate in, something engaging, with games and exercises that foreground how writing is present in the world.We live in strange times. Reading, thinking, and writing clearly are more important than ever. I'm here to help.

I graduated summa cum laude from Emerson College, where I received a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre Studies and a minor in Writing, Literature, and Publishing. While in college in Boston, I was struck by a quote on the side of the Boston Public Library: "The Commonwealth requires the education of the people as the safeguard of order and liberty." This statement gives me great inspiration as I work with my students. As a tutor, I have worked with students from ages 5 to 25. I tutor many academic subjects, but my favorites are always History, Social Science, English, and Literature. I love these subjects because I often feel they are our greatest keys to understanding why the world behaves as it does. I have taught numerous forms of standardized tests for admittance to high schools and colleges. It is not uncommon for my students to see significant increases in math, reading, and writing sections of these tests. I always find that the best tutoring results come from keeping sessions as fun and engaging as possible while still covering the material. When not tutoring, I teach performance classes in subjects like magic, comedy, and balloon sculpting. When not teaching, I enjoy reading, hiking, travel, and video games.

I attended Mamaroneck High School and graduated as a member of the National Honor Society. From there, I went to Emerson College to pursue my BFA in Writing, Literature, and Publishing where I took several intensive literature, analytical writing, creative writing, and public speaking courses. My concentration was in fiction writing and analysis. I also minored in Marketing Communications where I studied social media marketing and web analytics.At both institutions, I was able to tutor several students in English mechanics, reading comprehension, analytical writing, essay structure, and story analysis and composition. Most of my experience in tutoring has revolved around helping older students particularly 11th and 12th graders, and freshman and sophomore undergraduates, but I have also tutored 9th and 10th graders.My favorite subject to tutor is literary analysis! I love talking about stories and helping students identify themes and literary elements, and I am passionate about making sure students understand stories within the historical contexts in which they were written.As for tutoring style, I am all about understanding - both as an instructor, and as a student. I want to understand my student's abilities, struggles, and passions as best as I can, so that I can more effectively help them find themselves in their work and accomplish it to the best of their ability. My style revolves around verbal communication and problem-solving, and emphasizes these qualities in a team setting. I will work with my students in a manner that bolsters their self-confidence and academic independence as I firmly believe these are qualities that lead to a successful academic life.When I am not reading, writing, or tutoring, I enjoy baking, knitting, and drawing. I have a passion for comics and graphic novels, and I probably watch things on Netflix too often. I believe in the power of communication through art, and I love talking about it!

I am a college student currently studying at Emerson College in the Business of Creative Enterprises Major. I am extremely interested in pursuing education in some form after graduation, as I believe it to be one of the most important yet overlooked aspects of society. I have tutored students for the English SAT for the College Board itself, have generally advised students in a number of subjects over the years, and have had direct experience as an Assistant Teacher in the 8th Grade. Though I love to teach, and can teach a number of subjects, I enjoy English, Writing, and Science the most. I think some of my best lessons relate to test taking and writing tips and tricks. In my free time, I like to read, play board and video games, and spend time with my family.
