I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a focus on Process Engineering. Currently, I am working towards higher education degrees and starting my career as an Engineer. Helping others to learn and understand material has always been a passion of mine. Immersing myself in a rigorous Engineering curriculum, I found myself working closely with peers and classmates in understanding the subject material. During my time at New York University, I served as a tutor for the Tutoring Center at the School of Engineering working with individuals and groups from a variety of subjects corresponding to Engineering, such as mathematics, physics, life sciences, with a primary focus on Chemical sciences and Chemical Engineering coursework. As a part of the University outreach program, I had the opportunity to work with high school students and provide tutoring after school for local high schools in the area with respect to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. I have a strong affinity for tutoring Math and Science materials. These subjects require strong problem solving skills. In my experience working with students in Standardized test preparation, we find the time spent on the Math portions to be the most enriching with results. T.H White once claimed 'Education is experience, and the essence of experience is self-reliance.' I hold similar values to T.H White with respect to the learning process. There is always something to learn, and the best way to accomplish this is to immerse one-self in the subject. Through continuous repetition and exposure, problem solving skills will be developed and we become more confident in handling the problems that we face. I also do not believe in the concept of failure, for mistakes we make can be used to learn and better ourselves. Outside of academia, I am a club soccer coach training and teaching the game to young children and adolescence. I enjoy keeping my brain and body active through puzzles, reading, exercise, and many sports specifically soccer and volleyball. I enjoy activities that induce progress, as I am always looking to better myself.

As the eldest sibling in my family, I naturally grew into the role of helping my younger sister and her friends with their homework. Before long, my parents suggested that since I was already helping her, why not assist some of their friends as well? And just like that, my teaching journey began. As a kid, I went from tutoring family friends to, later in high school, volunteering to tutor kids with disabilities in math. Now, in college, I tutor several children ranging from elementary to early high school in subjects like English, math, science, and social studies. Through these experiences, I've discovered a profound joy in witnessing the expressions of understanding on their faces when a challenging problem finally makes sense. Their growth and learning fill me with a pride that surpasses even my academic achievements. I've come to realize that teaching is more than just sharing knowledgeit's about nurturing confidence and curiosity in others. My goal is to help as many kids as possible, teaching them not just concepts but also how to believe in their abilities and embrace growth.

Knowledge is imperative for not only personal, but also social and economic growth. As a tutor, I would like to disseminate this knowledge and teach students the valuable skills needed to independently obtain knowledge, create concepts, and build new ideas on those fundamental concepts. I graduated as a University Scholar and pre-med student from New York University with a major in Psychology and minors in Physics, Molecular and Cell Biology, and Chemistry. Having excelled in Psychology and its research, I am a member of the International Honor Society in Psychology; hence, I am well qualified to teach this subject. Because I am passionate about reading and writing, both creatively and academically, I have excelled in the Critical Reading and Writing sections of the PSAT, SAT, ACT, and MCAT and have often tutored peers facing difficulties in these areas. Although I struggled with Physics in high school, I approached it differently at NYU, was extremely intrigued by it, and decided to pursue a minor in it.This is the same kind of change I would like to bring about in my students through effective communication and personalized learning styles. There is no universal way to study, and understanding how a student learns new a concept is imperative to obtaining success in any field. I have taught young children, high school students, and college students topics like algebra, dance, and health education. Each age group positively responds to a different style of teaching, motivation, and communication; being adaptable and open to these changes is my forte. My teaching style often revolves around developing self-motivation, planning schedules, and understanding students' short-term and long-term goals. Because I recently graduated, I understand the stress students have managing their busy schedules, extracurricular activities, and studying for standardized exams, all while maintaining a solid GPA. Being flexible, compassionate, and patient is very important when teaching and I believe that an amalgamation of these traits, my teaching experience, and subject knowledge make me a well-rounded and effective tutor.

Since I was a child, I was always very committed to learning. One of my favorite things to do as an adolescent and teenager was to read interesting literature. I remember having abridged versions even as a small child of great classics such as Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and The Call of the Wild. This inspired me to think in vivid and active ways. This approach to life remains with me to this day. I believe that actively reading about the world around us is a key to success. Staying informed about current and relevant issues is a necessary component of being an involved citizen of the world.My education and natural curiosity have taken me to many different places and settings. I like to travel and have traveled to several places, mostly in Europe, North America and Latin America. Every day, I continue to observe and be fascinated by the world around me. I enjoy working with students who have a commitment to education and who are looking to improve their critical thinking and scholarship!My love of education has translated to success in certain endeavors. Currently, I am a PhD Student at Rutgers University. I am studying Political Science with a focus on comparative politics and women and politics. I am writing a dissertation on women's political participation in Eastern Europe. I also have a Masters Degree in Global Affairs from New York University.I graduated summa cum laude from NYU. At NYU, I was awarded a Fulbright Scholarship from the U.S. State Department. As a result, I moved to Serbia, where I lived and did research on women in politics for one year. This was an extremely positive and rewarding experience for me. Before NYU, I obtained a BA in Political Science from the Macaulay Honors College at Queens College. I received the degree cum laude. At Queens College, I was a student senator for one year and a member of the water polo team for two years.I have a strong commitment to learning about and teaching global affairs, political science, reading, writing and some math subjects. Last year, I was a Teaching Assistant for two noted Rutgers professors. I assisted in teaching an introductory Political Science course. We covered great thinkers ranging from Niccolo Machiavelli to Fyodor Dostoevsky. This year, I am teaching an introductory writing course at Rutgers. The course emphasizes expanding and improving the conceptual and analytical skills of Rutgers first-year students. I have a flexible and tolerant teaching style but I do expect my students to learn and improve. I have high standards for them and myself.My main goal as a teacher or tutor is to instill a sense of purpose and curiosity within my students. I hope to help them view the world around them as an open and exciting place, one that can improve only if we continue to educate and inspire a critical group in our society-- our youth.Outside of academia and education, I love watching and playing sports. I am a big fan of the professional tennis circuit (Go Djokovic!), the NBA and the WNBA. I also am a fan of artespecially painting and photography. I enjoy taking pictures of the city I was born in called Kotor, Montenegro. It is a picturesque, seaside city on the coast of Montenegro, on the Eastern Mediterranean Sea.Thank you for reading all about me, I look forward to working with you!

I teach because there are few thrills greater than that "lightbulb" moment when a student, regardless of age, background or aspiration, looks up and says, "I get it now!" My job as a tutor is to find unique paths to lightbulb moments for each and every student, and in so doing, instill confidence and create opportunities for continuing success.All too often, a child's classroom experience becomes one of frustration and discouragement. It's not the fault of the school or the teacher, necessarily. Schools only receive a fraction of the support they need and teachers are overburdened by large class sizes, mandated testing and restrictive curricula. As an individual tutor, I can assess a child's exact needs and address those factors that inhibit a child's success with patience and creative approaches that nurture curiosity and impart a sense of discovery.For reluctant readers with lagging comprehension, who view the task as a chore, very often the problem is a weak vocabulary and a lack of contextual understanding. I encourage students to learn new words as an act of discovery and record each in their personal list, which they can take pride in enlarging. Contextual understanding can be achieved by offering stories and sharing the process of exploration and discovery, both online and in books.Writing, where many students have the greatest difficulty, should be enjoyed as an expressive activity, not dreaded as a mysterious and difficult task they will never master. I teach rules of grammar and the best practices for composition as parts of the process of writing, which empowers children to be their own editors and relieves then of the fear of making errors, or "saying something wrong." When children realize that their ideas and words are valid and that they have the power to improve them, writing assignments can become opportunities for expression and sources of accomplishment and pride.As a lifelong science nerd, I can help students who are having difficulty with science and math see that these subjects are neither abstract, nor useless. Science and math are, in fact, all around us and in everything we do and experience, from the simple physics of a subway ride or baseball game, to being able to use math to make predictions about weather or finances. I can show students how humans are part of the natural world and linked to every other living creature.Likewise, history needn't be regarded as a meaningless list of abstract dates and events that must be memorized. I can show students who don't think they care about history that all those events and dates are linked to the world we live in now. I teach that we are linked to the past through the people we know and share my own personal knowledge and experiences of times they think of as historical, but that I remember first hand. History is about stories and I can make that subject real and important by sharing some of my own stories.Most of all, I work to inspire students' own natural curiosity and desire to succeed. There are no wrong, bad or incorrect questions. I encourage all the students I work with to ask whatever questions they have during a time I set aside after our work is done and I promise them that I'll answer them all as best I can.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Cinema Studies from New York University. At NYU, I also completed the premedical curriculum and am currently seeking admission into medical school. I grew up in Central New Jersey as a student of the largest high school district in the state. My own educational opportunities have helped me develop a passion and reverence for education. I spent my first postgraduate year serving under-resourced 8th grade students in Brooklyn; in this position, I helped motivate and lead my students, many of whom face great challenges and adversity in life, to academic success in the subjects of Math, English, and Science. While I tutor many subjects, I have a particular passion for Math and Sciences seeing as those are the subjects I will continue to pursue in my own life. I have also had particular success in prepping students for test taking by using my extensive experience in this area to assist my students. I would describe my teaching style and philosophy as a development of mutual respect; I have come to understand that a student's respect for learning is often a reflection of his or her teacher's attitude toward the learning process. I am a patient and caring teacher and I care greatly for my students' improvements. In my free time, you can find me fancying myself a film critic or picking up a stray set on the tennis court.

I earned my PhD in physics (New York University) and work in nanotechnology research and development. I worked as a teaching assistant throughout my graduate school years (which there were seven of!), also taking on a number of private tutoring students during that time. My teaching experience has been in physics and in several areas of mathematics, from algebra through calculus. I've also tutored my own children successfully through math and physics over the years.I enjoy teaching these subjects because students can be helped to excel in them by learning to think in a quantitative way. This skill is important for life in our technological society.The best way to teach goes beyond "picking the right formula to use." Mastery of this type of subject matter comes from being able to ask "what is it I'm trying to accomplish by asking this question? What is the item - that can be quantified - that I need to extract from the problem material at hand?" Then the formula becomes a tool to aid in turning the data into a solution.

Look, learning can be toughbut it's rewarding in the end, and done right, it can be a lot of fun. My goal is to help students learn and succeed, but also to help them have a good time while doing it.Part of what I love most about being a journalist is breaking things down and making them understandable to the massesbasically, teaching people new things. If they don't comprehend and retain that knowledge, I haven't succeeded in my job, just like a tutor. I've been informally tutoring people for years, whether it's helping children study for classes while babysitting in high school and college or helping classmates learn and prepare for school all the way back to my elementary school days. In one form or another, I've been helping people learn almost as long as I remember.A great tutor needs to be intelligent, with a comprehensive, intuitive understanding of the subject matter. It's not enough to just know the answers to questions; a tutor needs to understand why the answers are what they are. A great tutor needs to be compassionate, patient, understanding, and kind, to help create a safe, creative and comfortable environment for the student to learn. And a great tutor needs to be empathetic, to be able to put him/herself in the student's shoes and understand why he or she might be having trouble.

I have worked with middle, high school, and college-aged students in one-on-one tutoring sessions, supporting them in essay writing, reading comprehension, grammar, vocabulary, and standardized test preparation. I especially enjoy helping students with essays, whether for school assignments, test prep, or applications. My tutoring philosophy is conversational, supportive, and focused on growth.

Every dawn is a new beginning and an opportunity to broaden our horizon with knowledge and hope.Starting at an early age my interests were very diverse and my curiosity immense. I've always been an artist at heart and wanted to obtain a solid academic foundation. Therefore, I went on to complete my studies at New York University where I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Comparative Literature and French Literature. My strong interest in discovering the world and communicating with people led me to learn Italian, Spanish, and Portugese on my own while maintaining fluency in my mother language which is Greek. I then went on to travel around the world to countries like Nepal, Argentina, Morocco, Indonesia along with many others, in some of which I have resided for long periods of time.As an artist I've been designing jewelry, painting, sculpting, and always creating something new.I have a strong interest in alternative healing modalities and I am certified in Tai massage, reiki level ll, practice EFT tapping technique and meditation.I consider physical exercise a major part of my life as well as I've being involved with Yoga, Capoeira, Dance, swimming etc...An overall rounded education and perception of life increases the flexibility of our brain to access and process information endowing us with a greater learning ability.
