I am a graduate of New York University and received my Bachelor of Science in Finance. I also completed my premedical coursework at NYU and will be attending medical school in July 2015 as my next step to becoming a pediatrician. Ever since high school, I have tutored and worked with children of all ages and from all backgrounds. As a tutor at Mathnasium, I worked with elementary and middle school students to improve their math skills. In college, I worked for America Reads and served as a reading tutor for 3rd graders in a NYC public school. And after graduation, I spent my time before medical school teaching self-contained 4th grade in Houston ISD. While I tutor a wide range of age groups and content areas, I am most passionate about tutoring math, science, and college admission tests (SAT and ACT). As a public school teacher, I am also very familiar with 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade STAAR strategies and content. I have had a lifelong passion for working with children, teaching, learning, and math/science. I truly enjoy building relationships with my students and watching them grow academically. Besides teaching children, some of my hobbies include: hiking, skiing, swimming, working with animals, and enjoying the great outdoors.

An NYU graduate with a masters and bachelors in psychology specializing in clinical psychology and neuroscience. Due to working in research, I have a knowledge of mathematics, statistics, and biology. I also have a passion for sharing my knowledge and helping people achieve their full academic potential.

I am a multi-disciplinary theatre artist and voice teacher, with a 15 year background in professional performance and a B.M. in Music Theatre Vocal Performance from New York University. The theater is where I began my community-based education in the performing arts; its influence grounds my intersectional teaching praxis. I believe strongly in the educational sovereignty of the performing arts as a field of study. I continually strive to educate my music students through an intersectional lens that values engagement with critical thought.As a former middle school math teacher and long-term math tutor, I'm exceptionally well equipped to tutor all levels of mathematics through high school. Tutoring provides me with the opportunity to contribute to the academic success of students in all subjects and to promote intersectional learning. A fierce advocate for engagement with critical thought, I champion the growth of my students with tenacity and care.

As an undergrad at New York University, I am working towards my Bachelor of Arts in Economics. Since graduating from Brooklyn Technical High School, I have tutored high school students in algebra and trigonometry and helped prepare students for the SAT. I am also a Jumpstart Corps Member and spend a few days a week providing preschool children in low income communities support in language, literacy skills, and social-emotional competencies.While I have experience in a broad range of subjects, my favorite subject to tutor is math because of the systematic methods involved. My job as a tutor is to provide resources for my students and to guide them when they need help. I believe that the best kind of student is one who wants to improve as much as I want to help them. There must be effort from both sides.In my spare time, I like to knit and do other DIY projects.

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!

Hello! I am a twenty-two-year-old graduate of New York University, having studied International Relations and Middle Eastern Studies! I graduated Summa Cum Laude and received numerous academic honors throughout my time at NYU. In addition, I currently manage a city council campaign in Virginia in my free time (I love politics). I am ecstatic about teaching English (because, let's be real, who isn't?), college prep, standardized testing, and Arabic, and have many hobbies. I have taught English professionally and recreationally for a few years now; one year of which I tutored for a nonprofit in the Bronx, thereafter the next year I worked for a Beijing-based company teaching English to variously aged Chinese children, and finally, I've taught through Varsity Tutors itself. Moreover, I am fascinated with the Arabic language and helping others learn the difficult ropes of Arabic. I have been learning Modern Standard Arabic for eight years and am near fluency. I have studied abroad in Morocco and visited five Middle Eastern countries thus far. I LOVE doing Taekwondo and have a third-degree black belt therein and officiate across the United States; I love exploring and mountaineering and skiing in Montana (where I am from); I enjoy learning new languages greatly (I am learning Arabic, Hebrew, and German currently); and finally (but certainly not least) I relish meeting new people, helping them in any way I can, and discovering interesting things about their lives. I hope to see you soon, help you achieve any goal you academically desire (which anyone can do), and of course, find out more about yourself! I wish you all the best, Benjamin

I am a former research executive, teacher, and college administrator who graduated from Manhattan College with a B.S. in mathematics and from Stony Brook University with an M.S. in applied mathematics and statistics. In addition, I achieved my Ph.D. in mathematics education from New York University. I have quite a bit of experience tutoring a wide variety of mathematical subjects across all age groups from middle school to graduate level level courses. As a former college teacher and administrator, I have first-hand knowledge of how and why students struggle with the quantitative subject areas. This experience has served me well in finding ways to help students learn how to solve problems with confidence. I enjoy playing golf, yoga, weight lifting, and watching all sorts of sports, particularly football.

I'm an NYU (New York University) student pursuing a degree in Economics. I'm a hands on tutor who loves students, and I'm passionate about sharing my interests. I graduated high school with a bilingual diploma in Spanish, am familiar with Spanish language and culture, and have traveled widely. I'm also an avid writer and blogger.

I am a recent graduate from NYU where I received a B.A. in Mathematics and a B.A. in Language and Mind, a joint major between Linguistics and Psychology.I believe my areas of study demonstrate my approach to learning. I have always loved quantifying information to make it more digestible, but I will still think out of the box. This notion is especially important when analyzing language; after all, it is a human construct and an exact representation can be elusive.Here is a short anecdote, which I usually use tell people to sum up my way of thinking. When I was a child, twiddling my thumbs during a long road trip, I would grab a pen and paper and attempt to draw. I could imagine the details I wanted to create, but the drawing never came out the way I would picture it. So, I would play with numbers, because I could create the value. I can specifically remember multiplying 2 by itself 20 times, just to see what would happen, and I had no idea that I was uncovering an exponential growth rate.For the students that I will tutor, I will not only provide them with mathematical rigor, but also help them to picture the concept, as a way of developing their intuition.

After graduating from NYU's Gallatin school with an individualized major in Art History, Writing, and Studio Art, I have gone on to enroll in Hunter College's Graduate School of Education where I am studying Childhood and Special Education. English tutoring is my speciality. I especially enjoy tutoring reading, grammar, phonics, reading comprehension, essay writing, and ACT prep.I approach tutoring with patience and am mindful of each student's individual learning needs. I enjoy working with students to reach their unique goals, and am happiest when students are satisfied with and proud of their improvements and accomplishments.

I am a seasoned financial services professional with a deep understanding of the subject matter and the industry. I am patient and compassionate. I also know what it takes and how to learn the right way, giving the student the best chance for success.

In 2012, I graduated from New York University where I studied Dance and Psychology. After graduating, I performed internationally with a modern dance company. There I had the pleasure of teaching dance to a large range of ages and abilities. My experiences have varied from teaching Taiwanese school children to conducting workshops at Brown University. Throughout my education, I tutored students in a variety of academic disciplines. I am most passionate about psychology, statistics, and writing, and also enjoy helping students learn how to be better test takers. In my experience, preparing for Standardized Tests such as the SAT and ACT can be empowering. By ensuring that students master both the content and format of the test, they will be able to walk in on test day feeling calm and confident. My endeavors, domestic and abroad, have taught me to identify how a student best learns and help them approach conceptual roadblocks with creativity. I strongly believe in the importance of education. I consider it to be not only necessary to one's success, but also something that can be fun and extremely rewarding. When I'm not dancing or teaching, I love to read, visit museums, practice yoga, and watch independent films.

I am currently a sophomore at NYU studying English and Journalism. However, I can help with almost any subject, including math and science, as I took advanced-level courses and 13 AP tests in high school. I have years of experience tutoring students of all ages, from elementary school through high school. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the violin, reading, and writing. I live in New York City during the academic year (September - May) and would be happy to tutor in-person (depending on the travel distance) then. Of course, if you/your child is more comfortable with online tutoring, I can tutor online year-round. Thanks for dropping by, and I hope to work with you/your child soon!

Experienced teacher here, having just stepped away from the daily adventures of the classroom - though undeniably proud at leaving a fully formed poetry society in my wake - "O Captain, my Captain!" :) Tutor by day, poet by night, I find the written word a captivating way to expand one's mind, and rather amazingly, engage with the wisdom and humanity of authors from centuries long ago, from nations far and wide. Why does literacy matter? Reading deepens our empathy with fellow humans, reminding us that each person contains a rich inner world and stories all their own. The act of writing synthesizes what we learn. It helps us think critically and logically, equipping us to spot faulty arguments and discern truth from falsehood. Writing elucidates the inner self: it leads us to arrive at what we really think, feel, or believe. It connects us with the outer world by encouraging observation, and gives us the ability to praise its many beauties, protest its many injustices, and process or explore its mysteries. Each of us has a unique storytelling voice that can come across in our writing - often discovered through self-reflection, or by sharing experiences, just as you would tell a friend face-to-face. I love helping students find their own voice, especially if writing has always felt like a chore (at best) or an unassailable mountain (at worst). If needed, we can review style & mechanics (form/structure, grammar, tone, etc). Then, we're ready to light the fires of the piece and get cookin'! My expertise further resides in various intersections of the humanities, including literature, art, religion, philosophy, & music. We might investigate how these are connected or situated in response to the politics/history of a time and place. Finally, I'm happy to work with you on reading comprehension or fluency, expand your vocabulary, hone your academic writing, cultivate your creativity, partner with you to brainstorm for a project, or help you prepare for a test. Let's get started!

I am currently a senior at the Stern School of Business at NYU, graduating this semester. I am majoring in Management and Finance with a minor in History. Professionally I aligned to Strategy Consulting overall, but have numerous interests in M&A, Private Equity, and Venture Capital. I have tutored peers and students for the past 7 years of my life and I have always assumed a role of a mentor, instead of being a simple tutor. Tutoring in general is a perfect means of passing down tips and experience gathered over years of schooling that help numerous students, no matter where they are. Outside of all of these aspectes, I am an avid traveler and have a huge passion to touch every little piece of the globe. The world's various cultures and people have lived a different subset of experiences than we have in our Western society. The ability to open one's perspective to these varying views and approaches to life is a key element of learning and such experiences are critical to everyone's development. In teaching I always include all of my perspectives and insights, no matter the subject. I look forward to working closely with all of you!

My experience in education spans multiple formats such as counselor for summer research camps, teaching assistant for college courses, tutor for college courses, and dance instructor. These different positions have pushed me to broaden my perspective on how to communicate with students and address the topics they do not understand. While my educational background has more than prepared me to understand the basics of the science subjects that my students were studying, my goal as an instructor reaches beyond simply teaching the lesson; I also aim to spark my student's interests in the subject and make the lesson fun for them. I know from personal experience that learning any lesson is easier when one is interested and enjoys the learning experience. To that effect, I use concepts and analogies that relate to the students and grab their interests, and this relation may be from other topics or courses they have previously studied or an experience they come across on a daily basis. The latter is especially effective since that daily experience would serve to reinforce the lessons for the students and commit it to memory. These techniques, along with others, work well for tutoring since we often must cover a large amount of information in a relatively short amount of time.

I am a graduate from Fordham University with a BS in Biology and recently graduated with my MPH in Global Health and Epidemiology from NYU. I am passionate about the intersection between biology, statistics, infectious disease and health equity,

Hi, I'm Leila, a native Mandarin speaker with many years of teaching experience. I began teaching while studying at a prestigious U.S. university and now work with learners of all ages. I speak standard Mandarin and specialize in pronunciation, tone accuracy, vocabulary building, grammar support, and real-life communication. I would love to support you or your children and be a steady companion on your Mandarin learning journey. > Children: fun, structured lessons that build strong foundations, confidence, and early fluency > K12 Students: homework help, reading and speaking support, test prep, and school performance improvement > Adults & Professionals: conversation practice, workplace Mandarin, tone correction, and confidence-building My students describe my classes as clear, supportive, and effective, and I'm grateful for the positive feedback I've received over the years. I look forward to meeting everyone in my future class.

I recently completed an MA in French Studies from New York University, following an MA in European Union Studies and a BA with High Distinction in History from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I can tutor a wide variety of subjects, including standardized test prep, English, and French, but my favorites to work with are History and writing. The study of History is my passion, and there are few things that I enjoy more than getting the opportunity to share this passion with others. As part of my History Honors program in undergrad, I was able to help tutor other students in these subjects, including preparing for exams. I also have experience in providing peer reviews and constructive critiques in graduate level writing in multiple fields. Coming from a family of teachers, education has always been a central value in my life, and I try to use this love of learning to help create the best experience I can for my students. I believe that every tutoring session should be built around the interests and learning styles of the student to ensure that they not only learn, but hopefully come to enjoy it too. Outside of academics, I usually fill my time with reading, playing video games, exercising, and cooking.

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.

I have 2+ years of experience teaching FIRST LEGO League Robotics and 2+ years of experience tutoring ACT/SAT math and middle school math (pre-algebra, algebra, probability, geometry). I hope to help more students to reach their academic goals.

I'm an experienced and educated instructor, with both academic expertise and practical experience in the subjects I tutor. I hold a B.A. in Political Science, History and Philosophy of Law from Hofstra University and am pursuing a Master of Public Administration at New York University. I tutor subjects including writing, history, political science, and test preparation. I have tutored students from various backgrounds and with varying interests and strengths. My students exceed their goals and improve their scores, knowledge, and skills in measurable ways. Outside of academics, I enjoy researching local history, writing, and volunteering in community service and civic engagement projects. These interests continually remind me that learning is most powerful when it connects to real lives and real communities, an idea I bring into every tutoring session. Regardless of where you're starting or where you're going I hope to be a part of your path to being a successful student.

I went to Stuyvesant High School in Manhattan, specializing in math and science. I graduated from University at Albany Magna Cum Laude with a degree in English Literature. I am currently pursuing a master's degree in Speech-Language Pathology at New York University. I chose this field because of my love of language and my desire to help people. My ambition is to work in a school for children with special needs. While I am in graduate school, I want to give back to the community by helping students achieve academic success. It is quite rewarding.I have experience tutoring students of all ages. I specialize in math through the high school level, including Algebra. Because of my speech-language pathology background, I also enjoy tutoring reading, writing, and phonics. I also can tutor for the general subject specialized tests, including the PSAT, the SAT, and the GRE.I hope I can help your student fulfill his or her potential.

I am currently enrolled at NYU Tandon School of Engineering and am majoring in Integrated Digital Media with a minor in computer science. While I am a full-time student, I see no better option than tutoring in my spare time. I first started tutoring in my first year of high school and continued through my four years which definitely helped me mature in that time. There is something so unexplainably gratifying in seeing one's frustration in not understanding a concept turn into excitement once he/she has grasped it. In order for a child to succeed, it is key that they are helped through this frustration stage so that they can regain the confidence to tackle any problem put before them. I found it very important to not only help the children I tutored to rebuild their confidence, but to also let them know that success is dependent on how much effort they put into their studies. I often asked students how they felt after the introduction of every concept in order to gage their understanding of the material thus far; this was beneficial because I could usually monitor when a child would get confused thus understanding when I had to focus on certain material. I, too, was a child who was too nervous to stop my teachers/tutors anytime I would get confused which is why I think it is necessary to reach out and ask the child how they are doing.I tend to gravitate more towards tutoring in math because of the ease I had with it when I was in middle and high school but am still more than willing to tutor humanities based subjects. Outside of academia, I like to draw, paint, creatively write, and volunteer at animal shelters.

Hi, My name is Gabriel Campbell. I've been a teacher and tutor for 10+ years. I have a bachelors from NYU in Philosophy and Creative Writing, a Masters of Education from University of Minnesota in English as an Additional Language, and an Associates in Civil Engineering from Bellevue College. I have experience teaching almost every subject and every grade level. Test Scores: SAT 1480/1600 (as a child/teenager) ACT English 34/36 ACT Reading 34/36 ACT Science 33/36 ACT Math 30/36 (before taking engineering courses) LSAT 176/180

I'm a recent NYU grad with a major in Romance Languages (French and Spanish) and a minor in Chinese. I have also studied a bit of Italian, Japanese, German, and Swedish. I have always had a passion for foreign languages, fascinated by both the linguistic mechanics and the cultural practices that have prompted each language's unique style. I greatly enjoy sharing the knowledge I've learned from my studies with others, which is the primary reason why I became a Varsity tutor!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in French and International Relations and a Master's Degree in Urban Planning from New York University. I have always loved traveling, and I actually got to travel abroad for the first time on my own, when I was 15 years old. I stayed with a French family for a month in Lille. I loved it so much that I went back again the next summer. Then I got to spend my entire Junior year of college in Paris! It was wonderful to be able to attend classes at the Sorbonne, one of the oldest universities in the world, as well as the Paris Institute of Political Sciences (Sciences Po). After college and grad school, I've continued to travel abroad as much as possible, and I have always kept up my French language skills along to way. I'm also pretty decent at Spanish, am learning Greek, and have a little background in Italian too. I tutor students in French, and I find that the best way to learn it is to make it fun. Yes, of course we can't avoid learning the grammar, vocabulary, spelling, etc., but it's nice to mix in songs, games, clips from cinema and television, even cooking recipes. I feel bringing some of those things into the virtual classroom helps engage students and make them more eager to want to learn the language.

Ben is an experienced financial services professional with experience spanning investment research, corporate strategy, corporate development/M&A, innovation strategy and change management. He has held prior roles at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, JPMorgan Chase, The Federal Reserve Bank of New York, ISI Group (now Evercore ISI) and in renewables/infrastructure private equity.He received a B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis with Magna Cum Laude honors and an MBA with distinction from the NYU Stern School of Business with Dean's Award honors (awarded to top 1% of graduating class) and the Marcus Nadler Award (top Finance and Banking student). He is also a CFA charterholder.

I tutor with two purposes regardless of the subject matter. The first is to meet the student's goals. The second is to give each student the skills to teach himself or herself. Those learning skills will enable them to improves their academic performance and as important build self-confidence.

Hi there! Please allow me to introduce myself. A little bit of a background on my education: I did my Undergraduate from Syracuse University in Bio-engineering and my Masters in Electrical Engineering from NYU Poly. I'm an Electrical Engineer with 12 years of experience between the defense industry and railroad. I'm currently waiting to start my certification program with the help of MIT's Professional Education program in Applied Business Analytics so I may make better business decisions that are data driven. I should be earning my certification by the end of this academic year.

I have been a teacher for over forty years. Additionally, I have run two college tutorial centers. You can find my books on Amazon.com.

After being a high school exchange student in South America, I started tutoring my classmates. I continued feeding my passion for the language and culture through travel and study. Now I share my experience and love of Spanish as a teacher.

I am a graduate of New York University. I received my Bachelor of Science in Childhood (G 1-6) Education and Childhood (G1-6) Special Education. I have gotten my teacher certification in the state of New York, right after graduating. After graduating from NYU, I taught English to students in Elementary School in Korea (G1-6) and I have taught all different levels. I am now pursuing a master's of Education in English Language Learner program at Vanderbilt University. I am passionate about elementary education and teaching English as a foreign language. In my experience of learning and teaching elementary school, I always try to make the activity more engaging and fun. In my spare time, I like to listen to music, watch tv, and hang out with friends.

I've been tutoring professionally in homes and in institutions (NYU) for over eight years now. I have a breadth of knowledge when it comes to the SHSAT and SAT and all levels of mathematics as I am an engineer by profession. I graduated from New York University with a degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. Numbers are my thing :). I work at your pace where ever you may be.

I am currently attending New York University where I am pursuing a degree in Finance and Statistics. I have previous experience tutoring individuals in math, a subject I have always excelled at academically. My knowledge and interest in mathematics, makes it easy for me to frame and deconstruct seemingly complicated concepts and theories in ways students will be able to understand and remember. Outside of academia I enjoy playing tennis, going to movies, and spending time with friends and family.

I graduated from New York University with an education degree specific to secondary mathematics. My work with students has been ongoing since 2008 and has involved junior high students from New Jersey, high schoolers from New York, and even young ESL students in Shanghai. My expertise ranges from Middle School Math to Calculus I. I appreciate and respect math because of the precision, creativity, and attention to detail that it demands (and hopefully you will, too!). Geometry and Algebra are arguably the most strategy-oriented fields, and thus they are my favorite to explore.Tutoring should be engaging and dare I say enjoyable. Beyond the problem sets and test reviews, my task is to help you become a better and more creative thinker. The brain is a lot like a muscle; we should work it out together while having an appropriate amount of fun along the way. Despite what you may have heard, math is not this impossible and terrible thing cooked up to make you miserable. I think I can convince you of that.When I'm not working, I bike and do yoga. Otherwise I'm reading, writing limericks or maybe re-watching Breaking Bad.

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 have worked with students for multiple years now, teaching standardized testing mathematics, competition math, and general math concepts. I find that teaching others has always motivated me to learn new skills myself, and I hope my enthusiasm is contagious! I want to help you not only understand the material, but understand why it is exciting and worthwhile. I am a patient listener and celebrate mistakes.When I work with students, I make sure that they find a way to get excited about the material, and understand the connections between the various topics. I think that everyone learns differently, and I can help you find your strengths, even if you've always been "bad" at a subject. I used to find school very frustrating, but I have learned to trust myself and my skills. Since then, I have become an excellent student and hope to help you do the same.I'm now a student at NYU Gallatin, and previously attended Phillips Exeter Academy, the country's #1 ranked high school according to Niche.com. While in high school, I haven taken courses in Calculus, Multivariable Calculus, Abstract Math, Non-Euclidean Geometry, Machine Learning, and Data Structures. I have received a total of 8 perfect "5" scores on AP tests, and have competed in competition math for a number of years, receiving a perfect 150 on the AMC 12, one of only 27 high school students nationally to do so.I look forward to hearing from and working together with you!

I am graduate of NYU with a BA in Politics and Creative Writing. I am a part time poet with works published both in online and print magazines, as well as a full time recruiter in the fields of Finance and Business Strategy. I have a large range of tutoring and teaching experience in subjects ranging from Calculus, English, Economics, Test Prep, and Writing. I also have classroom experience as a substitute teacher at St. Ann's School in Brooklyn, and experience teaching children from ages 4 to 18 as a coach for a recreational swim team. My favorite subjects to teach are writing, poetry and other English language fields. Outside of academics and poetry my interests in include comedy, art, sports, and competitive swimming.

I am a graduate of New York University???s undergraduate history program. My main focus was the cultural and intellectual history of WWII Japan. In my final summer at NYU I traveled to Japan where I studied Japanese, traditional music, and Wartime film.I offered my academic services both in high school and college, often to my peers, primarily in writing and mathematics. I work carefully with students to bring out clarity and richness of expression in their writing. Essays are essentially portraits of your character and logical flow, which is often where students are lost, is crucial towards creating a compelling voice. Mathematics is similar; it requires a practiced hand and a clear mental map. I am happy to guide students at any level and tailor lessons to their needs.Although I enjoy writing and mathematics the most, I have a passion for physics, earth sciences, reading comprehension French and Japanese. I encourage students to find freedom in these subjects rather than trauma. In each lies a means of expression and an opportunity for dialogue. Physics, for example, offers us a completely new vocabulary for describing our natural world. My goal is for you to develop a comfortable rhythm using unfamiliar vocabulary and the ideas behind them. Patience, young one, and you will feel empowered, not intimidated on test day!My method involves students in developing their own ways of learning and exploring what makes sense to them. We all come from different backgrounds and connect with material in different ways. Together we can develop this as a strength so that you have your own set of tools that you can apply to any problem. This, ultimately, is the test of any academic pursuit. I am comfortable reaching out and adapting the material whether it be SAT, SAT II, IB, AP, or classwork to where you are now.My hobbies include poetry, electronic music, ink drawings and youtube.
