I am a current freshman studying at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute for a Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering. Previously, I spent a few months working at Mathnasium as a tutor when I was a high school senior, and I also currently have a work-study job as a tutor at a nearby middle school. I usually tutor middle school and high school math ranging from Algebra 1 to Calculus. I believe that math and learning should be an important aspect for everyone in life, and I'm happy to guide anyone in anyway I can. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and watch different sports such as soccer and formula 1.

I *love* to help people achieve *their* dreams. Math and science courses pose challenges for some as they pursue those dreams. I tutor math and science (specifically chemistry and physics) to help people overcome those challenges and thrive. I strive to understand a student's perspective and then utilize hands on demonstrations and activities to help *you* learn the material the way that makes sense to *you*. I am recently retired from Ohio University where I was a full time professor of physics. In addition, I have taught high school math and science, organize and mentor for Science Day and Science Olympiad, and was coach for the Math Counts program at my local middle school. My education includes a Masters in Science from Michigan State and a Ph.D. from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I tutor a broad range of subjects but am most passionate about physics (AP, IB, and regular), astronomy, calculus (AP and regular), and algebra/trigonometry. I firmly believe in the power of education to change lives and believe that I can help anyone learn.
I'm a tutor and teacher with over 6 years of experience that conducts low-stress, engaging, and meaningful sessions with my students.My name is Sarah Tedesco and I am a 23-year-old Ph.D. student from Long Island, New York. I am a first year Ph.D. student in Cellular Biology at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I currently hold a Master's Degree in Biomedical Engineering from the same university. I truly hold a passion for teaching and I hope to become a professor and scientist after my Ph.D.I began tutoring during my freshman year of high school and instantly fell in love. My self-made hodge-podge tutoring business grew exponentially through the end of high school, where I earned an Advanced Regents Diploma with Mastery in Science and Mathematics in 2018. I also graduated on the Principal's List, as an AP Scholar with Distinction, and with an AP Capstone Diploma. I was the highest ranked female student in my high school class. Because of my education, I have a strong and advanced background in many STEM subjects like Biology, Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematics! My philosophy is rooted in love and acceptance. The enjoyment and happiness of my students is my priority. I tend to regularly integrate my students into all parts of the virtual sessions and truly pay attention to their aspirations.
Hello, my name is Yosef and I would be happy to serve as a math tutor. I place strong emphasis on a good balance between knowledge of mathematical content and proficiency in problem-solving, reasoning, and conveying mathematical ideas in writing. There are times when a student needs to be informed of a solution, times when he or she also needs to hear the explanation of why the solution works, and times when he or she should be guided to finding the solution on his or her own. It is important for the tutor to recognize which approach is appropriate. Frequently, when students struggle, it is because they do not understand the notation or terminology in use. In such cases, it is important to reassure the student, reminding him or her that he or she is only struggling with understanding a single word, not the entire mathematical concept. As a rule, people perform better and are better motivated when they have self-confidence, not when the task ahead seems frighteningly daunting. It is also important to recognize that different students learn best through different means. As an example, some students are visual learners and can understand the material best through pictures and gestures. Other students learn best through hearing the procedures vocalized, while still others learn best through writing out the steps of the solution procedure. I know to adapt my teaching style to the individual student. with these considerations in mind, I promise to provide the best assistance that I can, taking your individual needs into consideration.
I recently graduated with a degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have accomplished many things while at college, such as programming a robot to drive itself around a building, and constructing a pump for an experiment in detecting dark matter. I also worked outside of school in multiple technology-driven jobs, like a summer camp where I taught more than 30 students computer science from the ground up, and an Internship where I helped design some of the most powerful fans ever created. In my downtime, I enjoy reading fiction and working on interesting problems in computer science and engineering, in addition to other things like playing video games and the using the Internet. All of the skills I have gained through these experiences will be put to use giving you the best tutoring experience possible!
Physics major at RPI -- I have been a TA for Physics 1 and Physics 2. I can definitely help you with freshmen or high school level physics.
For my entire life, I've had a passion for mathematics. My earliest memory of using mathematics was at the age of three, I used math in order to tell time on my analog watch. I was so proficient at telling time that my preschool teacher would have to take my watch away because I would time her when she said, "We'll move on in a few minutes." As my mathematics education advanced through the years, math became less of a study of algorithms and how to compute, and more of a study of elegance. In Calculus, we learn the sophistication of the exponential function and how its value at a point is also its slope, and how we can use this to our advantage in differential equations. My lifelong love of mathematics, as well as many students' dismal outlook on mathematics, in conjunction with the gracefulness of mathematics that I am so fortunate to have been taught, pushes me to teach mathematics to young men and women, so that they can at least get a taste of the elegance of mathematics.
The smartest thing Albert Einstein ever said, with all due respect to his many accomplishments, is, "If you can' explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough." That phrase has served as the model of my education and instruction. If I know it, I can teach it. Luckily, I have had the opportunity to learn a great many things quite well enough.I have been tutoring peers and pupils in excess of 10 years. Teaching others is an activity I have naturally found to be rewarding, challenging and a lifelong pursuit. I have been helping others starting with my older brother's math homework in seventh grade, to getting friends through the AP Physics test, and finally, to this day, helping my mom with fractions while she bakes.In more recent years, I have been thoroughly engaged with tutoring during my college career. I have served as a tutor for a number of courses and subjects, both privately and in groups. I was a member of the Math Mentor program, instructing and testing multiple classes on fundamental mathematical skills. I have served as a Teacher's and Lab Assistant for several physics courses, both introductory and high level. In addition, I spent a year as a live-in Learning Assistant in a Freshman Residence Hall teaching study skills, time management, and other learning techniques.When it comes down to it, if it has to do with math, science or computers, I can help you learn it in your own way and in your own time.
In terms of credentials, I have a Bachelors of Science in Biomedical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI). My main area of academic focus was in biomaterials, which includes (but is not limited to) the study of cell biology, design and use of biological implants, and the design and delivery of drugs. I also pursued some undergraduate research in the area of Biocomputation, which involved utilizing algorithms to simulate biological processes. I also worked as a laboratory teaching assistant for Physics II for two years which involved working with a laboratory section of over 40 undergraduate students of various majors as well as helping to staff designated tutoring sessions for the course material, and briefly as a one-on-one Biomechanics tutor for a few months. I also participated in a few outreach programs (with RPI's Biomedical Engineering Graduate Council) which aimed to get young children involved and interested in science. I also studied the fundamentals of computer programming and data structures during my senior year of university, and have had an interest in programming ever since.Outside of academics, I've been playing the bass guitar since I was 15, with two years of receiving formal instruction. I love playing Squash as well as Soccer (though not as well as the former, plus RIP USMNT but at least Poland qualified), and I also enjoy jogging as well. I also like to both read and write sci-fi, fantasy, and non-fiction currently. My favorite movie is Blade Runner, and no, I have not seen the sequel yet.In terms of my own philosophy on education and my potential role in it, I believe that at the bare minimum, a high school diploma is a key requirement for one to be able have success in the adult world. I believe that I have the potential (through the knowledge I have obtained and my ability to problem solve) to help students in need work towards achieving that end goal, and more should they desire. So, that's why I'm here.
Hello! I am a second-year BS/MD student at RPI and Albany Medical College, majoring in Biology. My interest in tutoring began in high school, where I helped classmates in math and chemistry. I also founded a chemistry club for middle school girls to spark early interest in science and prepare them for academic competitions. I am currently a TA for Organic Chemistry at RPI. I tutor AP Chemistry, Organic Chemistry, AP Biology, and SAT Math. Chemistry is my favorite subject to teach, and I was in the top 150 students in the US National Chemistry Olympiad and won the National Science Bowl twice. My tutoring style is flexible and student-focused. I adapt each session to the individual's learning style, combining my own teaching materials with any resources the student prefers. I emphasize building a strong understanding of core concepts first, followed by practice problems and application of test prep strategies to reinforce knowledge and speed.
Hi! I'm Georgie, I'm 24, and I'm a recent college graduate from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I have my professional Bachelors of Architecture and am employed full time in Philadelphia, PA. In my (little) spare time, I enjoy reading, playing my guitar, biking, and playing volleyball. I love hiking and my little Jack Russell, Stu!
My name is Kulsum. I am a senior currently studying Biomedical Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Physics BioChem from Siena College. I aspire to become a medical care professional and work in disadvantaged and underserved communities. I believe that if an individual is ready to put in hard work and determination nothing can stop them from achieving their goals. As a tutor I aspire to motivate my students to see a difficult concept or problem not as an obstacle but as a goal that can be conquered. I strive to not only help my students understand material but to also build their self-esteem and self-confidence.
As a dedicated and enthusiastic educator, I bring a unique blend of academic excellence, teaching experience, and personalized mentorship to my role as a tutor. With a strong foundation in standardized test preparation, academic subjects, and soft skills like communication and empathy, I am committed to empowering students to achieve their full potential.

I specialize in guiding students through the Evidence-Based Reading and Writing section by teaching critical reading strategies, grammar rules, and effective essay writing techniques. My approach focuses on building confidence and fostering a deep understanding of the material rather than rote memorization, ensuring long-term success. Beyond standardized tests, I have experience teaching and mentoring students in diverse subjects such as psychology, reading, and writing. My academic journey includes rigorous coursework at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and the University of Pennsylvania, equipping me with a breadth of knowledge that I enthusiastically share with my students. As a tutor, I prioritize creating a supportive and engaging learning environment tailored to each student's unique needs and goals. I strive to make complex topics approachable, drawing on real-world examples and interactive techniques to ensure concepts resonate. My ultimate goal is to inspire confidence and a love of learning in every student I work with. I am excited to bring my passion for teaching, proven strategies, and dedication to academic success to every tutoring session, helping students achieve their goals and unlock their full potential.
I am a student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute working towards a degree in Business Analytics with a minor in Computer Science. I first started tutoring when I was in high school and started a robotics club that taught computer programming and problem solving skills to elementary and middle school students. I tutor in any math, science, and computer science fields. I am also open to tutoring for students taking the ACT or SAT.
Having tutoring for over several years now, I have gained an immense amount of teaching experiences working with students from junior high school, high school, and college both undergrad and a few graduate. I know what it feels like when someone is having difficulty in a particular subject, they often get frustrated, angry, exhausted, and stressed after working on problem sets in physics and/or mathematics for an excessive amount of time and still cannot find a reasonable solution to solve the problem. There are also times when students are unable to start. My job as a tutor is to ensure that they can fully overcome these obstacles and solve the problems with ease in a coherent and thorough manner without any difficulty. The way I go about eliminating these obstacles and difficulties that each student is facing, is by creating multiple teaching strategies. Some of my strategies involved the making of a new lesson plan detailing important concepts and terms covered in class, supplemented with examples and textbook materials. Other strategies involved the use of a step by step procedure that will help to break down concepts into simpler terms and definition until the students are able to gain an insight on how to solve the problem.To help the students engaged into the problems being discussed, I often choose real life examples and applications to demonstrate how problems of these types can be used to solve real life situations.As a graduate with a BS dual degree in electrical engineering and mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, I've leveraged the skills taught to me to developed software for hardware platforms in control systems, flight controls. and electric motor machinery. Also, the skills taught to me has led me to designed hardware for sustainable energy subsystems. These subsystems are often successful because I'm able to create various plans and step by step procedure similar to the ones I used for my students, before starting the developmental phase. My interest are in Flight Controls and Applied Mathematics and I look forward in pursuing higher education in Aerospace/Aeronautical Engineering in the next few years to come. I'm looking forward to working with as many students as possible and assist them with the best possible teaching strategy, so they can be the next or future generation of Doctors. Lawyers, Engineer, Scientist or Mathematician.
I am a current sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where I am majoring in Biology as part of the 7 Year Accelerated Medical Program. I am also minoring in Healthcare Economics and Policy. My favorite subjects in school are Chemistry, Biology, and Math, but I also enjoy the process of writing and editing thought provoking essays. During high school, I spent time tutoring for the National Honor Society. My approach to tutoring is to teach the concepts in a simplistic manner and reinforcing the concepts while adding difficulty through effective practice problems. In my free time, I have recently found myself reading, working out, drawing, and spending time with my siblings.
I'm easy going, I get along with most people I meet and I enjoy helping others out. I feel that knowing a subject and knowing how to teach said subject can be quite different. Being able to relate to different types of people and understanding different learning styles is extremely important and listening for comprehension, as a teacher/tutor, is a necessary skill that I don't see enough of. Knowing how crucial it is, I try my best to really listen and understand the learners point of view in order to make the most out of any teaching opportunity.
Hi!I'm a graduate of Norwalk Community College in CT and am currently attending RPI.I achieved an Associates degree in Engineering Science from NCC and am now pursuing a Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering at RPI.I was a tutor for a year and a half at NCC and the subjects I tutored were Math (low to high level), Physics, and a bit of Chemistry.I would definitely say my favorite subject to tutor is math. No matter what an individuals major everybody has to go through some level of it. So as a tutor I've been exposed to a multitude of people who I've been able to teach and learn from.When I tutor I prefer to let the students "teach" themselves. I am more than willing to help along the way but my goal is to see my students continually progress until they are self sufficient.Outside of tutoring I'm at the gym or hanging out with some friends.There's definitely more to that, so come and find out more in a session or two!
I don't think there is such thing as a "smart" person. Anyone can learn anything through hard work and persistence.Network Specialist at Connecticut On-line Computer Center. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute B.S. Computer and Systems Engineer, Class of 2016.
Hi - I'm Peter. I've always had a preference for math and science, which explains my undergrad choice in engineering. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. I received my MBA (Industrial Management) from the Wharton Graduate Division at U. of Pa. My primary work experience prior to teaching was in business planning and finance (more math). I started teaching because I enjoyed helping students at Baruch College prep for graduate school entrance exams (GMAT, LSAT, GRE). Later on, I aided community college students to break through their difficulties in basic math, algebra, quantitative literacy and statistics/probability (remedial math courses). Many of these students were the first in their families to attend college. I've been teaching math for 25+ years, both in a classroom setting and, more recently, on-line. I prefer to use a whiteboard and other visuals to present the problems and explain the methodology and steps that lead to the solution. If you are my student I would encourage you to first think through the problem and work it through on your own whenever possible, as it helps to foster self-confidence. Then I can step in and assist where I can to guide you to the correct solution. I like to put myself in my student's place in order to understand what hurdle(s) they need to overcome to solve the math question. I can explain approaches to the solution in several ways until it makes sense to you. I am available pretty much during the week or on weekends from late morning until early evenings and can make exceptions when necessary. I would be happy to hold an initial exploratory session at no charge just so we can get to know each other and agree on what we can accomplish together.
I have a BS from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Interdisciplinary Science and an MS from Marist College in Information Systems, both in New York. I also have a Six Sigma Green Belt and am a Microsoft Certified Professional.In addition to my work in IT I have taught at both the high school and college level. I've taught and tutored several levels of math and computer science.My mother was a teacher and so the importance of a good education was imprinted upon me at an early age. I believe that the role of a teacher or tutor is to help guide the student to discover the answers for themselves. It's not the easiest path but it's the best.Currently between IT assignments, I enjoy trivia games, movies, TV animation (South Park, Simpsons) and spending time with my new girlfriend.
I'm a sophomore at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying chemical engineering with a minor in sustainability studies.Outside of school, I perform research at RPI. As part of my research, I perform experiments with vegetable dyes native to Ghana to discover an alternative to synthetic dyes causing water pollution.I am also an active member of Chemistry Society in which I network, organize and volunteer at club events, and perform chemistry demonstrations and presentations as outreach to encourage younger students to become more involved in STEM.I am my class' RPI Class of 2020 Representative. This means that I collaborate as part of the class council to plan class events and fundraisers.I also am a member of Resident Student Association where I lead groups as event chair organizing events and communicates as the liaison for the Learning Assistants and Resident Assistants of the hall.I am active in my school's Outing Club and am organizing and running the welcome day hike for the incoming freshman.
I've worked was a volunteer docent at the American Museum of Natural History while I was in high school, teaching visitors and students about the various dioramas on view and giving demonstrations of phenomena like buoyancy. More recently I had the opportunity to work as a student caller at the Renssealaer Annual Fund, where I got to engage in alumni relations and answer the questions of parents of current students. Although I'd never worked in a sales position before that, my experience there helped me to learn how to talk with people and find out how they work and what interests them.At Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (my alma mater as of May 2015, also known as RPI), I enjoyed having the chance to work with my friends and colleagues and help them with their school work. More than the thrill of problem solving was the satisfaction I got when I helped them understand a problem and work through it themselves. At RPI I studied mathematics although I also had an interest in physics and computer science. As a tutor I look forward to helping you better understand math! The subjects I'm looking to teach include calculus, multivariate calculus, and differential equations, although I can also teach algebra for those who need it.Every student is different and to help them learn it's important to listen to them and decide on how to teach them, either with theory, applied problems, or some other method. This was something I learnt while I was responsible for leading practice sessions for one of my school's martial arts club.In my spare time I am learning how to be a developer and data scientist so I might eventually achieve my goal of one of those careers. I also really enjoy to read, run, and am currently learning how to play the piano, something I have always wanted to do since I was a kid. Teaching myself how to do these things has helped me better appreciate how constructive guidance from a tutor can be.
I am a very motivated student who is willing to assist in your learning. My knowledge ranges throughout the STEM curriculum. Topics that I am very interested in are mainly biology-related subjects.
Be a lifelong learner
I am currently an undergraduate student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute studying Physics. Previous teaching experience includes mentoring incoming freshman at the school mentioned above with introductory level college physics. From my experience, the best way to succeed academically in physics is to learn the problems you expect to see on tests and assessments. The way this is done is by practice and understanding the physics enough as to not get tricked by tricky questions.
Learning a new subject can be confusing, and the manner in which the information is delivered is as important as what is being said. Making seemingly complicated problems simple is what makes me a proficient tutor. I would love to be given the opportunity to prove it to you. I can tutor almost any Math subject but my favorite discipline to tutor is Physics. I am very enthusiastic about learning HOW things work. I graduated from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 2010 and obtained a Dual Major in Physics and Applied Mathematics. Additionally, I have been tutoring since the age of fourteen and have tutored for the US Navy! Outside my professional interests, I enjoy cycling, swimming, watching football, and basketball.
I think it's possible for anyone to understand a subject if they are shown enough patience and grace. From personal experience, I know what it can feel like to not understand a subject as quickly as others, and feeling like I couldn't do it. I want to help kids who may feel that way right now too. I know they most definitely have the capability of understanding, they just need someone who can take the time to explain it to them with no judgement involved. You should feel empowered after you get something right, there should be a boost of confidence. I hope to instill and nurture the confidence of kids one math problem at a time. My learning style includes breaking down more complex problems with smaller examples. This is to make sure that students fully understand the context of what's going on. Verifying the fundamentals of a problem are fully understood is key to having a complete understanding of current school work. I have history teach K-11 working at Mathnasium as a Math Instructor. I have had multiple kids, with all different personalities, at the same table excited to learn. I look forward to meeting future students!
I hope to help students convey their messages or goals concisely and straightforwardly through essay editing and support. With my extensive background in both Math and English tutoring from K through 12th grade, as well as a specialized focus on college admissions support and application development (including standardized testing support), I am confident that students will be able to greatly improve their literacy and writing with some tips and new skills.
Hi I'm Ali and I'm majoring in Engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute! I tutor in Mathematics (Algebra I and II, AP Calculus, Pre-/Calculus, ACT/SAT Math...) I can speak three languages fluently: Arabic, English, and French.
Hi I'm Tejus!I am an incoming PhD candidate and I graduated cum laude with a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science while also being on the Pre-med track at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. My goal is to help students grasp concepts they might struggle with particularly within the fields of Math and Science. I use lesson plans in which I usually introduce the topic in a unique way to target the specific student. After which I proceed to not only go through step-by-step examples, but also provide plenty of practice problems for the student to improve their abilities on their own.I have roughly 4+ years of tutoring experience. During college I tutored both middle and high school students in the Troy Public School System. Before then, I also tutored students in Geometry and introductory level Biology as a senior in highschool. Along with that, as a part of my volunteer organization, I also tutored several students in lower income areas of the greater Albany region. These sessions ranged from traditional 1-on-1 meetings to classroom style discussions. My focus is primarily on ACT, SAT, and GRE preparation while also mentoring younger students in Biology, Geometry, and Algebra.When meeting a student for the first time, my objective is to gain an understanding of their abilities. Based on the results of their baseline assessment, I like to craft individualized plans to help them improve their weak spots and become better test takers. I like to work on practice problems with students to make sure they are understanding the appropriate thought process for each type of problem. From there I try to reinforce the material by giving them problems to work on at home. Finally periodic assessments will be provided in order to measure the progress that is being made.Feel free to contact me with any additional questions or to schedule a lesson!Thank you!
I am a senior chemical engineering major at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. I love to help people improve their skills in STEM fields and to help them apply what they learn.

The change I see in my students from those who struggle to those who succeed is rewarding both personally and professionally.
I have been a volunteer tutor and tennis and life skills instructor for the past 10 years. I have worked youth and adult of all ages and have achieved success with every age group I have worked with. I love sharing my knowledge with people in a fun and engaging way. I love explaining topics through a variety of interactive and interesting methods. My favorite thing about tutoring is helping people understand why what they are learning is important. Once you know why you learn something you are much more inclined to focus and challenge yourself with it. I believe education is vital in the world today but more importantly having a desire and wanting to learn is significantly more important. I make it my goal to encourage students to become independent learners.
