I am an undergraduate student at Skidmore College class of 2024. I am a double major in Sociology and Social Work. From an early age in my life, I have had a passion for teaching and always believed in the transformative power of education and knowledge. While I have experience tutoring a range of subjects I have always had a deep connection and interest in social sciences. In my experience tutoring, I have learned that meeting the needs of those seeking to learn and believing in their potential to grow is essential in fueling students and providing them with the tools for critical thinking and learning. I have learned that although I am an educator, I will always learn and grow from those around me.

I am a recent graduate of Skidmore College where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Sociology. I also studied Spanish and Intergroup Relations. I am very passionate about the Spanish language and became fluent in Spanish after spending six months in Buenos Aires, Argentina and six weeks in Atenas, Costa Rica. I have informally tutored both native Spanish-speakers and native English-speakers in English and Spanish. I love to share my passion for Spanish and language with others and help students excel in their practice of the Spanish language. I have also helped students with college essays and grant proposals for funded summer internships.I understand how difficult learning a language can be and know from personal experience that it takes a lot of effort and dedication from both the student and the teacher. As a tutor, I commit to putting in the effort to prepare fun, engaging activities and lessons that make it easier to dedicate one's self to language acquisition. Additionally, I will meet the student where he/she is in his/her learning and tailor lesson plans and tutoring sessions to the personal interests, needs and goals of the student.I strongly believe that we are all each other's teachers in understanding humanity, and I look forward to learning about different perspectives and experiences from students. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, yoga, natural healing, meeting new people, and trying new things!

I am a fourth year medical student at Case Western Reserve University and will be starting my surgical training in 2020 at NYU. I graduated from Skidmore College in 2014 with a BA in Biology and a Music Minor (violin). I tutored extensively from 2014-2016 while working in Boston, MA as a research coordinator and I am comfortable teaching MCAT and STEP 1 board exam material. I believe that every student has the potential to achieve their goals and I look forward to making this process rewarding, exciting and fun!

Art history has always been my passion, but I also strongly believe in the importance of a diverse, liberal arts education, which I received at my undergrad institution, Skidmore College. At Skidmore I earned my bachelor's degree in art history, where I also studied Classics, anthropology, psychology, history, English, and government, and spent one glorious semester studying abroad in Paris. At Skidmore I gained tutoring experience working as a peer-mentor, art history tutor, note-taker, and providing SAT prep and general homework help, as well as teaching English while studying in Paris. After Skidmore I moved to London where I earned my Master of Arts in art history at the Courtauld Institute of Art. Currently I am pursuing a doctoral degree at Boston University, with a focus on Renaissance art. Primarily I tutor subjects in the humanities, particularly history, English and, naturally, art history, but I also enjoy working with elementary and middle school students in all subjects. I love tutoring art history and introducing students to a discipline that they may not be as familiar with, and also have a passion for American and European history. For me, making a real connection with a student is a crucial part of tutoring. I am incredibly personable, relaxed, and patient and am able to set students at ease. In addition to a having a passion for travel, I love to read, enjoy scrapbooking, rock-climbing, and baking.

I am currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Physics at Skidmore College and hope to continue on to earn a PhD in Astrophysics. While I'm most passionate about math and science, I also care deeply about providing emotional support. My friends often come to me not only for help with math but also for encouragement and advice. I believe education is incredibly important, but I also understand the academic and mental challenges that come with it. As a tutor, I want to help students approach these challenges mindfully and support both their academic and personal growth. In my spare time, I enjoy learning new things, playing volleyball, and doing crossword puzzles and word searches.

The first time I "traveled abroad" was through the enthusiasm and exposure to France from my 6th grade teacher. He showed us a film of Paris and I imagined going there and speaking French. Lessons were fun and easy. Now I have a Bachelor of Arts from Skidmore College in French and Modern Languages. For more than 20 years I have taught French, English and History in after-school programs, on tour coaches for educational student tours, and as a tutor. I have lived and worked in France teaching sports and music to French children in Burgundy and Dordogne regions. I am a certified high school teacher in both French and English from Penn State. My philosophy is to teach in a manner that is fun and accessible to all. Education and knowledge is light that opens up new worlds and opportunities.

As an academically inclined, college educated individual with a host of teaching experience, I would make an ideal tutor in history, political science, and english. I can make a real difference boosting GPAs or standardized test scores!In the summer after my sophomore year at Skidmore College, I was a professional tutor at Lindamood Bell, an individualized national tutoring service aimed at elementary and middle school students. Over my time at Lindamood, I worked with a range of kids, ages 6-15, to improve reading, comprehension and math. At Skidmore, where I double majored in History and Political Science, I was a Peer Mentor, or Teacher's Assistant, for a freshman class on British Naval history. In addition to grading papers, hosting various programs on academic life on campus, and generally being a resource for the first year students, I was given the opportunity to develop a curriculum and teach a class on the historical accounts of Captain James Cook's death on Valentines Day in Hawaii in 1779. Through these experience, I gained all the skills necessary to tutor students of varying levels and on a broad range of subjects.Having graduated college in 2015, I spent the last two years straddling the academic and policy communities working at a think tank called the Atlantic Council in Washington DC. Although I was not tutoring students at the time, I was engaged in the politics of international relations, and enmeshed in the policy and academic literature that serve to strengthen my ability as a tutor and teacher.

I am currently in my 9th year as a math teacher in New York City. I earned my B.A. in Mathematics from Skidmore College and M.A. in Secondary Mathematics Education from City College. I am a Master teacher with Math for America, and I write Common Core Algebra curriculum. At my current school, my work in the classroom has resulted in pass rates on the Common Core Algebra Regents improving from 32% to 83%. I love what I do, and my goal is to always create relationships with students that allow them to thrive. Connecting the work to student interests, allowing for discussion, incorporating humor, and addressing text anxiety, are among the few strategies that have resulted in my students' academic achievement. I'm all about building students' confidence with the subject and creating an environment where they feel comfortable making and learning from mistakes. I am excited to share my knowledge and love of math with students outside of my classroom. Let's work!

Hi! My name is Sara. I'm a college graduate who Majored in Physics with a minor in English. I have a very strong background in math from the elementary to college level as well as in High School and College physics. Additionally, I've been studying English writing and Literature for almost 8 years now, so whether you need help starting an essay or just want it proofread, I can confidently say I can help.

I graduated in Spring 2012 from Skidmore College with honors in Molecular Biology and Genetics. I served as team captain and goaltender for the varsity ice hockey team and was a pre-medical student. Currently, I work as a research scientist at The Mount Sinai Hospital studying pediatric immunology and biochemistry. I will be conducting research until I begin medical school in Fall 2013.I have over four years of tutoring experience including a teacher's assistant at Skidmore, working with local high school student,s and coordinating with my ice hockey team to complete several community service projects in our area.My experiences as a tutor, team leader, published researcher, and NCAA athlete have taught me to form strong bonds with those I work with. I hope to share my passion for science and inspire others as I tutor. I plan to continue tutoring in the area for the next year while continuing research and attending medical school.

As a dedicated public high school chemistry teacher, I bring years of hands-on experience helping students master challenging concepts and build confidence in science. I work daily with students of all levels, so I'm deeply familiar with the current high school chemistry curriculum, including Honors and AP content. My goal is to make chemistry meaningful and approachable by connecting it to real-world applications from the food we eat to the technology we use every day. Students describe my teaching style as patient, clear, and encouraging. I believe that every learner can succeed with the right strategies and support. Whether a student needs help preparing for an exam, strengthening foundational skills, or reigniting their excitement for science, I create personalized lessons that meet their needs. I love teaching because it allows me to share my enthusiasm for chemistry and inspire curiosity about the world around us. If you're looking for a tutor who will bring energy, expertise, and practical study tips to every session, I'd be excited to help you reach your goals!

Having grown up in NJ and gone to high school at The Collegiate School in NYC, I'm well acquainted with many of the schools in the area. I attended Skidmore College as an undergraduate, where I studied the intersections of philosophy, government, religion, and history. Skidmore was also where I began to gain formal experience working with young students, specifically by working as a Classroom Assistant. After graduating from Skidmore with honors, I began to work on my MA at The New School for Social Research, where I am focusing on Ancient, Modern, and Contemporary political, legal, and moral philosophy. While at graduate school I have begun to tutor a number of students, many of whom I have now been working with for over a year. My greatest assets as a tutor lie in my mastery of the english language, skills in logic and conceptual organization, and versatile ability to explain to students complex ideas with which they find themselves frustrated and struggling. My goal is to restore students to a thoroughly self-sufficient status in their academic endeavors, an aim which pursue by focusing on the identification of students' advantages and disadvantages, and attempting to develop a unique plan for each student as to how we might capitalize on their strengths so as to neutralize their difficulties. I can be flexible about hours, and would be happy to receive email inquiries from any interested parents or students.

My name is Jake Turner. I am a 5 year veteran math and science teacher with lots of experience also helping student's one on one. I am passionate about learning and the natural sciences. I am fascinated with outer space and love talking about rockets and other aspects and activities conducted by space programs. I am here to help student's through tough academic times and get them excited again about learning and what they can do with their knowledge!

I work hard to get to know each individual student, their needs, and the ways in which they learn best. I work creatively to make individual learning plans. At the center of my work is empowerment and confidence boosting, helping all students realize that they are bright in their own ways.I received my B.A. from Skidmore College, with a double major in Political Science and Spanish, and a double minor in Intergroup Relations and Honors Forum. I have been teaching for over 8 years, and love helping students see themselves as bright, creative, and intelligent individuals that deserve specialized attention.In my free time I love riding horses, playing with my dog, dancing, and traveling. I love to experience different cultures and meet people from all different backgrounds.

I recently graduated from Skidmore College with a Bachelor of Science. There, I studied theater and took classes in literature, history, religion, neuroscience, and more. I assistant taught in college and often helped my friends with essay writing and studying. Since graduating, I’ve tutored my younger sister for many of her high school classes. I now tutor a wide range of subjects, including literature, history, writing, Spanish, and Algebra. I am particularly passionate about preparations for standardized testing, including the SATs and AP exams, and helping students through the college application process. My hope is that the support I provide to struggling students will empower them to expand their academic curiosity and appreciate learning. In my free time, I enjoy reading, going to the theater, and baking, preferably something with cinnamon.

I first discovered tutoring in college. At first it was just to make some extra money but then I realized there are many benefits to being a tutor.In addition to getting paid to teach, I am constantly learning myself. This happens as I am preparing for tutoring sessions as well as when I am explaining concepts to those who I am teaching.Another aspect of tutoring that I find fulfilling is when is when my students have an "aha! moment." The sudden solidification of ones understanding of a concept is a phenomenon that I enjoy experience myself as well as seeing in others.In addition to tutoring I love playing snowboarding, playing basketball, and hiking.

Hi! I'm here to help your student understand content and gain confidence in their abilities. I'm an ex-classroom teacher, and tutor for 5+ years, working with students in grades 3-12. Tutor subjects: Reading, Writing/Grammar, Math, and Science. I've had the joy of teaching hundreds of students, and completing over 1000 hours of individual and group tutoring. I'm here to accomodate students with different learning needs and am experienced tutoring students with IEPs.

As a tutoring expert in Spanish, English, music, and test prep, my teaching journey spans the majority of my life. I worked as a junior golf camp instructor for eight summers during high school and college. During the summer before my junior year of college, I served as a peer mentor to high school students in the Skidmore Pre-College Program.In addition to my skills as a mentor, I was able to hone my tutoring skills by serving as a music and Spanish tutor throughout my studies. During my senior year, I wrote an 80-page thesis titled "Jazz Flamenco: How Political and Cultural Appropriation Created a New Musical Genre," which allowed me to meld my interests in Spanish, music, and writing.While my academic work and mentoring roles were fulfilling, my passion for language and education was truly able to shine through during my senior year, when I designed an independent study course titled "Teaching Methods for Undergraduate Spanish." For this course, I created and implemented lesson plans for an intermediate-level Spanish class. In collaboration with a Skidmore professor, I outlined lesson plans, received direct feedback, and put these plans to practice in the classroom.I have served as a volunteer Freshman Advisor at Harvard for incoming first-year students. I completed an online MicroMasters program through the University of Michigan called "Leading Educational Innovation and Improvement." I am currently pursuing a MS in Higher Education Administration and Policy at Northwestern University School of Education and Social Policy.

My name is Nina, I'm a recent college graduate with a Bachelor's in English and a passion for editing. Having just been a student, I'm still very familiar with the ins and outs of essay writing, which makes me uniquely equipped to help you meet your academic goals. Professionally, I've worked with a variety of mediums as both a writer and an editor, such as blog articles, ad copy, screenplays and manuscripts. As such, you can trust that no matter the subject, style, or rubric, I can always adapt my tutoring style to fit your needs. I believe that everybody has the tools in their head to become a great writer, it's only a matter of figuring out how to use them. That's why I focus on helping students identify and use these tools to gain not only academic success, but long term writing improvement. Whether it's by solidifying their grasp of grammar, asking questions to challenge their argument, or talking through their goals, I am always ready to meet my students wherever they are.

I have tutored many of the young children I've cared for over the years, whether helping them learn to read, or editing their first papers. I've helped high-school students write college papers and tutored them in Latin. Meanwhile, I continually edit my friend's creative writing endeavors.Though I majored in English in college, I was also involved in the Classics and American Studies departments. I even took a Latin course at Oxford while studying abroad. Though I've never tutored anyone in History, its one of my passions. Whether Ancient, European, or US History, I'm always happy to help anyone with their history courses. I also minored in Theater, and adore teaching people to speak confidently in public or in the work place.I strive to teach my students to be able to teach themselves. I was raised in a home that fostered academic excellence and I hope to do the same for my students. While I push my pupils to do their best, I am endlessly patient and caring, continually finding new ways to teach a student. Being an unconventional learner, I am the first to turn to unconventional methods to help a student nail down a concept. I love watching children and adolescents grown and change and adore helping them to highlight their strong points while honing their weaknesses.My father was a high school English Teacher and encouraged me to evaluate my teachers from a young age. This gave me a natural talent for teaching, which I've developed further and continue to develop.

After graduating from Skidmore College, I moved to Milan, Italy and taught English to high school and university students. I also gave private lessons to students ages 7-31. While in college, I tutored in Italian, French and economics. I enjoy a challenge but think a fun and cheerful environment is the best way to learn.

I am a graduate of Skidmore College. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree, magna cum laude, in English with a minor in Art History. I also received departmental honors for my capstone paper. In January, I will begin my Master of Arts in Public Relations at Johns Hopkins University. I mostly tutor in the humanities and social sciences, and I am very passionate about the value of these subjects. I am also a qualified ESL teacher, and I would like to work with students who are looking to improve their English language skills! In my free time, I love to travel, read, attend theater performances, go on hikes, and play with my two dogs.

I am currently a junior at Skidmore College, studying political science. I have spent the last several months tutoring in my town to help students who are struggling with remote learning. My specialties are math, political science, and writing (I love editing papers!), but I can help in a variety of other subjects. I am a firm believer that education should be a positive experience so that students become lifelong learners. In my free time, I love doing martial arts and drawing!

I have a B.A. in English from Skidmore College and am currently pursuing an M.A. in History from Hunter College. I also have experience teaching guitar as a private guitar instructor and have tutored students in ELA, Social Studies and math in a library setting.I have learned from working with kids that every student is unique and special in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student. I also believe a good tutor should try to make learning fun by piquing interest and by relieving any anxiety that often comes when students approach their work.My strengths are in ELA, History and Social Studies generally. I am also currently writing a graduate thesis, so I have a great interest in writing and can help with writing at all levels.I am a guitarist and can also teach guitar. Music is my favorite interest, and I also love to read and play tennis.

I graduated from Skidmore College in 2012 with a Bachelor's degree in History/Theater and a minor in Creative Writing. Growing up in Westchester County, New York I began tutoring elementary and middle school students at my local JCC in a multitude of subjects. Starting my junior year of college, I worked in the History Department as tutor, with a strong emphasis on helping students in American and European History. I am most passionate about tutoring students in History and English, including AP courses. I feel that I bring a creative and unique approach to my tutoring, and I actively work to help my students find a personal connection to a subject or topic they have previously struggled with. Every student has the capacity for improvement. In my spare time I like to read, write, watch movies, hike and play tennis.

I graduated from Skidmore College with a Neuroscience BA. I received my teaching degree in Biological Sciences as well as Students with Learning Disabilities. My most current degree is Masters in Teacher Leadership from Rider University.I have a variety of tutoring experience from Special Education to 7th grade science to High School Science to ACT prep as well as Study Skills. I tutor ACT prep, physical sciences, biological sciences, forensics and environmental science. I love teaching biology, but every science has an interesting aspect to it. I do believe everyone can enjoy science as long as you find what works from them also science puns are a must.Some of my interests are travel, cooking and spending as much time on the beach as possible.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry from Skidmore College. Since graduation, I have worked as a research technician in Boston and I will be starting medical school in the Fall. Over the years, I have tutored students in Ethiopia, Swaziland, and here in the United States. In college, I was selected to serve as a general chemistry peer tutor in one-on-one and group tutoring sessions. This experience reaffirmed my passion for teaching and mentorship. I am currently serving as an AmeriCorps literacy coach at one of the public schools in Boston. I decided to volunteer as a literacy coach after learning about the disproportionate impact COVID-19 has had on the educational attainment of disadvantaged children. My teaching experience has taught me the importance of establishing a caring relationship to build an environment that improves students' motivation and learning outcomes. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about Chemistry.In my spare time, I enjoy traveling, exploring new cuisines, and binge watching TV shows.

Passionate social justice advocate eager to serve as a mentor to the youth. Sociologist at heart. I am the rose that grew from the concrete.

I tutored at the Skidmore College Writing Center for two years, working collaboratively with a wide range of people and learning styles. I also took courses in tutoring, critical analysis of fiction and theory, and dramatic literature. My teaching philosophy is focused on a student's growth and increasing his or her ability to work independently. First I explain and discuss the information and strategies the student needs. Then I point out instances where the student can use the strategies (and guide the student through them if need be). Lastly, I back off a bit, allowing the student to use strategies on his or her own. In the Writing Center, this process has given students greater confidence as they internalize knowledge and become increasingly able to use it on their own. Since I also majored in Theater, I also enjoy stage acting, singing in a chorus, or even dancing!

I have been working with students for the past eight years. I love working one-on-one with students. My personal belief is that each student is unique and the way we all learn is unique. My goal is to find the best course of action to help your child with whatever academic difficulties they encounter, then address these problems to help your child succeed in the future. I have experience teaching English abroad in India during my time as a college student at Skidmore College as well as teaching elementary school children basic tools for reading and writing. My love of learning has translated well into a tutoring position and I cover a wide variety of subjects, such as American and European history, essay writing, grammar, standardized test prep, and AP test prep. I am a very active individual who enjoys cooking, jogging, hiking, and reading. I look forward to meeting you and your child and hope to lead him or her to academic success!

I hold an Associates Degree from Bard High School Early College, and I am currently working towards a Bachelor of Sciences degree in Education Studies and Mathematics at Skidmore College. I have previously worked with students aged 6 to 14 specializing in math. I love finding strategies to make math more accessible: particularly through use of modules, experiments, and applications.I spend my free time hiking, sewing, knitting, cooking, and building Lego castles with my three younger siblings.

I love to learn, and I love to teach; I hope we can soon learn from each other!I believe in the potential of Dr. Carol Dweck's "growth mindset," and strongly feel that any student can succeed at what they really want--if they have access to the right tools. My goal is to help students find those tools so they can use them effectively and independently in the future.My primary experience has been in reading, writing, various kinds of science, and the arts, but I am happy to research and help students with other subjects as well!

I am so excited to become a part of your educational journey! My bachelor's degree is in Environmental Science from Skidmore College and my master's degree is in City and Regional Planning from the Ohio State University. I am passionate about sharing my knowledge about these subjects to interested students. I would describe my teaching style as very interactive. I want our work together to be a dialogue, not a monologue. Feel free to ask me questions during our sessions because I love questions!

The relationship between our brains and senses has always intrigued me. Being a tri-lingual myself has pushed my interest in learning about language processes in the brain. During my undergraduate studies, I learned that those who cultivate multiple languages show greater activation in their left hemisphere, the seat of language production, than monolinguals.For this reason, I am particularly excited about passing my knowledge in French to students of all levels, helping them to discern the principles between their native and second languages. Personally, I studied in a French curriculum until the 9th grade before moving to the US. I also had the opportunity to study abroad where I studied French literature and Psychology. During that time, I was able to easily communicate with my host family and those that I met and even completed multiple assignments in the language. I hope that working with me will allow students to achieve the fluency that they strive for, thus increasing activity in their left hemisphere.

I am a Boston native and am happy to be back in the city after 4 years in Upstate NY for college and 1 year working in New York City. I am working full time as a Project Manager at a translation company in the Boston, and am really enjoying it so far! I graduated from Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY, in May 2015 with a BA in International Affairs and a BA with Honors in German, and a minor in Government. I worked as a tutor for all levels of German and for introductory levels of Government throughout my time at Skidmore, and I'm continuing to tutor outside of college because it's something that I love to do! I'm fascinated with the German language and culture, and I love being able to help others learn it with me. I started my fascination in the 7th grade (about 11 years ago!), and have been lucky enough to spend time in Germany to continue my studies- for three weeks in high school, and for 6 months in college. I also know German can be very frustrating to learn. I don't think I actually started enjoying my studies until college, when everything just seemed to click. As a tutor, my goal is to help students get to this moment, and beyond. My love for the German language has also fueled my interest in the English language and in writing. I enjoy helping students organize their thoughts and ideas, streamlining them into a concise and thoughtful statement. It???s a skill to write coherently and powerfully, and it???s something that does not come naturally to many people, so this is something I enjoy practicing with my students. Besides my passion for German and writing, I have always loved to swim and have swam competitively from fifth grade through my four years at college. I also love the outdoors and will take any opportunity to be in the sun or go hiking. If the weather isn't the best, which is often the case in the Northeast, I enjoy sewing, knitting, and other 'do-it-yourself' crafts.

I am a doctor of physical therapy with a passion for helping others learn. On this platform, I tutor student physical therapists who are preparing to take the National Physical Therapy Examination. I started tutoring as an undergraduate at Skidmore College, where I earned my BA in Biology in 2017. I later tutored extensively at Wayne State University, where I earned my DPT in 2023. I assisted students in classes such as Basic Examination and Evaluation, Human Anatomy, Surface Anatomy, and Management of Orthopedic Patients. I also tutored students in need of remediation for their year-end comprehensive exams, which mimic the NPTE. I believe anyone who is capable of getting into a DPT program is capable of learning the material. In my experience, most SPTs who are struggling have only failed to modify their study strategies appropriately. This is an entirely treatable problem. While of course I will teach the material as needed, my focus as a tutor is in helping you figure out how you learn best. This is a combination of class attendance, note taking, study techniques, and test taking strategies. I believe in active learning whenever possible and utilize evidence based strategies such as spaced repetition. I am interactive with my students; for example, rather than lecturing at you, you tell me whatever you know on the subject and I help guide you to anything you may have missed. We then use that material for clinical correlations and decision making that so often come up on the NPTE. We will come up with study materials to use later on, make and answer practice questions, and practice different test taking techniques. I foster a shame-free environment and welcome mistakes as part of the learning process.

I'm Grace, and I'm here to help you find your written voice. Years of experience with diverse populations and skill sets equip me to guide writers to their highest work. I have a BA from Skidmore College in Religious Studies and Psychology, minoring in English and Honors Forum. In that time, I had six semesters of creative workshopping experience and over 400 hours teaching academic writing in the Philip Boshoff writing center. I won the Denise Marcil prize for Fiction in 2022, received departmental honors for my English capstone (a fiction collection of short stories), and was selected to present my work in both fiction and nonfiction at the Honors Academic Festival on two separate panels. All educational backgrounds, neurological profiles, and experience levels are welcomed and celebrated. Everyone has the words. Let's get them on the page.
