Thomas
Research Scientist, Illustrator & Tutor
I am a university professor and research scientist actively working in the field of Anthropology and specializing in the subfields of Physical/Biological Anthropology and Archaeology. More specifically I am a Bioarchaeologist and Zooarchaeologist with a tendency toward working as a Forensic Anthropologist. But don’t let the Anthropology part fool you. Although my doctorate (Ph.D., 1996, CUNY Grad. Center, NYC) looks to be of the social sciences, in reality I am more of a Physical or Hard Sci... Read more

Love of writing, reading and teaching!
I have a degree in Creative Writing from SUNY/Empire State College. I currently teach an advanced writing course to non-native speakers at a learning center in Soho. I also teach an advanced beginner's class at the YMCA in Brooklyn and volunteer at the Brooklyn Public Library teaching English. I love teaching, and the students are fantastic. An important aspect of learning is gaining confidence in yourself and being encouraged to take risks. I recently heard a talk about the fact that stud... Read more

Ryan
MFA Master Teacher Tutor for Regents Chemistry
Hey Folks. The last couple of years have been quite a journey academically. With the start of this new year I understand the anxieties held by both parents and students around the thought that everyone "fell behind." It's my firm belief that we have to shift that mindset to focus on what we did learn, what we did achieve, and how we can build off of those positives to leverage our learning this year. I want to focus my tutoring this year on building both confidence and skills. I am a h... Read more

I'm great at analyzing what you do and don't understand!
I have been a math teacher and English teacher since 1995, focusing on math. I have tutored students individually throughout that time. I believe each person constructs meaning out of the world and individual discussion helps people make sense of what they see and experience. I decided to focus on teaching math because I have also struggled with math in the past and so understand what kinds of trouble other people might experience, and because it is so essential in our modern world to unde...
