Miriam
Experienced Tutor for all Sciences and Math
Hi! I'm Miriam. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Biology, with an Award for Scholarly Excellence and Achievement in Physics from the college. When I was in college and post-college, I was the official Sciences tutor in my school (for all Bio, Physics and Chemistry courses). A recurring occurrence I saw in the students I taught was that they were told those were ''weed out'' subjects that had a steep learning curve. The students did their best to retain and understand the material, but w... Read more
Michael
Experienced Tutor Ready to Help You Achieve Your Goals
I studied chemical engineering in college, but now my professional work is in mechanical engineering. I taught engineering thermodynamics as an adjunct professor at the university level for 3 years. After finding the size of lecture classes too big to make a meaningful impact, I decided to focus on teaching and tutoring in smaller group settings. I emphasize developing a real understanding of a topic rather than doing enough to just get by on your test. Students who learn to understand ra... Read more
Daniel
Experienced Tutor With A Wide Knowledge of Test Taking Strategies
I love tutoring because I love to learn and to communicate with others about what I learn. My first experience with tutoring come in high school. I was the valedictorian of my class so I would occasionally be asked by my peers for help with one thing or another.

Mostly I enjoyed the ecstatic, "I got it!" that comes after mastering a particularly difficult problem. Since I h... Read more

Art Historian, Critic & Curator
Overall, I have experience teaching and tutoring in a variety of settings, from one-on-one sessions to classroom lectures at private schools to college courses.

I had to spend a lot of time trying out different books and studying stra... Read more
Alexandra
Alex Spinney- brooklyn studio based Teaching Artist
As a Teaching Artist, I believe that art provides an outlet to learn about critical thinking, problem solving, and to address and respond to greater issues of the human condition. I believe that in learning about materials and processes, students of all ages learn how to approach an idea with a large variety of responses, taking into thought the association that images project and the history of expression. I have worked as a professional Artist for twelve years, five of which I have suppo... Read more
