Elizabeth
Teacher by Day, Tutor by Night
This is my fourth year teaching in Manhattan. Before that I taught at a private school in Connecticut and international schools in Shanghai. I am one of the founding teachers of a Manhattan public school. Our school is a welcoming place for students of all backgrounds including many English language learners—mainly children of foreign diplomats. I have written curriculum and taught pre-kindergarten through fourth grade. I have a Masters in Museum and Elementary Education from Bank Street ... Read more
Natalie
Experienced and passionate writing and speaking tutor
I have worked as a writing, reading, and speaking tutor, both independently and at my college's writing center, for the past five years. While working at the Mount Holyoke College writing center, I completed a semester-long course that not only taught tutoring methods, but also the pedagogical theories behind the methods. That course, and my subsequent three years of work at the writing center, has informed my current tutoring style. I am passionate about making students feel comfortable whi... Read more

Karen
Skilled NYU-Trained Reading and Writing Tutor
In graduate school the classes came alive for me when the teachers gave individual feedback and showed enthusiasm for what they were teaching. They welcomed asking questions. Students need to know how to master a task to make learning a rewarding experience. That's how I teach my students. I have my masters from Bank St. College and graduate credits from Columbia University and City College. I've specialized in teaching reading/writing in K-5 as well as early literacy skills in pre-K. ... Read more
Jake
SAT, ACT, ISEE/SSAT, GMAT, MUSIC THEORY +
I believe that true vocation stems from a unique perspective on real opportunity for change in the world. Life has continually exposed me to inequalities in the education system for both minorities and people with disabilities. The rigid nature of standardized education negatively affects students who don't succeed when exposed to conventional methods. I am committed to broadening the scope of academic measurement, and access to alternative education, to the end that full expression of one’s ... Read more

Work with a Great English Tutor
I have been tutoring for the past 8 years, with my pupils ranging from the age of 6 to the age of 22. During High School, I tutored elementary, middle school, and junior high school students, and during college I tutored high school students as well as college students. Specifically, I tutored students at the Writing Center, where I read over their papers and provided feedback and suggested revisions. I met with some students only once, and others continued to come to me with their papers, an... Read more

Before that, I founded and worked at technology startups. I graduated Cornell University with a degree in Materials Science and Engineering, where I did research on po... Read more

Art, science... no matter what, don't forget technique.
I am an architect by trade, but architects are supposed to always be influenced by everything. From nature to art to science to sports, I have learned that keeping an open mind (and sometimes thinking too much) lets me be inspired at any moment and constantly grow. At the same time, I do not fall victim to whimsy--I value a strong work ethic and technique. In other words, working on HOW you do something is just as important as the end result. Looking back, my favorite teachers were those who... Read more
