Back to School for math & science after 7 years in Japan

- Voorheesville , New York ( 12186 )
- 25 miles
I worked in Japan as an English teacher for 7 years. I came back to complete the requirements for medical school and, after earning an A in each class, became a tutor of Biology, Chemistry, Calculus I & II, and Organic Chemistry for my fellow undergrads while earning my own degree in Biotechnology. I have been working in pharmaceutical and chemical production since, but have always continued to coach (motorcycling, fitness) and teach (even if it's just my 2 boys). In both, I enjoy the f...

One of my favorite things to do is to help people learn and grow to whatever level they find desirable. After Chess, Psychotherapy and Martial Arts are of keen interest. I taught chess at three Private schools, in Albany, Schenectady and Latham NY, and at my former Psychotherapy office. Every curriculum I work at is specialized to the individual, couple, or group's needs. Wherever you, your partner or child are in the continuum of development, I'd like to be there to help turn to the nex... Read more

Experienced SAT/ACT Prep and Foreign Languages Tutor
Hello! I am Robert. I recently graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Economics and Slavic Studies.

Skills such as analytical problem solving techniques, time management and public speaking are some of the most important traits required to be a successful professional these days and I know I have the pass...

Steven
Undergraduate Math Student with College Tutoring Experience
It happens to all of us. Sometimes we end up with that one math professor who we just can't learn from. We sit in class and take all the notes we can, but for some reason it just doesn't click. This is especially common for engineering and science students, who often need to learn dense subjects like Linear Algebra and Differential Equations to get their degrees. If you're in this situation, the best help you can get is from a fellow college student who has already been through it. My name... Read more
Aaron
Learn English from a Haiku Death Battle Champion
Among several of my previous insanities, was to begin academia in the humanities. I taught in Korea, then studied Science, now my left and my right brain have formed an alliance. My writing is found in quite a few places: newspaper clippings and internet spaces. I’ve taught overseas and outdoors by the beach, and I can craft fun presentations to teach. This included refining climate education, and helping kids learn at a nature-school station. Recently I’ve built some leadership s... Read more
David
Great with understanding students and helping them understand the work
I love helping people understand subject matter and walking through the learning process with them. I am also very patient and understanding. I struggled with school until tenth grade, but my passion for learning helped me score in the 99th percentile on SAT reading, learn Spanish and Swahili, and get a full academic ride to Siena College. I understand that everyone learns differently, and I believe caring and creative instruction can help anyone attain their learning goals. In my effort t... Read more
