Enthusiastic astronomy, physics, math tutor

I've always enjoyed one-on-one work with students, since this best allows me to pinpoint and address the student's areas of confusion. Every learner is different and I believe it's important for tutors to identify and adapt to the learning styles of their students. I aim to be flexible and creative; since we live in a physical world, I like to use familiar phenomena as examples to discuss physics and astronomy concepts. I have 13 years of experience teaching in both formal and informal e... Read more

My name is Tom. I was born into a baseball family. My father talked about stick ball, tried out for the Yankees and got signed to the farm system for the Saint Louis Cardinals. In his generation there was still no money to be made playing baseball so he went back to work delivering ice in NYC. Living through his eyes, baseball became a force in my youth. I was a very good player making 3 All Star teams. As a coach, working with kids for whom baseball was their only avenue of escape, we took ... Read more

I would love to be your tutor! I am very qualified to do so; I am very in love with what I do. I currently hold a B.A. in English from Mercy College, and I'm also enrolled in Mercy College for graduate school. Now majoring in English Literature, I can see the importance and reasons necessary for English and Literature, but what's more important is why it's necessary (like History and Math) no matter which major you pick, or want to do the rest of your life. I will be honest with you. Ther... Read more

Learning a new language can be fun and rewarding

Initially, languages did not come easily to me. My first year of middle-school Spanish, I was boggled by the idea that verbs conjugated and, once I started studying Latin, that nouns declined. It all seemed so...foreign to me. But with the help of a very patient host family while on a ninth-grade exchange program in Mexico, I realized not only how useful speaking and understanding a foreign language could be, but how beautifully that language could express feelings English could not. ...

Greetings! There are two simple secrets to writing well - solid organization and clarity. Organization develops clear thoughts; clear wording prevents redundancy and over-writing. But I also believe this process must be guided by an individual's personal learning style. Together we can find your natural study rhythm and develop strong writing skills. I hold a master's degree and candidacy in cultural anthropology from the University of Michigan and have spent 8 years as a freelance writer. D... Read more
