I have references available upon request and can work anywhere in the borough of Manhattan and will work in the outer boroughs if it is reasonable for me to reach the student and can be done in a timely fashion.

My tutoring methods are tailored around each individual student, and what his or her individual needs are.

Elementary Education

Elementary (K-6th),

Elementary (K-6th)

I have taught 5th graders before in the years 2009 and 2012. Both students saw substantial increases in their test scores, in subjects such as English, Math, Reading Comprehension, and Literature. Additionally, I have access to a library of useful books for young students of that age, which should prove helpful for those seeking tutoring services at that young grade level.

If a student needs help in arithmetic, word problems, averages, counting, calculating cost, simple fractions, decimals, percentages, order of operations, and simple algebra, I can help.
Elementary Science,

Elementary Science

If students need help in basic biology, geology, physics, chemistry, and how to read scientific terminology, I can help. For biology, I can teach the kinds of categories that living things are divided into, the chemistry of life, and basic terminology, among other things. I can teach physics and chemistry on a more basic level, covering basic topics such as matter, atoms, elements, compounds, forces, energy, friction, and motion. For geology, I can teach about rocks, plate tectonics, and how the Earth itself works. For all subjects, I can assist a student preparing for the regents or other tests.
Grammar,

Grammar

I can teach proper use of words, punctuation, and sentence structure, in keeping with the rules of English grammar.
Homeschool,

Homeschool

I have had years worth of students on the WyzAnt platform, along with experience with several other tutoring companies. Most of these companies have required me to teach in a student's home or other non-school environment. I would be more than happy to assist with homeschooling endeavors.
Reading,

Reading

I can help a student in the areas of reading comprehension, parts of speech, sentence structure, and many other vital parts of reading literature. I can also help a student comprehend many devices used by writers in their works, such as irony, metaphor, characterization, simile, and many other devices whose meaning is not plainly written.
Spelling,

Spelling

I can help students spell words using a variety of techniques, such as sounding a word out, distinguishing between words with the same or similar sound, breaking a complex word up into simple pieces (such as "business" into "bus-i-ness") and helping identify common letter combinations such as "-ism" or "-tion."
Study Skills,

Study Skills

Developing good study skills is important for leaning any subject. As a graduate student who graduated from Brooklyn Technical High School and undergraduate education at Fordham University, I demonstrably have the study skills that are needed to pass high school and college. I can help a student learn more effectively, help to increase comprehension of the material, how to manage time efficiently, and I can help a student not only in drilling for a subject while I am there to help, but to help the student develop good study habits which will last for his or her entire academic career.
Vocabulary

Vocabulary

Learning vocabulary is important because it helps one learn the meaning of a word as much as how to spell it. This is very important in English, as words in the English language come from a wide variety of sources, including Latin, Germanic languages, Greek, and dozens of other sources. I can teach a wide variety of vocabulary words, their meaning, how to spell them, and how to pronounce the words.

SAT Reading,

SAT Reading

The SAT is one of the most important tests a student will ever take in his or her life. A high SAT score can make all the difference when applying to a college. As such, it is best to prepare for the test as soon as possible, and to get help in studying for it. My score for the SAT reading section was a 600 out of 800, a score high enough to be accepted into Fordham University, where I later graduated in 2010. I will help to prepare a student for the SAT reading section.
SAT Writing,

SAT Writing

Good writing is difficult. Writing on the SAT can be even harder, given time constraints and the importance of the task. The SAT is one of the most important tests one may ever take, and it is best not to study for it alone. My own SAT writing grade was 690 out of 800, one of the higher grades in the country. As such,I can help a student prepare for the SAT writing section, and teach him or her the best way to write clearly and concisely for the highest grade possible.

Writing

I can teach a wide variety of writing subjects, including sentence structure, literary techniques, persuasive essays, expository essays, and how to convey one's point effectively.

History

American History,

American History

I can teach American History in all decades. It is best to focus on a specific time period, but I can cover the whole of American history if necessary.
European History,

European History

I can teach European history and tutor specific time periods, and focus on important themes, events, and important turning points, such as treaties and wars. I do not focus very much on specific times, dates, and historical figures, though.
Geography,

Geography

I can instruct a student on where countries are located, covering almost every location on Earth, save for a few tiny islands or obscure countries. I can also explain geographic concepts, such as borders, rivers, plains, mountains, forests, etc. Providing specific geography questions ahead of a lesson is appreciated, so I can provide a more comprehensive lesson.
Government & Politics,

Government & Politics

I earned my Master's Degree in Government and Politics back in St. John's University, with a 3.94 GPA.
Philosophy,

Philosophy

I can teach Western Philosophy, going back as far as the Pre-Socratic philosophers, although my greatest strength is Plato, Socrates and the philosophies which derive from them. Other philosophies I am proficient in include Utilitarianism, Aristotelian philosophy, the writings of Immanuel Kant, many Christian philosophers (including Augustine and Aquinas, among others), and the philosophies of the Enlightenment, such as early Liberalism and the philosophical foundations of the USA.
Political Science,

Political Science

I possess a bachelors' degree from Fordham University in political science and a Master's Degree in government and politics from St. John's University. The former was awarded in 2010 and the latter in 2013. I have also taught political science as a part of history and social studies courses.
Social Studies,

Social Studies

I have a Master's degree from St. John's University in Government and Politics, and I have covered social studies topics extensively in my undergraduate work at Fordham University. Social studies covers a wide variety of subjects, from history to civics, from geography to English, and various cultural studies. I can help in all of those subjects in social studies, especially history and civics. Understanding how society works is important if one wishes to go places in it, so learning social studies can be important and can boost grades in many different subjects.
World History

World History

World history focuses on themes and social processes as much as it does on specific events. The systems of society and social changes are the main focus on the lessons, as these are the driving forces of history. There is less emphasis on the deeds of great individuals, such as presidents and kings, but the lives of a few particularly important individuals will be discussed.

Logic

My credentials in logic come from the semesters I spent at Fordham University, where taking at least two classes in logic was mandatory. I passed both with very good grades. I can teach students basic logic, syllogisms, "if-then" statements, avoid logical fallacies, and how to draw conclusions by using deductive reasoning. Mathematically, I can help teach students to apply mathematical rules and concepts to their work. Other logic topics I can help with include how to construct a logical argument, how to support a statement, and how to arrive at a correct conclusion. I can also teach the difference between inductive, deductive, and abductive reasoning, as well as how to properly employ each form of logical inference.
