Tutor Profile

Senior at Yale University
Majoring in International Studies, and Economics

Gender:
Female

Preferred Subjects
Algebra, SAT Math, General Math, Pre-Calculus, Chinese, and Study Skills/Organization

Experience:

I started a tutoring club in my high school that paired National Honor Society students with fifth graders. I trained the tutors and created lessons and materials for the program. After growing that organization to over thirty tutors, I started a tutoring business that focused on math and test preparation. I have tutored all through college in New Haven, and I truly enjoy teaching.

My creative approach makes tutoring sessions fun and allows me to go beyond helping students finish their homework and really enthuse them about their studies. As for scores and distinctions, they are on par with any other Yalie. What sets me apart is my experience and success as a tutor.

Hobbies:

I am an adventurous and gregarious woman who is strong in math and science. I love to travel, and I have lived in China for 7 months. While there, I ventured all over the country, including to Inner Mongolia and Tibet. Happy New Year!

New Haven Tutor Profile: Comp. and Applied Math major at Yale University

Sun, 28 Dec 2008 20:31:38 +0000

Tutor Profile

Freshman at Yale University
Majoring in Comp. and Applied Math

Gender:
Female

Preferred Subjects
Algebra, Calculus, General Math, Pre-Calculus, SAT Math, Trigonometry, SAT, Economics, and Computer Skills

Experience:

Hi! My name is Andrea, and I'm pleased to offer my services as a tutor. I worked as a tutor throughout high school, and would love to continue in college.

In high school, I tutored 3 students (sophomores-seniors) in various math subjects. I can obtain references from them if you would like. Since high school, I've taken more economics classes, and would also be happy to tutor in that subject. I plan on majoring in applied math; I really enjoy the subject and love teaching others as well. Currently, I've taken Calc levels 1-3 and will be beginning Linear Algebra in the spring. I received a 5 on the Calculus BC AP test, and participated in a county math team during high school.

I also would be very interested in SAT tutoring. Personally, I got a 2400 on the test, and went through a number of practice exams beforehand. I know the specifics of the test very well (and took a review course myself.)

Also, I'd be more than willing to tutor younger students if needed. I've been a camp counselor for grade-school children for 5 summers, and also have an 11-year-old brother whom I have helped with his homework for years.

Though it wasn't an option on the website, I'm also able to tutor Italian, as I've taken the language for several years.

I'm looking forward to the opportunity to hearing from you!

Hobbies:

Beyond my academic interests, I like to eat food from various cuisines, shop, sing, use the computer, and generally just relax and chat with my friends. In good weather, I also love to be outside.

New Haven Tutor Profile: Political Science major at Yale University

Tue, 23 Dec 2008 05:16:32 +0000

Freshman at Yale University
Majoring in Political Science

Gender:
Male

Preferred Subjects
Algebra, Calculus, General Math, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, SAT Math, Trigonometry, Chemistry, English (ESL), French, Spanish, SAT, Economics, Geography, and History

Experience:

While in high school, I used to be a peer tutor in a variety of subjects. Now that I'm a "Yalie," however, I'm looking to parlay my volunteer experience into a part-time job.

What I lack in a specialty, I compensate for in well-roundedness. I'm willing to tutor in almost anything, save a handful of foreign languages and sciences. As for my own studies, I am still undeclared but eventually intend to major in either history or political science, perhaps a combination of the two (or something else altogether!).

Now for the self-aggrandizement I'm reluctant to indulge in:

I was named one of two 2007 Presidential Scholars for Pennsylvania.

I was 1st runner-up on the 2007 Jeopardy! Teen Tournament.

I am a National Merit Finalist.

I've gotten a perfect score on every standardized test I've taken, including the SAT, PSAT, three SAT II's, and seven AP's.

Hobbies:

Here's an alphabetized assortment of what I enjoy doing in my spare time:

Burying myself in books

Devouring my mother's cooking

Filling out my daily crossword

Playing duplicate bridge

Running cross-country

Watching movies (the older, the

Tutor Profile

Senior at Yale University
Majoring in English

Gender:
Male

Preferred Subjects
English (Writing), Spanish, SAT, Algebra, SAT Math, GED, and English (ESL)

Experience:

I am currently a senior English major (Writing Concentration) at Yale who is considering a career in teaching. My experience in writing workshops as well as my tenure as an editor at the Yale Daily News has accustomed me to tutoring and mentoring students on their writing -- from the basics like grammar, spelling and diction to the more complicated aspects of writing like point of view, voice, style, structure and story-telling.

Also, throughout high school, I worked part-time as a both a paid and volunteer math tutor. I helped students my age with algebra, geometry and pre-calculus.

I speak, write and read Spanish at the advanced level. I am particularly better at reading and writing than I am at speaking, since I've been out of practice for about a year. I had two years of language instruction here at Yale, and I also lived and studied in Spain one summer.

I made a combined score of 1520 on the SAT: 790 Verbal, 730 Math.

Hobbies:

My favorite hobbies are reading, writing, watching movies and listening to music. I was the Arts & Living editor at the Yale Daily News, so I like talking about the latest trends -- from pop music to celebrity gossip to hilarious YouTube videos.
