Christopher B.
CUNY Brooklyn College
STEM Tutor/Teacher Specializing in Mechanical Physics
With some technical engineering experience, 5+ years as a classroom science teacher, and now 3+ years of STEAM tutoring, I believe that I’m now a well-rounded educator who can help anyone achieve their goals. Whether you need support with a highly-technical course or conceptual understandings more grounded in reality, problem sets or reports, if you’re an advanced learner or struggling with organization and foundational skills, I can meet you where you’re at and help you grow. At this point, I’ve seen just about every teaching method, word problem, diagram, symbolism, etc., and can easily adjust to what your class requires and/or what will help you specifically to wrap your head around the work. And, if we don’t find immediate success, I am persistent and will put in work outside of our sessions to ensure improvement. Perhaps one area that sets me apart as a tutor is my preparedness. While I certainly can give lessons on short notice and answer your questions on the fly, I also like to ensure that we're efficient with our time and that I don't create confusion by doing things too differently from your professor. For example, if the course is AP, IB, Regents, etc., I will review the symbols used and the grading policies beforehand - I've even looked over a few college syllabi for this reason. And if you can send me an assignment ahead of time, I will look it over and perhaps solve some problems ahead of time so that I have clear explanations ready and we don't waste time exploring dead ends. For regular clients, I'm also happy to communicate over messaging as often as you'd like. I will provide regular feedback on growth and needs in both technical and non-technical areas. And for quick questions, I'm happy to help without setting up a lesson and charging. I'm also fortunate to be quite flexible, so please don't hesitate to ask if you can push back a lesson or reschedule.

National University of Lesotho
Learning is the compass guiding you through life's journeys. Embrace curiosity as your faithful companion on this endless voyage of discovery
My name is Nteboheng Mokhethi, and I am thrilled to be your English tutor. I hold a Bachelor of Science degree from the National University of Lesotho, and English is one of the official languages in my country. I believe strongly that if people are given the tools and a platform, as individuals can change the world for the better. My way of contributing my bit is to empower individuals with knowledge. Each one teach one is my motto when it comes to this. I am excited to share this enthusiasm in passing on knowledge with you. In my classroom I foster an interactive learning environment that encourages participation and engagement. I am also very flexible enough to adapt my teaching my teaching approach to different student types, from those who learn by activities to introverted theorists. In my classroom giving feedback is not just so students see what they got wrong, it is an integral part of their develop, it’s focused on praise and achievement along with improving on areas of weakness. I am trained to use all forms of technology if they’re available to enhance learning and make it more fun and accessible. Different learning materials allow me to create an environment that’s supportive and inclusive so students can feel confident enough to engage with me and other students in the classroom. As an educator it is important to practice what you teach and understand that how one carries themselves impacts the students’ behaviour greatly. Having good morals and ethics and treating students with respects is a good way to ensure they embody these ideals in the classroom and in life. I always try to impart students with the understanding that one needs to be responsible for themselves and those around them as I am a person with a strong sense of community. Thank you for giving me this opportunity to tell you more about myself, I look forward to getting to know you better. Warm regards Nteboheng Mokhethi.

David T.
Univeristy of Cambridge
Cambridge-educated tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience
Over the last decade, since graduating from Cambridge with an MSci in Natural Sciences, I have worked as a classroom science teacher, a private educator and a university and schools consultant in Monaco, Dubai, Switzerland, the UK, and the USA. Throughout this time I have worked with students as young as 5, all the way up to MBA students. Although I'm passionate about sharing my love for all aspects of STEM, my primary focus has been on math(s), physics, chemistry, and biology tutoring for students up to the age of 18. That being said, I consider myself to be a STEM communicator as much as a teacher, and over the last decade I have had the privilege of leading students through lessons on pretty much any topic imaginable. My goal is to meet each of my students on their own terms and impart a deep appreciation and understanding of the topic at hand. To begin with we'll spend time discussing your personal aims and assessing your problem areas, then come up with specific plans to address each of these in turn. I strongly believe that students learn best when they are relaxed and enjoying themselves, so I strive to make my classroom a positive environment where you won’t be afraid to make educated guesses or get the answer wrong. In general, we will begin each topic by discussing the themes and ideas behind it, before going over some related questions together. Once you’re feeling more confident, I’ll then set you some work to try on your own. I try to cover most of the necessary work in class, but I can also provide extra work to be done in your own time, if required. I am very aware that everyone learns differently and understands concepts in their own way, so I adapt my techniques to fit each individual. What I can guarantee is that in each lesson we will work together to address and understand concepts in a way that makes sense to you. Get in touch so we can go over your learning style, get to know each other and discuss the best way to help you reach your goals.
