Mr. Nigel -  Brooklyn

Hello, I grew up Brownsville, East New York. Growing up in this neighborhood has taught me how to work hard, and never take anything for granted. This mindset has helped me to obtain a degree in Journalism, which has helped me to become an ESL teacher for 6 years, which was a very enjoyable experience.  Now, I am proud to be able to use my experience as a teacher to give back to my community as a Lead Tutor for Success4life.

​Mr. TJ - Brooklyn

​

My affinity for tutoring stems from a natural innate empathy for people that I strongly believe has the power to change the world. From being raised in the urban areas of Brooklyn, to my love of travel exposing me to countless cultures, idealogies, languages and even dialects, my past experience continues to aid my fundamental work of teaching. True empathy, understanding and patience are essential building blocks to every and any teacher-student relationship as they need to know we truly care. In fact, with a background of over 10 years teaching and a secular background in education, some would say that makes me the right candidate to motivate youth. However, not only do these actually youth motivate me but the privilege is really mine as I participate in Success4Life's effort to help students as they reach their goals.

I believe that patience and keen attention to the needs of each student is key to building excitement for personal growth. Experience as an educator within the NYDOE and 5 years as a private tutor has shown me the importance of teaching each youth how to adapt to their learning styles and gain confidence with learning strategies. I am honored to fuel the success of the youth in my community with Success4Life and strive to encourage a contagious desire to learn.

For the last two years, I've worked as a graduate assistant and tutor at CUNY. I received my GED in 2009.

I work to create a comfortable, dynamic learning space where students can freely ask questions, request help, and receive any and all guidance. I strive to meet students where they are--daily, and in general--and work from there. All youths deserve a future full of opportunity, for youths are the future. As such, I am delighted to play a role in helping these students recognize their potentials and attain their goals.
