" I've taught for Kaplan Test Prep (no relation, though my name is Kaplan) and I've designed my own prep courses that draw from a wide variety of methods and teaching styles.
Whether tutoring for a specific test, or teaching a subject more generally, I work with students to find a method of preparation and learning that works for them.
Besides tutoring and education, I'm interested in music, hiking--both interests that I pursued in Brazil, where I lived for three years.
I look forward to hearing from you!."

" I believe that the children and families with whom I have worked would describe me as a patient, creative, and dedicated instructor, one who endeavors to narrowly tailor her teaching methods to suit the needs of each individual student. I truly love working with children and hope to someday enter a career in education, whether as a classroom teacher or more indirectly, by working to affect educational policy.

My ultimate goal is always to make learning enjoyable for the ...

"
My personal educational philosophy is one that accommodates the different ways students learn. I believe it is important for an educator to understand how a given student learns in order to best reach that student. No where is this more true than in one-on-one tutoring. I also believe it is an educator's job not only to teach, but to instill a love of learning."

" During my senior year, I researched and compared the educational systems and conditions faced by Chinese migrant children and those faced by undocumented children in America.
