" I anticipate completion of the program in May 2013, hoping to begin medical school in the Fall of 2014.

In addition, I maintain a position at Sylvan Learning Center as a mathematics tutor, working with students from K-12 in basic math skills as well as in higher level mathematics courses such as algebra, trigonometry, geometry and pre-calculus.

"I got great satisfaction out of my students' "light bulb" moments. Seeing their happy faces fuels my passion and love for teaching and tutoring.
Because of my experiences in individual tutoring for students from different backgrounds and learning levels, I understand that not everyone learns at the same pace or works well with the same method. So, over the years I have developed the skills necessary to tailor to my students' unique learning needs."

" Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” -Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland My goal is to share with students the beauty of mathematics and to enable them to become fluent in its language. As a New York State certified teacher and a long-time tutor, I not only share with students the concrete tools needed to solve math problems, but also the conceptual tools needed to think mathematically. As a result, I often bring models so that students can gain a visual understanding of mathematical formulas. I also bring a great sense of humor to the endeavor of tutoring and often serve as a cheerleader so that ...

" I have helped students study for tests, quizzes, college entrance exams, SAT an ACT tests, SAT subject tests, and AP exams. I specialize in Math and Science subjects because I am one of those weird people that enjoy those subjects very much! My favorite part of tutoring is getting to know my students and their families. I also enjoy seeing the satisfied look on my students faces when they realize that they have the ability to understand difficult concepts and answer complex problems.."

"
During my past three years in New York, I have worked as a tutor with an after school enrichment program in Harlem called Street Squash. Through this program, I led Regents test-prep sessions in Algebra and ELA for 30 8th grade students, worked individually with 6th-11th grade students on homework in all subject areas, and worked with a high school junior in preparation for his SAT. I really enjoyed working with students on crafting essay responses and targeting SAT prep techniques.."

"This belief informs my teaching style; I act as a guide for students rather than someone dispensing information. Nothing is more enjoyable than the look on a student's face when he or she has just realized that he or she can solve a problem without anyone's help. When I'm not tutoring, I love walking through New York for design inspiration and taking carpentry, metalworking, and illustration classes.."

" I have been doing freelance tutoring since December 2011 before working for Varsity Tutors. Learning math is different than any other subject. It is more about understanding the process and asking "why" rather than memorization. I am not far removed from studying math in school myself and I know what it's like to struggle, to feel lost in class, or to be stuck on a problem. I find the most effective method is having the student attempt the math problems on their own rather then just watch the problems being solved as they might in a classroom." ...

"
What makes me a great tutor is my ability to understand the needs of my tutee and tailor my teaching strategy to his or her needs. Additionally, I have an uncanny ability to connect with my tutees so that tutoring becomes something more than “extra” work; it becomes a fun, challenging journey to learn the unknown.
