"The result was a chorus of engaged, knowledgable singers equipped with the tools for a future as a music lover and maker. I have experience in both Math/Science and the Humanities. At Yale, I studied Philosophy of Science, focusing on the intersection of physics and philosophy (my senior essay explored the knowability of the direction of time, and incorporated findings from wave-physics), and took numerous courses in literature and writing. But perhaps most of all, what makes me a great tutor is my sheer love of teaching."

"I also spent a semester in Spain, taking all classes in Spanish at a Spanish university. After graduation, I went to Africa for six months. I spent three months in Tanzania teaching English and three months in Mozambique working as a research assistant at a health clinic. My international teaching experience helped me become a more creative teacher because I often had to improvise on the spot when my students didn't understand me, which happens quite a lot when you and your students don't speak the same language."

" As a tutor, in a one on one situation, my goal is to find out where the client is, where they want to be, and map out a plan to get them there. I try and make it fun or relevant. As a middle school student, I had tutoring to help keep me focused (as an AD/HD student, I need more structure than most people) and it was invaluable. When we're young, adults stress how important school is to our futures. But not until a later age, somewhere around high school/college, does it really hit most of us that the preparation we did in those earlier years was incredibly crucial." ...

"My passion for science education led me to volunteer with Roots and Shoots, an environmental education organization, to teach hands-on workshops for young children at the local science center about topics such as flower anatomy, animal tracks, and the popular 'egg drop'. I was also a peer counselor and trained incoming counselors, which involved teaching in front of large groups and leading small-group exercises. For my Master's thesis research, I became a research assistant at the Lincoln Park Zoo, studying the behavior of chimpanzees and gorillas. I frequently interacted with zoo guests as I collected my data and enjoyed ...

"Students at top high schools like Stuyvesant and Brooklyn Tech are especially engaging to work with, due to the challenging nature of the material and the lively mind of the student. In addition to my own tutoring practice, I've also been director of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't." ...

"I love working with students of all ages. I am very familiar with the school systems and have developed my own teaching approach that leaves the students that I work with feeling a sense of accomplishment and ownership of the material. I have found that this is the key to lasting and continuing progress.
When I’m facing a challenge, I just think to myself, “If others before me have done this, I can definitely do it!” The same goes for you."

"I have devoted years of study to each of these fields and I bring this to my students. Patience comes from my naturally calm demeanor, and my strong desire to help my students understand the materials in front of them. It also comes from knowing that everyone learns at their own pace, and that everyone can learn any concept, if given the proper opportunity. Reliability reflects my ability to let my students know they can count on me to help them advance in their studies. It also reflects my punctuality to make my appointments and communicate with my clients.." ...
