"When the goal is common, deep understanding of the same material by all students in a classroom, it is imperative that the individual needs and abilities of each student are addressed to the best of the teacher's ability. For this reason, I believe that the most effective way for students to learn is individually with an experienced facilitator or in small groups with others who share similar interests, though not necessarily similar understandings or experiences. I have experience working in enrichment and remediation programs with students from grades 3 through 12, and I believe that the primary goal of education should be to help ...

"My favorite subject to teach is Math, but I love the process of writing, too. Seeing a student succeed is one of the best parts of what I do. Nothing is better than witnessing that "AHA!" moment when it just clicks. Little moments like that are the reason I love what I do.."

"At UPenn, I worked in a non-profit organization called Achieve-Ability, where I tutored adults and children on college essays and personal statements. In collaboration with my students, I created individual academic plans to help them reach their goals and helped them come up with study skills which suits their learning style. I am very adaptable to students needs and work with a student-center framework and will go where they need assistance the most, and work from there. I am a published writer and some of my work can be seen in Poetry Quarterly, The Houston Literary Review, Lucid Rhythms and Mad Swirl." ...

"I also helped teach a remedial English class at West Philadelphia High School for a year through a program called Community School Student Partnerships. I am dedicated to making difficult material more accessible and engaging to students who are struggling in an imperfect educational environment, and also to fostering literacy, writing, and critical thinking skills that can be applied to all subjects and beyond.

"For this reason, tutoring is often an invaluable component of the schooling process. My academic successes have not only left me with semantic knowledge, but also a number of strategies that can aid struggling students in their comprehension, allowing for procedural learning that will be effective after content-based knowledge is forgotten. I try to inspire students by disseminating information in a manner that they will feel engaged and challenged -- using relevant examples, and thereby forcing them to think critically about real-world problems. I am currently pursuing a phD in Psychology with a concentration in Applied ...

"Each student is different, with varying interests, strengths, weakness and learning styles. As a teacher, I have found that it can be very difficult to meet the varying needs of each student in the classroom; however, as a tutor I can pinpoint the exact need of your student and find the best practice to address that need. I look forward to working with you and helping your student to achieve!."

"Aside from tutoring, I also like theatre, dance, ice skating, and chocolate! As an artist, arts educator and dramaturg, I'm curious and passionate about literature and history, and how these things inform our society in the present. I want to help other students find ways to be excited about these subjects. The things you learn in school should feel applicable to your life and I can help you rediscover how, while helping with any material that feels particularly challenging or inaccessible. I've worked as an educator at The Huntington Theatre Company and Stoneham Theatre in Boston, The Berkshire Theatre Group in Western Mass, and with ...

" I love being able to work with students in a one-on-one setting; for students to truly grasp difficult concepts, they must be able to discuss the material freely with their teacher, which is rarely possible in a classroom setting. For writing especially, one-on-one tutoring is essential to developing one's skills. As a Varsity Tutor, I hope to not only strengthen students' writing and academic performance, but also make them feel more confident in their ability to learn.."
