"Students can often be hesitant to admit they are unsure of concepts that were taught in previous years because they feel they are expected to know them. However, without a proper understanding of the simple facets of a subject, the more complicated features can never be truly internalized. I have always enjoyed explaining concepts to other people, and find it works best when I relate the subject to a personal interest of the student. The most rewarding aspect of teaching is watching a student attack a problem in a step-by-step manner and explain the significance of each step." ...

" The liberal arts curriculum I took at Stanford University has ensured that I not only can tutor students in technical fields but also humanities. I'm a voracious reader, especially of historical non-fiction, so I would especially enjoy tutoring for history and English in addition to mathematics. I am a savvy test taker and would be able to teach your child not only the content necessary to excel at the SAT and other standardized tests, but also how to utilize strategies to maximize efficiency and accuracy. In teaching, I enjoy connecting the subject matter to topics that would not necessarily seem relevant to the lesson in order to engage ...

"I attended Stuyvesant High School, and in 2007 I left the city to attend Cornell University, where I graduated with a Bachelor of Science with honors in Human Development. My areas of focus while I studied included Social and Personality Development in Early Childhood, Education, and Feminist Studies. As a student, I conducted research in schools, fulfilled a teaching assistantship, and worked as a substitute at a local daycare center. I also learned how to be a successful caretaker and educator in my coursework."

"I tend to tackle learning from a top-down, conceptual angle - I found in school that I could learn information by rote and do fine on a test, but could achieve much more through a more macroscopic conceptual understanding of the topic at hand. As a teacher of middle school chorus, I made it my goal to focus on that sort of macroscopic perspective on music, teaching kids who had no prior music experience to read music and understand music, rather than just sing it by rote. 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 ...

"
I know how to help a student prepare for a test because I have given thousands of tests myself. I have a lot of experience explaining things to students and find it tremendously rewarding to help them improve. I have not tutored even a single student who was not able, with effort, to improve and usually significantly.."

"I am a huge math and science lover and would love to share my enthusiasm with everyone! I can provide solid help with lower level math and up to higher levels of biology (AP Biology) and some chemistry (Gen. Chem). In the past I have worked with elementary school aged children as well as high school peers! While at UNC I tutored at a human rights center, which helped elementary school students with homework, test prep etc. In addition while a calculus student in high school, I had the privilege of tutoring a few students in pre-calculus and Algebra and absolutely loved it! These students all ended the class with A's. On another note, as a future ...

"But like most challenges in my life, I viewed it as motivation. I took a course, got private math tutoring, took practice tests, and came up with essay prompts. Ultimately, I got a very strong score, ranking me in the 96th percentile. I have since graduated cum laude from Tufts University with a BA in English and minors in Art History and Media Studies.
As a member of the National Honor Society and Peer Leaders, I decided to use my experience to help others."
