" I tutored primarily during the four years I attended Davidson College, an elite four star, four year, private liberal arts college in Davidson, North Carolina, where some of my pupils were local high school students who sought help in French and French history. My primary areas of expertise in tutoring are in French, Genetics, ACT, SAT, GRE, Spanish, German, and Dutch. I took Genetics at Columbia University, NYC, and I have lived for over four years in the countries where these languages are natively spoken. I am well versed in tutoring for the SAT and ACT because I graduated high school with a GPA of over 4.0 and was ranked in the top ten of my ...

" My degree is from NYU, where I double majored in Mathematics and East Asian Studies. I have taught languages, especially English, for a long time in many different classroom settings and countries. I like teaching languages because I also enjoy learning them! In addition to English, I speak Russian, French, Chinese, and Spanish. I know that sometimes grammar or pronunciation can be difficult for students, but having worked with many different students of different levels over the years, I know how to explain language concepts and help students improve both their language level and study skills." ...

" I believe, and I help students understand, that these tests are a means to an end. It is wonderful to know that I've played a role in helping students achieve their goals. Having spent many years mentoring teenagers, through extensive volunteer work, and raising three of my own, I understand the stresses and difficulties of this time in a student's and parent's life. Former tutoring clients tell me that I have been a calming influence during this difficult time.."

" I've worked as a tutor for many years, including providing essay help to Princeton students as a Writing Center Fellow. Learning any subject requires lots of hard work, but I also think having a tutor should be fun! I know that's a cliche, but I truly believe in developing lasting relationships with each student and developing a rapport. Because there's only one student to help, there's no excuse not to make the lessons engaging and personalized to their interests. For example, if you have a student who loves sports but struggles with math, I have a slew of analogies that can help. To me, tutoring is a delicate balance between a hands-on and ...

"I have always loved the challenge and thrill of learning, and strive to convey that same attitude to my students as both a tutor and as a classroom teacher. Too often, particularly in the case of preparing for standardized tests, students are faced with tedious, repetitive, and boring work. My tutoring sessions are engaging, lively, and above all, FUN! I have worked with students ages 5 through 15, and have helped them to tackle a wide array of learning challenges, from English as a Second Language difficulties to memory delays and other learning disabilities. The key to my students' success is that I help them to set clear goals, practice ...

"When I work with a student for the first time, I like to begin with the very basics of the subject to ensure the individual has a proper grasp of the fundamentals. 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." ...
