"While at Yale, I taught part time at two different charter schools (Amistad Academy and Cooperative Arts and Humanities Magnet). I love working with kids, and have studied positive reinforcement techniques to enhance learning. 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 ...

"I am a patient and understanding person who absolutely loves to help people. I try to go above and beyond in helping my students to truly understand and connect with the subject I am helping them with. I believe it is very important for me to be able to relate with my students, therefore, I reach out to them on a personal level in such a way to understand why they are having difficulty in the subject and explain to them how I would try to overcome any mental block. I also try to understand the best way they learn so that I can approach them in a way that best suits their needs." ...

"I have been teaching for most of my life, beginning with tutoring my younger brother. Through that experience I learned to teach different subjects and years, and even more importantly, I learned to teach different learning styles. Because I really cared that he understand the material - not just answer questions correctly - when I found that the teaching methods that worked best for me were not ideal for him, I adjusted my teaching style to play to his strengths and natural habits. Likewise, I tailor how I teach to each of my students." ...

"Almost seven years ago, in the highly diverse, academically rich environment of the San Francisco Bay Area, I began my professional tutoring career with one of the national names in test prep. With them I learned the value of working one on one with students to identify how best they learn and help them master their own learning style. I went on to work for another, more individualized company as a lead academic tutor in test prep and multiple subjects. I was recruited by an online tutoring firm to write and perform their ACT prep video series." ...

"Since my days in National Honor Society back in high school, tutoring has been second nature to me. I've always found it incredibly rewarding to inspire my students to achieve their maximum potential and watch them attain newfound confidence in subject areas they previously dreaded. In recent years, I've focused on tutoring high school math and science. I also work with students on Spanish, ISEE, SSAT, SAT Prep, and collegiate level courses. As a chemical engineering student at UPenn, I learned the importance of having a great tutor firsthand." ...
