" My students understand that I am 100% dedicated to their progress and that no question is insignificant in the learning process. My work with various educational non-profits has allowed me to engage students from a range of backgrounds.
I began tutoring my first semester at college with middle school. As I helped them with their homework and test prep for high school, I developed a teaching style that promoted good study skills for my students to use beyond our tutoring sessions."

"I absolutely love to teach! I find it vital to form a bond with my students, to get to know them and really find out what they like, what they are good at and what will help them to be successful. I have well practiced methods for helping students learn new material and re-learn old or difficult material. I also incorporate methods that help to greatly reduce anxiety, and actually make math fun! When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my four year old, Julia, and my crazy dog, Albie. I love to be outdoors, hike, garden and read." ...

" Students are often better able to grasp complicated concepts when they're viewed in an interdisciplinary context. As an artist and techie I frequently call on both my creative and analytical sides when teaching and developing curriculum, especially in the areas of science-arts. Some of my fondest moments have been when a student mastered a complicated skill or concept with ease because they were so highly focused on the “fun” project or experiment. I bring this same creativity and passion to all disciplines from literature and history to science and scholarly research.." ...

" I intend to complete a PhD in Clinical Psychology. I love learning, and I love helping others to enjoy the learning process as well. I like to approach subjects from different angles, as I think that it's important to not only learn the material for a specific subject, but to also discover which techniques and methods of learning work best for you or your child. In discovering how you best learn, you can improve your understanding and performance in all subjects! I started my tutoring journey in 7th grade, when I tutored my slightly older friend for the Math B Regents. Seeing her excitement when she figured out a new concept is what inspired me ...

"My goal as a teacher is to facilitate a love of learning in children. I am especially passionate about teaching math - I want the next generation to love math as much as I do. My teaching style is creative, collaborative, and interdisciplinary. After I get to know a student on a personal level, I craft lessons that cater to the student's interests and personal learning style to engage them and make the learning more relevant and meaningful. I often integrate subjects to enhance learning - for instance, I teach math using visual tools (drawing, manipulatives, role play) in order to make the abstract more tangible and accessible." ...
