I have previous experience teaching undergraduate courses at the University of Iowa; I also spent several years working as a teaching artist in St. Louis elementary, junior high, and high schools. As a tutor, I love helping students discover the most creative (yet structurally sound!) ways to express an idea through language. Each week, I look forward to problem-solving together with my students."

"in Environmental Science and Biology) working in colleges, museums, classrooms and more. I've taught students about the environment while on 5 hour long hikes through redwood forests in the same year I taught human biology to students at a private school. Each experience improved and broadened my educational skill.
Each experience has also deepened my commitment to teaching and tutoring in the natural sciences. I love the depth and complexity of science, but I refuse to let that complexity make the subject inaccessible."

"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.

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.

"I attended Stuyvesant High School in Tribeca, where I was a member of the debate team and participated in some theater productions. My favorite subject is and has always been English, so it is no surprise that I entered the publishing industry after college and am loving it. The aspect of tutoring I find the most rewarding is watching my students improve, and that is why my favorite subject to teach is SAT, as the progress is easily measurable. With other subjects, it is important to establish your own way of measuring improvement, which will keep motivation high." ...

"I tutored Spanish and Biology in High School, and at Brandeis University, I expanded my repertoire and taught some French, Chemistry, Anatomy, and Physiology. I hope to become a pediatrician not just because of the fancy doctor title, but because I genuinely want to help kids in need, especially those who grew up underprivileged, much like myself. My tutoring style is very hands on. I like evaluating problem areas for students and helping them with those while strengthening areas that they're more comfortable in.
