...currently studying towards my graduate degree at Columbia University. I've received my BA in philosophy from Durham University in England. Throughout my studies I have developed extensive logical and reasoning skills that I believe were key to my academic success, and skills which I believe anyone can acquire with proper instruction. This combined with my familiarity with the GRE means I can help you achieve the result you wish. My way of teaching focuses on...

...about tutoring is that all students are capable of achieving their goals in mathematics. I think that one-on-one sessions are invaluable to students struggling in a classroom environment. Sometimes teachers do not have the time to give sufficient personalized attention, the way a qualified tutor can. I believe that I can help motivate and encourage students who are currently having difficulty. I teach in a conceptual manner, encouraging deeper thought, rather than pure memorization. I...

...their exams, guided them in doing their projects, and prepared them for their upcoming lessons. Because I was handling elementary students, I covered all of the subjects when tutoring them and put emphasis on those which they needed help the most. My favorite subjects to tutor are Reading, Phonics, and Writing. Anything that has to do with Language Arts is my forte. Although this is my preference, I am still able to teach and tutor...

...a family of editors, a love of etymology and grammar was instilled (okay, hammered) into my mind at an early age. Any questions brought up at the dinner table led directly to a reference book. Wondering where your meal came from? Pick up the Oxford Companion to Food. Any question about word origins? Grab your magnifying glass, and pour over the dictionary. This type of curiosity has followed me into adulthood. I'm a full-blown Wikipedian....

...a pharmacist and receive a PharmD degree. In the fall, I will be enrolling in my third year, the start of the professional years. Interestingly enough, science, specifically chemistry, was not on my list of my favorite subjects, but as I started learning more concepts, it suddenly became more revealing and interesting. Personally, I was never a "know-it-all" student, as I too had multiple tutors growing up. I had a math tutor from grade 7...

I firmly believe every child has the potential to find success in school and am passionate about working to serve all of my students. I am excited to begin tutoring and use my skills as a teacher to support children outside of my school community. I have a wealth of resources from the two schools I have worked...

...feedback on their own strengths and weaknesses, not the entire class's strengths and weaknesses. I also seek to be personally approachable to students because when there is a divide between tutor and tutoree, I do not believe that the student learns as much as they potentially can. I see the tutoring relationship as a two-way avenue in which both parties learn valuable, new skills throughout sessions. In my spare time, I like to spend time...

...following year. Through my knowledge and years of practice in core and essential subjects such as math, chemistry, biology, and organic chemistry, I can help make your life much easier. I believe the best method for learning is understanding the concepts rather than memorizing it and this has proved to be rewarding in many ways, especially long term. Let me use my years of experience to help you understand in the most short, simple and...

...in teaching is based on the fundamental principle that it's okay to not know-- we learn through our mistakes and I will be cheering you on, never punish you for learning. My grandmother was a wonderful teacher who helped me re-learn Chinese when I moved back from Japan to China. Because my grandma served as a mentor who believed that 'I can do it', I remained confident and went from bottom of class to top....

...friends always come to me for help in Algebra, PreCalc and Calculus since they regard my teaching style as easy and interesting. However, I would like to add that I am a pusher- I push myself to the best I can be, and I would push and motivate my students to be their best too. Outside academics, I have a lot of hobbies. I watch TED talks, write computer programs, listen to music and read....

If you choose me to be your tutor then you will definitely ace your test. I'm a great math tutor because I understand the material thoroughly, am patient, and know how to explain things. I attended Stuyvesant High School and the University of Chicago; I am currently studying Data Science with Johns Hopkins.... If you don't get it then I'm explaining it wrong.... Before the first session, I'd have them do a bunch of practice problems...

...all subject areas. My strongest subject is Mathematics and I also believe in the development of good study habits in all areas, thus I feel that students still need to be taught what is good studying, how to stay organized and focus on a study plan for success. Once a struggling shy student myself, I can be relatable and understanding on the obstacles of what's keeping a student from achieving their potential.
