I began tutoring for a private company while I was a student at Columbia University in New York. While there, I had the opportunity to teach students of all backgrounds and levels of ability.

When it comes to standardized testing or general classroom success, half the battle...

...make general methods to teach many students a bit, but to really learn something, the learning process has to become more personal. I always try to take a preliminary period with my students why they want to learn or to improve in something. By understanding what they want from tutoring, I can tailor my lessons to how they learn so they will get the most out of their time with me. After all, the students...
