...in whatever way I could. That is how I discovered VarsityTutors. Tutoring allows me to use my experience and skills to help other students grow and learn in subjects they like and in subjects they dislike. What is most important to me is whether or not the student truly understands the material they are learning in class. In my experience, when a student "gets it," they are given confidence to continue to learn in that...

...love to learn and my ultimate goal with each student is to try and imbue in them a little of that love in the hopes that it helps them achieve independent academic success. I have tutored extensively in the visual arts, both in fine arts and art history. I welcome opportunities to take students to museums or galleries to experience art first hand. If it is test prep you need, I can help. I have...

...my students. A lively attitude and a little humility from the instructor allows students to engage with the content unburdened by the self-doubt that most people experience in an unfamiliar social setting. As a working relationship develops, I can help to build intrinsic motivation by helping information to fit into conceptual frameworks that are viewed as empowering, inviting the student into a worldview in which education is a superpower not a senseless hazing ritual imposed...

When I am not teaching, I love spending time with my children, playing with my cat, walking, baking and...

...and standardized exams (PSAT, SAT, ACT). My approach is useful for the student for whom shortcuts are just not cutting it they want to actually understand the material. Of course sometimes shortcuts are useful but they are not useful beyond a certain point. You are paying for an exclusive service, so I want to make sure there is enough time for you, as a student, to fulfill goals that are reasonable. Routinely measuring and tracking...

I love to read and to discuss what I've read, and I heartily appreciate a good philosophical argument. Extracurricularly, I write musicals, one of which premiered at Yale last year, and attend Yale Political Union meetings to debate the pros and cons of various fiscal and social policies until the crack of dawn.

I enjoy helping people learn and thrive. I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Education and a Master's Degree in Special Education. Since teaching for over 19 years, I've learned that there are many styles of learning and that earning can be a lot of fun.

I predominately tutored biology, chemistry, anatomy and physiology, and English. I prefer to guide my student instead of forcing our session(s) according to my own ideals. I am here to help my student's knowledge base and understanding flourish. I desire to foster a community of learning, where students' thoughts and opinions have as much...

...on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities that will last into college and their career. Unwilling to compromise my love for language or my affinity for math and problem solving, I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Computational Linguistics, the interface between computer science and human language. Fluent in...

...to look. Helping students conquer these subjects (and become "math people") by identifying and breaking down the methodology is very rewarding. My philosophy for tutoring has always been: Some people teach to the test. Others teach to the book. I teach to the individual. Outside of tutoring my hobbies include yoga, biking, hiking, drawing, crafts, dancing (ballet and salsa are my favorite right now), French cinema, reading (magazines, novels, history), and occasionally skiing.

I also love reading as...

I believe that only through practice will you master the skills needed to succeed and excel in your school work or on the standardized test you are preparing for. I have worked very hard throughout my (very long) education and training, but I have also enjoyed learning at every stop along the way. I will work hard to help you achieve your academic goals...

...I have taught many different age groups during my past years in high school. I used to be a teacher assistant at Sunday School, I tutored middle school students in English and Math, and I assisted other high school students study for standardized tests at my local test prep school.

I then became an undergraduate teaching assistant for physics classes in college, helping students out with group work during class and holding my own weekly office hours.
