...peer writing tutor at Middlebury in the fall. I have a passion for the humanities (especially writing) and languages, and I hope to share that with my students. Despite struggling with math and science throughout middle and high school, I declared my major in neuroscience because of how fascinated and challenged I was by the subject. I wish to inspire more students to appreciate the challenges that can arise when learning something new, and finding...

I've always had a passion for teaching, and currently teach pre-college math with Columbia University's Community Impact program, for non-traditional adult learners.

...time in college, I was lucky to spend a semester studying in South Africa at the University of Cape Town and return to the country the next summer to conduct independent research. After graduating from Duke, I accepted an international teaching position with WorldTeach. I was very grateful for the experience to live on the island of Pohnpei in the Federated States of Micronesia for a year and teach reading and writing to high school...

...equations rather than just memorizing them. When students struggle in math, it is often because they are trying to learn through rote memorization rather than by gaining a deep understanding of the topic. My goal is to help students attain this understanding. Incidentally, most standardized exams also test students' problem solving skills; they often need to apply information they know in a new and creative way. My tutoring strategy therefore works well with standardized tests,...

I am a recent graduate of Columbia University currently working as a freelance writer and tutor while also maintaining a part-time job as a foreign sub-editor at "The Viet Nam News" as a Princeton in Asia fellow. I have benefited from the privilege of good teachers throughout my life, and I believe that the best way to account for that privilege is to do my best to be a good teacher to others.

When I'm not tutoring or on deadline, you can find me with my guitar in the...

The world is not going to end if you do not get a perfect score. A perfect score should simply be a goal to strive towards. I believe in making mistakes. The best way to learn is to correct and review mistakes. This ensures that fewer and fewer errors are made in subsequent performances. Practice and discipline will lead to perfection. Those who do not learn from their mistakes are destined to repeat them.... It's okay...

...I was passionate about communicating that love to others. Throughout college I volunteered my time as a tutor at a local middle school and acted as an assistant teacher in my dance department. In the year since graduating, I've only become more sure about my desire to pursue a career in education. My first love is reading and writing, so I set out to become an English tutor. I worked for MeriEducation, a Los Angeles...

...calculus. I have privately tutored elementary through high school students in these areas of study, as well as algebra, trigonometry and geometry. However, my academic interests are not limited to math and science. My true academic passion is for French language and literature, which is my second major at my university.

...unique. Keep in mind though that even though the idea sounds simple, it takes years and years of experience to master. After teaching for a while, I realized something important within myself. While some may view teaching as a "job," I personally see it as a way to express my passion. In other words, I don't see teaching as a simple career but rather a way of life that I cannot do without. Therefore, I...
