In the same way, I approach my students not as an authority figure, but rather as someone who has been in their proverbial shoes. With this mindset, I care deeply about my students' well-being as individual human beings, not as mere test-takers or information absorbers. Outside of academics, I am a sound engineer, an...

I am an experienced tutor and teacher in a wide variety of subjects who specializes in student-centered, personalized learning.... I believe you need to meet students where they are, match your teaching style to their personal interests, and let them have a role in setting their goals. Learning is something a student does with a teacher's help, not something a teacher does to a student.... Ask them what they like and don't like about the subject,...

...Public Schools. During graduate school, having scored in the 98th percentile with a perfect writing score, I became certified to teach the GMAT by a private test preparation company, and taught that test to several small classes in Manhattan and Brooklyn. I am in the process of launching a small business. So in my spare time, I want to continue connecting to students by tutoring various subjects from math to English to test prep. As...

After graduation, I worked as a private tutor with a fourth grade girl and a middle school boy--we worked on English, Math, Science, and Social Studies together, working from the Common Core curriculum.

...tutoring experiences thus far. I have worked with students of all ages and each time has been rewarding in a different manner. The most rewarding part of the tutoring and teaching experience, especially for English, is watching an idea and a concept develop. Being able to help students make the connections needed in order to fully develop their idea is one of my favorite feelings. I hope to work with as many of you as...

...Prior to my time in Iowa, I attended the University of Chicago and earned a Masters in English Literature with a focus on the long 18th century and Romanticism (so think Byron, Shelley, Frankenstein, and Jane Austen). My undergrad degree is from Boston College, and I graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa majoring in English and Theater Arts. I also spent a semester in England on a Shakespeare scholarship where I studied at...

As a psychology major, I focus on the development of the mind and its connection to the emotions that we use to learn. Understanding the process of learning from a psychological perspective gives me an advantage in my ablility to tutor. I am able to identify where each student meets their challenges, to then apply the best accurate teaching techniques to help them achieve their highest potential academic goal.

I look forward to...

...the SAT and ACT exams. With each student I encourage them to consider the problem in new ways and to think outside of their comfort zone. I believe that doing so is imperative to the learning process, whether we are working on a difficult problem or trying to begin a college essay.
