...a young Ivy League college graduate who started her degree at only 16 years old, I too, encountered a lot of problems. But I came to learn, fortunately early, that the lack of an effective learning strategy is typically 80% of your problem. Getting to this strategy, however, is different for every individual-- it is not something you can simply google or watch a tutorial for. It takes time and effort. I put a high-emphasis...

Receiving a classical education has helped me develop skills in rhetoric, logical thinking, and writing. While I enjoy tutoring all enthusiastic students, reading comprehension, writing, and...

...a Minor in Mathematics from Northeastern University. I tutor all subjects related to computer science and software development/engineering. I also tutor Chess. I think the most important part of teaching is helping students find the same passion that I have - whether that be for software development, chess, or any other subject. Outside of tutoring I am interested in sports and physical activity. I used to compete in Mogul Skiing and still enjoy skiing whenever...

...mind is only able to absorb new information on basis of past experience. 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 avid Game of Thrones fan, and a basketball...

...(MA program) and New York University (PhD program). My subjects include reading, writing, and literature. If you are looking for a tutor because you are taking a standardized test such as the GRE, GMAT, or SAT, I can help you with the verbal sections and with general test-taking strategies.

My results: Most recently, a student I worked with credited me with helping her get a 98...

...a lifelong interest in math, which I was able to further develop with extra-curricular enrichment. One of the largest advantages of private tutoring is the increased engagement and attention between the student and material. I believe that fostering a love of mathematics is possible in any student and would be thrilled to help students both improve and become more excited about the subject. I was diagnosed with executive functioning issues while a high-school student, but...

...at this point. In order to motivate my students I employ various tactics to differentiate my instruction. Firstly, it is vital that students can relate to the subject which they are struggling with; otherwise it becomes tedious and irrelevant for them to learn. History is a topic which lends itself to being able to draw parallels to modern day society. By using comparisons to my students lives I am able to engage them in the...

...life!" Teaching has always been my passion and I am so happy for the opportunity to assist students both in the classroom and in more private tutoring sessions. I pride myself in being an understanding and approachable instructor and love when students have questions for me, but I am always happy to take charge and guide the direction of my students' learning if they aren't sure where they'd like to begin. This means that whether...
