I'm a recent college graduate with a passion for learning and helping others. I believe strongly in positivity, strength affirmation, and collaboration. I believe that learning can and should be fun!

...but I also have extensive experience working with reading and writing in terms of the standardized testing. I like to think that my teaching style varies widely between students, as I try my best to mold my plan around who I'm teaching. However, you'll often find me explaining not only how to understand a concept but its significance and role in the world, as I've found it's easier to remember something if you know its...

I am currently a sophomore at New York University studying Mathematics. Math and science have always fascinated me due to their application towards everyday technology. Along with economics, these are my favorite subjects to tutor because they involve concrete answers deeply rooted in logic. As a tutor, I strive to help students better understand complex problems and develop problem-solving skills. This mindset is obviously crucial for tests, but it also helps students develop analytical techniques...

I have tutored the GRE, GMAT, and LSAT exams for students who were candidates for graduate school, and have worked with students taking the NTE and NYSTCE exams to earn New York State teacher certification.

...and writing tutor. After graduating in from McGill University with a BA in History and Political Science, I was hired as an editor for SparkNotes. At SparkNotes I distill works of literature for high school and college students every day. I am comfortable with and enjoy working with students from middle school through college. Outside of tutoring, I enjoy reading, running, dressmaking, and visiting New York City's historic landmarks. I look forward to tutoring you!

...While these are the subjects most students dread, I find that this is where a good tutor can induce the most "Ah ha!" moments because there are so many patterns that can help you ace that test if you know where 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....

...Comprehension and History. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that meeting students at their level is most important for information retention and gaining an appreciation of a skill or subject. For example, if a young student hates to read novels but loves comic books I will work comic books into their reading time to get them to appreciate reading at all. I am a firm believer in the power of education to...

...as a teacher's assistant and it deepened my passion for education (as well as my passion for flan). When I got back to the US, I decided I wanted to try some other fields before I committed to education. I worked for two and a half years as Spanish-English medical interpreter helping Spanish-speaking patients communicate with their doctors. After that, I worked for an immigration lawyer. Both of these jobs were incredible experiences, but I...

...like seeing how elated students are when their hard work begins to pay off, and their test scores rise. I believe that individualization of instruction is crucial to academic success because students are able to get targeted feedback on their own strengths and weaknesses, not the entire class's strengths and weaknesses. I also seek to be personally approachable to students because when there is a divide between tutor and tutoree, I do not believe that...

...with my students while committing to doing hard work together. Finding this equilibrium is important for getting a gage early on as to what method(s) of learning will work best for the student. Considering we are amidst a pandemic and students' normal study habits may be compromised, I strive to be sensitive to each student's situation and accommodate accordingly. In my spare time I enjoy reading, practicing yoga, and listening to music.

...interests and academic needs in order to best assess how they interacted with material. Rather than explain a problem the same way to every student, for instance, I looked for multiple approaches and helped my students understand which made the most sense for them. I also considered their personal background and interests to ensure that they would have the most positive learning experience possible, regardless of how they felt about the content we covered. In...
