...at a young age. I helped my siblings succeed in classes where they had uninspired or overburdened teachers. I've tutored in a wide variety of subjects, from college chemistry to middle school algebra.

My favorite moments during tutoring sessions are when students truly connect with the...

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring.

Former tutoring clients tell me that I have been a calming influence during...

...to a wide range of SAT prep that is not available on the internet as well as extensive experience with tutoring the SAT specifically, improving students' scores by as much as 400. 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...

...struggled in math never built a strong foundation. They have struggled previously in a building block of a topic they are currently trying to master. I make sure my students understand and practice every concept before being bombarded with new information. My goal for my students is to show consistent progress with their scores. I believe learning should be fun. Math tends to give students anxiety on its own. So I have a tendency to...

I particularly loved helping with 826's Personal Statement Weekend, helping students craft a compelling college essay. I believe that all students have a story to tell, whether it's...

I make sure that most of the time I am asking questions, even if it is basic, just to get the student to always be on his/her feet.
