...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.

...adolescents; while I am capable of tutoring a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Writing, History, and Literature. I believe in the intellectual potential of every student, and have observed that a great many obstacles in a student's educational journey can be overcome through a personal and case-by-case approach on the part of the teacher or tutor. I also believe that early educational success is the foundation for lifetime achievement and...

...have learned from working with kids that every student is unique and special in their own way, and thus tutoring should be individualized to address the specific needs and interests of each particular student.

Everyone has a voice that they can channel into writing, and I want to...
