...achieve the highest scores they are capable of.  I work with students to identify the subject areas they need to improve on and the testing strategies that work best for them individually. My liberal arts education exposed me to a great diversity of different learners, and helped me understand the many different learning styles that students have. I have consequently developed an adaptable teaching style to fit this variety of students’ needs. My personal favorite...

...ability to analyze information and produce thoughtful, concise literary constructions. My experience successfully maneuvering through the American pre-college standardized and Advanced Placement (AP) testing complexes familiarized me with the organizational skills and learning techniques useful to increase scores.

...well as a range of math levels. I am also available for SAT, PSAT, and ACT prep. I have ample experience with academic writing, so I can work with students through many different types of assessments.

...a PhD Linguist, I have a solid understanding of phonetics, second language acquisition, and cross-linguistic differences. I am also experienced with training students for American standardized tests including the SAT, ACT and GRE. These tests require endurance and confidence as well as fundamental skills, which means that all these components have to be learned, practiced, and nurtured equally for a student to achieve a truly excellent score. At the Yale Autism Clinic, I have worked...

...subject, and help write lab reports. I am comfortable tutoring students of any age and at any speed. I can go as slow as the student needs to, and I excel at teaching through explanations of why to help give a solid understanding of the topic rather than just feeding information to memorize. I like to read, especially fantasy, and I enjoy drawing, graphic design, and going to the beach on my spare time. I...

...love helping students develop problem solving strategies, which is why mathematical subjects are my favorite to tutor. I believe that it is important to think like a problem solver, which means that students need to understand the "why" behind the equations rather than just memorizing them. When students struggle in math, it is often because they are trying to learn through rote memorization rather than by gaining a deep understanding of the topic. My goal...

...of tutoring myself as a high school student, I know firsthand the value that dedicated, passionate, and informed tutors can bring to students. I consider much of my academic success to be the result of great tutoring I've received in the past. I've enjoyed tutoring recently because it's a welcomed respite from the world of startups, and I love seeing students "click" when they've gotten past a mental roadblock, or discovered they could do something...

...my approach to tutoring, I enjoy learning about the individual; not only the student. In order to understand the educational needs of each student, I must first understand each person. I enjoy using culturally relevant pedagogy to ensure that my enrichment is useful and can be applied to daily education. I expect nothing but the best for all of the scholars under my tutelage. Within everyone lies the ability to learn, but first we must...

...am incredibly passionate about science and math, and I always love to share my knowledge and enthusiasm with my students. My teaching style includes building a strong foundation of the topic of difficulty through implementing diagrams, real-world examples and of course many practice problems into my lessons. During my free time, I enjoy playing tennis, cooking up a storm in the kitchen and like any millennial, I always enjoy chilling at home watching a good...

...I could ask why they thought that way. I could show the student how they should question the material by asking them the types of questions they needed to ask. To me, this is the core of teaching towards understanding - teaching a student how to continue teaching themselves. There is a time and place for lectures and so-called information dumps. The real work for the student and the teacher, though, comes from the dialogue...

Pleasure to meet you. I will try to provide you the best tutoring service possible.

I work and live in New York City. I grew up in Knoxville, TN and went to the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied economics and political science.

Throughout 30 years I've written: journalism pieces, essays, business proposals, speeches, public relations materials as well as short stories, poems, lyrics, and fiction. I bring a wealth of real-world experience to the classroom, emphasizing the origin of creation, using many sources of knowledge. Everyone has a story to tell from rapper or spray paint artist to parent or child. Each person has a unique voice to...

...personality. There is no doubt that the academic portfolio of any student is their strongest asset in terms of career-building, and I am incredibly enthusiastic about helping people get there. As 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...
