I have helped many others increase their SAT performance significantly within a short amount of time by thoroughly breaking down the exam material. I enjoy working...

...The LSAT in particular I even found fun. Okay, maybe not the reading comprehension section, but the logic sections shouldn't be a chore to study! Fueled by my overseas teaching experience (where my 6-year old students knew very little English), I have a strong ability to communicate in the most basic terms possible, quickly turning complicated problems into solvable ones. A self-identifying nerd, my childhood obsession with Harry Potter has grown into an adulthood obsession....

I am a firm believer in "practice makes perfect". Practice and large amounts of exposure is the only way to succeed in a subject, so I will go over a topic multiple times if necessary. I will not skim over areas that any students may potentially have...

...in subjects from Spanish to Geometry to SAT Prep. I have a special knack for cracking standardized tests, and I find it very rewarding to help demystify them by teaching students to recognize common strategies used to confuse test-takers. In my 8 years of tutoring, I have found the "supported challenge" model of engagement is effective for students from elementary through high school. I love to learn, and I draw on that enthusiasm to get...

As leisure, I watch a few T.V. shows that interest me and play video games. However, I mainly play sports such as basketball and volleyball and I’m very passionate about both sports because these sports teach many eternal lessons that I will carry through my life such as teamwork and dedication.

...fun, if teachers think outside the box and really challenge themselves to find novel ways of conveying concepts to students. Tried and true methods are always great in the classroom, but to work one-on-one with students requires a different approach. It's also critical that learning be something students want, not grudgingly sit through, so that their academic success is tied to their ability to understand and engage the material, not to what score they get...

...in her. Her goal was to get a 65 on the regents so she could pass the ninth grade. (I always tell my students that their goal should be 100, but that is just me!) I always thought math was fun, so that is how I make my students feel about it. She told me that it felt like time was flying by and I even caught her once saying, “Wow this is fun.” A...
