I got my degree in Physics with a minor in Political Science from Wheaton College in MA. I tutor Physics, Calculus, some Computer Science, Latin, and Writing. I particularly enjoy tutoring Writing because I spend most of my time these days writing anyways. I would describe my tutoring style as very dynamic and example-driven. I'm pretty good at coming up with exercises and methods on the fly, which has served me well so far.

...the peer tutoring program at my high school. Being a private school we were more like extra teachers than usual peer tutors. We helped with lesson plans, graded work, and tests. I even was involved in picking the new Algebra 2 Text Books for the school. As such I bring a unique look behind the curtain of high school education to my tutoring work. Through this program, I tutored Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, Pre-Calculus,...

I graduated from Summa Cum Laude Brandeis University with degrees in Chemistry and Biology, which provided me with a deep understanding of these subjects. I also conducted a research project in the field of Chemical Biology that gave me an integrated and "non-textbook" understanding of these subjects, as well as Mathematics. Whatever you are hoping to...

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

I have always had a special interest in education and activism. Especially in my field, being so intertwined with political science...

...Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant, and as an Actuary, and have a particular passion for teaching Mathematics. When tutoring I try to include visualizations and real world examples whenever I can so that it does not feel like a fruitless exercise. I help students reach their goals with a two-pronged approach: reinforcing and building upon strengths while targeting weaknesses. In my free time I exercise, play the piano and volunteer with the Jewish Vocational Service.

...as test prep. I've been teaching in some capacity since I was in high school; first tutoring peers in math and science through National Honor Society, then providing more informal one-on-one help to fellow students at MIT. I've also worked extensively teaching swim lessons for the past five years, particularly to beginners. Both in and out of the pool, I believe that a good lesson is one where the student is doing the thinking. I...

I am very flexible in my teaching, adapting to student discoveries and questions in addition to alternating styles of teaching. I know that every learner is different and so I find ways to help all of my students, no matter how they learn best.

...but from a lack of individualized teaching. I know this because I was one of those students who processed information differently from my classmates. Since everyone has different ways of thinking, teachers in a classroom cannot compensate for every individual. However, I will work with students to teach them individually in a way that makes sense to them. Outside of tutoring and studying, you'll most likely see me on the soccer field. As a goalkeeper...

...I actively participated in three tutoring programs at my high school and was appointed through my academic performance. Almost all math subjects, especially Algebra and Calculus, are really enjoyable for me to tutor because I love sharing my experiences and seeing students gain confidence in their abilities!
