...creole to ever be created. Through the inspiration of languages before it, English offers us an advanced understanding of our history, and propels us toward our future. In 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...

...a "generalist." I get a great deal of pleasure from empowering students to discover new perspectives and understand new things. I believe that everyone can learn and that we all learn in different ways, at different speeds, and with different goals and results.

...Jersey districts (Middletown, Old Bridge, and North Brunswick), I raised four children of my own. Even with this hectic schedule, I found time to become a published author, and I co-wrote a book about baseball (one of my passions) which was published in 1992. Besides writing and following baseball, my favorite activities include reading (especially James Joyce), watching films (especially from the 1950s), and listening to music (especially jazz from 1927-1963). I also find plenty...

...Dr. Carol Dweck's "growth mindset," and strongly feel that any student can succeed at what they really want--if they have access to the right tools. My goal is to help students find those tools so they can use them effectively and independently in the future. My primary experience has been in reading, writing, various kinds of science, and the arts, but I am happy to research and help students with other subjects as well!

...better understand my strengths and how I can become a better teacher as a whole. In terms of my favorite subjects to tutor, I would have to say that it is art history. I have come to realize that I cannot even look at an old building without launching into a full-blown lecture! If anything, I think these impromptu mini-lessons represent my genuine passion for not only teaching, but teaching others about what I love.

I'm a strong advocate for creating individualized educational plans that are suited to best meet each student's needs. As a child, I struggled with getting ideas from my head to the page, overcame that challenge, and was named "most improved" by my high...

...age or subject at hand, I try to bring a sense of process and purpose to my sessions, creating original lesson plans to supplement class materials. My ideal session ends with a student understanding not only individual problems, but also connecting concepts to other coursework, feeling confident about the class or material in the future. Outside of my current job in financial media and my evenings tutoring, I'm training for a half Ironman. I also...

As a native New Yorker growing up here, I attended Hunter College High School and the Brearley School, so I know how important test prep is!

I believe that every student has the...

Outside of academia, I am also a USCF competitive chess player, and have gone to chess...

...degree in philosophy and I've been in Chicago for two years working with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights on voting and democracy issues. I scored well on my standardized tests (LSAT, ACT, AP Tests-5 on eleven different tests) and like helping other people do the same.
