...instruction and homework assignments, yielding a 20% increase in class participation, and higher grades over three years. The Why Do We Read This? literature and pop culture podcast, which I co-hosted from September 2019 to March 2020, grew from World Literature lesson plans at Baruch College. The 14 episodes I contributed to have served as a learning aide since 2019 (ENG2800/ENG2850). Lastly, my LAS101: Introduction to Latin American Studies lesson plans at Pace University inspired...

...themselves elegantly and powerfully, whether in an academic or personal sense. I work to solve problems through a creative lens, so students can learn that there is not always just one way to work through difficult concepts, but that there is also an art to learning that can be extremely rewarding if you are given the tools to be confident in yourself and your work. It can be extremely difficult for students to thrive academically...

I've always enjoyed working with kids and making learning engaging, encouraging, and even fun!

I can't wait to get started with you!

I am a student at Tufts University studying Peace and Justice Studies and Sociology. I have a variety of experience tutoring K-12 students in all academic subjects. I strongly believe that each student learns differently. Therefore, I ensure that my teaching skills are adjusted so that they are an ideal fit for each student I tutor.... Every student is capable of success! They must simply discover the best methods of learning and teaching that work for...

...me that not all students learn the same way, but that all students can learn--and enjoy learning--with the right approach for them. Even prepping for standardized tests becomes rewarding when students start to see results. In my spare time I enjoy reading (of course), crossword puzzles, photography, running, and playing with my dog, who I am trying to teach to run with me (he refuses to read or do crosswords, but poses nicely for photos).

...interested in ethics, and part of my value system is a strong belief in the transformative power of knowledge and wisdom. I aim to one day become a professor of philosophy (particularly ethics), and I am currently in the process of preparing for a joint JD/PhD in Philosophy. Consequently, I am interested in both theoretical and applied ethics. One of my core talents is the ability to convey concepts in multiple ways, and I like...

...ACT, SAT, or MCAT. This includes Biology, Psychology, Anatomy, Physiology, and more! I work with students to develop effective study methods that work best for the ways in which they learn. The key is to not only learn information, but to retain it. I also enjoy working with young students who may need help with reading, writing, science, and pre-algebra. My tutoring sessions will give students the practice and understanding needed to excel in their...

...add up to where I am today, a graduate of New York University. I have the power to affect change and share the truth in the most unbiased fashion possible. And now I wish to share the impact that English and writing has had on my life with others. Whether this means helping students with college essays or just proofreading assignments, a grasp on the English language has affected me greatly and now I wish...

...them support it with evidence that's laid out in a compelling, causal structure. Focusing on causal transitions between paragraphs is a skill rarely taught in secondary education, but often expected at the college level. I learned this the hard way. But my years of writing-intensive tutorial classes at Williams College, combined with my professional experience as a theater director and script editor, have provided me with a range of strategies to help students see their...

...date I had signed up for, I had been doing test preparation for months, and had gotten a PSAT score of 1100 in October of my Sophomore Year of high school. I currently have a 3.5 GPA here at Montclair, and although I perform in all of my classes, my strong suits are Psychology and English. Although I have specific strengths, I am willing to help with anything a student is looking for assistance with!

...help each individual understand concepts across a variety of subjects. Each area of study often requires different approaches to best understand new and recurring recurring concepts. My teaching style is focused on first understanding how a student learns best and then working on specific questions, problems, or curriculums with this perspective in mind. Outside of academia I love to cook, to play soccer, and am currently learning how to skateboard. Let's learn together!

...I can better fashion my teaching style to their needs. Are they struggling with organization? Focus? Or is it simply a comprehension issue? I then design the pace and style of my approach to best suit their needs. My domains of expertise include reading comprehension, writing, literature, and ESL. As a writer, I find great joy in teaching others how to analyze, express, and organize their thoughts in compelling, persuasive essays. In addition to my...

I work with students and parents to tailor lessons to make sure they're learning in their own best pace and style.

...favorite subject to tutor is English Literature, particularly Shakespeare. I try and use a philosophy that encourages discussion and conversation in a constructive way. On top of actual paper practice, such as problem sets or essay writing, I feel that it is very important to have a dialogue and discuss where the student is feeling strong and where they are feeling weak. The more we can talk and get to know each other, the more...

...break things down to their fundamentals and learn from the bottom up, so that it's easier to see how all the pieces of a topic fit together. A ten page paper might seem intimidating, until you break it down into a list of bullet points and ideas. Patience is a virtue and I exercise it dutifully. I'm comfortable tutoring all ages; a bit of empathy can span even decades, I believe. In my free time,...

...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. Those tests are all beatable, and I think they can even be kind of fun once you start to feel yourself mastering them. Plus, it's rewarding to see my students' scores improve, which is almost guaranteed with the right kind...

...four years (while also teaching elementary visual arts in the fourth year). During this time, I was the primary first grade Math curriculum planner for my school, as well as a lead planner for first through second grade guided reading. While I can tutor a broad range of subjects and students, my absolute favorite subject to teach is English, including both Reading and Writing, mostly because I find this subject to just be so enjoyable....
