...in Finance and a BS in Civil Engineering. I believe the most important thing when tutoring students is demonstrating that they can conquer the subject material at hand. As a tutor I believe it is my job to not only help the student with the specific coursework they requested but also address underlying issues with study habits or test taking strategies if applicable and desired. Every student deserves tutoring sessions that are personalized to account...

...My goal in my classroom and with the students I tutor is to help every student master their subject matter in the quickest / most efficient way possible. As educators, it doesn't make sense to give a student a fish but rather to teach them to fish for themselves. For this reason, I believe there are two types of students: those who make excuses and those who find a way. I believe in the power...

...of grammar, and the events of history are the way they are, and by lifting the curtain on the intricacies of the subject matter. I believe that learning is, and ought to be, for its own sake. Math and philosophy, and their nuanced interactions, are my great passions. I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on...

Prior to the University of Connecticut Physics class I taught AP Physics. On a personal level, I have a busy life style that enjoys...

...them as subjects. My Goal as a tutor is to demystify both and introduce young learners their fascinating history! Completing a physics major at Hampshire College, a college famous for its unorthodox teaching style, I garnered a strong understanding of how to interest my non-mathematical peers with complex scientific subjects. Many undergraduates, fresh out of high school, have developed a strong distaste for the exact sciences, often a consequence of having never been introduced to...

...ease. I want to help them gain confidence in the subjects where they lack it the most. I recently graduated from High School and am currently on track to get my Mechanical Engineering degree from UConn. As my major implies, I love mathematics and science, as those have always been my strong points, and thus, I love to teach other people in these subjects. I am also particularly skilled when it comes to the SAT,...

...pursuing an Electrical Engineering B.S. Degree and am on the way to (hopefully) obtaining my Math PhD! I'm most passionate when teaching students about Math and Spanish using a bunch of tricks up my sleeve that many teachers may not use. I know many (current) students struggle with these topics but I'm here to spice learning up a bit. Traveling across the East Coast recently has shown me how many different learning styles students have...

...ten years ago; that plus becoming the biggest fan of Tony Stark (Iron Man) led me to become an engineer and I haven't looked back since!
