I am a recent graduate of Brown University (2012- GPA 3.7) where I graduated with degrees in English Literature and Theatre Arts. I have always had a passion for teaching, first fostering this interest as a teacher's aid in my school's Lower School and as a camp counselor for a number of years. I also worked throughout high school as a teacher's aid at Temple Emmanuel's Sunday School Program in Northern New Jersey. Teaching and education continued to be an important part of my collegiate life as well. I believe strongly in the importance of the tutor-student bond, knowing that best results are only reached when there exists a mutual trust.My most rigorous tutoring experiences were at the college level at Brown University, where I worked as a Brown Writing Fellow. The BWF exist as a select group of students hired to act as writing mentors and editors for the Brown community, and as part of the program, each participant had to first participate in and complete a semester's long course in writing styles and approaches to editing. In 2012, I was awarded an AT&T New Media Fellowship, an award given to those students who show promise in the combination of writing and new media. My grant took me to Avignon, France where I produced a web-documentary (primarily photo, video, and essay coverage) of the Festival D'Avignon, an annual, international theatre festival. Currently, I am work as a freelance copy-editor with Write Bloody, a publishing company based in Austin, TX.I graduated from Saddle River Day School in 2008 as salutatorian and as a member of the Cum Laude National Honors Society. I was also the recipient of the Bradford Cooke Sommer Humanitarian Scholarship (2007) as well as the University of Rochester Bausch & Lomb Honorary Science Scholarship (2007). In regards to more specific subjects, I was an AP Scholar with Distinction having taken U.S. History, Calculus AB, Biology, Spanish Language, Spanish Literature, and English Literature.I am originally from northern New Jersey. As far as hobbies are concerned, I love Photography and travel writing. My favorite author (not a travel writer) is Virginia Woolf. At Brown, I also sang with a jazz a cappella group, The Higher Keys.

I have been an educator for 12 years and a lover of literature my entire life. As an educator, my favorite thing is to help someone understand how to find joy (or at least comfort) in reading and writing. I believe that these skills open the entire universe to a person, whether it be in a fictional realm or in the boardroom. I received my BS in English Education at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC, earned National Board Certification, and have recently completed a MS in Technical Communication through North Carolina State University in Raleigh, NC. I have spent my career working with students of all levels, including EC, Honors, and AP. I have also spent much time tutoring students to be successful on the verbal portion of the SAT. In my free time, I of course enjoy reading, but a close second would be traveling. I love a good road trip, and I'm also trying to expand my travels - hopefully going overseas soon!

Hello! I am a scientist at heart, but I am comfortable in teaching nearly all academic subjects. I have a BA and MS from the University of Connecticut where I majored in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, and minored in English. I spent several years working in various scientific research laboratories throughout University, and worked hard to ultimately publish my work in the Journal of Mammalogy in 2013. I began my teaching career upon entering Graduate school. I first taught biology laboratories at the University of Connecticut, and then went on to teach 6th and 7th grade Science in Hartford, CT one year later. I have recently moved to Sturbridge, MA, where I was hired as a tutor at The Grow School, and have now moved into a permanent substitute teacher position. I also, temporarily, spent two months teaching full-time in a third grade classroom. I am very knowledgeable and passionate about so many of the science fields, but also about teaching and learning. I have found teaching to be immensely rewarding, and I am confident I could help a person of any age to reach their true academic potential. Since my teaching background is diverse, regarding both age ranges and subjects, I have a suite of techniques for individualized learning. I am happy to find out what works best to help you learn!

Hello! I have my Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University and I am a Licensed Social Worker (LSW).I passed my ASWB exam the first time, and the tips and tricks I learned throughout studying will be beneficial as I tutor you to pass this exam and become a LSW. I have experience with tutoring students for this exam and through the tutoring sessions, these students were able to pass the exam. I have access to the Dawn Apgar book, as well as other resources such as pocket prep, Agents of Change, Raytube and a study guide that I created including different theories, ethics, tips and tricks, medication, program development, and more. All these tools will help me tutor you to pass the LSW exam and help lower your anxiety around the exam as well. It can be a nerve racking exam, so I am here to help you feel confident in your abilities to pass!Throughout my years, I have also worked with a variety of students which ranged from elementary school to college students. I have tutored students in a wide array of areas including Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Middle School Math, SAT Math, and Reading/Writing for elementary school and middle school students. I enjoy working with students and seeing the growth that they make with the time that I have with them. I am also able to put problems into perspective for students to understand easier and this will help them understand the concepts better both in math classes, as well as reading and writing courses.

I have been teaching for more than ten years and am proud to say that I have helped hundreds of students excel academically and prepare for standardized tests. I have a master's degree in education with a specific focus on curriculum development and designing assessments. I lived in Korea for about ten years after completing my undergraduate degree in Korean Studies back in the W. Bush administration.The LSAT plays an outsized role in law school admissions, and it is one of the only factors in the admissions process over which you have a lot of control. Every point can mean the difference between getting into your dream school, target school, or safety school. Even if you get into your dream school, the LSAT score you are admitted with will determine how much, if any, scholarship money you are awarded and how much debt you graduate with, if any.I scored 161 the first time I took the official LSAT. That score is not bad, but I felt I could do better if I could just get a hold of how the test makers designed their assessment. It took a lot of time and effort; I completed and reviewed every official LSAC PrepTest (PT) available-- from PT 1 through PT 92+ --at least once. Some might think this is "too much," but my mindset for tackling test preparation is to do whatever it takes, especially when it could mean the difference between receiving a full ride or having to pay the sticker price.In the end, when I took the LSAT again, I scored 175, in the top 0.5% of all test-takers.Below, I address each of the three section types and my personal experience with them, starting with how many questions I missed on average when I scored 161 and how many I missed on average when I scored 175.Logic Games (AR) [From -10 to -0]I had so much trouble with the logic games (Analytical Reasoning; AR) section. I could not seem to be able to finish all the games in time or consistently get all the questions for an entire game right until I came up with way of containing all the information in a consistent way that allowed me to iterate responses more naturally.Logical Reasoning (LR) [From -6 to -2/-1]With my background in philosophy and logic, I felt comfortable with many of the questions themselves, and my issues stemmed from being able to rule out answer choices quickly and consistently enough to be able to finish the section and stop doubting my answers. Improving on this section involved figuring out how to rule out answers effectively.Reading Comprehension (RC) [From -5 to -2/-1]My issues with RC were similar to LR. I had to find a method to rule out answer choices and interpret how the test makers wanted us to interpret the passage.Whether or not you choose to work with me on achieving your goals, I would like you to know that standardized tests are learnable. This is not an opinion; it is a fact. If you would like to find out how and why and how this relates to your own test-taking experience and outcomes, let's talk about it.

My educational philosophy is developed on the premise that all students can learn with an access to an equitable and responsive education. I firmly believe that teachers without a strong context of their students will never be as effective as they can be. True learning happens when a student's assets are utilized to build knowledge, and when they are able to form meaningful connections to information and knowledge they already possess. Having led the science department at my school for two years, I have developed a STEM-integrated curriculum that also aims to improve literacy and reading skills.After completing receiving my B.A. in Anthropology from the University of Minnesota in 2014, I was accepted into Teach for America- Twin Cities, where I have worked as a middle school science instructor for the last two years. Through a joint collaboration and enrollment into the University of Minnesota's Alternative Teaching Licensure Pathway Program, I received my M.Ed in Curriculum and Instruction in 2016. I am motivated in addressing the disparities in educational equity here in the Twin Cities, particularly for students of color and students of differing socio-economic backgrounds. I work to build strong relationships with students to determine the strengths and knowledge they bring to the table.

I have always been driven by my passion of contributing to positive educational growth. This has led me to pursue various civic engagement opportunities while studying social psychology at Bard College, as well as related social development projects at The New School for Public Engagement where I earned a Master's in Nonprofit Management. During my undergraduate study, I spent two summers in Qingdao, Northern China achieving fluency in Mandarin Chinese and researching early childhood behavior in Chinese preschools (Qingdao University). Subsequently, I spent one semester in Hong Kong engaging in a cross-cultural social psychology exchange program (Lingnan University).I am excited to work with students on subjects of my expertise: English, reading, writing, verbal SATS, regents exams, and Chinese Mandarin. I have served as a tutor to students of all ages, from kindergarten to first-year college students. What makes me a great tutor is my level of commitment and my genuine desire to see my students succeed.

I am a first-year student pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science at Harvey Mudd College. Throughout all four years of high school, I tutored my peers in subjects such as chemistry, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Passionate about sharing my learning with younger students in the community, I was also a primary instructor for the Kumon Math and Reading Center, where I spent three years teaching math and reading to students who ranged from pre-K to 12th grade. Additionally, as an assistant instructor for the Arizona Science Center's Camp Innovation, I empowered youth by delivering science programming to children between the ages of four and seven. Through such experiences, I've realized the impact that I can have as a tutor.In addition to helping students understand their classwork and improve their grades, I have the opportunity to build positive relationships, bring motivation to those in need of it, and most importantly, help others succeed after recognizing their potential. Although I tutor a wide range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are those related to math and science because I believe in the importance of building STEM literacy.In my free time, I enjoy hiking, drawing, playing my viola, listening to music, and traveling.

I have been teaching for 7 years. I have taught everything from Pre-K to college. I am a certified teacher in math 5-9, K-6, Reading, ESOL, and ESE. I teach a learning strategies class on a regular basis but I enjoy working with students of all ages. I focused on basic reading skills and phonics in my master's program. However, I am a math and science person at heart!I enjoying teaching people how to learn and helping them find out the way that they learn best. I focus a lot on strategies to help the students learn to be self-sufficient. I think organization and time management is very important. I provide step by step instruction and help the student learn how to break down problems to better tackle it and find the solution. I believe it is important to understand everyone learns differently and I enjoy helping others find the way that they learn best and learn how to use it to be successful.

I'm a recent college graduate with degrees in Biological Sciences and Russian from Ohio University. During my time there, I tutored students in a variety of subjects, including biology, chemistry, and Spanish. In addition, I worked as both a peer advisor and teaching assistant, which gives me insight into the learning strategies and study skills that students need to succeed. As a tutor, I like to focus on doing actual problems with students because it is the most effective way to immediately identify their strengths and weaknesses and to address them. In my free time, I like to lift weights, read books, and spend time with my friends.
