...had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one. We worked together for some time, but some of his characteristics were not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected an intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my success.

As of late, my reading mostly consists of Christian theology (Thomas Aquinas and the various Ancient Church...

As a junior/senior, I also helped prepare students for PSAT/SAT & SAT subject tests as a recommended peer tutor through my school's guidance department (ages 15-17).

...tutoring mainly graduate test prep, particularly the GMAT, but I can tutor any college subject materials as well (mainly in Math, Statistics, and any business subjects).

If...

...any skill or problem can be broken down into small steps and tackled bit by bit. This makes hard problems far less scary and produces steady reward for the solver. My role in your study will be to help you find the small components in a problem and tackle each one, and provide a patient voice of encouragement for you. If you practice solving any kind of problem this way, eventually you won't believe that...

Since I've been in intense academic settings for a lot of my life (Stuyvesant High School, University of Chicago, and now Columbia University), I always try to be a personable and positive figure with my tutees, because I understand what it's like at that age to have so much stress put upon you to improve your scores by X amount of points, and I want...
