I am one of two authors of the all-new revision of Barrons GMAT guide and Barrons Passkey to the GMAT, and have previously written content for Kaplan, Parliament Tutors, and Success Prep.

Helping students to achieve their academic goals has been my lifelong passion. I have over 25 years of experience tutoring students of all ages, from elementary school to graduate school. I have also been a standardized test prep tutor for several organizations, including most recently Kaplan. Finally,...

...understand material because the teacher will only teach one way to approach the problem. However, when these students were shown other methods, or had the concepts explained in a different way, they understood it! I love helping other students work through problems in order to further develop their understanding of the material. My extracurriculars growing up, such as ballet and violin, taught me how important it is to mold teaching styles around each student rather...

...learn to throw a perfect knuckleball, because that pitch has always fascinated me. I teach because it's meaningful work; no one's life was made measurably or permanently better when I was serving pizzas. Teaching, though, can have a lasting impact. I am where I am and even who I am because of my teachers: Lindsey J. taught me how to think; Deborah B. taught me how to write; Paul B. taught me the vast possibilities...

...close to settling on a subject. I've taught everything from graduate level economics to elementary school reading to test prep to music composition. I've taught businessmen, teenagers, and a classroom full of 10 year olds. And I've gotten results every time. I strongly believe in the power of personalized education, tailored for the individual student and human being. When I'm not tutoring, I spend most of my time on my two indie rock bands, in...

...problems I can review or teach the necessary concepts to the student, then go back and help the student solve the problems correctly. I love the help students understand concepts they struggled with previously! I think a lot of dislike among students for math and science comes from a lack of understanding of the subject. Besides tutoring I also love music, specifically singing and playing the piano. I also enjoy playing sports such as volleyball,...

...I am confident that my personal experiences taking the ACT, SAT and various AP courses in high school not only helped me teach my student but also relate to him. I understand how demanding AP courses can be and know what it takes to succeed in them.

...teacher's assistant at a home and school for severely autistic children ages 9-14, and worked on overcoming communicative barriers to foster interpersonal connections. I have also tutored multiple children with learning disabilities. In my experience, getting students engaged is just about finding the strategy that works best for them. That may mean we have to try multiple approaches, or approaches that I don't prefer, but I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve...

...While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about accounting and math. While a grad student, I was a TA. All students that visited me in office hours received a higher score on their second exam than on their first exam. I have always said accounting is like a foreign language, and once you have a solid foundation, you can apply it everywhere. I have a passion for teaching, and I...

Making it understandable and easy for the student is my goal, no matter if the subject is Calculus, Chemistry, Spanish or English.

I tutor subjects in many different ways until it is understood well by the student. I look forward to working...

...subjects typically present theoretical concepts, these concepts can be easily learned because many others have learned them too. The concepts also have real-world application. I utilize current events to clarify course concepts and give students a reference point for those concepts. For me, it is also important that my students not only learn the course concepts for the sake of passing tests and submitting good papers. But, it is equally important that they are motivated...

...eyes of a student light up as the "I get it" moment happens. It is when the defeat turns to ability in their minds and it is fantastic. I have taught in middle school, high school and college settings. Classes taught have varied through the years, including Physical Science, Algebra I, Algebra II, Physics, Chemistry, and Bible. I believe the key to tutoring is in understanding the student. Each of us learns and communicates differently....

...While coaching teachers is my role, I never stopped tutoring because there's nothing like hearing my kids shout "Ohhhhh!" after doing math they never thought they could handle. I think most kids struggle in math because they think they can't memorize all the steps. I work hard to help students find strategies that make sense to them. When my students see that there are so many ways to get to the answer, they become mathematicians....

I've always loved helping people, even my friends when we were in the same classes. It brings me a lot of satisfaction when I help a student feel more confident in what they are learning. It is so rewarding when I am able to relieve the stigma of certain subjects, especially math, in order for a student to perform well. I hope my work with different students is able to promote the importance of education!

...years of tutoring experience with your student. Although my favorite subject is physics, I have enjoyed working with elementary school through college age students in a wide range of subjects. As my BA hints, I have earned a liberal arts education at a rigorous and stimulating institution, where critical thinking is the first priority. I believe your student will benefit as I have from learning how to approach any problem. This flexibility is, in my...

...my undergraduate career, I've tutored a multitude of students, primarily in a one-on-one setting. In the past, I've been certified to teach chemistry and physics classes by a prestigious test preparation company. I absolutely love teaching mathematics, chemistry and physics. But unfortunately, these are subjects that a lot of students have real difficulty in. I've discovered that I have a knack for explaining difficult mathematical/physical science concepts, so that virtually anyone can understand the material...
