...tutor, during which time I helped students ages 3-17 with math ranging from basic arithmetic to pre-calculus. My favorite math topic is algebra, particularly because of its usefulness in solving real-world word problems. In addition to mathematics, I find joy in teaching/elucidating Shakespeare to high-school students. As a classically trained actor, I find it fun to tackle Shakespeare’s dense texts from a performance and character-driven perspective. In my spare time, I enjoy vegan baking and...

By working problems out with my students, I am able to help them if and when they get stuck. I hope to convey to every student the ability to think logically and persevere when things seem difficult. Outside of math and tutoring, I am a huge sports fan and novel reader. Since I...

Even if a few years from now, you cannot quite remember how to graph an equation, at one point you thought through how to present information in a form that is easier to visually interpret.

...In the past, I have helped students achieve significant improvements and success on the SAT, SHSAT, Regents and other exams! I truly believe education is a mutual learning and teaching opportunity and enjoy helping my students achieve a thorough understanding (those "Aha!" moments) and appreciation of whatever they choose to study! In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and enjoy biking, skateboarding, dancing, and philosophizing in my spare time.

Jesica: SAT Math course instructor
...working as a tutor since I was thirteen for mathematics and I love every minute of it. I like tackling new mathematics and helping students view their work at different angles that might help them come to an understanding of the subject. Being able to do math, not just arithmetic, is an ability that every student has and I believe that together we can figure out how to let that ability shine.... I believe that all students can be good at math; they just need a push in the right direction. I believe students learn better when they find the approach that works best for them, even if it might not be exactly how the curriculum wants them to approach it. By gaining a basic understanding, I believe that students can more easily adapt and learn the patterns that the curriculum wants them to adapt to and understand.

There is no such thing as a bad student. There are only unmotivated ones and it is a teacher and tutor's responsibility to motivate them to learn.... Get to know them to figure out what they like and how they prefer to learn something.
