...the Stern/Tisch dual degree program, getting a BS in Business and a BFA in Film and Television. I've been tutoring since my sophomore year, including over Zoom for the past year. My main focus is test prep, where I focus on "gamification." I know it sounds crazy, but test prep really can be fun, and seeing it as a game can help scores improve dramatically and make studying less of a drag!

Lauren: Stamford SAT Subject Test in Literature course instructor
I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method.... Discuss their interests, what motivates them, and their goals. What do they want to get out of tutoring?... Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

My first attempt put me in the 97th percentile, and I've continued to study and refine my test-taking methods, treating LSAT questions like my daily crossword puzzle. I believe that learning is a process of mastering tiny skills that cumulatively add up to a grasp and control on the big picture. It's about...

...students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems....

I am a recent graduate from the University of Virginia with degrees in Spanish and Global Development Studies and a passion for literature and the arts. I couldn't be more excited to help New York area students thrive as I navigate my first few months in this incredible, swirling city.... I primarily believe in my students' intelligence and capacity to solve problems. Sometimes they need a supportive voice -- someone who can answer their questions and nudge them in the right direction -- but making them a partner in learning is the first step to helping them discover their academic potential.

...Civil Rights on voting and democracy issues. I scored well on my standardized tests (LSAT, ACT, AP Tests-5 on eleven different tests) and like helping other people do the same. Those tests are all beatable, and I think they can even be kind of fun once you start to feel yourself mastering them. Plus, it's rewarding to see my students' scores improve, which is almost guaranteed with the right kind of practice.... A great way to stay motivated is to feel control over and knowledge of your weaknesses - categorizing and analyzing your weak spots can help you avoid feeling hopeless and can give clear, specific targets for improvement that allow you to celebrate achievements.
