In the future, I seek to pursue clinical and pedagogical medicine and enjoy biking, skateboarding, dancing, and...

I've never taken a break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding exactly how to work with students of all backgrounds and temperaments. My teaching style involves Socratic Questioning and is highly interdisciplinary. It is never a one-way stream of information. I will be...

I believe that the confidence to apply your knowledge is as important as building a store of knowledge to draw from for academic success. As a teacher, I strive to accurately identify my students weaknesses and strengths before bolstering them with my own...... I don't just want to teach my students the answers, but how to ask the right questions-- questions that seek a fundamental understanding of the subject. The answers will come naturally.... I like to talk to the student and hear their own assessments of their strengths and weaknesses. Based on their answers, I delve further into understanding what their abilities are, and how to shore up gaps in those abilities.

Emmelina: SHSAT test prep instructor
I am currently a junior at Columbia University studying Environmental Science with a focus on Sustainable Development. I have tutored since early high school i n all subjects that range from high school entrance exam preparation (SHSAT in New York City as well as MAP and ISEE in Chicago) to the college process (all areas of SAT/ACT/SAT Subject Tests/College Essay help)...... I really find a lot of joy in tutoring middle and high school students, because not long ago I was in their shoes--and it feels so good on my end when I really see that a student is putting in the effort, taking my guidance with open arms and a positive attitude, and thus really improving their learning skills. 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 them to feel like a tutoring session is a relaxing but productive space where they shouldn't be afraid to really ask questions and tell me what keeps tripping them up.

Having taught students in various subjects before, and as a college student myself, I believe that the best teaching approach is one that caters directly to the student's needs-whether it's through lecturing or more personalized attention. I also think that learning should be an enjoyable experience and not feel like a chore which is why I teach in an interactive and exciting manner.

I studied political science at Brown University, but I enjoy reading about subjects as diverse as astronomy, sustainability, and literature too. I had some study tactics that worked for me, especially for high school subjects and standardized tests. I can share these with you but also try to help you with tactics that you've already developed.... I love to learn, and I want to cultivate that love of knowledge in students. If you are studying for a particular test, you may need to learn very specific skills or problem types. I can help you with that, but above all, I want to help you to think critically, dig deep into the details, and connect ideas in the grand scheme of things.
