Clinton Fellow with the American India Foundation. I...

...papers, college application essays, and yes, even in SAT Writing! I am committed to a reflective tutoring model that is motivated by a desire to show students how they think. A reflective tutoring model is best for developing student-specific approaches to and goals for thinking and learning more confidently. My experience as a teaching assistant...

...have had experience teaching as a peer mentor for college students in Introductory Biology, as a camp counselor at the Central Park Zoo, and as a tap dance instructor. My academic strengths are science, social sciences, music, and SAT preparation. I loved my time in primary and secondary school and hope to instill my excitement...

...more closely with my teachers (I was always doing alternative projects that could demonstrate my knowledge of the material). Another example might be my gender, which I have found over the past several years to be neither male nor female (talk about uninterrogated mainstreams). I have found tremendous joy, peace of mind, and perhaps even...

...chemistry. While in college I worked as a tutor and teaching assistant for first year chemistry, holding weekly sessions where I went over homework and tests. After college I worked for two years at an after-school enrichment program where I again tutored and taught classes in chemistry, math, as well as SAT and ACT prep...

...had to summarize what I've learned so far from all of these teaching experiences, I'd boil it down to this: A good attitude accounts for at least 75% of learning. If you feel you can learn it, and you're not afraid of making some mistakes along the way, then you will ultimately learn it. Whom...

...I work with. My experience includes teaching middle school, high school, and college students in both subject specific review and test preparation.

...be no limits to the creativity that the tutor is prepared to bring to the table in helping a student (going beyond the presentation of black letters or numbers on a white page). * In addition to solidifying basic skills, it's critically important to build up a student's creativity, confidence, and resilience, in moving toward...

...standardized tests or academic subjects, I look forward to helping you or someone you care about reach their potential. For my own academic history, I scored in the 99th percentile on all three sections of the SAT, as well as attaining a score of 5 on the AP Statistics, US Government, US History, and English...

...left IBM and started my own company in the computer leasing industry. Even though throughout my career I have been in mostly sales positions, I found that my teaching background proved invaluable when explaining to my clients how new technologies could benefit their organizations. I think my real world experience and my love of math,...

...to think critically about the world has applications far beyond the classroom, and watching students learn to evaluate claims and think deeply about a topic is very rewarding. My goals are to help anyone who wants to learn, and to help students love science as much as I do. I emphasize mostly concept and problem based...

...tips, tricks and test strategies, but we'll also work on developing the key skills and approaches that will help you succeed in all areas. I truly believe there's no one method for success -- it's a matter of figuring out what works for you and understanding your own strengths and weakness. And, of course, doing...

...summer school and in after school programs too. I do love teaching... that's why I can't seem to leave it. These days I'm employed as a paraprofessional at Middletown High School. I spend a lot of my spare time with my grandson, Joshua, who is 13 years old and a total delight. He never fails...

...and History. I first began tutoring as part of Wesleyan's Writing Workshop where I helped students on a range of assignments, from small academic papers to a PhD dissertation in ethnomusicology.

...continued to prepare students for the SAT and ISEE. In general, about half of my students are doing test preparation and half are getting some kind of help with school. At the tutoring center where I worked, we had a number of students who were being tutored in order to become very advanced in their...

...as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex concepts. For example, I might steer a writing student studying organic chemistry to explain a reaction as a narrative of molecular interactions, rather than beginning with a complex problem. In the context of...

Strategic, high-energy, confident professional bridging the gap between goals and accomplishments... I would refer a student to previous times that I had difficulty, slow down the process, and ensure that every step along the way is mastered. Without moving on to the next step, I would want the student to show mastery on every given step before moving on. Hopefully slowing down, the student will be able to learn conceptually and visually.
