...this planet, I think it's a fascinating subject and am always intrigued by how interdependent all of life is on this planet. My style of tutoring is to explain the basic components of a concept and check if the student understands them at each step. Then when a more complex problem is given I help them identify the components they already understand and apply it to the problem at large. I love seeing the light...

So I know how to change my teaching style according to the age and the students need....

I am an experienced tutor and teacher from Okinawa, Japan who recently graduated from Brown University and now lives in Brooklyn. I double-majored in economics and urban studies but most of my tutoring and independent teaching experience comes from high school math tutoring, teaching ESL to adults, and college application essay tutoring through Varsity Tutors. I was an ESL teacher for 4 years during undergrad, and also co-coordinated an adult ESL program in Providence, RI.

...the Upward Bound High School summer camp which gave me priceless knowledge and experience on what the high school students are interested in learning and what their strength and limitations are, thus I can address their questions and concerns accordingly.

...I could settle down, given its diverse and exciting population.

...for students founded on a trusting relationship rather than the transactional and memorization based education I felt I predominantly received growing up. I am energized most by the rare look in student's eyes when they finally cement the connection they have hovered on the edge of making. Watching the second grade students whose tutors I coordinated make those connections has made me consider teaching as a profession, and I hope by tutoring with Varsity I...

...is relaxed yet focused. When I'm working with a student, I'll ask more questions at the beginning of the session to get a good idea of where the student stands and where there are some gaps. One of the biggest things I've noticed (especially in math!) is that if there isn't a good foundation, you won't be able to finish the whole house (i.e., your learning objective). By asking questions, we'll be able to fill...
