...teach algebra and pre-algebra, as well as AP United States History. I am also available to work on college admittance essays and with public speaking. I teach much the way I was taught: learning to recognize my own mistakes.

...the micro-cognition of each student. This is where I and many others come in: to fill those gaps.

Every student (everyone, truly, for are we not all students?), in varying degrees of severity, learns differently,...

...levels, standardized tests, and chemistry. I enjoy tutoring for the SAT and ACT the most; I feel like every problem is a puzzle and I love helping students learn how to work the puzzles themselves. My philosophy for tutoring is if one explanation doesn't work, try to explain in another way. I am a ubiquitously empathetic person, and it helps me approach problems and schoolwork through the students' perspective and find the best way to...

I think that knowledge is power and the children are our future. I once dreamt of being a high school math teacher but resigned to studying economics in lieu of this dream.
