...a solid GPA, do well on the SATs, and get into the college of their choice. I especially know, very well, what admissions committees are looking for, and I have facilitated the acceptance of many students (who struggled considerably with academics and standardized tests) into ivy league and other top tier schools. I believe that the most successful learning comes when the student is able to develop a self-sustaining curiosity and interest in the subject...

...the material and to try to inspire a desire to learn by making learning fun for them. I also really enjoy teaching general chemistry, because I find the material fascinating. When I tutor a student, I don't just give them the answers, but rather I guide them to the answers.

...crucial skill to develop for any academic subject and for a more intimate appreciation for the intricacies of the world. I fervently prescribe to a teaching method that promotes a unique engagement, both between student and instructor and with the subject matter, in order to impart the very human and meaningful elements residing in the material. Outside my more scholarly pursuits, I am an avid reader, a performing musician, and an amateur distance runner.

Every student learns in a different way and I consider it my job...

I am a friendly and outgoing person, and I really enjoy teaching and sharing my knowledge with others. I particularly like working with middle...

...impossible, instead of simply giving up, I go back to my basics. Instead of focusing on what I do not know, I look at what information is given to me. I also look at the problem from a different angle to see if it is another way to solve the problem. I hope to teach students that despite how challenging a problem may appear, they shouldn't feel discouraged. They should know that there is always...

For some reason I was obsessed with making sure all my brothers new how to tie their shoes by time they were three. One of the most important things I have learned from teaching children how to learn is that patience and humor reign supreme. Thankfully I have...
