...veterinarian or a surgeon Well see where the wind takes me! Ive been tutoring with Varsity Tutors for almost a year and have loved meeting students from all over Boston and helping them with SAT preparation or science class. Its a very rewarding feeling when students achieve their goals because of your help. This feeling, and the growth of confidence Ive seen in my students after our sessions, has led me to keep tutoring in...

...The Vanguard Group in Charlotte, North Carolina. I love analyzing economic data and using that data in every day conversations and to shape my decisions. When it comes to tutoring I have a very similar approach. I will analyze where the problem areas are, or where a student may be struggling, and use that information to in turn teach and educate the student. Every student learns differently and it's important to identify how that student...

...for at-risk youth. I'm most passionate about math (from elementary math to Algebra 2 mainly) and English (specifically grammar, mechanics, editing, etc.); thus, those are the subjects which I most frequently tutor.

I resided in Gainesville, Florida while I was getting my degree in Nutritional Science at the University of Florida. After graduating, I moved to Austin, Texas and completed a year of AmeriCorps.

...math and the physical sciences. I worked hard in high school, undergrad, and graduate school to expand my knowledge on the subject and become an expert in math. I know that math isn't everyone's favorite subject, so I'm here to share the tips and tricks that I've picked up in algebra, calculus, statistics, and trig with everyone. I'm always happy to lend a hand to those who need help. If you're having trouble in mathematics,...

...senior year, I also tutored and mentored high school students attending New Brunswick Health Science Technology within the Rutgers Future Scholar Mentorship program. These experiences shaped my principled and conceptual tutoring style. I believe that conceptual understanding is the most important factor in determining success in a subject. If a student has a conceptual understanding of a subject's foundational principles, they can apply them to many different, and more complex, problems rather than just the...

English was also a subject I tutored frequently at SASSO, so I am very prepared...

In Oct. of 2014 I left the country for the first time to travel to Zambia, Africa to visit a friend living there. It was an incredible trip. We sat in the devil's pool at Victoria Falls (I recommend looking up a photo). We also went on a safari and had...

...work with native Spanish speakers in other academic subjects. I bring a compassionate and collaborative approach to teaching. I strongly believe that a tutor must treat his or her student as a teammate and not as someone who merely needs instruction. The goal of any tutoring session should be to bring out and foster a student's own capacity to understand and excel in a given field, which begins with respect. I am currently pursuing a...

...curious nature of students, so that students are interested in exploring and learning more. The role of the teacher is to foster this curiosity and interest in learning and to guide students by clearly explaining difficult concepts. I have many years of experience tutoring students of all ages. Most recently, I worked as a teacher and tutor in Madrid, Spain, where I taught English as a Foreign Language. Before that, I worked in New York...

I earned a Master of Arts degree in Teaching from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Science in Engineering degree from the University of Michigan-Ann Arbor.
