...sciences, and now I have a bit of a reputation around my building for having strengths in those subjects. In my mind, working with a student (especially in math) can be something like a game: there's a goal, there's someone to collaborate with, there are strategies to use, and if you let yourself you can have fun doing it. The mindset of curiosity and enthusiasm that comes from a game is powerful when used in...

...topic, but I am also enthusiastic about math as well as GRE test prep. From my experience in the classroom, I have discovered that it's very important to tailor the learning experience to each student. Every student is different and will benefit from varied methods. In general it's important to minimize lecturing and to give a student the opportunity to try and succeed at problems with gentle guidance. Outside of teaching, my interests are diverse....

...I enjoy teaching how to critically analyze passages. I believe that you have truly mastered a concept once you can explain it back to someone, so I use this idea in my tutoring style.

In my free...

In my spare time, I enjoy listening to music and collecting vinyl records, reading about and studying history, cooking, and playing board games.

...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 graduate study...

...admittedly unclear for many students throughout their academic careers. All it takes is one bad day, one bad teacher, or one confusing topic to make a student feel hopeless and that a certain subject is a lost cause. Tutoring is a great way to change a student's attitude towards a particular subject. I have always prided myself on getting to know the students in my class beyond their lives in the classroom in order to determine...
