...have wormed their way into my heart over the years! My particular style of tutoring is unique, most likely to due to my sense of humor. Even someone's least favorite subject does not have to be a bore, and I quite enjoy taking some of the pressure off by being lighthearted and enthusiastic. As long as the student feels comfortable with the progress he or she is making, that's all that matters. I will never...

...in my blood. I was never drawn toward traditional education myself, realizing that every second of life is an opportunity to grow and learn; however, all through high school and through most of college I worked as a tutor both privately and with tutoring organizations. I found that while on the surface I could help these students with their homework, on a deeper level I was feeding their soul and helping them be better prepared...

...math builds upon a person's need to build relationships, creating bridges across any division. It is this "human" aspect of mathematics that intrigues me the most. Arriving at the same answer through so many different possible approaches, math intrigues me through its ability to emphasize commonalities, respect differences, and embrace varied methods. Due to my personal love of reading, writing, and analytical thinking, I strive daily to keep my mind engaged and challenged through the...

...As a commuter from Laytonsville, MD, I strived to be efficient like my older brother. I quickly learned to be independent, patient and disciplined. Time was always a concern of mine because of my long commute. At an early age, I found that doing things the right way maximized my options and unveiled personal long-term satisfaction. I used the same approach to succeed in my math courses as I did to become a successful commuter....

...in groups as well as one on one. My goal for a student is not just making him/her to know the formulas but to understand the concepts in depth so that the student can formulate the it all by themselves. It will be so deeply engrosses in you minds that you will never have to memorize it. I make the students deal practically with the subject through various models and live examples so it becomes...

...them evolve. I have always believed that too whom much is given, much is required, so having knowledge or skills and not sharing it, is not a notion familiar to me. Helping someone learn and understand a concept is great, but the bigger pleasure comes from showing them how to use the skills that they already possess to achieve results on their own, and being around to witness them do it. Reading and writing have...

I would hope that, in addition to getting the right answer, my students would learn how to arrive at...

...6th reading. As a dedicated reader and writer, I gained the invaluable experience of sharing some of my own personal reading strategies with my students. I was able to see significant gains from my students, specifically through their increased reading levels, outperformance of Washington, DC grade-level averages on quarterly interim exams, and the recognition of Tier 1 status by my school. I believe in guiding students to understanding by asking them the "why" questions that...

...concepts. My teaching philosophy is to target the student's source of frustration, to ensure correct terminology using the student's course materials, to provide strategies for memorizing information, and to focus the bulk of the tutoring session on the student's homework or projects. In addition, I am very understanding, patient, and kind. My hobbies include music, poetry, songwriting, violin, copyright law, producing records, photography, and videography. I like helping students with homework, and talking realistically about...
