...research. I am passionate about education and believe strongly in academic success as a platform for personal growth and self-esteem. My tutoring experience began in middle school as a reading helper to children for whom English was a second language (ages 5-10).

I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school.

As a tutor, I am dedicated to enhancing student comprehension by focusing on thought processes as well as the answer itself, ensuring that students follow a logical step-by-step progression when solving problems and maximizing their understanding of the topics at hand. I have experience tutoring at the high school and collegiate level through student organizations, university employment, and personal offerings.

...with students to help them reach a high understanding of the subject material. Instead of giving a student the answer outright, I will talk the problem out with them and help them to reach the answer themselves. I know that everyone has a unique way of thinking, and for this reason I show students several ways to approach a problem so they can chose which method is best for them. My strongest subject is math,...

With every student, I aim to find an individualized approach that makes our time together productive, helpful, and enjoyable. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, making ceramics,...

In college, although not sure at first of my career path, I decided teaching mathematics was what I was good at and what I enjoyed doing, and something I needed to do.

I enjoy jogging and writing stories, as well as trying...

...lack of complacency. I always want to be somewhere or do something that I have not yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow...

Additionally, I always find that my students have the greatest level of success as I foster great...
