...fields and many of which have had great impacts on the field of Economics. I spent the summer of 2014 living with a Spanish family in Madrid and taking classes as part of SMU's Advanced Spanish program in Madrid. I tutor a wide range of Math levels as well as Economics and Spanish. Through my experience as a student who used tutors in the past, I learned that the key to strengthening one's abilities in...

...goal to make sure my tutees absolutely understand the material they need help with. In general, I explain things in a lot of detail, which could be unnecessary at times, but I think that is better than not explaining enough. Because I'm majoring in Computer Science, that is one of my strongest subjects to tutor in, but I am able to tutor Algebra, Calculus, Geometry, and SAT Math. Outside of academics, I am an avid...

I still work there today, but now as a...

...and evolving future. In those terms, teaching is a process of engaging students and empowering them to pursue their own learning. To accomplish this, a tutor has to wear many hats: that of a mentor, a cheerleader, an expert, and others. Many times in the Physical Science class it can seem like an extension of math, an endless list of numbers of formulas that are just given as absolutes. The truth is that being able...

...interest in them through education. As a tutor, I do so by emphasizing the importance of understanding the greater context of the subject into which the specific skills to be learned fit. I find this method to be successful in easing the learning process, particularly in mathematics, as it helps students both to see how the various topics they are learning fit together and to retain the knowledge in the long term. As an added...

My students have known great success from elementary upwards: I...

...completing a Spanish Language minor. Those I have tutored have averaged a 20 point increase in test scores and their overall average. I specialize in homework help and prepping students for tests. When teaching, I'm very hands on and write out notes and examples on paper as I explain concepts and work through problem questions.

...magazine every Thursday. I love to walk around the city, as well as the outer boroughs, and discover new places. I feel like there's too much in New York City to go to the same places all the time. Music is implemented into my everyday life. I sing, frequent concerts, and listen to music daily. I go to other shows as well, such as stand-up comedy and plays. I attend concerts and shows in Hunter as...

...to reach the goal of skill transfer to school and life in general. A typical tutoring situation starts with my reviewing a student's past work, observing his/her thought processes as he/she works on an assignment. As I continue to assess the strengths and identify the areas of improvement I provide careful guidance so that he/she demonstrates the full competence in him/her independently. I've also been a Mandarin teacher and professional translator for a variety of...

...teacher. I never truly understood its real meaning until I experienced it myself. Teaching is much more than force-feeding facts and figures to students; it is helping them grow and becoming the best person they can be. Education is one of the keys of success, and without it one's potential remains untapped. A career path in education did not interest me until midway through my college career. I stopped playing baseball and had begun coaching...

...zones. In high school I took all honors and AP courses and graduated with a 4.0 GPA unweighted and a 4.97 GPA weighted considering those honors and AP classes. I am currently attending Rutgers University in New Brunswick pursuing my major in Urban Planning and Design and my minor in Psychology and possibly Italian as well.

...math as almost a game, where you have to follow a certain set of rules, but if you do, you find your answer and "win." While math has always come easy to me, I also appreciate how it can be quite the opposite for many others, and try to approach teaching it from their perspective, and to find the best way for them to connect to the material and come to their own understanding, and...

...real life. Currently, I am a college student at Brooklyn College majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Music Technology. As a Computer Science major, I've come to appreciate languages like XHTML, CSS, Java and Processing and while I know how to code in C++, I tend to stay away from it because Java has spoiled me with the lack of pointers and no need to deleting allocated memory. As for the music technology aspect...
