...into status, but with education they can navigate their network and privilege. One may be born into destitute circumstances, but with their education can rise above their situation.

Every student under my tutelage will be given access to...

...at Varsity Tutors. My goal is to become a teacher, either at the High School or College level. I believe that education and the process of educating are two-way streets, during which both parties learn and evolve constantly.

...as an AVID GDL, I specialize in an adaptable, mentoring instruction style, especially effective for students facing unusual circumstances or special needs. While I tutor everything from academic prep through scholarship applications, I find the most satisfaction during the college essay process, as the student and I weave together their most important experiences into a compelling admission essay. Several of my previous students were invited to apply for internal scholarships following the submission of their...

...It makes me feel unfulfilled but gladly after a few weeks of working together, we pulled that C- to a B and from there he showed a bit more urgency and concern. I've also had some great experiences. I helped one middle school student bring up her grade in science.

However, I find that I can relate to and communicate with students of all ages, and am capable of teaching more than just the sciences. In the past, I have taught students effective homework and test-taking skills. I also understand how to simplify complex ideas that might be difficult to grasp at first. Finally, I know how important it is...

...class demos. Most recently, I have just completed a year of service with City Year Washington DC, an Americorps program where we worked in under-performing elementary, middle, and high schools in the DC region. Specifically, I taught Math and ELA small groups in my 1st grade classroom to push students from being below grade level to on grade level.

My major strength as a tutor is my ability to demystify advanced material by breaking it down into simple pieces using everyday language. I impress upon students that the only thing that makes a topic easy or difficult is whether they know it already, and my job is to help them turn difficult topics into easy ones. I emphasize effort over ability.

I also have extensive experience in editing student papers (literature-based essays, historical and scientific research papers, and college/graduate school application essays). Rather than simply correcting students mistakes, I...
