...which they will be examined. I understand that these important tests can be stressful experiences for many people, so I also work with students to develop strategies to overcome any anxiety that might get in the way of a student not demonstrating his or her full potential. I enjoy tutoring a variety of subjects, but I find it especially rewarding to guide students in taking ownership over their writing as they find greater self-expression and...

...to teach our children how to think! It sounds so simple and you might be saying, "Of course, I know how to think!" Well, when you are given a word problem, do you know what comes to mind? Are you aware of the questions you are asking yourself and how you are planning to solve the problem? I will be sure to strengthen these thinking skills, which are very important in test taking. Lastly, I...

...mathematics. My tutoring philosophy centers around a combination of a holistic and independent approach. I believe that the best way for a student to learn is the way in which they have been most comfortable in the past, tailored to each specific subject in which they need assistance. This allows for a strong blend between knowledge of a subject and the best skills for studying and test taking. Thank you and I look forward to...

...experiences have further enhanced this aspect of my personality. There is no doubt that the academic portfolio of any student is their strongest asset in terms of career-building, and I am incredibly enthusiastic about helping people get there.

But I came to learn, fortunately early, that the lack of an effective learning strategy...

...moved to New York to study drawing and architecture, but my passion for education remains. I believe that students need to learn how to ask the right questions so that they can navigate the increasingly sophisticated world around them.

...two years now, I have been helping students improve their college application essays. To date, my clients have secured admissions from top institutions such as Harvard, University of Toronto, and LSE. I believe in working with my client to bring out the best in them; most of us know what we want our college application essay to say but have a difficult time articulating our story. Here is where I come in: whether you're at...

...am very creative. I find that people of all ages struggle with some sort of learning curve. Finding what works for each person individually is how to teach. Everyone learns differently. Some people are great listeners and do great with dictation, while some need to be hands on, and some people also just are visual learners. Understanding the person you are helping, and learning a little bit about them helps and goes a long way.

Aside from studies I love to do outdoor activities such as hiking trails, playing tennis, and...

...just because you think differently, that it doesn't mean that you think "worse" than everyone else. Learning this invaluable lesson through my own experiences makes me jump at the prospect to work with other students who have gone through similar challenges to help them unleash the power they have in discovering the strength nestled within knowledge. While I am an aspiring physician, I believe that there are many parallels between the two fields of medicine...
