...(from simple arithmetic to calculus 2), chemistry, biology, and even the SATs, it's been a full circle experience for me. I really empathize with how frustrating certain concepts can be at first, but with the right resources and a better understanding of how each student learns, the experience can become much more enjoyable (or at least more tolerable) as well as reflective of their efforts. I hope to be able to share my own positive...

I look forward to helping...

...them not only achieve their short term goals, but approach the subject in a more positive, productive way. One of my greatest strengths as a tutor is my empathy and attention to each student's individual point of view; everybody has different ways of learning most productively and I strive not to drill in concepts, but to help students see how they can best approach material to make it intuitive and natural to themselves.... In a first...

...I've tutored students through the America Reads/America Counts program in college and as an independent tutor in subjects including essay writing, SAT prep, elementary math, phonics, and English as a second language.

...and expression. Besides English, I speak (to varying conversational degrees) Spanish, German, and Japanese. Living in New York City, however, provides an amazing cornucopia of so many of the world's languages and cultures, and I take every opportunity I can to make a connection with them. I'm also an avid reader, a latent (but perhaps budding) writer, a lover of games, and (as one savvy enough to recognize from my greeting above might guess) a...

...too old to learn, or if you're still learning when you're old that means you've been living well. I believe that we are always learning, we can't help it. Human beings are naturally curious. No matter the age, learning is a two way process. In addition to transferring information (which can be easily done by a computer or book), good teachers help find and unlock their student's inherent curiosity and thirst for understanding. Then they...

I have the ability to connect with my students and help them not only gain clarity in the subject but also achieve a higher level of self-confidence. My goal is in making the fundamentals clear and thorough understanding of the subject by making teaching and learning an enjoyable experience.
