...degree in History and Secondary Education. Throughout my time at Rider I learned how to not only teach history within a traditional classroom setting, but how to motivate people to achieve their goals and guide them through the process. Teaching, to me, is much more than just explaining material and ensuring students understand concepts; teaching is about enabling the student to think critically and go beyond what they thought was their limits.

...ages, teaching art, history, English, math, you name it! I get genuinely excited when I learn something new and pass it on to other people, and I try to communicate and share some of my own excitement about learning when I work with students. If you think creatively, there are always new ways to approach a problem that has stumped you, or get yourself invested in a subject that doesn't seem interesting at first glance.

...of being patient. It may take a student a while to understand a concept, but the moment when he or she does, it is extremely rewarding for the tutor, the parents, and the student.

I feel confident that I can address any paper problems you might have and make the writing process less intimidating. Aside from academic papers, I also write comedy sketches and spend most of my free time improvising and creating webseries with friends.

I have tutored in high school students in Math and college students in Finance. I am passionate about helping students reach their full potential.

My approach to teaching has been to build skills through a scaffolding process that encourages students to grow and excel. I value that each student is unique and have always utilized differentiated instruction to address multiple learning styles. I have always challenged my students to think critically, to reach their full potential, and master the skills necessary to become informed and inquisitive lifelong learners.

...helping students with Writing, Reading Comprehension and History. In my experience helping struggling students I have found that meeting students at their level is most important for information retention and gaining an appreciation of a skill or subject. For example, if a young student hates to read novels but loves comic books I will work comic books into their reading time to get them to appreciate reading at all. I am a firm believer in...

...love of teaching that drew me to that first summer job I ever had, but I soon realized how rewarding it is to work with young people and help them acquire skills they can use throughout their lifetime. Teaching swimming lessons grew into helping my neighbors' kids with homework, and upon graduation from high school I entered Long Island University as a Childhood Education major with a minor in psychology. Since then, I have enjoyed...

I am looking to get some more experience tutoring and teaching with the idea of pursuing further academic work in the future.... It changes based on the student. Not all students work well with a particular philosophy, nor should such a philosophy be set in stone.... I would look to understand the student's class, goals, and strengths/weaknesses. Then I might have them work on their normal homework with me making suggestions to get an idea of...

...a tutor with Varsity Tutors because I have a deep passion for learning and the journey of thinking. My obsession is philosophy, which as a kind of over-arching discipline concerning the knowledge of what is, disperses me into many of the various subjects within which the joy of thinking can inhabit.
