...work very rewarding. I have been teaching and tutoring informally for many years now, sometimes through established positions, but more often out of goodwill. I am a member of the Northeastern Downbeats, a co-ed a cappella group on campus. In the past, I played on my high school's ultimate frisbee team and captained my high school's badminton team. In my free time, I enjoy playing piano, watching TV, or playing board games.

...working more and more on privately tutoring Language Arts, Humanities, and Test Prep (SAT, AP, TOEFL) with students at the middle and high school level.

I think it's vitally important to give my students the skills they need to go on...

I understand that to be successful, a tutor must assume a number of different roles (supervisor, policy enforcer, coach, active listener, friend, etc) while remaining fun, open, flexible, compassionate, patient and respectful with students of all ages and levels.

So, I would play with numbers, because I could create the value. I can specifically remember multiplying 2 by itself 20 times, just to see what would happen, and I had no idea that I was uncovering an exponential growth rate....

...dreaming in French. The ultimate goal for any Francophile, and one that continues to this day. I am a cultural sponge and an aesthete to the core, and have travelled to 25 different countries. Immersing yourself in another culture is the best form of self-enlightenment, and a passion I share through my teaching. I am a writer by trade, and wrote a slang, style and culture guide to Paris - Parisienne French - available in...
