...of Business Administration in Operations Management, with a minor in Spanish. Since graduating, I've tutored people of all ages, with varying levels of proficiency (i.e. beginners, etc.) In addition to grammar and literature, I've helped my students improve their conversational Japanese in everyday situations. My lessons also incorporate elements of Japanese culture, especially pop culture and anime/manga, and history. In my spare time, I enjoy playing piano, painting, traveling and learning different cultures and languages.

I am a freshman at New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, currently earning my BFA in Acting. I have a strong interest and background in English, Literature, and Public Speaking and love writing as well. ... As a student myself, I understand how guidance in any particular subject can boost confidence and help encourage a greater sense of enthusiasm, so I hope to bring a sense of support and understanding in subject areas where a student may be struggling. My teaching philosophy is to let the student know they are on the right track and shouldn't be afraid to ask for help to put them even further ahead.

...avid, competitive ballroom dancer. I began teaching dance at my ballet studio in high school before going on to teach my college team, as well as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language, Spanish. In my observation, languages and writing skills are poorly taught in many schools, leaving students frustrated and unprepared for further learning. The improvement I see in my students, however,...

...tricks (outsmarting the test) and skill development (boosting a student's reading comprehension, vocabulary, etc.). I used to be skeptical about test strategies; I got a perfect verbal score on my own SAT and consistently scored in the 99th percentile on the verbal section of every standardized test I ever took without resorting to any kind of special technique. However, as I've worked as a tutor, I've come to realize just how *many* of those tests...

...into simple parts. My teaching philosophy is that I believe everyone approaches learning differently and a tutor should understand the student's learning style. I try to pinpoint the root of any learning difficulties so we can work together to overcome those difficulties and achieve success. I have always had an interest in learning foreign languages. I have traveled throughout Europe and also have a basic knowledge of German and Italian. My hobbies include home decorating...

...writer. I have been tutoring since I was in high school, and I find it very rewarding to watch my students improve through our work. As a tutor, I make sure my students understand the fundamentals of the topic we are reviewing. I then work on practice problems with them until they know the ins and outs of the subject area. I tutor for high school admissions tests, the SAT, ACT, math, writing, and French.

...learn. I have had no more rewarding experience than having a young student tell me how good he or she feels after having done very well on an exam thanks to our tutoring session. I have experience the same sense of pride when one of my adult learners get their certification after having gone through my preparation course, especially given that this person had not stepped in to a classroom for over 15 years. It...

...a great indicator of success. Piling too much pressure onto students only creates stress and self-doubt so I like to keep things light. I like to make lots of comparisons to current events that are relevant to the subject matter at hand to make things less intimidating and foreign. When I am not working I like playing and recording original music, cooking (often French dishes, not surprisingly), and watching sports. I am a huge fan...

...need support in elementary reading and math. I am also bilingual in French and English and can tutor students in French. I consider myself to be a hard-working, caring, and creative individual that is passionate about providing my students with a successful educational experience.
