...in the Emergency Department of a local hospital, and (most recently) applying to medical school. My favorite part about tutoring is working to engage students to feel as excited and interested as I do towards the material that I teach and hearing my students tell me that they learn more with me in an hour than they do in an entire week of school! When I teach, I strive to let my students know that...

...either by mentoring peers and classmates of mine while in college or while tutoring students as a volunteer tutor. Specifically, while I was in Ohio, I had the honor of volunteering with a youth organization that focused on helping lower income children, acting as both a tutor and a mentor to them.

...after school program in Alameda. I started working with Varsity Tutors in 2013. I have always loved getting to know all of my students. Every single one has taught me so many things about learning and teaching, and I believe in return many have grown from working with me. For me, learning to work with a student is like solving a puzzle. Each student has her or his own unique set of strengths. I believe...

...beyond graduation in the job market or graduate school. I teach and tutor from an honest enthusiasm for words, language and the writing process.

...to students with a diversity of backgrounds, ages, and nationalities. During law school, I taught full-length LSAT courses and provided private LSAT tutoring for a test preparation company. Indeed, I have a special place in my heart for the LSAT, and I think it's a test that becomes much more manageable with a lot of practice and a solid understanding of its mechanics. I just moved to the Bay Area from Alaska, where I clerked...

I tutor French students at all levels and ages. I recently graduated from UC Santa Barbara as a French major and I have been all over the beautiful country of France.

In my spare time, I enjoy practicing yoga and exploring the...

I'm extremely interested in modern language,...

...in both school and tutoring settings. I tutor a wide range of subjects (English, French, German, Spanish), but what links them all is language as a tool for connection and personal growth. Learning someone else's language shows that you respect their culture and want to understand it. At the same time, learning a new language can lead to insights about your own language and culture. When tutoring, I strive to help students meet their immediate...

...bachelors in 1986, my masters in 1994, and my doctorate in 2001. I have extensive knowledge of French culture and have achieved near-native fluency. My overriding goal when teaching French has always been to increase fluency, both written and spoken. Inasmuch as possible I conduct classes in French. This is a daunting prospect to many students, but my greatest assets as a teacher are patience and praise. I have taught all levels of French to...

At the Noble Academy, I taught AP Biology ninth graders as well as all of our ninth graders with IEPs.

I therefore am an incredibly flexible teacher, who can adapt lessons to a range...

I speak Japanese and French, and I have taken the PSATs, SATs, 10 APs, and the GREs successfully.
