...this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp difficult concepts. At the end of our sessions,...

...me, hearing "Oh, that makes so much more sense now!" from the students whom I tutor makes my job very rewarding because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula...

As an instructor, I am dedicated to helping students succeed because I know from my own experiences as a student that, at every level of education, from elementary to graduate school, the support and encouragement of a passionate teacher can turn a diffident or apathetic underachieving student...

I graduated from Old Dominion University with a Bachelors in Physics. I'm currently a graduate student pursuing a PhD in theoretical physics. I immensely enjoy what I do, and that passion is what fuels my tutoring style. I specialize in tutoring for Differential Equations and Multivariable Calculus, these courses are often difficult to conceptualize and I enjoy communicating the ideas to students. ... The most important step towards understanding problems and mastering subjects is learning the underlying concepts before attempting to jump through a step-by-step solution

Many times, students need flexibility and patience in order to grasp a foreign concept. I am a firm believer in the power...

All students are smart in their own way and, teaching should be catered to how students best understand. Ultimately students should understand why what they are learning is important.

...to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings. I recently completed a dual degree at Indiana University and moved to New York to take a gap year before beginning graduate school. As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and piano performance. Outside of tutoring, you can find me playing or teaching piano, doing jigsaw puzzles, watching TED talks, running, or trying a new food or cooking technique.... A first session will begin with a brief light-hearted conversation to allow the student to share their personal stories as well as goals for tutoring. This is also designed to boost the student's motivation and develop his/her trust in me as a tutor. The session will include some pop quiz questions to assess the student's current understanding. With the remaining time, we will dive into the curriculum that the school or testing board uses or that the student wishes to cover outside of academic requirements.
