...progress they have made on the problem. I find that the student misses a significant part of the tutoring experience if they are not the primary force behind solving the problems they bring to me, and as a result I consider myself as more of a resource to guide the student to the right solution rather than a solution manual to consult or a teacher to recapitulate a lecture. Of course, if what the student...

When I was in 8th grade, I was struggling with pre-algebra (I couldn't seem to wrap my head around distance/rate/time problems). I found myself loathing a class I had once loved. I started working with a tutor and going from barely getting by to being successful in that class was a very fulfilling feeling that I hope to continue to pass on to others.... The best teachers are always trying to learn as well.... Get to...

In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime."

I have been teaching students for the past ten years. I love watching a student grow and achieve their goals! I have worked as a teacher and school administrator, but my real passion lies in working with students one-on-one. I graduated with a degree in Journalism and History from NYU, and love working with students on math, reading, and writing.

I currently study computer science at New York University with scholarship.

I care deeply about my students and their...

As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about...

I am a firm believer in "practice makes perfect". Practice and large amounts...

...also conduct glaucoma research in a clinical research lab. My tutoring approach is very methodical; I identify and isolate issues, while imparting fundamental knowledge and problem solving tips.
