...do things by himself/herself. It's super rewarding! I am an excellent tutor because I am enthusiastic and generous. I do not punish mistakes, but try to encourage the development of good study habits, rather than just feeding answers. With writing, I believe it is most important to give constructive criticism that a writer can use to develop his or her style further. In my free time, I like to play video games or practice guitar....

...goes along with learning. My favorite thing about teaching is watching the "aha!" moment as children finally understand a concept that may have been challenging for them. I hold a Masters in Education (EdM) from Columbia University as well as a Masters in Music (MM) in vocal performance from the Manhattan School of Music. I like to think that I bring some of the performing spirit into the learning process to make it fun!

...other perspectives. Learning a second (or third, or...) language is not only a way to learn about a different culture and alternative ways for social interactions but can really broaden the horizon.

...Along with economics, these are my favorite subjects to tutor because they involve concrete answers deeply rooted in logic. As a tutor, I strive to help students better understand complex problems and develop problem-solving skills.
