...SAT, ACT, or AP subjects. I also have a high degree of familiarity with sciences and math like Geology, Calculus, Statistics, Technical Geography, Research Methods, and more.

My teaching philosophy revolves around empowering you, the students, to not only learn the material, but also learn what strategies...

...to draw. I could imagine the details I wanted to create, but the drawing never came out the way I would picture it. So, I would play with numbers, because I could create the value. I can specifically remember multiplying 2 by itself 20 times, just to see what would happen, and I had no idea that I was uncovering an exponential growth rate. For the students that I will tutor, I will not only...

...hold the same values and goals! I hold a B.A. in Psychology and English from Drew University in Madison, N.J. and a Standard Teaching Certification from St. Peter's College in Jersey City, N.J.

In high school I take a variety of AP and honors level courses with strengths in history, writing, and literary analysis. I am also strong in algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus I.

...educated in several countries, and to teach in several countries. I received my education at Manhattan School of Music, Columbia University, the Universitaet Mozarteum, in Salzburg, Austria, University of Virginia, and Oxford. I have taught in the US, UK, Austria and Japan, and lived in all of those countries, plus Iceland, and for a shorter period in both France, and Turkey. My students have ranged in age from kindergarten, to adults, and have spoken many...

...process, in addition to a passion for the material I present. It is my job to create an atmosphere that fosters learning. There are many different learning styles, and it is important as a teacher to recognize the learning style of each student. I encourage learning by creating a relaxed environment for students. My students also will realize that I am a life-long learner myself. I am always researching new teaching methods, in order to...

...my B.A. at UC Berkeley with a double in Philosophy and Physics. I really enjoy working with students and teaching- I hope to teach as a professor in the future.

One-on-one learning should never mean lectures, and I like to hold an ongoing conversation so students use their own learning skills in new ways to solve new kinds of problems. My creative experience in film-making allows me to guide interested students through extracurricular courses in film production and editing, and my musical background supports courses I teach in piano, composition, and music theory.

...Columbia University. Before arriving to my current career choice of physical therapy, I did architecture, visual arts, I studied languages (Swedish and Russian, which I now speak fluently), took subjects in the humanities and the sciences, became a Pilates instructor, and also played drums and wrote music professionally! As a result, I can truly get in the mindset of a student who is learning something - NO question is out-of-bounds or silly - it all...

...National Theatre. However, instead of Yerma - the protagonist - challenging the traditional role of a woman, it is those around her who try to suppress her ferocious lust for motherhood. I found this ironic, considering that Yerma is the more contemporary work, being written in 1934 because despite Sor Juana's work being written in the 1600s it seems far more progressive. I have traveled extensively in Spain and South-America, and last February I took...

...in doing so. I tutor math (up to Calc I), English (up to AP-level), Spanish (up to AP-level), Physics (Regents-level), German (up to intermediate), French, Latin (both elementary), and the SATs and GREs. Of the subjects I've tutored so far, I'd say math is my favorite because it is highly objective and it comes very naturally to me. My interests outside of academics include music, playing music, and, obviously, politics (don't worry, I'm not a...

...always fascinated me due to their application towards everyday technology. 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. This mindset is obviously crucial for tests, but it also helps students develop analytical techniques that can benefit them in innumerable ways. Outside academics, I enjoy reading about current affairs,...
