If you have a propensity to look at problems in a cross- or inter-disciplinary manner (or want...

...undergraduate at Columbia College. I love tutoring students in math, German, SHSAT, and SAT. I believe that I have good communication and pedagogical skills, and a firm understanding of the subject matter. Having come from Germany at the age of eleven, I know the frustration that can come with feeling overwhelmed by coursework. I performed well on standardized exams like the SHSAT and the SAT and can teach test-taking skills that will ultimately lead students...

...These experiences helped me learn the importance of patience, encouragement, and flexibility while tutoring. I feel best when I know my student feels more sure and excited about a subject. That's when I've truly done my job! I believe it's important to tailor each lesson to the student's personal learning style and interests. That way a subject becomes approachable and intriguing for the student, as opposed to intimidating and stressful. I currently live and work...

...program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate an appreciation for math, science, and/or the humanities that will last into college and their career. Unwilling to compromise my love...

I'm also an avid reader, a latent (but perhaps budding) writer, a lover of games, and (as one savvy enough to recognize from my greeting above might guess) a nascent computer programmer. I'm currently enrolled in CS50x, an online version of the Intro to Computer Science course taught at Harvard and Yale, and I'm really digging...

...a 25-year-old tutor based out of Greenwich, Connecticut. I've worked as a full-time teacher at a competitive NYC school. Before teaching, I studied History at Georgetown University and worked as the full-time, live-in tutor to a foreign Ambassador's children. I am fluent in French and have worked in various business contexts, which have given me a set of skills in computer programming, financial accounting, and business statistics. French, writing, History, the SAT and business-related subjects...
