...learn on our own by doing, but others require seeing an issue from a different perspective for real understanding. My approach to tutoring is not to batter students with information for rote memorization but rather to guide them to solve their own problems through a deeper understanding of the issues at hand.

...was often described as a "promising" student. Everything changed for me when I took an AP History course my junior year: for the first time, I realized I had a personal investment in learning. Most immediately, I realized that the better my grades were, the more freedom I had in the world. I spent my junior year giving every school assignment 110% of my energy, and it paid off: I was admitted to college a...

...the spark of genius and turning it into real achievement. Sometimes it's little things: I have discovered that eating a piece of fruit right before a big test can raise scores upwards of ten percent. That a scholar who learns to view the SAT as if it were a parlor game can overcome anxiety. That mastery of dimensional analysis is worth a full point on an AP exam and spot in an elite university. I...
