I still love watching Schoolhouse Rock! and singing along with “Conjunction Junction” and “A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing.” Outside of the world of academia, my interests lean toward entertainment and fitness, often both at the same time. I like to listen to comedy podcasts like How Did This Get Made?, The Dork Forest, and Go Bayside!, while doing...

...teacher to help my students succeed. I have extensive knowledge of test preparation and testing strategies, as well as strong subject knowledge in a variety of maths, sciences, and humanities. I am an experienced tutor, I started out teaching at my university Learning Resource Center, and now having been working with students privately for the past 10 years as I completed my own undergraduate and medical education.

...for arts and sciences allows me to connect with students with diverse interests. I am most passionate about tutoring math and science, because I think that too many students are told that they're hard or not fun.

...Greek, but I have most frequently worked with students preparing for various standardized tests (having received a perfect score on my SAT in high school). Whenever possible I try to teach using the Socratic method, as I find that the process of guided discovery helps with the retention and application of new concepts. I enjoy the challenge of trying to connect academic subjects with the interests of my students (abstract mathematical principles are less likely...

...all students do better when they have fun (and maybe even become passionate about) learning the subjects they struggle with, and it is absolutely imperative in my teaching method that everyone's enjoying themselves! Learning should be fun, since it's something we all continue to do for the rest of our lives, even after we graduate. If this sounds like a fit, I'm always happy to help, and look forward to meeting you!... Everyone should be having fun while they learn!

...This is what my tutoring style targets. I spent the past 4 years teaching Math and Physics professionally. Before teaching, I spent 3 years tutoring at a university where I earned my BS in Biomedical Engineering. I switched from a career in engineering to one in education because I just love working with kids, teenagers, and young adults. For me, coaching a teenager to improve his jumpshot beats educating a client about a new product;...

...in instilling a passion for lifetime learning to my students. One way I instill this passion is by being a model lifetime learner for my students. For instance, when I teach, I will often demonstrate inquiry by asking questions alongside students to get them to think and generate their own ideas. I believe that every child can reach their learning potential with high expectations and goal-setting, the necessary support and opportunities, and a caring environment.

I have two years of experience teaching SAT math and verbal courses. I have also privately tutored math majors in various math courses, ranging from linear algebra to probability and multivariate calculus. Many of the high school students I have tutored/mentored went on to be accepted at Ivy League schools (Harvard, Columbia, and Cornell).
