I'm a Harvard graduate applying to graduate schools. I've worked in tech, consulting and academia. I've tutored grades 5-12 for 5+ years.

I've been working as a math tutor for most of my life, and I pride myself on my ability to work with an individual student to figure out how to connect with them, since the first thing any student needs is a willingness to try.

I believe an instructor should make a subject exciting and interesting. Being positive, pleasant,and humorous is important. Maya Angelou put it the right way: "People will forget what you said. People will forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them FEEL." My goal is to make a student feel something positive, then associate that with information. They won't forget that.

It's very important for me to empower students to be able to succeed on their own. A real tutor gives them the skills they need to perform on their own, with the training wheels off. I have the content knowledge, the teaching experience, and the calm and disciplined approach to help students get to this place.
