I'm a current Honors student at Rutgers University. I am working towards a Masters degree in History.

...they experience knowledge for themselves, while receiving guidance and encouragement from their teacher. I truly enjoy tutoring and want to help my students achieve academic success. I'm especially passionate about helping struggling readers.

Therefore,...

...exam. My greatest assets as a tutor are my flexibility and approachable nature. It is important to be able to approach a problem from multiple angles until the student has found an approach that is best for him or her.

...world comes down to how we were taught. It took me years to learn to swim. I got the stroke patterns down early but it wasn't until someone told me to exhale all the way through not just into the water but as my face is leaving the water that I really got it. The same applies to learning in school: one key idea or concept can make all the difference. My teaching style is...
