Careful, concept-oriented preparation can help ensure that students don’t run into anything radically new on exam day. My preparation strategy aims to give students the instruction they need to recognize as many problem types as...

...me in creative ways using sound. That said, I still have a secret crush on math and science, and I love exploring and analyzing languages and the written word. (In fact, much of the music I have written has been inspired by literary or linguistic concepts.)

...to 40 and they come from many different backgrounds. I remember when I was a college student, I went through the same things that they are going through which makes it easier for me to work with them.

I played ultimate frisbee for my university's club team and hope to find another team to play for here in Seattle. I am happiest when...

...with a student, I overshoot the level of enthusiasm I express about the material. I am unafraid of being goofy. Keeping students entertained ensures that they pay close attention to the material, which is crucial for its absorption. I also admit mistakes, which eases students' fear of asking questions or making mistakes themselves. I take these approaches to foster a sense of collaboration by communicating that I, the teacher, am not on a different level...

...testing is removed, and to this end I try to incorporate games as much as possible. I like to give the students ample space to show me what they do already know, something that is illuminating to me as a tutor and also frequently surprises students with how much knowledge they already command.

...undergrad at Washington University in St. Louis, MO. I've loved science since I was a little kid (I was that weird girl playing with dirt and rocks during recess). I did what I like to call the "Nerd Trifecta" in high school: math team, knowledge bowl, and science olympiad. I've tutored since I was in middle school, and I love finding an explanation or analogy to help someone else really grasp a concept! I'm applying...

...students with their writing projects. Helping students develop and perfect their papers and essays has become one of my favorite parts of teaching. I've also come to actually enjoy preparing for standardized tests, and hope to share some of that enjoyment with my students. Standardized tests are like puzzles, and predictable puzzles at that: once you learn to crack the code, you realize that they're not so scary after all! It's really important to me...

...pieces of poetry, short stories, movie and book reviews, author interviews, and literary essays online and in print. MY TUTORING APPROACH is student-centered, skills-based, and defined by connectivity. Let's start with that last one! Throughout a tutoring session, it's helpful to connect with students about what they care about, what they love, and even what bothers them and why! These kernels of connection can grow into motivators implicitly and explicitly throughout the lesson. Following this...
