...love seeing understanding light up in a student's eyes when they understand a new concept or finally get something they've been struggling with. When they finally get something, a new path opens to them and a new possibility appears. In my tutoring, the basics are emphasized. The basics are the foundation to understanding bigger and more complicated concepts. Without them, learning becomes a struggle. With them, it can be fun and easy. And when something is...

My Economics study is Macro and Finance oriented, with my senior thesis focused on the financial markets and statistical arbitrage. As a tutor, my focus will be on the standardized tests, Economics, and Mandarin Chinese.

...Most of my experience tutoring comes as a Math and Special Education teacher. I regularly work with students after school on Math homework, ranging from Pre-Algebra to Pre-Calculus. I enjoy tutoring because it is much easier to get to know a student, and for a student to get to know me, one-one-one as opposed to in a large class. As a tutor, I always try to find a student's strengths and use that as a...

I am fascinated by languages, and I recently started studying German and Russian in addition...

...their goals. I believe a great teacher puts their students need first, and adheres to their students learning style.

In my experience, helping students with crushing their board exams have been the most enjoyable because it allowed the students to have a tangible outcome on their future....

...a good fit for you! I think the most important thing is finding a tutor that works with your strengths and weaknesses. I like to spend the first time meeting a student really figuring out where the disconnect is with a subject, sometimes the problem is not the new material, but a stronger foundation in previous classes is needed. Professionally I have mostly tutored math for the last several years, but within my friends I...

...and I graduated from Cornell Tech with a Master's of Engineering in Computer Science this past May. I was also on the pre-med track for a few years before I changed my goals.

...assistant for a molecular biology course for undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students, which helped me to find my strengths in teaching and tutoring: rather than seeking to 'teach to the top of the class', I find analogies, visual representations, and other angles from which to approach a concept until all my students understand a given concept. I look forward to helping students discover the principles of my chosen field--specifically, in molecular biology, genetics, biochemistry, or general...

...approach me with any questions; I am known to have an amicable personality. My teaching style tend to be reductionist in nature, meaning I like breaking hard problems down to their elementary components, then reassuring students that there was nothing to be afraid of in the first place. Having recently taken the GRE exam, I understand the struggles of refreshing math concepts and adapting to esoteric verbal texts and vocabulary. The list is overwhelming, but...

...variety of backgrounds and ages. I have been working in education, primarily in tutoring and afterschool programs, for the majority of my career, and there are few experiences I enjoy more than building relationships with students and watching them grow and develop as people and scholars.
