Award-Winning GRE Tutors in Syracuse, NY

I am a recent graduate of Smith College with degrees in Engineering Science and Mathematics. This fall, I will be starting a PhD in Electrical Engineering at UC Berkeley. I love to tutor math, and firmly believe that there is no "one size fits all" style of tutoring. I have worked to incorporate this mindset into my work as a tutor previously. Outside of school I enjoy hiking and cooking.

I love working with every type of student to help them reach their goals. As an English Ph.D. student, literature remains at the center of my educational journey. Reading and the skills that come with it--comprehension, analysis, critical thinking, empathy--are of utmost importance. I work hard to balance between challenging and encouraging my students. My excitable disposition and energy help to motivate learning and reinforce confidence in their own minds.

I work with all students of varying levels. For those...

...learn. Not everyone is able to study the same way so once you know what works best for you and use those skills, you can learn anything! Albert Einstein expressed this idea best when he said, "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid." No one is truly incapable of learning, it's just that we...

...and private tutoring in person. Ive gotten positive feedback from my clients, and in high school and college I was always the one my classmates would ask for informal help. I know that everyone has different learning needs and goals, and adapting instruction accordingly is an important part of the job. Even though everyone learns differently, I believe there is a path to understanding any material for every student who is willing to walk it.

...best navigate the system structures to maximize learning and possibilities for their future. I was a very non-traditional student my entire life and have learned different ways to work around that to navigate the system to get where I want to. I like to use creativity, problem solving, and knowledge of the educational system to support others. I enjoy working one-on-one with people as it allows for a very individualized approach to learning. Besides school...

I love the humanities because, with careful study, they build a person from the inside out. Languages, writing and the arts require you to engage fully with their subjects - to produce something unique, something that only you can offer. This, to me, is true learning. It translates into clearer thinking, better grades and greater satisfaction in life.

I'm a Library Science graduate student and graduated this year with a bachelor's degree in art history. I love to read and write, and through my own education, I have developed ways to make both fun.

...me to interpret and describe ideas that intrigue 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.

...school in Los Angeles, English to students in Hyderabad, India, and reading to rehabilitated refugee children in Arizona. After graduating, I instructed reading programs for the Institute of Reading Development, where I saw that, as my students' reading skills improved, their overall confidence skyrocketed.
