...for developing literacy in secondary education students. At school, we examined the problems with deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use...

If I can leave any of my students with just one thing, it would be a better sense of confidence and excitement about education and learning. Through Varsity, I hope to help and encourage students to work hard and strive to...

My LSAT students develop a toolbox to address each type of question, and they develop the perspicuity to discern which question requires which approach. New York is my home, and when I am not teaching, I like to ride my bicycle down its broad avenues and tortuous alleys. I have been to many...

I believe personal, one-on-one tutoring is essential for students to fully grasp the material. It affords them the ability to ask questions they may be afraid to ask in a larger, group setting. A good tutor should determine the student's needs and communicate effectively while maintaining a low-pressure environment.

I focus on helping students understand the "why" behind what they're learning, which leads to deeper...
