...excited to be formally tutoring. It will give me a chance to exercise my passion both for education and working with others.

Though my résumé goes into detail about my relevant previous experiences, here is a summary of who I am and what I have...

...the past 16 years of teaching elementary and middle school, I have seen children thrive and excel in otherwise difficult subjects if they have the tools to approach learning. I am well versed in differentiated instruction, am creative, and always get to really know my students and their learning styles so that I can help them. In addition to my teaching experience, I have given many workshops on the Common Core State Standards and know...

As a tutor, I've worked with high school students on SAT, TOEFL and IELTS prep and as a writing mentor at Wesleyan, I've helped both freshmen and seniors structure, craft, and refine their essays.

I use the Socratic method to evaluate a student's needs and potential for improvement, and implement positive reinforcement to boost their confidence and desire to learn. I approach challenges with patience, enthusiasm and clarity, and encourage my students to...

...I close the door to the study room, sit down with one of my students, and ask her or him, "So, what do you need help with?" I am in my element. I enjoy it because I had such a great experience with my teachers and professors in high school and college. They were positive role models for me, and they got me interested in their subjects.

To me, there is nothing nobler than encouraging and coaching kids to be successful, along the way building scholarly habits that will last a lifetime.

After some time with the tech industry and some gap time in Japan and working back in NYC, I'm back at school at NYU, studying for a more general liberal arts degree. I'm great with standardized tests, SAT, PSAT, AP; if the College Board makes you sit in a room for it, I can probably help you out, and of course I have experience with New York's SHSAT. Most...

...projects that make learning about it more interesting. I must admit that like many students, I hated math growing up, but somehow math found its way into my heart (throughout my ten years of teaching) and it refuses to leave! When I am not teaching, I am swimming, dancing, or singing out loud and off key. I try to incorporate fun and laughter into my life whenever possible and LEARNING IS THE GREATEST PART OF...

Some of my best days have been in these classrooms, and it is...

...Western Reserve University, a year early, with a bachelors degree in Biochemistry. My science background has taught me the value of good teaching, and has consequently impacted how I, myself tutor students. I tutor students in the SAT/ACT math and writing sections, biological sciences, and middle school level math/algebra. My goal in tutoring each student is to not only get the student to understand the material, but to also enjoy their process of learning!
