I thrive upon the written word and spend vast amounts of time reading and listening to books: French classics (in French, for the sheer joy of it), young adult novels in English, Austen and Gaskell, biographies. I love stories and the words used to recount them. I also run, which gives me time to make more stories in my mind, and I write down tales as they come to me, although I have...

...range of subjects, but I'm happiest tutoring history, the GRE, and the SAT--the first because I've loved it since I could read, and the latter two because I think they are highly solvable and I want to make sure students get a chance to learn how to solve them. I'm a firm believer in tutoring in the style of a conversation. Obviously I'm imparting knowledge, but I don't want to lecture and I don't want...
