...standardized tests and believe that with the right preparation any student has significant control over their outcome on test day; this is partly a result of taking control over my own destiny when it came to the SAT, GRE, and most recently LSAT tests, on all of which I significantly improved on my own performance by following a disciplined regimen. I try to build a relationship with students that motivates them to succeed by learning...

...I have found it is helpful for students to work with someone relatively close to their own age. As someone who enjoys problem-solving for its own sake, I often find myself in the position of explaining difficult concepts and abstract ideas to people with very different backgrounds and personalities than my own. Generally, people learn best from examples they find relevant, interesting, and concrete. My main hobby outside of class is music. I play viola...

My preferred subjects are history, literature, reading comprehension, and writing, and I can tutor verbal sections for standardized tests including the GRE.

In subjects related to math, I review the foundational concepts in...

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring. To succeed, you need more than just some academic knowledge -- you need the right mindset and a confidence in your own abilities as well. I try to instill that into my students.

Additionally, having just completed the Economics degree at Columbia, I am also well equipped to tutor for microeconomics, macroeconomics, and most mathematics courses. Otherwise, my favorite subject to tutor would definitely be English and Creative Writing. I am especially well-equipped to help workshop/revise college admission essays, because...

...and group settings for students from all walks of life, whether it be editing college essays or navigating common core math with third-grade students. However, I do have a preference for teaching students privately, as I believe everyone learns in a different manner and different pace. As a result, I am always adapting the way I explain concepts to play to the student's strengths and contextualize the information in a way that is easily understood...

...help students reach their full potential in the classroom and the workplace. My approach to teaching is not to just to impart information, but to share information in such a way that will empower students to ask questions. This approach will strengthen their ability to think critically and solve challenging problems. Seeing the joy in students eyes when they finally grasp a concept is the ultimate reward. When I'm not working I love playing tennis,...

...more than just a bunch of basic practice problems and rote writing exercises. Tutoring should not be a "one size fits all" approach.

...with most of my experience being in standardized test prep and English. The most fulfilling moments that I have with my students are when I see them applying previous lessons and skills to new challenges.

Firstly, it is vital that students can relate to the subject which they are struggling with; otherwise it becomes tedious and irrelevant for them to learn.
