...double major in International Relations and Latin American Studies with a minor in Communications. One of the most rewarding aspects of tutoring is learning about new people and connecting with those I wouldn't have the opportunity to meet otherwise.

...struggling in Ancient Greek at my former high school, to helping Juniors and Sophomores help ace the SAT. My specialty is language and history, with an emphasis on Japanese, English, Latin, US history and World History, but I am also more than happy to help out those struggling with Algebra and Geometry. As someone who was once an ESL student himself, I believe that a good education rests upon the ability to comprehend, interact, and...

...teacher was when one of my students won the UC Berkeley English Department's annual Essay Prize last spring with a paper I helped her to revise. In terms of test prep, I aim for a balance between tricks (outsmarting the test) and skill development (boosting a student's reading comprehension, vocabulary, etc.). I used to be skeptical about test strategies; I got a perfect verbal score on my own SAT and consistently scored in the 99th...

...middle school English to Mathematics to AP Physics. I have always enjoyed working with students and there are few experiences more rewarding than getting a child over his or her fear of a subject that they find difficult.

...I'll ask students to stop for a second and walk me through what they are thinking in order to teach me about how they are approaching the problem. It's important to me that a student feels that the tutoring relationship is a two way street, as they already have lectures and lessons. I believe that as a tutor I am there to help guide them through the material in their own way, which can often...

...thing to teach, though, is literary analysis. I confess I was one of those nerds in college who loved the ten-page literary analysis essays!
