...psychology. My favorite subject to tutor is psychology because I find it to be very applicable in life. I believe that learning shouldn't have to be hard and that we should appeal to all of our senses when learning.

When solving math and physics problems the best place to start is with the fundamentals. Sometimes I have to start with, "So what happens when you let go of your pencil?" Or, "When I divide by ten on this side what do I have to do to the other side?" Oftentimes, students just need someone to help them think about a problem in a methodical way.

Learning is a constant pursuit - we do it every day, in everything that we do. But learning isn't something that we do alone - it's a shared experience, something that we can't do without experts and teachers and family. And, if you need a hand up with whatever subject you're struggling with, I'm happy to help out.

...about pretty much anything, from medieval knights to physics. I'm also really interested in metacognition, or "thinking about thinking", which teaches you to "learn how to learn better", and so if I'm your tutor, you might hear me say interesting stuff about how to learn better, which is just me passing on tips that may help you do better in school! Also, if I'm your tutor you can be sure that I'm going to do...

...play such a huge role in your future. My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn...

...to do! I quickly understood what they meant. My whole life I've been a good student. I've taken challenging courses, studied, and tried my best.
