...a native of Edison, New Jersey and a graduate of John P. Stevens High School. Going through the college application process is nothing if not stressful, but after a few years of analyzing my mistakes and observing others, there are many things that I wish I had known earlier.

...many years both privately and more formally in the classroom setting, focusing mainly on students in grades 9-12 (although I have worked with essentially all ages). In my career-plan, I am aiming to become a professor and researcher in the sciences and psychology--this is derived from my love of teaching and inspiring passion in others for what they may not naturally find interesting. I have cultivated many skills that are incredibly useful for students aiming...

...3rd grade students at the Pacific Art League in Palo Alto. I am most passionate about English and Literature as these subjects carry broad implications and applications for the "real world", an element of learning that I consider very important. I am also passionate about any medium of art, and believe it to be vital to the upbringing of young minds. My teaching philosophy consists of creating a judgement-free learning environment, where the student is...

...with teaching and tutoring, and I absolutely love working with students. I love helping students enjoy the process of learning and studying, because that is a skill and a disposition that they will take with them for the rest of their lives.

...of college, I still find that learning and discovering are forces that both fascinate and drive the direction of my life. As a researcher for documentary film, I have made learning about new things the center of my professional life. I am attracted to tutoring for many of the same reasons; I love witnessing the magic of the "click" of understanding that washes over a student who had previously struggled with a difficult concept and...

...in international relations. I'm passionate about teaching. My favorite jobs have involved working with students. I began working with high schoolers and middle schoolers at the Edward M.

...and guidance, every student can have a meaningful educational experience. My philosophy is that each and every student learns at his or her own pace and each with their own style. It is my job to find out which methods work best for each student. Currently, I am working with a 1st grade student who has Autism. I go to her home in the mornings before school and go through a therapy program decided on...

I took a variety of AP courses in high school and SAT Subject Tests and had to balance that academic work with being a year-round student-athlete. I am confident I know how to study effectively and manage my time, and if there is any way I can use those skills to help other students, I'd love too! When I'm not studying, I'm...

I believe that every student can learn if the right approach is used. Finding the right buttons for the student to push is the real job of the tutor.... My philosophy is rather simple, but effective. I believe that students should not be spoon-fed information, but rather that they should be helped in discovering the knowledge on their own. Not only is this more interesting and exciting for them, it leads to a sense of 'ownership'...

I have highly developed writing, studying, and test taking skills, and have spent the past 2 years learning how to best share these skills with students. I feel that the most important thing for a teacher, and a tutor, to do is to work with a student to figure out how they learn, in...

...middle school math teacher I am now (and loving it). Having taught for twenty years, I have found the one subject that seems to be especially pervasive across the others is math. Thus, I have been able to teach basic math, honors algebra, and higher level math concepts by interspersing history, music, drama, creative arts, sports, literature, and film. An appearance on Who Wants to be a Millionaire has helped fuel student interest in knowing...
