...in individualized, custom-made teaching, if you will. I am an avid runner, and in fact, having done several half-marathons, now I am registered and training for my first full marathon later this year: NYC Marathon 2015! Wish me luck! Also, being a former piano major and a lifetime music lover, I still perform chamber music as a hobby and attend concerts and operas frequently, and of course, I'm also a great fan of the theatres...

...I genuinely care about my students. I think that learning should be fun and it should encourage a student to develop a strong sense of confidence in their own innate ability to think, solve and generate new ideas. I am a life long learner even after all these years! There are so many interesting things about life that we can continue to learn. My intention is to inspire a love for learning that lasts a...

My greatest tutoring experience came as a Teacher's Aide on Long Island where I worked one-on-one with students who needed a little extra attention in certain subject areas. I am comfortable teaching a number of subjects at a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior...

...tenure, a plight shared by many educators across the United States. The bureaucratic red tape and political agendas that dominate our schools hinder the formation of a supportive "village" environment that truly nurtures and educates children. Students often face a revolving door of teachers, adjusting to new methods and faces at an unsettling pace. This turnover doesn't just affect teachers; it disrupts the vital relationships they build with students. My philosophy here is clear: the...

...like office hours or TA help sessions. Here, I would be able to ask questions that clarified topics that would otherwise take me much longer to understand. Often I would relay this information to my friends, and I felt a sense of fulfillment in teaching it. Being able to help someone along to their "a-ha!" moment and share in that experience has been one of the greatest joys of teaching. In addition, doing so not...

...and confident student. Many students suffer from anxiety when dealing with math and physics and then decide to want nothing to do with these subjects. They feel like they don't have the mind to understand mathematical concepts. But I tell you that you have the potential and mental capacity to learn the math and physics you need to excel in your courses, pass your exams and move on with your life. Understanding math and physics...

...I was known for using technology in my classroom in order to help every student learn at his or her own pace. Students often participated in online discussions using their cell phones and created essays that were posted online for other students to review. Before becoming a teacher, I was a newspaper reporter and manager at national magazines such as Harper's Bazaar and Fitness. During my career in journalism, I learned that the written word...

As a former high school teacher, I am intimately familiar with the challenges presented by math and science classes, and I am determined to help others overcome these challenges. My tutoring style is instructive but entertaining, as my students will testify.

...the way that works best for them. My teaching and tutoring philosophy is simple: all students can learn and all students should have the opportunity to learn. Despite a family's income or background, all students should have an equal opportunity to learn and access to materials and support that will help them achieve their goals. I believe I apply this philosophy while teaching and tutoring, because I push my students to want to learn. I...
