...week. I enjoy tutoring organic and physical chemistry, but I am most passionate about general chemistry because it provides the foundation for thinking about chemical reactions between molecules; the knowledge of which all later chemistry subjects rely upon. In my experience teaching and tutoring, a mixture of conceptual discussions and problem solving has been most effective for helping struggling students. In addition, I have found that relating chemistry concepts and problems to topics that are...

...enough credits (English, Biology, Calculus) to be a sophomore, technically. I used the openings that created to explore some unusual subjects: golf, martial arts, and living in Mexico for a semester.

I see learning as an adventure. You never know where it...

...the design of teaching the close reading of texts to foster a deep understanding of the ways writers use language to provide both meaning and pleasure for readers.

Writing is an integral part of my teaching core and I am comfortable teaching expository, analytical, and argumentative...

...reading off formulas or having students memorize definitions. I've found that it is also helpful to give students scenarios and examples that incorporate topics or hobbies they enjoy. In my experience, and despite what some people may initially believe, it is usually very easy to help students visualize math concepts or provide memorable activities that can make the topics seem less overwhelming and/or confusing. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with friends and...

...school afternoons were spent volunteering at my local emergency room; cooking and preparing food at a nearby homeless shelter; or providing free tutoring to elementary students living at or near the poverty line.

I know that...

...tutor English (for the ACT, for APs, writing, and the general subject), math (pre-algebra, algebra, and ACT math), psychology, social sciences, and Hebrew. My favorite subject to tutor is psychology because I love the subject! As a tutor, I aspire to make sure my student truly understands the material, rather than just knows how to answer the question.When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy reading, walking, and hanging out with friends (and my dog).

I always strive to provide diverse, engaging, and thought-provoking instruction that motivates my scholars to achieve greatness...

...developed a hybrid approach to teaching which incorporates different aspects of various styles and gives me the flexibility to tailor a personal style that is right for each student and their coursework. My favorite subject to tutor is reading. Reading was difficult for me as a student, especially during high school and college.
