My teaching philosophy is centered around intrinsic motivation, believing that the best results come when we are genuinely interested in exploring our curiosity, building our...

...them. I think that I can help out in many ways with scientific/mathematical problems people have hard time with. If I am unfamiliar with the concept, I am always trying to at least look over some notes and figure things out on my own to help out as much as I can. My main goal for tutoring, is to provide people with more than one way of explaining a single problem. I want to make...

Candidate for Sloan Degree in Business Finance with a minor in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)

...something like a game: there's a goal, there's someone to collaborate with, there are strategies to use, and if you let yourself you can have fun doing it. The mindset of curiosity and enthusiasm that comes from a game is powerful when used in a math or science setting. I also make a point of emphasizing thinking actively about different strategies when doing schoolwork, studying, reading, and test-taking. I believe the best student is someone...

I am fluent in German (both speaking and reading), and I studied Spanish extensively in school. My teaching experience includes tutoring throughout middle and high school, as...

...information as axiomatic - I like to understand why something is true before moving forward. As I learn, if something new contradicts something I learned before, I prefer to investigate and clarify the discrepancy to the extent possible rather than just trying to remember the exception - of course, in science, there's still a lot we don't know yet! I believe this insistence on solid foundations makes me especially effective at explaining concepts to students...

...new environment, which can be confusing and overwhelming, as well as exciting! As a native Bostonian, I am well-versed in the history and culture of Boston. Boston has a rich historical heritage, from the Plymouth Colony through the American Revolution. Boston is home to world-famous colleges, theaters, and museums, and has a rich music culture (Boston Symphony Orchestra, The Boston Pops, and a lively modern music scene). And many famous Americans, such as Benjamin Franklin,...

At the core, I love learning and find it fun. In teaching, I try to convey that sense of fun to my students. I use a variety of techniques depending on my student's learning style, but I always focus on the fun of learning new things.... In a first session with a student, I would introduce the basic concepts and core questions of the subject, and determine my student's learning style in order to plan future...

...way to teach my native language to a student who is new to my language. I believe that education is the key to success, but a well-developed, trusting relationship between a tutor and a student can transform lives.
