...cum laude from UCLA with a BS in Applied Mathematics with a minor in Chinese. I have about two years of experience in tutoring students. I tutor high school and college level mathematics and SAT/ACT preparation.

I revise my tutoring strategies to fit each student's...

...at UC Berkeley, expecting to graduate next spring with a degree in Engineering Physics. Since I began tutoring, it has always been my philosophy to make sure the student understands a subject by breaking down concepts in the easiest way. My passion for the sciences drives me to not only teach what is on paper, but offer deeper insights to the material. I also love to laugh, and because of that, I try to make...

...based on encouragement and always validating the opinions of the student before steering the student in the right direction. The student must be willing to learn and absorb information, as well as willing to work with me on a schedule that will match our goals and get the desired result.

...high school! But when I got to college, I got to use math for all kinds of awesome projects. Designing boats! Controlling wind turbines! Shooting rockets underwater! I like to keep math rooted in the real world. I can teach you the basics of geometry, algebra, calculus and statistics, but more interestingly I can show you how to use what you learn to master the world around you. I'm not a professional teacher, I'm just...

...have found great satisfaction in helping students organize their thoughts and learn to express themselves clearly and confidently. Many people are nervous and uncertain when tackling a written project, and it is always gratifying when they overcome this block and discover how surprisingly eloquent and articulate they can become. When I am not writing or reading, I like hiking through old-growth redwood groves and exploring the beautiful Northern California coast, as well as relaxing with...

...by myself with my own exceptional strategies and so I am very comfortable helping students with every section of the test. When I tutor, I tailor my teaching style so that I can pinpoint the exact misunderstanding my student has with the concepts/material they are trying to learn. This style makes me an efficient and effective tutor. I am a huge NBA fan and I also love to choreograph hip-hop dance during my downtime. Playing...

I love teaching pretty much anything! I began tutoring English, math and science as a freshman in college, then added dance and aerial acrobatics to my repertoire. Now, I specialize in all things English, writing, reading, French and anatomy.

...I will have mastered a material if I can teach another person these concepts and come up with my own examples to illustrate my understanding. I will infuse this goal within my tutoring sessions, engaging tutees to really learn and challenge them to think critically. Another important aspect of my tutoring goals is to help the tutee. Be clear and transparent with me about your goals and struggles, and I will do my best to...

...no question is too insignificant to ask while simultaneously encouraging them to be active participants in the sessions so that they can better retain the material we cover and better analyze problems or questions for improved success! Some of my favorite activities outside of work include breaking out some tunes on my violin or guitar, experimenting in the kitchen with cooking various cuisines, staying active outdoors, and playing with my friends' and family's cats.

...I and II, and the Cold War. My rigorous studies also ensured that I became confident and well studied in geography, essay and research writing, and analysis of primary and secondary sources. History is my first love, but I plan to continue my studies in the direction of an Earth Science for my Masters in several years. After completing the extremely competitive Southwestern Advantage internship this past summer, during which I worked 80 hours a...

...ESL tutoring to students with a diversity of backgrounds, ages, and nationalities. During law school, I taught full-length LSAT courses and provided private LSAT tutoring for a test preparation company. Indeed, I have a special place in my heart for the LSAT, and I think it's a test that becomes much more manageable with a lot of practice and a solid understanding of its mechanics. I just moved to the Bay Area from Alaska, where...

...kids to become autonomous and self-motivated learners. I've always seen it as a challenging job, but also as enriching, enlightening, and awesome (and I mean awesome in the strongest sense of the word)! I am so happy to be able to continue that work with Varsity. In terms of the subjects I am comfortable teaching, of course Math and French are what I have the most experience with. But I would love to be given...

...(or middle school) students can benefit greatly by learning what to expect in college. I actually didn't even like Chemistry until I went to college! In college, some of the details that seem to be missing from your high school textbook are clarified, and I can give students some of that insider information now. I also understand the importance of college entrance exams like the ACT and can help with test-taking strategies, subject material help,...
