My passions are writing and logical argumentation. I've seen success in both fields. For the former, I've had a letter to the editor published in the New York Times, successfully finished a 40-page thesis as part of my undergraduate education, and currently write for Ordinary Times, a group blog whose alumni have gone on to write full-time for Forbes, the Atlantic, and other prestigious publications. For the latter, I scored in the 98th percentile of the LSAT and achieved admission to a a top-25 law school with a generous scholarship.It's tremendously fulfilling to see students grow as writers and as thinkers as they progress through a curriculum, something I am very fortunate to witness. I would be honored if you selected me to help you on your journey.

I received my Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics from the University of California, Santa Cruz. I also hold a certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from the University of California, Santa Barbara. I have experience tutoring ESL privately in Brazil and through Skype. I also have experience tutoring Spanish and the clarinet. I tutor many aspects of English including reading, writing, test prep, literature, grammar, and essay editing. I also tutor any level of Spanish, including test prep for SAT subject tests or Spanish Language AP tests. I also tutor Japanese, clarinet, and public speaking. My favorite subjects to tutor are any involving ESL or foreign language as I have a passion for language learning and teaching. I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese, and have also studied Japanese, German, Brazilian Sign Language, and Italian. I would describe my teaching philosophy as friendly but structured. I use lesson plan organization techniques including lesson plan outlines and back-up activities in case a certain activity does not go as planned. I also am familiar with teaching methodologies, learning styles, and how certain methodologies are appropriate for certain learning styles. Outside of Academia I enjoy playing video games, specifically Japanese role playing games (RPGs). I also enjoy unicycling, and juggling.

I am really excited about working with students in the Philadelphia area! I grew up in Northern Virginia and graduated high school with an IB diploma. For college, I moved to Houston to attend Rice University, where I majored in Psychology. I then earned a masters degree in Religion at Yale and I am now working towards a degree in Bioethics at UPenn. I also completed the premedical requirements during this time.In Connecticut, I worked as a chaplain in a community hospital. Upon moving to Philadelphia, I found a position at CHOP as a research assistant and then transitioned to a job as an OB/GYN research coordinator at HUP. Outside of academia, I work as a barista and I skate on an adult synchronized ice skating team in Philly!

I did my undergraduate work at Arizona University, where I majored in Psychology, with a minor in Statistics. While I tutor Chinese, Psychology, and math I find math the most interesting and challenging. I like to explain the world with math concepts, which is easy and beautiful. Since I studied my math in China, I feel comfortable to transfer these concepts to the US classroom.I consider math and psychology as sciences and I believe the two can be used to understand each other.Besides math and psychology, as I've mentioned, I also tutor Chinese. In fact, I am currently tutoring an elementary student. Through my tutoring experience I have found ways to modify standards and to to gain feedback from my student. As I am a linguistic lover, I like to explore the language field with my student by sharing the topics we both like most.In the free time, I like to read new academic information in my field of study, play basketball and travel. Arizona is an amazing state and I am excited to see all it has to offer!

I am a very dedicated student and I strive for excellence. I enjoy helping students reach their full potential in their academics. I help students to understand the material they are struggling with, by exploring which learning method fits them best, because not every student learns the same way. I am very well structured, organized, and patient. I love to help people and it just brings a smile to my face when I see a student start to understand something that they have been having trouble with. My strongest subjects are English and Psychology. I am currently attending the University of North Texas for Psychology and have obtained my Associates of Arts degree, I am currently in the process of obtaining my Bachelors of Arts, and after that I will be attending graduate school to obtain my PhD. I push students to be able to be the best they can be, and when you have the confidence in your abilities in your academics, that confidence carries over to everyday life, for a well-rounded individual.

I went to college at NYU Abu Dhabi, the world's honors college, where I obtained a Bachelor of Arts in psychology, and I attended high school in New Hampshire at Phillips Exeter Academy. I'm currently applying for medical schools and hope to matriculate in the fall of 2017.I tutor a broad range of high school and college subjects, but my favorites by far are Spanish and chemistry. I started studying Spanish when I was 10 years old, and fell in love with the idea that suddenly I could communicate with a whole other community of people. Since becoming fluent in Spanish, I've continued to pursue my love of languages by studying Arabic and Mandarin Chinese in school, as well as picking up German from my Austrian family and French from my travels. I'm currently teaching myself Russian with the online learning software Duolingo.Chemistry has always been my favorite of the three core sciences, as it's more concretely observable than much of modern physics, but more connected to underlying physical principles than biology. My approach to teaching chemistry is to always keep in mind its connection to the other sciences, which can facilitate a better grasp on many chemical concepts.My approach to tutoring is based in the Harkness philosophy of teaching, which gives a great deal of responsibility to the student to figure things out. I will make sessions as interactive as possible, using as many non-academic resources as I can in order to help students think of subjects as life skills rather than material they must know for a test. I want students to be motivated to learn for the sake of learning something new, rather than simply to pass a test.When I'm not tutoring or writing my medical school applications, I enjoy teaching myself new languages and reading works by authors such as Haruki Murakami, Ernest Hemingway, and James Joyce. I also love to travel whenever I get the chance, and most recently have visited Ireland, Norway, and Austria.

I am in the process of transitioning careers from an attorney to a high school social studies teacher. I plan to start teaching in the fall. I have a rich background in a rigorous liberal arts education thatwould enable me to tutor in a diverse range of subjects, as well as guide students to think more critically, read more closely, and write more crisply and powerfully. My legal education and experience have further enhanced these skills. Most importantly, I love learning and have come realize that it is my vocation to share and impart that love of learning in others.As beautifully put by Roman Stoic philosopher Seneca in his moral epistles: "[P]art of the joy in learningis that it puts me in a position to teach; nothing, however outstanding and however helpful, will ever give me any pleasure if the knowledge is to be for my benefit alone. If wisdom were offered me on the one condition that I should keep it shut away and not divulge it to anyone, I should reject it. There is no enjoying the possession of anything valuable unless one has someone to share it with."

I've been tutoring Verbal Test Prep since first taking the tests myself, and have worked at two Tutoring Centers providing intensive instruction to high school juniors and seniors preparing for their SAT/ACTs. Accurate grammar, the ability to read quickly and efficiently, effective essay structuring, and time management strategies are essential to test success, and form the core of my lessons. I've always been a high scorer and excellent test taker, and have refined my abilities through years of teaching, and would love to share my experience with you!I also have extensive experience in tutoring high school and middle school academics, including AP and IB Psychology, and academic writing, and have worked with students across a range of ages and skill levels to achieve their academic goals. I am a TEFL certified English language teacher, with multiple years of experience teaching English overseas, having lived in both Thailand and Laos, and worked with students of all ages and skill levels. My lessons have ranged from language activation and phonics in kindergarten, to grammar instruction with teens, to conversational business English with adults.Whether Test Prep, ESL, or academic tutoring, I take great pride in my work, and am committed to my students' success. I attribute my success in school to my love of learning, and I endeavor to share this enthusiasm with those I work with, and strive to make my classrooms fun and engaging environments in the pursuit of that end.

I am currently studying towards my graduate degree at Columbia University. I've received my BA in philosophy from Durham University in England. Throughout my studies I have developed extensive logical and reasoning skills that I believe were key to my academic success, and skills which I believe anyone can acquire with proper instruction. This combined with my familiarity with the GRE means I can help you achieve the result you wish. My way of teaching focuses on understanding instead of rote memorization and that each pupil is best suited for a tailored teaching plan that takes into account your current abilities, time commitments, strengths/weaknesses, and desired result.My hobbies and interests include reading (literature), creative writing, calligraphy, and video games. I grew up in bilingual household, so I can also speak Mandarin in a near-native level and studied and travelled extensively in Europe and Asia. I hope to be a writer someday, and I would describe myself as laid-back, easy going and multicultural.

I am a senior studying Film Production at Emerson College. Though I am pursuing a career in filmmaking, I am also passionate about education. I have volunteered extensively to tutor children through various programs. At the Rosedale Achievement Center in the Bronx, I worked one-on-one with a high school student and with a middle school student. I helped them understand their school work in subjects including English, French, Algebra, Chemistry, History and Religious Studies. I also volunteered with Free Arts NYC, through which I, along with a group of tutors, taught small groups of elementary and middle school students about various famous artists and art techniques, and lead them in art projects. I have also taught swimming lessons as a Water Safety Instructor for several years; I taught children from age 4 to age 15 at Brookhaven Country Day Camp and at the Fresh Air Fund. These lessons taught me how to break down complex concepts to make them simple to understand. Furthermore, I am passionate about writing. I understand structure, conventions, and grammar of both academic and fiction writing, and I enjoy helping others improve their writing.
