...every standardized test I ever took without resorting to any kind of special technique. However, as I've worked as a tutor, I've come to realize just how *many* of those tests I took for practice before I took the real thing. By the time I sat down to the real SAT, I'd been steeped in...

...I am versed in many areas, I most enjoy tutoring Mandarin, Math, and English. There's a definite gratification, too, in honing the skills to ace standardized tests. I hope to impart that enjoyment on a tutee, along with a newfound passion to learn. With intellectual curiosity, learning becomes a treat rather than an obligation.

...and cultural experience in the U.S. as a Chinese national has cultivated my enthusiasm with cross-cultural studies, especially in an educational context.

I allow students to supplement their tutoring work with educational applications, websites, and video clips. I like to use as many hands-on activities as I can. I also think...

...it wasn't always that way. I struggled with reading and writing as a kid, and math was a whole different story. However, I battled through these struggles to become a straight A student in college (at Bowdoin, an elite NESCAC school in Brunswick, ME). Because of my personal issues with school, I know better than...
