...communication and writing through obtaining degrees in both English and Bioengineering. I hope to use this interest to better myself as a teacher because I understand the keystone to teaching is communication and the ability to clearly express one's ideas. I have practiced these proficiencies in speaking with Caltech students, faculty, administration, and trustees throughout my time as the Vice President of the Caltech student body (2009-2010). I dealt with controversial campus-wide issues requiring compromises...

...and grammar-- after studying Creative Nonfiction for all of college, I am a master at the College Essay.

I find learning by doing to be very effective; while I will always challenge a student to grow in each session,...

...could work together to help others, which led me to the love of teaching. While I am prepared to tutor a range of subjects, I am most passionate about English, Literature, and Creative Writing. I am a lover of education, and believe that one-on-one interactions so often transpire into both deeper understanding and confidence. Outside of work, you can find me reading, writing, painting, volunteering, exercising, and spending time with family and good friends.

...I'm brand new here at Varsity Tutors, and I can't wait to get started! I began tutoring in the special needs classroom at my high school, which I continued in college, where I also tutored French students.

I am now enrolled in the CSU Long Beach teaching credential program where I am actively pursuing my dream of helping others succeed. When working with students,...

...through graduate school in subjects ranging from writing and math to theology and classical Greek, but I have most frequently worked with students preparing for various standardized tests (having received a perfect score on my SAT in high school). Whenever possible I try to teach using the Socratic method, as I find that the process of guided discovery helps with the retention and application of new concepts. I enjoy the challenge of trying to connect...

I truly enjoy mathematics, and that passion becomes a part of my...

...can achieve great results with the right motivation and training. I'm committed to helping students reach their academic goals. Having tutored for more than ten years, I'm familiar with many of the problems you students face and I've developed strategies to help you overcome them and succeed. I specialize in tutoring Mathematics (pre-algebra, algebra, calculus, statistics and mechanics)and English, in addition to these standardized tests: ISEE, PSAT, SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT.... I strongly believe in the importance of educating the next generation. Education is the best way to achieve wealth and happiness.

...particularly in the high pressure scenarios of public speaking and standardized testing, is confidence in one's own abilities. I think the competitive intensity of the classroom can hamper many students' confidence, but tutoring can remedy this by creating a safe and individualized environment for learning. Beyond tutoring, I am passionate about filmmaking, writing, photography, and international travel (my recent trips have included Germany, the Netherlands, the UK, Bosnia, Japan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, and Cambodia.)
