Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Hollywood, CA

...course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too! I love to travel and have been fortunate enough to do a lot of it during my quarter-century on this planet—Russia, all over Europe, the Middle East, Venezuela, Mexico, India, and pretty much every state in this country. You...

...unique learning styles. I'm personally very visual and need to draw a picture to figure out a problem. I enjoy learning about the student's interests and incorporating them into the lesson to make it more fun and interesting. I've been working in education for about 5 years. I taught preschool and 4th grade and have tutored ages 4 to 18. My favorite subject is Math, but I enjoy working with all subjects.

...how to view the SAT as an approachable, accessible set of riddles and games instead of as an intellectual brick wall. I firmly believe that the majority of people can find great joy in academics once they discover the individual approach that works for them. I see it as my job to help them find that path. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, rock climbing, running, travel, and reading. I am also a section...

...strengths while encouraging them to improve in areas they may traditionally find challenging. Endowing a student with confidence in themselves through patience and support is the best way not only to improve academic performance, but also transform them into lifelong learners. I try to share not only my passion for knowledge with students, but also my love of sports (football, baseball, and softball), action films, and global affairs. Seeing students not only improve academically but...

...have learned over my lifetime is another gift I love to share with my students. Among others, I have used the philosophy of John Wooden when working with them. He said, “Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.” That’s all any of us can do, and it is an honor to help students develop their...

...subjects because I often feel they are our greatest keys to understanding why the world behaves as it does. I have taught numerous forms of standardized tests for admittance to high schools and colleges. It is not uncommon for my students to see significant increases in math, reading, and writing sections of these tests. I always find that the best tutoring results come from keeping sessions as fun and engaging as possible while still covering...

...my job and working with children of all ages and will soon be applying to a Masters of Science program in clinical psychology. My past experience and current work have taught me that any student can learn any material no matter what her environmental, social, medical or academic background. In fact, my philosophy is to evaluate all of these factors and use them to determine the student’s strengths so that I can tailor my teaching...

...for the performing arts, but still love learning and exercising my brain academically. My favorite subjects to work in are English and History, especially reading and writing. I have been an avid reader since I was a kid, reading every book I could possibly get my hands on. I love sharing my love of reading with others. I also really love helping students work through problems on their own and giving them new perspectives from...

...things literary. I then passed on those skills and that passion when I began teaching at Landmark School in Massachusetts. At Landmark, a school for students with language-based learning differences, I especially sought to strengthen students' reading and writing skills. Since coming to California to pursue my master's and doctorate degrees, I have continued to develop students' reading and writing skills so that they too can develop a love for the written word. Other than...

...critical thinking skills at any level. I love helping students find the way that works best for them to approach problem solving and learning. I am very interested in education and have experience working with both children and young adults in New York public schools as well as outdoor summer schools. I speak both French and Arabic and am learning Spanish, and in my free time I love to cook, read, and travel!
