Award-Winning ISEE Tutors in Raleigh-Durham, NC

...a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my undergraduate degree in political science. Right after graduation, I worked as an academic and test prep tutor as well as admissions consultant in Hong Kong. For the past two years, I worked with a number of students to help prepare them for college in the United States. Even though I tutor a wide range of subjects, I enjoy teaching English and standardized test preparation...

I'm really passionate about math. I believe ALL students can be successful in math and that mistakes are opportunities to learn. As a math teacher, I find it really important to help students see the beauty and meaning in math rather than learning a bunch of tricks that generate the "right" answer. Remember: there's no such thing as a math gene!

As cliche as it sounds, I love learning! I also love watching a student's face when that light bulb goes off and they just "get it." That's why I teach (and why I tutor) - to give students the most chances to have their light bulbs go off so that they can become the best students they can be!... I use a first session to get to know the student, let them get to know me, set expectations, and have them work through a couple of problems to see where they need extra help.

I am a computer engineering student at North Carolina State University. I really love teaching since it brings me joy when my peers and students understand material that was once confusing to them. I know how frustrating it is to not understand a concept, so I am here to help!

...a unique balance of kindness, professionalism, and fun! Challenging all students to learn and do their best comes naturally to me. Over the past 18 years, I have taught 1000s of students, traveled the world, volunteered, and refined my strengths as a teacher, a mentor, and an expert in the neurobiological influences on learning. Working with each student is a special experience that holds a place in my heart with memories that I cherish. Naturally,...

"I CAN DO ANY AND EVERYTHING THAT I PUT MY MIND TO" This is the motto that I live by and the motto that I would like to embed into my students. ... My teaching philosophy is more student lead than teaching lead. I do not want to waste time teaching students what they know and not focus in on the parts that they need to know. Therefore, I'd rather the students work out the problems and allow for me to see what they know how to do, and I can better assist them with how to get through the parts they do not know.

...and develop powerful thinking habits. I have three years of tutoring/teaching experience with students from first grade to graduate students. By training, I'm a philosopher (MA, BA), but I also have background in religious studies (BA) and cognitive science (a minor). Cognitive science spans linguistics, psychology, anthropology, computer science, philosophy, and education. My background in logic helps me teach all standardized tests. I scored around the 95th percentile on the GRE Verbal. I can help...

...but formally taught for 5 years in Washington D.C. both public and public charter settings. I followed my heart into the classroom and instruction after pursuing a Political Science degree from Tufts University and a Masters of Public Policy & Management at Carnegie Mellon University. Since my high school days, I have worked with students of all ages, tutoring in mostly elementary reading, writing and math, as well as test prep for SAT and GRE....

...my passion for tutoring when I took a job at a tutoring center in high school, and I've been growing as an educator and honing my craft ever since. I've enjoyed tutoring in a college writing lab, a K-5 reading center, various tutoring companies and school programs, as a volunteer, and as the coordinator of a community college tutoring program. My love of tutoring, particularly in the areas of reading, writing, and critical thinking, led...

...have found joy in helping my fellow students understand course material. Math and science (especially algebra and chemistry) are my favorite subjects to tutor. I want nothing more than to make the educational process easier for those who find the journey challenging- and have fun while we do it! I am so lucky to have so many amazing students to work with, and I cant wait to add you or your student to that list....
