And seeing how a student can surprise themselves with their own abilities is the best thing a tutor can ask for. For mathematics,...

...can feel comfortable acknowledging their mistakes and the places where they need extra attention without feeling ashamed. I operate on a strengths-based, praise-heavy teaching style, and make my students feel like stars (because they are)!

I volunteer in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years. On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past...

...(the blocking, a quick change in costumes, changes in a script) and quickly organize that information so that I can convey it to someone else. I enjoy and excel at condensing and re-communicating facts or tasks, so that they become comprehensible to someone who may not understand them the first time around. It is not just my success at standardized tests or in my classes that will make me a great tutor, but also this...

Since graduation, I have worked at a public school in Harlem as the College Counselor working with students from grades 6-12.

Although my tutoring specialty is test...
