...Yale University, hailing originally from Seattle in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I believe that education is one of the most fundamental aspects of a society's wellbeing, and that it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano,...

I grew up in Belgium before moving to Los Angeles in 2010, and now I live in New York. I graduated with a Bachelor's in Bioethics and Natural Sciences and recently was accepted to medical school. I am a native French and Dutch speaker (don't worry - my English is good, too!) but I also love studying and teaching sciences, including physics, general and organic chemistry, biology, as well as math and Latin.

...the GRE, so I know what's tough about these tests and how to conquer them. My tutoring philosophy is centered around teaching the core concepts of a subject, so students have a good sense of where strategies come from and how to apply them.

I also enjoy traveling, having done so extensively throughout Spain and other places in Europe, such as Rome, Paris, and Germany. There is nothing quite like speaking the native...

...thing I'm sure of, it's that I genuinely enjoy tutoring. I'm also a "professional" student. I say this because absorbing, analyzing, and integrating knowledge from my medical courses are necessary skills for my own academic success. And so, I am more than happy to share my study strategies, techniques, and tips with students. My strengths lie within the sciences (e.g. AP Biology, Biochemistry, AP Chemistry), followed by mathematics. I also enjoy teaching and tutoring Latin....

Questioning is also important in challenging students to think deeper and look closer. I also believe that all students are different, and deserve an individualized approach. The importance of an initial diagnostic on the first meeting is of utmost importance in this respect. Motivation and confidence are also incredibly important factors in learning. I try to build...
