...high school and even some college students. I have not only had tutees of mine pass desired classes, but I have also directly tutored students to 4s and 5s on Biology AP exams. Much of my style is student oriented and can change due to their strengths. I use approachable metaphors and similes to connect the student to the material especially as I focus on more abstract subjects from our day-to-day lives. Much of my...

...a hans-on experience, for there is much value to students doing things themselves as opposed to being talked to all the time. As an English major at Columbia University, I hope to be able to use the critical thinking skills I have acquired along my personal journey to work with students and adapt to any learning environment and situation.

...never thought history was relevant until one day in college, I stepped onto the Basilica Aemilia in Rome and was - like in some movie - stunned to physically feel that I was putting MY foot somewhere Julius Caesar had once put HIS foot. It wasn't just possible - it was a fact. I have never recovered! It is this sort of a-ha moment that I hope my students find. I approach each student question...

I have worked with children of all ages in various capacities, including teaching, and I find that the best way for students to learn is to have fun and engage them. ...
