...I discovered tutoring while I was studying to teach in college and ever since I have found it suits my love of working closely with dedicated students. I have more than five years of experience tutoring students and have had the honor of watching them blossom as students and as people.

...my success. I most enjoy teaching environmental and earth science, but also enjoy teaching math and writing. I most enjoy when those subjects intersect or finding a way for them to intersect depending on the skills of my students.

Therefore, I try and incorporate experiential education as much as possible in my teaching. Outside of tutoring,...

As an engineering student, I am very familiar with high level math, physics, chemistry, and other STEM courses, as well as English, writing, and public speaking.

...name just a few. I have even had one or two less conventional teaching jobs, such as martial arts instructor and audition coach. My favorite subject to teach, though, remains the SAT: I love the satisfaction of beating the test at its own game, and I am always deeply gratified when my students go from cowering in terror at the name of standardized testing to whizzing through tough math sections with relish. I also love...

...In the liberal arts, I want to help train you to harness your thoughts and proofread your essays. I believe all students have good ideas, the difference between an A essay and C essay is how well those ideas are articulated. I want my students to become confident in themselves, and comfortable with the concepts, with the ultimate aim of being able to excel on their own without needing my help. Outside of academics, I...

I hope to instill a love and excitement for whatever subject I am tutoring with my students by tailoring each lesson plan to his/her specific learning style and personal interests. Every subject can be made into a dynamic learning and growing opportunity! When I'm not studying or teaching, you can find me practicing yoga or playing a pick-up game of soccer with my friends. I love the outdoors...
