...they not only understood how to solve problems but began to enjoy the learning process. Through these experiences, I have learned some of the best ways to adapt to different kinds of students and hone in on different strategies for different levels. I've been very involved with the debate team, competing in Lincoln Douglas debate for four years. In my free time, I love to draw, listen to music, and play the clarinet.

...the teacher, though, comes from the dialogue about why the material matters or how an idea works. Not that a historical event happened but what made it happen. Not the mere fact that mathematical formulas work but why they work and what that can achieve. This is what makes learning interesting for students and instructing a joy for teachers - the process and the dialogue. It doesn't mean learning is always fun - it can...

I always tailor my sessions to the the student's specific needs...

...Don't ask me about my 30m or my mile time, but if you must know, I can run a lap of a track in under a minute. When I'm not running to a finish line, you can usually find me running to a train, plane, or automobile, or, on a good day, sitting in a park or on a beach with a good book (currently: Umberto Eco's "The Name of the Rose"). I've seen many...

...the distinct pleasure of tutoring students in English and Social Studies related classes.

...research methods and interned in the Folger Shakespeare Library's Education Department. As a tutor, I've helped students with grammar, vocabulary, writing, critical reading, and literary analysis. Although I'm comfortable tutoring on a number of subjects, I particularly enjoy teaching English, writing, and critical reading. I like working one on one with students, helping them to think through problems, formulate opinions, and articulate their thoughts. This involves working on vocabulary, grammar, and writing mechanics. These are...

...practice. I teach my students by starting with the fundamentals and working my way up. This makes it easier for my students to remember what they have learned throughout the semester/year, and it helps them pick up new concepts quickly. When I am not studying or tutoring, I love to read, exercise, and explore. My favorite author is Stephen King, my favorite sports are basketball and snowboarding, and my favorite food is popcorn! I just...

I am a graduate of...

I received consistently positive evaluations, particularly with regards to...

...Iowa City. For me, learning isn't just about gaining specific knowledge and skills. It's about the excitement that comes from encountering new things, and about growing into a more confident and capable version of oneself. This is an idea that informs all my teaching and tutoring work: I want to help guide my students toward a deeper investment in their own learning. When I'm not teaching, I'm probably reading, writing, cooking, or exploring Brooklyn by...

...stake in their education. I also believe that education is not simply the memorization of facts and their regurgitation, but the method by which a person learns to pursue their passions. As a tutor, my aim is to do whatever it takes to light that fire and keep it burning. Through scientifically documented means, the student can begin to take control of their education and use it as a means to pursue their goals in...
