I love taking a skill and breaking it down to its component parts and helping students figure out where the gaps are in their comprehension. One of my proudest accomplishments was teaching an algebra Regents repeater class for those who failed the test multiple times. I worked extensively with students to identify where they were struggling and remediating those areas (one example:...

...their problems. In particular, this means that my tutoring style is very student-involved: I will always begin a problem by asking the student where they think they should start, or what progress they have made on the problem. I find that the student misses a significant part of the tutoring experience if they are not the primary force behind solving the problems they bring to me, and as a result I consider myself as more...

...Brunswick School in Greenwich, CT from 2002-2006. I worked hard, and I did very well. I was admitted early to Harvard my senior year, where I enrolled in Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but it was not a choice I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience...

...tutoring for about five years now. I come from a public high school of 240 students in middle-of-nowhere rural Connecticut. Plain and simple: I wouldn't have made it to Harvard without finding a way to enjoy studying for the SATs and other tests. My goal is to share that enthusiasm with my students. The test might be frustrating, and it might seem pointless, but I insist that every hour spent on SAT prep is a...

I'm also a Senior Staff Writer for Columbia's student newspaper, the Daily Spectator, so I'm pretty...

My emphasis is on creative (and hopefully fun) learning techniques that engage my student and help him or her confront problem-solving in a way that best suits his or her learning style.
