...students in Test Prep, Writing and Reading, and adults in English language. I believe in hard work and having fun while prepping for important tests.

Because of my experience as a teacher and student, I firmly believe that excelling at school not only leads to great academic opportunities, but...

...of learning. I am unashamed to admit that during my academic experience, I openly sought help and tutoring from peers and friends, alike. Therefore, I understand what it is like to seek assistance, solve an issue strategically, succeed and be better off because of being honest with myself.

...and Writing/Language Arts are my favorites. Social Studies and Literature allow students to discuss their own ideas and opinions about the subject, while Math requires more problem solving to best learn the concepts.

Only by thoroughly understand 'why' can learning occur, and learning allows people to successfully engage with the world around them. Outside of teaching, I enjoy baseball, reading, movies, music,...

I aim to make my students feel better about themselves and where they are after every...

...word from beginning to endwhether it's writing a script, reading a book, or seeing the final project up on stage. When I was young, I loved reading but hated to write. Eventually I had teachers who showed me the power of what writing can do, and it changed my life. I'd like to be that person for my students. I tutor in many different disciplines, largely around English, as well as music on guitar and...

...is to be a collaborator. I am here to challenge and help, but I am not here to direct the learning. That must come from the student. I truly believe that this approach leads to more passionate and better students. I am a professional improv coach and performer as well. I feel those skills help me be a better tutor. Flexibility is important in maximizing a students potential. I am also obsessed with historical non-fiction....

...school. Each of these public school teachers created a climate within the class that promoted learning and student achievement. Over the years, I have met many professionals that have shared horror stories about their experiences with teachers who doubted them or did not set them up for success. As an educator, I have become cognizant of the fact that I ultimately create the learning environment of my students. Knowing that students depend on me each...

...and musician. I live in New York. I'm continually learning, reading, and researching, and I enjoy sharing my understandings with others to help them do the same.

For this reason, I enjoy helping people who tend to prefer a particular mode to understand the other, in a language that...
