...a tutor to adjust my methods—not the student’s job to conform to them. I use my students’ strengths to help them overcome what challenges them, whether that means using imagination exercises to decode difficult reading passages or tackling grammar as though it were a math problem. Through this approach, I help my students to build confidence, thereby ensuring that they can succeed when facing problems on their own. I believe that trust and respect are...

...something in my house to sand down and repaint or refinish I take on the project as well.

...the material better. One of my favorite parts of tutoring is getting to know the students' learning style and how they think.

The information is fresh in my mind, so I can approach the content from many different angles to help the student understand the material. Outside of school, I spend a lot of my time...

...how to think is much more useful than knowing what to think. My sessions are characterized by frequent questions and discussion of basic concepts, making sure that each student understands not just the "what" but the "why" of each topic so that each new concept builds on the last. I strives to foster independence and a love of learning in all of my students, beginning with myself; it's always easier to remember concepts that were...

...a student to do well on a standardized test when that student feels like they're "no good" at that subject, and no one has shown them otherwise? And the number of hard-working parents who know what their children are capable of find themselves having the same converstion over and over again. "If you just applied yourself..." Students who apply themselves are students who have been shown that they are worth investing in. Once a student...

...as well. In my experience helping college students with Organic Chemistry, expressing complex ideas in a couple sentences or diagrams is the most rewarding part of my work since it yields the most excited responses. I am a firm believer in the 'growth mindset,' where a topic deemed difficult is one that will become easy with practice and understanding. For me, the sentence "I don't understand this," is incomplete without a "yet." Overall, I am...

...students, to which my mom was in despair. But she was in joy when she spotted my name on the addendum list of students who were waitlisted to the program in the following weeks.
