I have taught children and young adults ages 3-15, and I have tutored at the collegiate and graduate level, as well.

...in a group called "Know Your Rights" that went around to local schools and taught students of various ages and backgrounds about their legal rights and the correct way to deal with various situations they might find themselves in. While I tutor in a variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are standardized tests such as the SAT and LSAT as there truly is a science behind approaching questions, finding contextual clues and eliminating...

...goals and no one style fits everyone. I maintain flexibility and adjust my methodologies for each student that I work with. However, I generally like to keep my sessions casual, focusing on improving the student's confidence and scores, as I have found that some students become discouraged when they struggle.

...to tailor each tutoring session to the individual student's needs, and focus on whatever areas are most important or challenging to them. I like to approach the LSAT as a game or puzzle, and encourage students to challenge themselves to solve the questions that they find most difficult, rather than letting them become a source of frustration. Outside of work and tutoring, I enjoy spending time with my dogs, reading, hiking, and playing softball.

...I find it tremendously satisfying to help students conquer those initial hurdles and gain a feeling of mastery and confidence. I am patient, and I encourage my students to be patient as well. I also help students face—and in so doing, conquer—their fear of failure. We practice not fearing mistakes, but seeing them as opportunities to learn, hone skills, and grow more confident. One of my strongest attributes as a tutor is my ability to...

I scored well on my standardized tests (LSAT, ACT, AP Tests-5 on eleven different tests) and like helping other people do the same. Those tests are all beatable, and I think they can even be kind of fun once you start to feel yourself mastering them. Plus, it's rewarding to see my students' scores improve, which is almost guaranteed with the right...
