...to Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UPenn, and NYU Law Schools. I most enjoy tutoring subjects that are distinctively analytical, like the LSAT, philosophy, and logic. I think these subjects are a unique challenge to teach because students only develop the necessary skill if they are able critically think through the problems at hand. I thus do my best to guide my students thinking processes, rather than tell them the answers. I spend most of my...

I'm dedicated to helping student improve in anyway that I can. Making sure the future generations are prepared for the next step.

...Physically writing something down with a pen or pencil can help your brain retain information better than typing it. I believe in-person learning to be more effective because it allows the tutor to actually experience what a student is like so that the tutor can more easily adjust teaching metods. Though I prefer to work this way, I can't meet every student in person. And if a student truly needs my help this way, we...

I graduated with a B.S. in Physics and currently work as an electrical engineer as I pursue my M.S. in Electrical Engineering. I am a scientist at heart and enjoy helping people find their spark in learning.

I also have found teaching is a give and take with students and work hard to make sure that my teaching methods are adaptable enough to any student needs.

As a result, enabling wide ranging debates, perspective and and interpretation is vital to success. Students in a humanities class aren't wrong; their points are either valid or invalid based on the facts used to back up their opinion. Similar to a hard science and a lab report, humanities is a soft...

...and could be very intimidating because of his great intellectual gifts if he wanted to be. Yet I can hear and see the compassion with which he treats each person's salvation and each one who comes to him as a catechist. Inspired by him, I use the same approach in teaching/tutoring. I have many years of experience as a top student. This enables me to pass on proven work/study strategies. I can help you more...

Math is magical when you have the wand. The only big challenge is to find it.... No student would hate Math if explained in his/her "language."... Introductions and assessments.... Using technology and visual explanation.... Listening, assessing and supporting the right ideas.... Encouraging the good steps and motivating the next ones. Finding a victory at every topic.... Lectures, technology, solving problems live, and accepting challenges as the student presents them.... Highlighting his good sides, and helping the...
