...assistant. My professional life was also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012. When a student realizes that they truly understand a concept (not just how to do it, but WHY it's done that way) is the greatest moment for a tutor and I consider myself lucky that I can continue to tutor while working on my degree. My favorite subject to tutor is Statistics,...

During my undergraduate education, I volunteered as a tutor for elementary students.

This past year, I've been a teaching assistant in game theory for the Center for Talented Youth as well as an academic mentor with the Breakthrough Greater Boston volunteer program. What excites me most about being a math tutor is the opportunity to help middle- and high-school students resolve their confusion surrounding logical abstractions and let them ultimately take ownership of those concepts. I specialize in those subjects where frustration can...

...Being "smart" no longer means being able to rattle off the capitals of all 50 states by memory- anyone can find that information on the internet. It is about knowing how to read critically, organize and synthesize ideas, reflect, and write analytically. Writing can be a daunting task for children, but there are so many tools that can be employed to make it not only manageable, but even enjoyable. Whether you're a visual thinker and...

...questions types that are troubling you and then focus on that type of question until you understand exactly how to solve them. In addition to test-taking skills, I am happy to give advice on getting into college or law school and how to succeed once you are there. Wow, if only I had known half the things I know now! In my free time, I bicycle, hike, golf, travel, enjoy a wide variety of music...

I seek to spread knowledge and wisdom to the next generation of innovators. I am devoted to personal connections and making each student realize their potential. I love to bring positivity and optimism to most situations I encounter, and am great at on-the-spot troubleshooting. I thrive off of relationships and feeding off the energy the universe provides for us all! ... Everyone is driven to learn by a unique force that shapes them as an individual. Square pegs cannot fit into round holes, nor should they be forced. With positivity and openness, we are able to thrive in areas that we are driven, and also are more apt to gain a solid understanding of subject areas that are not as desirable to us.

My favorite subjects to tutor are math, physics, chemistry and biology. I firmly believe that in order for a class to be interesting, the teacher must be passionate about the subject. I’m very passionate about the natural sciences, mathematics and...
