...reach said response. I honestly believe that anyone can learn anything given enough time and patience. I try my best to not only be a teacher but also a role model to my students and to interact with them as people not just clients.

...even found fun. Okay, maybe not the reading comprehension section, but the logic sections shouldn't be a chore to study! Fueled by my overseas teaching experience (where my 6-year old students knew very little English), I have a strong ability to communicate in the most basic terms possible, quickly turning complicated problems into solvable ones. A self-identifying nerd, my childhood obsession with Harry Potter has grown into an adulthood obsession. I love to watch TV...

...understand calculus, improve their reading comprehension, and excel on assignments and tests for more than five years. I strive to not only prepare students to exceed academic standards but also to be critical thinkers and curious, well-informed human beings.

As a scholarship student at IU, I majored in economics, cognitive science, and...

As someone who wants to pursue research and teaching as a career, I...

...of 240 students in middle-of-nowhere rural Connecticut. Plain and simple: I wouldn't have made it to Harvard without finding a way to enjoy studying for the SATs and other tests. My goal is to share that enthusiasm with my students. The test might be frustrating, and it might seem pointless, but I insist that every hour spent on SAT prep is a priceless investment in your future. (...and I have an economics minor!)... Any student can...

...greater understanding of broader fields of inquiry, so that they reach a greater understanding of how the different academic domains are connected and interdependent. Outside of academics, I am a Midshipman in the Navy ROTC program at my school and hope to someday serve as a Submarine Officer in the Pacific.

...their studying for exams. I also was teaching assistant for upper level chemistry and biology lab courses, where I helped students during lab periods complete and understand their experiments, assisted them in writing up those labs afterward, and reviewed lab reports for the professors. I also tutored high school students in the area on a variety of subjects including math and science. Personally I've benefited from tutoring on both the SAT and the MCAT, and...

...background. In short, I love writing, I love science, and I love math, and I love helping others succeed in these areas. This passion is all the more authentic due to my previous experience growing up as someone who faced learning difficulties in math and who entered the STEM field with a non-science background. I know what it feels like to struggle, and I also know how to overcome negative expectations about our ability (both...

...technique is one that Ive learned from favorite teachers over the years, one that inspires focused, investigative, creative learning: Im committed to the belief that the only way students learn is by by doing. I ask questions, I guide, I challenge, and I direct, but I always enable the student to find the answer on their own. I believe this is the only way that students learn not only to do the work, but to...

...(and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live. Tutoring history means building stories out of a collection of facts, a love of places, peoples, and cultures both near and far that I learned young while describing my family history - with a father from Cape Town, South Africa, and a mother from New Orleans - to others. Tutoring mathematics...

...comfortable as I tutored elementary school students at the Harlem Academy in New York City, and served as a student mentor at my high school. These experiences have taught me that every child deserves our support in helping them to realize their potential, and that -- because each kid is different and has their own individual abilities and styles of learning there is no one size fits all solution to learning. Instead, most kids benefit...

I have helped many others increase their SAT performance significantly within a short amount of time by thoroughly breaking down the exam material. I enjoy working with others to help them...

...& a sessions are outdated and a banal approach to actually getting through to a student. Instead, I believe it is the duty of a tutor to inspire his/her tutees with creative study ideas and helpful organizational skills that they will be able to implement on their own outside the tutorial session. I also believe that as a tutor it is my duty to not only make sure my tutees have mastered their material, but...
