...have taken the GRE (preping to take the specialized Physics GRE in October). Math has always been somewhat intuitive for me, but once I got to college I knew I needed additional help. I know how much an outside perspective can help solve a frustrating problem and understand how important patience is in learning concepts that are somewhat difficult to grasp. Love being active, biking around Boston, and tackling some of math's harder monsters.

...a fun and engaging way. I have a passion for helping people explore their unknowns, and believe that showing both the "how" and the "why" to concepts is the key for long lasting understanding of a concept. I encourage students to come up with their own strategies to problems so that the learning process is more interactive and deep-rooted, and believe this type of learning will benefit anyone in many other aspects of their life.

...school in the future. My experience tutoring Biology and Math has taught me the importance of getting through to each student as an individual, and that every person's learning style is different. I believe the most valuable learning comes when students are encouraged to solve problems using their own basic knowledge and skills, rather than being told to memorize a certain formula or simply being given the answer. This is what I strive to do...
