...easier for a student to approach me with questions or a simple I have no idea whats going on in this math problem. When it comes to standardized testing, I firmly believe that test-taking is a skill in and of itself the SAT, for example, tests ones math and verbal abilities, but it also tests your ability to take the SAT, which is a skill that can be taught and practiced. Outside of academics, I...

...and experienced tutor, I understand that the sciences pose unique and varied challenges to students. One of my primary goals is to meet students where they are, understand their specific needs, and develop an individualized plan that challenges them and helps them succeed.

It is important for me to understand how a student learns...

Please feel free to contact me to set up a meeting time if you think I...

I have several years of experience mentoring and tutoring and I am confident that success will not elude us. You will not regret using...

...tests and leave the battle in victory, not resignation. I've been speaking French since I was old enough to read and I have a Russian heritage that can help out with colloquialisms and grammar. Languages and linguistics are fascinating to me and I don't get to speak mine enough, so please speak them with me! My physics background, as well as my years of teaching, means I know a disturbing amount of math (through advanced...

...I enjoy both sciences and humanities (particularly when they overlap), and I graduated with a BS from Duke University in Biology & Philosophy. Tutoring for me is about encouraging students to do their best. Studying is a matter of opening oneself up to the perspectives of a discipline, and everyone is naturally capable of this. Academic achievement is a matter of mindful planning, building on one’s strengths, and confident execution, and I know from experience...
