...students enrolled in courses I was also taking or had taken in the past and supported fellow students studying for the MCAT. I tutor a wide range of subjects, but I most enjoy tutoring math, calculus, physics, chemistry, biology, and French, since these seem to be some of the most challenging subjects for students and I love watching their confidence grow as they grasp difficult concepts. For math/calculus and physics especially, my students love the...

The most significant of these skills are doctoral-level writing along...

...another and ground my style of teaching in what best suits my students as well as mastery of the topic. In today's educational climate, not every student has the opportunity to feel successful in their studies. To me, it is important to empower all students and encourage their desire to learn after all, exams and grades are only temporary, but knowledge lasts forever! I wholeheartedly enjoy teaching all subjects that fall within the realm of...

...application process. I am a higher ed administrator and former school counselor who walks alongside students as they self-actualize so that they can realize their full potential and achieve their dreams.

As a low-income student from Texas public schools, I recognized early on the tools and resources needed to navigate challenging classes, applications, college campuses, and beyond. I have since used those tools...

I am a true believer that education is a lifelong journey for everyone: "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" - Nelson Mandela.

...not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected an intelligent, organized, and serious mentor that was heavily invested in my success. To have a mentor that is invested in your success is a fantastic feeling. Suddenly, my motivation increased, my grades improved and I was accepted into very good colleges and programs. That was my goal. I couldn't reach that goal without my mentor. My mentor taught me more than...

I went on to start tutoring students...

...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 free time playing and listening to...

...portion of my time was dedicated to helping students improve their academic writing. This experience taught me the most common problems students encounter in academic writing including lack of clarity, redundancy, the inability to structure an argument, and the most common spelling and grammar mistakes.
