...how think through the problems so they can approach new situations without hesitation. My students have statistically been the highest in the school both in their classroom tests and on their standard tests. I've had particular success with closing the gender gap for my classes.

...as a tutor. I specialize in Mathematics and Social Studies, and also enjoy working with students on test prep. My style as a tutor is to guide students through problems and provide advice and explanations rather than presenting the solutions and process immediately. This gives students the chance to learn the material both correctly and efficiently as they are actually working through the material. I also do my best to make my explanations of concepts...

In science, I'm happy to help students currently studying AP Biology, Physics Honors, and AP Statistics. Finally, anyone needing help with ACT, SAT or PSAT Prep should come to me as I've helped students raise their scores in all sections and have achieved National Merit on the PSAT.

...calling. In my high school and college years, I would often struggle understanding concepts because I had this attitude that things were "hard"; that that was just the way it was. As I learned to teach myself and my peers when we would study, I realized that these barriers many of us have are artificial and that understanding and applying difficult concepts, from reactions in organic chemistry to pragmatic analysis, is achievable. It's my job...
