...the most notable instructors and practitioners in the field. My interest in philosophy and first-order logic led me to undertake the LSAT as a personal challenge.

...the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in essence...

Every student has their own learning style, and every learning style can be successful.

...in New Jersey. As a tutor, I have worked with high school students in the Bronx and suburban New Jersey on reading and math skills. My passion for Literature arrived late; as the only child of a book publisher and librarian, I had to get my rebellion in somewhere. But ever since I was introduced to Kurt Vonnegut in college, reading has been an obsession. I've spent years trying to force this love into gum...

...thesis on the 1980 Berber Spring in Algeria and 2011 Libyan Revolution. During a semester abroad in Paris, I tutored elementary school children as an English language assistant. While at Wesleyan, I also worked as an ESL instructor, tutoring a Moroccan immigrant and helping him to gain citizenship and employment.

Chemical Engineering, my major, is one of the most difficult fields to pursue, and it requires the abilities of communication, patience, and perseverance. As a result, I am a team player with vast patience. In terms of my teaching methods: I am a scientist first. I have done many...

...learning and discovering new ideas. Confidence in my field has inspired people to overcome their fear and doubt of touching the subject of math and instead focus on its applications in the real world. Complex theories and ideas swarm though mathematics thus I am able to simplify these ideas for the new generation to understand. People have trust in me, and thus seek out my help for guidance and direction. Because of my education and...

...take note of how they deal with being stuck. This is crucial in physics and math because at some point everyone "hits a wall" so to speak. I find the solution to this is having the student work through lots of problems with careful prompting to get them used to thinking on their feet.

...potential and how to create optimum conditions for best performance, and will bring that same philosophy to tutoring. One of the main objectives that I will bring to my tutoring responsibilities is creating conditions that will sustain the motivation of my students to bring out their true potential through their performance irrespective of their prior preparation.

...most basic, simplest core of the concept. Once we understand that, we slowly work our way up until you understand even the most difficult concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation.

I'm not a tutor automaton though; my other hobbies/passions include piano, weight lifting, classical music (and concerts), composition, and environmental activism. In...
