...that for me, as soon as I began to write about things I was passionate about on an individual level, I was able to unlock a lot of creativity. If students write about what they know, rather than what they think someone would like to hear, they often become much more authentic writers. I love to watch football with my roommate and friends (Go Texans!) and have started getting into basketball since I moved to...

...favourite subject to tutor. I am also comfortable tutoring for standardised tests such as the GRE and SAT. My goal is not merely to teach facts and formulas but rather to help the student develop the intuition behind them. I value critical thinking and problem solving skills and that is what I would like to teach my students as well. These are skills that are highly valued today even outside the classroom.... My goal is to...

...to college. Most of my students show dramatic improvements in their grades and test scores after receiving my help. I like to tailor my teaching style to the individual student because I know that everyone has a different learning personality. I get to know my students and discover the reasons they struggle. Although many of my clients do not share my passion for science and biology, I make the lessons as interesting as possible. I...

I worked throughout college as a music director at Wesleyan's radio station, and currently work as a producer and staff writer for Afropop Worldwide, a non-profit radio show dedicated to African music and music of the African diaspora. I also love watching independent films and reading fiction and philosophy. I love living in Brooklyn, but I enjoy leaving the city to go...

I believe that a strong math and science foundation is essential to all students as the knowledge and critical thinking skills will prove beneficial throughout a student's academic careers and beyond. I also love to read and many of my favorite books are about sports. I have been a fan of the New...

...as a secondary English classroom teacher. I have especially enjoyed teaching ACT preparation classes because students would often return after the semester and share their exciting news about meeting their score goals. Since I earned my Master’s in Education from Lesley University, I have developed a whole repertoire of strategies for delivering differentiated instruction that meets the individual needs of my students. A student-centered approach is imperative when working one-on-one with individuals. English, literature, and...

...particular, the study of ancient civilizations of the Americas and Africa. Being privileged to study these and other cultures through personal and academic research through the use of primary texts and travel explorations has heightened my interest in these subjects. While I emphasize student-centered instruction (with ample opportunities for differentiation, modeling and scaffolding), I am also a firm believer in the inter-generational transmission of knowledge. Teachers/tutors/learning facilitators have just as much to learn from their...

...working on my med and business endeavors. I have not only an interest, but a motivation to help others. I have helped students get into Ivy League schools as well as other top universities across the country with top scholarships.

I want my students and tutees to see the value in themselves and know that they can accomplish anything with determination...
