...feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all that means is that I have the most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects. My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I was a math peer tutor in high school. As an older brother to an ambitious teenager, I've found myself helping my brother out in his math homework and answering...

...a number of different levels, but my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day.

I was involved with the school's creative writing community; I hosted readings and won literary prizes from UConn and Mount Holyoke. I also worked for the University Writing Center.

...in New York City and I am teaching at ASA College and Baruch College. My tutoring and teaching philosophy places the student at the center of my lessons. I assess every student's needs and goals before sessions begin and I continue to monitor the student for any changes. This is important for me because no amount of intelligence or knowledge on the part of the tutor will be transferred to the student if the tutor...
