This style has worked in the past for me as it clearly outlines our objectives and makes best use of our...

A battle-tested veteran of the New York private school circuit, I graduated college in 2013 and now teach German in DC. I lived in German-speaking Europe for many years, and I majored its language, culture and history. I fully understand the many competing demands on a modern student's schedule. My tutees and I therefore tailor-make lesson plans based on their personal strengths and areas for improvement in order to fully capitalize on our time together.

I believe that anyone can learn anything they set their mind to. Like Eisenstein said, "genius is 99 percent hard work". As long someone is motivated, they can figure something out, and I'm here to help them along the way!

...I also offered after school tutoring sessions to my students in science, ELA, and SAT prep. In my five years as a teacher, I developed a passion for helping students learn to love science and perfect their reading and writing skills.

...tutor a wide range of subjects, but I am most passionate about reading, writing and public speaking. I believe in making learning fun, and showing students how the subject is relevant to their life in a very practical way.

...use my advanced library card that allowed me to check out more than 10 books at a time to select my books for the next week. At the end, I would stash half of the books in my locker at school and beg my sister to transport the rest home in her backpack. In exchange, I did half of her chores for the week. This lasted for as long as my "grounding" lasted. And it...

For both my tutoring and teaching style, I like to let the students' knowledge gaps guide the sessions and I adapt to focus on weaknesses and ultimately strengthening understanding overall....

...2 keys to success. English has always come naturally for me and was always my best subject. This is probably due to the fact that I used to read 20+ books a week growing up. English can be a difficult subject to teach, because it requires a more deep analysis of the student's capabilities and flaws, and is not as simple as seeing if the student can solve a problem. It requires the teacher/tutor to...

...come out of your course with the better grades. I love teaching people because I know how it feels to finally solve that problem you've been struggling with, and how nice it is that someone helped you do it. Whether its Algebra or Calculus 2, a problem is a problem that needs to be solved and understood.
