...important to succeed on their tests. My non-academic interests are all various forms of gaming. I have been a competitive Magic: the Gathering player for over 13 years. Otherwise I play many video games mostly older series: Touhou, Guitar Hero, and n64 speedruns. My current focus is on danmaku games, and I am currently working on programming my own game in that genre; I someday hope to be a full time game designer.

...Psychology with a special interest in developmental psych. As a professional, I work with middle and high school aged youth as a full time mentor, helping them reach their full potential, very much including school success.

In my personal life I love basketball, spending time with my dog, and cooking.

I'm currently studying computer science at Northeastern University. I have a full year of experience tutoring high school students outside Varsity Tutors.

A little bit about myself: I am a recent graduate of the M.S. degree program in Mathematics at Tufts University where I focused on the three major cornerstones of Contemporary Mathematics: Analysis (Real & Complex), Abstract Algebra, and Geometry/Topology. I completed my undergraduate education at Saint Anselm College where I majored in Mathematics, with a secondary major in Classics. I graduated in the top 5% of my...

...my experience in the classroom in work with even more students on a one-on-one basis. I believe that any students can make huge academic gains in any subject area - no matter how much they may struggle - with the right amount of work ethic and support. Exams should not be a barrier to anyone's personal ambitions. I look forward to sharing what I know to help students come closer to their full potential.

I am a graduate student from University of Michigan. I am interested in teaching maths to the young youth. I believe that if concepts and basics are clear then a student can solve any difficult problem in life.

In my own classroom, I incorporate a variety of methods and tools to help all of my students reach their potential, and to this point in my teaching career have enjoyed a great deal of success. My tutoring sessions tend to be focused, involve a mixture of discussion, practice and instruction, and are often followed by practice in writing...

...to consider knowledge, from the most practical to the most abstract, as both social exercise and activity. This means, as exercise, that we get comfortable with the necessary repetitions of learning--reading and writing, listening and speaking with consideration. As social activity, strong teaching and learning allows us to consider knowledge production as constantly unfolding, knowledge production as a place where self-expression and communication within a larger community are not only welcome but of absolute necessity.

...a topic to direct a learner toward self-education and problem solving. My style is not to provide the answer, but to guide one in knowing how to arrive at the answer. This approach has served me well in my professional career, as well as in my personal life. I find myself always challenged with learning new things, and self-learning is the key. For example, to advance my professional career, I took an online course in...

This feeling, and the growth of confidence Ive seen in my students after our sessions, has led me to keep tutoring in my life post-graduation! If you need help with specific subject matter, or just need a friendly face to work through problems with, I'm here to help! I look forward to meeting...

...to tutor math. Algebra has always been my favorite subject with chemistry as my second favorite and is what I am most passionate about. I find that it is easiest for students to understand the subject when it is related to something they are interested in outside of the classroom. In my free time, I enjoy playing sports, especially soccer, as well as reading and occasionally running. I am also an avid NY Giants fan.

...stop learning in our lifetimes especially when studying subjects like literature, which offer an infinite amount of ways to think about the world. That's what I find so fascinating about the subject that each piece of fiction, nonfiction, or poetry, is a different lens in which to see what's around you. And this idea is what keeps me hooked on good books, compelling writing, and words that truly move me. I only hope the people...

...to tutor are Trigonometry and Geometry because I think there are many different ways to visualize these types of problems. Often times all it takes to understand a concept is an alternate way of thinking about it and I have found this eventual comprehension to be extremely rewarding for both me and the student.
