...yet achieved. I believe it is this drive that allows me to pursue my passions, both academically and socially, and to be successful in both.

Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate every passing moment because I believe every moment has the potential...

...decided after college to pursue medicine, completing a one year post-baccalaureate premedical program at Bryn Mawr College. Having personally undergone the transition from a humanities to a science student, I feel passionately that the sciences can be learned by any student, even those for whom it might feel a little more challenging. Working as a tutor for biology, organic chemistry, general chemistry, and neuroscience, I actively implemented this philosophy, finding creative ways to approach complex...

...very well because prior to business school I taught high school students for three years. Students need an individualized plan that will help them improve when they are struggling or help them excel when they are succeeding. I personally have written hundreds of personalized academic plans for students and will be happy to create one for your child, so that they can excel. There are two main reasons why students are not academically successful. First,...

...English. After graduating from college, I taught 10th grade math for a year in Newark, New Jersey. One of my favorite parts of being a teacher was working with students in a one-on-one setting. I love the process of guiding a student to where he or she is able to solve a problem or explain a concept independently. As a tutor, I endeavor not to simply "lecture" or tell the student the steps to solving...

...in Film Studies from The University of Iowa, where I also spent two years as a T.A., teaching undergraduate courses in film studies and related fields. I firmly believe that self-confidence, far more than ambition or natural aptitude, is the greatest determinant of success in an academic setting.

I graduated summa cum laude from Touro College, and now I am a graduate student working towards my PhD in history and teaching college part-time. I have had the opportunity to teach hundreds of students in a college classroom. I have really enjoyed this experience, but I have found that many smart, motivated students lack the skills they need to maintain a strong GPA...

I then earned a masters degree in Religion at Yale and I am now working towards a degree in Bioethics at UPenn. I also completed the premedical requirements during this time.

...a physics, math, and SAT tutor with Varsity Tutors in 2011, I've found it incredibly rewarding to help my students develop sustainable study habits and realize their academic potential. I believe that a student's performance is largely influenced by their weekly study routine, and I make it a priority to help my students figure out a process that works well for them. For a bit of background, I graduated from Amherst College with a B.A....

...teaching and other classroom experience, as well as many years of tutoring in various subject areas, I am a seasoned and versatile tutor. Not only have I taught math and science classes at a non-public high school, I have also led SAT-prep classes and instructed students privately in reading, writing, math, and in preparation for a variety of standardized tests (ACT, SAT, PSAT, SSAT, GED).

I especially love teaching Latin; over the past four years I have helped students master grammar and translation, while transferring my enthusiasm for the language and literature itself.

...and the knowledge of how to succeed in the classroom. I have spent much of my scholastic years helping my peers to understand math concepts by clarifying them after the lesson. This has made me accustom to reframing concepts in order to make them more comprehendible. In addition to my educational qualifications, I am personable and can connect with my students. In elementary school I was diagnosed with dyslexia. With the help of my mother,...

...individual needs and cultivates life-long learners. I believe that everyone has the ability and the capacity to learn, however, we are all created differently, and regardless of prior failures, learning disabilities, or feelings of self-doubt, I strive to help students figure out what learning style best works for them, so that I can teach them learning tools that will help them throughout the rest of their educational career and life. I strongly believe that my...
