Award-Winning PSAT Tutors in University of Wisconsin-Madison, WI

...Edgewood College, a smaller and private University in Madison, WI where I am working towards my English Licensure in Secondary Education (Grades 7-12). Although I would like to ultimately teach in a middle or high school, I have a background in tutoring students as early as Kindergarten. I volunteered in a local community center and...

...doctorate in Environment and Resources at Wisconsin-Madison, studying tiger ecology and conservation with sub-field foci on predator ecology, and modeling population dynamics. My tutoring strategy is to tackle topics of highest combined difficulty and priority first, and to do so in a manner that accommodates both myself and my student. I've found in past teaching...

...understandable for students. I also tend to get very enthusiastic about the subject at hand. It is my strong belief that they key to success in academics is true understanding. When a student understands why something works, memorization becomes a tool that is only rarely needed. Students who understand concepts can also tackle complex and...

...emphasize practice with real AAMC passages as well as reviewing concepts. I will teach you tips, tricks, strategies, and patterns to watch out for that I have combed years of AAMC material to find. Step 1 sessions are tailored with NBME-style clinical vignettes, with a focus on high-yield concepts and classic patient presentations.... My teaching philosophy is student-oriented: I try to tailor my tutoring style to the specific learning methods of the individual. I like to use visuals, real-world examples, and ensure that the student truly understands the rationale for each step of the problem-solving method.

...differential equations; preparation for the ACT, SAT, and AP tests; and topics in literature and history. My favorite subject to tutor is probably calculus because calculus really opens students' options for further exploration in math, science, economics, and pretty much every other STEM field.

...with those whom I tutor to ensure their best performance come test day. It is my goal that each of my students believes that he couldn’t have performed any better when he finishes the exam. The worst feeling is regretting your performance. With adequate preparation and the right techniques, every student can be proud of...

...material in 8th grade. He was later admitted, with my help, to summer programs at Cornell and Harvard that allowed high school students to work in university laboratories; ultimately he went to Berkeley, then medical school and is now a neurosurgeon. I am proud that I had something to do with his success. For students...

...demonstrated. I generally design some sort of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out the general concept in a unique way; for example, I will use an angle maze to teach geometric angle theorems. I am a proponent of the mindset that learning to learn is much more important...
