...academic career has focused on meaning that could be derived from literature, and articulating those ideas through written or verbal communication. When I began teaching, I emphasized to my students the importance of these skills, and assured them that the ability to read, write, speak, and listen proficiently would provide them access to opportunities and expand their conception of the world. My teaching reflects my belief that other writers can develop a strong sense of...

...first on the students comprehension of the material at hand and then help the student construct an analytical argument. In subjects related to math, I review the foundational concepts in a certain topic before proceeding to assist the student with specific example problems.

I am also very knowledgeable about standardized tests, particularly the ACT...

...teach others. I have taken the SAT, ACT, and several AP exams, and I am a recipient of an award from the French Department at NYU. I first became passionate about tutoring in high school, when I would assist other students in mathematics. I also have experience working with elementary school students in a bilingual New York City public school. One of the aspects of tutoring that I always look forward to is when students...

Though these subjects can at times be difficult to engage with, I am confident that together we can uncover new perspectives and learning strategies that will reinvigorate your relationship to the material and improve your grades dramatically. Sometimes all that is necessary for an academic breakthrough is seeing old material from a new vantage point! I know the importance of developing a strong and functional rapport...

...love to travel (my dream destination being Egypt, someday). During the last two summers, I have taught seminars at a 10-day conference hosted by a Harvard student organization in China. The students were all high school students in China, and I absolutely loved the discussions and the chance to teach subjects I am passionate about to my students. I tend to approach problems from several angles and enjoy hearing new perspectives. In my free time,...

...substituting in Brookline and long-term class coverage in Boston, as well as experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students and helping them grow was amazing. I aim to build these types...

...never taken a break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding exactly how to work with students of all backgrounds and temperaments.

The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and...

...want to be somewhere or do something that I have not 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. I find that my greatest happiness comes in the form of little victories such as a good grade on an exam, or making a friend laugh! Its because of this that I really slow down and try to appreciate...

I'm currently a sophomore at Case Western University. Among my friends I'm the go-to guy for help before tests, and I tutored under my high school's National Honor Society for two years. I think learning can be really enjoyable with the right attitude - hopefully I can prove it to you!

It is important to establish the student's individual, unique learning style and cater the tutoring experience to his or her needs.

I currently support a Harvard undergraduate in her writing intensive courses. I strive to bring gentleness and compassion to every tutoring session. I enjoy helping a student who may feel anxious or upset about...

...letting my students work their way through problem areas with ample guidance. The quickest way to learn is by doing, and if I am solving a problem for a student, then they are not absorbing that information as well as they could be if they were actively pursuing a solution themselves. This is a strategy that has served me well thus far, and I have personally watched students improve vastly under this philosophy. As important...

...French, English, and U.S. History. Studying and teaching French, I learned about the frustration students feel when struggling to understand something that might literally or figuratively seem to be in another language. I carry this understanding, lots of patience, and a passion for language into my tutoring sessions. Outside of school, I love to read, have movie nights, see as many Broadway shows as possible, and travel all over NYC and NYS seeing my lovely...
