...better grades, but also to truly develop a love for the material as I have myself. I am a rising freshman at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology where I will be studying Computer Science.

I've helped students tackle subjects ranging from reading comprehension and vocabulary to Algebra and many others in between. I have also...

I think helping students improve or accelerate their learning is a wonderful gift. I believe that through extra practice and encouragement knowledge can be gained and then students can independently apply what they have learned in various areas.

...academic settings. It taught me that the most important aspect of understanding a complex concept, is first, demystifying it. Building a computer or writing an argumentative essay isn't scary or hard; they just need to be broken down into smaller parts, and then anyone can do it. In Portland, I also worked with under-served high school and college age students to help them to achieve their educational, personal, and professional goals. A large part of...

...defined me, and I believe that curiosity and confidence are the keys to understanding any subject. Perhaps this curiosity is also why I particularly enjoy scientific disciplines like Biology and Physics, and why studying literature or history always leaves me inspired.

...tutoring mathematics and history through a high school level. My teaching philosophy is to adjust individually to the needs of my students. Some students are better with visual aids, while some work better with raw data. My job is to help them process information and commit it to memory, and the best way to do that, in my experience, is to tailor the wants and needs of the students. My interests outside of academics include...

Most importantly, I use content to teach appropriate "life skills" that students recognize as important across all academic disciplines and career paths. My students have achieved success while working with highly...
