...and lived abroad in a Francophone country, and I am a total geek when it comes to French grammar. Similarly, I love playing with and examining the English language, whether in preparation for the reading section of a Standardized Test or for a college essay. I believe that students learn best when they are able to uncover the "why," not just the "what," and it is my goal to create an environment where students feel...

...well and am excited to explore the varieties of questions with students as they prepare for the exams. Besides nurturing interests in many academic areas over the years, I have also sharpened strong communication skills by frequently discussing materials with my instructors and fellow students.

I feel as though I am always learning and open to new ways of thinking. I believe in each student's ability to succeed through hard work, practice, and perseverance.

...hand; it's about finding the ways in which you learn best and allowing yourself to have what you need, even if it isn't seen as average. Too often, our schools value data over students and forget that education is about discovery and personal growth. As a teacher and tutor, I strive to understand my students individually as whole, complex people. In doing so, I am able to better reach the person in front of me,...

...from effectively organizing thoughts and structuring an essay to developing a persuasive argument and ensuring correct grammar and spelling.

...can see in children once they master a topic and can answer even pointed questions meant to stump them, and maybe even put their knowledge to real world use. As a tutor, I like to give a strong foundation to orient my student, and then gradually grant them more freedom and independence until they can feel themselves grasp the concept, pointing out pitfalls or common errors along the way; teachers who used these methods on...

As a master's student and former medical student, I know how challenging academics can be. I also know how having a helping hand, a guidance through the confusion, can help one gain confidence in themselves to excel. From tutoring children to post-graduates, I have seen that all students (no matter their age, level of education, strengths, weaknesses, etc.) who are willing to learn can succeed. ... In a typical first session, the student and I usually...

...spent time lecturing, providing homework help, and offering specific testing strategies to different students at different times. I have experience with the majority of science and math Advanced Placement courses, the ACT, the SAT, the general GRE, and the Biology GRE. To me, tutoring is a two-way street.
