Hi, I'm Helen! My love for tutoring first started when I began teaching piano lessons in high school. As a piano teacher, I discovered a passion for teaching and I learned how rewarding it is to encourage my students and to see them succeed. Here's a little about me: I am a Comparative Literature major with a minor in Jazz Studies at Washington University in St. Louis. When I am not reading, writing, or tutoring,...

...teaching for many more years. My primary focus is on eighth grade through junior year math, though I can tutor any age or experience level. I am also great with physics. I like to use a method that focuses on ensuring general understanding. I think it's more important that a student understands how an algorithm or function works, rather than to memorize what the function is. This method works for general schoolwork, standardized test preparation,...

...tutor for the SAT and the ACT, and I look forward to helping students succeed in standardized testing. As a college athlete, I understand that many students are committed to activities outside the classroom, and I pursue productivity and efficiency in every session to ensure that students are able to achieve their academic goals without compromising other priorities.

...the SAT inside and out. I can both help students quickly improve their test scores through simple test-taking tricks, but I can also help them develop their abilities and strengthen their conceptual grasp of a more difficult field. I find I get the strongest improvement in the reading and math sections. For STEM subjects specifically, my dual major allows me to communicate math ideas better than most other tutors. I also enjoy working on essays,...

Because of the wonderful experiences I've had abroad, I am most passionate about teaching both English and Spanish. I also tutor TOEFL prep and math, which was my favorite subject in school. My teaching/tutoring style is student-centered, with a focus on individual...

...to see the common themes and historical threads which wove said topics together, and highlighting the ways in which forces of the past continue to influence the events of the present. In my learning, and now in my teaching, I promote a view of the humanities not as a collection of discrete events or facts to be memorized, but as a process in which we all take part. I find that it's much easier to...

I am a current Junior studying at Emory University. I am currently pursuing a BS in Biology with the hopes of entering physical therapy school in the future. I received National Merit for my performance on the PSAT and SAT tests (scores of 213 and 2130 respectively).

...psychology, and essay writing, because they have always been some of my favorite subjects in school! I believe in an individualized approach to tutoring that caters to each student's strengths and weaknesses. It is important to identify what learning style best fits a student, and tailor tutoring sessions to their needs. I also believe that with the right amount of patience and determination, no subject is too difficult to learn or to teach.
