...tests, or Advanced Placement exams. My course of action involves three main steps: First, I identify the areas that the student needs the most help in. I prepare a simple and easy to read outline for them on the subject. I also make a few flash cards to get the student started, even if flashcards arent their preferred study method. This way, we have a starting point to work from. A tutor should put in...

Besides tutoring, I frequently write and perform stand-up comedy and am a staff writer for Columbia's satire paper.

Incidentally, most standardized exams also test students' problem solving skills; they often need to apply information they know in a new and creative way. My tutoring strategy therefore works well with standardized tests, such as the SAT and the ACT, as well as with school subjects. In my spare time, I enjoy playing the piano or saxophone, acting, and reading.

...in the engineering field. Not only do I feel satisfied when a student shows progression under my methods, but I am also thankful for the opportunity to make an impact on a students grade.

Besides academics, I enjoy reading, dancing, playing...
