Moreover, she taught me the importance of concise communication, organization and empathy when teaching. I think that not only is teaching more similar to coaching than lecturing and assigning work,...

I learned a lot about how to get students excited about subjects that at first seem intimidating or frustrating, how...

Josh: Oakland SAT Reading tutor
Certified SAT Reading Tutor in Oakland, CA
My favorite word is "why." And why is that, you may ask? Well, I am subject to a never-ending flow of knowledge because I perpetually wonder why. The search for answers to any question beginning with "why" has taught me everything I know -- and put me in a position to disseminate my knowledge to other people. Tutoring is the best possible way for me to do that.

As such, I foster an open environment where all mathematical...
