...I find it extremely enriching to help students see the potential in themselves when it comes to a standardized test or a speech mainly because I remember being in the same positions not too long ago.

...much as I have! I first started tutoring in high school, and I've enjoyed helping students from kindergarten age through college work through challenging concepts to gain a better understanding of the material.

...can be. Skills in these areas tend to translate particularly well to improvement on both the SAT Writing and Critical Reading areas, and were invaluable when I took the LSAT. I view my tutoring sessions as a partnership where the student and myself are working towards one goal: their acquisition of the skills, knowledge, and strategies necessary to succeed academically and enrich themselves personally. Frequently this means identifying weak foundational elements and building from there....

I've tutored students in high school through the math honor society, and continued tutoring in college through the Office of Multi-Ethnic Student Education. My long term plan after graduation is to enter grad school, get a PhD in math, and eventually become a math professor, researching and lecturing throughout the whole process.

My favorite color is blue, my favorite food is pizza, and one day I hope to live in...

I am a constant learner with a passion for not only helping students achieve their highest potential academically, but also acquire some level of comfort, if not pleasure, from reading and writing. I thoroughly enjoy working with young people and find that the learning is always a two-way process when I interact with students.... I am always researching strategies and methods to help students connect with the subject matter and work through challenging assignments. I...

It's so great to see a light go on when you connect a concept in economics to a story students have heard in the news, or to see a student work through an essay until she has something that makes her truly proud. When I'm not tutoring, I enjoy cooking, being outdoors, reading, traveling,...
