In addition, I have been a supplemental education provider, an SAT proctor and prep class teacher, and currently teach chess to first- through fifth-graders. I enjoy words, word games, reading, mathematics, discovering new things, staying in shape, and sharing what I have learned with others. I am a fan of classic...

...and physics, often employing diagrams and visual aids in my teaching. In addition, since high school, I have always been someone that friends entrust to look over and critique their papers before they submit final drafts. My teaching style features visual learning, mnemonics, and hierarchical organization of material. I find that hierarchically cataloguing information by topic and sub-topic helps students retain material, as students are not simply memorizing, but are understanding how concepts relate to...

...from the College of New Jersey in 2007 majoring in History and Secondary Education. After graduation, I travelled extensively to see the country and world that I would one day be teaching about.

...concepts that a student has already grasped so that unfamiliar material takes on a familiar character. Furthermore, I try to have a student do some writing, some reading, and some discussion in each lesson, and in this way engage the main three modes of learning.

...knowledge that I've acquired, and because I genuinely find the work very rewarding. I have been teaching and tutoring informally for many years now, sometimes through established positions, but more often out of goodwill.

In my free time, I enjoy playing...

...still at Yale, I worked at the Cooperative Arts and Humanities High School teaching writing and playwriting to freshmen students. I saw exciting advancements in my students' skills during my time there, and I believe it was because I made sure that my classes were always fun as well as informative. I have had the most success teaching when I help my students to develop an independent interest in the material we are working on....

...Columbia University in mathematics and computer science because I feel that there is still (and always will be) more to learn. I love learning about and teaching math and I hope I can impart my knowledge onto you to help you succeed in the classroom and develop an appreciation for the subject matter. Often students memorize formulas without understanding why or when they should apply that particular formula. I believe a deeper understanding of the...

...flexible to accommodate every student's individual learning needs and styles to ensure full efficiency. Besides being flexible, I also like to explain things in an alternative perspective to show students different ways of thinking outside the box. My father always used to tell me never do a half done job for anybody. If it is worth doing, it should be done right. As your tutor/ teacher, my job is not done until you succeed. I...

I spent an additional term abroad in Madrid, Spain, and I have traveled extensively throughout Latin America and Europe.
