I look forward to helping...

...subject matter into terms and concepts that they already understand. I firmly believe in the potential of every student to grasp material that they may think is out of reach, and aim to reduce the stress factor of studying as much as possible. Outside of tutoring, I am a professional actor and playwright, and in my free time (a rare, mystical thing these days) I enjoy playing guitar and mandolin, practicing yoga, and my PS4.

...they can do so with a new found joy and passion for the subject at hand. Outside of the academic arena, I love food and theatre above all else.

I am in process of learning Spanish and Italian, and I continue to better my...

...writing grows out of curiosity and creativity, so my approach encourages students to think critically, experiment with ideas, and discover their own voices.

That practice continually shapes my teachingI bring the same sense of play, imagination, and careful attention to words...

...clients, which makes me unique in that each tutoring session is structured around the individual needs of my student. However, although I am friendly and fun I also am fairly strict and rigorous in my tutoring style- (my mom always told me that one day I would appreciate how strict she was with my schoolwork- I guess today's that day haha). I am so excited to get to know you and to help your child...

The most enjoyable part of tutoring for me is learning that one of my students has improved or reached his or her...

...Academic Tutor for business subjects. I tutored my fellow students in subjects such as Economics, Accounting, Ethics and was one of the very few students who could tutor higher level finance courses.

Helping others do well made me happy and seeing people...

...me and tutoring allows me to witness it firsthand. My specialties include Macro/Microeconomics, Finance, Accounting and Business Management. I am a graduate of the University of Central Florida where I earned Bachelor's Degrees in Economics & Finance.

Through the tutoring experience, I find myself learning almost as much as my students about new ways to look at...

I enjoy finding new ways to...

I also enjoy writing. I enjoy tutoring middle and elementary school since I have younger siblings and am able to connect to younger people better.

...I worked directly with under-performing students in one-on-one and small group settings. I honed my ability to explain even the most challenging material in simple terms and to motivate the most disheartened students to try again. In September 2012, I began my work in Rwanda with the United States Peace Corps. The only Westerner living in Kinazi sector, I integrated myself into community life and tried to build a better understanding of the priorities, goals,...

...year: for the first time, I realized I had a personal investment in learning. Most immediately, I realized that the better my grades were, the more freedom I had in the world. I spent my junior year giving every school assignment 110% of my energy, and it paid off: I was admitted to college a year early with a great scholarship. But more than the immediate freedom of college and a new state, my investment...

...who were taking the TOEFL exam. I like to teach by first letting the student try the problem on their own. Then, I like to go through each step of the problem with the student until they understand. Finally, I let the student try a similar problem on their own to test their understanding. I think it is also a good idea to include visuals/models or examples in order to further explain difficult concepts.... Typically, I...
