...in it. I have been tutoring for the past three years and have found it extremely rewarding for both my students and myself. I am passionate about helping students because for me, there is nothing better than being interested in learning. To be able to encourage another person's education experience is an amazing thing, and the happiness a student feels when he or she has their "lightbulb moment" is profound. My teaching style is heavily...

...engage the kids I work with to make sure they are understanding the concepts. Working one on one helps in this sense because I know specifically what they may be having trouble with. As a student myself, I know sometimes work seems overwhelming and impossible at times. Taking things slow, breaking down a problem, and seeing where the real problem lies is how I approach most of my problems and is how I will try...

...than Rome. But what else is different about the two that could explain why that's the case?"). Finally, I've found that the best way to facilitate learning is to highlight easily understandable parallels to the content being studied. For example, I would compare a historical event to an ongoing, contemporary controversy. Or I would encourage students to think of historical figures as actual characters with goals and motivations instead of just a name on a...

...help them reach a high understanding of the subject material. Instead of giving a student the answer outright, I will talk the problem out with them and help them to reach the answer themselves. I know that everyone has a unique way of thinking, and for this reason I show students several ways to approach a problem so they can chose which method is best for them. My strongest subject is math, and I excelled...

...material I've learned to other students! Since I came to the sciences a little later in life, I learned a lot of helpful tools and tricks to make these subjects more accessible and easier to remember.

...the box. In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in essence...

...deficit learning, a type of teaching all too common in schools today. Deficit learning focuses on what a student doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems. I've worked with students as young as five...

...the topic at hand, asking you what you want out of our sessions (and me suiting your need to that desire as much as possible), and beginning a lesson plan. My SAT tutoring is split into 3 sections; the student takes home each part of a practice test and completes it, and once our session begins we review your answers and try to pinpoint where your weaknesses are, simultaneously developing strategies that you could employ...

...the basics, good communication, and the ability to connect with people and to see things from their perspective. My patience, listening skills, and communication skills developed from over 300 hours of experience have sharpened those characteristics. Through countless experience in the past, I have an excellent idea of what techniques work best for what types of learners. I also believe that through tutoring, not only should you walk away knowing the material but also knowing...
