...Academic success is built from how we approach these puzzles, and how each unique mind breaks down a problem's pieces. For test prep, studying is as much about learning equations and facts as it is about learning the tricks to the format. Again, it is all a puzzle, and I can teach you the ways to hack the system by knowing the rules to the game. In the classroom, you can only get the material...

...interfere with academic potential. I have experience working with clients with ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder. My favorite subjects to tutor are Psychology, French, writing, and SAT prep (especially SAT Verbal), though I have a wide range of other qualifications.

...to use the types of materials that best suit each student's individual learning style. While I believe all learning is inherently an enjoyable process and work hard to instill that feeling in my students, I also recognize the importance of encouraging students to develop the mental discipline and focus necessary to master any material required for their academic goals, regardless of their level of natural interest in the subject. Therefore, where necessary and desired, I...

...thinking can help create success in other areas. I try to use multiple approaches while teaching, and present ideas as visually and tangibly as possible. One of the dangers of learning math is that students memorize the method for solving a problem but do not realize the underlying concepts. I do my best to ensure that students recognize the broader concepts. Because math builds on itself, it is also very important to look at past...

...ACTs and on college essays. Usually, by the end of the session, they find out that they need a lot less help than they thought! I have also done a fair amount of math and science tutoring with middle and high school students, which is almost easier, since full comprehension can be immediately and clearly demonstrated. I generally design some sort of worksheet in order to walk the student through the process of figuring out...
