...called the Creative Mind Group, a non-profit that pairs college-aged students with prestigious internships at film festivals around the globe. I've worked with students internationally in Berlin, the Cannes Film Festival, and the Sundance Film Festival in Utah. I've had a rich and interesting tutoring experience, having taught jazz piano, chess, video editing, and even taught basic English skills to Japanese speakers over Skype. For the past year I've volunteered with NY Cares, an organization that...

...of work (where I am a management consultant), I play hockey and piano. Since high school, I have helped fellow students with academics. At school, I was also a tutor through Penn's Tutoring Center. I think what makes me a successful tutor is the ability to not only understand the material but also the perspective of the tutee. This helps me convey necessary information in the best way possible for that particular student.

...level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little bit, about what can be fun about learning new things.... Every student can learn...

...and MBA in Healthcare Management. I am currently a medical student at Albany Medical College. I have enjoyed working with students as a swim instructor in high school and I continued tutoring Math and English throughout college at an after-school program.

...exceptional" students, those who are highly gifted and have challenges like autism, executive functioning, and learning disabilities. With master's degrees in both Mathematical Physics and Special Education, I love teaching both advanced subject material and the fundamentals of literacy, organizing, and the whole human that go along with all learning. I often say I work best with folks who "love learning but hate school." I am very flexible with teaching, ethics and focus on student...

...achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success derives from long-hours devoted to assignments and preparation, but no small part owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am...

...my favorite topics so they are always fun to tutor. My approach to tutoring is to simplify things down to bite-sized chunks for the student. I find that difficulty in concepts often stems from trying to gloss over the more basic parts. This is the philosophy I use when I am learning and studying, as well as tutoring. I always try to be patient and take things one step at a time. Outside my academics,...

I was recently accepted to be a Math...

I focus on helping students master their fundamentals, as well as teach the tips and tricks they need to conquer any question.

...I take some time to prepare for exams for graduate school, I am seeking tutoring opportunities for students who need some extra assistance with the major standardized tests necessary for college acceptance, including the SAT and ACT; any government, politics or history-related courses or standardized tests; or any English language or literature courses or exams. I promise that I will be well-prepared for every meeting, and that my passion and interests for these topics will...

...to be the agents of their own learning. In order to learn efficiently and effectively, tutors need to embrace learning styles. From concepts to creation, students must learn how to ask significant questions and keep asking them. For a tutor, this means modeling good questions and expecting the best from her students. From the moment I sit down with students, they know they are in a safe environment where learning and respect for others is...

Social...

...graduating, I immediately moved to New York City to attend Columbia Law School, where I will receive my JD in May, 2015. Throughout undergraduate, I regularly tutored economics, math, and statistics courses at the school's tutoring center, and helped several students to turn around their class performance. I also enjoy helping students prepare for standardized test, whether that be the SAT or the LSAT. Especially with regard to the SAT Math, I love helping students...

...Through networking with mentors and advisors I have been able to direct, produce, and edit my own visual and audio works digitally. I've had several articles and radio pieces published in the university's newspaper. These experiences have assisted me in honing my communication and leadership skills. My greatest joy, however, has been mentoring peers and fellow student-athletes along my journey. Education has allowed me to give back by teaching others what I've learned.

..."what is the author not merely saying with his or her words, but doing with them"? When we put ourselves in the shoes of the test-writers, not just the shoes of the test-taker, a lot becomes really clear about how to succeed at taking tests without really trying (so hard). This said, I am also a believer that the amount of time you put into anything is proportionate with the results, and study really does...
