...Archaeology. I am currently the Master Electrician for the Bucks County Playhouse in New Hope, PA. While I am most adept at Physics, Astronomy and Math, I have always had a passion for English Grammar, proofreading and editing. That same love of English helps me when trying to communicate mathematical and scientific ideas to those for whom the sciences are a struggle. Conversely, I feel that my science background helps me teach English to people...

...comes from my understanding and experience of the learning process. In order to improve their skills, students need motivation (a sense of the rewards and excitement of learning), practice, and mentorship. For each student, these three elements come in different forms, and as a tutor, my job is to provide an "in" to the subject matter for each individual. In other words, one size does not fit all, and I tailor my approach based on...

I think it's important that students feel they are engaged in a dynamic process; I view tutoring much like a conversation. If students have questions, I always want to hear them. I think in tutoring, when both the student and the tutor contribute, there's a great exchange. I'm originally from the East Coast, the Philadelphia area. I lived in the Middle...

...I love tutoring because I feel that individual attention is an important facet of the learning process. By working one-on-one with students tutors can learn more about students' interests and learning styles, and incorporate them into the tutoring process. Academic subjects can be so much more interesting for students if they feel that the subject has a direct impact on their lives. I love it when a student's face lights up with the realization that...

I believe that all students are capable of writing well and performing well on the SAT, and my job is...

When I'm not writing, reading, or working (I'm a supervisor at my college's dining hall as well as a tutor), I am probably singing opera, in choir, or in my a cappella group. I am a singer and I plan to minor in music. I also love hockey,...

...writing. My favorite subject to tutor is statistics because I find that it can be a bridge between math processes and real world context, lending a useful platform for math wary individuals to learn about mathematical concepts.

I like to be outdoors and I enjoy many outdoor activities such as skiing/snowboarding, swimming, and going to the beach.
