In high school, I was...

...an independent thinker during high school, and I would usually try to solve things myself. However, I struggled a lot when the time for my SAT came around--to the point where I actually ended up needing a tutor myself for the math portion! Nonetheless, I acknowledged the power of tutoring when I ended up surpassing my own expectations for the exam! I wish to spread the benefits of knowledge and confidence in younger students. Thanks...

Learning and teaching are two of my favorite things to do! For as long as I can remember I have loved learning new things. It is my goal as a tutor to help light that same fire in my students.

I shadowed Dr. Sunil Jain, a pediatrician at UTMB,...

...have worked with college students struggling in early mathematics courses such as trigonometry, algebra and elementary statistics. While at my university I also worked with adult students pursuing a GED. Ultimately, mathematics is not about memorizing formulas but about the logical process of arriving at a conclusion. Ideally, my job will consist of reminding the student of the tools at their disposal and they will make the leap themselves towards their desired answer. This ability...

In my spare time, when I am not in school or reading for...

...into mainstream education, especially to the large population of individuals who struggle to excel in traditional learning spaces. I believe that students should first understand their own learning styles if they wish to pick up new or difficult subjects as quickly as possible. As a tutor, I encourage students to study the principles of learning and the latest discoveries of neuroscience that seem to be universal to all mammalian brains. Some of these techniques include...

I work as a commercial and academic copyeditor for a number of book publishers, and I also teach English and Philosophy at the college level.

I am pretty versatile in all...

...arts and sciences; building all sorts of knick-knacks with my hands; being outdoors; music exploration; and expression through writing. I have previously tutored math and science for K-12 students (and a little bit of SAT Writing) at GT Learning Academy in Sugar Land, TX. My teaching style is generally very visual (sometimes movement-based), but I believe in adapting teaching styles to accommodate a student’s needs and interests. I hope to share my enthusiasm for never-ending...

Last year in New York, I worked with Elementary schoolers, helping with preparation for New York State Math and English exams. This summer, I'm looking forward to helping with test-prep for all ages. With the help of some excellent teachers, I myself scored a perfect 2400 on the SAT, helping me get into Columbia, one...

...don't ask enough questions of our students. Each of us is so very unique, with a specific way in which we learn and take in information. We must ask questions in order to find out where a student is coming from and how they view their own challenges, so that we can truly impart information that will help that specific student become a better learner. My job is to not only help the student overcome...
