...work. I have been working as a tutor and educator for nearly a decade. After graduating from Stanford University, I worked with students ranging in age from Kindergarten to Twelfth Grade, from basic reading to Calculus BC.

I love seeing students find excitement and understanding in a subject that they had previously written off...

...understands the topic. I like to focus on finding ways to make sure the student UNDERSTANDS the topic rather than simply learning to memorize the facts. I find that they are always able to retain the knowledge more that way.

This gives students confidence and sharpens their understanding. I will also motivate my students whenever necessary to keep them excited about...

While I specialized in teaching mathematics, I can tutor most high school level subjects, especially those related to the SAT or ACT. My teaching style will be adapted to an individual student's needs. For example, with a kinesthetic learner, I would have have them do practice problems, assisting with explanations as needed.

...intelligence, improvement would be unachievable. But it isn't. There are different factors -- motivation, organization, empathy, discipline -- which are much more important. And, crucially, these are all qualities that people can change and control. That's where curiosity comes in. Ask yourself this: what do you care the most about?

I believe that the process of learning precedes the end goals-- that means that I focus on teaching students how to learn and to autonomize problem solving skills and processes they can apply to all problems rather than just helping them get the answer they need on a specific problem. This is the...
