...problem quicker and more efficiently. Simplicity & Efficiency are my 2 keys to success. English has always come naturally for me and was always my best subject. This is probably due to the fact that I used to read 20+ books a week growing up. English can be a difficult subject to teach, because it requires a more deep analysis of the student's capabilities and flaws, and is not as simple as seeing if the...

...Test (SHSAT). I continued in the program and became the head math teacher, responsible for leading a class of over 25 students. I believe standardized testing unjustly favors those with the resources for extensive test prep. Thus, it was all the more rewarding to work with students who, otherwise, would not have had as much access to such services. I have also privately tutored high school students in physics, algebra, geometry, and trigonometry. Besides tutoring,...

My teaching philosophy is that the teacher and the student need patience for one another. Some topics...

...like to break things down to their fundamentals and learn from the bottom up, so that it's easier to see how all the pieces of a topic fit together. A ten page paper might seem intimidating, until you break it down into a list of bullet points and ideas. Patience is a virtue and I exercise it dutifully. I'm comfortable tutoring all ages; a bit of empathy can span even decades, I believe. In my...
