...for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to share with others what I have...

...favorite hobby is fishing, primarily on the Sound but I also love fishing for trout in the Norwalk River. In academics my main interests are politics, history, and sociology. I also love science and learning about new discoveries but I'm more attracted to the fields that study people and societies rather than the "hard" sciences. I think some of my best traits when it comes to teaching are patience and my approach-ability. I struggled with...

...feel inadequate in the classroom. I grew up in a high-performing school district where many of my peers were able to excel without putting forth any effort. Meanwhile, I was spending countless hours reading, drilling flash cards, and reworking problems without receiving the same results. School just never came naturally for me, and I often felt incompetent, unmotivated and embarrassed to ask for help. Thankfully, I had wonderful teachers, mentors, and tutors along the way...

...arrive to us steeped in rich cultural history, their study has languished in stiff, uninviting and uninspiring education. Math and Physics can be found in all facets of our lives and yet we are often taught from the offset to hate and fear them as subjects. My Goal as a tutor is to demystify both and introduce young learners their fascinating history! Completing a physics major at Hampshire College, a college famous for its unorthodox...

...I tutor a wide array of subjects and grade levels, I enjoy teaching middle school math, sciences, and history the most. I believe that learning should be fun, interesting, and relatable, and that if students are able to understand information as it relates to them in the real world they are more likely to grasp complex concepts. It is always exciting to watch a young student develop a love of learning or master a subject...

I enjoy helping people, which is mirrored by my volunteerism with the Trevor Project, American Cancer Society (ACS),...

I recently moved from Potsdam, Germany to New Haven, CT. I grew up and studied environmental sciences in Germany, worked and traveled a lot internationally and have taught languages and science at the university and non-academic level. I enjoy teaching and I particularly enjoy supporting students who want to learn my beautiful but sometimes just a little too confusing language. ... Using a language is the best way to learn. With me you will be talking...

...a balanced education to minimize our biases. I attempt to incorporate this philosophy into my tutoring lessons by including problems with real-world applications where possible. And as a tutor, I am very hands-on, as I believe teaching is a dance in which communication from both sides is of utmost importance. I want my students to ask questions as I am a firm believer that there are no stupid questions. I want to be involved in...

Much of my teaching experience comes from leading workshops and training other students through my job at an on campus multimedia lab space.

...school stakeholders is not only a fun process, but also one that I know I cherish. Thus, being part of a community is fundamental. Since this process is also necessary for professionalism, strategies in place are vital. As I know that radical transparency assists in foreknowledge and responsibility (Young,2023), conferencing and keeping in touch with stakeholders to have this kind of arrangement in line will be something to be secured first. Other strategies I integrate...

...a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science. Since graduated I have spent much of time working in administrative positions. My first experience with teaching students was in church as a musician.

So I have experience working...

...has always been in teaching and tutoring.

I've also helped students with AP courses like Language, Literature, Government, and US History. In college, I was known as the go-to tutor among my peers, covering a wide range of subjects. I'm thrilled to be part of Varsity Tutors...

...I love history. To me, history is far more than a random collection of names and dates, but rather a study of human ideas and achievements. Math teaches you to think logically, science to think analytically, language arts to expand your thinking beyond our own time and space, but history teaches you to think for yourself. Today, too many people get their information from internet headlines, or talking heads on television, or from their families...
