...in reading and writing, with a special emphasis in Philosophy on clarity. These are values I have internalized, and I believe my work reflects that: for instance, in 2014, my GRE Verbal Reasoning scores placed me in the top 1% of test-takers. I moved to Brooklyn at the beginning of February. I have really enjoyed getting acquainted with the Greater New York area, and I've been lucky to attend some excellent live music shows. In...

...in the U.S., I obtained a degree of B.S. in finance from Rutgers University and have worked within the financial industry as a financial analyst as well as as an accountant for over ten years.

...experience tutoring it up to the SAT level. In addition to my private tutoring, I tutor elementary school students in an academic enrichment program run by the New York Public Library. I spent a year from 2014 to 2015 working full time as a tutoring fellow at a charter school in Massachusetts. My main responsibility was tutoring individual students to prepare them for the Math and ELA portions of the state standardized test. I strongly...

...parents paired me up with a tutor. At first, I didn't feel that I needed it and, in many ways, was uneasy about the whole concept; however, the dramatic improvement in my writing style and technique after the few months of working with her increased my performance in school tenfold. I keep chasing improvement even today. As a student at New York University, I study under some of the most talented professors in the world....

...multiple tutors for different subjects. And to be honest I was embarrassed about it. But I began to gain more confidence about it through the encouragement of my tutor. She was able to keep me motivated and gave me the confidence I needed to succeed. So when got into High School I decided to start tutoring and mentoring myself to give back to my community like so many people had did for me. So now...

...kind of teaching environment, I find the best way to help a student is to give him or her the tool necessary to learn and do for themselves. So, instead of simply helping them to memorize information, enough to get by, I try to teach them ways to learn and comprehend the information for themselves and to assist in their studies even beyond the tutoring session or particular subject area. Also, I find that motivation...

...varied in age, grade level, and coursework. I began tutoring almost seven years ago working with disadvantaged students on mathematics. Since then, I have constructed curriculum for a program for middle school girls, and spent a semester training in preparation to be writing tutor at Duke’s writing center which serves graduate and undergraduate students across disciplines. I have a love for learning, and an appreciation for the richness that a interdisciplinary education provides. Helping others...

...cum laude in 2014, demonstrating that it is never too late to fulfill one's goals or dreams. Additionally, I was inducted into The National Education Honor Society, The National History Honor Society, and Gold Key International Honor Society (for the top 15 percentile of my class).

My current favorite subject is General Chemistry, but my favorite changes every so often. My tutoring style is based off trying to get to know every student I work with and their unique thought processes.

I like to have fun in the class and be creative with learning while still pushing you to achieve your goals.

...thoughts and ideals of your colleagues. My tutoring experience began with a little boy who was told he was stupid and slow by other students in class; they didn't know his father had passed away from cancer over the summer. He was my first student to tutor. He lost interest in learning because he felt no one showed interest in what he considered important. From then on, I make it my signature to ask each...

...He required more care, and for longer, than anticipated, but it was not a choice I would ever reverse. And if, for now, qualities born of that experience must recommend me more than the usual benchmarks of achievement, they may be of more value anyway. Compassion and patience, with recourse to humor, are certainly invaluable for a tutor. I have always been able to do well in academic settings and test-taking. Much of this success...
