...a finance firm in midtown. I've been tutoring since I was in high school. My strong suits are math and Chinese (a little stereotypical, I know. But I can't change what I'm good at!). Now a little about my hobbies... I don't know anything about music, in fact I took an elementary piano lesson in my last semester of university, and received a B- for it! Turned out to be the worst grade in my...

...an MA in German and continental philosophy. While this area is fascinating in itself, I am very thankful for my philosophical education because it has also sowed within me a deep commitment to teaching, teaching that aims not only for understanding, but also for creating and encouraging interest in specific topics and in learning itself. While I agree that the goal of teaching is to help someone learn a certain topic, the greatest achievement in...

...working with youth. I love working with kids of all ages. Their ability to soak up information and improve is inspiring, and their energy makes work not feel like work. I believe that all students are capable of academic success and that sometimes all it takes is a novel approach. This is why it is important to understand the unique learning style of each student. I'm looking forward to getting to work at Varsity Tutors...

...Economics at The King's College. I have tutored several of my peers in the past on coursework ranging from logic to math and political thought. I enjoy tutoring public speaking and writing most, though I also tutor AP Government, SAT, and the ACT. I tend to explain a problem/concept before having a student tackle it. In my free time, I enjoy reading, watching TED videos, and cooking without recipes. I look forward to working with...

I've tutored students through the America Reads/America Counts program in college and as an independent tutor in subjects including essay writing, SAT prep, elementary math, phonics, and English as a second language.

...and pretty much any exam you could think of. I was also a National AP Scholar. I majored in Physics and Biochemistry at NYU, and published several papers as well as patents through my research. I tutor well over 135 subjects, but my favorite subject to tutor is the MCAT and Physics. I've never taken a break from tutoring, which has honed my intuition for not only acing exams but for understanding exactly how to...
