But what else is different about the two that could...

...the Honors College at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, pursuing a degree in Computer Science and Business Analytics & IT. Some of the subjects I tutor are Algebra, Calculus I & II, and the SAT, but there are many more you can inquire about. I love tutoring students because I know how much a tutor can inspire a student to improve, and I hope to offer that to my own students. Some of my personal hobbies when...

...students figure out where the gaps are in their comprehension. One of my proudest accomplishments was teaching an algebra Regents repeater class for those who failed the test multiple times. I worked extensively with students to identify where they were struggling and remediating those areas (one example: I learned a student didn't actually understand how negative numbers operated and so they were constantly tripping up in arithmetic). We achieved about a 90% pass rate in...

...the SATs, ACTs, LSAT, GRE, basically all high school subjects, and a bevy of college ones, including history, psychology, economics, law, and writing. That's not because I'm an expert in everything - it's because the only thing I enjoy more than learning is helping someone else learn.

...doesn't know, what (s)he isn't able to do. This kind of instruction can be overwhelming for some students. That's why I've dedicated myself as a tutor to reversing this trend, and encouraging students to recognize the skills they already have, and use them to solve new, bigger problems. I've worked with students as young as five years old, all the way to graduate students working on their post-doc's. I always bring a positive energy to...

...Fall 2006. Long story short, my father was chronically ill, and I left school to help care for him. 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...
