...are out there and what educational approaches to take in tutoring sessions. A little about me- I am a graduate of Duke University, with a major in Psychology and minors in Art History and English. Currently, I am an MBA student studying Finance at NYU Stern. People say I am creative, empathetic, and kind. Relationships are very important to me, and I look forward to developing great relationships with my students. Thank you, Yuyi... Focus on...

...a subject boils down to understanding its basic components, and my philosophy is if you master the basics, no question can be too difficult for you. I can tutor a wide variety of subjects, but I'm most equipped to prepare students for their SAT's (math, critical reading, and writing) alongside teaching History, Economics, and English, both at the general and AP levels. In my free time, I enjoy playing volleyball, cooking, traveling, and watching Netflix.

I've always known I wanted to teach. Once I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology/Neuroscience, I decided to pursue a Masters degree in Education. I love working with classrooms full of students, but I also love working with people one-on-one. I find that when the tutor has a chance to zero in on and accommodate a students' individual needs and learning style, the experience becomes more productive and enjoyable for everyone involved.

...I earned a Masters of Arts in Education from Pepperdine University. I also earned CA teaching credentials in Social Science, English, and Multiple Subject (elementary).

I am most passionate about giving students the personalized educational experience they need and deserve. I teach most history subjects, English, writing, and study...

...the most about a subject through teaching it, even areas you already have a strong competence and knowledge in. I work a lot through interdisciplinary methods, visual learning and storytelling, and try as much as I can to incorporate other senses and games into the learning process where appropriate. I have great fun teaching and sharing my testing tips, knowledge, hard-won writing and reading skills and that is ultimately, more than anything else, what makes...

Trained in the social sciences and humanities, I am well-equipped to help students achieve their academic goals. I customize my tutoring to each student's personal needs and encourage them to practice critical thinking skills that help them achieve their personal and professional goals.

...a final product that they're proud of! I believe that one-on-one tutoring is the most beneficial way to polish a student's work, and as someone with much experience doing so, I am very thankful that I am able to do this virtually and help students from all over. I truly believe that putting in time to build one's vocabulary and diction outside of tutoring and class sessions is required in becoming a greater writer. As...

...ranging from middle school English to Mathematics to AP Physics. I have always enjoyed working with students and there are few experiences more rewarding than getting a child over his or her fear of a subject that they find difficult. It was not easy, but I have even managed to convince people that math is not some bizarre form of torture. It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is...

I grew up in Westchester County, where I volunteered as an assistant creative writing teacher in high school. After high school, I moved to Evanston, Illinois for school.

...ages, and am excited to help people reach their academic goals! My aim is to not only provide help to those who need it, but to also teach students how to better learn on their own (the higher your education goes, the more important this becomes!). While the old "catch a [wo]man to fish and they eat for a day, teach a [wo]man to fish and they eat for a lifetime" proverb may be a...

These areas align with my expertise, and I am always excited to see students gain confidence in articulating their ideas clearly and persuasively. My tutoring style is student-centered, focusing on their specific needs and learning styles. I aim to make every session interactive,...

I'm a recent transplant from Chicago after attending Northwestern University. When I'm not listening to rap or taking pictures of random strangers on the street with my film camera, I enjoy reading short stories. I've always been a visual learner that benefits from DOING... that means I don't want to lecture you during our sessions, but open the dialogue to have fruitful conversations rather than having you memorize and forget.

...I enjoy learning about the individual; not only the student. In order to understand the educational needs of each student, I must first understand each person. I enjoy using culturally relevant pedagogy to ensure that my enrichment is useful and can be applied to daily education. I expect nothing but the best for all of the scholars under my tutelage. Within everyone lies the ability to learn, but first we must learn how to learn.

...fieldwork. In addition to this fieldwork, I have been tutoring students for the past two years and have been homeschooling a fourth grade student for the past year. I am very familiar with the Common Core Standards. I am also working at a learning center tutoring students from pre-k to middle school in English and Math. I have a learning difference and was classified in first grade. Due to my difference, I have had to...

...that love of learning to others. Whether it be music, math, history, literature, or science, I have embraced education whole-heartedly my entire life and have had many wonderful experiences effectively sharing that passion with others and helping younger students find it in themselves for whatever subject(s) they struggle in or desire to pursue in greater depth. I look forward to getting to you know my students and their parents. By working together, I am confident...

...my students. Patience comes from my naturally calm demeanor, and my strong desire to help my students understand the materials in front of them. It also comes from knowing that everyone learns at their own pace, and that everyone can learn any concept, if given the proper opportunity. Reliability reflects my ability to let my students know they can count on me to help them advance in their studies. It also reflects my punctuality to...

...is one of my favorite pastimes--it's part of the reason I also enjoy writing about arcane financial topics like quanto spreads on sovereign CDS. I've also developed a newfound respect for the challenges students face when undergoing years of testing after developing my own study plan to pass the first two CFA exams (I'm taking the third exam in June). This experience has shaped how I work with students to tackle test-taking anxiety and master...
