Award-Winning Social Studies Tutors serving Yonkers, NY

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.

...still interested in exploring a career in the arts, I decided to pursue a Masters in Public Art Studies. This discipline taught me the importance of understanding a user group's needs in order to work with them to satisfactorily deliver services and effective use of physical space to transform a community. Halfway through the program, I realized student affairs was my career path, and I decided to enroll in USC's Postsecondary Administration and Student Affairs...

...I am passionate about tutoring Mandarin Chinese, history, anthropology, writing, etc., because my educational and cultural experience in the U.S. as a Chinese national has cultivated my enthusiasm with cross-cultural studies, especially in an educational context. My senior thesis in college explored the postwar history of Chinese students in the U.S. and their transnational subjectivity -- namely, how they navigated their socio-cultural and political identities in a transnational context! I am excited to work with...

I've been tutoring formally and informally throughout the past seven years; during that time, I've developed my belief in a "person-first" approach to tutoring.

...in ways both big and small, and using this understanding to develop a culture of creativity and community. As a tutor, I find that empathy, a sense of humor, and flexibility are invaluable in helping others gain academic success and personal confidence. Working as a director has taught me that careful listening and guided collaboration are critical to both problem solving and teaching--and of course, that there is no greater teacher than trial and error!...

...students. In the contemporary world, with the rise of artificial intelligence and information at our fingertips, we don't need to go to school and teachers to learn facts and figures; a quick google search will give us all the answers to our questions. However, a robot cannot inspire and kindle the imagination of the students and nor do they can nurture students by educating what is right from wrong. Just like two sides of the...

...live in New York. I'm continually learning, reading, and researching, and I enjoy sharing my understandings with others to help them do the same. I very much enjoy both "left-brained" and "right-brained" subjects (like math and art), and am fond of exploring either sort through the lens of the other. For this reason, I enjoy helping people who tend to prefer a particular mode to understand the other, in a language that makes sense to...

I worked for America Reads as my work/study program at NYU. I understand many subjects are irrelevant as you enter college and eventualy begin your career path. It is important for studets to understand connections between all academic topics. You never know what you'll end up doing.

...experience in private, non-essential education (teaching with Education First in Quito, Ecuador). While I very much enjoy classroom teaching, the one-to-one or small-group teaching I did with Education First is something that I found to be most rewarding. Really being able to form close relationships with a small number of students and helping them grow was amazing. I aim to build these types of relationships and connections with students on their paths' to success.
