Film?) and organize the tutoring around his or her passions as a way to make them interested in the language and pursue it beyond his or her “school work”. I am a firm proponent of education, believing it to be absolutely necessary for an improved quality of life. I try to impart this appreciation to all of my students. In my spare time, I...

...years. When it comes to tutoring and teaching, I believe that attentiveness is extremely important. With my students, I always make a conscious effort to closely monitor their strengths, weaknesses, mistakes, and progress.

I am currently dancing professionally with New York Theatre Ballet, but missed the particular rigor of a scholastic environment, and, of course, students! Prior to working for NYTB, I gained additional writing experience as a...

...I have facilitated the acceptance of many students (who struggled considerably with academics and standardized tests) into ivy league and other top tier schools. I believe that the most successful learning comes when the student is able to develop a self-sustaining curiosity and interest in the subject matter, and, along with imparting skills and techniques to maintain grades and test scores, I have developed techniques myself to make students feel this sort of interest in...
