...Engineering, Cum Laude in 2009. Since then, I've worked as an engineer and a consultant on technical projects of all sorts, collaborating with a diverse set of team members and clients along the way.

...with various situations they might find themselves in. While I tutor in a variety of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are standardized tests such as the SAT and LSAT as there truly is a science behind approaching questions, finding contextual clues and eliminating wrong answers.

This was an incredible position. I worked with them on Literature, Algebra, Biology, Chemistry, History and Geography...

I love working with students in a variety of subjects (mostly math) and seeing them improve and achieve their dreams!... I believe that everyone can learn, it just takes some a bit longer or with some different methods.... I would get to know the student, his or her likes and dislikes, and have the student personally assess how he or she does in school.... I like to have my students explain back what they are doing and why they are doing it, making the knowledge their own.

...of these areas boosts overall academic success and builds a student's self-confidence. In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical engineering. When I'm not tutoring, I spend my time writing and performing spoken...

During my tenure at Boston University I was responsible for teaching two undergraduate level engineering courses, requiring me to teach in both large classroom and one-on-one settings. I am most comfortable teaching quantitative sciences, although I also have experience teaching standardized tests and more qualitative subjects such as Biology or Chemistry....

Originally from the Boston area, I completed my undergrad degree at Georgetown University in Washington where I focused on Marketing, International Business, and Spanish. I have lived and worked in Boston, Spain, Belgium, Washington, Brazil, and Afghanistan.

I am a great tutor because I am extremely patient. I believe that the...
