I employ a student-centered teaching style, encouraging students to think independently and draw their own conclusions about the content. In my free time, I enjoy appreciating and...

...rather than having topics taught at you. For standardized testing: I have taken the special classes and labored through the workbooks to prepare for taking the exams myself. The trick is to learn the test and know how to beat it with the right tools, and I am eager to pass along what I have learned from years of studying for and taking standardized tests. There is nothing quite like sitting down in the testing...

I have also captained an award-winning collegiate mock trial team for several years, which involves mentoring younger students in oral and written communication skills.

...student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that my students were feeling the first time I had learned the material. The skills and perspective I developed through this...

...SAT, ACT, and MCAT. Since graduating in May with two degrees in biology and psychology, I have spent my time going through the medical school application process.

There is no better feeling than watching someone have a eureka moment...

My goal for every student is to be thorough and efficient. I strive to help them understand what they need to know in a timely manner. I believe that every student is capable to understanding what they are learning if they are given individual attention. I...

...and confidence that you can carry forward. My favorite subjects to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family, traveling the world,...
