...I became entrepreneurial and wanted to soak up as much knowledge as I could. Around my junior year, I began looking how I could apply my knowledge to the outside work, noticing problems and attempting (earnestly) to solve them. I began going to places none of my friends knew about, attending meetups, hackathons, eventually figuring out other streams of activities that I could use to reinforce my knowledge base. I did not know what I...

...in Statistics. While I tutor Chinese, Psychology, and math I find math the most interesting and challenging. I like to explain the world with math concepts, which is easy and beautiful. Since I studied my math in China, I feel comfortable to transfer these concepts to the US classroom. I consider math and psychology as sciences and I believe the two can be used to understand each other. Besides math and psychology, as I've mentioned,...

...test I ever took without resorting to any kind of special technique. However, as I've worked as a tutor, I've come to realize just how *many* of those tests I took for practice before I took the real thing. By the time I sat down to the real SAT, I'd been steeped in test-prep culture for years. Even if I didn't intentionally set out to attack the test with "tricks," those tricks were embedded in...

...kindergarten to college. While I was in high school, I tutored students in math; when I was in college, I tutored accounting to my peers. When it comes to tutoring, I do not believe that there is one set teaching method for every student. The only thing I make sure to do with all of my students is to listen, to be patient, and to be encouraging. I try to understand what they currently know...

...individual and then using his or her interests along with research based learning techniques to make for a productive learning experience that is fun and engaging too.

I think it's vitally important to give my students the skills they need to go on and work independently-- so I look at tutoring as part of the developmental process that will have lasting, tangible results. As a parallel to my teaching work, I'm an actor and playwright. In my spare time...
