...year early with a great scholarship. But more than the immediate freedom of college and a new state, my investment in my own education gave me an array of skills that have helped me in all areas of life: the ability to improvise in unfamiliar situations, to persuade and argue effectively, and to formulate interesting research questions that eventually got me admitted to highly competitive graduate programs. There's nothing I love more than helping other...

...certain things and sometimes teachers do not even think about this themselves. Math is a subject that builds on itself, so it is important to teach students how they are building on prior knowledge. "Yes, this is a new formula we will be using, but you already know how to get to this point because of what was done in the last chapter." It makes it easier to know that you already know how to...

...solver, which means that students need to understand the "why" behind the equations rather than just memorizing them. When students struggle in math, it is often because they are trying to learn through rote memorization rather than by gaining a deep understanding of the topic. My goal is to help students attain this understanding. Incidentally, most standardized exams also test students' problem solving skills; they often need to apply information they know in a new...

...have been teaching for four years. In my first two years I attained a Masters in Science in Special Education from Fordham University. I teach in District 79, an amorphous district, that caters to students who have struggled in a traditional academic setting. During this time I have come to believe that every student is unique and requires differentiated learning styles and/or resources that will help him or her succeed. I am fortunate enough that...

...Multi-Language (Spanish, French & Mandarin) and minored in Communications. Personally, as a language student myself, I completely understand the struggles and frustrations that come when learning a language for the first time.

I have a M.Div. and a certificate in Gender, Theology, and Ministry, and an A.M. in Comparative Literature and African-American Studies from Duke University.

Most recently, I took the GRE to get into...

...being asked and the way we understand the test itself is just as crucial to success, especially in standardized testing. Therefore, no matter what subject I tutor, it is my goal not just to help the student memorize information and facts, but to lead them towards understanding the underlying goals and structure of the test or assignment itself. To this end, in my lessons I often incorporate cutting-edge mindfulness-awareness and associative memory techniques based both...

I would assess the student's knowledge of the subject by asking beginner, intermediate, and advanced questions about the subject....

...the same way. When students have a good time learning, they learn better and achieve more. In my experience, helping students explore their own creativity and build their critical thinking skills can help them excel in all subjects. Every student has their own learning style, and every learning style can be successful. I get to know what my students enjoy and what drives them, and help them align their education with their style and their...
