I am good at convincing my students that they will see more rewards from their persistence. I have worked with several students who were scoring in the seventies on tests and quizzes when I started working with them who then began to see dramatic results with scores in the nineties in a fairly short time.

I am excited to become a tutor with Varsity Tutors because I have a deep passion for learning and the journey of thinking. My obsession is philosophy, which as a kind of over-arching discipline concerning the knowledge of what is, disperses me into many of the various subjects within which the joy of thinking can inhabit. I am excited to work with students and learn from them and see the ways in which their thinking can develop, as well as help them acquire the skills to succeed in their courses...More

I am deeply committed to teaching. During my undergraduate, I was heavily involved in mentoring younger students in my department. I taught a class on Greek literature in translation as a volunteer teacher through Splash at Yale. I helped moderate discussions of current events between high school students as a board member of Yale Model Congress.

I'm thrilled every time one of my students begins to understand a grammar concept or reads alone, and that enthusiasm for both small victories and language and literature that is yet to be studied is contagious.

I'm the philosopher they call Andrew! You are most very definitely welcome to come to me with any school questions, but be warned: there's a good chance we'll soon be figuring out the meaning of life...

I am licensed to practice pharmacy in the state of New York. Subjects that I am the most comfortable teaching are math (up to Algebra 2), science (Biology, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, etc), and certain languages (Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal...More

I am most passionate about Korean, and Filmmaking. I truly believe learning a language should be approached with the right amount of academia and the hands-on experience; I will provide a practical environment where students can learn the Korean culture, history, and expressions that they can't learn from the books. As I am extremely knowledgable in Entertainment industry both in America and South Korea, the entire class could be taught in Korean with such topics as K-CULTURE, K-POP, K-Drama, an...More
