I am a graduate student at George Mason University studying Computer Science. I also graduated at Vanderbilt University, with Bachelors Degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Philosophy. When a student does not understand a topic or concept, I believe the best way to teach it is to meet students where they are at, providing individually catered feedback, and exploring the aspects of a student's weaknesses, finding a way to explain the concept in a way that resonates with and makes sense to the student. I am most familiar with tutoring for the SAT, where I have generally increased scores by 120-300 points.
