About Me

My goal as a tutor is first and foremost to help students learn. I love helping students and seeing them improve over time. I find teaching to be a truly rewarding experience, so much so that I used to do it for free. In the past, I volunteered at a community college academic support center as a math and science tutor and would have been hired on a professional basis, had it not been for some age-related hiring restrictions. (They could only hire people 18+, and I was 17 at the time.) Through the college tutoring center I received professional training on the best methods to help students learn and attended weekly workshops to improve my teaching skills. I have also freelance tutored with pupils of all ages, from elementary school kids all the way up to college students. I adapt my teaching methods to the student, identifying what their strengths and weaknesses are, explaining difficult concepts, giving practice problems, and helping with study habits. I specialize in SAT (all sections), math, and science. I also have experience with AP Tests. However, at elementary and middle school levels I can help with almost any subject.
