I had a strong disposition for learning languages growing up in a Spanish speaking household and I decided to get my B.A. in Classical Languages and Philosophy at Vanderbilt University. Today, I am a post-baccalaureate student at the University of Pennsylvania. Because I see myself primarily as a philologist, I am studying in order to enter a Ph.D program. I believe that language is one of the primary factors in shaping how we, as individuals, think and present our ideas to the world. I am also a proponent of teaching Classical languages such as Latin and Ancient Greek to students in high school because these languages require the development of analytic capabilities which are sometimes lacking in other more memory-oriented subjects. Furthermore, my education in the Classics does not only focus on linguistics but also on history, mythology, and culture. I studied abroad in Rome for five months in the Spring semester of 2011 through the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies. During my time in Rome, I learned Italian, got to see landmarks of antiquity such as the Roman Forum, Pompeii, Herculaneum, Syracuse, Baiae, and see Medieval Italy through the artworks of Michelangelo and Bernini. Consequentially, I have a strong grasp of historical occurrences in Europe from antiquity to contemporary society. As a tutor, I intend to give a holistic and comprehensive approach to learning new subjects.

I am currently a rising senior at Vanderbilt University majoring in Human and Organizational Development with a minor in Chinese. I chose a major and minor combination that focuses on international business because I grew up in Singapore and would love to eventually return back to Asia. Throughout my time living in Asia, I traveled extensively and had the opportunity to work with children in Thailand and Cambodia, and help inspire them to pursue an education. Based on my experiences abroad, I believe that education has the power to change an individual's life for the better.Throughout my time at Vanderbilt, I have worked as an ACT tutor. I have always been passionate about helping students gain confidence in standardized testing, and think it is important for students to have a mentor that has already been through the process. While test prep can be difficult, it is extremely rewarding to see students excel and reach their goal scores. In addition to standardized test prep, I also have extensive experience with essay writing and editing. Essay writing has always been a passion of mine and I look forward to helping students overcome any obstacles they may have with writing.

I am currently an undergrad at Vanderbilt University, majoring in Mathematics and Political Science. I have been tutoring students since high school, mostly in science and math. I've found that STEM courses are intimidating to many students, and I hope to get rid of that fear and promote an appreciation for numbers and the sciences. In my tutoring, I focus on helping students understand the concepts beneath the problems, so as to facilitate learning rather than memorization. I strongly believe that every student is capable of reaching a strong level of understanding in any subject, given the correct tools, a teacher who can offer what they need, and some hard work.I am also available for standardized test prep. The SAT and ACT are one of the biggest hurdles in the college admissions process, and a score can make or break an application. Luckily, students can prepare for these tests fairly easily - repetition, time-management, and concept-review are all most students need to improve their scores, and I am happy to teach them how to do it.In my free time, I enjoy hiking, running, reading books about international politics and history, watching TV and movies, and listening to music.

I am eager to help students thrive because I'm still very much a student myself, and will be for the foreseeable future. Though I enjoyed my time as an undergraduate student in Literature, and learned quite a bit during my time at Vanderbilt, there's still more work to be done. I am working towards a Master's degree, and will continue on from there.Though I am more than happy to help where needed anywhere from K-12, I am most experienced with test prep tutoring. The SAT and ACT tests can be an extremely stressful event for students, especially first time test-takers, so I do my best to go beyond the material covered by the tests and prepare students for the experience of taking the test itself, so that when the day comes, they are confident and prepared to tackle whatever challenges rise up before them.The way that I teach generally falls in line with the way that I learn best myself: discussion and collaborative explanation. When approaching difficult material, lecturing at a student leaves much to be desired. I aim to help them arrive at conclusions and realizations on their own by building on material with which they are already comfortable and confident, and working together towards a solution rather than giving the answer and expecting it to simply be memorized.Outside of academic pursuits, I enjoy many creatively-focused hobbies, primarily writing, acting, and even juggling! I am thankful for the opportunity in my time at Vanderbilt to combine all three into an annual show that not only brought smiles to the faces of a campus, but had the chance to reach out into the Nashville community and make a difference.

I'm a recent graduate from Vanderbilt University, where I obtained my Masters of Education in Learning and Design, and a Bachelors degree from Southwestern University in Education and English.As a young student I found tutors to be immensely helpful in achieving success, so I know how important finding the right fit can be. I have experience tutoring, teaching, and mentoring students from ages 13 and up- though most of my recent experience is with college students.My favorite subjects to tutor are English and History, because I believe those are subjects where it's easy to help students find themselves within the subject matter. My teaching philosophy can be summed up as meeting students where they are at: to me, the key to student success lies in connection. Connection to instructors, to the content material, and to their own identities.
