...is an essential part of every student's education. I strive to create a friendly and light-hearted working environment where students are comfortable asking questions because, from my experience, it is more conducive to learning.

I recently graduated with a MAT in Childhood Education 1-6 from Queens College, so I prefer to work with Elementary students. I believe one-on-one tutoring is more effective because individual attention gives personalized benefits for learning. My hobbies are listening to music and reading novels.

Although multiple strategies are used to reach each and every one of my students, one thing they all have in common is a shared love and appreciation for reading.

...click and a student who "hated Math" suddenly becomes enthusiastic and able to teach me the material. I know I succeeded when my students reach their goals and are no longer struggling but excelling.

In my free time I enjoy reading the newspaper, scrapbooking, and being in nature. I love to travel...

...and watch their scores climb. I later had that same satisfaction on a personal level when I tutored my younger brother throughout his SAT preparation. He is now finishing his freshman year at his top choice university and he could not be happier.

I have experience both tutoring and directing children and young adults - not just in things like homework help and the like, but in learning how to play the violin and in performing as a part of a musical. As you can imagine, my work experience is just as varied as this tutoring experience! I'm excited to put my multi-discliplinary work and...

Fluent in Spanish and German, I also study second language acquisition in...
