...of a non-profit tutoring center. Under my administration we tracked students' scores and attained the highest average grade increase in the program's history. By guiding other tutors and consulting students for feedback on their experience, I got a very keen sense of what works and what doesn't. In tutoring, I focus on results, but not to exclusion. I want to provide the student with a meaningful experience. That is to say, I aim to cultivate...

...aspect of my life that I find very rewarding. To be able to take someone with an attitude of the topic being too hard to being confident enough to approach any challenge. I love showing how a deeper understanding can translate to being able to adapt to any situation you encounter on the test. This approach served me well as both an undergraduate and graduate teaching assistant. This is more than a career for me,...

...and the reading and writing sections of the SAT. I love being able to help students discover a love of reading and writing like I have, and being able to apply it to their schoolwork and any other ways they need to succeed. For learning to be most successful, I believe in a collaborative, student-centered approach to tutoring, that is, to always keep in mind both what the student wants to learn and what they...

I believe that there are various forms of...

...Engineering and minoring in Sustainable Urban Environments. For the past couple of years I have tutored a few students on and off in Trigonometry, SAT Math, and GRE Math. I enjoy tutoring Math because I love Math in general, and I enjoy passing that love onto others. I believe that one-on-one tutoring is beneficial for all students, especially in the NYC school system, where education is not focused enough on the individuals. I love reading,...

...learning style of the student, and that is why I prefer to teach 1 to 1 and to small groups instead of traditional classroom teaching. I dont use a cookie cutter approach, rather I adapt methodologies that show positive responses from the individual student. I dont carry a large student load because I really enjoy delving into the subject matter that I am teaching or tutoring and observing how students thinks their way through problems....

...students as a Varsity Tutors tutor. I have experience tutoring elementary school math, Algebra, Algebra II/Pre-calc, English literature, writing (esp. essay editing), Biology (including AP), Chemistry (including accelerated and AP), SAT, and French (through French III).

I attended a Montessori school from pre-school through 8th grade, and was heavily influenced by the focus on independent learning, discovery, and exploration as...

...work hard and learn anyway are some of the reasons why I teach. Students struggle with the same material I did and had the same frustrations. I can 100% relate to their feelings. My tutoring strategy builds off of using simple analogies to understand concepts and clear explanations to understand problem solving and strategies. I strive to create a safe learning environment for asking questions and saying "I have no idea what's going on. I...

...sciences, and public policy. Through my interests in music, teaching, and research the most valuable skill I have learned is the ability to communicate material in a clear and approachable manner. Past students have remarked that my teaching style is animated and are surprised at their ability to focus and understand concepts even after a long day of school, practice, or work. When I am not teaching or grading papers, I can usually be found...
