...convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws. But the tests aren't unfair or unbeatable; they challenge you to learn a specific language. I don't mean the fancy vocabulary you'll want in a verbal section, but the forms and patterns of the questions themselves. With thoughtful effort, any student can learn to understand the language of test-taking. As someone lucky enough to be fluent, I hope to...

...depth of knowledge and experiences in educational settings necessary to tutor all students. My emphasis as a teacher is the learning of the process rather than simply the product. Ensuring that the students have a deep understanding of the content will allow them to succeed more than simply teaching them a trick for getting the correct answer. Setting your expectations high will result in students reaching higher than they could have before.

I majored in environmental engineering at Tufts University, then woke up one day and decided to go to business school at the University of Kansas. At KU, I lived in a dorm and helped dozens of freshmen with math and English homework. I love being able to help people and take pride in my students doing well, so I'd like to continue doing that with Varsity Tutors.
