I believe that all students should be given the opportunities they deserve to advance in their education ... All students have the potential to learn; they need only find the right method....

Guide them through questions without telling them the answer, gradually removing supports with each practice until they are able to complete the task on their own.

...love seeing understanding light up in a student's eyes when they understand a new concept or finally get something they've been struggling with.

...Fractions and decimals are a problem of the past! Outside of tutoring, I spend my time with friends at local restaurants and playing video games. My younger brother and I played plenty of Pokemon when we were children, and through that, we have learned that some problems may give you the disadvantage, but with the...

...have also found myself drawn to working with kids. I have worked as a nanny and tutored kids between the ages of three and seventeen, and I feel especially qualified to work with students on the writing and verbal sections of the SAT and editing their personal statements and college essays. As a high schooler,...

...in visualization. I think this is the best way for a student to understand concepts, especially when it comes to complex topics in math.
