...a passion for teaching, and teaching the right way -- not just to pass a test but to really explain the concepts so that YOU understand it properly. And perhaps I can convince you that the subject matter is something you like! It was a pleasure when my previous students acknowledged my influence in their honors theses or doctoral dissertations, and I hope that I can similarly help you in your learning process at whatever...

I have a doctorate from Yale University and am an active musician, teacher, and writer. My professional experience includes: private tuition, tutoring, schoolteaching, and university lectures. I believe teaching can be both creative and effective, which I achieve by applying personally tailored lessons, varied approaches, and professional methods. My teaching aims to meet the individual needs of each student through carefully structured lessons that establish strong foundations and encourages a dialogue of mutual engagement and...

...because working with them to find the approach that best caters to their needs feels awesome. As a tutor, I always ensure that my students have a good qualitative understanding of the subjects they are struggling in before helping them with quantitative problems. For example, rather than simply telling my calculus students the formula for integration by parts, I first show them how it is derived so they acquire a good grasp of how it...

...students to get used to high school expectations and sophomore curricula aimed at preparing students for IB study should they choose to pursue that path.Those years included creative writing of poetry and short fiction as well as study of the personal essay modelled on writings of authors such as Loren Eisley, Joan Didion, James Baldwin, and Alice Walker. There is more to writing than crafting a persuasive critical paper about a work of fiction.It was...

...myself as more of a resource to guide the student to the right solution rather than a solution manual to consult or a teacher to recapitulate a lecture. Of course, if what the student needs is a further explanation of lectured material, I am also happy to provide that, but I find it is best covered within the context of particular problems: we learn best by doing, and solving homework problems is no exception. Within...

...tutoring philosophy as entirely facilitative - I want to be there to help my students reach their goals on their own. Personally, my interests shadow my studies, but extend beyond them as well. I am matriculating to medical school next year, and am passionate about biomedical science and helping people. I spend my free time reading, playing pick-up basketball or soccer with my friends, going on a run or for a swim, and watching sports....

...ranged from elementary math to calculus. I believe in being patient with the kids I work with. Many learn at different paces, which is why they may fall behind in school. I try to connect what they are learning to school to something they can more easily understand: Teaching the same thing, but from a different angle. The trouble with some classes as well is the disconnect between the teaching and the participation. As a...

...in San Antonio, TX where I taught and mentored middle and high school students in math, science, and engineering topics. I have also tutored extensively in the San Antonio area (which is my hometown!). I emphasize understanding any material from multiple perspectives, which results in a sophisticated mastery of the content and allows students to feel comfortable with what they are learning, both in tutoring sessions and in the classroom. Whenever I tutor for test...

...once they understand how the test works and what each type of question is asking them to do. Whether a student is new to a test, feels like it presents a genuine source of difficulty for him or her, or is trying to figure out how to push towards a perfect score, I know the steps necessary to help that student reach his or her goal. I also have experience tutoring high-school and college-level mathematics,...

...that the best way to facilitate learning is to highlight easily understandable parallels to the content being studied. For example, I would compare a historical event to an ongoing, contemporary controversy. Or I would encourage students to think of historical figures as actual characters with goals and motivations instead of just a name on a page. Likewise, when tutoring vocabulary, I would encourage students to make an educated guess about a word's meaning by thinking...

I belief I qualify to tutor in the subject of chemistry with levels ranging from high school chemistry to AP chemistry, and finally to college level chemistry. This...

...for standardized tests like the SAT, SAT Subject Tests, and AP Exams. I'm also a Senior Staff Writer for Columbia's student newspaper, the Daily Spectator, so I'm pretty much constantly editing and giving advice to my fellow writers. I love sharing my excitement for learning with students, and I hope to be able to provide advice, preparation and insight to make the college application process a little less of a guessing game while reducing stress...

...SAT and other standardized tests, because I believe that with enough practice and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains. Outside of tutoring, I work as a scientist at a healthcare startup, and when I'm not at work I'm likely to be found...
