...I put a strong emphasis on personalizing their studies to their needs and interests. My passions as a scholar lie in the humanities -- my two and a half years in the pre-medical program at Fordham notwithstanding -- particularly in American and European history, literature and Latin.

I still remember what was confusing to me when I was...

...student. This could mean providing additional exercises to the ones you have already, or discussing German newspaper or magazine articles.

Nearly my entire life has been devoted to education of some sort; whether it be as a learner, teacher or, in many cases both.

...Dame where I really developed a passion for teaching and enlightening students in my free time, despite being a finance major. I decided that instead of teaching/tutoring, I should work for corporate America, and I worked at Goldman Sachs for 3 years.

And...

...programs: the stories and passions that can bring the subject material to life. As an LSAT tutor I believe in the tireless and rigorous application of methods. The tests can both be very rewarding if one understands the laws behind the questions. I believe that preparation should focus on creating strategies and methods that respond to these laws. My LSAT students develop a toolbox to address each type of question, and they develop the perspicuity...
