I think the...

Next fall I hope to start...

...very basics, and that you get enough practice to ensure that no test question will ever leave you puzzled. Everyone that I have ever tutored has walked out more passionate about the subject, even if it was one they initially hated. They have always had better grades than when they started, and I have been lucky enough to help many of my tutees gain entrance into their dream schools, like UCLA. I must admit that...

...to me always. I know that Chemistry can have a particularly sharp learning curve for students and I worked through that myself, developing study and problem solving techniques that eventually led me to score a 5 on the AP Chemistry exam. History also requires a lot of time and effort, especially with memorization, synthesis, and learning how to craft an argument for historical writing. Given my own experiences with academics and tutoring, I can offer...

...the power of learning for the sake of learning, rather than for external factors like good grades or others' approval. I believe that when youth and adults alike view school or learning as something to suffer through for a distant goal in the future (a "no pain no gain" mindset), their willpower eventually wears thin in times of stress and hardship. Teaching people to like to learn and succeed in a way that works for...

This program places undergraduate and post-college instructors with small...

...High School, then worked all four years of college as a tutor, study group leader and teaching assistant. My professional life was also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012.

In my spare time I enjoy playing music with my two...
