...high school. I have done private tutoring for the last eight years. I tailor my tutoring sessions to the student's needs. We work on homework and supplementary materials for content areas in need of improvement. I take the time to understand why the student is struggling in particular areas and how we can create strategies for the student to use to succeed. I am very patient with my students, so they do not feel frustrated....

...to the student's pace so that they get the most out of each session. I love tutoring because I know how important it is. I took tutoring sessions myself when I was in high school to prep for AP and ACT exams. Those sessions really helped me, and that is what inspired me to become a tutor and help others. I also have a huge passion for math. I have loved and excelled at it...

...elements of their everyday lives into the learning equation (no pun intended). It is always beneficial to consider how various topics and concepts can be understood on an empirical level instead of just abstractly. Additionally, it is always my goal to develop a firm mutual layer of trust. I want my students to feel 100% comfortable expressing any worries or frustrations they may have. All students deserve the help and attention they need to make...

...upon the methods of engagement. When learning Chinese, it is critical for the student to bridge the gap between hearing the language in their head and speaking it out loud. Outside of academia, my interests revolve around making all kinds of things: composing music, cooking Chinese dishes, building sculptures, or anything at all! I find it is extremely therapeutic and important to put under-utilized creative energy to use. I also really enjoy graphic novels and...

...Shakespeare, especially since I've found that a lot of people don't really know how to engage with it. But there's a whole world of depth and complexity to explore in his works, and helping students open that door has been very rewarding for me. I believe that the key to learning effectively is to want to learn. That sounds a bit trite, but I've found that when students don't see any value in the material...

...to my Psychology BA because I enjoy reading and writing so much. I’m not just a book worm though. I’m a huge sports fan (especially for my Buckeye Football National Champs!), I’m a total gym rat, and I have the stereotypical love for all things girly: hair, makeup, fashion, etc. Most importantly, however, I love teaching. I utilize my psychology experience to foster a comfortable environment for my students and help them know they are...

...material with you. When I'm not tutoring, I trade energy derivatives in Manhattan. Fortunately, my flexible hours allow me to meet nearly all scheduling needs. I would describe myself as laid-back, easy to talk to, and dedicated--I've had great success with nearly all my former students. Recently, one of my students placed into an excellent charter school after tutoring with me last year; the students was three grade levels behind, and I attribute much of...
