Hello! I'm a freelance journalist and theatre director with B.As in Theatre and Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I love working with students to help them to grow and develop skills in various fields of study and I look forward to working with you!

...my life. Whether it's getting lost in a good book or feeling the thrill of excitement at finally solving a difficult math problem, I feel that learning should be fun and viewed as a challenge, not a chore. Throughout my academic career, I have been a well-rounded student, excelling in math as well as language and literature. I am a notoriously good test-taker, a skill developed from solid study habits that I hope to pass...

...started tutoring before college, and I have since tutored students ages three-adult in French, SAT Reading, Writing, and Verbal, Essay Writing, ESL, Study Skills, and more. I am also an avid, competitive ballroom dancer. I began teaching dance at my ballet studio in high school before going on to teach my college team, as well as wedding dances to private couples. I am also a freelance writer and am working on learning a fourth language,...

...in subjects ranging from American history to writing and test preparation. Although I am confidant in a number of varied topics, history, from American to modern world to ancient civilizations, remain my favorite. I love the moment when a student starts connecting ideas and historical events and themes. I sincerely feel that the education system is one of, if not THE most important systems in the world today and cannot wait to see how it...

...thinking is one of the most important skills someone can learn. Most of the subjects that I enjoy - history, government, political science, philosophy, etc. - are subjects that inherently deal with concepts and creations made by mankind, and thus they reflect man's imperfect nature. The ability to analyze these concepts and creations with a mind for the why, the how, and the strengths and the weaknesses is invaluable. Analytical and critical thinking is something...

...in Biochemistry and History. I have been tutoring for approximately 3 years now and truly enjoy it. I have past experiences tutoring students in levels of math up to college calculus (including preparation for advanced placement and regents examinations) . Additionally, I have tutored World and United States History (including preparation for advanced placement and regents examinations) as well as preparation for the SAT and ACT. I find tutoring to be a very rewarding experience...

...working at the United Nations, leading sales for an international pharmaceuticals company, and teaching students of a wide range of ages in Korea, I excel at connecting with people on a level that they understand. As an educator, I seek to bring real-world value to whatever I am teaching, helping students to understand how the topic at hand connects to their everyday lives. I always strive to be engaging and make my lessons as fun...

...University. After discovering that my true passion was teaching and not research, I went back to school and got my Master of Arts in Teaching. Since 2009, I have taught 8th, 9th, 10th, and 12th grades. I have also taught three different courses as an adjunct instructor. My educational philosophy is based on considering the whole student: what he or she likes, his or her strengths and weaknesses, his or her temperament. By considering all...

...Check out my excellent scores on the SAT and SAT subject tests, including a perfect score on Math II. I'm friendly, flexible, and always put students' and families' needs first. I also know a lot about teaching, due to my background in ESL teaching, educational nature tours, and private SAT tutoring (see my resume!). I majored in English at GWU and I would love to help you improve the quality of your academic writing. I'm...

...am pursuing a career as an actor, but am thrilled to continue to flex my intellectual side and share my passion for learning with the next generation. In college, I studied Cognitive Science, not so much as a fallback career, but because I am fascinated by the subject. I succeeded in getting into Northwestern without the aid of any academic tutors or test prep classes. As such, I am confident in my standardized test-taking abilities,...

...it. I believe in expanding the students' world by teaching not only facts and theories but the implication behind them in addition to sufficient application practice. I want the students to foster intellectual curiosity as they delve into a particular subject. Born and raised in Beijing for 18 years, I can also teach Chinese and the rich culture around it. I'm also experienced in test prep and would love to help students get into their...

...have tutored elementary students to college students. Additionally, I have tutored children with a variety of needs (Autism, hearing impairment, deafness, ADD, ADHD, dyslexia, etc.). When I tutor, I focus on trying to get the child to gain confidence in themselves. If they cannot figure out the problem, I will try and help them learn process of elimination. Furthermore, I have tutored in a variety of different styles depending on the needs of the student....

...traveling, while continuing to tutor writing skills online. I emphasize learning how to write a clear, organized, and persuasive argument supported by solid evidence. In addition, I have experience tutoring students one-on-one with academic subjects and test prep. I enjoy helping my students discover the patterns behind the problems in standardized tests, especially in the SAT and LSAT. I believe in a personalized approach, and I love seeing students gain mastery and understanding of these...

...finding the answers allow me to tell great stories and (hopefully) increase the level of knowledge among the public. As a recent student myself, I understand how the pressures of school can sometimes work against your innate curiosity. As a tutor, my goal is of course to help you maximize your success in school and standardized tests. But it's also (again, hopefully) to make room for curiosity, and to remind students, at least a little...

...build a better understanding of the priorities, goals, and daily challenges of the rural poor in Rwanda. I taught high school English but, working in a village school, I had few resources. I developed my own curriculum based on the skills I saw my students needed most and created teaching material that made lessons dynamic and fun. The level of need I saw in my neighbors, students and colleagues motivated me to go beyond my...

...English department. Thanks to the development of those skills, I earned a perfect 12 on the ACT's Writing section, and was named a National Merit Commended Scholar following my performance on the PSAT. After experiencing such dramatic improvements firsthand, I'm proud to tutor in English, Reading, and Writing techniques at all age levels, and to apply those skills toward the ACT, SAT, and AP exams. In my opinion, positivity, creativity, and patience are crucial skills...

...in the humanities and the sciences, became a Pilates instructor, and also played drums and wrote music professionally! As a result, I can truly get in the mindset of a student who is learning something - NO question is out-of-bounds or silly - it all comes from a place where the mind is trying to incorporate new information. There is nothing worse than an expert "teacher" who has forgotten what the various stages of learning...

...a national college access and retention organization. I enjoy working with teenagers and young people to help them succeed at short term tasks as well as strengthen their skills and confidence over time. Given my experience, I know what students need to be prepared for college and how to get them to that level. Whether it's test prep, essay writing, history content or study skills, I can provide the extra push for students to realize...

...students see their own potential for success and discover their strengths. Through patience and hard work, they can improve in areas they don't feel as comfortable and eventually gain the confidence to take any test with ease and certainty. I am lucky to help students grow and flourish in many subjects and I enjoy working both with students who just need a little extra practice to students who are struggling in classes. Practice makes perfect...

...best help to improve one’s skills. I moved to New York City to continue my own development as a performer at the highest level, and I appreciate the will to aspire that this city instills. I enjoy clearly communicating complex ideas to students and, not just delivering content, continually checking in for actual understanding and growth. With so much experience in test prep, I know the importance of helping students feel empowered to replicate the...
