...summer in Nairobi, Kenya, teaching at an all-girls school. I greatly enjoy tutoring both history (and related social studies) and mathematics because I see them as two different ways of telling stories about the world in which we live.

...tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT test preparation as well as Mathematics, I carry with me, aside from a substantial knowledge of all subjects, a "bag of tricks" made up of pneumonic devices, preparation skills, and exercises in focus/concentration. With any session, my goal is to deconstruct seemingly difficult concepts into more digestible steps -- in essence working with the...

...their grades over time. I believe it is important to assess the needs of the student whether it is teaching them test-taking skills, fundamentals of a subject or building their confidence to succeed. Each aspect contributes to a student's understanding. It is an integral part of my job to set a plan for students to follow, and implement it in a way specific to their needs. Over the years, I have developed a passion for...

...only work through problems but to explain them back to me, to help build confidence in their own understanding of the material while cementing concepts in their minds. I also heavily emphasize developing intuition as opposed to rote memorization. If a student can learn the foundational ideas that underlie the sciences, they will be able to work their way through any future problems based in those foundations. I also apply this philosophy to test prep,...

...to struggle with a subject in school or have trouble managing my time, so I will bring my own experiences and solutions, along with unique and personalized teaching strategies to each student.
