...success. One-on-one tutoring is an effective technique, particularly for explaining and modeling math, and I enjoy seeing students attitudes toward school brighten when they see immediate progress in their work. As a writing tutor, I like to focus on helping students find their authentic voice. Essays succeed when students strip away the extraneous material and present themselves and their ideas honestly, and I think with a little coaching any student can be a successful writer.

...to tutor include English, SAT test preparation, math, and psychology. My approach to tutoring is to meet the student where they're at and go from there. I find that this way we can build a productive tutoring relationship where I can help individualize learning to each person's particular learning style. Outside of academic interests, I enjoy cooking, being with friends and family, traveling the world, and looking as ridiculous as possible doing Zumba.... My teaching philosophy is to meet each student where they are in each subject. That way we can work together to build confidence and skills in the most effective way for each individual.

As a junior/senior, I also helped prepare students for PSAT/SAT & SAT subject tests...

For example, things like Advanced Placement tests and standardized tests when viewed as a whole can seem like daunting tasks which require lots of higher order reading, writing, and thinking skills.

In my spare time I enjoy reading, particularly nonfiction books on the areas I tutor...

Many students come in hating numbers, and it's always a thrill to see that attitude change. My interactive tutoring style encourages not only learning comprehension, but also confidence in the material and the student's skills. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, and making art.... My teaching philosophy focuses on the student. Each session should be tailored to the way a specific student learns. I want to make sure they not only understand the material, but that they have confidence in their abilities to use it on their own later.
