...have always loved working with people, especially students.

...have gained along the way. In this way, I learn as much from my clients as they do from me. In addition to going over the basics of good essay writing like organization, development of ideas, sentence and paragraph structure, use of vocabulary, etc., I also employ a system of "neutral questions" to help writers go deeper into their own ideas, synthesize their thoughts, and locate their own areas of deepest engagement. I find that...

I really enjoyed working with younger children and saw the importance of taking needed breaks and presenting more complicated information in a manner that is easier for them to understand and remember.

I hope to continue doing so as I work as a Tutor for Varsity...

...senior at NYU, and part of the Stern/Tisch dual degree program, getting a BS in Business and a BFA in Film and Television. I've been tutoring since my sophomore year, including over Zoom for the past year. My main focus is test prep, where I focus on "gamification." I know it sounds crazy, but test prep really can be fun, and seeing it as a game can help scores improve dramatically and make studying less...

After graduating from the University of Chicago in 2011 I decided to take the skills I had learned from my time in the Collegiate...

I am an experienced tutor and teacher in a wide variety of subjects who specializes in student-centered, personalized learning.... I believe you need to meet students where they are, match your teaching style to their personal interests, and let them have a role in setting their goals. Learning is something a student does with a teacher's help, not something a teacher does to a student.... Ask them what they like and don't like about the subject,...

...a leading role developing SAT curricula for a variety of skill levels. Though I have played a number of roles as an educator, I take a special pleasure in prepping students for the SAT. It is a fundamentally understandable test with a limited number of patterns and question types that can be mastered with practice. The formulaic nature of the test gives me the privilege and joy of being able to reveal a manageable and...
