I'm a freshman at the College of William and Mary studying finance and computer science.

I want to show my students the joy of learning, as cliche as that might sound. I guess this stems from my own love of learning, but tutoring lets me share this love in a one-on-one, individual scenario. Seeing as my desired career is to be a college professor, tutoring allows me to get an early edge on my teaching skills as well.

...Horace Mann School in New York City. I love teaching and working with students because I feel that there is nothing more rewarding than being able to provide the extra push that students might need to be successful. I am passionate about helping students learn and making sure they are having fun doing so. I'm also happy to talk about anything a student might want to talk about, academically, extracurricularly, or otherwise.... In a typical first session, I would spend time introducing myself and getting to know the student. Then we would spend some time figuring out the student's strengths and weaknesses, and I would work with the student to identify what he or she wants to work on or needs help with. After that, I would have the student complete some practice problems or answer practice questions in the areas that we have identified. I will use that information that I gather in order to design a plan for our next few meetings that is tailored to the student's needs and wants.
