...endeavors. I have 6+ years of experience tutoring in STEM and Humanities from grades K-12. I also have experience tutoring in college level Biology and Chemistry classes.

...and individual settings. I have taught students of all abilities in a wide variety of subjects. There is no confusion too small or problem too complicated that I cannot help with if not solve. I am exceptionally dedicated to my students; ensuring that they not simply memorize concepts or regurgitate facts but truly understand the material. I ask them to defend their answers which teaches them that the correct response is often less important than...

...now enjoy learning about and studying. I believe I am a good tutor and teacher because I am patient, encouraging, and have good communication and classroom management skills.

...with science fiction/fantasy publisher Tor Books in downtown NYC. My tutoring style is based on the belief that each student comes to a problem or subject from a different angle. The trick is not only to find the approach that works for the student, but also to boost the student's own investment in finding the methods that work best. I believe a student learns best when choosing to engage with the subject on a personal...

...as easily as possible through exposure to historical sources and understanding of their uses--I also frequently approach history from a so-called "bottom-up" or microhistorical approach, which I've found in teaching Roman Republican history can be very useful for students in understanding how a society functioned, which is crucial for their understanding of causality of events. These methods of approaching teaching in these particular subjects served me well during high school and now as I approach...

...owes to the way my mind learns. My mind is suited to books and the classroom, and this is a convenience for which I am very fortunate. I recognize, however, that every mind learns in its own way---a reality that institutional education cannot accommodate. I make it my priority to determine what methods of demonstration and motivation are best suited to every student I work with. I look forward to working with you. I really...

...enjoying my work with ESL students and students with disabilities. I am especially passionate about foreign languages, the humanities, and social sciences.

When I studied abroad in Paris, I taught a three year...

Prior to the outbreak of COVID-19, my plans were to attend Columbia's School of Social Work, where I was hoping to counsel foster youth.

My goal as a tutor is to share with my students an excitement for learning, as...

...I encourage open communication about any difficulties my students have with the day's material. Students must feel comfortable enough to express when they don't understand a concept - no matter how seemingly insignificant. With the information my students relay, I can tailor each session appropriately. Ultimately, I want to give my students tools that will help them succeed in their academic careers. Oftentimes, half of the battle with learning anything new is overcoming the fear...
