...first-order logic led me to undertake the LSAT as a personal challenge. My first attempt put me in the 97th percentile, and I've continued to study and refine my test-taking methods, treating LSAT questions like my daily crossword puzzle. I believe that learning is a process of mastering tiny skills that cumulatively add up to a grasp and control on the big picture. It's about challenging and expanding the bite you can chew.... Focus on the...

...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.

...point to truly grasp a concept or theory, instead of just memorizing it, they set themselves up to truly internalize the knowledge and be able to easily apply it moving forward.

...my absolute favorite subjects are Physics, Chemistry, Math and Biomedical Engineering. The basic sciences are always the most interesting because they govern the behavior of the world around us and it still amazes me how a few simple equations can apply to so many situations, including things we experience every day. My preferred teaching style involves a little bit of give and take. I think I excel at giving students new ways to think about...

...student in education at Columbia Teacher's College. I previously taught middle school in sunny South Carolina. For undergrad, I went to Ohio State where I studied English and Creative Writing. Reading is my absolute favorite thing, so tutoring English is my favorite subject! While my background is in English, I taught Science so I'm flexible on content I can teach.

Outside of tutoring, I am a high school mathematics teacher. I have been teaching for roughly 9 years (4 years college, 5 years high school). At the high school level I have taught Algebra, Algebra II, AP Calculus, and SAT Math. I am currently teaching solely Geometry because that is...

...concepts..soon you're able to tell me the reason for every variable in the Schrdinger equation. Sometimes my students also develop a passion for knowing why and I love it. I'm not a tutor automaton though; my other hobbies/passions include piano, weight lifting, classical music (and concerts), composition, and environmental activism.

...at NYU. I first became passionate about tutoring in high school, when I would assist other students in mathematics. I also have experience working with elementary school students in a bilingual New York City public school. One of the aspects of tutoring that I always look forward to is when students are able to confidently join their peers. In order to succeed in math, I approach each problem as a puzzle, and I encourage my...

...in children, from birth to early adulthood. Captivated by the interaction between genetic predisposition and environmental factors, and subsequent development of or resilience against psychopathological manifestations, I began to explore future research topics of this nature. While exploring different research opportunities, I came across Mt. Hope Family Center in Rochester, NY during my senior year of college. My interest grew as I learned more about their multi-level studies examining maltreatment in children and adolescents...

...skills. My passion for Literature arrived late; as the only child of a book publisher and librarian, I had to get my rebellion in somewhere.

For the future, I am hoping to start Medical School, pursing a career in Medicine, specifically becoming a Pediatrician because I believe in making a difference in children lives because a great future comes from a healthy body and mindset.... Everyone has...

...of life: the ability to improvise in unfamiliar situations, to persuade and argue effectively, and to formulate interesting research questions that eventually got me admitted to highly competitive graduate programs. There's nothing I love more than helping other students realize how much they personally stand to benefit from a good education, and that they should be making excellent grades not for their parents or teachers, but for themselves. When I'm not researching I like traveling...

...Science and Engineering Fair and so I am used to presenting my research projects in a concise and understandable way. I am skilled in breaking down difficult topics into bite sized pieces of digestible information. This way I am showing, not telling. I believe it is super important for the student to actually understand the information instead of just being able to regurgitate ideas and answers for a test. I hope to help you out!
