I also teach a bi-weekly SAT Prep course in Glendale, and an advanced Competition Math class for two age groups (6-8 and 9-12). It's a lot of fun! I've always found math pretty neat and like to get students interested in it too! I love to...

...students want to learn and that one of the largest reason students begin to struggle in a class is because they have fallen behind in some way and therefore lost confidence. My main goal as a tutor will be to restore their confidence in the subject by providing complete understanding of concepts as well as preparing them for the most complex examples so that they will not be caught off guard in the class. I...

I volunteer in New Haven as a math teacher and coach at a public middle school (my team of 7th graders just won the 2016 New Haven regional championship!), and I've been tutoring middle and high school students for over 7 years. On top of all of that, I'm an aspiring professional in the business world - this past summer I worked at an internship in financial consulting (banking advisory & analytics), and...

Then I began professionally tutoring through my high school when I was sixteen until I was eighteen. I assisted middle schoolers and high schoolers, ages 11-18, on their core subjects: math, reading, social sciences, and physical sciences. I also assisted them in Spanish (all levels), AP classes, PSAT skills, and SAT...

I have extensive experience in subjects ranging from Mathematics and Physics to the humanities. My breadth across these subjects enables me to take a diverse approach to teaching that extends beyond knowledge of one individual subject area. My favorite high school courses were AP Calculus...

What works or makes sense for one student will not necessarily work for the next student, and so it is essential as a tutor to be able to explain the same concept in a variety of different ways and to be...

My focus when tutoring is student understanding. I believe academic goals are more readily achievable when concepts are understood, rather than formulas memorized. When helping students prepare for standardized tests I focus on taking practice exams and working with students on the areas they need the most help....

I've run more 5ks and 10ks than I can count, but the validation of completing a long race is nothing like the satisfying moment of writing "Q.E.D." on a difficult proof. I'm a scholar of the Western canon, greatly influenced by great thinkers and writers of the past...

Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests.
