...to get used to high school expectations and sophomore curricula aimed at preparing students for IB study should they choose to pursue that path.Those years included creative writing of poetry and short fiction as well as study of the personal essay modelled on writings of authors such as Loren Eisley, Joan Didion, James Baldwin, and Alice Walker. There is more to writing than crafting a persuasive critical paper about a work of fiction.It was also...

...language skills while working and traveling to over 65 countries. My extensive linguistics knowledge coupled with my teaching experience allows me to help students struggling with learning Spanish; or writing college essays, term papers, dissertations or articles for publication; or organization skills to improve academic performance. Because of my varied travel experience I find it easy to adjust to students experiences and learning gaps in order to show them how to utilize the knowledge they...

I will work with them hour by hour to the best of my ability to deliver what is necessary to achieve their goals. Education matters and your knowledge is tested through your scores, so they matter. The only way to win is through effective collaboration, mental determination, and hard work. I want to work with my mentee to figure out...

...also been tutoring students in a variety of subjects. I have been tutoring students since I was in 7th grade, and my favorite subject to tutor is math. My family is originally from Russia, and I grew up with a very strong and traditional math background. I always find teaching math to students to be gratifying, and I hope to share some of my love for math with my students. I also enjoy tutoring test...

...ideas into clear and accessible language. There is nothing more gratifying than working through a difficult concept with a student and know they truly understand it and can put it into practice. In my free time I enjoy reading. Some of my favorite authors are George R. R. Martin (the author A Game of Thrones) and Junot Diaz. I also enjoy spending time with friends, often playing competitive board games, such as The Settlers of...

...graduate after passing since the math regents were holding them up. I believe in teaching students the skills they need to work independently. My motto is "if students can, they will" with the corollary "if they can't, it's my job to teach them how." I firmly believe there are no "bad" students, just students who haven't received the supports they need to be successful. I provide the skills and then challenge students to achieve more...

I find myself enjoying teaching all realms of biology, from introductory to graduate test prep (GRE subject tests). I have a large amount...

...also traveled to Europe and the Middle East as part of my studies. In addition, I am a freelance writer, and my work has appeared in the Huffington Post, The Atlantic, and USA Today. I've also been a finalist for several national playwriting awards. Most importantly, I love working with my students. Their success is my success and I firmly believe that everyone is capable of getting better, no matter how tough the subject matter....

...fundamental principles and that is more fun to do with physics. Tutoring students is all about guiding them through the problem solving process. This is more about understanding than about remembering specific details. My approach also allows students to break the problem into smaller steps and solve it in a way that is easier for them. This is the same strategy I use in my own classes and to solve technical problems at work. In...

...I'm happiest learning and sharing my knowledge with people of all ages. I bring extensive, fruitful editing experience, SAT verbal expertise, as well as fluency in Spanish, my first language. Speaking and learning foreign languages is one of the greatest joys in my life; I'm currently refining French and taking "Intensive Portuguese for Spanish Speakers." It's a life-long process. And yet, I believe foreign languages are best learned in big, joyful leaps, most often with...

...relating material to your personal strengths and interests. History and Literature are two of my greatest passions, subjects I studied at the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. Though these subjects can at times be difficult to engage with, I am confident that together we can uncover new perspectives and learning strategies that will reinvigorate your relationship to the material and improve your grades dramatically. Sometimes all that is necessary for an academic breakthrough is...

...did. I teach all aspects of the LSAT and enjoy each and every section. As a philosophy major, I enjoyed using my brain in a logical manner and have found there to be fun in tutoring the LSAT. I believe that the LSAT can and should be a fun test to study for and strive to make sure that it is enjoyable for all of my students. I prefer to just serve as a guide...

I was also the President of the Hindu Students Council and helped to coordinate our annual Holi festival which has grown to be one of the biggest and most anticipated events of the year on campus. Over this past year, I was also the President of my service-based fraternity in which we raised money for...

...sixth grade who pushed and encouraged me and made me love it. I then went on to take advanced math classes throughout middle and high school and then attend a technical university with a heavy math emphasis. I believe that many students are disinterested in academics because they feel discouraged, and I hope to turn this around in the same way that my sixth grade math teacher did for me through persistence and positive reinforcement.

...College, hoping to become a Physician Assistant. I love helping people learn more about subjects that I find interesting and am passionate about like math, biology, and chemistry. I have taken math courses through Calculus III, chemistry courses from General Chemistry I through Organic Chemistry I, and biology courses from General Biology I through Anatomy and Physiology. I was a TA for a genetics course and am familiar with courses like cell biology, immunology, and...

...and right at the same time as the COVID pandemic began. What can I say? I'm a lucky guy! To cope with the postponement of my theatre graduate program (and with an eye on my future financial situation), I decided to take a swing at the LSAT. I studied hard over a two-month period, and I took the LSAT Flex in June 2020.* *Since July, I have worked with over 20 LSAT students. With each,...

I love being able to help people, and the satisfaction of helping students excel in their studies provides me the incentive...

...topic they study ,I hope to be able to find at least one part of each subject that students can personally connect to. Most importantly, if I can impart one thing to my students, it is self-confidence. Performing poorly in one subject can have a deleterious affect on other aspects of academic life and I firmly believe that confidence is half the battle. I love seeing a student's face when they realize they understand a...
