...College Chicago; after exploring many fields of interest (writing, linguistics, computer science, and more), I completed a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Fashion Design graduating Cum Laude. As a tutor, I work to completely engage with a student's learning process and try to see the subject through their eyes. I stress conceptual understanding over formula memorization, but I'm also realistic about the demands of standardized testing and teach testing strategy as well as material....

...and writing (I have a thing for grammar), but I also get a big kick out of math and science, especially biology. I make humor a part of everything I do, and I am adept at tailoring my tutoring strategies to fit each student's needs.

...why mosquitoes are attracted to some people and not others. Continuously asking questions is a major component of research, and I encourage the students I tutor to not just memorize content, but ask questions until they really understand what they are learning. When working through concepts, problems, and test-taking strategies, I make sure my students ask questions until they know why they are solving a problem a certain way or how a specific concept fits...

...My style in the classroom is very similar to my tutoring style. I listen, I observe, I plan accordingly. I have been able to work with students who previously had not a clue as to a specific concept and have had them walk away feeling confident about it, no longer fearing the subject when it has been brought up. While I specialize in math, I can be of great help to anybody needing help with...

...students because I love to see students become actively engaged in their thinking. I believe that the classroom is a great place to practice collaboration, social skills and metacognition while inviting students to advocate for themselves. One of my favorite quotes is "if a student can't learn the way we teach, maybe we should teach the way they learn" by Ignacio Estrada. This statement holds true to the fact that all students can learn. We...

While an undergraduate at Columbia University, I taught SAT prep courses. I will be going to law school in the fall, and until then I am continuing my passion for teaching with Varsity Tutors! My tutoring style has always been to fit the lesson to the student. Whether you're studying...

...aged students with special needs in all subject areas. My strongest subject is Mathematics and I also believe in the development of good study habits in all areas, thus I feel that students still need to be taught what is good studying, how to stay organized and focus on a study plan for success. Once a struggling shy student myself, I can be relatable and understanding on the obstacles of what's keeping a student from...

...analyzing data from my doctorate research study conducted on teacher learning communities in an online learning environment. Needless to say, data plays a very big part of being able to maximize teaching and enrichment of content. By using informal and formal screeners along with pre assessments - I will always have a map of where to take any tutoring session. Having an academic and practical elementary/middle school application understanding of data definitely enforces corrective instruction,...

My endeavors, domestic and abroad, have taught me to identify how a student best learns and help them approach conceptual roadblocks with creativity.

I want to bring the same energy to not only improve...

The students were all high school students in China, and I absolutely loved the...

...ages! I love relating academics to the real world. Not only can math be exciting (who doesn't love fractions?!), but I know from personal experience that math is absolutely necessary if you want to learn how to budget your money so that you can live in your own apartment or travel across Europe for three months. My goal as a tutor is to not only teach my students the skills they need for a particular...
