Even the most bizarre or inspired art - so I attest - comes from the negotiation and change of this substance of our minds, and there is real joy in that!... Teaching is...

...for the University Writing Center. Working with students one-on-one, informed by faculty guidance and frequent workshops, I developed a tutoring style that focuses on collaboration and flexibility. No matter the subject, I believe that we learn best when we discover for ourselves, and forget when we are lectured. I spend my spare time reading, writing, talking, listening, and trying to stay active, so that I can read, write, talk, and listen more.

...reading, playing and watching basketball (Go Bulls!), enjoying funny television shows (Louie is my favorite), and playing music (guitar & piano).

In tutoring, my motto is "teach a student to fish and they possess improved test-taking skills for a lifetime." Specializing in ACT/SAT...

...school students, and when I see that spark of awareness that some of us get from reading great books, it makes up for all the swings and misses on students who just want to get the grade and get out the door.

...comfortable teaching are: SAT Math, Algebra I or II, Trigonometry, Geometry, Pre-Calculus, Calculus I, II, or III, Differential Equations, Chemistry, Physics. When I say that I feel most comfortable teaching these subjects, all that means is that I have the most experience teaching these topics. That is not to say that I cannot and don't want to tutor in other subjects. My experience in teaching and tutoring stems from even before I was a math...

...freshmen, they usually are able to grasp the "grammar rules" of a linear algebra problem before I proceed to formally state the theorem to be applied. While I continue today with my research work on probability models and my full-time college teaching, I enjoy guiding high school or older students, and middle school students beyond their grade level, through most mathematical subjects, statistics, management, and test prep. Now a long time New Yorker, I also...

In two consecutive summers, I was the math teacher and tutor for the Upward Bound High School summer camp which gave me priceless knowledge and experience on what the high school students are interested in learning and what their strength and limitations are, thus I can address their questions and concerns accordingly. From 2012 to present, I have been a GRE...

...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 students...

In my free time, I enjoy playing music (piano, guitar bass), as well as reading poetry and watching films.... To help students...

...and emotional learning. Collaborating with other counselors was essential in in creating effective behavior regulation strategies and lesson plans. PATHS provides an open and supportive environment for children in order to foster healthy problem solving and general life skills. In order to bolster my application to graduate school, I took Kaplan's GRE prep course and enrolled in several PhD level courses at the University of Rochester, including Intro to Clinical Research Methods, Child Development and...

...me experience helping students prepare for standardized tests of all kinds--and I know how students feel, because I recently took the GRE. I love to teach and I love to learn--and I want all my students to feel the same way. When students have a good time learning, they learn better and achieve more.
