...why was this happening? Students have so much pressure to perform well on standardized tests. We cram with flashcards, pull all nighters, and even sacrifice our social time to prove to the world that we retained what we learned that year. But are we *actually* learning? My goal as a tutor is to make your...

...My own experience as test-taker and test-teacher has convinced me that as a tool for evaluating students, standardized testing has its share of flaws.

...it is the duty of those of us who have been graced with the advantages of a good education to give back in some way; one of my motivations for tutoring is to do my part in that way. In my free time, I love playing piano, running, riding my bike, and learning languages. My...

...My most recent gigs have been hourly / independent contractor / free-lance, which I haven't put on my resume. I've been tutoring, mostly for the Hamden (CT) school district as a three-quarters-time job but also occasionally for some local agencies. And I've been developing materials for several publishers of math textbooks and web-sites....

...subjects ranging from arithmetic to Algebra 2. I have experience tutoring children with ADHD and adults preparing for the ASVAB and have learned through these experiences that dynamic teaching is a marathon, not a sprint.
