...rubs off on the students I work with so that they might become lifelong learners themselves. I would describe my teaching style as "supportive independence" since I believe strongly that students will struggle to learn if they don't feel supported but will never become self-sufficient learners without a teacher guiding them to independence. I typically start a tutoring relationship by building a layer of trust, communication, and support and then gradually move towards independence as...

...specialty when it comes to teaching or tutoring, but I have also been trained in techniques for tutoring all subjects included in standardized tests, especially the SAT. My tutoring style comes from my firm belief that a student will grow when they genuinely have their interest piqued, and the best way to do that is for their instructor to genuinely show passion and interest in the subject in order to pass that excitement on to...

...bit of one-on-one work with students. Even though I was known for guiding my students to good results on the AP and IB physics tests, that wasn't what mattered most to me.

Test scores come and go, but attitude and enthusiasm are forever.
