...that these important tests can be stressful experiences for many people, so I also work with students to develop strategies to overcome any anxiety that might get in the way of a student not demonstrating his or her full potential. I enjoy tutoring a variety of subjects, but I find it especially rewarding to guide students in taking ownership over their writing as they find greater self-expression and explore complex ideas with more depth and...

...Physics. I have experience tutoring students in a variety of areas, but I am most passionate about STEM subjects, namely Physics and Mathematics. I believe that while students find these subjects interesting, many students are not in the correct mindset to properly grasp certain concepts.

In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, learning guitar, learning new...

...at Columbia University and I am now a playwriting MFA at NYU, one of the best programs in the country (the story of how I transitioned from physics to theater is pretty funny and I???m happy to share it).

As a playwright, I have learned to explain ideas efficiently,...

It also helps if you can make the subject matter as interesting as...

...Chinese from Williams College. I am a very reliable and dedicated tutor. I will work hard and efficiently to help you improve your test scores, studying habits, and grades. My teaching philosophy is very much similar to a lot of my science professors. "Do practice questions. Do practice questions. Do some more practice questions!" Since I like to have concepts simplified and broken down for me, I will do the same for my students.

...attitude. My approach to teaching is based on positive reinforcement, encouragement, and the belief that every wrong answer simply brings us one step closer to finding the right one. Though I tutor many subjects, I find SAT preparation to be particularly rewarding. Everyone has a dream school, and there is nothing better than turning a dream into an acceptance letter! In my spare time, I love cooking, eating, reading, listening to all types of music...

...I believe strongly that a student should be guided through problems rather than simply told whether they are right or wrong (that's what an answer key is for!). A tutor should provide feedback on their thought processes as well as follow through all possible choices when given options such as multiple choice. This way, students can learn to identify the right answer. My age gives me an advantage in that I have been in the...

...In my first two years of college, I was a tutor at America Reads/America Counts, which is a federally-funded work study program to assist students in underprivileged schools.

I hope I can help as many students as I can through Varsity Tutors-- I strive to spread...

This requires a flexible tutor to adapt to each students individual needs. Asking questions is an integral part of the learning process and my approachable nature allows students to...
