...a new concept or finally get something they've been struggling with. When they finally get something, a new path opens to them and a new possibility appears. In my tutoring, the basics are emphasized. The basics are the foundation to understanding bigger and more complicated concepts. Without them, learning becomes a struggle. With them, it can be fun and easy. And when something is fun, students want to do more. It no longer is a...

...power to bring this about, including languages, mathematics, and (of course) philosophy. All of these areas stretch from an elementary to an advanced level, and I consider it of cardinal importance to equally value the successful communication both of elementary topics, such as algebra 1 or German word order, and complex ones, such as deontological critiques of utilitarian ethics. By valuing all levels of difficulty, I am able to give students a firm foundation, with...

...not all students learn in the same way. Some students may learn best by completing ten practice problems while others need pictures and visuals, teachers need to have a solid foundation in their subject area so they can modify their instruction to the needs of the student.

...Economics. I'm currently a Master's student at Columbia University studying Actuarial Science.

...are universally excellent, and reflect my ability to motivate students, clearly structure lessons, and make very complex material understandable. I have taught college-level statistics many times, and have done graduate-level statistics as part of my research. SPSS is no problem. Name a field of psychology: I've probably taught it, and can tutor it. These would include developmental, neurobiological, personality, clinical, and cognitive. Most people need to learn two things about writing: how to make it...

...not on the completion of a short-term task, like a specific assignment or test; rather, my goal is always to use the task at hand to help the student become a better reader, writer, learner, and thinker. Above all, I aim to teach the student to teach themselves; the ultimate accomplishment for me as a tutor is to no longer be needed. When I'm not teaching or doing research, I like to write stories, read...

...change in differing contexts, for example how people define what counts as a lie, and how our brains process emojis. At the University of Illinois, I've taught several linguistics courses, including the popular Linguistics 100 introductory course. I spent a semester abroad in Sevilla, Spain during my undergraduate studies and that remains one of the best experiences of my life. I have experience tutoring in several subjects though anything language-related is nearest to my heart....

For each student, I create a unique study plan to attack specific areas of...

...being a living wikipedia article. It's giving life to the dry and soulless problem set, making fun of the trap answers on the LSAT, and linking history to its greatest stories. I don't need gimmicks and games to make that happen. I just find where a student and I can connect over the material, how they learn, and what they're having trouble with. I won't guarantee anyone a score on a test or promise that...
