...high school career, test-taking always seemed to be a challenge. I pushed to get the best scores I could, but something was wrong. I had a lack of direction. I needed a mentor. When I had my first mentor, I wasn't sure he would be the right one. We worked together for some time, but some of his characteristics were not compatible with my liking. After about two more mentors, I finally selected an intelligent,...

...tests. I thought to myself, 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 studies enjoyable. I love to use visual and real world examples to help you grasp...

...creative seminar at camp with a small co-ed group of young students, and the poems and thoughts some of those children came up with were simultaneously moving, insightful, wacky, and hilarious in a way that the best adult writers could only hope for. The best part of it all was that it was the writers themselves, not me, who insisted we get up on stage and act out their words for the small audience. There...

I work and live in New York City. I grew up in Knoxville, TN and went to the University of Pittsburgh, where I studied economics and political science.

...tests. I am currently preparing to take the LSAT, so I am in the test taking mindset myself and am excited to help students preparing for the SAT/ACT this summer/fall.

I am a strong believer in the notion that standardized test...

...because I believe that with enough practice and some solid test-taking strategies, anyone can master these. As a former Division I runner, I've learned the importance of persistence and hard work, and I love sharing these values with my students and helping them to make significant gains.

...As a tutor, I try to transmit that passion to my students. I believe that a language cannot truly be understood without also understanding the culture from which it originated, and vice versa. I also believe that students will be more inclined to learn and practice a language if they are captivated by its culture. I am particularly fascinated by society, history, cuisine, music, and cinema. I try to integrate these subjects into my teaching...
