I really pride myself in personalizing my tutoring. I try to never have more than 6-7 students at a time so that I can provide the best possible personalization of teaching to each student. Additionally, being at a similar age to many of my students helps me relate to them a lot better than some older tutors may be able to; I have more recent experience with taking the same courses/tests as them or applying to colleges like them, and this helps a lot in my tutoring personalization. In terms of my teaching style, I love being able to connect with students beyond the structured environment of most classrooms and tutoring/prep academies. I try to provide my students with just enough structure so that they know how to study, how to test, etc., but enough autonomy so that they can learn how to succeed on their own. Helping students navigate this fine line is really meaningful, as many

I am an 18 year old high school graduate, looking to help students enhance their learning experience and apply themselves to the best of their capabilities. I do not have prior experience, however, I hope that this summer I will be able to help students and gain more experience through it. I am outgoing, approachable, and I love to work with kids. I hope that in providing students with the necessary tools to learn, they will be more inclined to build a strong academic foundation for their future. I will specialize in tutoring English because it has always been one of my strongest subjects, and one I am most passionate about. I hope that I will find the opportunity to build confidence in my students and motivate them to expand their horizons and explore their strengths. I have always loved working with kids and I, myself, as an elementary student was tutored throughout the years. My t

For math, I would explain the mechanics and techniques of how to get the answer. I want to make sure the student understands fully so I would also be asking the student questions just to ensure he or she knows the material well. For English, I would focus on practicing and discussion. Since it is a langauge, I focus more on practicality. I would also talk to the student and discuss whatever he is having trouble with so that I can give him or her tips to improve. I have usually insisted in helping people who have struggled in English and Math. I would do my best to explain the material until the student would have a solid understanding of the material. I have helped so many international students in English. As for math, I would insist on helping friends and anyone who is wishing to need help.
