Tutoring has typically been long-term, with a couple of short-term or one-off students. I tutored students between the ages of 11 to 16 years old, primarily with Mathematics, but also with English, Physics, and basic Chemistry. During this time, my experience teaching Mathematics has been in...

...to grasp the "grammar rules" of a linear algebra problem before I proceed to formally state the theorem to be applied. While I continue today with my research work on probability models and my full-time college teaching, I enjoy guiding high school or older students, and middle school students beyond their grade level, through most mathematical subjects, statistics, management, and test prep. Now a long time New Yorker, I also enjoy the city by bike...

I tutor the SATs, ACTs, LSAT, GRE, basically all high school subjects, and a bevy of college ones, including history, psychology, economics, law, and writing.

...people: "Hey, mon nom est lapin qui mange des carottes! (Hi, my name is Lapin who eats carrots!). I am a funny girl who thinks that you learn a lot better when you are having fun.

My passion was especially apparent when I worked at Summer Enrichment Academy: Empowering...

...a few graduate. I know what it feels like when someone is having difficulty in a particular subject, they often get frustrated, angry, exhausted, and stressed after working on problem sets in physics and/or mathematics for an excessive amount of time and still cannot find a reasonable solution to solve the problem. There are also times when students are unable to start. My job as a tutor is to ensure that they can fully overcome...

My tutoring style is very student oriented with some lecturing. I make sure that most...

...find that students struggle with the core foundations, so when classes start to add on more complex theories or work, they get flustered. I want to ensure that the students are comfortable enough with the fundamentals, so they can apply these topics in more rigorous classes and succeed in the future. During the summer or the free time aside from school, I love to hang out with my friends and go on spontaneous adventures, watch/play...

...errors and content of any subject, and help write lab reports. I am comfortable tutoring students of any age and at any speed. I can go as slow as the student needs to, and I excel at teaching through explanations of why to help give a solid understanding of the topic rather than just feeding information to memorize.

I really like helping people understand math and fall in love with it like I did. Whenever I was studying math, there was always an "Aha!" moment when something makes sense and clicks. I really like seeing that moment in my students eyes especially when they realize how cool math can be.

I'm a Harvard graduate applying to graduate schools. I've worked in tech, consulting and academia. I've tutored grades 5-12 for 5+ years. My most recent student went from failing 10th grade geometry to getting perfect scores on her exams. I think it's very important not only to understand the material, but to know how to study. I'm enthusiastic about sharing the learning techniques I've developed with others.

I set high expectations for my personal academic achievements and expect the same...
