Art, science... no matter what, don't forget technique.
I am an architect by trade, but architects are supposed to always be influenced by everything. From nature to art to science to sports, I have learned that keeping an open mind (and sometimes thinking too much) lets me be inspired at any moment and constantly grow. At the same time, I do not fall victim to whimsy--I value a strong work ethic and technique. In other words, working on HOW you do something is just as important as the end result. Looking back, my favorite teachers were those who... Read more

Experienced and passionate writing and speaking tutor
I have worked as a writing, reading, and speaking tutor, both independently and at my college's writing center, for the past five years. While working at the Mount Holyoke College writing center, I completed a semester-long course that not only taught tutoring methods, but also the pedagogical theories behind the methods. That course, and my subsequent three years of work at the writing center, has informed my current tutoring style. I am passionate about making students feel comfortable whi... Read more

SAT, ACT, ISEE/SSAT, GMAT, MUSIC THEORY +
I believe that true vocation stems from a unique perspective on real opportunity for change in the world. Life has continually exposed me to inequalities in the education system for both minorities and people with disabilities. The rigid nature of standardized education negatively affects students who don't succeed when exposed to conventional methods. I am committed to broadening the scope of academic measurement, and access to alternative education, to the end that full expression of one’s ... Read more

Specifically, I tutored students at the Writing Center, where I read over their papers and provided feedback and suggested revisions. I met with some students only once, and others continued to come to me with their papers, an... Read more

Karen
Skilled NYU-Trained Reading and Writing Tutor
In graduate school the classes came alive for me when the teachers gave individual feedback and showed enthusiasm for what they were teaching. They welcomed asking questions. Students need to know how to master a task to make learning a rewarding experience. That's how I teach my students. I have my masters from Bank St. College and graduate credits from Columbia University and City College. I've specialized in teaching reading/writing in K-5 as well as early literacy skills in pre-K. ... Read more
