Experience
Throughout my teaching career, I have had the opportunity to look at a variety of educational systems from many angles. One thing that I have learned is that whichever way you look at it, all students suffer when they don't receive individualized, one-on-one instruction. My experience with tutoring stretches back to my days as a high school student, when I worked during the summer at an enrichment program tutoring students from the third to eighth grades. During this time, I specialized in teaching Mathematics, and also helped to prepare students for various standardized tests. I now hold a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with concentrations in youth, education, and associated inequities from Dartmouth College. During my time as a college student, I tutored students ranging from kindergartners to fifth graders in reading comprehension. I have spent the last nine years working as both a private tutor and as a general academic instructor. One of my more recent teaching endeavors was taking a strong leadership role in devising and implementing a tutoring program geared towards helping high school students from low-income families. My tutoring specialties are all levels of Mathematics and assisting students with standardized test preparation for the ISEE, HSPT, PSAT, SAT, and SSAT.
