"I completed a degree in Physics from Yale University, and offer a number of years of experience as a teacher and tutor. I am also a freelance writer and consider myself as capable in the humanities (reading and writing skills) as in math and science.

For the past four years, I've worked with one of the leading in-home tutoring groups in the area, helping students prepare for the SAT, ACT, SSAT, as well as various subject and Advanced Placement tests. I also worked regularly with students as an academic and writing tutor.

I feel my key strengths are my ability to clarify difficult concepts in an articulate manner, my ability to engage and motivate students, and my ability to instill confidence by developing academic and test strategies that are optimum for an individual student.

Another way I work with students is as a ski coach. What I love about tutoring is similar to what I love about coaching--helping students improve their performance." less...
