"I tutored in high school by teaching math to high school friends outside of class, where I helped those who were struggling with high school math, including Algebra, Geometry and Precalculus, by walking them through problems and helping them understand how to draw effective diagrams. I continued this work as a TA for three years in college, where I supervised students in introductory CS courses in the computer lab during evening hours.

I've tutored students of all ages studying for exams like the SAT, GRE and GED. I teach math ranging from pre-algebra through pre-calculus. I walk students through problems ranging from probability and combinations to sets of linear equations, and also provide them with helpful strategies to help them get the right answer. I know how to explain difficult concepts in ways that students can easily understand.

When I teach writing, I employ this framework:

1. Who is your audience? What is going to be important to them?

2. What is the purpose of the written piece? What do you want your audience to know about at the end? What do you need to tell them and what can you leave out?

3. What is the theme of the paragraph you’re writing? How does it support the overall document? What should people know after reading it?

4. What idea are you currently discussing? Does it fit the theme of the paragraph? If you take it out, will the paragraph be weaker?

5. Do the sentences tell a story that supports the idea? Are they even relevant? Can you communicate the same information in one sentence instead of two?

6. Do your grammar and word choice clearly communicate your intended meaning? Could someone easily misinterpret or be confused by what you’ve written?" less...
