Experience
I am currently pursuing my undergraduate degree in comparative religions with a minor in biology at Harvard University. I have previously tutored students in math and English in all grade and skill levels. I had the opportunity to study in Moldova during a U.S. State Department sponsored trip where I tutored native Russian speakers in English. I now offer tutoring for a variety of subjects, including algebra 1 & 2, elementary math, middle school math, English, biology, reading, writing, literature, essay editing, English grammar and syntax, comparative literature, pre-algebra, conversational Spanish, public speaking, Spanish 1-3, Russian, and languages. I also help students who are preparing for a standardized exam such as the PSAT or SAT. In my experience two of the most important skills a student can acquire are public speaking and organizational skills regardless of the core subject with which they are struggling. These both help contribute to a student's overall level of academic confidence and lead to easier advancement in all subject areas. However, I also know how different each student's learning style, challenges, and strengths are and these must ultimately be the focus of any tutoring session. I take the time to learn these things about my students so I can create the most effective tutoring sessions possible.
