Georgia Italic is a delicate font and takes inspiration from calligraphy. Use it to emphasize small sections of text in paragraphs.
Helvetica Light is an easy to read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

About
I chose tutoring over traditional classroom instruction because of the higher degree of freedom it allows me to tailor my lessons to individual students. The advantage of working in a one-on-one setting is that I can meet the student at his or her level of understanding and progress through the material in a logical way from that point. I believe in working at the student's pace and taking the time to fill gaps in foundational knowledge. It is critical that the student constructs understanding through his/her own reasoning. Therefore, I typically don't lecture; I don’t allow my students to be passive listeners.
What distinguishes me most from other tutors is that I have no lesson plans when working with students. I am trained as an inquiry-based teacher, which means, for each student, I create a progression of exercises that leads him/her along the path to understanding. Completing assignments and improving grades is obviously important, but I also place a high priority on developing my students’ ability and confidence in solving non-routine problems. While most beginning tutors are quick to demonstrate how much they know by doing the thinking for their students, I insist that my students complete assignments using their own critical thought. My mission is to provide the best possible tutoring service for my students, and ultimately to instill in them an appreciation of learning. I don't just help students. I train scholars.
Please take a moment to read my reviews to see how other students find my teaching style. My initial consultation is entirely free. This is an opportunity for all parties to determine whether the arrangement is a good fit. I look forward to working with you!

About
I have been tutoring Pre-medical students for the past 8 years. My goal is to make the complicated easy and understandable. I try to create a comfortable environment conducive for learning. Every tutoring session will consist of a comprehensive breakdown and discussion of the subject material followed by questions to assess students weak points. Subsequent sessions will also consist of a quick review on previous topics discussed before introducing new topics. Over the years, I have found that this method works exceptionally well with students.
I have found great success as a tutor because I know how to explain difficult concepts to struggling students. Because of the breadth of my knowledge and education, I can easily explain complex concepts in a number of different ways until I find the approach that works best for each student. I tailor my teaching method to each student based on their unique strengths, weaknesses, and learning style. I keep my tutoring sessions relaxed and stress-free, while still pushing my students to challenge themselves and reach new academic heights. I believe that each student is capable of so much more than they realize, and it is a thrill and a joy to help unlock their potential for success.
I also have experience helping students with college admissions essays as well as admissions counseling and preparations. My essays have helped me gain admission to Columbia, Yale, and Johns Hopkins.
For students with difficult schedules or that live far away, I am available for online tutoring as well as remote essay and project revisions. If you have any specific needs or requests, please contact me. I am flexible, and am always willing to work around what you or your child needs to reach your academic goals!

About
I have experience in all areas of college counseling. Having worked in undergraduate and graduate admission at various selective universities in New York City, I am familiar with what makes a successful application stand out to an admission committee and have intimate knowledge of the inner workings of admission offices. I also have extensive experience counseling PRE-MED students through their application process to highly selective and Ivy League institutions. Beginning with researching colleges to find the best fit, reviewing personal statements and resumes to convey individual strengths, assisting in financial aid applications and providing guidance and advocacy as they make their final decisions, I enjoy helping students from start to finish in this often complicated process.
I employ a student-centered approach to college counseling and first take steps to determine the student's preference and learning style and use my knowledge and expertise to guide the student towards the most appropriate options. I collaborate with parents and other family members to ensure that all involved are aware of the process and know what to expect at each turn.
In addition to general college counseling to help students identify colleges that fit, my services include, personal statments preparation, personal statement critique, resume review, interview preparation, scholarship referrals and supplemental recommendations.
