Experience
I love teaching, and my students range from K-8 all the way to post- graduates looking for help with resumes and essays. I've taught a class at the School at Columbia University on the SSAT/SHSAT/ISEE tests. I've also taught SAT prep at The United Nations School (UNIS) and the High School for Leadership and Public Service. I am teaching another SHSAT class this fall and an ELA class this fall and spring at a public school on the UWS. Between college and grad school, I wrote a study guide to how to read a Russian author, which is still in print. If you are interested I can show you a copy (I promise, you won't have to read it!). It is a book geared to college and grad students, but it shows both critical thinking on the topic and methods to increase reading comprehension on the seemingly complex short stories of an author, all while making the reading accessible to a wider audience. While in business school, I was asked to be a lead teaching assistant in organization behavior. In this role, I helped design the course, and also graded essays and worked with students. This is a sampling of the relevant experience I bring to the task at hand. I have taken and excelled in ERBs, SATs and SAT II subject tests, LSATs, and GMATs. In terms of my tutorees, I can work with them on school homework and/or design a reading comprehension and writing program using books that are age appropriate but pleasing to them. I can supplement with short exercises and drills to reinforce this work. Basically, I aim to engage and instill a love of reading, which will hopefully be for life(!), while also improving their skills in reading and writing. I am also a master of helping develop organizational skills. I am a master tutor of ELA and NY State Math. In terms of older students, I am an excellent editor of college essays and general skills in the reading and writing area at the high school level. I also teach subjects in Law and Business Law.
