Having worked a paid summer internship at Capstone Prep Education Center teaching public speaking and debate to children of all ages, I am adequately equipped with skills to excel as a tutor. I also have obtained scores of 5 in AP Biology, AP World History, Microeconomics, Macroeconomics, Statistics, English Language and Composition, and Chinese, as well as an SAT score of 1540. I am currently studying for AP Calculus BC, Chemistry, and US History.

Having spent years in public speech and debate, I have learned that breaking an idea down to its simplest terms with multiple viewpoints is the most effective way to convey a message. Looking at something from one angle sometimes doesn't allow complete concept comprehension. Because of this, my go-to teaching style is coming up with many ways of explaining the same thing to maximize the chance of grasping an idea. Having multiple ways to view one topic opens the mind to a deeper understanding and a complete enrichment in learning. To promote this, I let the students do the thinking while prompting them in the right direction when needed. I adapt to how students think and fit my teaching style with their pace and problem-solving conventions. I tailor-make every lesson for every student. Ultimately, it is my goal to encourage my students to make a habit out of approaching problems through multiple, and perhaps even unconventional, methods to always keep trying new things.
