I am an aspiring applied mathematician, with particular interest in image processing and climate science. I graduated in May 2017 from Washington University in St. Louis with a bachelor's in physics and mathematics, and am beginning a PhD program in September 2017 at the University of Chicago in Computational and Applied Mathematics. I've tutored introductory physics students for three years and enjoyed it thoroughly, as a chance to help other students while revisiting fundamental concepts to enhance my own knowledge. I'm eager to continue reaching out and helping students of math and physics to succeed and, furthermore, to appreciate the beauty and power of these subjects.

I am a graduate of McGill University (BA First Class Honors) and the University of Edinburgh (MSc First Class Honors with Distinction) with over eight years of tutoring experience. I am currently a curriculum developer for a company which creates relatable and culturally-literate courses for middle and high-schools, and am particularly adept at communicating and explaining concepts in a quirky, engaging, and intelligent manner. I was named Scotland International Young Thinker of the Year 2014 for exactly that sort of work. Much of my tutoring background is in test-prep and essay coaching, which I enjoy because it allows the tutor and student to think strategically together, and work as a team to achieve concrete results. I have worked with students ranging in age from 6-32, and believe that, in an educational context, a few jokes never hurt anybody. I love reading and learning, and my educational approach is centered around making the material just as engaging to students as it is to me. I think J.K. Rowlings, the writer of Harry Potter, is just as brilliant as Stephen Hawking, and in my free time, I manage my (terrible) fantasy baseball team, write songs for my comedy band, and crack jokes about terrible science-fiction movies with my friends.

I am currently attending Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Computer Science and Applied Math and Statistics. I love helping students and I love the feeling I get knowing that I was able to use my knowledge to make someone else happier. My favorite subject to teach is math because there are so many ways to learn it and if one way does not help I can use another. I used to teach taekwondo and interacted with all kinds of students, and I'm excited to help out more! Hobbies: books, reading, music, writing, art

I am excited to be home and help fellow straphangers on their educational paths! My largest wealth of tutoring experience is in foreign languages--particularly French--but I also feel very comfortable editing essays of any kind and working through standardized test concepts. My availability is extremely flexible, and anywhere in New York City works for me. I look forward to working with you.

AP Calculus AB Tutor • +40 Subjects
I am currently a senior at Harvard College where I study chemistry, and I'll be attending Columbia Medical School next year. I have years of experience tutoring college students in math (mostly calculus) and chemistry including both general and organic chemistry. In addition, I am very familiar with all sections of the SAT and ACT having prepared several high school students for these tests. I believe that every student is capable of boosting his or her baseline score on these tests, so long as he or she works hard to get to know the format of the tests and the most popular types of questions. I tutor because I love seeing students develop a genuine passion for the subjects they once disliked (such as math and science), once they understand the power of these subjects and their applications to the real world.

Pre-Algebra Tutor • +51 Subjects
I am exploring my creativity by pursuing a double major in Asian Languages and Cultures with a focus in Korean, studying abroad in South Korea as a Benjamin A. Gilman Scholar, leading workshops that teach 3D printing and CAD for undergraduate students as the president of 3D4E, advocating for the first-generation and low-income student community as the Outreach Chair of the Quest+ Scholars Network, and getting involved with the Society of Women Engineers' outreach committee. I currently hold a work-study position as an administrative clerical aide in the Institute of Sustainability and Energy at Northwestern and was an undergraduate researcher in the John Rogers Lab. As I look forward with aspirations of applying to graduate school, areas of research in biomedical engineering and biotechnology that I am particularly interested in include biomaterials, pharmaceuticals, and drug delivery systems. Outside of the classroom, I enjoy learning on my own and sharing my experience and knowledge with my peers and other students. I hope to make use of my experiences with academics and learning in high school and so far in my undergraduate career in order to effectively tutor students who may be experiencing the same struggles in learning that I also experienced.

I am a graduate of the University of Chicago where I received my Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy. Currently, I am in the master's program at the University of New Mexico where I am continuing my education in philosophy. Ultimately, I hope to go on to earn a PhD in Philosophy so that I can continue engaging in my passions for learning and teaching. While in school, I have spent countless hours coaching high school speech and debate both in person and working online with students across the country. My focus in coaching has been to emphasize philosophy and critical thought to prepare students to think through novel arguments on their own. I am passionate about teaching and tutoring because I love seeing students learn to be intellectually independent and think through problems on their own terms by developing their critical thinking skills. I have devoted my life to education because I am passionate about it, and I try to share some of my passion for learning with the students I work with. I tutor all sorts of Standardized Tests, and I particularly enjoy working on logic-based problems like analogies and math sections. When I am not tutoring or reading for school, I enjoy strategy games (both board games and video games), listening to music, hiking, playing basketball, and just relaxing with friends.

Frequently Asked Questions
Students preparing for the Florida Bar Exam most commonly struggle with Florida-specific civil procedure rules, which differ significantly from the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure tested on the MBE. The essay portion—which comprises 50% of the exam—presents particular difficulty because it requires synthesizing multiple Florida statutes and case law under time pressure. Additionally, many test-takers underestimate the complexity of Florida contract law nuances and the state's unique approach to property issues, particularly regarding homestead rights and condominium law. Personalized tutoring helps identify which specific Florida doctrines are causing confusion and provides targeted practice with actual Florida Bar essay questions.
The MBE (200 questions, 50% of score) tests general common law and federal procedure, so preparation mirrors standard bar review with practice questions and timed drills. The Florida essay portion (50% of score) demands deep knowledge of Florida-specific statutes, case law, and procedural rules that don't appear on the MBE—requiring a different study strategy focused on Florida Statutes, case precedent, and practice with actual Florida Bar essays. A tutor experienced with Florida Bar Exam can help you allocate study time efficiently, ensuring you master general bar concepts while also building the state-specific knowledge that distinguishes strong Florida Bar performers. Many students benefit from shifting their focus in the final weeks toward essay-writing strategy and Florida-specific issue spotting.
An effective Florida Bar Exam tutor should be licensed to practice law in Florida and have recent, direct experience with the Florida Bar Exam—either having taken it themselves or having tutored multiple successful candidates. They should demonstrate deep familiarity with Florida Statutes, recent Florida Supreme Court decisions, and the specific format and scoring rubric of Florida Bar essays. Look for tutors who can explain not just the law, but the *Florida* law—understanding how the state's approach to issues like civil procedure, property, and contracts diverges from common law and federal standards. Tutors with experience teaching bar review courses or who have worked with high-volume bar prep programs bring valuable insight into which topics are tested most heavily and what mistakes cost the most points.
Florida Bar essays reward precise rule statements grounded in Florida law, thorough fact analysis, and clear conclusions—skills that improve dramatically with targeted feedback. A tutor can review your practice essays, identify whether you're missing Florida-specific rules, spot-checking your analysis against the official grading rubric, and help you develop a consistent organizational framework that works under exam time pressure. Many students benefit from learning how to quickly identify which Florida statutes apply to a given fact pattern, then structuring their answer to demonstrate mastery of those specific rules. Tutors can also help you manage the psychological challenge of the essay portion—building confidence through repeated practice with actual prior Florida Bar essays so you develop pattern recognition for common issue clusters.
Most bar candidates benefit from 8-12 weeks of structured preparation, with tutoring typically beginning 6-8 weeks before the exam date to allow time for foundational bar review before diving deep into Florida-specific content. The intensity varies based on your starting point—someone who struggled with contracts or civil procedure during law school may need earlier intervention, while others focus tutoring on the final 4-6 weeks to refine essay technique and tackle Florida-specific gaps. A tutor can assess your baseline knowledge through practice MBE sections and sample essays, then create a personalized study plan that allocates time based on your weak areas rather than a one-size-fits-all schedule. Consistent weekly sessions (typically 2-3 hours) combined with independent practice between sessions yields the strongest results.
Students working with tutors typically see MBE score improvements of 10-15 percentage points over 8-12 weeks of focused preparation, though gains depend on starting performance and study consistency. For essays, improvement is measured by rubric alignment—moving from incomplete rule statements and missed issues to comprehensive analysis that demonstrates mastery of Florida law, which directly translates to higher scaled scores. The Florida Bar Exam is scored on a 1600-point scale (MBE: 400 points, essays: 1200 points), and the passing score is typically around 1150-1200 depending on the exam administration. Tutors help you identify the specific point gaps holding you back—whether it's MBE speed, essay organization, or Florida-specific knowledge—and target those areas for measurable progress toward the passing threshold.
Yes—in fact, students retaking the Florida Bar Exam often see the fastest improvement because they have concrete data about which topics cost them points. A tutor can analyze your prior exam performance (if you received a score breakdown), identify patterns in the types of questions you missed, and focus intensively on those areas rather than re-studying material you've already mastered. If you struggled with Florida-specific essays, a tutor can provide targeted feedback on your essay structure and help you internalize the state law nuances you may have glossed over in your first attempt. Retake candidates often benefit from fewer, more focused tutoring sessions (4-6 weeks) concentrated on identified weak areas, combined with aggressive practice testing and essay writing.
Bar review courses provide broad coverage of all tested subjects and MBE practice, but they're designed for large cohorts and can't address individual knowledge gaps or Florida-specific struggles. Tutoring fills that gap by providing personalized diagnosis of which topics you need deeper work, one-on-one feedback on your essay writing, and targeted drilling on your weak areas rather than generic practice. Many students use bar review as their foundation (lectures, outlines, general MBE practice) and add tutoring in weeks 4-8 when they've identified specific problem areas—whether that's Florida civil procedure, essay organization, or time management. Tutors can also help you navigate the overwhelming volume of bar review materials, advising which practice questions and resources will yield the highest return on your study time.
