I have been a tutor with Levitate for a year, and I have extensive tutoring experience beyond that. I work with a variety of age groups, primarily in middle through high school across various subjects. I also volunteer at my university as a tutor for upper division biology courses, and work closely with professors in my department to offer supplemental instruction. I was a Humanities TA for a ninth grade course, and I also have experience teaching biology in test-preparation settings. I have worked with on-level, honors, and AP students to achieve their academic goals. My lessons tend to be interactive and feature active learning and problem-solving heavily, as opposed to a more passive lecture style.

While I understand that different students learn through different methods and speeds, I am a firm believer that consistent practice and interactive study is the best way to internalize concepts for future application. Throughout lessons, while I will lecture if needed, I prefer to work through problem sets, ask questions, and clarify understanding through practice rather than memorization. By this methodology, students are able to think on their feet when approached with an unforeseen problem or difficult concept. I think that one to one tutoring is a great opportunity to see difficult subjects in a new light, and ultimately, I aim to enrich curiosity and passion for learning in any student I teach.
