MIT Undergraduate Specializing in SAT and AP Tutoring
Hello! My name is Cat, and I am a sophomore at MIT majoring in brain and cognitive sciences. I am extremely fond of aiding others in comprehending a multitude of topic. Thus, I have engaged in numerous teaching opportunities. These opportunities include being a TA for two MIT undergraduate courses and as a teacher in biology and chemistry in an MIT international teaching program in Germany. --AP Experience-- I possess experience tutoring topics including AP Calculus AB, AP Biology, AP Chemistry, AP U.S. Government, AP U.S. History, AP World History, AP Literature and Composition, and AP Language and Composition. --SAT Experience-- I have extensively studied strategies regarding how to approach SAT style mathematics and reading/writing questions and ultimately received a 770 on both of the aforementioned sections on the SAT. Thus, provided this experience, I am confident that I will be able to provide and explain the exercises necessary for any student to improve their score. My lessons will be divided by subject and components, with exercises and real SAT practice problems that aid in further understanding and solidifying approaches to different questions. The aforementioned preparation will include a personalized SAT schedule that I formulate to accommodate the needs of each individual student. Via the given method, I have aided one individual in improving their score by over 300 points throughout the duration of a singular month. I intend to not merely critique the technical errors of a given student's essay, but rather to provide insight upon the diction and style of the writing. I will thoroughly explain and discuss various aspects of a given essay with the student, providing constructive criticism to aid in the development of their writing. --Free Video Consultation-- I am happy to answer any questions that you may possess regarding my teaching strategy, profile, etc. over a free of charge 15-minute video consultation!

Extensive experience at all grade levels
Extensive experience in all grade levels, college and in an after school middle school library setting daily. Past students have described my skills and presentation style as approachable, especially by an ability to frame subjects in the vein of popular culture, making nearly any topic digestible even if once an impenetrable fog. I also strive to address the fundamentals of education via rejection of rote memorization, instead showing students how information personally can have meaning to them, thus making retention all the more easier.
