Education

University of Minnesota B.S. Kinesiology 2013 GPA 3.47

Experience

• Approximately 6 years of one-on-one instruction in mathematics, English, and writing to K-12 students, some of whom had various learning disabilities such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and ADHD • Experience in tutoring biology, chemistry, and history to high school students • One year of cognitive training to directly improve the skills necessary for efficient learning • Fluent in English and Russian, proficient in Spanish • Composite ACT score of 31 I have been involved in education since the age of fourteen. Now, a decade later, I have worked with students of all ages and ability levels. Teaching comes naturally to me and I want to become the best I can be at the art of education. I believe in two key concepts as a tutor. First, I consider it vital to establish a common ground with my student so that we can relate to each other. Second, I believe that my job is not to give the student the answer, but to guide them to discovering it on their own. A student should learn how to think, not just what to think.
