“My teaching philosophy can best be summarized in this quote by Benjamin Franklin, ‘Tell me and I forget. Teach me, and I remember. Involve me, and I learn,’” says Bunmi O., who has over 10 years of teaching experience.

“I believe every student learns differently, and my goal is to create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and growing,” Abimbola O. says. “I focus on building both knowledge and confidence because I believe students are more successful when they believe in their own abilities.”

"I am a passionate educator, and I enjoy helping others and creating fun learning," says Darya O., who has been an educator since 1999.

Mitch O. is a project manager who treats each student’s testing goals as a challenge that he and the student can solve together. He says, “When we work together effectively, every student goes into the test armed with knowledge and confidence.”

"My teaching style centers around understanding student needs and breaking down each part of the content to ensure maximum understanding," says Lydia O., who has taught and tutored students since 2010.

"I've seen how much knowledge and understanding can empower students, giving them confidence in themselves to become people who make valuable contributions to the world," says tutor Alexandra (Alex) O. Alex describes herself as a "fun-loving, active person who loves to engage with people--passionate about learning, being outside, and being active in my community."

"I focus on placing students at the core of their learning by emphasizing their needs, interests, and learning styles, transforming them from passive recipients to active participants in their education," says Kimberly O. Kimberly has been working with students of varying needs and skill levels since 2001.

“My teaching style is structured yet adaptable, individualized, and collaborative,” says mom and tutor Jessica N. “While I think it’s important for teaching to challenge the learner to get the best results, it doesn’t need to create a stressful atmosphere that can cause students to shut down.”

“We grow so much in college and build the grounding on which we’ll later stand. It's important to choose a place that cultivates the roots of who you become in the future,” Divya N. says. A writing tutor and admission consultant, Divya loves getting to know her students through the application process.
