"I have always been an avid book reader and math lover - I will be able to tutor in math, English, and physics.
When teaching I believe in keeping things simple and adding interesting tidbits so that the students will want to remember the lessons. I also strive to keep each student's best interests in mind and teach accordingly. My students would say that I am very easy to understand and learn from."

"I am a big fan of the KISS principle, and am a big fan of efficiency, not just in technologies, but in our understanding and use of them. Over time, that has made me an efficient mentor, able to explain and expand understanding of questions without creating overreaching or false simplifications. Over the years, I've held several mentoring roles - as a senior research student, a laboratory engineer in charge of actually training newcomers, and now as a senior design mentor - and while most of those I mentored are college freshmen and sophomores, the questions and curiosities I had met weren't always that much different from the ones I'd ...

"
I studied biomedical engineering for my first three years of college, so I have a very strong background in math and science. I also have a minor in math.
When I graduated from college, I was accepted into Teach For America, an organization dedicated to solving educational inequity in America. I taught as a 6th grade math and science teacher at Tijerina Elementary in Houston. I also taught 4th grade summer school at Bonham Elementary."

"During my graduate studies, I loved working as a chemistry TA at Rice and made the move to become an educator soon after. I have experience in tutoring all ages and backgrounds, so I’m not afraid to try new ways of explaining things. Pulling together things from different subjects to illustrate a topic is only half the fun. What I hear most often from my students is “I didn’t know that had anything to do with this subject!” That being said, my background in both liberal arts and sciences have allowed me to tutor from 6th grade math up to university calculus, physics and chemistry, as well as Spanish, writing, test prep, and my personal favorite - ...

"Nothing beats the feeling of discovering something you didn't know before or accomplishing what you thought was impossible. I believe in giving students the tools to feel empowered--whether it's starting an essay from scratch or simply reviewing vocabulary to give a student that extra boost of self-confidence. I am happy to help in any way I can!."

"My primary goal is to nurture a sense of accomplishment and pride in the student, so that they may eventually find themselves engrossed in their studies with little to no need for a tutor. In essence, I try to impart my own passion for learning on the student. Of course the strategy varies with each student: perhaps an athlete student would be better driven by competition, while an artsy child may enjoy discovering that mathematics can really be looked at like a beautiful foreign language. Outside of math and science, I do also speak/write in German and Spanish and enjoy tutoring in either of those subjects. I grew up surrounded by Spanish and ...

" However, my interest in studying the natural world has caused me to suffer through more math classes than I care to count. As a result, I am well-equipped to help 'math-shy' students understand, appreciate, and flourish in a subject that they may have previously disliked. I believe in forging a relationship between the student and the subject matter with the idea being able to answer the question "when will I ever need to know this?" is the first step to understanding. Currently, I live in Houston with my bride, Nathalie, and our great big black lab, affectionately know as "The Bear". I love being out-of-doors in any capacity and am an avid ...

" However, I think that my experience in two vastly different fields is a positive because it makes me better able to tutor a wide variety of subjects. In my free time, I love reading, cooking (I’m currently working on the perfect chocolate soufflé), yoga, and traveling (Costa Rica and Amsterdam are the plan for this summer). I have been tutoring since 2002 and my experience encompasses a wide range of clients, from middle-school students to college students. In addition to tutoring subjects ranging from Pre-Algebra to World History and Biostatistics (just to name a few), for the past 1.5 years, I have been organizing and conducting weekly ...

"The subjects I tutored ranged from college level science courses to advanced mathematics. In my opinion, the most rewarding aspect of tutoring is when I am able to convey a particularly challenging question to a student. I do this by approaching concepts from multiple perspectives and breaking things down into layman’s terms. In my free time I enjoy traveling, running, and spending time with my family."
