A huge part of my responsibilities included after school tutoring. I particularly love working on math problems because I enjoy the idea of breaking things down to their parts. Sometimes all it takes is strengthening the foundation in order to understand things better. Other subjects I love working on are...

Studying Applied Mathematics at Texas A&M. I wish to help benefit society in a way that only someone with my skills would be able to. Currently, I believe educating those who wish to seek higher education is the most effective way to do so.

...school, I tutored Competition Math. More recently, I spent many months tutoring groups of highschoolers in Geometry to prepare them for their TAKS exams. I have also given one-on-one Calculus tutoring to several college students, as Calculus is my favorite subject.

...schools and hope to one day become an orthodontist. I have an immense passion for learning, and the best way for me to learn is to teach.

...recently have worked with high school students in a variety of math and science subjects. I always strive to set goals with the student and plan a path to meet those goals. Additionally, I always encourage students, especially young children, to be inquisitive and develop an interest in science. There is nothing more rewarding than watching a student have an "ah-ha" moment when the material makes sense to them. In my spare time, I enjoy...

...both in and out of the classroom. I strongly believe in inquiry-based instruction, which consists of leading students to develop solutions on their own while analyzing their thought process. This allows the student and instructor to discover the student's misconceptions and for the student to correct them. I have found that this method is much more effective than traditional styles because when the student verbalizes their thought process and corrects their own misconceptions, it is...

Outside of the classroom I enjoy physical activities such as tennis...

...organic, physical), biology (including microbiology), biochemistry, anatomy and physiology), ACT test prep (all subjects), and PCAT test prep. While I enjoy helping students in all areas, my favorite subjects to tutor are math and chemistry, as there's so much room for growth of understanding in these subjects that many students dread. I make it a personal goal of mine to have the student enjoy the subject by the end of our sessions, as I believe...

Teaching is the highest form of medicine!

...the most important aspect of being a tutor. In the classroom, my students can expect me to cover concepts with both depth and clarity. Outside of lesson plans, my students can also expect me to reply promptly to any questions they may have about the subjects we cover. But communication is also a two way street. In order to be a more effective tutor, I try to understand my student's specific goals and challenges so...

...look for mistakes, because no one needs the advice, "Don't make that mistake!". The teacher tries to hear what the student wants and then figures what to work on in order to get there. I've been both a student and teacher of guitar, and I try to take that teaching style into my tutoring. I never start by explaining material or by "simplifying" it (because that usually means repeating it again and again!) but by...
