...courses. I was recently a Microbiology Professor in Portland and really enjoyed the student-teacher interaction. I am looking to continue this through tutoring students in the Phoenix area.

...logic classes in the philosophy department at UW-Madison. Teaching is the most important part of my life, and my role as an educator is what most defines my identity. I have no general guiding principle about teaching, other than that it isn't really useful to think in terms of such principles. Rather, I think that...

...tutor, nanny, substitute teacher and more. All my experience has taught me how to effectively communicate with students, whether they're struggling or just looking for an extra edge. I've studied myself enough to know what I'm talking about and I have the skills and well-tested patience to convey what I know to kids.... Even with a skilled teacher in the classroom, a student may have trouble succeeding. That's what tutors are for! One-on-one work helps to zero in on exactly how to best help a student. Just a little bit of personalized attention can make all the difference!

...I have experience in this from serving as the New Member Educator for Sigma Nu Fraternity. Our chapter was in the process of re-chartering during my tenure, meaning that all the lesson plans had to be created from scratch and submitted for review by the Sigma Nu national office, who held them to the highest...

A great tutor is someone who is flexible and tailors instruction to the needs and strengths of the student. I believe in educating the whole student and using their strengths to boost confidence and achieve results.

...some patience. I absolutely live by the phrase slow and steady wins the race. I will make sure every student I work with will understand every subject down to the tee, no matter how long it takes. I love to get to know my students and look forward to meeting everyone I work with!... Patience, friendliness, and understanding is key.

...discussion between individuals, based on asking and answering questions to stimulate critical thinking and to illuminate ideas. Chess is excellent for improving logic and critical analysis skills. The game of World of Warcraft is excellent for improving organizational and attention-to-detail skills. Reading novels of your favorite genre is excellent for improving reading comprehension.... A curious colleague once inquired about my teaching "methods." I found myself at a loss for words. Good research is a matter of rigor and method, but good teaching is a matter of heuristic and mindset. As one personal mentor put it, "God makes you a teacher." Another advised, "You learn best by osmosis." Yet, there must be some method to the madness. So, the first principle I set forth is the obligation to perform any task better this time than it was performed last time. As one application of this notion in the realm of teaching, a colleague stated, "Just be sure they learn something." In other words, progress is the goal. The second principle is really a contract, a "meeting of minds." A teacher does not "grant" degrees nor does a teacher "give" grades. A teacher conveys knowledge to the student and evaluates the resulting performance from the student. All roads are two-way. Equality and symmetry are the standards. A student is tested on exactly the material that is taught, no more and no less. This poses an equal burden for both teacher and student. "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." The third principle is flexibility, liberty if you will. It is human nature to solve problems and defy obstacles. Students need more problems and fewer obstacles. For example, the necessity of transmitting grades by a certain date and time does NOT translate into a necessity of taking exams on a certain date and time. A student given the latitude to delay an exam more often than not voluntarily strives to meet an exam date. A student denied latitude resorts to guile, subterfuge, and circumvention. As my grandfather put it, "Locks and laws only work against honest folk." In short, I am a progressive egalitarian libertarian.

...important to me, and tutoring allows me to share that passion with others. I first got into tutoring through a volunteer program in high school, and I continued to tutor during my undergraduate studies, which was some of the most rewarding work I've ever done. My engineering background has allowed me to take a wide...

I have extensive tutoring experience in math, physics, chemistry and engineering subjects. I really enjoy tutoring and like the interaction with students. ... Teaching is a way to share knowledge and improve your own learning.... By helping them understand the core concepts. Focus on understanding the problem itself rather than the solution.... By praising them on their successes, pointing out places for improvement and making learning a fun process.

...students in physics and math. I am interested in making physics and math relatable to people who are not naturally adept at it. I have taken the SAT, the general GRE and the physics GRE subject tests. I also play trumpet and have studied music theory in music camps and AP music theory so I...
