Award-Winning ACT Reading Tutors in Kansas City, MO

...In order to engage more with non-biology majors, I reiterated complex concepts by illustrating hand-drawn diagrams as well as verbal explanations. I took a very similar approach to teaching students that were more well-versed in biology when I taught Fundamentals of Microbiology Laboratory, where I focused on providing not only hand-written notes but also hands-on demonstrations. My approach to teaching is a comprehensive approach I encourage students to learn material with all of their senses...

I have lived a very fortunate life and have had the opportunity to grow academically. Practice had been the key for me to succeed academically.

..."getting it". Teaching is collaboration. Rewarding and positive correction are the best ways to encourage students to keep trying even after a mistake is made. I also think that due to the nature of learning over time, focusing too long on one mistake, especially in grammar at least, is not as conducive as saying, good practice, we will keep working on this, and going to the next point. In lots of events, the thing that...

...student. My teaching philosophy is simple: Nobody is simply "bad at math!" Most people have convinced themselves of this, but it simply not true. They simply haven't found someone with the patience and background to guide them to a solid understanding. One of the best ways to help someone on their learning journey is to create a space where they feel comfortable "failing" and asking questions. In order to learn, people need to know that...
