...my excitement about these subjects with my students. I find that many students shy away from the core concepts in physics and, preferring instead to learn only the specific problems assigned. This can result in the confusion when the student is confronted with a new problem. For this reason, I first ensure that the student grasps the basic concepts, and I then illustrate the concepts with a variety of examples. Learning in this way leads...

...state of the world today. I believe that an academic education provides an important foundation on which to build one's life path, but I also think that learning is a life long process, and should be engaging and exciting rather than feeling like a tedious chore.

I am most passionate about students overcoming challenges to their dreams, whether it is college prep to be accepted to their 'reach' school, passing an 'impossible' course, or pursuing a course that calls their heart. Speaking of calling hearts, I continue to write poetry, farm in West Oakland, and...

As a UC Berkeley graduate with medical school aspirations, tutoring and teaching is a natural transition. I have experience with all age groups (elementary to post-college) and enjoy the process of creating true understanding along with building strong relationships with my students.

...California, Merced, currently the smallest college in the UC system. Being in such a small school allows a really strong sense of community, and as a result, I have gotten a lot of opportunities to help fellow students along with their homework and studying. What I've gathered is that learning why a student was doing poorly was just as important as learning what content they were having trouble with. What I have to offer isn't...

The subjects I tutor are Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Math, Physics, English, Psychology, and some test prep. My favorite subjects are...
