...because I suffer from a mostly useless knack for such tests, and helping soon-to-be test takers learn the logic of such tests is the only way I can constructively utilize this skill.

...be designed around the student. This starts by identifying strengths and weaknesses and building a solid foundation before moving forward. From there I believe it is important to build the student's confidence while working through example questions in their problem areas, while simultaneously building better study skills geared towards the specific student and subject matter. I also try to find fun or exciting ways to make the subject interesting to the student while helping them...

...UCSD. As a Teaching Assistant, each quarter I was responsible for guiding 40-80 students through weekly discussions of the course content. Additionally, I was responsible for holding weekly one-on-one office hours to help struggling students. It was through my experience as a teaching assistant that led me towards a passion for teaching. Currently I am working as a Research Technician at the same lab where I conducted my Neuroscience research and in the process of...

...Geometry to AP Calculus BC, as well as Chemistry, all with great results from all of my peers. While I can tutor in most subjects, I particularly enjoy tutoring Chemistry and higher level Mathematics, like Calcuus or Pre-Calculus, because I myself am very passionate about these subjects, and think about many the core concepts a lot outside of class, so I have a wholesome understanding of them. I always like to emphasize "the basics" or...
