...problem might be altered. Listening to music and taking tests both reward perseverance: one might notice nuances and subtleties in one's favorite song and hearing it repeatedly, and a person's objective score on a test will inevitably increase through constant exposure. Most importantly, a sense of rhythm is invaluable, quite literally in the case of listening to music but figuratively in the case of test-taking, where you develop your personalized method to remaining calm in...

...the same time, I began tutoring high school students in chemistry, biology, and mathematics. With three years tutoring experience, I have developed a teaching philosophy focused on meeting the student where they are. I believe that students struggling with a subject are not "bad at it", they just have not found the right approach. My job is to help each student master the material at hand by exploring different learning styles and techniques. Though I...

...make mistakes sometimes, but that we need to be willing to look at those areas to see where we can improve. I see mistakes as an opportunity for me to teach the concepts in a different way, and I like to work creatively to find a teaching method that works for every student. With younger students especially, I think it's important to incorporate play into the learning process to foster a love of learning. My...

...are Latin, Anthropology, and Social Studies because I love to make the parallels, but I have wide ranging experience with many different subjects. I believe that all students can achieve success in classes, but some students need different explanations, approaches, or instructional methods. I have experience working with traditional Latin methods, as well as trying to integrate technology into my methods. I enjoy reading books of all types (my current genre of interest is Young...

In any subject, I focus on study skills, critical thinking, and independent concept reinforcement so that soon the student will no longer need me to excel. Some of my own favorite subjects to study include languages (I've studied Arabic, Spanish, Latin, and a sprinkling of Japanese), medieval history, and electrical engineering. When I'm not tutoring, I spend my time writing...
