...tutor in a way that involves asking the student questions and leading them to discover the answer/procedure for themselves, so that they understand why they are using certain methods and can apply them to novel situations rather than depending on rote memorization. Outside of academia, I enjoy playing music (guitar and drums), and although I listen to all kinds of music, I primarily enjoy playing blues, jazz, and rock. I also like to read (I...

My tutoring style involves breaking complex subjects down into smaller fractions and slowly building up to the whole concept, which is quite effective. Additionally, I try to relate the subjects to the real world so that the student can identify why it is important and fun to learn. Outside of the academic world, my hobbies include playing volleyball, football, or basketball, scuba diving,...

Throughout my education, I have learned ways to make the material accessible to students with various learning styles and needs. I also taught two years in a private school to students from 5th-12th grades for Algebra 1, Geometry, Precalculus and Calculus. There is nothing comparable to helping students reach an understanding of concepts they once found foreign. In my spare...

...in meeting the student at his or her level of understanding and proceed to help in the explanation of physical concepts and use practical examples. I often teach the student how to decode and understand word problems in math and physics and convert them into the simplest equations.
