...and archaeology seem quite different, on a fundamental level both fields involve solving puzzles. This is why I love tutoring in physics, math, and Latin, all of which are topics embedded with puzzles. I'll begin with physics and math . I have tutored a number of students who believe that they are simply unable to understand the material at a high level. However, I truly believe that with proper instruction every student is capable of...

...subjects with a large focus around chemistry. I have always been passionate in chemistry and love to spend hours in the lab conducting experiments. So I was always excited to tutor students to share that love in chemistry I had with them. After receiving my bachelors degree, I have spent time working in industry as a research scientist in a polymer chemistry lab. Outside of my professional life, I have two little twin boys who...

I've tutored elementary through college students for multiple years throughout college and I've enjoyed each of my experiences thoroughly.

...and my approach to these subjects is very different. Nearly everything in the world can be broken down into something smaller, both literally and figuratively. There is no such thing as a concept that is too complex to understand. Any concept can be broken down into things that people understand quite easily. Outside of the classroom, I dedicate most of my time to coaching lacrosse and working as an EMT. In my free time, I...

...had extensive experience working with students in elementary, middle, and high school. Everyone learns differently, and I have to be perceptive enough to assess what they need. The same method won't work for every student, but I've developed a vault of techniques to use for every skill that I teach, so if they aren't getting it, I just start up a new way of teaching. Currently, I am a chemistry tutor on campus. The most...

...information click in students minds when I tailored explanations and material to their specific learning style, be that through mathematical examples, anecdotal mnemonics, or kinesthetic. Chemistry is my passion, but it stems from my love of math and numbers. I understand that both subjects can be a frightening to tackle for many students, but I believe that learning is a gift and should be made fun even when the material is difficult.

...explanations if needed. My drive in teaching comes from my enjoyment in using my knowledge and experience to help students understand new, difficult material. I also love leading them to those satisfying moments of realization when everything clicks, and showing students the usefulness of subjects outside of the classroom, like the chemistry of cooking! In my free time, I enjoy cooking, the guitar, video games and quality time with my friends and family.
