...studied Physics and Applied Mathematics. I also have extensive experience working in tutoring. One of my most enjoyable moments in undergrad was working as a Research Assistant at Semyung University in optimizing the instruction of curricula for incoming college freshmen. I believe in a problem based approach rather than a lecture based one. Most deficiencies in scores are caused by gaps in the student's knowledge. Through assessment, we can identify where these areas are and...

As an engineering student, I am very familiar with high level math, physics, chemistry, and other STEM courses, as well as English, writing, and public speaking. I can use teaching methods demonstrated by my professors to teach others. In high school, I tutored younger students in Latin, using techniques like flashcards and quizzes.

I am a recent graduate of physics at the University of Arizona, with two years of teaching experience at the college level.

I have the confidence to teach and tutor subjects of undergraduate level and under subjects, e.g., mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology. All you need to do is giving me a try.

...my primary goal but I enjoy enriching their understanding of the universe and enabling their critical thinking. My students learn to understand proper time management and how to break down activities. I also like to make sure my students feel comfortable with analysis, editing, note taking, and other methods to give them a competitive edge. The fuel students should use is intrinsic motivation, enjoyment, and the thrill of delving into a topic they can use...

I enjoy meeting new people and to engage in learning with them!

I am a former physics researcher who has tutored math and physics on a one-on-one basis for several years. I have a very individualized approach to teaching that takes into account the goals of the student.

...learn. While a student, I learned through peer study groups that the act of teaching is one of the best ways to learn and master a subject. I employ this strategy when teaching, as having a student attempt to teach back the material is an invaluable technique when learning to solidify understanding and find ones weaknesses. I also believe that a solid grasp of the fundamental ideas in a subject are essential in learning, as...

These frequent study sessions helped me learn ways to become much more...

...tutored and taught several undergraduate chemistry courses, including: general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, and high school chemistry. I absolutely love teaching students. I most enjoyed when students understood the concepts and could apply them to new problems. I believe it is most important for students to understand the concepts, rather than memorize specific formulas, reactions, or mechanisms. By learning the concepts, you can apply the concepts to problems to more challenging problems. I hope...

...was a student, I always appreciated tutors and teachers who were engaging and made me excited about the material. Those two attributes are something I strive for while tutoring. Attending college has allowed me to gain a lot of experience tutoring various math and physics classes. When I work with my students, I focus on the logical steps to understanding the material. Then applying that knowledge to problem solving techniques. In math I tutor classes...
