...Chemistry. It is my favorite subject to learn, so helping others understand it allows me to solidify my own knowledge of it. My approach to tutoring anything, especially the harder subjects, is to always use relatable examples or metaphors to strike a connection in a student's mind.

I am looking to get some more experience tutoring and teaching with the idea of pursuing further academic work in the future.... It changes based on the student. Not all students work well with a particular philosophy, nor should such a philosophy be set in stone.... I would look to understand the student's class, goals, and strengths/weaknesses. Then I might have them work on their normal homework with me making suggestions to get an idea of...

...I'm an expert in everything - it's because the only thing I enjoy more than learning is helping someone else learn. A good tutor doesn't just explain the subject to you - they explain what's cool about it, how it applies to your life, and why you want to learn it. If I have to brush up on my AP Chemistry as an excuse to explain why dimensional analysis is actually the most useful math...

Many students benefit from one on one learning experiences. It is important that students get individual attention to ensure that they understand the material, and that attention is not always given in the classroom environment. Students should be able to feel comfortable with their teachers and ask questions when they need clarification, and there should be enough trust between teacher and student for easy conversation.

During my free time I enjoy traveling and exploring new places, hiking, photography, playing tennis, and...
