...in terms of "pretend you want to hit the baseball farther than anyone else and you need to figure out what angle will get you there" can make a light bulb go on. All of my previous students have had different learning styles, personalities, and interests; one of my favorite things about tutoring is figuring out what makes them tick so I can come up with appropriate examples. When I have time, I am a...

...the most effective ways to learn science, math, and Spanish are from people who use these subjects every day: for example, a Spanish speaking scientist. My teaching style is very different to that of a typical classroom because I use concepts from science and math every day and understand how they are most easily applied and explained. I try however possible to enrich the learning students gain in the classroom with practical applications for the...

...a graduate of Georgetown University’s physiology masters program. I have tutored students in chemistry and life sciences for over six years. Most recently, I taught a summer course at Georgetown in the fundamentals of medical science to high school sophomores through seniors. I understand that everyone learns differently so I tailor my lessons to my students' needs and goals. Especially in subjects like organic chemistry, where students often feel overwhelmed, I am able to use...

...an excellent way to measure how each side is doing with learning and teaching the necessary material. To ensure that I, as a tutor, am teaching the material to the best of my abilities, will require me to teach in many different methods. Utilizing group work, class discussion, visual learning, kinesthetic learning, as well as a multitude of other techniques will allow me to have a student-centered learning environment rather than the traditional teach-centered learning....

Knowing how you learn, while also being open to new approaches, can make science great fun to learn!...
