...and composing music. As for my teaching philosophy, one size does not fit all! Teaching has general skills and procedures but what topics are chosen to teach and how they are taught must be tailored to the individual and the experience at hand. Most topics in education are relatively easy once you stop teaching in the jargon of the discipline and explain that many concepts now learned in 45 minutes of class time may have...

...schools for the Fall 2015 cycle and I am excited to join the field of medicine. While in college, I held a job as an organic chemistry lab instructor and tutored, informally, general chemistry, analytical chemistry, and various English courses like grammar, American literature, and Elizabethan literature. My favorite of the set was organic chemistry because I was not only able to help teach the students the subject matter but, as a lab instructor, I...

...I believe that tutoring is a very underestimated supplemental tool that should be more seriously considered if a student is having trouble grasping the concept. A fair and adaptive 1-on-1 tutoring method helps students to understand the material on their own, which is ultimately the goal of any education. When I am not tutoring, I am either responding as an EMT or firefighter for my fire department or playing basketball, volleyball, football, or rugby. If...

...semesters, during my junior and senior college education. I successfully designed a study curriculum, led a team of tutors in Physics, Math and Computational Science Olympiads and taught many gifted students.

Please feel free to contact...

Currently a student at Yale University studying Molecular Biophysics/Biochemistry and Comparative Literature. ... Get to know them a bit. I think comfort is kind of a prerequisite.... Helping students find and do practice problems is key. You need to know what you don't know, and self-testing is the only way to do that.... Point out progress that they don't notice! It's so much easier to notice from the outside.... Try approaching it a different way. If not numerically, then graphically. If not graphically, then verbally. Rinse, lather, repeat.
