For Biology, I use a similar style, but with more emphasis on making sure the concepts are as easily understood as possible to facilitate easier learning and memorization. Finally, on a personal level, I enjoy doing just about everything....

...my preferred subject (stoichiometry is fun!). My main goal in teaching and tutoring is to simplify concepts that initially seem difficult and to reduce frustration in math and science by building students' confidence in their problem-solving abilities. Math and science become much easier with individualized attention and instruction! Aside from teaching and learning, I enjoy...
