Certified Tutor
I am a graduate student at UCI studying Optical Engineering. I have six years of experience helping students with math and science from elementary school topics through university topics. I believe that as a teacher, it is important to make sure you aren't simply stating the answers. The most important part of learning is developing a link from a question to the correct answer, a path the student can follow on their own terms to reach the correct answer choice. This isn't something that comes with forced repetition and no explanation. I try to help students master a set of tools so they have a path to follow and aren't left to grope around in the dark. It's important for me to understand the way the student's mind works. If they are having trouble understanding a problem, I do my best to walk through the processes they are trying out. Once I understand how the student sees the problem I can identify what tool they need to fix it. I have had some amazing teachers in my academic career and they really made the difference for me. I want to help inspire others to their full potential. I am patient and attentive, but I leave space for the student to come to the answer on their own.
