...with physics and mathematics close seconds. My teaching philosophy can be summed up as follows: Learning should be fun. People learn at different rates and in different ways. Teaching and learning should be flexible and made to fit the student. It's good to take breaks and let your brain rest. My tutoring style is to be a guide and to help a student "learn how to learn", so to speak. I like to try to...

...is rewarding and it is what I do best. I believe that to learn something well enough to draw from this knowledge when it is needed, all relevant vocabulary and equations must be thoroughly understood. Formulas that are memorized without understanding where they come from are soon forgotten. I balance this tedium with jokes and funny faces to make my students laugh. I have found that each individual's impediments to learning can be very different....

...with students from elementary to high school. I often find myself saying that the only thing I love more than Math are people who hate Math. I have failed Math classes before and struggled with difficult topics and found my way through. I understand that Math is often the most difficult, confusing, and most frustrating subject for most people. Half of succeeding in Math is knowledge, but the other half is pure confidence. I want...

...and it allows me to find any gaps in my own knowledge and fix them. I generally prefer to help students with areas they have some background in, rather than introducing new topics. (For example, meeting with a student after a class to help them with the material they've just covered but may not understand.) I can do the latter if necessary; however, I am less certain about my ability to do so in a...
