...a tutor and teacher, starting when the chair of my high school's math department recommended me to a number of families during my junior year of high school. I tutored for two years in High School, then worked all four years of college as a tutor, study group leader and teaching assistant. My professional life was also in the field of education until I left to start my Masters in the fall of 2012. When...

...empathy toward how the student sees the material. It is very easy for someone intimately familiar with a subject to fall, without thinking about it, into a mindset that everyone can see those connections of familiarity just as easily. I always try to remember how overwhelming it can be to see this material for the first time, and teach accordingly, breaking things down to as simple a set of parts as possible. Beyond my work,...

I love traveling, dancing, and reading. But, what I am most passionate about, is learning.... Each one; teach one.... Introductions. Then, find out what the student knows and what the student needs help with.... By asking the student to explain how they get to their answers. That way, they get a chance to test if they really understand a concept.... By keeping the student engaged.... I would take the time to figure out what exactly is causing the difficulty, and work on it with the student.

As part of my graduate study of physics, I am well versed in all grade school and college-level mathematics. The teaching style I have developed through my own experience, as well as keeping up with the results of physics education research, follows a Socratic principle. Students should be...

...basis and professionally. I used to work for a private tutoring company, where I tutored kids of all grades in really all subjects, including some SAT/ACT prep and standardized testing prep. Math and English are my favorite subjects to tutor (of course) but I enjoy teaching and tutoring in all its forms! I also used to be a Coach for Let's Get Ready, meaning that as a volunteer, I conducted an SAT and college readiness...

...and sister see problems the way I do. I believe strongly that the student gains nothing from the tutor who does their work for them, so I go out of my way to make sure each student understands that grasping the concepts is much more important than solving the individual problems. Besides working with my siblings, I also have experience teaching swim lessons, volunteering in classrooms, and tutoring High School students. My favorite subjects to...

...of mathematics in young people, especially young women. In the last year, I have visited 52 different towns and cities across much of Western Europe while living in France. While there, I was an English Teaching Assistant in Tours, located along the banks of the Loire river. I taught at a school of predominately underprivileged students of North African descent and was lucky enough to learn about their traditions and experiences in France. I have...

Have you ever had the "A Ha" moment? That moment when everything seems to come together and make perfect sense? Sometimes all it takes is an explanation, a demo or a new way of re-framing the question. That is what I enjoy about...

...of California at Berkeley. I have been a tutor for the last few years. I have worked primarily with undergraduate physics and engineering students, both individually and in large groups. I am a great tutor because I am extremely patient. I believe that the best way to teach is to first listen carefully to how a student is approaching a problem. Rather than jumping in with my own favorite tricks, I help students understand which...
