...Reading and Learning Association (CLRA) while tutoring for OSU, which taught me the methods needed to effectively relay information to students.

..."design thinking" framework for creative problem solving pioneered by the international design firm IDEO. While typically used in startups to develop new innovations, I've found it extremely handy in tutoring. Every student is different and so are their difficulties, so a finite set of ways to present a concept or tackle a difficulty is potentially limiting. In my experience, it's much more effective to use an adaptive framework like design thinking to identify the root...

...questions, as being able to answer a question will answer just that-one question. Teaching to the concept will allow you to answer the question and all other questions that employ a similar strategy. I also advocate for showing work and repeating steps to synthesize the learning process after a problem has been solved. Outside of education, I'm a big fan of music and live concerts (I produce and perform live electronic music as a glorified...

In my spare time I enjoy playing harp and guitar, learning new...

...Electrical Engineering. I grew up in China and I speak both English and Mandarin. Intense projects and a heavy course load have helped to build a strong foundation in math, physics, and programming. When I came to this country, I was forced to overcome many language problems. I think the most important thing in tutoring is helping students find their own interest and stimulating their desires to get good grades for themselves. Work hard and...
