...degree in Physics. I have experience tutoring students in a variety of areas, but I am most passionate about STEM subjects, namely Physics and Mathematics. I believe that while students find these subjects interesting, many students are not in the correct mindset to properly grasp certain concepts. I steer students toward this mindset through patience and detailed, step-by-step lesson plans that individual students can relate to. In my spare time, I enjoy travelling, learning guitar,...

...not understanding or struggling at math then you are simply not being taught in a way you understand. I like playing handball, soccer, football, and video games such as super smash, Dragonball Z, and league of legends. I love food, so I love going different places to eat and cooking too. When I teach someone, it reflects on me too, and because of that I feel I need to help them understand the subject as...

...America. When we arrived, the 2 oldest of my 5 children, and I had difficulties to acclimate to our new life. I understand how difficult it is to learn a new language; more so, when it is a language that you don't use all the time. It is why I use different teaching methods in my lessons, incorporating the audible, the visual, and the spoken. When my children were old enough to attend school, I...

...Physics geek myself, I feel content when a student is able to see through the obstacles that come up when solving a math or physics problem, and appreciate the beauty of the subjects.

In my free time, I love listening to music and analyzing them,...

...can also be used effectively in tutoring other subjects; for example, I always ask the student what they???re working on in class at the moment and I ask them to explain it to me. I then react according to what their response is, personalizing the session for each student. This is also a way for me to know exactly where they???re at with a particular topic or paper they???re working on. In a summary, my...

From my college experience, Calculus 1 provides many fundamental concepts that apply in many real-world applications such as Physics and Economics. My belief in the importance of learning mathematics is rooted in the fact that it enables us to be creative problem solvers for many different obstacles that arise. In my free time, I enjoy tennis,...

...I just have experience tutoring. I know how it works and how to get results. Most times the student's actual problems aren't addressed and the interaction between student and tutor is very passive and does not garner results. I work with the student and ensure that all concepts are thoroughly ingrained before moving on to the next one. When I'm not enriching young minds, I enjoy performing stand up comedy. I also do a lot...

My teaching style emphasizes flexibility and exploring the kind of learning most suitable...

...someone else. The rest of my time was spent participating in study groups, where colleagues and I would teach each other. From my previous experience as a student and as a tutor, I have learned that understanding a subject depends greatly on how the material is presented. That is why it is important for me to be able to adapt to the student's preferred teaching style or one that they are most comfortable with. Once...

...long term. As an added benefit, it also helps to fill any gaps in their education from previous years and improves their ability to quickly absorb new topics in the future. When I am not tutoring or attending class, I spend most of my time reading or writing. I have a large portfolio of short stories, am working on my first novel, and have begun working with professors at school to start getting my work...

...is not some bizarre form of torture. It can even be fun. I promise! As a tutor my primary goal is not to teach towards specific problems. Rather, it is to establish strong foundations and to teach methods to figure out how to apply those fundamentals to any problem the student might encounter. I try to really drive home, on a conceptual level, why things are done the way that they are. Over the course...
