...recent graduate of Northwestern University in Chicago. While there, I majored in Economics and minored in International Studies with a focus in International Political Economy and Development. Beyond these classes, I also had a healthy, eclectic interest in a wide range of subject areas including Multivariable Calculus, Physics, and Film. It is also worth noting that I was able to accomplish all of this in three years, rather than four, due to my focus and...

...students who were struggling in their classes. Initially, I found this difficult; it was a challenge determining exactly where a student's understanding of a topic was faulty. Over time, however, I developed a keener sense for the hurdles that students sometimes face when learning, as well as the most efficient ways to overcome them. I also developed more patience and empathy through tutoring - I often remembered feeling the same confusion about a topic that...

...own educational experience. I draw on tips and tricks that teachers and professors of mine have used which really helped difficult concepts to "click" for me. Most of these techniques associate silly stories or acronyms with concepts, as psychological studies have shown that people are more likely to remember a concept if it is tied to something unusual and memorable. That being said, I believe that every student has their own unique learning style, and...

...the correct one. I find that lecturing is useful to provide explanations for concepts that the student would otherwise have to simply memorize (and not understand), and the working of examples is useful to reinforce the methods and concepts used when solving particular problems. Regardless of how I am working with a student, however, I tend to always introduce a sort of humor and quirkiness that is necessary to set the light, easy-going mood that...

...a tutor and citizen, I strongly support the importance of education because of its ability to empower and improve people's lives. I have made it a priority of mine to tutor in my community as it allows me the opportunity to give back to the students of Phoenix. Given my affinity for problem solving, mathematics teaching, character development and building personal relationships, I am a great candidate to help you progress your learning and advance...

...University. I also completed minors in Math, German, and Philosophy. I have been a tutor for seventeen years, and many of my clients were seen while I was still in school myself.

...Whitman College, where I received my degree in astrophysics with a minor in Japanese. I’ve always gravitated towards math and came to appreciate it as a language all of its own. Awareness of math as an invaluable tool came to me later, after I’d developed a strong interest in physics and astronomy, fields that rely on math heavily. I’ve also taken the time to nurture my passion for the Japanese language and culture. During college,...

...last 20 years and love it! Teaching students to see math in everyday life and take away the fear that is associated with the subject is something I am very passionate about! I have obtained a BS degree in Mathematics from Biola University and a BS degree in Civil Engineering from UC Irvine and have tutored elementary math and Algebra, all the way up to Calculus 2, Statistics and Physics. I am very experienced at...

...information. My teaching style/philosophy is best described as a process of identifying the issues that an individual has with a subject by finding where exactly he/she may have been left behind. After I have found where the student is, I can work towards explaining the material to the point where the student needs to be. I do this by clarifying the simple side of the concepts the student needs to learn and then working on...

...20 years. During this time I have taught a variety of Math and Science classes. I am currently certified in the state of Arizona in General Science, Biology, and Mathematics. I graduated with honors from University of Phoenix (MAEd - Curriculum and Technology), Black Hills State University (BS - Mathematics with a Minor in Middle School Education), and George Washington University (BS - Health Science). Specific tutoring experience includes working with students in my classes,...

...anyone whose willing to go on this amazing scientific journey with me. A teacher can have all the knowledge in the world but if they don't have heart and passion, that doesn't amount to much. I posses not only the knowledge but the heart and passion as well! The strength of a country is not in its wealth but in the knowledge of its people. With that in mind, my aspiration is to empower people...

...school, I took my very first college math class, Finite Mathematics. I was hooked, instantly. I completely reevaluated my life plans to focus on becoming a mathematician and teacher.
