I am currently working as a substitute teacher for the Syracuse City School...

...for elaborating on answers using relevant figures and innovative examples, creating catchy mnemonics, and solving problems from students' point of view. As a tutor, I remained accessible but maintained an appropriate distance to earn students' respect, and five out of ten students improved their scores by more than 200 points. Through these teaching experiences, I have learned not only to become a teacher from the students' perspective, but also what it takes to be an...

...increased my skill in demonstrating procedural activities as well as offering multiple alternatives to obtain the same result, and establishing a more efficient way to deliver training information.

In high school I participated in an after school tutoring program.

...tutored various levels of mathematics, and I have also tutored chemistry and biology subjects. I most enjoy tutoring mathematics courses because I love helping students sharpen their logical thinking skills, and because math is the language of the universe! In particular, I really love tutoring calculus because it can be used to describe tons of real-world phenomena. My tutoring style revolves around teaching students how to break complex topics down to the basics so they...

...different as well. I try to adapt to each of my students. As a baseline, I use a style called the 3 D's. Dictate, Discuss and then Delegate. The directing style promotes learning through listening and following directions. The discussing style promotes learning through interaction. The delegating style promotes learning through empowerment. I typically structure each of my sessions to include some amount of each teaching style. Using an appropriate mix of teaching styles helps...
