I am a quiet person, but I am a...

...those basic rhetorical skills and apply them in ways that were new and less standardized. I genuinely enjoy editing papers because I love seeing someone get their arguments across in ways they thought they couldn't. Finally, outside of academics, my interests are mostly in food. I cook and bake a whole lot, constantly experimenting with recipes. After all, it's still science. And I'm a frequent visitor to my local library. Reading and writing make my...

...improve. I want to show students that consistent effort pays off after several weeks or months. My approach to tutoring centers around practice problems and working through problems. I also love pointing out resources to students in order to empower them to become individual learners. Tutoring is simply a supplement, in my opinion. I think the best tutors are able to walk through a problem with the student and show them in real-time their own...

...I love teaching chemistry. It is a subject that sometimes is avoided or feared by students and my goal is to help them feel more confident and succeed. So much of what holds us back from learning a subject is lack of confidence. Many of my students have responded well to breaking concepts down into patterns, lots of practice and visual examples when possible. I highly encourage questions and I ask a lot of questions...

...a strong foundation for future concepts. I also believe that students should not expect to be spoon-fed answers by a tutor, but instead should utilize the tutor as a source for guidance.

Outside of academia, I enjoy reading, traveling, watching movies, telling jokes, and hanging out with...

Thankfully I have now found Varsity Tutors, I am excited to be a part of a community of fierce educators devoted...

...discover what they think is interesting about the subject. Once an interest is formed, appreciation and understanding easily develop. My approach to tutoring subjects that center around problem solving, such as Chemistry and Physics, is to go over a variety of example problems and learn all the different methods to solving such problems. For subjects with more abstract concepts, such as Biology, Biochemistry, and other Life Science topics, my emphasis shifts towards understanding the broader...

Each person accumulates a different set of skills and specialities during their life. Rather than being afraid to look stupid, it is important to be eager to learn from others. I love spreading my knowledge in a casual environment, and using that to help others achieve their fullest potential!

...at the feats that have come with math and science and for that reason I want to share my love for those topics. There is always more to learn (especially still being an undergrad) but that is the most exciting thing about school, no matter how much you know, theres always another book to stump/amaze you. It has been my life dream to attend medical school and after an internship in Spain it is clear...

...attention on organic chemistry, taking both the majors courses, as well as the 450, 538, and 640 synthetic design and mechanisms courses as electives. Since graduation I have kept myself busy doing freelance research and technical writing, including writing some material for the college board's AP chemistry exam. I hope that through tutoring and working with Varsity I can share my skill and passion for the sciences and help others find similar enjoyment.

I believe in chemical thinking to generate curiosity among the learners and motivate them to learn chemistry. I strongly encourage the "active learning method" as my teaching strategy in order to improve their critical thinking, problem-solving, ability. Since I myself is a curious learner I firmly believe that teaching is the best way...
