I love teaching, passing on knowledge and inspiring people to find their footing in math and physics!

...academic topics, my expertise specifically lies in organic chemistry. It is my goal to provide students a fundamental feel for and understanding of chemistry which will enable them to critically analyze problems as opposed to relying on memorization. Outside of classroom, I've both worked on and led a number of academic research, industry, and engineering...

I have been a tutor at multiple colleges and universities for about 4 years. My students have appreciated my efforts in helping them with their classes and that motivates me to continue tutoring.... To make a student understand something, you have to approach the problem from student's point of view. So, its very important to know how does a student understand the problem.

...I am excited to help students see how exciting science and engineering can be. One of my favorite parts of teaching is helping students relate abstract science concepts to tangible physical phenomena. Partly inspired by my love of gardening and birdwatching, I have gained a technical understanding of ecological systems, particularly native plant communities.

...is that all students have their own specific goals and unique ways of learning, and that it is my job to recognize these different ways and adjust my instructing methods to best work with individual students and help them reach their desired goals. I strongly believe that having a solid understanding of the fundamentals is...

...but I do know that I would like to do something that involves Physics, Chemistry, and Computer Science. In High School, I would teach/tutor elementary school students at a tutoring center in Chicago called Ivy Garden. I tutor many High School Math and Science subjects (including AP courses) as well as Math and Science test...

...in chemistry so I have tutored students in everything from algebra to multi-variable calculus.

...confines of the process, but to assist others along the way. One of my favorite parts of my writing sequence that I completed last year was the opportunity to cultivate and grow the ideas of my fellow classmates. I love assisting others in the development of their own work which, naturally, lead me to tutoring...

...While I tutor a broad range of subjects, I am most passionate about chemistry, physics, biology, and math. In my experience helping struggling students is a matter of time and mentoring before they dominating a topic. I am a strong believer in preparing students in the science, technology, and engineering fields. In my spare time,...

...teaching which is something I may pursue in the future. My style of tutoring is very much question based. I first like to gauge where my pupils are and try and rebuild the foundation that they are lacking. I will take as much time that is needed to get my students to understand the topics...
