...they need to be in an environment like tutoring where they are allowed to be wrong without penalty. Failure is a vital step of learning. Outside of tutoring, I play a variety of sports, though tennis is the only one I pursue on a competitive, advanced level. I am also a father, an aspiring screenwriter,...

I frequently encourage them to come up with a rough estimate of the answer before delving into formulas and calculations, instructing them to think about the problem in a logical manner first. With an easy-going style, I strive to make students relaxed and...

...find so interesting. An added bonus is being able to help someone meet their classroom goals. I recently earned a B. S. in Physics with Distinction in the Curriculum from U of I at Urbana-Champaign with a Minor in Mathematics. I also took enough math courses out of my own interest that I was a...

...Development. While programming is exciting to me, one of my other passions is teaching the math and science subjects that accompany Computer Science. I learned very early on that it wasn't the material that was most essential to learning, but it is the proper learning environment that really pushes students to do their best. That...

Microbiologist and analyst. I love to help students connect the concepts we learn in theory and really get them to use it in the applications you would as a scientist.
