...I'm capable of tutoring a wide variety of subjects, but I particularly enjoy teaching mathematics, chemistry, and biology. These subjects normally inspire drawn out yawns and shivering fear at the seemingly unattainable knowledge held within them. However, I think they are just very misunderstood, and that when properly addressed can reveal a whole new and exciting world for so many people. Especially for students trying to figure out what they want in life! I've done...

...you are able to make that connection. I like to take something that seems foreign and break it down into its basic concepts and relate that to something that is familiar. I have found that small victories win wars. Outside of education, I am an avid hiker. I live in one of the greatest states to do it in and I plan on exploring all over.

...use real world examples and show you unique ways to remember any steps for any problems you are facing. You will learn the process of thinking, not just solving.

...passion of mine—coaching soccer—while I tutor and look for a good doctoral program to attend. My plans are to continue in the field of education one day as a professor of either history or education. With my vast classroom experience I am very good at assessing student needs and responding accordingly.

...C++, C, Python, Qt, and Bash). I teach in the Socratic method. Simply presenting physics or mathematics as a series of disconnected facts is not the correct way to teach a subject that involves active reasoning and problem solving. My students learn best when I teach them how to ask questions. For example, one student setup an appointment with me asking me how to draw a ray diagram depicting a convex lens forming an image....
