...group of six students and me created the first working program that locates a tumor in the body. I also worked as a conference assistant because I wanted to improve my communication and leadership skills as I was able to communicate professionally with other staff through emails, write reports, patrol other residential buildings, and check guests into the buildings.

I have previously tutored students ages 5 to >22 in a variety of subjects ranging from different math and science classes, test prep (ACT, SAT, MCAT, USMLE Step 1 and 2), and college/grad school...

...applications of math to knitting visit my old hobby blog, http://www.thedietdiary.com/blog/lucia/530 . While knitting is probably not your hobby, I can generally find applications that can help make a mathematical concept we are working on meaningful. Applications come from all sorts of places: geometric progressions relate to growth of money in a bank account, Newtons laws of mechanics can be related to baseball and combinations and permutations used in probability have applications in gambling, investing,...

...the world, as well as improving critical thinking and problem solving. In my spare time I like to go cycling, rock climbing, and play billiards. All three of these activities I use as avenues to find and deepen my own focus. The bicycle is a device that is meant to make life easier, but allows the rider to make the experience as physically challenging as possible. I find that both rock climbing and billiards are...

...the city (Lakeview/Lincoln Park in Chicago) and the west suburbs (Addison, IL). When I am tutoring a student, I look to make a problem applicable to the student's experiences. I look to show them the parallels between things they are familiar with and the problem in question. Seeing a student's realization that they can solve a problem brings me satisfaction. In my free time, I enjoy computer programming, plane spotting, reading, 3d modeling, Aviation, playing...

...think I started tutoring to share in that. But, as I've had more experience, I think the part I really try for now is the moment when students who are having trouble unlock the concept. I believe everyone has their own learning style, and by presenting the problem in new ways and making new connections, everyone can achieve their learning goals in math. Aside from tutoring and studying, I also enjoy traveling, exploring different foods...

...9 years; and the German language, since my graduate education was in Germany and I gained a high degree of proficiency. In math and physics, despite being ultimately able to reach a high level, I was never the first to pick up on any new concept but struggled through each one to understand. I still remember the conceptual hoops one needs to jump through in order to learn the material. I have a more personal...

...learning characteristics: -Do you like to follow a set of direct instructions to get the result? Or -You like to find a quickest way to solve the problem on your own, or -You like to understand the material on a deeper level to feel more confident? -Do you feel comfortable handling math formulas and equations? If you can answer positively any of these questions, I will be able to establish a comfortable learning environment for...

...goal. My teaching philosophy is basically the Socratic method. Among its many benefits, this method makes it easy to engage with students. I also like to stress understanding. I remember the 1973 movie, "The Paper Chase", and the memorable performance by John Houseman, as Professor Kingsfield. I always thought that portrayal, in terms of teaching style, was something I admired, and I used that memory as a guide, as I strived to develop my style....
