...university. While I tutor a broad range of subjects, my favorite subjects to tutor are Math, Spanish, Environmental and Earth Science, and Biology. I'm passionate about helping students because I've seen many have that "a-ha moment" while tutoring, and I know how important those moments are to their understanding and learning. I want to help more students find those moments of clarity in whatever subject they are struggling in so that they can have more...

However, I also have 2 years of elementary school classroom experience, working primarily with 3rd and 4th grade students.

...find that this is where a good tutor can induce the most "Ah ha!" moments because there are so many patterns that can help you ace that test if you know where to look. Helping students conquer these subjects (and become "math people") by identifying and breaking down the methodology is very rewarding. My philosophy for tutoring has always been: Some people teach to the test. Others teach to the book. I teach to the...

I believe in guiding students through new concepts by breaking them down into smaller parts, including what...

...for a student's opinion, but writing asks for just that. I like guiding students to figuring out the right answer, instead of telling them. Working with students and prompting them to what they need to know allows what they've learned to stick, so they can keep moving and building their understanding. Especially with younger kids, it can be easy just to tell them, but letting them do the work allows them to grow faster than...

...make that subject real and important by sharing some of my own stories. Most of all, I work to inspire students' own natural curiosity and desire to succeed. There are no wrong, bad or incorrect questions. I encourage all the students I work with to ask whatever questions they have during a time I set aside after our work is done and I promise them that I'll answer them all as best I can.... I work...

...exactly how to work with students of all backgrounds and temperaments. My teaching style involves Socratic Questioning and is highly interdisciplinary. It is never a one-way stream of information. I will be asking you a lot of questions along the way. The two most lessons that I teach to my students: 1. tolerance of uncertainty; and 2. confidence in your own self-efficacy. Everyone can attain mastery. I never doubt. Anything can be learned, if you...
