...college level for the past 7 years. My research touches on the interactions between math and theoretical computer science, as well as number theory (largely the study of prime numbers). I've taught courses ranging from basic arithmetic up through linear algebra and multivariable calculus. The second most exciting thing about mathematics is that moment when something totally opaque and confusing suddenly solidifies into crystal clarity. It's the sort of moment that makes you shout "aha!"...

...anatomy, and physiology at the college level as well as working with students of all ages with math, science, and English. I love creating an interactive learning environment where the student and I work together towards solving problems rather than just lecturing. I feel the best way to learn something is to do it, and I hope that we can work together towards understanding rather than memorization. Whatever the topic, I hope to be a...

...interesting and have bearing on what students know about their lives. This requires me to get to know my students, their likes and dislikes. I believe students should be respected for who they are and not belittled. I don't believe anyone should be forced to conform to a system arbitrarily or unnecessarily.

I also have experience assisting with high school Spanish. When I teach I try to help students fully understand the concepts and logic behind subjects. This way they not only can apply them on a test but they learn useful skills and ways to think and...

...in the realms of math, science, and engineering, and I am eager to help others do the same. The best way to learn, in my mind, is through cultivating a willingness to examine the complex nature of the world around us. This does not always come easy (the best things in life rarely do), but I firmly believe that this willingness allows us to become successful as individuals and as contributors to the well-being of...
