...of New York. Subjects that I am the most comfortable teaching are math (up to Algebra 2), science (Biology, Pharmacology, Pharmacokinetics, etc), and certain languages (Korean, Japanese, French) at the beginner level. While dabbling in a few "teaching" experiences (teaching assistant for a course, Paint Nite instructor) I found that I do best in a 1-on-1 setting which tutoring fits the bill. My teaching style is incredibly laid-back and my end-goal is making sure that...

I enjoyed my interaction with the students so much that, after graduating, I decided to adjunct lecture at a community college. There, I welcomed the exciting challenge of engaging adult learners in an introductory biology course with labs. Recently, I have garnered some extensive private experience tutoring middle to high-school age students in Algebra, Geometry, ELA, Chemistry and Biology,...

...of great difficulty, math can still be learned. To learn math is to learn the approach and steps to the problem. The most important thing is to understand why the approach is taken this way or another way. Math is an interesting subject as there are many routes to solve a problem.

...ranging from elementary school classes to college level courses. I tutor algebra, geometry, calculus, chemistry, physics, reading comprehension, and writing composition. My favorite subjects to teach is physics because many students view it as a hard science, but after tutoring, they feel it to be much more intuitive than they initially believed. I believe that patience is the most important quality during tutoring. I will take any measure needed to ensure my students feel comfortable...

I can help you better understand basics concepts of mathematics and show you how they can be applied in everyday life through realistic illustrative examples.

Practice problems.... Ask questions.... Example sets, textbooks. Interact... simplify... use examples and applications from real...

...to teach in a small classroom and in an individual setting. I loved being able to help students achieve their academic goals and see their process of development. My philosophy for learning is knowing the basics well. Without understanding the basics well enough, it will be difficult to grasp more complex ideas. An example would be general biology, it is important to know how cells work because it will help a student understand how tissues...
