...would have been difficult to achieve. I prefer students to understand, from their unique point of view, why 1+1=2, why x*y=z or why "knock" only has one 'k' sound. Kids have a lot going on in their academic and personal lives, so I take time to talk to my students, take a few steps back from the problem and understand how they're tackling the problem. I've found that this conversation facilitates my understanding of how...

...College of Medicine. I have knowledge in a broad field of areas and subjects and I am always excited to teach willing students. My philosophy is that there are no hard subjects. Any difficult concept can be broken down into easier, more digestible content, based on how well a tutor can understand their students.

One key thing I have found is that to be successful in class is preparation. This may be the most important factor to success. Tutoring benefits people of all grade levels by offering a chance to learn in a focused environment as opposed to a large class room. When it...

...in Mathematics. I love helping others with math and getting a glimpse of how different students learn. Too many times in math courses, students are overloaded with definitions and theorems and sent off to apply them alone. I understand that not everyone can read math and sometimes need to see math in use in order to understand a concept well. I'm all about learning, rather than memorizing. Math builds on itself so if a concept...

I have a strong passion for math and nothing feels better then watching someone learn it. My favorite subject of all time is Calculus. It's so fascinating how so much stuff in nature can be described by it. I...

We perform output calibrations for particle accelerators that give radiation therapy to patients. I plan on continuing my education to become a medical physicist.

...to figure out what his teachers were trying to convey during his class time (in various subjects, from math to history) and what exactly he was being asked to prepare and complete for various tests, homework, and projects.
